Hmph, you must be furious, right?

Did you trick me before, leaving my flower petals at the crime scene?

The next second, it was as if an invisible hand had grabbed Mary's body and caused it to explode instantly, but what exploded was a sky full of flower petals.

"Aige, what should we do?"

Miyamoto Musashi couldn't help but ask.

When they saw the temple heading in Lin Jiu'an's direction, they stopped and went to find him.

When she was stopped by the Sphinxes on the way, Miyamoto Musashi had personally experienced the strength of those Sphinxes. They were almost the strength of a bottom-tier Servant. Even if she wanted to kill one, it would take some effort.

The biggest problem is...

There were so many sphinxes that it was terrifying; they were impossible to kill them all.

Even if she and Brunhilde were to join forces with Atalanta to rescue Lin Jiu'an, it would be highly unlikely that they could break into the temple and rescue Lin Jiu'an amidst the encirclement of so many Sphinxes.

"Let's go find the Linglong Pavilion."

Brunhilde said softly, "We cannot save the Master with our own strength."

Sajo Aika didn't speak; she was a hundred times unwilling to bow down to the woman who was competing with her for Jiu'an.

What is the difference between Morgan and Ramses II?

But Ayaka Sajou also knew that she simply couldn't rescue Lin Jiu'an on her own...

······

In the hotel room.

Elsa also received an invitation from Melly.

However, he didn't react as strongly as Ayaka Sajou. He simply politely asked her to leave and then looked at the wedding invitation in his hand.

'Tap tap.'

Just as I saw Mary off, the knocking on the door sounded again.

Atalanta arrived at the door, opened it, but saw no one outside.

"Lower your head." Shuten-dōji's somewhat speechless voice rang out.

Atalanta lowered her head and, upon seeing Shuten-dōji, retreated defensively, her hand gripping the longbow.

"Don't worry, I didn't come here to fight you."

Shuten-dōji walked straight in as if he were returning to his own home.

"Shuten-dōji, what are you doing here?"

"Don't look at me like that. If my husband hadn't sent me to find you, do you think I would have come willingly?"

"Husband?"

"Jiu'an, Lin Jiu'an."

"Jiu'an? Why are you calling him husband now?"

"It's a long story, so I won't go into details. Anyway, I'll be following you for now. What are your plans?"

Shuten-dōji naturally sat down on the sofa.

Elsa and Atalanta exchanged a glance, and Elsa, still wary, asked, "How can you prove that Jiu'an said it?"

"How do you want me to prove that that wicked fellow just left after he slept with me? Oh, you and my husband must have slept together too, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent me to find you." Shuten-dōji thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "My husband is very large, and he can change his length and shape. Even after that black substance covers his body, he can move back and forth..."

"Okay, okay, I believe you!"

Elsa blushed. She had almost forgotten about it, but the mention of it by the other person made her feel hot again.

Atalanta, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered.

No, what do you mean? I can understand each word individually, but it sounds so strange when put together.

Are you really talking about people and not slimes or something?

"So what are you planning to do next? Go and save your husband?"

Elsa and Atalanta fell silent. They had been invited by Sajou Aika to help them deal with Morgan and rescue Lin Jiu'an.

Naturally, they also went to deal with the Sphinxes.

"Atalanta."

Elsa looked at Atalanta, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you think we still have a chance to obtain the Holy Grail?"

Atalanta pursed her cherry lips.

Before today, she still held onto hope, but today she witnessed the chaotic battle between Morgan and Sajou Ayaka. None of those Servants were weaker than her, especially Bagst, who, even when she and Miyamoto Musashi joined forces, were in dire straits.

The aerial temple that appeared later was filled with an astonishing number and strength of sphinxes who claimed to be Osmandis.

It takes her some time to deal with even one of them.

"Jiu'an told me that even if we obtain the Holy Grail, it will be almost impossible to fulfill our wishes."

"Elsa?"

Atalanta's tone was tinged with doubt and anger, not so much directed at Elsa, but more at her own powerlessness.

She understood this principle, of course, but what could she do?

To fulfill the absurd wish of "hoping that all children in the world will be happy" is something even the gods cannot do; one can only place their hopes on the Holy Grail, this ethereal "omnipotent wish-granting machine that can grant any wish."

"I know I don't want to give up, but we have no other choice."

"Moreover, I have seriously considered what Jiu'an said."

“If wishing with the Holy Grail is not feasible, then establishing an orphanage and helping as many orphans as possible might be an acceptable option.”

Atalanta fell silent. She knew, of course, that Elsa's words were more in line with the truth, but in any case, she did not want to give up even the slightest possibility.

"So, Elsa?"

“I think we should at least try to save those we can see right now,” Elsa said, her voice lowering. “To me, Jiu’an is also a child.”

"You're interesting, go save him?"

Atalanta strongly disagreed with the claim that Lin Jiu'an was a 'child'.

No child can grow bigger or smaller, and no child is so powerful yet so despicable.

