Miss Surtr will ignite the world

I never expected that I would be ridden by someone else before I could ride them. But I won't make a fuss because the other person is so cute.

After leaving the temple, she noticed that the atmosphere inside Ryudong Temple was a bit off.

The sun overhead looked as if it were covered by a film. Even though there was nothing above, you could feel a subtle sense of enclosure, as if you were inside some kind of building.

Is this the temple?

It feels quite different from the workshop, and judging from its intensity, it's still a ways from being completed.

Then we can fight a positional war with the Rider.

I wonder what would happen if I tried to collide my temple with the opponent's natural barrier.

It sounds like it would be quite interesting.

What's for lunch today?

Surtr asked, since Sera arrived, she has also started to look forward to the meals every day.

"Sera said she's going to have a barbecue today."

"Barbecue, I feel like I could show off my skills too."

Is Surtr good at grilling?

"Of course, no one knows more about barbecue than me."

"That's what Surtr said."

Suddenly, an explosion came from the open space in the front yard, followed by a plume of thick black smoke rising slowly.

Enemy attack?

Meanwhile, at Ryudong Temple, in the front courtyard.

Medea exhaled a black smoke ring, while Lyselette, whose face was also blackened by the smoke, looked completely bewildered and probably hadn't yet realized what was going on.

In front of the two men was a grill that had been blown to pieces and chunks of black charcoal.

You can still vaguely see what he looked like before he was born from his outline.

When Surtr arrived, this was the scene that greeted him.

"Strange? Why did it explode?"

Medea tilted her head and murmured.

She simply added a few buffs to speed up the process and a few seasonings to make it taste better.

There shouldn't have been anything unnecessary, right?

why?

Medea, a meticulous magician, begins to reflect on her problems, even though she doesn't yet know what she did wrong.

Surtr, who had rushed over from the side, was stunned.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone make a barbecue explode.

Does this primitive contraption have any elements that could cause an explosion? It's not an animation.

I can sense traces of magic around me. Could it be that Medea used magic?

Barbecue?

is it necessary?

Are you all alright?

Without dwelling on the question, Surtr asked the two of them.

"In good condition."

"Master, you've arrived."

Noticing someone approaching, Medea turned her head, her gentle voice turning cold the moment she saw Illya above Surtr's head.

"You brat, how dare you sit on Master's head? Get down right now!"

“Surtr allowed me to sit.”

Ilya made a face at the other person and used her height advantage to look down at them.

Medea knew perfectly well that this brat wouldn't dare to be so arrogant without Surtur's permission.

But it's really annoying to look at.

"Master, you spoil her too much."

"I don't really mind."

"By the way, where did Sera go?"

If the other party were there, there's no way an explosion would have happened.

"She went to prepare the ingredients, she should be back soon, oh, she's already back."

In my line of sight was Sera, who was rushing over with a bag, presumably having heard the explosion.

Upon hearing the whole story, the usually dignified head maid showed a dumbfounded expression for the first time, looking at Medea as if she were some rare animal.

After speaking to Medea with great respect, saying something that hurt her pride, such as "Please never come near the kitchen again from now on," he invited the group to a table to wait to be fed.

After everyone left, Sera looked at Surtr, who was still standing to the side, and asked cautiously.

"Um, Lord Surtr, aren't you going over there?"

"Let me help you. Although Medea is a clueless person, I'm not."

"That's too much, Master."

Surtr heard someone complaining nearby, but he chose to ignore it.

"I'm actually quite good at grilling."

Surtr was full of confidence.

"...Okay, take it easy."

"Don't worry, I'm very steady."

Surtr waved to reassure the other party, skillfully skewered the ingredients, and placed them on the grill that had been magically repaired.

Then, under Sera's increasingly reassured gaze.

Surtr drew his Flame Sword.

"and many more!!!"

"Behold me, Levantine."

fsn: Chapter Fifty is apt.

While Surtr and her friends were holding a safe and healthy barbecue party at Ryudong Temple.

The Emiya residence is hosting a meeting that will determine its future survival.

Rin rested her chin on her hands, looking at the two Servants in front of her with a serious expression.

"The situation is not optimistic. Do you two have any good ideas?"

"I suggest we hide first and wait until Saber recovers before making any decisions."

Archer responded immediately.

"Yes, this time it was I who dragged things down."

Saber echoed, and from the tone of her voice, it was clear that the other person's physical condition was not very good.

This is the price for forcibly using the Du Mouyi while not being a god.

The spirit origin should have shattered immediately, but a Command Seal forcibly kept it alive. Servants have incredibly resilient bodies; as long as they don't die, they can slowly regenerate using magical energy.

But it takes time.

"Don't say that. If it weren't for the old man, we would have been in danger last night."

Rin quickly shook her head.

Last night's situation was something Archer couldn't have handled alone; it was thanks to Saber's Noble Phantasm that we were able to cope.

This treasure is just too much of a burden; it's powerful, but one strike will leave you bedridden for days.

Moreover, each use consumes one Command Seal, and even with the final self-destruction, it can only be used three times.

It must be used with caution.

"As expected, restoring you is the only option left now."

Lin sighed.

Without Saber's help, she would have had no chance of winning this Holy Grail War.

Were these the same monsters her father faced ten years ago?

Just two battles shattered her initial confidence.

Her opponents were all monsters; it was incredibly difficult for her, a high school student.

"Where do you think would be a good place to hide next? Given Saber's current condition, she won't be able to recover in less than two or three days, and she definitely can't fight during that time."

"Just go straight to the shopping street. That's where the crowds are the biggest, and it's easy to hide there. Even late at night, there are still a lot of people there. Magicians are unlikely to make their move in such a place to maintain their secrecy. The terrain is also complex enough that it's not suitable for the Rider's vehicle to maneuver."

Archer stated it directly.

If he were a magician, he would probably think he should hide in some unknown corner.

But as an experienced guardian, Archer is very familiar with the magician's tricks and knows how to counter them.

"Oh, right, don't choose a high floor for your accommodation, it'll be easier to escape."

"A very reasonable proposal."

Rin nodded.

Even for magicians, finding someone in a high-traffic area like a shopping street is quite difficult.

It's more accurate to say that it's difficult precisely because one is a magician.

Maintaining secrecy is an inviolable rule for magicians and also ensures their safety.

Hiding until Saber recovers should be fine.

However, you should always prepare for the worst.

They are currently the weakest group, and the other two groups will likely want to eliminate them first.

For a Servant, the rules of magic are clearly meaningless. This is something she learned in this Holy Grail War.

Today, rumors have started circulating on the streets that the Buddha Vairocana has manifested at Ryudong Temple.

“I don’t think there’s any need to worry so much, Rin. Rider should be more worried about the Caster duo than about us, who have already been defeated.”

Archer calmed the other person's somewhat agitated emotions.

"After we hid, the other groups basically only had three options."

He held up three fingers.

"Hold your positions and do nothing."

"To take this opportunity to eliminate us."

"Or exclude another group during this period."

"Caster will probably choose the first option, but Rider will most likely choose the third option."

"I see. Compared to our Caster team, which has already been defeated, the combination that gets stronger as it develops is more worthy of attention."

Rin clapped her hands, but then she felt a little worried when she thought of that sun.

"After witnessing that scene, is Rider really confident in defeating her? The opponent still has another Servant."

"It should be fine. In my opinion, of course, the other side still has some trump cards they haven't used yet."

Saber answered Rin.

"No way, those aren't even our trump cards!"
