Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

In fact, in a sense, those engraved bugs are even cleaner than some magicians.

After all, insects are only scary in appearance. They actually only act based on their instinct to find food. However, the souls of some magicians are so twisted and hideous that even insects cannot compare to them.

Of course, none of this matters... What really matters now is, who can tell him whether this Santa Claus who calls herself Joan of Arc Lily is real or fake?

"What the hell, does Santa Claus really exist?"

"And the kid with white hair."

【Karen Aldessia】.

Aldessia, a common surname in southern Europe, means "Hydrangea" in Italian.

Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. Southern Europe is the headquarters of the Holy Church, so it's normal for a few Lolita nuns to appear.

But the problem is her name [Karen].

Although this name has many meanings in different languages, if placed in this context, there is no doubt that this word should be taken from Japanese, meaning "delicate and pitiful".

"The pitiful hydrangea".

The name translates roughly like this.

And if it's a combination of Japan + Southern Europe, and it's obviously related to the Holy Church... If Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't suffer from Alzheimer's, he should clearly remember that the disciple he just accepted a few days ago, named [Kotomine Kirei], had a wife from the Ordesia family, and his daughter was obviously about the same age as the silver-haired little nun in front of him.

“Trouble—”

The Holy Grail War was approaching, and troubles kept coming one after another. Even Tōsaka Tokiomi, who prided himself on always being elegant, was somewhat thrown into disarray.

But it didn't matter, his panic soon subsided.

——Because it’s completely cold.

"That is……"

He just glanced casually and saw the three command seals emitting red light on the back of his little daughter's left hand.

"damn it!"

……

In short, whether it is for one reason or another, it is an active choice or passive participation.

So far, the seven Masters participating in this Holy Grail War have gathered.

Magicians from all over the world will engage in a heart-wrenching fight in this small coastal town in the far east for their own long-cherished wishes, using all kinds of conspiracies and the bones of losers to pave the way to the ultimate truth... Although Jeanne d'Arc, the judge of this Holy Grail War, really wants to say that.

But the reality is that—

"Whether you're a Master or a Servant, you must come and register with me!"

"If you don't come to register, you will be labeled as a "bad boy" by Santa Claus."

"In addition, busy downtown areas or residential areas are prohibited areas for fighting. Please be careful not to harm innocent citizens."

After sending Sakura Tousaka back, Jeanne Lily and her followers rushed all the way to the Cathedral Church in Fuyuki City. Without hesitation, she replaced the bishop [Kotomine Risei] and became the person in charge of the Cathedral Church in this area.

She became the [Supervisor] of the Holy Church this time, and immediately sent a notification letter in the name of the Holy Church to the three major Fuyuki families, the Magicians Association, and other mysterious forces that might participate in this Holy Grail War.

There are many rules listed above - of course, participants can choose to listen to them or not.

But do so at your own risk.

"So, what should we do?"

The sudden change disrupted many people's battle plans.

But this is also the time to test the wisdom, ability, and luck of the participants.

……

London, Clock Tower.

Webber Velvet, who has become Kenneth's "beloved disciple", the "teaching assistant" of the El-Melloi classroom, and the "big star" of the Clock Tower, is discussing the battle plan for this Holy Grail War with his teacher.

——Of course, their two servants were also discussing it.

"In any battle, one should use the right tactics to defeat the enemy and the unexpected to win—"

"Ah? Is this the military strategy from the ancient East? Although I don't understand it, I think it's very powerful!"

"The guy in red, you're a magician, right? Are you interested in joining my team and becoming my military advisor?"

"..."

Fuyuki City, Japan.

"Humph, you actually offended me with something like this—Shichen, do you want to die?"

"My apologies, King. But with all due respect, given your authority, the relationship between us and the Holy Church, and your recent conflict with the Emperor... even if we didn't register, the Saint would surely already have intelligence on us."

"..."

Looking at Gilgamesh's suddenly frozen expression, Tōsaka Tokiomi was also helpless.

He had already accepted his fate and had originally planned to take his daughter to wreak havoc in this Holy Grail War... But who could have imagined that the little girl would be so weak that she would run to the cathedral church all day, constantly shouting things like "I want to be Santa Claus too."

"And the Emperor..."

When he thought of the rose-red Emperor summoned by Sakura, Tōsaka Tokiomi couldn't help but get a headache.

A proud First King was already difficult to serve, and now there was a Roman tyrant... There was no need for excessive description, just a glance between these two servants was enough to start a war of the century.

——At this moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi was probably the one who most wanted this Holy Grail War to start and end quickly.

Chapter 114: How many dishes did she have? Why did she drink so much?

Einzbern Castle, Germany.

"So, what do you think of that notice?"

An impromptu operations meeting.

