"I have to say, this cavity is really huge." As Abigail entered the cavity, she exclaimed as she looked at the enormous hole that seemed to have hollowed out the entire mountain.

At this moment, Madoka and Luvia have not yet arrived, but Rin Tohsaka and Miyu have. They are currently setting something up in the hollow. Illya is placed in the very center of the hollow.

"You guys got here pretty quickly. How's it going? Have you collected any cards yet?" Rin Tohsaka stood up and asked Abigail as she walked in.

"Sigh, I have to say we've had terrible luck. Both mirror spaces are just filled with unknown monsters, and there isn't a single Heroic Spirit present. Now we can only rely on Luvia and Madoka. By the way, how's the setup going?" Ruby floated in front of Rin Tohsaka and said.

"Really? Is it really just bad luck?"

Rin Tohsaka said something meaningful, and just then, the magic circuits on the ground suddenly lit up, and several energy-formed light ropes bound Abigail's body, making it seem difficult for her to break free.

"Yuanban, what's going on here?"

The sudden turn of events surprised Ruby, who asked Rin Tohsaka a question.

However, Rin Tohsaka did not answer Ruby's question immediately; instead, she walked up to Abigail.

"The rest of the cards are with you, Abigail."

Hearing Rin Tohsaka say this with such certainty, Abigail originally wanted to play innocent and keep up the act, but it seemed that wouldn't work now.

“I’m curious when you found out about this. I don’t think I gave anything away,” Abigail asked with a smile, as if she were not bound by any rules.

"It seems you've admitted it. Very well, then I won't waste any more words. Actually, you're right, you didn't make any major mistakes. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to detect your problem. Your previous fraudulent techniques were very sophisticated. You only provided a little bit of information for me to guess. In most cases, a normal person would imagine a mysterious and powerful organization. That's what I thought at first too."

However, after I verified this with Hachiman, he told me that there is no such organization as the magical girl organization you described in this world. So, from that moment on, I began to suspect you. But before that, you hadn't done anything harmful to us, so I didn't expose you. After all, I wanted to see whether you were friend or foe.

Only tonight did I finally discover your purpose; everything you did before was to obtain the Holy Grail.

Rin Tohsaka's words surprised Abigail. She hadn't expected Rin to already know she was being misled. However, what Abigail didn't understand was who this "Hachiman" Rin mentioned was, and why she trusted him so much. So Abigail immediately asked:

"I have a question. Who exactly is this 'Great Teacher' you mentioned? Aren't you worried that the information he provides you is wrong?"

"How could that be? Hachiman is known as the Jewel Mage. There's probably no organization in the world that can hide under his nose." Rin Tohsaka said confidently. Although her words sounded arrogant, Abigail had to admit that the Jewel Mage did indeed have that power.

The Jewel King, whose real name is Kyshua Zelrich Schbein'ogu, is one of only five magicians in the Type-Moon universe. His magic is known as Second Magic, which allows him to roam freely across multiple parallel worlds. Therefore, his presence in this world is not surprising. Moreover, due to his magic, there is only one of him in the countless Type-Moon parallel universes. Simply put, he's someone even Abigail can't handle right now.

"I never expected that old guy to be in this world. It's really beyond my expectations. Could it be that this world has become like this because of that old guy? But being defeated by that old guy is just my bad luck." Abigail muttered to herself. She now understood why Rin Tohsaka had handed over the ruby ​​to her so readily. Obviously, Rin Tohsaka had come here in advance to set a trap.

"Alright, tell me, where did you hide all the cards? I'll let you go once we complete this ritual and rescue Ilya."

“Before handing over the card, I have a question for you. Have you decided what you wish for? This is the Holy Grail, which can grant any wish,” Abigail asked with a smile.

"You don't need to worry about that. It's none of your business anyway, so hand over the card. If you don't, I'll find a way to make you hand it over. There's nothing a magician can't do, only things you can't imagine." Rin Tohsaka didn't seem to want to answer this question.

"Okay, if you really want the card, come and get it yourself, it's in my pocket."

After saying that, Abigail gave Rin Tohsaka a smile.

Chapter Sixty-One: The Bewitching Witch

Watching Abigail's behavior, Rin Tohsaka felt something was off. But she still wanted to get the card.

Rin Tohsaka cautiously approached Abigail and then took five cards from her pocket.

"Huh, Archer? When did you get it? Oh well, I guess I took it while Ilya was unconscious. But I didn't expect you to be so cooperative. I'm really not sure what you're up to."

