In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

Was the reason she kept her distance from him before also because of this man named Ian?

Oops, ** (Celtic swear word).

Who can make an older woman's heart flutter?

What level is that?

And speaking of which... the name Ian sounds somewhat familiar.

Cú Chulainn grew increasingly curious—if given the chance, he would love to see just what kind of person could have captured the heart of this thousand-year-old master craftsman.

If all else fails, making such a wish using the Holy Grail is not out of the question.

of course.

Thinking is one thing, doing is another.

Although Cú Chulainn had many strange ideas in his mind that he wanted to verify.

but--

He would never mention these things in front of Scáthach.

On the one hand, he was afraid that if the old woman's sensitive spot was hit, she would become angry and take her resentment out on him.

on the other hand.

He still respected his mentor quite a bit, not to mention that he had been summoned by her as Lancer in the Holy Grail War.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, one should not joke about such things.

not to mention--

If the master can truly achieve a breakthrough in their emotional connection, then it might not necessarily be a bad thing.

after all……

She was indeed very lonely.

Far away.

Cú Chulainn returned to reality.

As an opponent, he absolutely acknowledges the Rider before him.

Although the other party was a rather beautiful girl, her horsemanship skills were not impractical.

The white horse beneath her was also of excellent quality.

if you can--

Cú Chulainn really wanted to have a good fight with her.

only--

Not now.

As a Lancer, he sensed his mentor Scáthach's unwavering determination to win the Holy Grail War.

Therefore, we must adopt the method with the highest probability of success.

And such a method does indeed exist.

Her mentor, Scáthach, was not only a genius in the use of guns.

Her skill in magic is also quite remarkable—which is why she was recognized by the Holy Grail as a magician and was able to participate in this Holy Grail War.

This is a meticulously planned trap.

Scáthach had already unleashed her magic in the vicinity.

As a "pawn," Cú Chulainn's task was to feign defeat and lure the Rider and her Master to this vicinity.

of course.

Although it was said to be a feigned retreat, Cú Chulainn was indeed badly beaten.

After all, Rider and her warhorse are not just for show.

As a Lancer, Cú Chulainn possesses the abilities of "Battle Continuation" and "Return to the Beginning".

The former would allow him to survive even if he suffered severe injuries;

The latter ensures that he can escape at crucial moments, rather than having to face certain harm head-on.

Even so, Cú Chulainn knew that this was not a panacea.

The Rider and her Master before us are indeed quite formidable.

Old woman, shouldn't you be here by now?

Cú Chulainn silently observed his surroundings, gripping his Gáe Bolg spear tightly, adopting the posture of a defeated man struggling to defend himself.

at last.

The situation began to turn around after the defeat.

Vivian, intent on seizing this first victory, was completely unaware that a figure had appeared in the shadows.

That's Scáthach.

At this moment, she had already used magic to weave herself battle attire—a misleading outfit sufficient to conceal her identity and prevent others from discovering the truth.

The magic trick she had prepared also took effect at that moment.

That's something only a runic magic genius like her could do.

Scáthach's hunting has always been about efficiency.

After all, she often faces extremely powerful opponents, and even a single chance to struggle could lead to a counterattack.

and so--

Aside from magic, the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom opted for a return to simplicity.

That is to throw his Gae Bolg Alternative in a physical way, rather than in the form of a Noble Phantasm.

In this way, it is no longer a magical concept that causes harm.

And any defenses set up against magic attacks would become meaningless.

of course.

This places high demands on the user – after all, there's no magic to enhance their abilities.

But Scáthach has absolutely nothing to worry about.

because--

She is the embodiment of a gun!

Phew!

The Gae Bolg Alternative, which had been thrown, flew towards Vivian.

As a witch's servant, Artoria was completely focused on fighting Lancer and was unaware of the attack that threatened her Master.

By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.

“Master——!”

Vivian, who had been startled by Artoria's exclamation, also noticed the spear flying towards her.

She tried to activate her prepared defensive magic, but found it suppressed by Scáthach's setup.

It's too late to be of any use before the gun pierces you!

This is... a certain death trap?!

However, the final result exceeded everyone's expectations.

hiss-

The Gae Bolg Alternative did indeed hit someone.

But that wasn't Vivian.

Suddenly, Ian appeared in front of her—something that Scáthach and Cú Chulainn hadn't anticipated at all, so they couldn't stop him.

The next moment, blood splattered.

The man used his own body to shield Vivian from the attack of the Gae Bolg Alternative.

now--

She was not his master, yet she received his knightly protection.

336. Morgan's complete breakdown / Scáthach's escape / Sakura wants to take action against her teacher (4k)

This was a scene that no one present had expected.

The dark red Gae Bolg Alternative pierced Ian's body from behind.

The spear that was supposed to pierce Vivian was abruptly deflected.

There was a sizzling sound.

The Gae Bolg Alternative pierced through the man's body from another part and finally stopped in front of the witch.

It is certain that without Ian as a "shield," Vivian would probably already be a victim of Scáthach's spear.

"..."

The scene was so shocking that Vivian was speechless.

The witch's face was covered in Ian's blood.

She felt her mind go blank—this was the first time she had ever had such a moment where she had absolutely no idea what to do.

"..."

[Your emotions are sealed by Command Spells, and you don't even know why you did what you did.]

But the moment she realized the Gae Bolg Alternative had been thrown at Vivian,...
