Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

Fiore is Fulvig... no, she is a genius that the Yggdrasil clan has only seen once in a century.

Therefore, Fiore could only hope for a miracle from the Holy Grail—to maintain the magic circuits as they were and restore the function to her legs.

Corresponds also believed that only the Holy Grail could heal his sister's leg.

But when he saw Shirou treating the android, he suddenly realized—this person might be able to cure his sister.

Shirou did not use a healing technique, but rather an enhancement technique.

Because he was born with the ability to analyze the structure of matter, he was able to do such incredible things through enhanced magic.

"Well……"

Shirou tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be curable, right?"

Hearing this, Koles' eyes lit up: "In that case—"

He was met with the red-haired boy's cold gaze.

The moment those amber eyes fixed on him, Koles suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.

"Please forgive me for refusing."

Shirou said calmly.

"I saved Roger because I hate Caster, not because I am a saint who considers helping others my mission."

"If Fiore were in mortal danger in front of me, I think I would probably lend a hand..."

But to ask me to heal a magician's legs—such a selfish wish… I will not grant it.”

"...!"

Koles pursed his lips.

He was also very aware of how extravagant his sister's wish was.

Fiore has already acquired the talent that most magicians in the world dream of, yet she still yearns for the happiness of an ordinary person—

This can only be described as greed.

Koles lowered his head in frustration: "I'm sorry, I said something strange..."

Your willingness to help the Yggdrasil is already a great kindness.

Shirou's expression softened as he said, "Corles, if you really want to help Fiore..."

"Hmm? You're talking about me?"

Fiore, in her wheelchair, came between the two with a smile.

"Sister, sister!?" Koles's expression changed drastically.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so flustered?"

The girl looked curious and grinned mischievously, "Koles, you wouldn't be saying bad things about me to Mr. Saber, would you?"

"No...no, that's not true...Um! I'm leaving now!"

After saying this, Koles fled the scene in a panic.

"What a strange child..."

Fiore watched the fleeing figure and smiled kindly.

"By the way, Mr. Saber... may I come to my room next?"

"Is the electric heater in the room broken?"

Hearing him say that, Fiore covered her mouth and laughed.

"Mr. Saber is so witty, hehe..."

Actually, I wanted to discuss future operations with you, but I wasn't sure if this is a convenient time for you..."

As she spoke, the girl's voice grew softer and softer, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

This was the first time Fiore had invited a man other than her brother into her bedroom.

"Hmm, I do have some free time later..."

"No, you have other things to do next."

Suddenly, a slender arm took Shirou's arm.

Joan of Arc smiled broadly: "You have a date with me tonight... right, Mr. Saber?"

"……Well."

Shirou was overwhelmed by the saintess's imposing presence and nodded hesitantly.

"That's how it is, Miss Fiore... I'm sorry, Saber is borrowed by me, okay?"

"I see. So you had an appointment with Miss Ruler beforehand... Hmm, I feel a little sorry for Mr. Saber."

Joan of Arc and Fiore stared at each other, and the electric currents emanating from their eyes collided violently, creating a static-like sound in the air.

"Oh dear, what is there to sympathize with?"

Ruler said with a forced smile, "Look how happy Mr. Saber is."

To be able to go on a date with a beautiful older sister like me who is both gentle and considerate... right?

Shirou: "Y-yes..."

Fiore covered her lips, her expression sarcastic: "Is that so? I can't tell at all~"

Mr. Saber, please speak up if you are troubled by this.

You are, after all, a gentle gentleman…

However, if some things aren't discussed openly and clearly, people might misunderstand your meaning and take advantage of you.

A saintess renowned throughout history for her eloquence, and a young girl who becomes the head of a magician's family—

The two sides refused to give in and exchanged sarcastic remarks for quite some time before finally calling a truce.

Incidentally, Shirou, caught in the middle, kept sending distress signals to Mordred, but the kid just watched the show with glee.

"Dad is so popular!"

Frankenstein muttered as he licked his ice cream.

Volume 5, Chapter 229: The All-Powerful Humanoid Succubus Shirou

Finally, Jeanne went to Fiore's room in Shirou's place to attend the war meeting, while Shirou himself stayed in the meeting room to play bridge with Mordred.

