Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

"Even Caster will need a considerable amount of time to completely control Saber. We must get there as soon as possible and defeat Caster before Saber is controlled."

Rin Tohsaka and Archer (Red Archer) have unusually reached a consensus and will depart once they are ready.

C's Mom: "Hehe, you little brat, you seem to underestimate me."

Rin Tohsaka: "Hmph, say whatever you want, I'll prove you wrong in a minute."

C's Mom: "Then I'll wait and see."

[At Ryudong Temple.]

The evening breeze ruffled the gatekeeper's long hair, and his gaze, somewhat forlorn, fell upon the stone steps below.

No Servants came to visit again today.

The surrounding buildings were intact, as if everything was normal, but the truth was—

[Hercules, Cú Chulainn, Medusa—these Servants have all come before our King, but they were all driven back by Kojiro.]

[Although two of those times were near-death experiences (Medusa: 凸(艹皿艹)).]

Gina: "They actually repelled Hercules?! ┌(。Д。)┐!"

Zabiko: "It seems we all underestimated Kojiro's strength."

The gatekeeper said, "Haha, now you know how valuable I am."

Dog Bro: "Hey! What about me?!"

Artoria: "As expected of a famous swordsman, shall we have a match?"

The gatekeeper said, "No problem! If there's a chance, let me see the true strength of this Western king!"

Artoria: "Of course, no problem."

However, the gatekeeper was now covered in blood, leaning against the doorway in a disheveled state, his eyes revealing undisguised despair.

[Unexpectedly, Saber, with whom I made a promise, has now become that fox spirit's Servant.]

[Just now, Caster was about to leave with Artoria when, simply because Kojiro hadn't shown any humility when speaking to her, she unhesitatingly detonated a trap planted inside him, blasting open Kojiro's chest.]

[The ribs twisted and pierced the lung; it looks incredibly painful.]

[If Kojiro weren't a Heroic Spirit, he probably would have died already.]

"Our victory is already a certainty, so I'm going to collect my prize first."

[Caster, carrying a reluctant Artoria, flew into the air, beaming with pride, "A new territory and the Holy Grail. And we've even obtained a pawn called Saber. That way, even my unmotivated Master won't object to my strategy, right?"]

"It's time for this boring Holy Grail War to end. Once we get the Holy Grail, there's nothing to fear."

"Yes, no one can stop me—"

[It must be said, no wonder she's Jason's ex-wife; the two of them are truly alike.]

Watching C and her companion leave, the gatekeeper could only manage a bitter smile.

How embarrassing...

[If I looked like this, not only Miyamoto Musashi, but even that swallow from back then would laugh at me.]

The gatekeeper: "..."

This reversal came so fast, catching everyone off guard.

That wretched mother fox...

Rin Tohsaka: "I was worried about failing. Now, it's a sure thing!"

Blonde Rin: "Those who get carried away in the Holy Grail War are destined for a bad end."

C's Mom: "..."

King of Heroes: "..."

I feel like they're subtly criticizing me, but they can't say it out loud.

The moment you open your mouth, it's as if you're admitting you're in someone else's shoes.

Shortly after, Red A came to investigate and discovered that C's mother had already left for Ryudong Temple. He immediately returned to report.

He had already guessed where C-Mom would go.

Rin Tohsaka was also ready, and the two immediately set off.

[However, Rin and the others didn't know that not long after they left, the heavily injured Shirou Emiya also staggered after them.]

Chapter 502 - Movie Emperor Kotomine Kirei

[Shirou Emiya already knows how he survived in the beginning, right when Rin Tohsaka took the ruby ​​pendant.]

Only then did he realize the immense debt he owed Rin Tohsaka.

[I can't go on like this, I can't keep accepting Rin Tohsaka's help...]

But what can I do now...?

Watching Rin Tohsaka and Archer gradually disappear into the distance, Shirou Emiya collapsed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

The pain of his injuries, the pain of weakness, the feeling of helplessness—all of these were eroding Shirou Emiya's body.

Clench and unclench your fists repeatedly, staring painfully at the dim night sky.

Soon, Shirou Emiya gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand up, and continued forward.

If you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl.

How can we give up here?

The word "give up" no longer exists in Shirou Emiya's dictionary.

And the direction he was heading was precisely towards the Holy Church.

Fuyuki no Tora: "Waaaa (┭┮﹏┭┮), Go for it, Shirou!"

Zabi: "This is really too reckless."

Blonde Rin: "Unexpectedly stubborn in some ways."

Stay-at-home husband: "..."

Koles: "Is the injury still not healed? It's completely different from the recovery you showed before."

Gold: "That's the normal recovery rate, you'd say."

Lion's Robbery: "It seems that the loss of the Knight King has caused Avalon to go on strike as well."

Mordred: "Of course, that belongs to my father. This kid is just benefiting from it."

Rin Tohsaka: "The target is Church Mom? I thought that woman was going to find Illya."

Rin Tohsaka: "I'd like to see what happens when this woman meets Kirei Kotomine."

Meanwhile, at the church...

[Seeing the Command Seals in Caster's hand and Artoria already close behind him, Kirei Kotomine's face showed surprise.]

This situation was truly beyond his expectations.

[Hehe, things have taken an unexpected turn; they've become even more interesting.]

The reason C's mother came here is to take the Holy Grail directly.

She has almost finished investigating the Holy Grail War.

There are two types of Holy Grails: the Major Grail and the Minor Grail.

The Greater Grail is a large-scale magical circle constructed within Mount Enzou. It draws the necessary magical energy from the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City for its rituals and stores it there.

If the previous Holy Grail War did not deplete the remaining magical energy, the time required to store magical energy for the next war will be shortened, meaning the time limit for the next Holy Grail War will also be reduced accordingly.

However, to activate the Greater Grail, the Lesser Grail is needed as a key.

Her goal this time is the Lesser Grail, but clearly, her intelligence is inadequate.

Rin Tohsaka: "Oh—no wonder you came to the church, you didn't have enough information."

C's Mom: "Hmph, do you think everyone is like this group, able to know the past and the future?"

"Hehehe! Where is the Lesser Grail now?"

[C-Mom, with one arm around Artoria and the other rubbing her face, looked at Kirei Kotomine with a pleased expression and said, "The key should be kept here, right?"]

Ah, I'm so happy! (*≧m≦*)

[Artoria: "(∧)"]

[Our king wished to rebel, but was utterly powerless under the influence of the Command Spell.]

Altria: “!!!”

Mordred: "Stop! Release my father!"

She was so envious! She wished she were the one affectionately cuddling with her father in the video!

Mom: "Oh ho ho ho, you're jealous of me, aren't you, you love-starved little girl?"

Mordred: "What did you say?! (#`Д′)?!"
