But then he turned to the bushes outside the Scarlet Devil Mansion gate:

"And you! Miss Lily and Illya, stop peeking over there~"

In the moonlight, the bushes shook violently several times.

The blonde knight stood up awkwardly, a few leaves still hanging on her armor;

The silver-haired magical girl poked her head out from behind her, her tongue sticking out, her ruby ​​staff gleaming in the night.

……

"So the gap between vampires and dead apostles is so huge?"

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, listening to Toosaka Rin's story with a little surprise, a thoughtful glimmer in his eyes.

"Humph!"

Remlia suddenly jumped down from the high chair lightly, her small bat wings slightly opened due to her emotional fluctuations, casting a trembling shadow in the moonlight.

She stood with her hands on her hips, her bright red eyes flashing with displeasure, but her childish voice carried an ancient majesty that didn't match her appearance:

"Don't compare us to those who can't even control their blood-sucking urges!"

The young voice carries a dignity that does not match his appearance.

"The very comparison is an insult to us!"

Toosaka Rin's face flushed instantly, and a hint of panic flashed in her sapphire eyes.

She subconsciously took a half step back, her fingers unconsciously twisting the folds of her skirt:

"I'm so sorry..."

She bowed slightly, her voice getting softer and softer.

"It was my mistake to admit it at first sight..."

The magician's pride caused her delicate chin to tremble slightly, and the moonlight cast fine shadows on her drooping eyelashes.

For a moment, the only sounds in the courtyard were the sound of the fountain and the fluttering of bats' wings in the distance.

Chapter 63 You look a bit like her and I panicked~

"Hmm~"

The pure white knight, Kiriri, was sitting at the dining table in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, holding Sakuya's specially made strawberry cake in both hands, squinting her eyes happily.

The iconic aho-hair on her head danced happily as if it had life, casting a playful shadow in the candlelight.

Behind the European-style sofa not far away, two figures were squatting stealthily in the shadows.

Bavanshi clutched Melyuchina's sleeves tightly, his gray pupils shrinking slightly in shock.

"Mei Luxin, am I seeing things right?"

She lowered her voice, her fingertips trembling unconsciously.

"That girl looks like..."

Melyuchina's dragon wings folded nervously behind her as she continued her companion's unfinished words:

"She looks exactly like the Queen..."

Her eyes were fixed on the outline of Lily's face. The lines were exactly the same as the "adult" in their memory, which made them both hold their breath.

The moonlight filtered through the stained glass, casting a colorful halo on Lily's blonde hair.

When she turned her head, the light flashing in her emerald green eyes completely matched the light in the fairy knights' memories of the king who ruled the fairy realm.

It's just less majestic and more girlish.

"This is impossible..."

Bawanshi's nails dug deep into her palms.

"Mother said she wouldn't..."

Melyuchina suddenly pressed her companion's shoulders. This was the first time these two fairies showed such concern for each other.

"Shh—she's looking over here!"

Lily seemed to have noticed something and tilted her head in confusion, her ahoge turning towards the sofa like a radar.

The two goblin knights had already retreated into the shadows, leaving only a few fallen feathers as proof that someone had stayed here.

"strangeness?"

The knight girl tilted her head, her golden hair swaying slightly with the movement.

A hint of confusion flashed in her green eyes, and the silver fork in her hand hung in the air, reflecting the candlelight.

“I just felt someone coming…”

But this doubt only lasted for a moment.

She shrugged lightly and quickly returned her attention to the exquisite dessert in front of her.

The silver fork made a crisp sound when it hit the porcelain plate.

"Well, forget it~"

She hummed a little tune happily and continued this great eating activity.

She was completely unaware of the cream on the corner of her mouth, just like an ordinary greedy girl. It was impossible to tell where her sharp intuition just now came from.

……

"Um..."

Melyuchina narrowed her golden dragon-like eyes and finally slowly shifted her gaze away from the knight girl.

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

“It’s not incomprehensible actually…”

She suddenly turned to the pink-haired fairy beside her, and her voice was a little inquiring:

"Bawanshi! Aren't you also summoned by the Holy Grail?"

"Eh?"

