Chapter 201

【"Ms. Reines!"】

【A familiar voice sounded; it was Gray.】

【I saw Gray rushing out from behind Reines with a scythe, rushing into the fog and fighting with a certain figure.】

【She was almost attacked just now; it was Gray who saved her in time.】

【After the lingering fear, Reines looked at Gray's scythe with some curiosity.】

【This was her first time seeing Add transform, so she was somewhat curious.】

【The enemy in the thick fog also gradually revealed their figure; it was a doll with long arms.】

【The five fingers were replaced with sharp blades, the legs were twisted to the point of reverse joints, and the angle of the upper body was coordinated with the feet, leaning forward to the point where it could almost lick the ground.】

【No matter how you look at it, it feels bizarre.】

【Reines: "To think it's an automaton!"】

【Add: "Hahaha, this opponent is great; I won't get bored at all when accompanying you guys."】

Waver: "To think it's an automaton; it seems the person who set up the barrier has been revealed."

Kayneth: "Touko Aozaki, there is no one else except that woman; only she can create such a doll that looks strange but is unusually flexible."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "This thing is very dangerous; not only is it fast, but it also makes very little sound when moving. If it weren't for the girl named Gray taking action just now, this girl would probably have died."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "This is the work of a Crown-rank puppeteer; one doll has such strength."

Mordred: "Tch, I can smash this thing to pieces with a wave of my hand."

Shishigou Kairi: "For a magus, this thing is already very dangerous."

Illya: "This thing is actually the work of that big sister; it looks quite interesting."

Rin Tohsaka: "Interesting? Where do you think this thing is interesting!"

【After Gray fought with the automaton for several rounds, this thing suddenly lowered its body, the four limbs split into two sharp blades, and the only upright face suddenly cracked, growing many eyes.】

【Is this feeling that Gray is not easy to deal with, further enhancing combat power?】

Caules: "Does this thing deform according to the enemy's strength?"

Fiore: "Compared to this automaton, I feel my prosthetic limb technology content is so low."

Darnic: "After all, it is the work of a Crown-rank magus."

Astolfo: "It's just this shape, I really can't compliment it."

Looking at this weird three-headed and six-armed form, it's even more bizarre.】

【Facing the opponent's six sharp blades similar to a spider, Gray fell into a disadvantage directly, only able to enter passive defense, but was soon cut on her right arm.】

【Just as the automaton was about to kill, a ray of light interrupted its attack, allowing Gray to seize the opportunity to knock it away.】

【The one who took action was Reines, using the most ordinary curse bullets.】

【Reines: "I can at least do this much."】

【The automaton crawled up from the grass, and its gaze fell on the two girls again.】

【Gray: "Add!"】

【The girl and the scythe began to absorb the surrounding magic power to strengthen themselves.】

【The automaton's three faces revealed a weird smile, and it rushed back with a sprint, fighting with Gray again.】

【"Pa!"】

【This time, the doll's sharp blade was directly smashed to pieces by Gray.】

【Add: "Heeheehee, we have never lost in strength using this move!"】

Mordred: "That's right; if we lose to this kind of toy, it really tarnishes the prestige of the Holy Spear."

Shishigou Kairi: "Hmm, you still care about this?"

Mordred: "Nonsense, if the prestige of the Holy Spear is damaged, won't my reputation be damaged just the same after being killed by it?"

Shishigou Kairi: "... don't think so; you're thinking too much."

【"One more time!"】

【Following Add's shout, Gray swung her scythe.】

【But in the next moment, the automaton's mouth suddenly cracked, and a strange organ like a visceral spear rushed out from it.】

Rin Tohsaka: "I'm going, there are weapons in the mouth!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It's really unexpected, catching the opponent off guard."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "That woman is really cunning, making people unable to defend against it."

【Reasonably speaking, such a close-range surprise attack absolutely couldn't be avoided, but Gray showed a very high reaction ability, doing a backflip to avoid this attack.】

【But the automaton didn't pursue further, instead taking the opportunity to jump onto a tree and quickly disappeared into the white fog.】

【Gray: "Did it escape?"】

【Add: "Seems so, hehehe."】

【Reines: "Then, what about Trimmau?"】

Illya: "Did it dodge? So amazing!"

Achilles: "Haha, this agility and reaction ability are not bad."

Atalanta: "However, why did that automaton retreat on its own? Didn't it look like it was going to fight to the death just now?"

Kotomine Emiya Emiya Shirou: "Very simple, the enemy's goal has been achieved."

Semiramis: "Sure enough, it's a little girl, schemed against by the murderer again."

【Reines thought for a while and took out a chain with a purple crystal embedded in the front from her bosom.】

【This is a tool for magic exploration 'Dowsing' used to explore underground water sources and mineral veins.】

【Because Gray just absorbed the magic power around, the barrier around became weak, which is a good opportunity to break through.】

【"Adjust it..."】

【Reines wrapped the chain around her wrist, the purple crystal hung straight down, gathered strength according to the direction the Mystic Eye felt heat, and swung the chain with all her strength.】

【"Come on, Thou, betray your sign!"】

【The white fog around suddenly shook, although it didn't disappear completely, the field of vision became much clearer, revealing the front of the forest.】

【"Move fast!"】

【Reines pulled Gray and rushed out quickly, successfully rushing out of the barrier.】

【Outside the barrier is a piece of open land, and a clear spring.】

【However, it is no longer clear now.】

【A quiet figure, lying quietly on the spring.】

【It is Karina, or Regina, temporarily unable to distinguish.】

【Regina is the name of the other maid responsible for serving the Silver Princess.】

【And beside the spring, Trimmau stood quietly, the bright red on her hands so dazzling.】

Waver: "!!!"

Kotomine Emiya Emiya Shirou: "Sure enough."

Illya: "No way, the mercury maid killed someone!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Idiot, this is clearly framing!"

Kayneth: "Sigh, Reines, this girl, was led by the nose by the opponent again."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "The murderer had long expected her to go investigate the footprints; this is a trap."

Darnic: "It's not over yet; if you want to frame someone, how can you do it without an eyewitness?"

【"Reines... my lady."】

【Trimmau turned her head stiffly; her magic connection with Reines had not yet been restored.】

【Reines: "Trimmau, you..."】

【"Oh my, wait, in this situation, should we protect the crime scene, or should I say, arrest the culprit in the act?"】

【A figure walked out of the forest; it was Inorai.】

【Gray: "Lord Valuleta, why are you here?"】

【Inorai: "Likewise, I just felt a strange magic aura, so I came over to see."】

【Subsequently, Inorai grabbed a handful of things from the small bag on her waist and threw them out with a short mantra.】

【It was sand; the thrown sand seemed to come alive, binding Trimmau.】

【"Karina..."】
