black Knight

Although I think it's not bad for the two of them to live a carefree life like this, but there are often some sudden things that make people have to return to reality.

On the afternoon of the third day, Alicia collapsed without warning.Although she was still conscious, the great pain made it difficult for her to control herself.

She thought it had nothing to do with Diarmuid, just slow down, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't speak.

This is really... terribly bad.

"Master? Master!?" Alicia slowly closed her eyes amidst Diarmuid's anxious call.She wanted to respond to him, but her body was out of control.

"Alicia—" the black-haired man called out the girl's name in a panic, but unfortunately the girl in his arms was already in a coma, so he didn't hear his 'unruly' address. Lift the couch to pick up the latest chapter.

After a while, Diarmuid calmed down again.Although he didn't know what happened to Alicia, in this case, he could only take her to the hospital.

The handsome and tall man hung Alicia's backpack on his shoulders, then picked up Alicia and rushed towards the city quickly. Under his full speed sprint, he reached the edge of the forest in a short time.

And at this moment, a weird old man in a weird black robe appeared on the road ahead without a sound.

It was an old man full of "weirdness" all over his body, his eyes were covered with black cloth, and he was holding a cane in his hand that looked like a withered bird's head was embedded as a decoration.

The old man's black robe looked rather bloated, but he didn't make any sound when he walked.

Instead, Diarmuid held Alicia with one hand and the blood-red spear with the other. As long as the opponent made a slight movement, he would immediately kill him—no matter who he was or not. malicious.

"Although it seems that you should no longer be called a heroic spirit in your current state, for the sake of convenience, I will still call you that."

The old man revealed the identity of Diarmuid in one go,

"Your master's current situation is useless to send to the hospital. Although it is reflected in the body, she actually has a problem with the magic circuit. This is beyond the scope of the doctor's treatment. Compared with going to the hospital, she needs rest now. ...and a lot of food, when she wakes up, she will probably be hungry for a long time."

"However, if she is left alone, sooner or later she will not be able to bear the load brought by the magic circuit, and eventually her body will collapse and die."

"Who are you?" Diarmuid did not relax his vigilance because of the other party's words. On the contrary, he kept pointing the gun at the other party's neck.

"Me?" The old man let out a weird laugh, "I am now called Talbo the Gold Carver, but I used to be called... the alchemist, Talbo."

"Don't be so nervous, Heroic Spirit. I have no malice towards you. On the contrary, I sincerely hope that your master can recover. After all, her power is unique in this world."

"Let's make an agreement, Heroic Spirit." The old man's voice was lowered like a devil's whisper, even though he knew the danger, he still couldn't refuse, "I can tell you the way to save your master, but you have to help me... "

Alicia, who fell into a coma, knew nothing about the agreement between the old man and Diarmuid. She didn't even know that during her coma, they had crossed half the world from Europe to the place of the Holy Grail in Japan, Fuyuki. city.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a dark room.The curtains were tightly covering the window, and no light came in. Alicia subconsciously stretched her hand to her lower back, and felt relieved when her fingertips touched the familiar cold touch.

She fumbled to turn on the desk lamp, letting the light illuminate the room.

Alicia lifted the quilt and got out of bed, carefully groping the entire room.

This is a very simple room, except for the necessary furniture, there is no additional decoration, so it is impossible to judge where you are now through the decorations.

While Alicia was still looking around, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside.

"Good evening, master." The black-haired man walked in with a plate of steaming food, "Are you feeling alright?"

"Diarmuid?" Alicia's mind was still a little confused, but seeing her servant still made her heart calm down.

However, the result of being relieved is... She felt very hungry, and after smelling the aroma of food, she felt that she could almost eat an elephant.

In front of appetite, everything must stand back.Therefore, she didn't think about the current problem until Alicia was full.

"Where are we now?"

"Japan...Fuyuki City." The black-haired hero hesitated for a moment, but still gave the answer.

After a brief silence, it was Alicia who raised her voice and screamed.

"What!????"

"Fuyuki City in Japan is the same as the cheating war... no, the Fuyuki City where the Holy Grail War took place!?" Alicia even knocked over the dishes in a rage, and the porcelain dishes fell to the ground. After a crisp sound into pieces.

"Who told you to come here, who told you to act on your own regardless of the owner's wishes, Diarmuid Odina!" Alicia called him by name for the first time, "I have already said that I I don’t want to participate in the Holy Grail War anymore——do you really want to participate in the Holy Grail War...you want to fight so much!?”

