I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

He was silent again.

"You don't seem to have any objection to Ruler saying the Holy Grail is hers, Gilgamesh."

Iskandar looked at Gilgamesh.

Maomao also looked at Gilgamesh unkindly, putting him in the position of the "bad guy" that the Conqueror King had originally been in her mind.

"This king possesses 'all the treasures in the world,' a number so vast that I myself cannot even count them. It would be ridiculous to deny such things to me just because you have a legend."

Gilgamesh held up his face and looked at Yimi. "Compared to the Holy Grail, the treasure that truly intrigues me is the significance of that spear."

In terms of "towards divinity", he who actually lived in the Age of Gods was undoubtedly more sensitive than Iskandar, who was attributed with divinity due to legend.

What the kid just said was "The Holy Grail is hers" instead of "The Holy Grail is the Son's", right?

Iskandar seemed dissatisfied with his reaction: "You, Jin Shanshan, are you a bully? Why are you so polite to this little girl?"

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes. "To have such thoughts shows that you are a complete fool, King of Conquerors."

"That's why I told you that the Holy Grail is no good. With a Servant as powerful as Ruler, there's no need for me to lie to you."

El-Melloi finally seized the opportunity to interject again.

"Shut up, you coward who's hiding somewhere! You're not even as brave as my little kid."

Iskandar cursed El-Melloi while rubbing Waver's head.

"..."

"I'm done eating."

Yimi had already finished the whole cake after being fed by Ai Li. She stood up and stared at the chocolate that Li Xiang had removed, curious about what this black stuff tasted like.

Irisviel covered her eyes to stop her curiosity and gave Ritsuka a look that told her to finish her meal quickly.

"Oh, such a small body actually ate such a big cake, it's worthy of being called Famine."

The King of Conquerors praised him in some strange ways.

It was only after the cake took so long to react that Mr. El-Melloi noticed something was wrong: "Assassin should have been causing trouble (and dying) by now. Why?"

Ritsuka glanced at the five servants present.

Why do you say?

She glanced at Lancelot, who hadn't received his punishment yet, and clapped her hands. "It's getting late, should we go back, Ruler?"

Although it was a bit rude to leave before Rider had even spoken his wish, she needed to take advantage of a better signal to get El-Melloi to tell her the location of the Greater Holy Grail. She had been receiving signal before her arrival, but as soon as she mentioned the thief student, El-Melloi suddenly fell silent. If possible, she would try to check tonight, but she couldn't ask in front of these Servants.

"Are you leaving now?"

Mrs. Ellie was a little reluctant.

Mainly because holding the kitten makes her feel like she is holding Illya.

Ritsuka shook his head and deliberately said something to embarrass the other party: "Forget it, if Saber's Master shoots me again, I can't bear it."

Chapter 19 The cat lost his dream.

Under Arthur's tangled and apologetic gaze, Lancelot followed Imi and the others and left. Correspondingly, Lancelot also felt even more ashamed of her.

"Is that alright? You still want to follow King Arthur, right, Mr. Lancelot? From our perspective, we can't dictate your choice."

Li Xiang bit the last piece of dark chocolate and asked Lancelot, who was riding a motorcycle alongside him and Yimi, while sitting on his horse.

The cat rested quietly in her arms.

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement [Ghost Rider], and receive a 5% portal energy reward."

This world deserves criticism for only unlocking two achievements after so many days.

Lancelot closed his eyes. "If my king is unwilling to punish me here, we will have to fight for the Holy Grail in the future. But if I embarrass my king in front of other kings, then I am being unreasonable."

"Don't close your eyes when you ride a motorcycle!"

"..."

Although he said so, he really still hoped that the person would punish him from the bottom of his heart.

The Greater Holy Grail, the core of the Holy Grail War, lies hidden beneath Fuyuki, absorbing the magical power of the land. It itself isn't a physical object, but rather a ritual created by the three former families, forming the current Holy Grail system.

The Lesser Holy Grail, the most crucial component of the Holy Grail War, is used to absorb the magical power of the Servants after their defeat and ultimately connect to the other side of the world. However, it absorbed the evil of this world during the Third Holy Grail War and became contaminated.

The one carrying it was Irisviel, who had just been playing with Yimi for a long time. In other words, as long as this Holy Grail War had an outcome, Irisviel was destined to die in order to form the Lesser Holy Grail.

"If we can disintegrate the Greater Holy Grail, at least the pollution that has plagued Fuyuki City will no longer exist after the Holy Grail War. If we can resolve this, the restraining power of this world might be able to release you, Ritsuka?"

Restoring the Holy Grail System is extremely difficult.

"But even with my presence, it's unrealistic to approach the Greater Holy Grail quietly without being discovered by the Three Great Families."

"So what you said about the Holy Grail being contaminated is true?"

Lancelot lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"Don't think I'm lying just because I can't appear before you... Just like Ruler now, during the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern clan illegally summoned an extra-class Avenger. Although their own combat power might not even be as strong as Assassin in this battle, they bore all the evil of the world."

"So, the wish-granting machine we came here to find is actually just a scam..."

Lancelot's expression became much gloomier.

How despaired the noble king would be if he knew this.

The air was quiet for a while, until Yimi stretched out her claws to try to grab the chocolate from Lixiang's mouth, and she quickly ate it all.

"Speaking of which, why is it that Mr. Kong Ming is the only one talking? I haven't heard the doctor's voice in a long time."

"I'm still here..."

Roman's weak voice.

"This is because the signal has been bad lately. In order to make the most of the time we can talk, let me take up the call time. After all, Dr. Roman can't give you much advice on magic."

"That's right."