Rin Tohsaka looked at the five cards in her hand with some surprise and said.

“Since things are already like this, why should I resist any longer? You’ll find me anyway, so I might as well just confess rather than suffer.” Abigail said casually.

"You're quite sensible. Since you're so sensible, I'll release you as soon as the ceremony is over."

Rin Tohsaka said, then turned and walked towards where Illya was.

And so, time passed slowly, and Madoka and Luvia arrived at the Great Hollow together.

"What's going on?" Luvia asked in surprise as she looked at the bound Abigail inside the Great Cavern.

"Abigail, what's going on? Why can't I untie this?" Xiaoyuan went straight to Abigail's side, trying to break the magic binding Abigail. However, at that moment, the magic circle activated again, binding Xiaoyuan as well.

“Kaname, I’m sorry, but I can’t let you release Abigail,” Rin Tohsaka said from the side.

"Rin Tohsaka, what exactly happened?" Luvia looked at Rin Tohsaka with a wary expression.

"What else could it be? This old lady wants to keep the Holy Grail all to herself," Abigail said casually.

"Shut up, Luvia. Listen to me, we were all fooled by this guy." Rin Tohsaka first scolded Abigail rudely before speaking to Luvia.

"What exactly happened, Rin Tohsaka?" Luvia remained vigilant, staring at Rin Tohsaka as she asked.

"Luvia, I don't think the two mirror spaces you encountered before had any cards."

Luvia nodded: "How did you know?"

“Because Abigail has already collected all the cards. Look.” With that, Rin Tohsaka took out the five cards she had received from Abigail.

"Are you serious?" Luvia asked, somewhat skeptical.

“Would I lie to you? Ruby and Miyu both saw it,” Rin Tohsaka continued.

"Miyu, is it true?" Luvia then asked Miyu, who was standing next to her.

"Yes, that's right," Miyu nodded and said.

"Honestly, I didn't expect Abigail to have secretly collected all the cards. It really surprised me," Ruby said, following Miyu's words.

"I never expected something like this to happen." Seeing Rin Tohsaka take out five cards, and with Miyu and Ruby confirming that what she said was true, Luvia relaxed her guard: "So why did she do this?"

"Of course, it's for the chance to make a wish with the Holy Grail." Before Rin could answer, Abigail replied first: "You know, the Holy Grail is the thing that holds the third magic, the Heaven's Grip. Through the Holy Grail, one can access the Root and learn the Heaven's Grip."

"What? Heaven's Feel? The Third Magic?" Rin Tohsaka and Luvia exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Abigail's words.

"Abi, what is Heaven's Feel?" Madoka asked, somewhat puzzled.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Abigail's lips curled up, and she continued to explain:

"The Heaven's Cup, if you want to explain it, you can think of it as the materialization of the spirit, turning itself into a perpetual motion machine, possessing an endless source of magic, and achieving true immortality in a positive sense, that is, if the spirit is immortal, the person is immortal."

"Wouldn't that be the same as a descending Heroic Spirit?" Rin Tohsaka concluded after hearing Abigail's explanation.

“That’s right, so the Holy Grail War requires the participation of Heroic Spirits. However, unlike Heroic Spirits, who must sign a contract with Gaia and are not truly free, once you learn the Heaven’s Grail, you become a completely free Heroic Spirit. How about that? Isn’t it tempting? You know, the Jewel Omnichua Zelrich Schbein Augu is the holder of the Second Magic. But even he isn’t truly immortal,” Abigail continued.

"To be compared to the Great Teacher is simply unbelievable!" Luvia said in great surprise.

“Impossible, Abigail. If it were really as you say, it’s impossible that no one has tried it.” Rin Tohsaka then raised her question.

“It’s just that they all failed. Do you think an opportunity like this is easy to come by? No need to fight, the Holy Grail is right in front of you, and the required Heroic Spirits are already there. You could say that this is the best opportunity pieced together by countless coincidences. But unfortunately, this kind of opportunity can only be possessed by one person. Alas, otherwise I would have told you about this long ago. Why did I have to do this in secret?” Abigail sighed and said.

“I see. It does match up somewhat with what Miyu told me before! Looks like you weren’t lying!” Rin Tohsaka said as she secretly approached Ruby.

However, at that moment, a blue magic bullet was fired at Rin Tohsaka.

