In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

The war is about to start.

the other side.

Ian and his group were hurrying towards the top of the mountain.

At this moment, they are the only pieces that can break this deadlock.

But Ian still cared about Matthew's appearance at the moment.

"Mashu, what are you doing..."

Maybe he knew that his current state was very different from his usual appearance.

Mashu, carrying Fujimaru Ritsuka on her back, followed Ian closely and began to explain.

"Senior... for some reason, Ritsuka and I just signed a contract."

"Now I am already a sub-servant."

"Sub-Servant?" Ian was puzzled by this concept.

Fortunately, it was Olga Marie he was carrying on his back - she knew all about this.

She explained.

"It is a status second only to 'Servant'."

"Ignoring external conditions, let's assume that there is nothing wrong with the 'Servant' itself."

"This……"

Time was running out, and before Ian had time to ask more questions about this, the top of the mountain appeared before him.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure is standing there at this moment.

That's Arturia.

But she was completely different from the blue and white armor in Ian's memory.

At this moment, the armor covering her entire body turned black, and she looked like a piece of carbon stone standing there.

The Sword of Promised Victory was thrust directly in front of her, with inky mist hovering above it.

This is the real Altria.

But it was definitely not the Altria that Ian remembered.

How could this be?

What happened?

Ian was only momentarily distracted before Altria launched her attack.

She simply drew out the Sword of Promise and Victory that was filled with black energy and rushed towards the people present.

Do not!

To be precise, it should be directed at Ian.

That action was like instinct!

"senior!"

Mashu reacted quickly and put down Ritsuka Fujimaru who was on her back, then rushed towards where Ian was.

The man was knocked away by Mashu.

Olga Marie fell on the other side.

Mashu took the blow firmly.

The gap in strength between the two is just too big.

With just this one touch, Mashu was sent flying with her shield, and she rolled on the ground for several times before coming to a stop.

"Matthew!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru let out a heart-wrenching roar.

It was obvious that during the time when they were not with Ian, the two girls supported each other and established a good friendship.

But Altria didn't care about the shouting at all.

She turned and looked at Ian.

King Arthur, dressed in black, now held high the Sword of Victory and Promise, which was emitting black energy.

"Excalibur Morgan!"

It was a black beam that pierced the sky. Even Olga Marie, who was forced to get involved in the battle between the servants, could feel its power.

"Ian! Run! Do you want to die?!"

But Ian didn't move at all.

It's not that he can't feel how powerful Excalibur Morgan is.

Instead, he saw something that concerned him more than this.

That is--

Her tears.

Altria was crying.

It wasn't that she didn't recognize herself, but she was forced to do so because of something that bound her.

What on earth... happened?

Ian's mind was completely confused because of Altria's tears.

That's something only she can do.

But what the man didn't know was.

At this moment, two people reached a surprising consensus.

That's Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

——It doesn’t matter if he’s a fake Servant!

——It’s okay even if he’s an idiot Master!

——I want to protect him!

——I want to save him!

This is the wish of two people united!

Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at each other at the same time, and with just one glance, they knew each other's thoughts.

The scarred pink-haired girl picked up the huge shield again and rushed towards Ian.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stretched out his hand and seemed to touch something.

As the Master, she felt for the first time how to transfer magic power.

"Noble Phantasm!"

"Unfold it!"

Following Mashu's roar, the giant shield in her hand burst into an unprecedented spell cycle!

When it fully blossomed, the shield had transformed into the shape of a round table, firmly blocking the sword of Excalibur Morgan.

The Shielder, Extra-class Mashu, was born on the top of a mountain in Fuyuki City in fulfillment of the two people's wish to become one!

The corners of Altria's mouth rose slightly.

She seemed extremely happy that Mash was able to block the Excalibur Morgan that she used to kill Ian.

but--

The command that was entwined around her had not yet ceased.

She once again raised the sword of promise of victory.

"Excalibur Morgan!"

Another fierce chopped attack of black light.

However, having successfully deployed her Noble Phantasm, Mashu was no longer as fearful as before.

At this moment, she has an unshakable belief in her heart - to protect the man behind her for herself and for Ritsuka Fujimaru!

There was a bang.

The Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur Morgan) struck Mash's unfolded round shield with a solid blow.

And it seemed that because the previous attack was blocked, this time the Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur Morgan) was obviously much more powerful.

Mashu had a hard time resisting.

But she had no intention of giving up.

"Senior, recover quickly!"

"Let's... defeat her together!"

The simplest request has turned into the most effective call at this moment.

Tick.

Ian felt a drop of water fall into his mind.

His mind gradually became clear.

Yes.

Altria was indeed crying.

In that case——

We must find a way to save her from this pain.

Can you do it yourself?

No.

It’s not a question of whether or not it can be done.

But -

How to do it.

If you think along this line of thought, you will understand if there is any way to rescue her from this bondage.

correct.

Let her recall those things.

In this way, maybe we can break through this shackles.

"Matthew."

"Eh?!" Mashu was very surprised to hear Ian's voice, "Senior, are you recovered?"

"Ah."

Time was running out, so Ian didn't bother with any pleasantries.

"Mashu, can you come a little closer to Altria?"

"This……"

Ian's request was undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

After all, with every step forward, the level of magic power you come into contact with will increase by one level.

but--

Now that Ian said so.

Then you have to try it yourself!

"I understand, senior."
