In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

What are Saber's reasons for pursuing the Holy Grail now?

Yoshikage Kira did not believe that Saber's dream was still a naive hope to change the established facts.

But if not, then why has she been fighting for this long?

-----------------

"Father!"

Mordred roared and delivered a loving slash to Saber, forcing her to raise her sword in defense.

Mordred seized the opportunity to approach Saber and angrily questioned her:

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

"Because you didn't ask!"

Saber coldly answered her, swung her sword to force her back, and then took the initiative to engage her in close combat.

Even if she asked, it wouldn't make a difference.

Because they belong to different camps and have no way to contact each other.

What's more, until yesterday, she didn't know that Berserker was Xiao Mo.

What a coincidence! It must have been Sister Wang again!

Chapter 229 If you dare to invade, I will make sure you suffer a crushing defeat!

Tick ​​tock!

Blood flowed from the iron nail that pierced his palm, dripping onto the ground and gradually forming a small pool of crimson blood.

As Ryunosuke Uryu fiddled with his artwork, he yawned and asked:

"Hey Bluebeard, it's getting dark, aren't you going to give up yet?"

"Really? You couldn't get out of the castle?"

Caster, who had been staring at the crystal ball all day, finally looked up, and tears of sorrow streamed from her bulging eyes.

"As expected, she is not my holy virgin; she is merely a fabrication created by the gods."

He had waited a whole day, but the dark saintess still hadn't emerged, nor had she broken the barrier. His 'clairvoyance' magic couldn't see anything inside. But the result was predictable: the imposter had been destroyed by his saintly virgin.

Only the true Virgin can triumph; the false is destined to be destroyed by the true.

Even knowing it's a fake, why does he still feel sad?

“Holy Virgin, I will come to greet you.”

Caster stared intently at the forest displayed in the crystal ball, his eyes burning with renewed fervor.

Now that the Holy Virgin has defeated the falsehood, he, as her marshal, will surely prepare a grand ceremony to celebrate her breaking free from the control of that false god and being reborn!

"Ryunosuke,"

Caster looked at the Master who had summoned him, "We must prove to the Virgin that the loss of divine power and the emptiness of love will not be punished by the gods, no matter how cruel or immoral we are!"

"Ah~!"

Ryunosuke Uryu's eyes lit up with longing, and he waved his hands excitedly, "Master, your behavior is much cooler!"

"In that case, we shall do something even more immoral and blasphemous, piling up blasphemous offerings into mountains!"

"So...does that mean we should abandon quality and pursue quantity?"

Looking at the tall man whose gaze was becoming increasingly fervent, Ryunosuke Uryu scratched his face, struggling to understand his words.

"That's right, absolutely correct!"

Caster praised his master's wisdom, "First, turn all 12 people in the prison into sacrifices, and then replenish them with new children. Ryunosuke, I'll leave this to you."

"OK!"

The cheerful young man flashed a bright smile and waved the purple bracelet on his arm. "With this thing you gave me, Master, capturing any number of sacrifices won't be a problem!"

-----------------

Einzbern Castle, inside the meeting room.

"Gil de Rae?"

Saber murmured.

"That's right, that's what he calls himself."

Mordred shrugged. "The first thing they did was throw Zouken Matou at us. He's a bit odd-looking, but at first I thought he was a nice guy. Then the Holy Church's overseer issued a warrant for his extermination. I didn't want to associate with someone like that anymore, so I came to attack in broad daylight... cough cough, I mean, I came to Einzbern Castle for help."

Mordred somewhat awkwardly concealed his original purpose, even though everyone else present was already fully aware of it.

Who is this person?

Saber looked at Yoshikage Kira and Irisviel, her face full of confusion as she tried to find an answer.

Artoria, who traveled through time to the present as a Heroic Spirit, is unaware of what happened after his history.

"Gilles de Rais ascended to the position of marshal as a national hero of France during the Hundred Years' War, but in his later years, he went astray because of the death of Joan of Arc, indulging in black magic and lust, and even torturing and killing hundreds of children for it."

Irisviel told Saber the information she knew, her expression serious:

“Since it’s this person, then his and his Master’s actions are not surprising at all. Saber, if he continues to act according to the plan he discussed with Berserker tonight, we must prepare in advance and prevent him from getting close to the castle!”

"Don't worry, Master."

Mordred grinned, revealing a maniacal smile. "If he really dares to come, then leave him to me. I can cleave a guy like that in two with one sword strike!"

