A card with a mysterious pattern sat on the bedside table, projecting a pale blue phantom of a young man who looked down at the android on the bed, giving precise instructions even across the physical distance.

"Not only that, he also has symptoms of overwork, right?"

Inside the room, Artoria also dispelled her spirit form and looked at the unconscious, pained android with some concern.

"Well, after all, I've never walked even once in my life. This is probably the first time I've ever stood up on my own."

Shuoyue withdrew her gaze emotionlessly, only feeling a ripple of emotion when she saw the worry on Artoria's face, though she felt helpless in her heart.

The personality differences between the Master and the Servant are clearly evident at this moment.

Without a doubt, the unconscious android is Sieg, the original protagonist of Alicization.

Sieg's life was legendary and lucky; his luck surpassed that of any protagonist in the Fate series.

Born as a supply android, he had only a three-year lifespan and even his consciousness was very weak. However, he awakened the will to survive, used magic to break the glass wall of the incubation tank, escaped, and was picked up and hidden by Alstorford. Not long after, taking advantage of the gap in the Red and Black War, he was taken away from the castle by Alstorford.

Lady Luck continued to favor him, as Siegfried sacrificed himself to save him, offering the Dragon Heart so that he could live a healthy life, even at the cost of dragging the entire Black faction into a disadvantageous situation.

However, after obtaining the Dragon Heart, this protagonist's actions became increasingly outrageous. First, he formed a bond with Jeanne d'Arc, who came to investigate the Black Anomaly, and Jeanne d'Arc paid excessive attention to him because of the skill revelation. Then, he interfered in the Red and Black War, and was resurrected by Frankenstein's self-destruction due to the activation of the Dragon Heart by lightning (he underwent heart resuscitation surgery), thus gaining the cheat ability to transform into Siegfried for three minutes—this is how Ultraman got his name.

After that, Sieg made a contract with Astolfo, who had lost his Master, to free the homunculus. In the final battle, he first killed Karna, then Amakusa Shirou, and finally transformed into a dragon, taking the Greater Grail to the other side of the world to save the world and humanity.

You thought that was the end, that the legend was over? No, the most outrageous part is that this newborn actually won over Joan of Arc. Joan spent countless years for him, finally able to leave the Throne of Heroes and travel to the other side of the world to meet Sieg. In the end, the boy and girl embarked on a journey around the world—truly a cause for celebration!

- Strange.

Even though Shuoyue was a relatively calm person in her previous life, she still forced herself to finish reading the light novel after watching the drama. It was only with the help of her best friend that she was able to barely rescue the two saintesses of Gary from his and Leonardo da Vinci's clutches.

At least Higashide devoted a significant portion of the book to describing Joan of Arc's psychology; the process of this Saint of Orleans falling in love with Sieg was relatively normal. As for the anime... well, let's not even mention it.

The 5.2 rating on Bilibili speaks for itself.

To prevent the emergence of bugs like 'Ultraman Flying' who are overpowered by the protagonist's halo, Shuoyue naturally prefers to nip the danger in the bud—that is, to directly kill or seal Sieg, and deal with anything else after I've finished fighting.

As King Arthur, with absolute moral high ground, Artoria could never agree to this. If Shuoyue still had any sense, she would never do something that would lower her own favorability.

So the question is, what should we do with this android?

After much thought, Shuoyue finally came to a conclusion.

Since they can't get rid of the protagonist, why not just use their advanced revolutionary theories and political ideas to lead the protagonist astray?

From a certain perspective, Sieg's very existence caused Black Siegfried to lose his heart, Black Master to die, Black Astolfo to temporarily leave the Dark Faction, and even forced the Dark Faction to ban the Infinite Mana Pool, which was the mana diversion system created by Gordes...

In other words, isn't this android a perfect piece to disrupt the black side's moves?

Moreover, it was factory formatted and hadn't undergone any ideological reformation!

All Shuoyue needs to do is paint this blank sheet of paper with her own colors, and get Sieg to switch sides to the 'blue' camp!

“After a simple treatment, we don’t need to get involved in the rest.” While instructing Liu Daolingxia on how to treat him, Shuoyue said in a calm voice, “Leave him to Afu… that is, Astolfo. We have more important things to do tonight.”

"In that case, will the androids not remember our rescue after they wake up?"

“Lingxia, we are saving people, not making a deal.” Artoria gently shook her head, denying Lingxia’s concerns.

Adhering to chivalry, she naturally wouldn't see rescuing androids as something worthy of reward, but Shuoyue didn't think so.

"Don't worry, he won't." Shuoyue smiled in the light and shadow, but that smile carried a hint of mockery and pity.

"After all, it was heroes who saved him."

How could the androids, who grew up under the influence of the glorious heroes who sang the praises of life, possibly forget this kindness?

Artoria remained silent, looking at the sneering Sakumoku, her sense of rift growing stronger.

Why did Shuoyueqing turn out like this?

But in the end, she remained silent. After the treatment, Liu Daolingxia helped the weakened android out, and soon returned to the room, sitting in front of the projected Shuoyue.

"I have entrusted it to Miss Astolfo, and she has promised that I will handle it properly."

"Miss..." Shuoyue sensed something was wrong, pondered for a moment, and didn't say anything more.

Who knows, there might be some fun to see later?

Putting aside her extraneous thoughts, Shuoyue calmed herself down and looked at Liu Daolingxia: "Are you ready?"

