No one knows King Arthur better than I do

Is there such a number one person in Heroic Spirit?

Emiya...

There is no such name in any legend!

What is the use of such a real name!

Thinking of this, Medea suddenly understood why her Master used such a method to replace herself as the Master just now...

In this way, even if all the real names are confessed, I can hide the situation on my side as much as possible.

Worthy of being a Master!

She thought she had understood Karl's thoughts, so Medea gave Karl a look right now.

After Karl noticed her eyes, he smiled and spoke directly to the people in front of him.

"I am the Caster of this Holy Grail War. Although it may be hard for you to believe, my real name is Hercules."

Ok?

The most puzzled is Hercules.

Your name is Hercules, what's my name?

Followed by Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura.

Hercules, Caster...

How could there be an idiot who summoned Hercules as Caster!

And... Hercules, why do you have the adaptability of Caster!

But even though they really wanted to complain, they both had learned the Federation's recognition magic, and they knew that the other party was not lying, and the two of them could only accept it at the moment.

And Karl smiled, and then introduced Hercules.

"The one next to me is also Hercules—after I descended as a Caster, I took advantage of the loophole in the rules of the Holy Grail War to make myself a Master."

"However, I originally planned to summon Berserker, but this position was snatched away first, so although it is hard for you to believe, he is the assassin in this Holy Grail War, Hercules."

amount……

Rin Tohsaka and Sakura felt a little blank in their brains for a while.

Carl's words contained too much information, so the two of them didn't even sort out the relationship for a while.

"Well, Mr. Hercules..."

Sakura seemed to be planning to ask something, but the moment the name Hercules was called, Carl and Hercules looked at her together. For a moment, Sakura looked left and right, and finally said in a low voice He said 'I'm sorry', and then lowered his head again.

Seeing the appearance of the two sisters of the Tohsaka family, Karl also sighed secretly in his heart for a moment.

This so-called new generation is completely inadequate in terms of psychological quality at least!

This girl Rin was brought up by Zellich, she must have been taught badly by this old thing!

Sakura is Morgan's disciple... Well, it is said that Kama raised her, it must be that Kama spoiled her too much!

Sakura didn't know what to say for a while, and Rin was pressing her temple with one hand, sorting out the other party's situation, so at this moment, Medusa finally spoke.

"I am Rider in this Holy Grail War, and my real name is Medusa——Mr. Can you ask Caster?"

"absolutely okay."

Karl nodded with a smile, and after Medusa saw that Sakura and Rin had sorted out the situation, she, a heroic spirit who didn't want to say anything, could only speak helplessly.

"Then can I ask what kind of agreement you have reached with Sakura's teacher, and why do you need the Holy Grail? Medea...and Hercules."

To be honest, Medusa is not at all interested in others seeking the power of the Holy Grail.

Even if there is no accident, her role should be the same as that of Emiya, a cold, taciturn guy who can only carry out orders.

But her Master is still a little confused now, so she can only ask questions about things she is curious about.

"of course can."

Following Karl's response, this time not only the people from Tohsaka's side, but even Emiya, Medea and Hercules' eyes fell on Karl.

They were also curious about Carl's purpose.

Carl just smiled at this, very calmly, spread his hands without any concealment, and then spoke.

"Just like fishing requires bait, things like the Holy Grail are useless to us, but since the fish we fancy like it, the Holy Grail is of course the bait we need."

"It's that simple."

★

Gilgamesh originally planned to find Tohsaka in one go while everyone was there.

After all, he, a bystander, watched these guys form alliances with each other, which was a little too boring.

This is not the show he wants.

But before he was about to come to the door, he was stopped by someone.

"Jill, long time no see."

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to stop Gilgamesh. Even if you block his way, he will not stop and say nothing, and will kill you.

But it is the only exception in this world.

The exception is enough to make Gilgamesh stop after seeing it, even a little dazed.

The exception is Gilgamesh, the most precious and most important treasure of the Oldest King who possessed the King's Treasure.

His only true friend...

"Enkidu...Although this king also thinks the possibility is unlikely, but...it's been a long time, Enkidu."

Gilgamesh couldn't believe the existence in front of him.

Because all the seven known heroic spirits were summoned in this Holy Grail War, and he was left over from the last Holy Grail War, so he also knew that no one summoned Enkidu even in the last Holy Grail War.

But he couldn't be wrong.

