"Everyone is waiting for me?"

"Yes!" Atalanta nodded.

"Everyone is in the living room now—except the host!"

"..."

Ian reacted immediately and became serious - after all, they now had a common enemy.

"I understand. Come over once you've changed."

"Then I will help the master change his clothes!"

"..."

[With Atalanta's "help", you changed your clothes with some difficulty.]

【After seeing what happened in the living room, you realized something. 】

[Then the subjugation of Caster is inevitable. 】

The living room was full of people at this moment.

Sitting on the sofa on the left were the sisters Morgan and Altria.

A little to the right are Tousaka Sakura and Tousaka Rin.

Scathach occupied a large seat on the sofa by herself.

No one wanted to sit too close to the Queen of Shadow Kingdom - after all, she had a "criminal record".

And on the far left is Ibaraki Douji who is holding Illya.

After witnessing the scene at Yuanzang Mountain, she seemed to have directly become the Master's mother.

In this situation, even without any clues, Ian understood exactly what was going on.

That's right.

Although there are still various problems between them.

But because of Ian, they finally chose the same path - that is to destroy the overly powerful Caster.

Before that, the process of sharing what they have may have been completed.

"Great."

The man's gaze swept across everyone present, his eyes already filled with unspeakable emotions.

"You are all willing to participate in this crusade."

"Okay~"

Atalanta stretched out her hand and pushed Ian to the middle place where everyone could see him, and then sat directly next to the Master Toosaka Rin.

"It would be a bit long-winded to say all this now."

"Let's discuss how to get rid of Caster first!"

"Right."

Ian calmed himself down and took an extremely serious attitude.

He knew that every girl present at the moment was waiting for him to speak.

"That--"

The man's eyes fell on Scathach, who was sitting alone.

He decided to get her out of this embarrassing situation.

"Scathach."

"You are the only one of us who has faced Caster directly - can you tell me more?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Scathach.

The latter did not refuse and nodded directly.

"I see."

After answering this question, Scathach began to repeat her thoughts.

"first--"

"I want to remind you all of one thing. Although my opponent is Caster, his close combat ability is no worse than anyone here."

"..."

Altria pondered for a moment and asked a question that concerned her a lot.

"Scathach, can I understand this as a Caster who is good at close combat?"

Scathach first shook her head, then nodded.

"You could say yes, but you could also say no."

"What do you mean?" Altria's eyes became confused.

"You mean to say that he can get the upper hand in close combat, but at the same time he doesn't know how to fight in close combat?"

"But isn't this a contradiction?"

"That's not the case." Scathach continued to explain.

"From what I've observed, Caster's fighting ability is not his strongest point."

"Everyone here, even Archer, might be able to fight him a few moves if they were face to face."

"But the problem is—"

“He has absolute initiative.”

"Absolute initiative..." Ibaraki Douji interrupted, "Are you saying that Caster can take the lead in the battle?"

"Yes, that's what I meant."

"because--"

Scathach hesitated to speak, as if she was worried that what she was going to say next would make the people present feel uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Ian said directly:

"It's fine."

"Scathach, just say whatever you have to say - now is not the time to hide anything."

"We need to defeat Caster, not have a tea party here."

"..."

Perhaps knowing that Ian was right, Scathach nodded and continued to explain her ideas.

"Don't be afraid of what I'm going to show you next."

Having said this, Scathach began to quickly gather her magic power.

The streamlines flickered at her fingertips and finally fixed into a specific shape.

The light disappeared, and two dark red spears appeared in Scathach's hands - they were her Gae Bolg Alternative!

But the moment it appeared, the British sisters and the Toosaka sisters immediately became alert.

After all, to them, Scathach's gun was an extremely ominous sign.

Ian also realized this, and he immediately reached out and stopped the actions of the four people.

"It's fine."

"Trust Scathach - she is on our side now."

"..."

Hearing this, Scathach felt a warm feeling in her heart.

After all, among so many people present, Ian was the only one who trusted him unconditionally - even though he had been pierced by his gun once.

Ian's statement really works.

The four of them soon fell silent, all looking at Scathach silently.

Obviously, this was to find out her purpose in taking out the Gae Bolg Alternative.

Of course Scathach understood what was going on, so she started introducing it directly.

"Once my Gae Bolg Alternative is fired, it will definitely hit."

"No matter how agile the opponent is, there is absolutely no way they can escape this attack."

"..."

Hearing this, Toosaka Rin was the first to react - because there is a similar theory in Bajiquan.

"Scathach."

"Then according to what you said, shouldn't Caster be seriously injured?"

"After all, your Gae Bolg Alternative is a guaranteed hit."

"Plus, with Lancer fighting alongside you, there should be some results no matter how you think about it."

"..."

Scathach nodded, but showed no joy at being understood.

On the contrary, her expression became more serious.

"Yes."

"As a rule of thumb, even if Lancer and I can't win, we should at least be able to inflict some damage on the opponent."

"After all, no matter how you think about it, this is an attack that will definitely be effective as long as it is thrown."

"But the problem is—"

Scathach looked at the Gae Bolg Alternative in her hand with a complicated look in her eyes.

"It didn't hit Caster at that time."

"..."

"..."

"..."

A silent atmosphere instantly filled the living room.

Except for Illya, who was completely out of the loop, everyone knew exactly what Scathach meant by this.

Her Gae Bolg Alternative was negated!!!

"Scathach."

Ian couldn't believe this.

"Could you... have made a mistake?"

"I'm not wrong." Scathach faced the man's doubts.

"Ian, I did not attack Caster - even with Lancer's help."

"..."

[Scathach rarely admits her failure.]

[After all, even when she was defeated by you under the alias of Misaya, she still struggled for a long time before accepting it.]

[But now she directly admitted that her Gae Bolg Alternative was ineffective against Caster. ]

[This means she must have tried a variety of methods. ]

[You realize that the Caster she faced that day was probably far more terrifying than you imagined.]

The living room fell into deathly silence.

But at this moment, Toosaka Sakura seemed to have thought of something.

She looked at Scathach and asked a slightly aggressive question.
