I, the sword in the stone, want to take the knight king

Chapter 264

Souls Attracting Each Other

About half an hour later.

According to Artoria’s instruction, Kotomine Kirei drove a station wagon to this street where a modern war had just been waged.

“It’s been done at Liudong Temple.”

“Master is communicating with the people in the countermeasure room… the actions over there are always very slow.”

The young priest reported their actions this morning to Arturia with a poker-faced gesture.

All in all, it went well.

Although the abbot of Liudong Temple does not know much about magic, he is still a person who knows the general situation.

When he saw Tosaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei walking hand in hand, he realized the seriousness of the problem. Then he followed their advice without hesitation, and temporarily withdrew from Liudong Temple.

As for the countermeasure room…their ink marks are normal.

After all, it is an official institution. If there is any action, there must be an approval process.

According to Tohsaka Tokiomi’s estimate, he would have to wait until tonight at the earliest to get the approval of the countermeasure room.

— but beforeHowever, Arturia, who was fully prepared, had already started to act.

“What happens next, you may not be able to accept.”

“If you want, you can go back to the church temporarily, or wait at Sakura’s house.”

On the way to Liudong Temple, Artoria vaccinated Illya in advance.

——It was really hard for her to imagine that after seeing the unconscious Irisviel, Illya had collapsed into this appearance.

What kind of mental shock will he experience after seeing his mother transform from a living “person” into a “cup”.

In this case, escape may be the best choice.

“Even if you wait anxiously, it’s better than witnessing despair with your own eyes.”

Arturia naturally thought of it.

But in the face of her suggestion, Ilya did not say a word and remained silent.

At the same time, her right hand, which tightly held her mother’s sleeve, had already vividly displayed the deepest thoughts in her heart.

She wants to be with her mother.

Even if we die, we must die together!

…

Kotomine Kirei, who was driving the station wagon, drove westward all the way.

His driving skills are actually not very good, and there is still some residual snow on the road, which greatly slows down his driving speed.

However, it is precisely because of this relatively stable way of watching the car that the passengers sitting in the car have more time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

“Fuyuki City…”

Sitting in the back seat by the window, Jian Daimao looked at the receding trees and houses outside the car window, but couldn’t help but recall the scene when he first came to Fuyuki City in his mind.

——At that time, she was very high-spirited and vowed to win the Holy Grail War.

But now, after just five days. She already had the idea of quitting, and she no longer had the idea of continuing to participate in this war.

The sadness in it, don’t talk about others. Even Arturia herself was in an inexplicable and unclear feeling.

But then again.

Although the current Artoria no longer thinks that she still has the meaning to continue fighting in this Holy Grail War.

But this does not mean that she has denied this Holy Grail War.

Even, quite the opposite.

She thinks this Holy Grail War is a real, magnificent war.

During this war, she experienced many things:

The heroic king of conquerors; the rebellious hero king; the chief knight with a glorious appearance but ended in tragedy…

Even Caster, who threw himself into the arms of the devil because he couldn’t ask for it, left a very deep impression on Artoria.

Looking back now, in this short period of five days, she has experienced so many things and so many people.

She is certain that she has grown genuinely from these people or events.

This may also be the greatest significance of this Holy Grail War:

The winner is naturally worthy of congratulations.

But the loser is by no means nothing.

Compared to the so-called Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes. These experiences and perceptions may be more precious things.

At the same time, she was even more fortunate.

Just when she was about to leave this land.

There was another opponent who was perfect for her, who came to “see her off” with his own hands.

…

The car continues to drive forward.

Perhaps it was infected by Illya’s sad atmosphere.

The atmosphere in the carriage was surprisingly quiet.

Including Dinah, who usually likes to talk nonsense the most, is very rare, and kept quiet the whole time.

The dumbass sitting in the back corner of the car seemed to be asleep.

From just now, he closed his eyes and kept silent all the time.

At this moment, she gave people a feeling of “losing fighting spirit and waiting for death”.

——It’s just that such a disguise can’t hide from Xiaya’s eyes.

….. … … …

“She’s gaining momentum.”

On the co-pilot in the front row, it was actually difficult for Char, who was separated by three rows of seats, to observe Artoria in the corner of the rear compartment.

However, relying on the understanding of this stupid hairy spirit. Even if Xiaya couldn’t turn around and observe carefully, he could still know what was on her mind and what she was doing.

“She seems to have only one chance of a sword.”

“She wants to bet everything on her first attack.”

Xia Ya, who had already seen some clues, secretly exchanged information with his own stupid hairy spirit.

But, then again.

Even Shaar, the “five scumbags of war”, can perceive it.

As the [Holy King of Britain], how could Artoria not notice it?

“Ok.”

“I feel it too.”

“She has a great soul.”

Arturia said with admiration.

This is perhaps the only place where she is not as good as this “Camero Knight King”.

On the road of [Knight’s Road], Artoria, who was sitting in the corner of the back row, undoubtedly had to go further.