There are many participants in the meeting, but there are only three real decision makers.

Shirataki, Altria, and Emiya Kiritsugu.

The first person to speak was Emiya Kiritsugu.

"The Templar Church's intentions are unclear... but concealing their whereabouts when their own cards are clearly in the bag is undoubtedly a foolish move."

"My suggestion is to have Illya go and register, while the others stay hidden—"

Emiya Kiritsugu analyzed very rationally.

Unlike other Masters, the Fuyuki clan would definitely participate in this Holy Grail War. Therefore, there was no point in completely hiding it... Moreover, Kiritsugu Emiya had his own selfish motives for letting Illya register with the Holy Church.

Although he knew the Holy Church was unreliable, with the Holy Grail War about to begin and the future hanging in the balance, he was willing to place a small bet on the Holy Church—if he and Irisviel were to unexpectedly withdraw for some reason, he hoped the Holy Church would provide Illya with the most basic shelter for survival.

"I also 993 agree to go and register."

Altria's attitude was firm.

She was the kind of person who liked games with clear rules, not to mention that the rules of the game were very much to her liking - fair and just, and no accidental harm to civilians... These two points alone were enough to satisfy her.

As for Shirataki's attitude?

"No, how many dishes did she eat? Why is she drinking like this?"

"He's just an insignificant character, yet he really thinks he's the referee, making the rules of the game?"

Is it surprising?

No, not surprising at all.

Shirataki has a good relationship with that little guy, but that doesn't mean he has to listen to that "Santa Claus" in everything... There are times when friends disagree, right?

"It's decided. After we arrive in Fuyuki City, we'll destroy that Holy Church and make her sleep on the streets!"

This is not just empty talk, but something he will definitely do.

But, that’s okay.

"Then let Illya and this white dragon stay out in the open."

"I, Ellie, Lacner, am hiding in the dark." (dbcj)...

About another week passed.

The Fourth Holy Grail War is about to begin.

After the final preparations, Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel also set off for the Munich airport, ready to fly to the "Promised Land of the Einzbern Family."

Altria traveled with them.

On the other hand, Illya, a child, and Vina, whose face was full of reluctance, chose another more "cool" way to travel -

【Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon】

"Wow, I saw this in a book!"

"It's a fighter jet!"

A fighter jet shaped like a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, with four jet-powered tail fins. The ferocious dragon claws and wings might not be very aerodynamic, but they are really cool and eye-catching.

Illya likes this fighter very much, especially the red button in the cockpit, which seems to be able to fire white magic light bullets forward.

"See that plane ahead? You can try to aim at it and press the launch button."

A terrible suggestion.

But the little girl, who had no common sense at all, pressed the launch button without even thinking.

A destructive white light blasted out from the fighter jet's dragon head and flew towards the civilian airliner at an extremely fast speed. But just as it was about to hit, the civilian airliner suddenly made an emergency sideways flight, using the chaotic airflow to deviate from the planned flight trajectory, and narrowly avoided the attack of the [Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon].

"Well done Lancer"

"Is it crazy? Why would it attack us?"

Irisviel's cheers and Emiya Kiritsugu's questioning voice echoed in the cabin simultaneously.

Altria, who was manipulating the remote control, had a serious expression on her face, concentrating on controlling the civilian airliner with her "A-level riding skills."

She understood exactly what Shirataki wanted to say to her:

"The war has begun—"

"Don't expect me to show mercy!"

……

A wonderful chase.

From Munich, Germany to Fuyuki City, Japan, almost all countries along the way detected the battle taking place in the sky.

In comparison, the people of Fuyuki City may need to be a little more "luckier".

"boom--"

The last blue and white magic light bullet sprayed out from the white dragon's mouth. After brushing past the wings of the emergency landing passenger plane, it happened to fall above the Fuyuki City Church and instantly erupted with a very violent energy wave.

Declare war.

This was undoubtedly a declaration of war.

It was a declaration of war not only against the Church, but also against the heroic spirits and magicians who had already arrived in the city and were about to start a war.

"Rules? There are some bullshit rules."

"Let's fight. The winner will be a king and the loser will be a bandit—"

The silver-white dragon-shaped fighter plane circled over Fuyuki City for a moment, like a victor inspecting his territory, before slowly disappearing without a trace.

"Hey, is this so exaggerated?"

"Are we going to fight an enemy like this?"

The red-haired king looked at the sky, looking very surprised.

But at the same time, no emotion related to "fear" could be seen on his face - he was just excited. The warlike heart that had been dormant for thousands of years seemed to be ignited by the exploding magic light bomb, and his heart instantly became surging.

The middle-aged man in red standing next to him frowned, smoked a cigarette, and said nothing.

And under the church at the center of the explosion.
