Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Lion's Robbery: "They certainly know how to pick their timing. They chose a time when Black's strength was greatly diminished. And is this a case of luring the tiger away from the mountain?"

Fiore: "This must have been a fluke; Jack hadn't planned for this."

Jack: "Hmph, are you underestimating me?"

Fiore: "I'm just telling the truth."

Fiore: "But Corles, never do anything so dangerous again."

By searching for clues in sync with the deceased, Kaures was essentially experiencing the agony of being burned alive, which could easily lead to brain death.

Koles: "I'm sorry, sister."

[At the Thousand World Tree, Sieg was sparring with Tu'er outside when they were suddenly attacked by the fog.]

[The girl in the picture is the android who led the response to Sieg last night; she's also the temporary leader of the androids.]

Unfortunately, the other person only has two to three months to live.

[A sudden fog descended upon the Thousand World Tree Castle. Sieg, unaware of the fog's danger, was caught off guard and fell directly into its trap.]

However, thanks to Siegfried's heart, Siegfried barely managed to hold on, taking Tull back to the castle. After settling them in, they planned to go out and rescue the other homunculus.

Gordes, who arrived on the scene, gave Sieg a fragment of a scroll woven by Arachne (the spider woman who challenged Athena). Wearing it on his face could protect him from some of the foul air, but it couldn't protect his eyes.

[Climbing to the rooftop, risking their lives, they finally rescued the three androids.]

Unfortunately, the last android rescued was already dead.

Just then, the sound of shattering glass echoed from inside the castle, followed by Fiore's scream.

Enraged, Sieg disregarded his own condition and rushed towards the source of the sound, unstoppable even by Gold.

Zieg: "..."

Joan of Arc: "You have done your best."

Zig: "I know, but it's still hard to watch them die in front of me."

Joan of Arc: "It's alright. Having this feeling proves that you truly care about them."

Fiore, seeing the communication suddenly cut off, also realized something was wrong.

She hurriedly maneuvered her wheelchair towards Danic's study, where magical artifacts for defense were kept.

But what was once a mere thirty meters now feels exceptionally long.

Seeing the white mist appearing outside the window, Fiore grew even more anxious.

Just after she broke the seal on the door, Jack found her and burst in through the window.

Fiore hurriedly went inside and locked the door, but it was just an ordinary wooden door; it was questionable whether it could even last five seconds.

The next moment, Jack smashed through the door and burst in.

However, Jack didn't kill her directly. Instead, he played a cat-and-mouse game, knocking away whichever Mystic Code Fiore tried to take with a throwing knife.

Fiore didn't just sit idly by; she used a misleading tactic, making Jack think she was going to get the briefcase on the table, when in fact she was going to retrieve the prosthetic limb that was displayed outside.

The briefcase is the enhanced Mystic Code she's currently using, while the prosthetic limb is the older version.

At this point, she no longer had the option to be picky.

"Synchronized Education!"

"Mars, the Iron-Fisted Warrior!"

[The prosthetic limbs quickly wrapped around Fiore's back and expanded into four arms, unleashing a barrage of light projectiles.]

Although Jack has been temporarily driven back, the crisis is not over; the fog has already drifted into the house.

"The entire arm moves automatically—the objective is set to 'get rid of the fog!'"

Fiore quickly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and closed her eyes, then smashed through the window and rushed inside.

There is no turning back; we must fight to the death to survive.

[My skin felt like it was about to ulcerate because Jack's fog was the sulfuric acid fog of London after the Industrial Revolution.]

Although the prosthetic limbs are unaffected by the fog, once Fiore enters it, she is destined to be captured by Jack.

[Woman, mist, night—Jack's Noble Phantasm activation elements are complete.]

"Three—two—one—zero!"

The prosthetic limb, capable of sensing body temperature, immediately fired a light blast at Jack in retaliation, but to no avail.

【"sand..."】

[The prosthetic limb ceases to function, and Fiore collapses tragically to the ground.]

Just as Jack was about to finish off Fiore, Chiron finally returned.

Koles: "Phew, that was close."

Gold: "Seriously, don't you have Command Seals? Why aren't you using them now!"

Fiore: "I'm sorry..."

Shiki-Kai-Li: "After all, she's still a young girl. In this situation, her mind would probably go blank. How could she calmly use Command Seals?"

Chiron: "I'm sorry to have put you in such danger."

Fiore: "It's none of your business; we were too careless."

In the video, they were so focused on the red team that they underestimated Jack, the bomb.

The overwhelming killing intent instilled fear in Jack, causing him to retreat into the fog and disappear.

However, just as she was about to completely disappear into the mist, her arm was suddenly severed by an attack.

[It was Zieg, who, though in great pain in the fog, could not express the rage burning within him.]

Jack: "I'm going to kill you!"

[Zig: "That's my line."]

Jack gritted his teeth, then vanished into the fog, which dissipated as well.

Afu: "This is the first time I've seen you so angry."

Joan of Arc: "The death of his compatriot, who thought he could live a peaceful life, must have been a great blow to him."

"Two days. We must deal with that assassin within these two days."

Following this attack, everyone unanimously decided to eliminate Jack, this unstable element, and Sieg agreed.

However, they only have two days; they can't waste too much time on Jack.

Fortunately, after this attack, they have a general understanding of Jack's abilities and can formulate countermeasures.

Therefore, Sieg decides to act as a decoy to lure Jack out.

[Afu: "Do you know her?"]

"No, forget about whether we've ever spoken; I've never even met her. But so what? Does that mean we can't be outraged just because we're the same race?"

[Sieg said seriously, "Even if I die in defeat, the Thousand World Tree will still retain the master's authority. As long as the master's authority is transferred immediately, the cavalry will not disappear. Logically speaking, I think it's most ideal for me to act as bait."]

【"Fool!!!"】

[Afu slapped Zig across the face and ran out crying.]

[Zig: Was it my fault just now?]

Fiore: "Uh... um, I guess so."

[Chiron: Well, that was definitely a bit of an overstatement.]

[Joan of Arc: "Sieg, you should try to learn to understand other people's feelings. Remember to go find Rider later and apologize to him."]

[Zig: "I understand."]

Afu: "Idiot! Sieg, you big idiot!"

Zig: "Um, I..."

Joan of Arc: "It seems Sieg still has a lot to learn."

Siegfried: "It's alright. You've only been learning for a few days. Take it slow."

Rin Tohsaka: "Hey, don't you guys see something's off?! They're two men, but they're acting out a romance drama!"

Kenneth: "Ahem, well, that is indeed a bit..."

Feng Xi: "Children shouldn't learn this."

Serenika: "Crackling sound (sound of gritting teeth)..."

[The night passed, and to cheer Sieg up, Joan of Arc took him for a stroll in the city, but the atmosphere was clearly off.]

Watching the interaction between the two, everyone could almost smell the sweet and sour scent of romance.

The naive Sieg even asked Joan of Arc if she could have children, making her blush deeply.

Rin Tohsaka: "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Sieg-kun to be so skilled."

Ishtar: "Does this count as being bisexual?"
