Scathach hesitated to speak, as if she was worried that what she was going to say next would make the people present feel uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Ian said directly:

"It's fine."

"Scathach, just say whatever you have to say - now is not the time to hide anything."

"We need to defeat Caster, not have a tea party here."

"..."

Perhaps knowing that Ian was right, Scathach nodded and continued to explain her ideas.

"Don't be afraid of what I'm going to show you next."

Having said this, Scathach began to quickly gather her magic power.

The streamlines flickered at her fingertips and finally fixed into a specific shape.

The light disappeared, and two dark red spears appeared in Scathach's hands - they were her Gae Bolg Alternative!

But the moment it appeared, the British sisters and the Toosaka sisters immediately became alert.

After all, to them, Scathach's gun was an extremely ominous sign.

Ian also realized this, and he immediately reached out and stopped the actions of the four people.

"It's fine."

"Trust Scathach - she is on our side now."

"..."

Hearing this, Scathach felt a warm feeling in her heart.

After all, among so many people present, Ian was the only one who trusted him unconditionally - even though he had been pierced by his gun once.

Ian's statement really works.

The four of them soon fell silent, all looking at Scathach silently.

Obviously, this was to find out her purpose in taking out the Gae Bolg Alternative.

Of course Scathach understood what was going on, so she started introducing it directly.

"Once my Gae Bolg Alternative is fired, it will definitely hit."

"No matter how agile the opponent is, there is absolutely no way they can escape this attack."

"..."

Hearing this, Toosaka Rin was the first to react - because there is a similar theory in Bajiquan.

"Scathach."

"Then according to what you said, shouldn't Caster be seriously injured?"

"After all, your Gae Bolg Alternative is a guaranteed hit."

"Plus, with Lancer fighting alongside you, there should be some results no matter how you think about it."

"..."

Scathach nodded, but showed no joy at being understood.

On the contrary, her expression became more serious.

"Yes."

"As a rule of thumb, even if Lancer and I can't win, we should at least be able to inflict some damage on the opponent."

"After all, no matter how you think about it, this is an attack that will definitely be effective as long as it is thrown."

"But the problem is—"

Scathach looked at the Gae Bolg Alternative in her hand with a complicated look in her eyes.

"It didn't hit Caster at that time."

"..."

"..."

"..."

A silent atmosphere instantly filled the living room.

Except for Illya, who was completely out of the loop, everyone knew exactly what Scathach meant by this.

Her Gae Bolg Alternative was negated!!!

"Scathach."

Ian couldn't believe this.

"Could you... have made a mistake?"

"I'm not wrong." Scathach faced the man's doubts.

"Ian, I did not attack Caster - even with Lancer's help."

"..."

[Scathach rarely admits her failure.]

[After all, even when she was defeated by you under the alias of Misaya, she still struggled for a long time before accepting it.]

[But now she directly admitted that her Gae Bolg Alternative was ineffective against Caster. ]

[This means she must have tried a variety of methods. ]

[You realize that the Caster she faced that day was probably far more terrifying than you imagined.]

The living room fell into deathly silence.

But at this moment, Toosaka Sakura seemed to have thought of something.

She looked at Scathach and asked a slightly aggressive question.

"That--"

"When you fought Caster, did you also launch a surprise attack from the dark like before?"

"..."

Scathach's expression became somewhat embarrassed.

But she knew that now was not the time to worry about these things.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows shook her head, denying Toosaka Sakura's statement.

"Do not."

"This time... it's a fair duel - or should I say, an unexpected encounter."

"After all, I never thought I would meet Caster before this."

"In that case——"

Sakura Tohsaka's gaze fell on the Gae Bolg Alternative in Scathach's hand and expressed her thoughts.

"Is it possible that the other party knew about the existence of your gun in advance, and then set up magic in a specific place, which eventually led to its invalidation?"

"..."

Scathach was stunned for a moment.

She always felt that the trap that Toosaka Sakura described was familiar.

Wait, isn’t this the strategy I adopted before?

"Now that you mention it... it's not impossible."

"If that's the case—" Toosaka Sakura continued to express her thoughts.

"We have to take a passive approach this time."

"Passive method?" Scathach was a little confused, "Then how to defeat Caster?"

"Wait until he comes."

Morgan, who had remained silent until now, expressed his students' thoughts.

"All we need to do is set up the corresponding magic somewhere in advance, and spread enough information to let Caster know about it."

"Given the current situation, he will definitely come to my door."

"This way, we can take the initiative instead, without having to worry about our own magic or servants' Noble Phantasms being invalidated."

"If we want to be on the safe side, we can even deploy some widely used counter-magic in advance - this way, we can further weaken Caster's strength."

"Sakura."

Morgan looked at his students and smiled.

"Is this what you want to express?"

"..."

Toosaka Sakura was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Yes, what the teacher is saying now is exactly what I was thinking just now."

Scathach thought about it and had a new question.

"So according to what you said--".

"We have to find a suitable battlefield."

"Have you...thought of a place?"

"Of course it's where mom is!"

Illya, who was sitting on Ibaraki Douji, suddenly spoke at this time.

"If it were there, Mom would definitely come to help us!"

"Let me explain." Ibaraki Douji poked his head out from behind Illya.

"The place the Master is talking about is the place called Enzoyama."

"If you can't use it, please pretend you didn't hear it."

"..."

Scathach recalled the Fourth Holy Grail War.

It was in this mountain that she gained enough magical power to survive without her Master Kenneth.

"Do not."

“This place is great.”

"That's right." Morgan added, "There are spiritual veins there - it's very helpful for setting up magic."

"In that case——"

Ian summarized everyone's opinions.

"Let's set up a battlefield against Caster at this place, Mt. Enzo!"

[As if by fate, everything has returned to Mt. Enzo, the end point of the Fourth Holy Grail War.]

[You all start to set up the corresponding magic here. ]

[In order to reduce the impact, you try to spread rumors and make everyone in the mountains leave early.]

[After a while, everything is ready, except for Caster's appearance. ]

【But what you don't know is that Caster has actually seen through this action. 】

At the foot of Yuanzang Mountain.

Maris Billy and Solomon came here.

"Magic King, the magic power around here seems to have been deliberately arranged to a very high concentration. This may be a trap."

"Why not... just destroy this mountain?"
