The Sixth Level of Academy City

So...has she always thought this way?

Artoria looked at Little Mo's face that was exactly like her own, and for some reason there was a flash of memory in her heart...

By the way, when I was a child, she and I seemed to... pulled Kai to run around, and even sneaked out of the castle with my father.

At that time, I was the same as Xiao Mo, right?

"Father! Why don't you understand?!"

Xiao Mo's cry made Artoria wake up from her memory, she smiled wryly, "Mordred... I, I understand."

"You follow the father... no, let's go alone. What I didn't get, let you experience it."

Arturia smiled slightly, and lightly stroked the dazed little Mo's cheek with her right hand, just like a real father looking at his daughter.

"You... what do you mean?!"

Xiao Mo immediately realized something was wrong, but when her body reacted, it was too late.

"Then... Farewell, father, Xiao Mo."

Arturia's right hand leaning against Xiao Mo's face became unreal, and Xiao Mo's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what happened before his eyes.

"No...impossible!" Xiao Mo rushed forward and wanted to hug Artoria, but she just missed it, and she passed through the gorgeous spirits.

She trembled and looked back at Artoria who had disappeared, her agate-like eyes lit up a little, and a line of tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Why... why did you stand there and watch for a long time! You didn't do anything!" Xiao Mo pointed at Luo Fangfang and said angrily, "Have you forgotten everything you owe her?!"

In fact, even Luo's side was somewhat unexpected. Arturia unilaterally cut off contact at that moment, and interrupted the supply of magic power. Moreover, she dissipated so quickly, she should have destroyed her spiritual core.

Does it look like she had such a plan in her mind a long time ago?Luo Fang sighed. The only thing he didn't expect was that Arturia would be so decisive. It seemed that in the end she planned to owe Xiao Mo all that she owed, and let Luo Fang make up for it all.

But how can it be so simple?Luo Yifang pointed his right hand towards Irisviel, and a golden scabbard was stripped from her body, floating quietly in front of Luo Yifang.

"Then, according to the previous agreement, it belongs to me."

Luo put away the Holy Grail and looked at the Irisviel family with a flat face. When he agreed to peel off the little Holy Grail for Irisviel, he asked them to take out the scabbard by the way.

"Naturally, Mr. Yifang." Emiya Kiritsugu responded.

"Very good," Luo Yifang threw another small magic stone to Emiya Kiritsugu, who reached out to catch the stone, "Illya is sleeping in the space inside, where time is completely suspended, When you settle down, you can meet Illya anytime."

Before Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu could say thanks, Xiao Mo suddenly overturned the table, and rushed to Luo Fang in two steps, his eyes were red, and he was about to grab Luo Fang's collar with a wave of his hands.

Luo Fang seemed to know that Xiao Mo would do this long ago, and he was caught by Xiao Mo without any precautions.

"You bastard!" Xiao Mo gritted his teeth and stared at Luo Fangfang, "She has been waiting for you all her life, but you let her, let her..."

The more angry the knight was, he clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on Luo Fang's face.

Luo Fang endured the punch without saying a word, and Xiao Mo was also taken aback. She thought that Luo Fang would defend and dodge, but she didn't expect Luo Fang to be silent.

"You, why don't you hide?!"

"If this punch can calm you down, there's no need for me to hide," Luo Fang said calmly, as if he wasn't the one being hit.

Luo Fang's reaction made Xiao Mo instantly dumbfounded. Even though she was extremely annoyed, she let go of Luo Fang's hand, but it was obvious that she hadn't fully understood why Luo Fang was so calm.

"Tch... What a little girl." Gilgamesh saw that Luo Fang was being beaten, and he didn't have any intention to stop him, but instead taunted Xiao Mo, "You should pay more attention next time, if it wasn't for him, he really deserved this punch , I’m afraid you won’t be able to walk out of this hall alive.”

A trace of killing intent flashed in her pupils—although she was also a little unhappy with Luo Fang, but only she could do the punishment with her own hands, so this time it was a wake-up call to Xiao Mo.

However, Xiao Mo didn't care about her at all, she just stared at Luo Fang and the scabbard in his hand, "Give me a reason."

"There's nothing to explain," Luo Fang held the scabbard in his hands, and the light from Avalon gradually subsided, "All of this was done on purpose."

"On purpose?!" Xiao Mo's voice suddenly raised a tone.

"That's right," Luo Fang ignored Xiao Mo's eyes that wanted to bite him to death, "Arturia is different from your situation, she is just a clone of a heroic spirit, she hasn't died yet, it's just a combination of restraint. A contract was signed."

"what?"

"If I take her away in the heroic spirit state, I just take away a projection, which is not the real her in a sense." Luo Fang turned his palm and pulled up the table that fell on the ground. And straightened the scattered utensils, he smiled wryly, "Do you really think I will let her go? I can completely interrupt the unilateral contract termination."

"Then you...wouldn't have said it earlier..." Xiao Mo's face flushed red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed because he punched Luo Fang without knowing the situation.

"You didn't even give me a chance to explain." Luo Fang shrugged nonchalantly, stepped forward and patted Xiao Mo on the head, "Okay, anyway, I really deserved that punch. It can completely change her fate."

"Then why don't you?"

"Because if it changes, there will be no you," Luo Fangfang gave Xiao Mo an unexpected answer, which made Xiao Mo feel chills.

"Okay, let's stop teasing you. I'm still going to catch that guy who sneaked away. Today's dinner is specially prepared for her. If she runs away, wouldn't it be a waste of all our hard work?"

After speaking, Luo Fang casually pulled open a dark crack, and disappeared without a trace.

In the banquet hall, it seemed to have returned to the previous relaxed state.

……

……

……

Artoria opened her eyes, the weakness and pain in her body made her thinking slow down, she stared blankly at the setting sun in the sky.

The setting sun was about to set, and the temperature between the sky and the earth began to drop. Artoria was wearing a thick armor skirt, but felt a bit of chill—she understood that it was not because of the change in temperature, but because her life was passing by with time. And slowly passing by.