Especially when looking at his best friend, Gilgamesh will not be wrong.

The one in front of him was indeed Enkidu.

and so.

Gilgamesh's body was shining with golden light, and the golden armor directly covered his body. His previous posture of a modern youth was swept away, and replaced by a golden king full of joy.

"Hahahahaha..."

Gilgamesh spread his hands, golden ripples appeared behind him, and countless treasures from the King's Treasure revealed his end. Gilgamesh also smiled and looked at Enkidu, who was also ready for battle .

"This king is so happy——Enkidu!"

Countless treasures were projected directly, and a pair of chains also fell out of Enkidu's sleeve.

This duel belongs to this pair of old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's about to start!

……

12. Gauntlet

"Master, when we were talking with the people here last night, it seemed that something quite extraordinary happened."

Medea found Karl early in the morning, and now Karl was lying on the bed in the room arranged for him by Tohsaka, and pressed the switch of the TV in front of him with one hand.

He didn't answer Medea's question, but the content on the TV was what Medea was saying.

The morning news of Fuyuki City was broadcast on the TV.

On the other end of the screen, the downtown of Fuyuki City has turned into a bottomless crater—it looks like a meteorite fell in the very center of Fuyuki City last night.

"According to our station's investigation and reporter's interview, we learned that the same gas explosion occurred in Fuyuki City last night as it was ten years ago..."

Hearing this explanation, Carl curled his lips, and then chased and pressed the TV screen.

Then he lazily got up from the bed, continued to stare at the reflection of himself on the TV that had been turned off, and responded to Medea's question incidentally.

"You're talking about the so-called gas explosion incident..."

Carl almost laughed out loud when he saw the news that it was a gas explosion.

It's okay that the gas explosion created a crater in the city center... Are you implying that Fuyuki City is actually filled with gas tanks?

"Yes, Master..."

As soon as Medea opened her mouth, Karl interrupted her.

"Don't call me Master here, just call me Caster or Hercules..."

Carl said so and turned to look at Medea.

With his back facing the morning light outside the window, he slowly revealed a smile that merged with the sunlight.

"Master~"

Originally, Medea still had some ideas about what Karl said, but after hearing Karl call her Master, Medea's face hidden under the hood turned red.

"……Say it again."

Medea lowered her voice and subconsciously said such words.

Although Karl heard it, he tilted his head as if he didn't hear it.

Ok?

"No no no...Master, no...it's Caster—what happened last night is definitely not a simple matter. I went to that location to investigate earlier, judging from the reaction of the remaining magic power , I'm pretty sure there were two extremely powerful heroic spirits fighting in that position last night..."

Medea's words ended here.

But Karl knew exactly what she meant.

Because there is a limit to the number of Heroic Spirits that can be summoned during the Holy Grail War.

There are seven in total.

Then after Berserker was confirmed to leave the field, the only ones left were their own people.

Archer and Rider were with them last night, and it wasn't their doing.

Then there are only two Heroic Spirits left.

If the method of elimination is used to calculate, then this big hole can only be made by Lancer and Saber.

But Medea was not sure about this either.

After all, she has met Saber and Lancer before. Although those two guys are very strong, they want to create such an area of ​​destruction...

Maybe the invisible Saber can do it, but the blue spearman probably can't.

Or is it possible that Lancer is out?

Medea is still struggling with these issues, but Karl is not struggling at all, let alone doubting anything.

Medea is a heroic spirit summoned by the rules of the Holy Grail War, so it is not a problem for her thoughts to be confined within the scope of the Holy Grail War.

and so.

Medea never thought about such a problem from the beginning.

—That is, no one stipulated that Heroic Spirits could only be summoned by participants in the Holy Grail War.

And the purpose of the other party is not necessarily to participate in or destroy this grand ceremony.

At least as far as Carl knew, if Solomon wanted to, he would definitely be able to summon additional heroic spirits... If Solomon can do this, others can naturally do it too...

If the king of all things is one, he can certainly do it if he wants to.

But Karl didn't explain to Medea either.

He even followed Medea's thoughts.

"Since this is the case, Master, later on you will directly declare war on the remaining party that is based at the Emiya residence."

Hearing what Karl said, Medea froze for a moment.

But Karl didn't explain more, but simply added a sentence.

"By the way, don't forget that Tohsaka's right now supports us—so remember to declare war on them in the name of the Federation when declaring war~"
