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

"..."

Although she always felt that this topic was a little delicate, Atalanta couldn't care less at the moment.

She directly answered the second and third questions at the same time.

"As for whether you asked me if I liked it or if I was looking forward to the next time——"

"My answer is ..."

Atalanta looked at the six-armed Berserker in front of her, her expression determined.

“I like it very much and I am looking forward to it.”

“You could even say that this is why I’m participating in this Holy Grail War.”

"..."

Ibaraki Douji did not respond to what Archer said.

But the flames on her body were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they finally returned to their original state.

“As expected—”

Ibaraki Douji looked at Archer, who was much taller than him, and nodded.

"You also like to serve Abe-sama's stick."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura became confused.

Archer was fighting for his life with Berserker just a moment ago, but now he was chatting as if nothing had happened.

The six-handed evil ghost that was originally burning also turned into a harmless little loli.

The atmosphere was harmonious, but at the same time weird.

"Sister." Toosaka Sakura asked worriedly, "Are you really not going to worry about Archer?"

"..."

Toosaka Rin scratched her face, looking very embarrassed.

"You want me to take care of it... I don't know how to take care of it?"

"Let her continue to fight Berserker? Or let her stop chatting with Berserker?"

"No matter which one... the current situation is not suitable for doing it, right?"

"That's right..."

Toosaka Sakura looked at the harmonious atmosphere between Berserker and Archer in front of her and had the same realization in her heart.

Back to Ibaraki Douji, after confirming that the Archer in front of her had a close connection with the Lord Abe whom she admired in her heart, other thoughts began to arise in her mind.

Ibaraki Douji is a very unique existence.

Although his job is Berserker, he is a demon and miraculously ignores the side effect of Berserker's berserk.

Her thinking and communication are now not restricted in any way.

"Archer, wait for me!"

Ibaraki Douji said to the cat girl in front of him.

"I will inform my Master."

“Oh, oh…”

Feeling that Berserker's attitude had become friendlier, Atalanta lost the desire to fight him.

She sheathed her Tauropolos.

"I understand."

"That--"

"I will also return to my Master for the time being."

After informing Atalanta, Ibaraki Douji quickly returned to his master, Illya.

"Berserker!" Illya looked at Ibaraki Douji who had recovered to the state of using two hands, and her expression seemed a little unhappy.

"What are you doing?"

"I lent you my magic power! Why did you turn back to this?"

"Master——"

Ibaraki Douji did not rush to deny his Master's words, but looked at the Archer team not far away.

"Perhaps we made a wrong judgment."

“I think we can go and discuss this with Archer. Maybe we can find Rider.”

"..."

Illya blinked her beautiful ruby ​​eyes - it was obvious that she was thinking about what her Servant said.

In the end, the little loli chose to believe Ibaraki Douji.

"In that case—"

"Where are we going now?"

"Yeah." Ibaraki Douji nodded.

Ever since——

The two little lolis came in front of the Tohsaka sisters and Atalanta.

And because of the report just made by the little cat girl, the atmosphere now seems to be harmonious.

"Hello, sisters~"

Illya bowed to the three sisters in front of her - although it didn't look very standard, it was as if she had secretly learned it from somewhere.

But this situation is completely different from just now.

But compared to the change in behavior, what Toosaka Rin cares more about at the moment is the magical aura that continues to overflow from Illya.

It was very confusing - this showed that the little girl's attainments in magic were not very deep, and it could even be said that she had never conducted any systematic study at all.

But even so, her magic power reserves are still quite astonishing.

Just by feeling this, Toosaka Rin could feel an inexplicable sense of sighing.

My Archer was just fighting against Berserker who was supported by such a monster? !

Toosaka Rin was still in shock, but her Servant Archer Atalanta reacted first.

She loves children the most - this is something that can never be changed.

Atalanta bent down and picked up Illya.

"what's wrong?"

The cat girl hugged the little girl in her arms and whispered softly in her ear: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"..."

Although Archer's behavior at the moment seemed a little strange, Toosaka Rin felt that her current actions might not be an inappropriate way of communication.

She chose to remain silent and wait and see what would happen.

And Illya seemed to like it.

Being held by Atalanta, she looked obviously much happier than before.

"That--"

Illya raised her head and looked at the cat-girl Servant who was hugging her.

"Sister, can you help me find someone?"

"Looking for someone?" Atalanta's two cat ears moved slightly. "Who are you looking for?"

"Find a sister named Altria!" Illya stated her idea directly.

"I need to see her!"

"..."

As soon as Illya said this, Atalanta's tail immediately stood up - this was a sign of nervousness.

"Um... who did you say you were looking for?" she asked again.

"Altria!" Illya repeated without hesitation, "I want to find her!"

"But why are you looking for her?" The little cat girl was a little embarrassed.

"Let her take me to find my mother~"

"..."

Atalanta's expression gradually changed from embarrassment to confusion.

"Why did you ask her to take you to your mother?"

"Because she is my mother's friend... and my mother hasn't appeared for a long time - through her words, I can find my mother!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

After Illya said this, the Tohsaka sisters and Atalanta were silent.

The people who participate in the Holy Grail War are diverse, and they all have completely different wishes.

But someone like Illya is the first.

As the person who knew the situation best, Atalanta certainly knew that the Artoria that Illya was talking about was the Rider in this Holy Grail War.

But now, she couldn't make such information public - after all, Ian left with Altria and hasn't come back yet!

What should I do?

Just when Atalanta was struggling, Toosaka Sakura came over.

She completely understood how it felt to not be able to see her mother.

No.

Understanding alone may not be enough to summarize her feelings at the moment - it should be called empathy.

"I see."

"You... want to see your mother?"

"Yeah~" Illya nodded cutely, "It would be nice if we could just meet!"

"I want to tell my mother - I am doing well now!"

"..."

Toosaka Sakura felt more and more uncomfortable the more she looked, and finally she looked at her sister Toosaka Rin.

"Sister... do you think we should help her?"

"..."

Toosaka Rin sighed.

"Really...isn't this Holy Grail War getting too weird?"

“It’s completely different from what I imagined.”

"So what you mean is--" Toosaka Sakura was a little worried.

"If I can help, then I will." Toosaka Rin supported her waist with her hands and answered her sister.

"but--!"

The eldest daughter of the Tousaka family looked towards the campus in front of her.

"Until then, you all have to follow my instructions. If you don't use magic to remove these traces, you'll be in big trouble tomorrow."