"Hmm." Apart from the magician card used for disguise and the projection card used for communication, Rokudou Reika took out another card from her pocket and infused it with magic.

As the patterns on the card gradually brightened, Shuoyue and Liudao Lingxia closed their eyes at the same time.

[Displacement Magic, Unfold]

[Start sharing your field of vision]

Sometime later, Jack had disappeared from the room, and Artoria once again grasped the Crimson Demon Spear, which did not belong to her, to protect the unconscious Rokudou Reika.

Aside from Artoria, who conceals her true name and hides her strength, Rokudou Reika also has a trump card in her hand—that is, the 'Black' Jack the Ripper, whom she has truly summoned.

When everyone's attention was drawn to the ahoge (cowlick), who would have thought that the little child in the cloak next to Rokudou Reika was also a Servant?

Shuoyue would not let the Black Party's contempt go unpunished. Tonight, he would use Little Jack to do something.

Even the most powerful assassin might not be able to breach the impregnable fortress of Mirenia.

However, if an attack is launched from inside the fortress, assassins with 'Scent Concealment' will have an unexpected effect.

Through the magic of sharing perspectives, Shuoyue was able to direct Xiaojie's actions from a first-person perspective, with the help of Liudao Lingxia as an intermediary.

"Mom! Not only Lingxia's mom, but Shuoyue's mom is here too!"

Shedding his cloak and donning a bodysuit, he moved like a cat through the castle of night. Little Jack deftly darted past a group of androids, simultaneously giving a warm welcome to New Moon's 'mother'.

"I've told you so many times, I'm not your mother..."

"Hmm? Liudao Lingxia's mother, Artoria's mother, Shuoyue's mother... that's right?"

"Turn left and follow the path of the spiritual vein down." Lingxia's consciousness didn't make a sound, but she was probably chuckling to herself. Shuoyue, who had switched consciousness, was utterly helpless. "Mom is a term used to describe women... If you really can't, you can call me Dad."

"Hey, Dad? What's that...? Can it kill him?"

The small shadow stopped, its dagger pointed directly at the android guarding the door.

"We can't kill them! We absolutely must kill them, whether they're Dad or androids! Keep moving forward!"

"Oh...Shuoyue's mom is so fierce (whispering)..."

"I—! Forget it, don't get angry. I can't get angry with a child. I'll discipline him slowly later. Whew... I'll go out the window, go around the rooftop, and then take another staircase."

"Okay, Mommy Shuoyue!" the little girl replied energetically.

……

Perhaps Amakusa and Danic both prepared for sixty years, but no one understands the Greater Grail better than Shuoyue.

Under the precise guidance of the new moon, Little Jack evaded one pair of android guards after another and broke through one magical barrier after another. Soon, she had penetrated deep into the underground of the Mirenia Fortress.

"This is it, we're here."

Shuoyue's voice trembled slightly, and Little Jack stopped, looking at the scenery ahead, his jewel-like pupils sparkling, and he uttered the exclamation of a child seeing something beautiful.

"Wow……"

Before them, the golden form of the saint shone with a noble light.

This is the Great Grail.

Chapter 401 Chiron's Unexpected Visit

Chapter 402 Chiron's Unexpected Visit

A strong tremor was felt. Magic was being expelled from the severed nerves. The soul was melting, dissolving, and melting away. Although consciousness was clear, thought was impossible. Weak instincts were lamenting something, but to "him," it was nothing more than the faint cry of a wild beast.

Unable to know, unable to think. Completely incapable of constructing logic. Unable to assert oneself, unable even to assert one's own existence. Only innate knowledge has transformed feelings that have remained elusive and intangible until now into words.

—I am alive.

It's a simple fact. A fact that even a sobbing, crying baby can subconsciously understand, yet he still doesn't know what it means to be alive.

He is a being created based on magic circuits, possessing an astonishing understanding of knowledge, but lacking a sense of being alive.

No matter how deformed his creation was, his five senses still functioned faithfully, and his organ called 'ear' received sound waves from the outside world.

"Is he still alive?" It was a clear voice.

"Yes, but... it's very difficult to live a meaningful life. I'm afraid I can only survive for three years." The deep voice said this.

What followed was silence, a sound he knew all too well.

During the long days of mana supplying the tank, all he could hear were these empty echoes and meaningless silences.

So he broke the glass trough and forced himself to leave, just to escape the suffocating ailment that was weighing him down.

Before long, the two voices tore through the curtain that was gradually closing in.

I'm so sorry I've dirtied your bed.

"It's alright... but I have a question for you: why did you want to save him?"

Why did you save me?

So, it turns out that he was the one who saved me?

Suddenly, a certain power was injected into his heart, and the frail android once again commanded himself to defy his instincts, forcibly opening his eyelids and turning his head.

What came into view was a handsome young man with a pink ponytail, wearing light armor, and a blond, athletic man standing beside him, looking slightly troubled.

"Ah, you're awake."

Astolfo noticed the movement on the bed, waving enthusiastically at the homunculus while answering Chiron's question.

"Because I wanted to save him."

His words were devoid of any forcefulness. He simply wanted to save someone. It was simple and natural. Precisely because of this, it's an act that few others could perform.

However, Astolfo's next words changed Chiron's expression.

"Besides, I wasn't the one who actually helped him, was I?"

What's the meaning? "

"Ah, right, after all, I brought him to your room—actually, I didn't find this child myself, but rather Miss Liudao Lingxia entrusted him to me."

"Six-Direction Lingxia? That means... the Osare clan?"