"Don't let your guard down!"

Saber issued a stern warning.

"whispering sound."

Mordred looked away unhappily, but seemingly feeling it was a bit of a loss of face, she turned back and sneered, "Are you scared?"

"This has nothing to do with whether you're afraid or not."

Saber frowned slightly and solemnly warned, "Never underestimate the enemy, or sooner or later..."

"Don't lecture me like that!"

Mordred angrily interrupted her, baring her teeth at Saber like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.

what is this?

When they were alive, they wouldn't even acknowledge me, but after they died, they started lecturing me?

There was a chance to salvage everything at the beginning. I listened to everything you said back then, so why didn't you teach me more or tell me what was right? What's the point of saying all this now?

"really."

Saber did not show the disappointment Mordred had expected; instead, her tone was extremely cold.

"You wouldn't listen to me anyway."

"you……"

Mordred was both angry and aggrieved. How did you know I wouldn't listen?

“Saber has a point.”

Just as the two were about to start arguing again, Yoshikage Kira spoke up at the right moment, "Never underestimate your enemy, especially when the strength of both sides is unclear."

Mordred, who was about to draw his sword to strike his father, caught his breath, forcibly suppressing his rage, and silently lowered the sword he had raised.

"Since you've put it that way..."

"How amazing!"

A glint of brilliance flashed in Irisviel's beautiful eyes.

Saber and Berserker definitely know Kira, but their attitudes are quite different.

Saber was somewhat angry at his lack of ambition, seemingly finding it hard to accept that her friend in her memory had turned out like this—indeed, Saber didn't hide her dissatisfaction with Yoshikage Kira, focusing almost entirely on his unrestrained harem-building.

Although Irisviel found this puzzling, since she didn't think her husband was having a harem at all, she even hoped she had as many sisters as possible, so that they could better help her share some of the pressure.

As for Mordred, just like in the legend, she is very rebellious towards Saber. She would say ten things to refute Saber for every one thing Saber said, but she is very enthusiastic towards Yoshikage Kira.

Like a wild cat that may not be fully domesticated, she likes to bristle and bare her teeth in front of other cats that compete with her for food, but she immediately becomes very docile in front of her owner.

If we were to describe the role played by Yoshikage Kira, it would probably be something like King Arthur's close friend or Mordred's mentor.

But such speculation only made Irisviel more curious. If Kira really did leave a significant mark on British history, why was he completely unmentioned in history?

"Let's talk about Gilles de Rais first."

Kira Yoshikage calmly began to analyze, "How much do you know about him?"

“Absolutely not,” Mordred said matter-of-factly.

“Only what Irisviel just told me,” Saber replied more calmly.

"Tch, what a hypocrite!"

Mordred muttered something unpleasantly.

"Let's start from the beginning. Caster himself isn't particularly strong; the main threat comes from his Noble Phantasm, the [Scream Annihilation Tome]. It's a grimoire bound in human skin, containing forbidden knowledge about ancient evil gods that existed before the rise of humankind."

"Unlike other Masters, Caster's Master is not a magus, but an ordinary... well, an ordinary serial killer with no magical experience. Therefore, his Master cannot provide him with enough magical power, and his magical power supply comes entirely from the [Snail Annihilation Castle Text]."

"But conversely, as long as he still has this magic book in his hands, his magic power is almost inexhaustible."

"In addition, he can use the [Snail Annihilation City Text] to summon and command monsters from the deep sea, a kind of monster with octopus tentacles. Although there are many of them, their individual strength is not high. With your strength, they are not difficult to deal with."

"However, these monsters are merely fragments of true otherworldly monsters. Even if they are killed, more monsters can be summoned from their remains. Killing one will summon two, killing two will summon four. Therefore, the longer the battle drags on, the more enemies there will be, and the more disadvantageous it will be for you."

“If things go wrong, Caster can even ‘invite’ this otherworldly monster into the real world to feed on it, and its strength will increase dramatically once it eats it. But he probably won’t use such a move on our first meeting, so it’s best to take care of it as quickly as possible before these monsters start to ‘reproduce’!”

After a brief pause, noticing that all three people in the conference room were staring intently at him, Yoshikage Kira couldn't help but feel a little puzzled:

Why are you all staring at me like that?

Mordred retorted:

"You said that we shouldn't underestimate the enemy when the strength of both sides is unclear, but don't you seem to know everything?"
