Chapter 331

【Sieg: "I understand, please hurry."】

【Karna: "Yeah, that's for sure. Magus of Yggdmillennia, follow me."】

【Karna took them to a house on the outskirts and came to the basement inside the house.】

【After entering, the Fiore group was shocked, because they saw five men and women sitting around a round table, muttering nonsense.】

【"Listen, compared to Western magic, Eastern magic pays more attention to gentleness—"】

【"I have seen the legendary library of Ivan the Terrible; in this way, I should be able to understand what kind of changes the magi in the ELS area have experienced—"】

【"My brother, why didn't the wish come true even though we obtained the Holy Grail?"】

【"My brother, isn't that natural? Because we didn't obtain the Holy Grail."】

【"Ahhh, want to work, want to work, anything is fine, must work—"】

【This situation made the three of Fiore feel cold; what kind of weird cult ritual was this, or were they living sacrifices?】

Waver: "This is! The Masters of the Red faction!"】

Shishigou Kairi: "Fortunately, I was cautious, otherwise I would be sitting inside now too."】

Shishigou Kairi: "But priest, to actually bring them to the Hanging Gardens, are they hostages?"】

Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou: "I am just protecting them; after all, isn't there no place safer than the Hanging Gardens?"】

Shishigou Kairi: "Hmph, do you believe this yourself?"】

Kayneth: "Saving one's own Master, this is indeed what a Servant should do."】

Look at Karna, then look at himself; what a clear contrast.】

I'm talking about you, Shakespeare, who has been mixed up with Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou from the very beginning.】

Shishigou Kairi: "Priest, where are the ones we have here? Don't tell me you still brought them to the Hanging Gardens."】

If that were the case, the ashes of these few people probably couldn't be found anymore.】

Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou: "Rest assured, since I chose the Hanging Gardens as the battlefield, it is not safe here; I naturally wouldn't put them in danger."】

Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou: "They are still in the basement of the church; you can go and save them, it's a good credit."】

Shishigou Kairi: "Hmph."】

【Caules: "Hey, hey, could these guys be!"】

【Karna: "That's right, these are the original Masters of our Red faction."】

【Fiore: "Are they still alive?"】

【Karna: "Yes, in order to let them transfer the Command Spells peacefully, Assassin used poison to lower their thinking ability, so I think they should be able to be treated."】

【Caules: "So, Red Lancer, what do you want us to do?"】

【"If possible, I hope you can save these five people."】

【Karna said seriously: "Although they are related to the Holy Grail War, they are already in a state of defeat; we cannot just let them stay here."】

【Caules: "This doesn't have any benefits for us, right?"】

【Saying that, but actually there were too many benefits.】

【The most important thing is that these are the elites of the Jewel Jewel Mage's Association; saving them can provide Yggdmillennia with chips to negotiate with the Jewel Jewel Mage's Association.】

Caules: "It's a pity, if we could really save them, the pressure on our Yggdmillennia could be reduced a little."】

Fiore: "What I gain is my luck, what I lose is my fate. Don't Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take it too seriously."】

Feng Xi: "To think you would also know the classical Chinese of ZG."】

Fiore: "Uncle Darnic, in order to deal with you, specifically had me study Eastern culture."】

【Karna: "Perhaps so, but I can only ask you to accommodate."】

【Fiore: "Red Lancer, if we save them, what are you willing to do? I think as a hero of charity, it's impossible for you not to have prepared any reward for us."】

【Karna: "That is indeed the case, but unfortunately, I have nothing I can give you."】

【Fiore: "Then, what do you think of your spear?"】

Waver: "Hey, hey, too greedy, aren't you? Isn't this just like making the opponent surrender directly?"】

Fiore: "Isn't negotiating conditions like this? I have to maximize the benefits as much as possible."】

Kayneth: "Indeed, if we could solve the Red faction's strongest combat power like this, it would be good. Unfortunately, Karna doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping."】

【Karna shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, giving you the spear is equivalent to expressing that I am handing over victory to you, so I can't do it. Because I have sworn to fight Black Saber Siegfried with all my might."】