"Lady Luvia, what are you doing?" Sapphire asked Rukia in surprise, who had just fired a magic bullet at Rin Tohsaka.

"Hehe, since I have such an opportunity, how could I possibly give it to Rin Tohsaka? The Third Magic Heaven's Cup, I, Luvia Celinta Edelfelt, the head of Edelfelt, am going to have it today."

"Luvia, it seems you and I share the same idea! Me too! Ruby, temporary contract!" Rin Tohsaka said with a cold laugh after dodging Luvia's attack.

"I don't care about your business. I'd better go check on Illya." However, Ruby completely ignored Rin Tohsaka's request and flew away on her own.

“Ruby! You…” Rin Tohsaka looked at Ruby in great surprise.

"Hahahaha! Rin Tohsaka, it seems this victory is mine, hahahaha..." Luvia laughed loudly as she looked at Rin Tohsaka.

However, at that moment, after a burst of light, Luvia deactivated her magical girl form.

"Sapphire, what are you doing?" Luvia asked, somewhat surprised.

"Lady Luvia, please allow me not to join in your nonsense." With that, Sapphire flew towards Miyu's direction.

"Hahaha, Luvia, it seems we're back to square one. Let's settle this once and for all!" Rin Tohsaka said gloatingly to Luvia, then took out a few gems and held them between her fingers.

“That’s exactly what I wanted!” Luvia retorted without backing down, also taking out a few gems and holding them between her fingers.

The two then started fighting.

Watching the two fight from the sidelines, Abigail shook her head and sighed:

"Ah, humans!"

Chapter Sixty-Two: On the Correct Methods of Brainwashing

"Abby, what's going on? And are we just going to stand by and watch?" Xiaoyuan asked, confused about the situation. They were friends just a moment ago, and now they're suddenly fighting. Xiaoyuan hadn't quite grasped the change.

“What else can we do? Xiaoyuan, we’re all locked up now, what else can we do but watch them fight like dogs?” Abigail said casually, showing no sense of self-awareness that someone who is locked up should have.

"Um, Abigail, are we really partners?" Madoka suddenly asked Abigail.

"Hmm? Why do you say that, Madoka?" Abigail asked, looking at Madoka with some confusion.

"You orchestrated all of this, Abby, but I knew nothing about it. Abby, if you really wanted the Heaven's Cup, I could have helped you. Why didn't you tell me?" Madoka said, sounding a little downcast.

"Xiaoyuan, what are you thinking? Of course we're not partners." Abigail paused for a moment, then exclaimed loudly, "You're my wife!"

"ah!??"

Originally, when Madoka heard Abigail say that she wasn't a partner, she felt her whole being turn gray. However, Abigail's next sentence made Madoka's mind suddenly go blank.

"Xiaoyuan, so I've always considered you my wife. Try calling me husband." Abigail said to Xiaoyuan with a playful smile.

"Abby, you're doing this again. I'm really not joking this time. I just want to know what you take me for." Xiaoyuan's expression relaxed a little when she saw Abigail's expression, but she still took what Abigail had just said as just a perfunctory response.

"Xiaoyuan, I'm not lying to you about this. I really like you, so be my wife, Xiaoyuan."

Abigail's expression was incredibly serious this time, and her intense gaze made Xiaoyuan feel somewhat at a loss.

"But we're all girls! How can this be?" Xiaoyuan said, feeling very embarrassed.

"Xiaoyuan, let me tell you, heterosexuality is for reproduction, while same-sex love is true love. So, accept my love for you." Abigail began to brainwash Xiaoyuan's worldview.

"But this kind of thing just doesn't seem right, does it?" Xiaoyuan still didn't accept it.

“Xiaoyuan, what do you think is wrong with this? Can’t there be love between people of the same sex?” Abigail immediately retorted.

"But that's what everyone says..." Xiaoyuan said somewhat uncertainly.

“Xiaoyuan, are what everyone says really right? Think about it, in ancient times, everyone believed that women were appendages of men, and in some cases, they could even be bought and sold as commodities. Everyone agreed on that! But is that right?” Abigail continued.

"That's definitely not right! How could something like that be right?" Xiaoyuan said excitedly.

"So what everyone says isn't necessarily right. In other words, you have to judge things for yourself. So, Xiaoyuan, do you think love between people of the same sex is really wrong? If so, what's wrong with it?" Abigail continued her offensive on Xiaoyuan.

"I...I don't know." At this point, Xiaoyuan was already wavering.