"Absolutely not." The black-haired Heroic Spirit knelt down on one knee, and although the other party's words pierced into his heart like a sharp knife, he did not show any sign of wavering, "My wish in this life is to serve you alone...but With your current physical condition, if you don't take the Holy Grail, you may only have one or two years of life left."

"Even if I only have one or two years left to live, I don't want to grab Lao Shizi's Holy Grail for the one-in-a-million chance! If I die now, I won't even have a chance to live for a year or two!"

"Master." Facing Alicia's roar, the black-haired Heroic Spirit just straightened his back and looked at the white-haired girl sitting on the bed with sad eyes, "Please don't let me watch your life dying, But nothing can be done.”

"Please do not do this."

"And such a Holy Grail... I will never entrust my wish to such a Holy Grail!"

"Master, I—" the black-haired heroic spirit was interrupted by Alicia's hand before he could finish speaking.

"Stop talking, Diarmuid." Alicia, who was sitting on the bed, lowered her head, her expression covered by her drooping white hair, "Now go out and leave me alone for a while."

"...Yes." The black-haired Heroic Spirit stooped to pick up the debris on the floor, and silently exited the room.

Alicia lay back on the bed and pulled the covers up to cover herself from head to toe.

She doesn't want that either.

But the fear of death, the disgust of the Holy Grail War, and Diarmuid's attack all overwhelmed her, causing her to lose her temper on him uncontrollably.

Although she also knew that the only way to fight for the chance of survival was to participate in the Holy Grail War.

She really hates herself like this.

When Alicia was irritated and covered herself in the quilt, Diarmuid was sitting at the door of her room dejectedly.

He knew that his self-assertion would definitely make Alicia furious, but...he had to do it.

He is already a person who passed away, and being able to come to this world again, regardless of the length of time, is a kind of gift, even if he dies in battle, it will not be a pity.

But Alicia is different, she is alive, she deserves a future and enjoys life.

It shouldn't have just died like this...an early death.

His wish was never the Holy Grail, he just wanted to serve the monarch well.

The people inside the house and the people outside the house are sad respectively, a thin door separates the two people, and also separates the warmth of the past.

This night, no one fell asleep.

Alicia didn't finally fall asleep until dawn, but because of something on her mind, she only woke up after a short sleep.

Although Diarmuid's behavior of coming to Fuyuki City on his own initiative while he was in a coma is still very angry, but now is not the time to settle accounts with him.

The first thing she thought about was how to kill the other contestants and get the holy grail of Lao Shizi.

Even if she doesn't care about her wish, but just to survive, she still has to find a way to kill other people.

Opening her eyes, Alicia braided her hair into a braid and put it behind her head, so that there would be no tragedy of being pulled by the enemy.

Although it is white, she still likes her hair and doesn't want them to be damaged because of this.

Rising from the bed, Alicia adjusted her dress.It's a pity that Fuyuki City is currently in winter, and her clothes are short and cannot be adjusted to the corresponding season's style.

But anyway, clothes have a certain heat preservation effect, and short styles are not affected.

She adjusted her clothes to the one she had participated in in the Holy Grail War, and saw the somewhat unfamiliar style from the vanity mirror.She pulled out a forced smile.

She really didn't expect that there would be a day when she would wear it again.

Alicia rubbed her cheeks, trying to relax a bit.

But after rubbing it a few times, she found that it had little effect—she still had a sinister smile.

The Holy Grail War is like the sword of Damocles hanging above her head, and it may fall down at any time to end her life.

Alicia gave up the idea of ​​relaxing herself, turned and walked out of the room.

There was no one in the corridor, only Alicia could be heard stepping on the wooden floor and making a low thud.

After washing up, Alicia walked down the second floor.Diarmuid had already prepared breakfast as usual, and everything was the same as before, but in Alicia's eyes, it always seemed that something was missing.

"Good morning, Master." The black-haired Heroic Spirit said softly to Alicia, but there was no usual relaxed smile on his face.

"Good morning... lan... Diarmuid."

Although according to common sense, she should be called Diarmuid's rank, but she is really not reconciled to the previous memory becoming a memory and no longer appearing.

"Good morning." Hearing Alicia's address, Diarmuid smiled slightly as if he was relieved.
