As a painter, how should I face the original heroine

"Master, I..."

The knight girl seemed hesitant to speak, obviously she didn't want to act according to the previous plan, she just wanted to duel in an upright manner.Whether it's with Lancer or Leviathan, in short, you can't make a sneak attack that insults the name of the knight.

"Execute the plan, look for opportunities to deal with Lancer with Caster's master."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't bother to persuade the King of Knights, and directly assumed the posture of Master, ordering the opponent to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

"Kiritsugu..."

Irisviel looked at Saber who was clenched in fists and tense all over with some worry, and just about to speak out to persuade her husband, but when she turned her head, she saw Emiya Kiritsugu's cold and gloomy face.

"Saber... let's go out to fight first, and then play it by ear."

In desperation, the white-haired wife had no choice but to turn around and persuade the King of Knights, otherwise if her husband used the command spell to force the order, the two would have completely fallen out.

"As ordered."

The Knight King's answer was extremely brief, and when Irisviel heard Saber's answer, she had already disappeared in the meeting room, as if she didn't want to stay in the same room with Emiya Kiritsugu at all.

Saber turned into a gust of wind and galloped through the jungle, the depression in her heart became heavier and heavier.If it was just a duel with Leviathan, of course she readily agreed. Even if her left hand was injured, the King of Knights was confident that she would be able to get rid of the shame of last night.

But now, she only had anger in her heart, and Artoria Pendragon, who admired honor and was righteous, would never allow herself to do such a despicable act.

Saber knew that her thoughts were very selfish and willful, and it might be easier to obtain the Holy Grail according to the Master's course of action.However, she must duel with Lancer Diarmuid Audina in an upright manner. This is the agreement and the bottom line

Chapter 21 Uninvited Guest

"Meet you again, Saber."

Seeing the ugly face of the knight girl, Li Wei knew that she and Emiya Kiritsugu had conflicts.As for the reason, he can also guess that it is nothing more than some conflicts in the code of conduct, but this also leaves him with the opportunity to worsen the relationship between the two of them.

"I came to the duel due to the appointment last night, please don't hold back this time."

Saber looked at Li Wei firmly, as if telling him that she didn't bother to use those dirty tricks.

"Okay, as expected of the King of Knights, I look forward to your fiasco."

Li Wei grinned, and nodded to signal the Star Family to attack. Anyway, when the opponent couldn't hold on anymore, Lancer would jump out and intervene.Then I might as well take the opportunity to brush up the favorability first, and it will not affect his follow-up plan.

Saber, who has had a good rest, benefited from her high-level magic power release, and her physical fitness in battle is much higher than when she was traveling in the countryside, and even the armor on her body is harder.

But after seeing the high-speed growth characteristics of the invisible monster, she is not so stupid as to take the initiative to exchange injuries with the opponent.

Facing the dense tentacle attack of the Star Family, Saber reacted extremely quickly to bounce it away with her weapon, but she couldn't rely on the sharpness of the Sword of Oath of Victory to cut through the huge steel-casting sword while holding it with one hand. limbs.

The King of Knights didn't wait for the monster to reveal its flaws, but took the initiative to attack quickly. As mentioned before, she couldn't play tricks in battle.If no other Servants are attracted, the knight girl will choose to fight Li Wei until the winner is determined.

And even if their battle really attracted the enemy, Saber would never allow herself to attack the opponent from behind, but would openly announce that she and Leviathan had reached a covenant, and then fight the incoming person head-on.

clang clang-

The sound of iron-like metal collisions echoed in the misty forest, and every slash of the long sword would spark a spark in the air.As the knight girl kept dodging and moving, the nearby trees would be damaged or even crushed to varying degrees.

"Invisible monster..."

Irisviel, who was far away in Einzbern Castle, observed the crystal ball, and this word came to her mind.

Last night, the street lamps could not be illuminated due to landslides. She did not see clearly what method Leviathan used, only that he controlled a powerful familiar.Now through the bird's-eye view of clairvoyance magic, she can finally clearly see the situation on the battlefield.

"Ai Li, can you use other detection magic to see the monster's real body?"

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, and subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette, but then he remembered that his wife hated that smell, so he could only put his hand down again.

"It can't be done. The opponent seems to have an unobservable characteristic, unlike the invisibility caused by the refraction of light like the Wind King Barrier."

Irisviel shook her head, thankful that the other party was not her enemy, otherwise it would not be too easy for him to use this familiar to assassinate the Master.

Facing the continuous, wave after wave of attacks from the Star Family, Saber once again fell into the predicament of passive defense.Her several charges were easily resolved by the opponent by raising the flying height. Even if she could leap into the air, she couldn't resist the simultaneous attacks of the eight tentacles when she was stagnant in midair.It seems that after the fight last night, this monster has more combat experience.

At this moment, the whole scene fell into a stalemate, Li Wei didn't plan to do it himself, and Saber couldn't break through the siege of the tentacles.But if the fight continues like this, Saber will be dragged down before the enemy shows up.

"Kiritsugu, why don't we secretly disclose the plan to Leviathan? If he misunderstands, Saber will be in danger."

Irisviel, who was observing the battle situation through the crystal ball, was very anxious. She was very worried that Li Wei would misunderstand that they had rejected the invitation to form an alliance, and turned into anger and wanted to kill Saber.

"Leaving this aside, are there no signs of other Masters breaking into the forest?"

Emiya Kiritsugu's voice of questioning came from behind the white-haired wife. Obviously, this man didn't take the plight that Saber was facing at all in his heart.

Irisviel was extremely disappointed with her husband's attitude, but Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to ignore his wife's slightly sad expression, and just silently prepared weapons and ammunition.

After checking the origin bullet again, Emiya Kiritsugu inserted his magic attire - a magically modified Contender single-shot pistol into the gun pouch at his waist.

Irisviel knew it, and Emiya Kiritsugu would only bring this special single-shot magic gun when facing the most critical moment of battle.

"Maiya, take Ellie away from the castle, and run in the opposite direction from Saber."

Hearing Emiya Kiritsugu's order, Hisau Maiya nodded without hesitation, but Irisviel couldn't hide her inner wavering.

"Can't I...can't stay here?"

"The castle without Saber's protection has become unsafe. Someone should have the same idea as me, so this place will become very dangerous."

Emiya Kiritsugu explained to his wife while lowering his head to operate the computer to control the camera.

If he was on the invader side, he would also give up the Leviathan protected by the "Servant", and instead choose to snipe the magician who stayed alone in the workshop and lost the protection of Saber.

Irisviel felt very uneasy to be separated from her husband after meeting her not long ago, but staying by his side could only become a burden.

"..."

Irisviel thought calmly in her heart, and finally she realized the source of her uneasiness.Not because of parting with her husband, but because she wanted to act with Hisau Maiya.

Even if they were from the same camp, Irisviel couldn't get rid of her disgust for this woman.This is not because she is jealous, but because the white-haired wife has never liked such unscrupulous war hyenas, including Emiya Kiritsugu who has now turned back into a "magician killer".

Unfortunately, Irisviel would never disobey Emiya Kiritsugu's decision because of personal feelings.

"I see, uh..."

The moment she nodded in agreement, the familiar stabbing pain came from the magic circuit again, and another intruder broke into the Einzbern Forest.

"What's wrong? Ellie?"

"Kiritsugu... there should be another guest."

Irisviel held her still aching chest and replied with a wry smile