【A reasonable reason, making Fiore unable to say anything more.】

【Caules, however, had a flash of inspiration and pointed at Sieg: "Red Lancer, since you said you swore to fight Siegfried with all your might, then if you can't defeat this guy within three minutes, can you let us go?"】

【Karna: "Hmm..."】

【Caules: "Because the situation is like this now. Siegfried can only exist in this world for three minutes, and he dedicated this precious three minutes to you. Then, in the present moment where you cannot win, don't you think it's equivalent to your defeat?"】

【Karna: "... ndeed, facing a warrior who gives his all within three minutes, yet having to spend more than three minutes to defeat him, there is no honor in that. I understand."】

【Sieg: "Wait a moment, Red Lancer, don't you think I will find a way to drag the battle beyond three minutes?"】

【Karna said calmly: "That doesn't matter. I swore to fight with all my might, and your tactic of choosing not to use your full strength and only intending to fight to a draw are two different things. Come to think of it, in this situation, I am the one with the most problems for not being able to finish you off within three minutes."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Does this count as being fooled?"】

Karna: "No, it's reasonable and fair. If you can't defeat the opponent when they are at their strongest, then even if you win, it has no meaning."】

【Karna: "Are you going to choose to escape?"】

【Sieg: "... efore that, I want to ask one thing: why do you want to save them?"】

【Karna: "Is it strange that I want to save them?"】

【Sieg: "Not strange, but—why?"】

【Karna: "They were once my Masters; that reason is enough. I couldn't protect them. Even though I am a Servant, I failed to complete this task. Even if they exit the Holy Grail War, I still want to save their lives. I myself also feel that this wish is a bit overstepping, arrogant..."】

【The three were stunned; where exactly was this arrogant?】

Waver: "You, even if you are humble, there has to be a limit."】

Karna: "Is that so?"】

【Karna: "Even so, I can only live in this way. And, this way of living... is unexpectedly quite refreshing."】

【Caules: "I understand, but the two of us alone cannot Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take these five people down."】

【Karna: "There is a room that can teleport to the ground. As long as I use magical energy, even I can send you back to the ground."】

【Caules: "Wait a moment, anyone should be able to complete this, right?"】

【Karna nodded, indicating of course.】

【Caules looked at Fiore and said: "... ister, it's over here."】

【"..."】

【Fiore nodded slightly and said: "Yeah, we must get in touch with Uncle Gordes and properly protect and manage them, so we have to return to the ground."】

【Chiron is dead; she is already out of this Holy Grail War.】

【Caules: "Huh? Only you are going back, Sister; I am staying here."】

【Fiore: "Eh?"】

【Caules: "Didn't I say it, I want to become Yggdmillennia, so I must properly witness the final result of this war."】

【Fiore: "But..."】

【Caules: "Red Lancer, please Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take us to the teleportation room; after all, we have to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take these Masters away."】

【Karna: "Understood."】

【Karna carried the three, while the remaining two were taken care of by Sieg and Caules; the strange group of four moved forward and soon arrived at the place Karna mentioned.】

【"Caules, please, you must come back alive."】

【"Yeah, I know, I will do my best to come back alive."】

【The door was closed; Fiore only felt the magical energy around her rioting and subconsciously closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she had already appeared on a small hill.】

【Fiore immediately contacted Gordes and asked him to send a vehicle to pick them up.】

Shishigou Kairi: "I didn't expect you would choose to stay."】

Gordes: "After all, the Black faction is also a participant; it's important for someone to witness it to the end."】

Fran: "Uuuu..."】

Fiore: "You idiot, what if you die! What's the point of me giving you the crest then!"】

Gordes: "It's okay, Sister; when we chose to board the Hanging Gardens, weren't we already prepared?"】

Fiore: "Idiot, this instead makes me, this sister, seem useless, going up and coming back without doing anything."】

Gordes: "Sigh, in such a great war, being able to save one's life in the end is already something to be thankful for."】
