People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Scathach retracted her spear and expressed her praise without reservation.

Although he clearly felt that he should have hit the target with this shot, the result was otherwise. At the critical moment, Artoria used some unknown means to make her magic spear deviate a certain distance, so it only penetrated part of her chest, and did not directly penetrate her heart and kill her.

While Scathach was thinking about the reason, she moved forward, ready to shoot her again.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a few wisps of fresh fragrance drifted past her nose, followed by a few light pink petals floating in front of her eyes. This vaguely made her understand something, and also made Scathach's mind emerge with a certain annoying figure.

"Was that guy the one who interfered just now? Humph, a nosy guy..."

When she saw a few petals floating in front of her, she realized what had happened and why she made the mistake.

"Hmm... Gáe Bolg, the magic spear from Celtic mythology, truly lives up to its reputation. The moment it appeared, it nearly took my life... Queen Scathach, your martial prowess far surpasses mine."

Covering her chest that was pierced by the magic spear, Artoria supported herself with the sword and stood up from the ground with difficulty. She looked at Scathach in front of her and said with a serious expression.

"It wasn't almost, it was a hit. If someone hadn't interfered with me just now, you would have been dead..."

Scathach shook her head slightly at Altria's sigh, then turned her spear and looked at the seriously injured Sword Hero in front of her, feeling a little hesitant.

Should I get rid of her myself?

Logically speaking, in a battle, the loser should obediently face death, and the Master's order was to eliminate her immediately, but that succubus...

She did owe him a favor. Even her ability to establish contact with Rowe in this world was partly due to his contribution. And now he was obviously asking her to let go of Altria, so this really made Scathach feel troubled.

"What's wrong? Lancer, did something happen?"

Rowe, who was hiding in the dark and watching, also noticed Scathach's hesitation through his familiar. Seeing that she did not eliminate Altria as he instructed, he directly asked her the reason.

"Nothing, Master," Scathach shook her head slightly after hearing Rowe's familiar voice, then said calmly.

"I want to let Saber go this time. What do you think?"

"Let go... Saber?"

Hearing Scathach's answer, Rowe, who was standing in the dark, was obviously a little surprised.

However, he did not get angry directly because of Scathach's behavior, nor did he blame her from the perspective of a Master, using Command Spells to forcibly control her to attack. He just asked patiently.

"Can you tell me your reasons?"

"The reason is complicated. If I had to summarize it, it's that I owe someone a big favor, and now that guy wants me to repay him, so I plan to let Saber go."

"I owe someone a favor, so I'm going to let Saber go?"

After listening to Scathach's incoherent story, Lowe fell into deep thought.

First, considering Saber's identity, and then thinking about those guys who had a distant relationship with her, he understood many things in an instant.

Moreover, he also knew that the relationship between him and Scathach was not simply that of a master and a servant, so he did not regard Scathach as a familiar or a weapon, but tried his best to follow the other party's wishes, achieve mutual understanding, and cooperate with each other tacitly.

Combining his experience in his previous life and his time together, Rowe can clearly understand Scathach's personality and character. Since it is her decision, no one can force her to change, not even him, the Master. Even if he forces her, the other party will definitely let her go.

So Lovi simply went with the flow and answered Scathach.

"Since she is your opponent, it is up to you to decide, Scathach."

"Do you agree, Master?"

Hearing that Rowe agreed to her willful idea so easily, Scathach was obviously a little surprised. She dispersed the runes hidden in her hands and smiled. You know, she had even prepared to disobey the Command Spell just now.

But I didn't expect my Master to be so considerate...

This made her feel a little surprised and happy.

As expected, partnering with someone who is smart and compatible saves effort. Obviously, her master is the kind of compatible person she thought.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing Scathach approaching, the seriously injured Artoria suddenly spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Her injuries were very serious and she was obviously forced into a desperate situation.

"The convergent breath of stars..."

Gritting her teeth, she spoke, intending to abandon everything and fight with all her might with her Noble Phantasm. Just as Artoria was about to reveal the Noble Phantasm's true name...

"Arrrrrrr——!!!"

A roar filled with anger suddenly broke into the battlefield.

Saber, who was about to activate her Noble Phantasm, and Scathach, who was about to leave, were both stunned. Then a dark figure suddenly crashed into the battlefield like a cannonball.

——Boom! ! !

The dark figure, the violent aura, and the piercing roar that resounded through the battlefield caused tinnitus in the ears of the two people present. Then, a terrifying figure crawling on the ground like a hound suddenly emerged from the thick smoke.

Berserker.

"...Lancelot, why is he here? Is he going to attack King Arthur?"

Looking at the dark figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, Scathach's expression was a little confused, and she also secretly felt that something was wrong.

Because she had noticed Lancelot's hatred for King Arthur and his relentless and violent pursuit.

King Arthur, who had just been hit by one of her treasures, had no way to withstand the mad dog-like attack of the Knight of the Lake, so she had to stop him.

"It's Berserker! Has a new enemy appeared?"

Dragging her seriously injured body, she took a few steps back, her expression becoming increasingly grim. Lancer and Berserker were both gathered here, plus the other two Heroic Spirits on the battlefield over there. At this moment, she was completely surrounded, and it was impossible for her to escape unscathed.