……

"Here we are, the Greater Holy Grail."

The super advanced magic furnace core has no traces of artificial construction. It looks like a natural small stone slope and looks quite eerie.

"It's just as I remember. I came to disintegrate with Tousaka, but it's about twenty years later than where you are now."

"Twenty years... Mr. Lancelot, please be alert to your surroundings. Yimi, can you find anything?"

In Ritsuka's humble opinion, it's completely impossible to tell what the Greater Holy Grail ritual is structured like.

Of course, Yimi didn't have any knowledge of magic. The only thing she had systematically learned from beginning to end was domineering power.

But almost all of her divine skills are included in the "miracle", which also plays the role of "revelation".

She recognized the principle of the technique, which could only be fully understood with the Lesser Holy Grail. This wasn't a direct acquisition of the computer's principle, but rather a direct presentation of the Greater Holy Grail's purpose before her.

Although half of the people who came here believed that the Holy Grail was a machine that could fulfill wishes, it did not change the fact that its true purpose was to enable magic to reach the source.

The third method, also known as soul materialization, can achieve the nature of infinite magic. Based on this, it is not excessive to realize certain wishes even in this life.

In Ritsuka's sight, the kitten's ears suddenly drooped.

A cat lost its dream.

"What's wrong? You suddenly seem so depressed. Even if there's nothing I can do, it's not Yimi's fault."

Yimi tugged at Ritsuka's clothes: "Master, let's go back."

Not only was there no quest in this world, it also offered no help in getting the cat home, and there weren't even many achievements to unlock. She'd be better off using a Command Spell to have the stiff-clad figure (Lancelot) help her find some pleasant-smelling grass.

"Even Ruler is helpless? He's a Servant with such a remarkable background."

Mr. El-Melloi was also getting anxious. "Isn't it okay if we just destroy this place?"

"Destruction? We can't pretend we didn't hear that."

A disembodied voice echoed throughout the space, and several figures appeared. It was Assassin, whom they had not yet seen in this Holy Grail War.

Hassan the Hundred Faces, as a Servant, has very unsatisfactory stats in all aspects. The effect of his Noble Phantasm is just to split himself into multiple parts. It might be okay to use it against a magician Master, but any servant who dares to confront any other servant in this battle will suffer a bad end.

"Yimi?"

Ritsuka looked down at the little girl.

I started being emo at a very young age.

"Mr. Lancelot, they are in your care."

"Alright, all the chains are broken!"

The sword in the lake, which had been relegated to a pitch-black demonic sword due to the Berserker class and his own inner shame, regained its original color and shone with a terrifying blue light.

Baimao: "?"

Shouldn't combat between servants focus on sparring first, learning each other's moves before releasing their Noble Phantasms?

The close-range release of the anti-military treasure flattened all the land, and also cut off a section of the nearby hillside.

Such a commotion happened next to the Holy Grail. As long as the other servants and magicians were not fools, they would definitely notice it.

No, it should be said that when they appeared here, the three great families... at least Tōsaka Tokiomi, as the host, must have known about it.

"Is it true..."

Lancelot looked at the sword in his hand.

This was not an illusion. Not only did he use such a Noble Phantasm directly, but even after releasing the Noble Phantasm once, he still did not feel any consumption.

Chapter 20 Disappointment.

"Assassin has been completely eliminated."

Kotomine Kirei, Assassin's Master and Tōsaka Tokiomi's disciple, said this indifferently. Counting the already-killed Uryu Ryunosuke, he was arguably the least engaged in this Holy Grail War. Besides obeying his teacher's orders, his only interest in the Holy Grail War was Emiya Kiritsugu.

Now maybe we need to add a Ruler.

As a human being, he lacked the most important desire. During the few years he had been affiliated with the Holy Church, he had worked in almost every department, and each time he changed positions just when he was about to be promoted.

He was very curious about whether, as a Heroic Spirit in the Christian system and a Servant who conceptualized unfair transactions, he possessed the ability to see through the desires of others.

"King, please be willing to lift a finger and clear the insects that are defiling your back garden so that the Holy Grail War can proceed as normal."

Tokiomi bowed deeply to Gilgamesh with great respect.

Gilgamesh swirled his red wine without even giving him a glance, as if he was completely indifferent to this so-called Holy Grail War.

"I've just returned from a barely passable, cheap banquet and I'm being ordered around by you. How bold of you, Tokiomi."

"I wouldn't dare to do that."

Clearly, he couldn't control the master he had summoned. To the King of Heroes, who was just looking for fun, the Master, Tōsaka Tokitoki, was less interesting than his confused disciple.

"Forget it. This time, I will forgive you."

Attacking the Greater Holy Grail was a direct provocation to the Three Great Families. Even without mentioning that, the magical power unleashed by that Noble Phantasm was far greater than that of Lancer's initial provocation.

"Mr. Lancelot, can you direct a Noble Phantasm at the Greater Holy Grail?"

Ritsuka asked.

"Fujimaru, you're really saying something shocking. I don't know what will happen, but for your own safety it's best not to do this. When you were a kid, you were definitely the kind of kid who would throw firecrackers down the sewer, right?"

That's what Mr. El-Melloi said.

"Then let's get out of here first."

"I'm afraid it's too late, Master's Master."

Lancelot raised his sword and pointed it upwards.

Accompanied by thunder, the first to arrive were, of course, the cavalrymen Iskandar. They were also the group that had no idea about the Greater Holy Grail.

"Oh, so energetic right after leaving the party? But you must be exhausted after using a Noble Phantasm, right, Warrior? If I kill you now, it would seem like I'm taking advantage of you."
