The Undying Death Knight failed to achieve the ending of the Heroic Spirit

"Logically, it should be the priests who are appointed, but as the priests of the Holy Grail ceremony, the previous two priests were my father and grandfather, and they both died in the Holy Grail War ten years ago."

Illya poked Menechel's head gently with her finger, scolding him for having so many enemies in Dongmu.

"So Einzbern, are you coming to the church to seek refuge?" Kallen shifted her gaze to the servant under Illya. Judging from the reaction of the magic, it seemed a little... weak?

"Berserker will protect me," Illya retorted immediately.

Berserker... The cold expression on Kallen's face froze, and she turned her head to look at Menachere carefully.

She really didn't expect that there would be a berserker with such mediocre attributes.

Kallen's eyes moved, but she suddenly found that the servant who had been silent like a stone pillar with his head down in front of her raised his head.

Kallen smiled and spoke, using honorifics as usual: "Then Einzbern, if you are not seeking asylum, why are you in the church? You should know that the church is a neutral zone."

"When the Holy Grail War officially begins, the Church is an absolutely neutral zone. Any Master who enters the Church will give up the qualification to fight for the Holy Grail - but that is only limited to the official start."

Kallen was stunned, and she understood what Illya meant.

"Gathering intelligence?"

Kallen showed an understanding expression and said without hesitation: "Then I have nothing to say. After all, Saber and Archer have not been summoned yet."

Just as Illya was about to speak, Berserker's voice suddenly came from the causal line.

'Nun has a problem, leave.'

Illya swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and her expression became dignified: "In this case, I will not bother you any more. Let's go, Berserker."

Menechel put an arm around Illya's waist and placed her back on his shoulders.

"Please."

Karen had no intention of stopping him. She turned her back and continued to recite the unfinished prayer of the day.

The wooden door made a dull sound, and Kallen's voice reciting the blessing also stopped at the same time.

"Assassin."

Kallen suddenly muttered in her heart, and a wisp of black smoke twisted and emerged from behind her.

"Servant of the Einzbern family, do you see what's wrong?"

"From the perspective of the magic reaction, it's nothing special, but the posture doesn't look like he has lost his mind."

Kallen didn't comment. She touched the small cross pendant hanging around her neck and narrowed her eyes gently: "Is it Berserker or another Servant disguised as Berserker?"

Right now, she planned to urge the head of the Tousaka family to summon servants. Filling in the blank job categories would avoid a series of unnecessary guesses.

She picked up the telephone and dialed the Toosaka family number, but the receiver rang several times but no one answered.

Kallen's relaxed expression gradually froze until the call was transferred to the voicemail function.

Kallen remembered that today was a weekday and the head of the Tousaka family was still in school.

……

As soon as they left the area where the church was, Illya couldn't help but speak:

"Berserker, what's wrong with her?"

"That nun was wearing gloves on her hands. If she was also a magician, she might have been chosen as the 'Master'. I don't have any evidence to prove it, but I won't put you at risk."

I have a headache, it seems like I have a bad cold, I will take a day off tomorrow

Chapter 297 The Night Before

2023-07-29

The glow of the street lamp flickered and receded as they walked forward, causing the light and shadow on the two people's faces to change.

Although she said she didn't care, after leaving the church, Illya still couldn't help but go to Hokunhara Academy again. However, the empty campus was already deserted, with only the dripping sound of the faucet that was not closed tightly.

Menechel turned on the faucet to stop the noisy sound, and Illya pursed her lips, looking very unhappy.

If you think about it carefully, how could any school allow students to stay on campus after the sun sets?

"Are you going to Emiya Mansion?"

Illya shook her head to reject Menechel's proposal. She replied in a muffled voice, "No, the Holy Grail War hasn't started yet."

In fact, she was just unwilling to fulfill her duties so early. She couldn't help but feel a little greedy and wanted to live as "Illya" for even one more day.