"Lancer, I'm here to help you."

Along with the appearance of the Black Knight, a young man with a somewhat silly face appeared behind him in the billowing smoke.

The person who came was none other than Matou Kariya...

……

About an hour ago.

The Matou family.

During the time when the Assassins were besieging Kenneth, Zouken Matou received a call from Luo Wei.

After thinking for a moment, he called Matou Kariya to the living room.

"Do you understand what's going on?"

After roughly explaining what happened over there, Matou Zouken asked calmly.

He also didn't expect that the brat Tōsaka Tokiomi would actually team up with the Einzbern family to bombard Kenneth and send out multiple servants.

Coincidentally, Kenneth also has many servants to help him, so a three-on-three melee is likely to ensue.

In this case, it is necessary for him to let his Berserker get involved.

Although he was allied with Luo Wei, he also had his own little thoughts and specifically instructed Jian Tongyan to arrive at a later time at night.

Let's have a three-on-three situation over there, wait until some Servants are killed or wounded, then let Berserker come in to reap the stalemate, thereby expanding our advantage, if possible...

It would be best if Tōsaka Tokiomi's Heroic Spirit, as well as the powerful Heroic Spirits from Kenneth and Rowe, could all fight to the death, with both sides suffering heavy losses...

In this way, his Berserker can easily clean up the mess and seize victory.

"This damn old bug is still thinking about plotting against others. How insidious..."

After listening to Matou Zouken's instructions, Matou Kariya cursed his meanness in his heart and felt even more disgusted with his actions.

"I understand. Reap the spoils and kill Tōsaka Tokiomi's Servant, right?"

However, at this moment, others have to bow their heads under the eaves and can only continue to endure and wait for the right time to come.

Matou Kariya patted his chest confidently, and said that everything that happened next would be left to him.

In the end, isn't it just to make things difficult for Tōsaka Tokiomi? This is what he likes the most.

No matter who it is, as long as they go to fight Tōsaka Tokiomi, he, Matou Kariya, has to lend a hand!!

……

So, this scene happened.

Matou Kariya, who had just arrived at the scene, looked around and still couldn't see any trace of Assassin and Archer, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

After exploring the surroundings for a while, Berserker beside him seemed to sense something and immediately pulled him over here at high speed.

You don’t know it by looking at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

Scathach and the seriously injured Artoria appeared on the battlefield at the same time.

Although Matou Kariya knew that this Saber was not the Heroic Spirit of Tōsaka Tokiomi, he also knew that Scathach was his ally, so rounding it off, Scathach's enemy was also his enemy.

So he gave orders to Lancelot beside him without hesitation.

"Then go ahead, Berserker. Haven't you always wanted to deal with this Saber? Now is your chance."

Matou Kariya pointed at Saber in front of him with great momentum, then Berserker turned and rushed towards Scathach.

The dark body was protecting Altria behind him tightly, which made the people present stunned.

Matou Kariya looked puzzled: "Huh?"

Then he hurriedly shouted at him: "Come back here, Berserker! I told you to attack Saber, not Lancer!!"

However, the courageous Lancelot completely ignored his command and continued to rush straight towards Scathach.

“Is this out of control?”

This scene made Artoria, who was originally in a desperate situation, stunned.

She looked up at the black knight's back as he marched forward bravely, and for a moment she felt a sense of familiarity.

Could it be...

Just when she was about to think of something possible, the communicator on her sleeve rang out with Kiritsugu Emiya's rather anxious voice.

"Why are you still dazed? Saber, while they're fighting among themselves, retreat immediately! I've already asked Maiya to prepare transportation nearby!"

"Oh, alright."

Hearing Emiya Kiritsugu's urgent cry, Artoria no longer had time to think about the question in her mind.

He quickly stood up from the ground, released his magic power to increase his speed, and then ran towards the direction of the ruined street without looking back.

Before leaving, she even remembered to express her gratitude to Berserker who helped her hold back Scathach.

“Arrrrrrr——!!!”

It was this word of thanks that made Berserker, who was already mentally unstable, even more violent.

This scene also made Matou Kariya speechless. He hurriedly waved at Scathach to prove his innocence.

"No, it really wasn't me. I'm not in cahoots with that Saber!"

"And Berserker, what on earth do you want to do? Get back here!"

Looking at Berserker who had made a big mistake and let Saber escape, Matou Kariya was furious and cursed.

However, because of the stimulation caused by Saber's recent serious injury, Berserker in front of him obviously did not calm down and still regarded Scathach as an enemy.

...Is this completely crazy?

"It's really troublesome."

Seeing this scene, Scathach, who had no intention of chasing Saber, couldn't help but frown.

Although as an ally, Scathach wanted to save Berserker's face, she couldn't bear it now.

"Let me calm you down a bit, Knight of the Lake."

So, amidst Matou Kariya's shouts, the two servants who were supposed to be in the same camp started a new round of battle on the ruins.

"Stop it! Stop fighting!"

"Please, stop fighting!"

Amidst Matou Kariya's obviously inappropriate shouts, the battle between the two servants seemed a little strange.

Seeing this scene, even Luo Wei couldn't help but cover his face and sighed: "Forget it, let them play slowly by themselves."