"So, what is the topic of discussion?"

"Actually, it's about Uncle Danic's rampage."

After Fiore said that, Joan of Arc's expression turned serious.

"...So, there's something more urgent right now than stopping Amakusa Shiro."

Lancer, Vlad III —

He is currently lurking somewhere in this city, and if left unchecked, he will cause unimaginable disaster.

Fiore paused for a moment, then said, "Ruler... I want to ask you for a favor."

"You want my help in defeating the 'Black' spearmen, right?"

"Yes, no matter what, even if Uncle Danic becomes like that, it is still a family matter of the Thousand World Tree."

If I could, I would like to use the power of the Yggdrasil to bring my uncle peace... but with our current strength, we simply cannot contend with him.

Fiore spoke while observing Joan of Arc's reaction.

"I see. You're concerned that this might conflict with my role as the adjudicator, is that right?"

Fiore said, "That's right, after all, it's about stepping forward to subdue specific Servants."

Jeanne d'Arc said, "Please rest assured, the actions of the 'Black' Lancers have seriously violated the order of the Holy Grail War."

Even in a normal Holy Grail War, after Lancer became like that, it's hard to believe he was still qualified to fight for the Holy Grail.

Vlad III, having freed the "bloodline," became the monster Count Dracula.

Although he has lost his rationality, he is stronger than Lancer, the guardian of Romania—but that's not the point.

The key point is that Count Dracula possesses the vampire powers known to the world.

Soldiers who turn humans into their servants through blood-sucking, and then these soldiers attack other humans...

Just imagining it makes Joan of Arc's scalp tingle.

Following the terrifying legend of "Jack the Ripper," is Romania about to witness an even more horrifying "Wallachia Night"?

This absolutely cannot be allowed to happen...!!

Fiore said, "I understand. Then let's schedule the search for Lancer for tomorrow during the day."

Lancer, now a vampire, gained immense power, but also acquired the vampire's weakness—a fear of sunlight.

Therefore, Fiore scheduled the operation for daytime when vampires' abilities were weakened.

But... Joan of Arc didn't think so.

The saintess said with a solemn expression, "If we don't deal with Lancer now, dozens or even hundreds of people may die tonight."

Fiore agreed with her: "...Yes, you're right."

"Then please prepare yourselves briefly and meet at the city gate. I'll go contact Archer and the others."

Joan of Arc said, "No problem, but I hope that Al... the 'Black' Swordsman's soldiers won't participate in tonight's operation, is that alright?"

Fiore gave Joan of Arc a complicated look, and the latter quickly explained:

"It's not what you think! Saber has been fighting for several days in a row, and he's already exhausted!"

It was thanks to him that Caster's attack was stopped. I hope he can get a good rest tonight!

There was absolutely no intention to favor him!

"I didn't think that way, please don't get so agitated."

"Well."

Joan of Arc secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Holy Grail War began, Saber has been fighting almost every night. It wouldn't hurt to let him rest for one night tonight.

"Thank you. Then it will be up to me and the members of the 'Black' faction, and preferably the 'Red' swordsmen as well..."

Fiore looked embarrassed: "If possible, please don't ask the 'Red' Swordsman for help."

"why?"

Upon hearing Joan of Arc's question, Fiore seemed hesitant to speak, and Caules, unable to bear it any longer, stepped in to explain:

"The Master of the 'Crimson' Swordsman is a member of the Mage's Association. We don't want to owe them a favor if possible."

"Furthermore, we can't say for sure that he has no connection with Amakusa Shiro, can we?"

Joan of Arc nodded in agreement.

Although Shirou trusts Shishikai completely, that guy in sunglasses... doesn't really look like a good person.

Ultimately, the team selected for tonight's operation was Ruler, Archer, Rider, and Berserker.

Since the opponent is a vampire who can assimilate enemies into their familiars, the Master and the Homunculus are not only useless, but will also become a burden.

After asking Shirou to help protect the magicians of Yggdrasil, Jeanne d'Arc left with the Servants of the "Black" faction.

……

……

A crisp sound rang out in the courtyard.

A wooden spear, roughly the length of a battle axe, clashed violently with a wooden sword modeled after a two-handed sword.
