The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

but--

Is this really the case?

"In fact, I also have the idea of ​​destroying the magic barrier." Berserker explained on behalf of his Master.

"It's just that you guys came here before we finished... and you're the only ones who have been here."

"..."

Xi Altria's heart sank when she heard this.

Because she knew that Illya's parents had died in the Fourth Holy Grail War ten years ago.

To some extent, this was also a mistake I made.

But Vivian didn't care about this, or should I say, she didn't know about it.

She quickly asked her own question.

"Speaking of which-"

"Illya." The witch looked at her and the Berserker beside her, "What is your reason for summoning a servant?"

"Sister, you're asking this~"

Knowing that she was Altria's sister, Illya didn't think much about it and answered directly.

"Actually, that's not what I wanted to summon!"

"And she wasn't the one who was going to be summoned in the first place."

"What does this mean?" Vivian was a little confused.

“Just—” Illya grabbed Berserker’s hand.

"My uncle and aunt at home originally wanted me to summon that...that thing called Hera...or something."

"They said that guy is good at killing people!"

"but--"

Illya looked at Altria.

"Sister Saber told me before... that we can't just agree to killing people so easily."

“So I turned them down.”

"Then they said I wasn't feeling well and needed to rest here - hehe, and then they summoned her out!"

"..."

"..."

The room fell silent in an instant.

Except for Illya, the other three people present knew the true meaning of what she had just said.

The family needed Illya to summon another Berserker.

But because of what Altria had said to her, the little loli refused.

Thinking about it this way, the so-called "rest" actually means imprisoning the disobedient girl here with the family's magic barrier and leaving her to fend for herself.

This would explain why there was no adult around such a young child and no servants to take care of her.

Because no one cares about (or dares to care about) this rebellious child - they may have already been looking for an obedient replacement.

The fact that Vivian didn't notice the castle at first was probably due to the barrier.

If you think about it this way, Berserker, who was summoned like a miracle, has become Illya's savior.

At least--

She wanted to use her own flames to break the magic barrier set up here, and she actually did it.

After coming to this answer, Altria felt even more guilty.

If Irisviel had been protected at the beginning, Illya's situation might have been different.

Thinking of this, the girl gently patted Vivian's shoulder and motioned her to talk aside.

"What's wrong?" asked the witch.

"That, sister."

Altria looked at Illya and Berserker who were still playing.

"or--"

"Shall we ally with them temporarily?"

322. Morgan's obsession is everywhere/Scathach's sustenance/Alliance (4k)

Altria's thoughts silenced Vivian.

After a long while, she finally spoke:

"Rider, are you serious?"

"Yeah." Altria nodded.

"Sister... Master, at the moment, we don't know much about the other participants."

"If we can form an alliance with Illya and the others in advance, we will definitely gain an advantageous position strategically."

"..."

Vivian is not confused.

Of course, she could see that her sister Altria's advice was somewhat personal.

Although I don’t know the reason for this, it is definitely not that pure.

but--

Although Altria had her own ideas, Vivian had to admit that her suggestions did meet her needs at the moment.

So far, the witch only has the following pieces of information.

Saber Ian, whose corresponding master is Sakura Tousaka;

Rider Altria, the corresponding servant is himself;

as well as--

Berserker, corresponding to the Servant Illya;

The remaining four riders are currently in a completely unknown situation.

It was only right for her to do what Altria said.

If it were before, Vivian might hate herself for thinking this way.

But now, she is no longer so stubborn.

"I understand."

Vivian's eyes fell on the Rider in front of her.

“It’s definitely an option worth considering.”

"Then I will go and communicate with you now."

After getting permission from Vivian, Altria came before Illya and her Berserker.

With apology to the little girl, the girl spoke carefully:

"Ilia."

"Hmm?" Illya turned around quickly, "What's the matter, Sister Saber?"

"Yeah." Altria bent down and picked her up.

"Nothing, sister just wants to ask... Do you know what you are doing now?"

Altria originally thought that the other party would only have a vague understanding of the matter.

But Illya gave a very accurate answer.

"I know - this is to participate in the Holy Grail War, right?"

"You actually knew that." Altria was a little surprised.

"Yeah, I know~" Illya smiled innocently.

"I also understand that you and that sister are also here to participate in the Holy Grail War, right?"

"So Saber-sister!"

"Would you like to form an alliance with me?!"

"..."

"..."

Hearing this answer, Altria and Vivian looked at each other.

Because this should have been a request made by them.

but--

The British sisters had no objection to this.

After all, if the other party also brings it up, it means that the two parties have the same understanding.

"Okay." Altria nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Illya."

"You're welcome~" The silver-haired loli who was being hugged looked very happy.

"elder sister--"

"Since we are already allies, can you answer a small question for me?"

"what is the problem?"

"That's it..." Illya raised her head and looked at the girl, "What is your real name?"

"..."

"..."

Illya's words made Vivian feel more and more that something was wrong - she found that the other party did not seem as simple as she seemed.

Thinking of this, the witch's eyes glowed blue.

She confirmed the other party's physical condition - this little loli named Illya has extremely numerous magic circuits!

If such a Master were to partner with the arsonist Berserker, they would definitely have considerable combat power.

If we look at it from this perspective...

Vivian suddenly had an idea.

"Sure." She walked over to Altria's side and gently touched Illya's head.

"I can tell you Rider's name."

"But correspondingly—"

"You have to tell me the name of your good friend, too."

The good friend Vivian was referring to was none other than Illya's Servant Berserker.

Yes.

This was Vivian's idea - to simply exchange the real names of both Servants.

Since you know that the opponent is a powerful Master + a good Servant, after learning his true name, you can directly start preparing corresponding magic targeting his corresponding weaknesses.

This is targeting in the name of "alliance".

of course.

It is indeed dangerous to reveal Altria's name to the other party - after all, the other party can also take the same approach.
