"..."

Watching Altria disappear from her sight, Mash hesitated for a moment, but still walked to Ian's side.

"Senior...are you okay?"

Mashu thought that his words would not be responded to - after all, he looked very devastated.

But she didn't expect the exact opposite to happen.

"Well, I'm fine."

He stood up and answered in a hoarse voice.

"Come on, let's go get the Holy Grail back."

"Then...let's end this."

Although his tone sounded calm, Matthew knew that Ian just wanted to make himself feel normal.

Even I can see through this clumsy cover-up at a glance.

but--

There is no need to expose anything.

If he thinks this is appropriate, then so be it.

"Yeah." Matthew nodded.

"Senior, let's go take back the Holy Grail!"

Altria did not hide the Holy Grail too far away from herself.

Or rather, even if she wanted to hide, there was no point.

The Holy Grail at singularity F is continuously emitting light towards the sky.

If it weren't for Altria guarding the place, it would have been swarmed by the crowd long ago.

Looking at the pillar of light reaching the sky in front of her, Mashu became troubled.

“How do I get it back?”

I was so busy agreeing to Ian that I didn't even think about the fact that this was actually my first time doing such a thing.

It turns out that I still have to go back and ask the director!

Just as Mashu turned around and was about to ask Olga Marie who was taking care of Ritsuka Fujimaru who was unconscious due to the huge output of magic power in a short period of time, she saw a figure.

"No need to ask."

"As a Servant, you only need to touch the Holy Grail. It is the source of magic power prepared for us."

That was Cu Chulainn.

But at this moment, he had lost an arm, and blood was constantly flowing out of it, which looked quite horrifying.

Even though they didn't have much interaction, Mashu still clearly remembered his courage in deciding to fight the white-haired man on the mountainside to buy time for everyone.

This is--

Absolute friends!

"Mr. Cu Chulainn, your hand..."

"Oh."

Cu Chulainn glanced at his empty arms and smiled nonchalantly.

"After all, he wasn't holding a gun, so it was a little difficult to fight that kind of guy."

"but--"

"Even if it's Caster (magician), I'm not that easy to mess with!"

It seems that before Ian "dealt with" Altria, Cu Chulainn had already defeated the unknown dual-blade servant.

Although--

The price was an arm.

"Mr. Cu Chulainn..." Mashu, who was also a "Servant", was somewhat moved by such heroism.

She recalled something.

"and many more!"

"If it is the source of magic power, wouldn't it be better if Mr. Cu Chulainn, as a 'Servant', touched it?!"

"This way, I can also materialize and obtain a real body!"

"No." Cu Chulainn shook his head.

"I don't want to touch the Holy Grail in my current state. I prefer myself holding a spear."

"and--"

Cu Chulainn looked at Mashu in front of him.

"If I'm not mistaken."

"You... wanted to protect others, so you successfully deployed your Noble Phantasm and resisted the Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur Morgan)."

"Then according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, you are the true winner."

"So the person who should obtain the Holy Grail should be you."

"Go."

Cu Chulainn's eyes were full of approval.

"As a victor, take back the Holy Grail."

"Eh?!"

Mashu was very excited to be recognized by the historical hero Cu Chulainn.

Although she didn't want to make any wishes, she realized that this was something she had to get back.

"Senior, then I..."

Matthew looked at Ian.

Although she did not become his Servant, the girl still raised him to the same status as the Master.

"Well, go ahead, Mashu."

Ian forced a smile.

"Go bring back the Holy Grail and put an end to this."

"But...don't make any wishes during this time, okay?"

"Yeah! I know!"

With Ian's permission, Matthew no longer had any fear.

"Noble Phantasm, unfold!"

The girl held a round shield and entered the column of light.

Ian looked at her figure, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.

And at this moment, he felt someone patted his shoulder.

The man turned around and saw that it was Cu Chulainn who was doing this with his only remaining arm.

"you……"

Ian's expression grew heavy.

"I'm sorry you lost an arm."

"Hahahaha!" Cu Chulainn laughed. "Ian Pendragon, are you sympathizing with me?"

"That's not necessary."

"because--"

"I'm leaving soon, too."

"what?!"

Ian then realized something.

Like Artoria, Cu Chulainn is also a Servant who appeared because of this Holy Grail War.

The moment Mashu obtained the Holy Grail, he also faced his own failure.

"Cu Chulainn, don't you want to win?"

"Of course I want to win."

Cu Chulainn looked at the beam of light in front of him, his eyes filled with thought.

"But I feel that since it wasn't me who defeated Altria, I naturally have no right to win."

"I'm not that shameless."

"……Too."

"As long as you understand." Cu Chulainn's gaze returned to Ian beside him.

"By the way... you should know that the girls who appear here with you all like you, right?"

Ian hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

"Ok, I know."

"Then take responsibility!"

Cu Chulainn pushed Ian with his only remaining arm.

"Promise me that you will marry them all!"

"Oh, no?"

This sudden turn of events almost choked Ian to death.

"you……"

"What!" Cu Chulainn interrupted Ian.

"You're not good at that?"

"of course not!"

"Then take responsibility for me!"

"I don't want the opponent I finally found to be an incompetent and unfaithful man."

"Otherwise, I'll just find you disgusting the next time we meet."

"next time?"

Ian muttered the word and suddenly smiled.

"Yes... there will be next time."

"I understand, Cu Chulainn."

"I...will do as you say."

"That's right!" Cu Chulainn showed the same approving smile as when he first tied with Ian.

"gone."

Like friends parting, Cu Chulainn turned around, waved his hand, and disappeared from Ian's sight.

Mashu also successfully retrieved the Holy Grail.

"Senior~ I got it done!"

"Yeah." Ian nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Matthew."

"Nothing, I..."

Mashu was about to say something when she felt a warmth on her lips.
