"What's wrong with you?! Tell me...what's wrong with you?!"

"nothing."

Altria's voice had become somewhat weak.

But she still forced a smile and tried to look at the man in front of her in her best light.

"It's just... fighting against the Command Spells."

Sabers (swordsmen) usually have extremely high resistance to magic.

As the best among them, Altria's performance in this regard is naturally more powerful.

Not only can she resist magic that harms herself, she can also resist the Master's Command Spells to a certain extent.

but--

This resistance comes at a price.

The more powerful the magic that needs to be fought, the more magic power Altria will consume.

But this is not right!

The Holy Grail should have enough magic power to allow Altria to maintain her condition, so how could it turn out like this?

As if seeing through Ian's thoughts, the weak Altria's lips trembled slightly, and then she began to explain:

"I...did not use the magic of the Holy Grail."

"Why?!" Ian's eyes widened. "Why don't you use it?!"

"because……"

Altria looked at the beam of light behind her.

“I feel like there’s something wrong with it.”

"Absolutely...absolutely no one can be allowed to come into contact with it."

"Otherwise... the future will be ruined."

Ian reacted in an instant.

It is absolutely impossible for a person to do something without a reason, and the same goes for heroic spirits.

As the first "Servant" to come into contact with the Holy Grail, Artoria discovered the abnormality of the Holy Grail.

She realized that this was definitely not a being that could make a wish.

and so--

She couldn't let anyone in this Holy Grail War touch it.

To this end, Artoria unleashed all her strength and won the Holy Grail War in half a day.

The purpose is to prevent the Holy Grail from coming into contact with any wishes before the possibility of calming all this down arises.

This is not her tyranny.

But it is her determination to protect the future.

This is not a dead end.

Rather, it is the doomsday she created in order to continue human order.

The swordsman who guards the Holy Grail is also the messenger waiting for hope to arrive.

This obsession of carrying everything made her become completely different from her original self - until the appearance of her beloved, all this was resolved.

"Altria, you..."

Ian held the young knight tightly in his arms.

"Why do you always think about others?"

"Think more about yourself!"

"Because... Mr. Ian said I am the king."

The black color of the armor on Altria's body gradually faded away - that was a sign of a significant consumption of magic power.

She had already been fighting for a long time, and had consumed a large amount of magic power in resisting the death order to "win the Holy Grail War", and she was already overwhelmed.

"A king cannot be selfish."

“So there’s no way I can ignore this.”

"but--"

The girl looked up at the man in front of her, tiny tears sparkling in her golden eyes.

"Mr. Ian...can I make an exception and ask you a slightly selfish question?"

"Sure, of course!" Ian replied.

"You can ask me anything you want!"

"That--"

The girl reached out her hand and stroked the man's face.

She has done this action countless times, but she still feels her heart pounding every time.

"Mr. Ian... have you ever loved me?"

"..."

Without any words, Ian lowered his head and kissed the petite Altria.

Memories of the past flashed back in the man's mind.

He wanted to violate her as he had done in the past.

But such a possibility was completely eliminated at singularity F.

The two kissed deeply until they were suffocated and separated from each other.

"Very good……"

Altria fell into Ian's arms.

"So... Mr. Ian loved me."

"That--"

"The rest is up to you."

"My hero."

"No! Altria! Don't go!"

Ian tried to grab Altria like crazy, but she slipped away like quicksand through his fingers.

In the end there was nothing left.

The man knelt on the ground like a stone statue.

"..."

Watching Altria disappear from her sight, Mash hesitated for a moment, but still walked to Ian's side.

"Senior...are you okay?"

Mashu thought that his words would not be responded to - after all, he looked very devastated.

But she didn't expect the exact opposite to happen.

"Well, I'm fine."

He stood up and answered in a hoarse voice.

"Come on, let's go get the Holy Grail back."

"Then...let's end this."

Although his tone sounded calm, Matthew knew that Ian just wanted to make himself feel normal.

Even I can see through this clumsy cover-up at a glance.

but--

There is no need to expose anything.

If he thinks this is appropriate, then so be it.

"Yeah." Matthew nodded.

"Senior, let's go take back the Holy Grail!"

Altria did not hide the Holy Grail too far away from herself.

Or rather, even if she wanted to hide, there was no point.

The Holy Grail at singularity F is continuously emitting light towards the sky.

If it weren't for Altria guarding the place, it would have been swarmed by the crowd long ago.

Looking at the pillar of light reaching the sky in front of her, Mashu became troubled.

“How do I get it back?”

I was so busy agreeing to Ian that I didn't even think about the fact that this was actually my first time doing such a thing.

It turns out that I still have to go back and ask the director!

Just as Mashu turned around and was about to ask Olga Marie who was taking care of Ritsuka Fujimaru who was unconscious due to the huge output of magic power in a short period of time, she saw a figure.

"No need to ask."

"As a Servant, you only need to touch the Holy Grail. It is the source of magic power prepared for us."

That was Cu Chulainn.

But at this moment, he had lost an arm, and blood was constantly flowing out of it, which looked quite horrifying.

Even though they didn't have much interaction, Mashu still clearly remembered his courage in deciding to fight the white-haired man on the mountainside to buy time for everyone.

This is--

Absolute friends!

"Mr. Cu Chulainn, your hand..."

"Oh."

Cu Chulainn glanced at his empty arms and smiled nonchalantly.

"After all, he wasn't holding a gun, so it was a little difficult to fight that kind of guy."

"but--"

"Even if it's Caster (magician), I'm not that easy to mess with!"

It seems that before Ian "dealt with" Altria, Cu Chulainn had already defeated the unknown dual-blade servant.

Although--

The price was an arm.

"Mr. Cu Chulainn..." Mashu, who was also a "Servant", was somewhat moved by such heroism.

She recalled something.

"and many more!"

"If it is the source of magic power, wouldn't it be better if Mr. Cu Chulainn, as a 'Servant', touched it?!"

"This way, I can also materialize and obtain a real body!"

"No." Cu Chulainn shook his head.

"I don't want to touch the Holy Grail in my current state. I prefer myself holding a spear."

"and--"

Cu Chulainn looked at Mashu in front of him.

"If I'm not mistaken."
