Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

They all nodded.

The homunculus created by Yggdrasil possesses a causal link similar to that of a Servant. Although this connection is relatively weak, important information, such as death, can be transmitted regardless of location, even without conscious communication.

That's why they chose to believe Zig.

Although they lacked individuality and their emotions remained at a rather oblivious level, they still had a tendency to protect him after he escaped.

Weber: "I see."

Rin Tohsaka: "What's wrong?"

Weber: "It seems that Sieg's emotions have been transmitted to them through this connection, which is why these androids, who have always been like machines, have begun to have their own thoughts."

Zhen Gongping: "Like a savior guiding humanity."

Sieg: "...I am not a savior, nor do I have the right to be one."

Zhen Gongping: "..."

Zieg quickly calmed down and started working on his assignment with them.

Break the supply tank, destroy the magic-absorbing machine, dress the rescued comrades, and move them aside to acclimatize.

Of course, not all those rescued were survivors; victims whose magic had been completely drained also began to appear.

[After all, the previous battle was so intense.]

Looking at his fallen comrades, Sieg tried to hold back the tears welling in his eyes, but ultimately couldn't hold them back.

But there was no time for him to be sad; they had already sensed that someone was coming.

The door was pushed open, and those who entered were the few remaining Masters of the Black Faction: Fiore, Corles, and Gordes.

[It seems only three people came; Danick and Roger are both absent, which puts Zieg at a slight sigh of relief.]

After all, the fewer enemies, the better.

He was unaware that Danic was already dead.

Rin Tohsaka: "The Black Faction is really in a sorry state. Now all that's left are these people, and Chiron is the only Servant they have left."

Kenneth: "It's simply a leadership problem."

Weber: "The Yggdrasil, this family is probably finished."

The Black side has clearly lost this Holy Grail War, and with the fall of Darnic, Yggdomerena can really be declared disbanded.

[Gold: "What are you doing here!"]

[Zig: "You'll see soon enough, we're liberating them."]

[Sieg instinctively didn't give a friendly look to the person who had almost killed him.]

[Gold was about to lash out when Fiore stopped him.]

"Why would you do something like that, you android?"

[Sieg: "To be drained of magic until death, it's truly tragic."]

Fiore: "Isn't that what they were created for?"

[Zig: "This is an obligation that is imposed upon us, an obligation we are not obligated to fulfill indefinitely."]

"Wait, wait!"

Gorder interrupted them, glaring at Sieg with murderous intent, and gritted his teeth, saying, "You! You're the homunculus protected by Rider! Why, why are you interfering with us! Your roles are determined by us! You're for supplying magic! You're for chores! You're for fighting! It was all decided long ago! It was all decided long ago!"

[Zig: "We are grateful for your creation of us. But now it should be over. At this point, they probably have nothing more to do."]

[Sieg unconsciously exuded an aura that completely captivated Gold.]

Kenneth: "The attitude was alright; at least they didn't deny that they were created by the Yggdrasil."

Weber: "Well, at least they've recognized their place."

Fiore: "So, what do you plan to do next? To be honest, you, especially the combat androids, don't have much lifespan left. You simply don't have time to do anything else."

【"..."】

The androids wielding their battle axes all lowered their heads.

Unlike androids used for menial tasks and supplying magic, these androids are specially modified for combat, making them exceptionally strong in battle. However, this comes at the cost of a short lifespan.

Of course, they've probably been aware of this for a long time.

[Coles: "...Yes, that's true. At this point, there's probably nothing left for them to do."]

[Fiore: "Corles!"]

Even if it's true, sometimes it's absolutely impossible to admit it.

Koles shrugged helplessly and turned his face away.

He was simply reminded of her by the objects he saw; he saw a resemblance to Kenneth Frankenstein in them.

Chapter 223 Negotiation and Cooperation

[Fiore: "The battle isn't over yet. You android over there, you transformed into Saber in the fight just now, which means you are..."]

[Zig: "This doesn't mean I'm one of your allies; I'm here to save them!"]

"No! If you are the Saber from the Black Faction, then I am your Master!"

Gold became agitated and grabbed Sieg by the collar.

"Why, Saber! Why did you commit suicide! And for a homunculus no less! If you're unwilling to fight, then you're no longer a hero! Are you really that unhappy about being my Servant?! Answer me, Siegfried!"

With that, Gold collapsed to the ground.

Siegfried's suicide must have been a huge blow to him.

Weber: "I didn't realize that Siegfried's suicide was such a blow to him."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It must be self-doubt. His own Servant committed suicide. That must be quite a shock for a proud magician."

Rin Tohsaka: "Honestly, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

[Sieg: "...It's very regrettable that I am Saber only in appearance. I have no idea what he was thinking when he entrusted his heart to me, nor do I know what grievances he has against you."]

[Gold: "Was it my fault? I was just confused, because the situation was so chaotic! But if you think I'm wrong, just say so and I'll back down! I, I..."]

"What are you talking about? Didn't you tell him to shut up? Of course, there was nothing we could do."

At this moment, Afu also arrived.

Rin Tohsaka: "No wonder Siegfried is so taciturn, so that's the reason."

Weber: "They're probably afraid of their identities being exposed, but that's a bit of an overreaction."

[Fiore: "Rider, your Master..."]

"Huh? My current Master is Sieg."

[Afu made a startling statement, casually dropping this explosive remark.]

Fiore's expression was grim. With Chiron absent, she was no match for Astolfo, who possessed anti-magic powers.

Ilya: "Ah, this is getting interesting."

Weber: "Now the situation has completely reversed for both sides."

[Afu: "I said, isn't that enough? At least none of the androids here have any intention of fighting. Since that's the case, let's not force them."]

Fiore: "...That won't do."

Fiore's eyes were cold; unaware of what had happened, she now suspected that Afo had killed Sereneka.

[Afu: "If it were just a battle of offense and defense, that would be fine, but now the Holy Grail has been taken away too, hasn't it?"]

All the black players lowered their heads.

Yes, under these circumstances, what other way is there to turn the situation around?

[Afu: "Mr. Gold, you once told Siegfried, 'Don't speak,' because if his real name were revealed, it would indeed put him in a very fatal situation. So even if he knew you were wrong, he couldn't bring himself to say it, right?"]

【"Waaaaah..."】

Gold slumped his shoulders in dejection.

["I...I'm terrified that Ziegfeld's weaknesses are so well-known. He's such a great hero, yet I can't fully trust him. I'm always worried that he'll be stabbed in the back like he was in life..."]

Fiore: "...Uncle Gold."

[Gold: "Alright, Fiore, release the homunculus. We've already lost."]

Rin Tohsaka: "Oh, so you're starting to reflect on things? I'm starting to look at this fat old man in a new light."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "The hardest thing for a person is to know that something is wrong, but still refuse to admit it."

Webber: "Yeah, especially the magician."

Kenneth: "Weber!"

Weber: "Uh, sorry teacher, I've said too much again."

The Conqueror King: "What are you apologizing for, kid? Did you say something wrong?"

The Conqueror: "Or is it Kenneth, you're just that kind of person?"