Bawanxi was secretly eating the dessert on the plate and almost choked when she heard this.

"Should, should it be considered so?"

She tilted her head, recalling the scene when she was summoned, her pink hair swaying slightly with the movement, and finally nodded uncertainly.

Melyuchina stroked her chin thoughtfully:

"If that's the case, it's not impossible to explain..."

She shook her head slightly, her long silver hair shimmering like a metallic luster under the candlelight.

"It's not impossible that someone who looks like the Queen existed in history. After all, the time record we were in previously is not included in the official history..."

Having said this, she suddenly paused, and her golden pupils suddenly contracted:

"Perhaps this knight is someone who was very close to the Queen in the official history?"

The Dragon Fairy's fingertips unconsciously scratched a mark on the table, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes:

"Like...King Arthur?"

"That makes sense..."

Bawanshi touched her chin thoughtfully, her pink hair swaying slightly as she nodded.

She narrowed her eyes and reluctantly accepted the statement.

"You two..."

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands gently covered the heads of the two fairy knights.

Zhou Yuan's helpless voice came from behind them:

"What are you mumbling about here?"

His fingertips rubbed their hair, his movements gentle but irresistible.

Melyuchina's silver hair was rubbed until it curled up slightly, and Bawanshi's pink ahoge stood up directly.

"Okay, come with me."

Zhou Yuan withdrew his hand, with a smile in his voice.

"There are other things to do."

The candlelight cast a long shadow behind him, completely enveloping the two goblin knights.

Melyuchina stood up with a curious look on her face and followed Zhou Yuan closely;

Bawanxi pouted and stuffed the last biscuit into her mouth before leaving.

--------------

It is indeed worthy of being called the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The scale of the venues and rooms inside is far greater than what can be seen from the outside.

From the moment you step through the door, the space seems to be twisted and expanded by some magic. The corridor stretches to no end and the halls are spacious enough to accommodate an army.

This counterintuitive spatial structure makes people wonder whether the entire building is under a permanent space extension spell.

Therefore, in such a magical mansion, the sudden appearance of a luxurious conference room that could accommodate dozens of people seemed to be reasonable.

probably.

……

Zhou Yuan sat upright on the main seat in the center of the conference room, his fingers tapping lightly on the gilded edge of the long mahogany table.

His eyes slowly swept over everyone present:

"Everyone here is a participant in this Holy Grail War."

His voice was not loud, but it had a strange penetrating power and echoed clearly in every corner of the hall.

The light from the crystal chandelier cast shadows of varying depths on his angular profile, adding a touch of majesty to him.

"Therefore, it is necessary for us to hold a brief meeting here to discuss the current situation."

On both sides of the long table, the participants had different expressions.

Toosaka Rin maintained a standard aristocratic sitting posture, but her slender fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the teacup, revealing her inner anxiety;

Lily stood quietly behind her like a drawn sword, her silver-white knight armor gleaming coldly under the light, her emerald green eyes scanning the entire room warily;

Illya placed her hands obediently on her knees, her ruby ​​eyes sparkling with curiosity, like a child waiting for a story to begin;

Iwanaga Kotoko held her chin with one hand and tapped the table lightly with the other hand. Her narrowed eyes flashed with a shrewd light, as if she was calculating something.

Shuten-doji is...

Well, this big monster didn’t feel nervous at all. He was still lying lazily on the table, and even played with the ends of his hair out of boredom.

At the other end of the long table, two goblin knights had already begun a silent contest—

Melyuchina's dragon tail swung dangerously, and Bavanshi bared his fangs, unwilling to be outdone. The air between the two seemed to be about to burst into sparks.

"First things first!"

Zhou Yuan cleared his throat, and the sound echoed in the conference room.

He crossed his hands on the table, his eyes becoming sharp.

"It has been confirmed that the foundation of this Holy Grail War has been artificially modified."

His fingertips tapped lightly on the table.

"All the Servants here should be able to sense that their current state is abnormal, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Bawanxi, who was originally bored, suddenly froze.

She seemed to suddenly remember something -

The moment before being summoned, that voice with a sweet smile still lingers in my ears:

"I hope you like the gift I prepared for you..."
