Chapter 1137: · The Insane Sajo Manaka

【Sajo Manaka: "Hmm, that's right. It's truly cruel to force all seven riders to be used as fuel. Using a Command Spell to make your own Servant commit suicide at the final moment—'Alright, the ritual is complete,' and so on."】

【Nigel: "Heroic Spirits don't exist in the current world to begin with. Compared to reaching the Root, this is just a small sacrifice."】

【"I don't like that way of thinking."】

【Sajo Manaka said in a 'sorrowful' tone: "How should I put it? Replacing Saber requires collecting the soul of one rider... though having said that, it might actually require two. Because your Lancer currently looks like she's about to burn away completely."】

【Nigel: "... What?"】

【Although it was only for an instant, he hesitated.】

【Astonishment. Speechlessness. Stupefaction. He was clearly supposed to be devoid of any emotion.】

Fuyuki Tiger: "Strange? Not wanting one's own Servant to be sacrificed should be a good thing, but why do I feel like something is off?"

Waver: "Because of the goal,"

Fuyuki Tiger: "???"

Waver: "Sajo Manaka doesn't want to sacrifice King Arthur, but she still wants to activate the Holy Grail to make a wish. How is she going to make up for the missing part of Saber?"

Fuyuki Tiger: "Hey, hey, you don't mean—"

Waver: "... I hope I'm overthinking it."

【Nigel: "Bastard, you don't want to use the soul of the contracted Heroic Spirit?"】

【Sajo Manaka: "Hmm, that's right."】

【Nigel: "Even if you have no desire to reach the Root, you still have a wish, don't you? Take that..."】

【Sajo Manaka: "My wish is to fulfill Saber's wish,"】

【Nigel: "What?"】

【"So, you see..."】

【Sajo Manaka spread her arms wide like a bird flapping its wings in the night. She looked up at the starry sky.】

【"—Leaving time, leaving space, leaving everything behind."】

【"—Seeking that lost ancient kingdom (Britain) once more, complete and intact."】

【"That is his heart's desire."】

Fiore: "Although their genders are different, the wishes of the two King Arthurs are the same. They both wish to find their kingdom again, don't they?"

Artoria: "..."

Kayneth: "... Insane, she is truly insane!"

Waver: "..."

Fuyuki Tiger: "What's wrong?"

【"... You're insane!"】

【Nigel, occupied by astonishment and trembling, roared shortly.】

【He, who claimed to have no other emotions, finally broke his composure.】
