Under the Root

"fine."

Irisviel seemed to be fooled by Li Lin's behavior just now, and answered Artoria's question with a blank expression on her lips.

"Damn it, I should have liberated the treasure just now and wiped out those bastards."

Artoria, who thought that Li Lin's molestation had caused a great psychological blow to Irisviel, raised her eyebrows angrily.Taking advantage of Irisviel in front of her, if she didn't have the duty of guardianship, she would have chased Li Lin to the ends of the earth.

"Ah, ah, I'm really fine, Saber."

And at this time, Irisviel, who had been wandering in the sky, finally came back to her senses. She quickly waved her hand, and then bouncing around in a circle to show that she was really intact.

"That's great."

Seeing that Irisviel was still full of vitality, Arturia breathed a sigh of relief. It was a blessing among misfortunes for the dereliction of duty knight not to be shadowed by that erotic maniac.

"Hey, Artoria, you will win this Holy Grail War for Kiritsugu."

However, Irisviel's abrupt words made Artoria's heart hang again.

"Please rest assured, Irisviel, this time was just an accident. I swear on the honor of the knight that this kind of thing will never happen again."

The knight who thought that his negligence caused the princess to have a crisis of confidence quickly patted his chest to reassure her, and she was so anxious that she almost took out her heart and showed it to Irisviel.

"Believe you, Saber, I just saw the battle between you and Lancer, as a swordsman, you are indeed the strongest Heroic Spirit."

Irisviel smiled and comforted her knight.

"However, can Saber grant me a request?"

"what?"

"After Kiritsugu won the Holy Grail War, can you take care of my daughter for me?" Irisviel said jokingly.

"Uh huh, Irisviel, stop joking at this time, and scare me." Arturia said angrily, "After the Holy Grail War is over, I will fulfill my wish to change England, and then I will I'm heading to the Throne of Heroes. And Illya has you, Kiritsugu who has fulfilled her wish, and the Einzbern family looking after her, so she doesn't need me anyway."

"Well, that's such a pity, I'm really sad to part with Saber in just a few days."

Irisviel passed the topic without a trace, and said playfully, "When you arrive at the Throne of Heroes, remember to send me special products by mail."

"Irisviel." Artoria sighed helplessly, "Please leave quickly, Kiritsugu is still waiting for us."

"Ah, okay." Irisviel ran to the parking lot as if she had suddenly realized.

Suddenly, halfway through the run, she turned around and clasped her hands together and begged Artoria, "By the way, Saber, don't let Kiritsugu know about this, please."

"It's me who should be thanking you, Ellie." Arturia agreed with a smile.

At the point where Fuyuki City connects with Fuyuki Airport, the long national highway stretches eastward with its back facing the lights of the city.Waiting for visitors on both sides of the road is an undeveloped forest.Along this road across the county, the national road winds quietly ahead.

Although it is a highway with two-way lanes, there are almost no signs of oncoming cars on the national highway with sparse street lights.The national highway under the setting sun seems to be forgotten in this silence.

In such silence, a stalwart figure with two guns stood on the ground in the middle of the national road.

The "peerless" chief warrior of the Irish Fiona Knights——"The Shining Face" Diarmuid Audi is the name of this figure.

"Lancer, how's the status?" Kenneth's calm voice sounded in Diarmuid's ear along the communication magic.

"No problem, my lord." Feeling the magic power surging from his body, Diarmuid smiled confidently, "Now I am in the best condition."

"Then, Lancer will confirm again."

"According to information from His Excellency Li Lin's lover Shajo Aige. The enemy ahead is the Einzbern participant, the master is a female artificial human, the servant is the saber-class servant King Arthur, and the treasure is the holy sword Excalibur, the sword Wrapped in an unknown sheath, it cannot be observed by the naked eye. The sword is three feet long and four inches wide." Diarmuid followed the order of the lord and repeated the information he had learned, and then he could not wait to smile on his face. "An ideal opponent, King Arthur."

"I don't care about your chivalry, Lancer."

But obviously, Kenneth has no interest in Diarmuid's chivalry, or his eyes are all focused on Li Lin's ability to obtain such information in such a short period of time.

"Li Lin has provided us with such detailed information about the enemy. If you don't achieve anything, the honor of the El-Melloi family will be tarnished. You know what to do."

"My lord, in the name of the chief knight of the Ona Knights, I will present the head of the enemy before you."

At this time, a beast-like majestic sound came from the distance of the national road, it was the roar of the parallel six-cylinder engines of the Mercedes-Benz 300SL.

"I look forward to your performance." Kenneth ended the communication with this sentence.

----

It started. Hearing the distant roar getting closer, Diarmuid silently released the magic power on his body as a signal to invite the battle.

"I'm here." He conveyed such a message clearly and unmistakably.

The faint light of the setting sun could not hinder Diarmuid's sight at all. With his extraordinary eyesight, he got his wish and saw an ancient car with a streamlined body full of elegance braking rapidly on the asphalt road. He could even clearly see the white smoke coming out of the tires due to sudden braking.

Then, from the car door, he saw a blond-haired girl and a silver-haired lady stepping out of the car.

Although the face of the enemy had been known for a long time, he was slightly surprised to think that King Arthur was such a petite girl in the legend.

Thinking of this, Diarmuid's eyes were fixed on Artoria's figure, obviously he did not despise his enemy because of this.

Against the background of the setting sun, Guanghui slowly raised his gun-holding hands, pointed at the figure protecting the silver-haired woman behind him, and showed a smile that only appears when a hunter hunts ferocious beasts.

"I am a lancer, and I am here to take your life, so are you ready to die? King Arthur?"
