They're supposed to be heroes from mythology; it wouldn't be right to simply refuse something that belongs to them.
"Saber, it's up to you now."
"Huh? Should I do it?" Saber asked, bewildered.
"Why not?"
“But… I don’t want to take advantage of someone in distress…” Saber replied softly.
"So you don't want to win? Or are you just treating the Holy Grail War like a game, treating your own wishes like a game? Taking advantage of someone's misfortune? Don't you have that kind of awareness?"
"I......"
"Time, don't go so far," Irisviel said, speaking up for Saber.
"Whose side are you on?" Shi Chen glared at her, annoyed.
"Of course I'm on your side, but Saber is just a girl. Isn't this too cruel to her?"
"The Holy Grail War is no game to be played, and Saber isn't a girl, she's King Arthur."
"That being said..."
"I see."
Saber suddenly interrupted Irisviel, took a deep breath, and drew her sword as she walked toward Lancer.
Shi Chen is right. She shouldn't have taken things for granted. She still had wishes she wanted to fulfill, and compared to those wishes, her chivalry was insignificant.
Watching Saber's retreating figure, Irisviel sighed and approached Shichen: "Did you have to push her so hard?"
Shi Chen raised his hand and wrapped it around Irisviel's soft waist: "This is just the beginning. We'll force her to do even more outrageous things later."
"Well......"
Irisviel glanced down at Shichen's large hand around her waist, suppressing her embarrassment, and continued, "Don't you like Saber? Why don't you help her?"
"There are some things that she has to do herself, otherwise nothing can be changed."
"is it?"
"Just listen to me." Shi Chen hugged her tightly.
"Oh...oh." Irisviel pursed her lips and remained silent.
Saber had already arrived in front of Lancer.
“To die at Saber’s hands? That’s not such a bad thing,” Lancer said, looking at Saber with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Lancer." Saber's expression was complicated, but she still raised her sword.
"Hehe~ Your Master is right, you seem to be a bit naive."
"..."
"Come on." Lancer said no more and closed his eyes.
Without hesitation, Saber gripped the hilt of his sword and slashed down vertically.
This time, there was no blood splattering; Lancer's figure simply vanished.
Saber sheathed his sword, remained silent for a moment, and then turned and walked towards Shichen and the others.
"Not bad, not bad." Shi Chen nodded approvingly.
"What do we do next?" Saber approached Shichen, but instead of answering him, she changed the subject and asked.
"Let's leave first. Your fight with Lancer was being watched by quite a few people. If I hadn't set up a barrier, we would have been disturbed."
"What? You can even set up barriers during the day?"
"What are you talking about? Don't normal magicians all know how to do that?"
"Right......"
Saber was so stunned by the power of the hour that she was a little confused, only thinking about how many abilities it had.
"However, let's deal with the worst of the troubles first."
"what?"
Shichen did not answer, but instead grabbed Saber's wrist with his free hand and disappeared with her and Irisviel.
In a secluded corner a little further from the battlefield between Saber and Lancer, a blond man gritted his teeth.
"Damn it! Lancer is so useless? He was taken down so easily?"
"Kenneth, Lancer is amazing, it's just that the magician is a bit strange..." The woman next to the man couldn't help but plead for Lancer.
"Shut up!" the man glared at her fiercely.
The woman was already attracted to Lancer because of the allure of his mole; the key point is that she was his fiancée, so it's no wonder he was angry.
"I......"
"Oh? They're arguing already?" Shichen, accompanied by Saber and the others, suddenly appeared in front of the two.
"What?" The man looked at Shichen in horror.
"How...how did you find me?"
"Please, your barrier is so obvious, how could I not notice it?"
“My barrier is obvious? How is that possible!” The man—Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald—was unwilling to believe it.
He is the head of the Archibald family, a brilliant and accomplished magician, and a first-class lecturer at the Clock Tower, the headquarters of the Magic Association that commands magicians worldwide. How could his magic have any flaws?
"That's just how it is." Shi Chen was too lazy to explain.
"Shichen, who is he?" Saber asked in confusion.
"Are you stupid? Lancer is dead, but his Master isn't." Shichen tapped her on the head.
"..." Saber didn't slap away Shichen's hand; she felt she had indeed acted a bit foolish today.
"Is he Lancer's Master?" Irisviel glanced at Kenneth, then her attention was drawn to the woman beside her.
"Then she is?"
"Lancer's magic must have been provided by this woman."
"So, Shichen, how did you know?" Irisviel looked at Shichen with shining eyes.
"Hmph~ What don't I know?"
"Haha~" Irisviel couldn't help but laugh.
"What exactly do you want?" Kenneth asked, annoyed. Shi Chen and his group didn't seem to take him seriously at all.
"What are you doing? Are you an idiot? What else can we do?" In Shichen's hand appeared the exorcising red rose (Gae Dearg).
Normally, Lancer would be ordered to commit suicide by this guy, but Shichen wanted to let this guy taste the gun.
"You're going to kill me?" Kenneth asked incredulously.
"You want to be friends with me without killing me?"
"Lancer is already dead, why kill me?"
"Are you really an idiot? You're the Master. Even if Lancer dies, it's not like you're completely unaffected."
This guy still has his Command Seals. If he gets the chance, he might kill other Masters and Servants and re-sign contracts with them.
However, that's not the main reason; Shichen simply doesn't like this guy.
"No, you can't! I'm the head of the Archibald family, a first-class lecturer at the Clock Tower! You can't..."
"Quack."
Shi Chen, too lazy to listen to his rambling, directly plunged the spear into his heart.
"Uh..." Kenneth died on the spot.
"Let's go." Shi Chen put away his gun without even glancing at it.
"What about that woman?" Irisviel asked.
"She doesn't have to worry about it."
Shichen led the two away.
Chapter 307 Growing Up
"Dad, you're back! Are you alright?"
"Brother, are you okay?"
As soon as Shi Chen returned to the hotel, Ilya and Shi Ying ran over and hugged his legs.
He let go of Irisviel and the others, knelt down, and hugged the two little girls: "I'm back~ Daddy's really strong, nothing happened to me~"
"I knew Dad was awesome."
"My brother is the best!"
The two little girls had some understanding of the Holy Grail War, and although they completely believed in the timing, they couldn't help but worry.
Being completely trusted is one thing, being worried about is another. Shi Chen happily hugged the two of them and rubbed his face against their smooth skin.
Kids are so lucky; their skin is as smooth as pudding.
"Hehe~"
The two little girls also liked Shichen like this, and smiled sweetly.
"Ilya, don't you care about your mother anymore?" Irisviel watched this scene with a smile, pretending to be jealous.
"Of course I care, but with Daddy here, Mommy will definitely be fine," Ilya replied.
"You're going to find all sorts of ways to praise your dad, aren't you?"
"How can that be..."
Saber remained silent, quietly watching the intimacy between Shichen and Ilya. His gentle demeanor was so different from just moments before.
It's just like two people.
