Chapter 266

【If that experience were fake, she wouldn't feel unfamiliar with this place.】

【You know, this is the land where she was born and raised; she couldn't be more familiar with it.】

【Passing by the church, she saw Father Fernande and Sister Irmia.】

【"What's wrong with you?"】

【Irmia asked: "You look very pale. Your body is precious in this village, right? Seeing you walking on the road with that expression, others will worry about what happened to you."】

【Gray: "... hank you."】

【She remembered that Fernande and Irmia were among the few in the village who didn't look at her with holy eyes, but in her memory, she didn't seem to have been approached by her like this.】

【At this time, Fernande, who was as fat as a ball, also came over and asked Gray about Lord El-Melloi II.】

【This point matched what happened in her memory.】

【Because today was the day the peddler came to the village, Fernande didn't say much and left with Irmia.】

【But this situation made Gray even more confused.】

【"You're late today, Gray."】

【When Gray arrived at the dilapidated house behind the church, Bersac was chopping wood there and asked without looking back.】

【Gray: "I... am a bit upset."】

【She tried hard to calm herself down and secretly observed her surroundings.】

【Just like in her memory, she didn't find anything different.】

【"Um, Mr. Bersac..."】

【"..."】

【The other party didn't respond, which was the same as in her memory.】

【Bersac wasn't a man of few words; if necessary, he would become talkative. He just wasn't interested in daily conversation itself.】

【Gray: "... on't you think something happened in the village?"】

【Bersac paused and turned his head: "What are you referring to?"】

【Gray: "No, no, um, for example, everyone suddenly disappeared, and the season is clearly winter but it went back to summer."】

【Bersac frowned: "... hat are you talking about?"】

【Gray suddenly felt she was too impatient, so she had to say: "I just happened to see such a plot in a book and had a strange dream."】

【"Is that so?"】

【Bersac also accepted this answer simply, put down the axe and said: "More importantly, about yesterday's visitor..."】

【Gray: "Did something happen?"】

【Bersac: "He asked me about your appearance."】

【Gray was stunned; that's right, this was the part that overlapped with her memory again.】

【Bersac: "What's wrong? Staring blankly again."】

【Gray: "No, nothing. Bu, but, why did you talk about the topic of appearance?"】

【"That guest seems to want to hire the gravekeeper of Blackmore."】

【Bersac glanced at Gray and said: "You are undoubtedly one of them. But normally, this village wouldn't let you go. Because from a long time ago, this place was established on such a system."】

【Gray: "... es."】

【She remembered that the topic ended there at that time.】

【Because she was too timid at that time, 'Although a miraculous encounter happened to come, it really has nothing to do with me', that was her thought at that time.】

Shishigou Kairi: "It feels like repeating the past; this girl must be very uneasy."】

Lord El-Melloi II: "If her will isn't firm, she will likely become confused and start doubting whether everything after she left the village is fake."】

Lord El-Melloi II: "No, it should be said that she has already started to have such thoughts."】

【Gray: "May I ask, what did Mr. Bersac and the guest talk about?"】

【"Hmm?"】

【Bersac's strange gaze fell on Gray: "You're actually curious about this, it's really rare."】

【Gray: "Is, is that so... However, this is related to me after all."】

【Bersac: "That's also true. The other party is a Lord of the Clock Tower, so I really couldn't just brush it off. I frankly told him the origin of your appearance and the connection with Add."】

【Gray: "The origin of my appearance..."】

【The origin of her appearance, that is, the greatest hero of Britain—King Arthur.】

【This is a long plan, and she only knows a rough idea.】

【Simply put, the history that this village has continued is to create people capable of using the Noble Phantasm sealed inside Add.】

【This plan is too long, so long that even the meaning has been forgotten, but the village is still miserably continuing this act of forgetting the reason.】

【Come to think of it, she herself feels a bit inexplicable that King Arthur is actually a woman, but it has always been passed down like this in the village.】

【After meeting her Master, she also knows that this legend is true.】

Waver: "Sure enough, this village intends to create a new King Arthur."】

Mordred: "Daring to offend my Father, they should all be killed!"】

Lancelot: "Indeed, to think they want to create a fake, they should be executed!"】

Shishigou Kairi: "But don't you find it ridiculous? They've even forgotten the purpose of doing this, yet they are still obsessively executing it; it has already formed a demonic barrier."】

Kayneth: "Maybe they haven't forgotten at all, it's just that Gray doesn't know."】

Waver: "Indeed, but one point is also confirmed, and that is that this plan is very old; I'm afraid it started from the era of King Arthur."】

Artoria: "..."】

【Bersac: "It's very quiet today. Usually, at this time, it would interrupt and make unnecessary jokes."】

【He was referring to Add.】

【Gray: "Um, we don't seem to have slept well."】

【"Hmm, is there such a situation?"】

【Bersac stroked his beard and said: "In any case, it is necessary to probe that person's thoughts again. I plan to send you to guide the guest today, is that okay?"】

【Gray's expression stalled; this development was exactly the same as that year.】

【If so, what about the Master? Will the Master be the same as them?"】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "If even Lord El-Melloi II doesn't remember her, she will probably really collapse."】

Waver: "Yes, it's like the last straw that breaks the camel's back; I hope it doesn't happen."】

【Bersac looked at Gray and asked strangely: "What's wrong? Did you encounter anything unpleasant today?"】

【Gray: "No, nothing."】

【Bersac observed Gray suspiciously, then picked up the basket on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side.】

【"Use this instead of lunch, and send it to the guest."】

【Gray: "... , I understand."】

【Gray took the basket and left in a hurry, leaving Bersac frowning.】

【The hunting lodge wasn't far from here, and Gray soon arrived at the door, but she didn't dare to knock for a long time.】

【She was afraid, afraid that even Lord El-Melloi II wouldn't remember her.】

【After hesitating for a long time, Gray finally pushed the door open and went in.】

【Lord El-Melloi II was sitting at the table, lighting a cigar and watching her quietly.】

【"Mas, Master..."】

【Gray gathered her courage and called out slowly in a hoarse voice.】

【The room was suddenly filled with silence.】

【"Great."】

【A moment later, Lord El-Melloi II breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It looks like you are the Gray I know."】

【With just this simple sentence, Gray immediately felt relieved.】

Waver: "Fortunately, it's not the worst development."】

Shishigou Kairi: "Hehe, this little girl really relies on you."】

Waver: "Cough, cough, it's the future me."】

Shishigou Kairi: "It's all the same, all the same."】

【Gray, who breathed a sigh of relief, felt her whole body go limp and almost fell; after being discovered by Lord El-Melloi II, she was immediately helped to sit on a chair.】