"I'm hungry, let's go back."

Scatter the familiars to every corner of the surroundings to ensure that he can always check the traces of Emiya Shiro.

After doing all this, Illya looked at Menechel, and Menechel would agree. He put Illya on his shoulders and let the girl ride on his neck.

"Go back?"

"I don't want to go back, Sela, she definitely didn't cook our dinner." Ilya took off the hat on Minechelle's head, and put her face on top of Minechelle's head, the furry touch from her chin made the girl Squinting her eyes happily, she said with a little excitement: "Let's go to a Chinese restaurant, I want to try it."

"Want to pay?"

"Not good." Illya poked Menechel's forehead with the brim of her hat. "I'll make it up. I'll have Sera come over to make it up tomorrow morning!"

Menechel let her make trouble on his head, and the light from the street lamp stretched the overlapping shadows of the two very long.

"Also, when you go back, don't tell Sera that I don't want to eat the food she cooks."

Illya seemed to have suddenly thought of something and added.

"That maid of yours still doesn't know I can talk."

“Hmm.” Illya frowned pretentiously, but her upturned tone betrayed her joy: “Then you can act like a normal Berserker and talk to me alone until the Holy Grail War is over.”

"what?"

"If you want to say [yes], say [yes] now!"

Illya tightly grasped the short horns on Menechel's head and forced him to make a promise.

"But once the Holy Grail War ceremony begins, I will not be able to guarantee your safety in this state."

"Isn't it enough to transform during the battle?" Ilya activated her magic power, and bright red lines appeared on her exposed skin immediately.She said in a ostentatious tone: "It's just charging with Command Spells, I have a lot of reserves here."

This is the Command Seal that Einzbern had planted in Illya's body in advance, and it is also the real trump card that makes them confident of winning the Holy Grail War.

Even the weakest servant can achieve something with the blessing of such huge magical power.

"But in case it's Assassin..."

"Even when you went berserk, I was still the one in charge of reconnaissance. Even I couldn't detect the enemy approaching, let alone you at that time."

Menechel was left speechless. He frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't find any words to refute. However, he felt vaguely convinced.

"If you feel any danger, you must use the Command Spell immediately, even if it is an illusion." He warned again, but all he got was Illya's impatient response. The girl deliberately prolonged her tone to express her dissatisfaction.

She leaned her head on Menechel's head, but the corners of her mouth were honestly raised.

She preferred the Berserker who chattered so gently, rather than the black beast that murmured "Avril".

It's nice to have a follower...

"Berserker, you must seize the Holy Grail."

"Ah."

She happily enjoyed the scene before her. At this moment, she didn't have to pretend to be an adult, as if her mother and Kiritsugu were still by her side.

——Until I came to my senses:

"Berserker, where have you taken me again?!"

……

The melted gemstones are dripped into the center of the carefully crafted ritual. Only the famous Tousaka family in Toki can afford such a luxurious ceremony. However, even as the current head of the Tousaka family who performs the ceremony, Tousaka Rin's heart is bleeding like the drops of gemstones.

The previous head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokiomi, died in the last Holy Grail ceremony when she was only seven years old, and her mother became seriously ill due to excessive grief, and died soon after learning of her father's death. Her father's trusted disciple, Kotomine Kirei, also died with his father in the fire of Toki. Over the years, the Tohsaka family has actually been in a state of living off its resources.

Participating in the Holy Grail War and seizing the Holy Grail according to the notes left by her father is the only feasible way that Toosaka Rin can think of to revive the family.

——If there were acquaintances who could help out, it wasn't impossible to find them. Kotomine Kirei's daughter had recently returned to Touki, and had even left a message on the phone reminding her that the ceremony was about to begin.

But thinking of the mocking tone of the white-haired woman on the phone, Toosaka Rin couldn't help but clench her fists a little.

"What are you talking about [If you don't have the courage, come to the church early and don't lose your life because of accidental injuries], who is this woman looking down on!"

