Chapter 210

【Inorai: "You went out of your way to bring this up again; there should be some significance, right, Lord?"】

【Waver: "Yes, like the Silver Princess, I would be very troubled if you slipped away."】

【Inorai: "Even if you say so, just as I said earlier, I have no reason to stay here."】

【Waver: "Then let's make a deal."】

【Inorai: "A deal?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "Looking at his confident appearance, it seems you have already solved the case, Waver."】

Caules: "But in the current situation in the video, no one should have the heart to listen to his deduction."】

Gordes Musik Yggdmillennia: "So we still have to end this war first."】

【Focus back to the battlefield Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side.】

【The situation has changed again.】

【Just now, Svin wanted to sneak attack Atrum from above, but was blocked by the other party's electric net. Just when he wanted to break through by force, he was injured by an attack from the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side.】

【The person who made the move was actually Touko Aozaki.】

【"Sorry, kids from the El-Melloi Classroom."】

【Touko Aozaki took off her glasses and said: "Because I accepted a commission, I decided to be your enemy."】

【In less than a moment, the battle ended.】

【Flat used a shadow doll to find an opportunity to slip away, but the stubborn Svin chose to fight to the death and was blown unconscious.】

【Flat's escape was not so smooth either; he was pursued by Touko Aozaki's doll and was also seriously injured by the explosion, but fortunately, he was saved by Gray who arrived in time.】

【Facing the cat-shaped doll that was chasing relentlessly, Gray spent some effort fighting it and finally discovered the fact that the other party was a slide projection, finding the real puppet hiding on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side and solving it.】

【It's just a pity that after such a delay, Touko Aozaki had already chased over.】

【A moment later.】

【Atrum: "Oh my, Miss Aozaki is worthy of being a Grand; even dealing with beautiful girls is unmerciful. Did you make her a cripple or something?"】

【"Hey, hey, I wouldn't do such a waste. Don't say it so unpleasantly; the other party is a girl who is lovely in appearance. I just slightly restrained her inspiration."】

【At this time, Gray was already like frozen, brought back by Touko Aozaki.】

【"This girl's sensitivity to spirits seems too high; it's a common type among mediums. Precisely because she is excellent beyond the crowd, she will reveal fatal flaws in certain scenes. I think this is a common mode for students of that classroom."】

Waver: "Sure enough, the thing I worried about most happened."】

Gordes Musik Yggdmillennia: "Worthy of being a Grand; she solved all three of El-Melloi II's students so easily."】

Kayneth: "What kind of monster did this woman Touko Aozaki put in her bag? She actually froze Gray just by her aura."】

【"What you should destroy is..."】

【"You are a child worthy of pride."】

【"Because you are, more than anyone else, a hero."】

【Voices echoed in Gray's mind one after another.】

【Is that so? As long as I dedicate myself, it's fine.】

【Anyway, I am a product created for this spear; just exert power according to this spear's requirements.】

【I didn't need to think from the beginning because the meaning of running away didn't exist from the beginning; just accept it as it is.】

【As long as I change, it's fine.】

【Not some existing self, but becoming an ancient hero.】

【"Gray, Rave, Crave, Deprave, Grave, me..."】

【Gray's lips whispered on their own, and her own consciousness was dying.】

【This movement attracted the attention of Touko Aozaki and Atrum all at once.】

【"I see. So that is your hidden secret."】

【Touko Aozaki held down her bag that was starting to get restless and said: "Hm, but this is not very good. This guy will very likely be interested."】

【The bag opened on its own, and a 'chi-chi' sound came from inside.】

Waver: "Hey, hey, is this out of control?"】

Artoria: "Yes, her consciousness is being swallowed by the Holy Spear."】

Mordred: "What 'as long as I dedicate myself, it's fine'—what nonsense."】

Mordred was very angry because Gray's inner voice in the video reminded her of the words her mother Morgan kept brainwashing her with before she died.

【Atrum: "Miss Aozaki, at this rate, will this area be razed to the ground?"】

【"What do you think?"】

【Touko Aozaki said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, don't be a busybody."】

【Atrum: "How can I ignore this!"】

【Atrum took out a primitive battery again, blended magical power and electricity, and compressed it into small-scale lightning at his fingertips, preparing to meet the attack.】

【"Grave, for you!"】

【"Holy Spear, draw..."】

【Just at the moment Gray was about to launch the Holy Spear, another voice came.】

【"Ecce homo!"】

【Time stopped, coordinates lost their meaning, and all space-time continuums looked like they had been robbed of their orderly tightness.】

【Because they saw that the Golden Princess, who should have passed away, was standing in the center of the forest.】

【The magi who had been forced into battle until just now and whose souls had become incomparably sharp in the extreme life-and-death struggle were all shocked by that amazing feeling without exception, standing still.】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Smart, to actually use the Golden Princess's face to stop this battle."】

Caules: "But isn't the Golden Princess dead?"】

Fiore: "Don't ask such a stupid question."】

Darnic: "Even if she is dead, there are many ways to make her face reappear."】

Gordes: "Then, this is a projection created through memory."】

Avicebron: "To be able to create it so vividly—interesting."】

【"Were you also forced to retreat?"】

【Touko Aozaki looked at the bag in her hand and opened her mouth helplessly.】

【"What was that just now?"】

【Not just the lightning Atrum was preparing to cast, even the dark clouds that flooded the night sky of the entire area dispersed. Even the weather magecraft cast by the power of dozens of people was easily dissipated like tearing thin paper.】

【This miracle ended in just a few seconds.】

【Everyone then reacted that the person standing there was not the murdered Golden Princess, but the Silver Princess.】

【Touko Aozaki: "I see. A projection, huh."】

【Waver appeared with Reines at this time and said: "Just as you perceived, this is projecting the Golden Princess from the debut banquet onto the Silver Princess's face. The person who performed it is my disciple Reines."】

【Reines: "Hmph, the spell was constructed by you, and the preparation ceremony was done by the two from the Melastie faction. I can't boast about anything."】

【Atrum: "So what? Do you think you can stop us with this kind of surprising magecraft?"】

【"Don't try to be brave."】

【Touko Aozaki shook her head and said: "This move indeed made me lose my energy, but what do you intend to do?"】

Kayneth: "Lost her energy—it seems that wasn't just a projection just now."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Don't forget Galliasta's weather magecraft was also lifted; that's probably not something a simple projection could do."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Waver, what did you do?"】

Waver: "How would I know? The video didn't give a screen."】

【"Since you lost your energy, there should be room for negotiation, right?"】

【Waver said lightly: "Besides, seeing the magecraft just now, don't you understand?"】

【Touko Aozaki: "I guessed it, but is it that sort of thing? Was your performance just now also an answer to me?"】

【Waver: "Mostly just as you imagined. At the same time, this is my speculation, but the reward the client promised to pay you..."】

【"Hm, if it's as you want to say, the reward loses its meaning."】

【Touko Aozaki shrugged and said: "Rather, I was deceived. No, in this situation, the other party didn't lie, so I just rashly concluded it, right?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "What are they talking about? I'm listening in a fog."】

Illya: "Me too. I hate these riddle-like ways of speaking the most."】

【Waver looked at Atrum and said: "You are Atrum Galliasta, right? Can you return my disciple?"】