However, when she thought of him, Atalanta had to admit that her first impression of him was still that white-haired, red-eyed little boy sitting alone on a bench in the snow, and she still regarded him as a child to some extent.

"Yes." Elsa nodded.

Now that they still want to participate in the Holy Grail War, the best option is naturally to sit back and watch the tigers fight, to see Sajō Aika, Morgan, and Osmandis fight to the death for Lin Jiu'an. Only if they can perish together will the two of them have a chance to obtain the Holy Grail.

But, do we really need to do this?

For the Holy Grail.

And yet, they could only watch helplessly as the little boy was snatched away by three wicked women who were lusting after him.

They watched helplessly as the temple lord issued his declaration of world destruction.

Abandon the children before you, abandon the justice you hold dear, to pursue the "happiness of all children" that the Holy Grail might bring.

But what about the child?

······

Linglong Pavilion.

Morgan sat among them with a somber expression.

Mei Liuqina lowered her head and trembled, not daring to utter a word.

Bavanshi and Bagst had gloomy faces.

The chilling atmosphere alone made the fearless maids of the Linglong Pavilion turn pale and tremble, while Misaya of the Linglong Pavilion felt as if she was about to faint.

"Greetings, Your Majesty Fairy Queen."

"His Majesty's wedding will be held in three days."

And right at the heart of that murderous aura.

Mary, however, presented a red invitation with a smile.

Completely disregarding the increasingly intense magic that seemed poised to tear her to pieces at any moment, he added fuel to the fire, saying, "Everyone who has ascended to the temple before this will be qualified to participate in this wedding."

"Oh, by the way, the man is Lin..."

Before Mary could finish speaking, Morgan had already given a cold snort.

The ice and wind tore Meryl's body apart, but left no blood or flesh, only a ground covered with bright red petals.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Mei Liuqina knelt on the ground, her voice filled with remorse.

"This is none of your business."

Morgan's voice was indifferent, suppressing a deep anger.

She already knew Lin Jiu'an had left, and she intended to let Lin Jiu'an gain experience, so she didn't pay attention to the situation there.

However, by the time she noticed Ramses II's aerial temple appearing and heading towards Lin Jiu'an, it was too late. The sphinxes blocked their path, and by the time she and Sajo Aika arrived, they could only see Lin Jiu'an being taken away.

"Your Majesty, shall we go and rescue Father now?" Bawanshi couldn't help but ask.

Morgan remained silent. Although she was furious that Ramses II had stolen her home and tried to take her fiancé, and even more furious that the young Mary dared to provoke her, she did not lose her temper.

With ample magical power, she was not afraid of Ramses II.

But there's not much we can do about it.

As long as the temple is not destroyed, both Ramses II and the Sphinxes will be resurrected indefinitely.

However, on the other hand, the underground workshop of the Ise-san clan has been specially protected by Melly, and there are also many Sphinxes stationed around it. It is unrealistic for them to break into the underground workshop and cut off the temple's magic supply.

A direct clash of Noble Phantasms is also unrealistic.

Her Noble Phantasm was powerful enough to destroy a temple, but Ramses II's "Dendra's Great Electric Ball" was no pushover either.

With such a fierce exchange of fire, the entire city of Tokyo might be destroyed.

She didn't care about the lives of people in Tokyo, but she needed to consider this issue from both Lin Jiu'an's side and the Linglongguan clan, who had been quite respectful to her and satisfied her during this period. Therefore, she absolutely could not directly clash with Ramses II's magic.

so...

Just as Morgan was frowning, getting more and more annoyed by what she was thinking,

A maid suddenly strode into the room and whispered a few words to Misaya of the Reirō-kan.

Reiko Misaya was taken aback upon hearing this, then hesitated for two seconds before approaching Morgan and whispering, "Your Majesty, Sajō Aika has arrived."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Alice: The Father of the Child Has Appeared!

Fuyuki City, Tousaka family.

After finishing breakfast, Aoi Tohsaka was washing the dishes in the kitchen as usual, glancing occasionally at her daughter Sakura, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV because she was on holiday.

Rin Tohsaka went to the Clock Tower with Maris Billy to study magic.

The Tohsaka family, thanks to Marisbury's help, did not suffer much loss due to Tokiomi Tohsaka's sudden death.

Aoi Tohsaka had no interest in managing the Tohsaka family's assets. Although she had lost her husband, she did not squander money recklessly like other wealthy ladies and continued to live a similar life as before.

At most, he would also start learning magic to improve his skills.

The magic patents held by the Tohsaka family alone, which generate tens of millions of yen in revenue annually, are more than enough for Aoi Tohsaka to provide for her daughter Sakura's comfortable and affluent life. Aoi Tohsaka has entrusted the management of the rest of the Tohsaka family's assets to Maris Billy.

Maris Billy is just waiting for his daughter Rin to come of age so that he can return the Tohsaka family's assets to her.

Aoi Tohsaka is very content with her life now.

The only regret is...

"Mother, it's my brother!"

Sakura Tohsaka's voice came from the living room. Aoi Tohsaka looked up and saw her daughter pointing at the TV.