The clock hanging on the wall had pointed to two o'clock in the middle of the night, and almost at the moment the second hand returned to zero, Toosaka Rin chanted the spell.

"It's full, it's full, it's full..."

The spell that he had memorized long ago was recited without any twists and turns.

Rin Toosaka took the Servant summoning very seriously. She had seen the fight between Servants when she was a child, and it was a scene she would never forget. The white knight descended from the sky, wielding a spear and saving her from the demonic tide in a few seconds. At that time, Rin Toosaka vaguely understood the power of Servants.

To obtain the Holy Grail, it was essential to have a powerful Servant. For this reason, she had delayed until today, just for this moment - at the early morning of Saturday, her magic wavelength reached its peak.

As she chanted the spell, the technique under her feet emitted a brilliant red halo, which expanded outward, almost enveloping Toosaka Rin.

At that time, she even turned to the servant who was like the Knight of Justice in the story for help, asking him to help her father. It seems ridiculous now.

It was Lancer at that time who defeated his father.

"Cross the Wheel of Suppression, Guardian of the Two Scales!"

As the last spell fell, the red halo that was extremely strong suddenly disappeared in the next moment.

"Great, it must be Saber!"

As if to give herself courage, Toosaka Rin suddenly celebrated before opening her eyes, but when she saw everything clearly in front of her, her heart sank.

There was no one else in the basement besides Toosaka Rin, which was in chaos due to the violent turbulence of magic power.

She glanced at the wall clock and suddenly remembered that all the clocks in the house were one hour fast yesterday morning.

——So it’s 1 a.m. on Saturday?

"Aaaaah! Because of that woman Kallen, I completely forgot about this!"

Toosaka Rin squatted on the ground with her head in her hands in pain, but before she could vent her emotions, there was suddenly a loud noise from upstairs.

Tohsaka Rin hurried upstairs, and she saw the red-clothed and white-haired servant sitting in a wild posture... on the sofa with his legs upturned?

Toosaka Rin felt a vague connection between herself and the other person, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart. Regardless of the chaos in the living room, Toosaka Rin said anxiously: "Are you my servant, Saber?"

The man in red glanced at Toosaka Rin, lowered his head and sneered disdainfully: "Whether I am your Servant or not is another matter, but my job is Archer."

...It's Archer...

Toosaka Rin's body swayed, as if her soul had left her body - she had completely messed up.

The unfortunate journey between her and the Servant of Destiny begins now.

The patient is feeling better now, update

Chapter 298 Farsaka

2023-07-29

As the sun sets, the school bell rings.

Toosaka Rin yawned. She stood in the corridor of the Archery Club, looking ahead with her fox eyes dully.

Because of summoning servants last night, she only slept for less than six hours and was almost late in the morning. Logically, she should go home before the sun sets to recuperate and prepare for the Servant battle that might take place at night.

But some trivial matters held her back.

In fact, from the moment she stepped into the campus this morning, Toosaka Rin had already sensed something unusual. There were so many abnormal magical reactions sensed by Toosaka Rin in the old tree near the campus gate, in the drinking trough next to the cafeteria, and in the green belt of the club building. She clearly did not notice anything unusual when school was over yesterday. It was obvious that a magician sneaked into the school last night when there was no one in the school, and left behind an exaggerated number of familiars.

"Are there any servants who want to fight in Hogunhara Academy?"

Toosaka Rin rubbed her swollen brows hard. She rejected her own guess. With the supervisor around, no one should dare to challenge the rules.

——So it was a conspiracy against her.

In the school, the only orthodox magician is Toosaka Rin, and anyone who knows the relationship between the Holy Grail and the Toosaka family will not be wary of her.

In order to prevent her painstakingly cultivated image of an elegant young lady as the "flower of the mountain" from being shattered by the search for a familiar, she delegated tasks such as climbing trees and digging green belts to Archer, who she had just summoned last night.
