Chapter 596

Astolfo: "And me, and me!"

Sieg: "Yeah, thank you, Rider."

Astolfo: "Oh my, don't call me Rider anymore, just call me Astolfo from now on."

Sieg: "Okay, Astolfo."

Astolfo: "(＾－＾)V"

Celenike: "Click-clack (sound of grinding teeth)..."

【Ding! The quiz will begin in ten minutes, please prepare yourselves, group members.】

【Note: This is the final round of this quiz. At the end, special rewards will be sent to each group member based on their previous quiz performance.】

Tohsaka Rin: "Is this quiz ending too?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "But the Holy Grail War ended a step before the quiz."

Waver: "Yeah, last time in the Fourth Holy Grail War, we all waited until the quiz ended to finish."

【Ding! The first question is about to begin!】

【This is an unscheduled buzzer-beater question. The buzzer-beater will happen at an unscheduled time in the video, and the answering method will alternate between multiple-choice and Q&A.】

【Each question has a 1-minute time limit, and all group members can buzz in.】

【Correct answers get 3 Saint Quartz, wrong answers deduct 1 Saint Quartz. If no one answers correctly within 1 minute, it counts as void.】

【Please pay attention to the video below.】

Waver: "It's not limited to a set number of questions this time, which means we can't be sure how many questions will appear until the end."

Kayneth: "It's starting to test the group members' reaction ability completely."

Feng Xi: "Maybe a question will suddenly pop up when the video ends."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Very likely."

Fuxi: "Hahaha, this is interesting."

【Video starts.】

【After a night of fighting, the Black faction suffered heavy losses, with only Chiron left as a Servant, and Astolfo who became Sieg's Servant.】

【Helpless, Fiore could only accept the proposal of Jeanne and Shishigou, and the three parties formed an alliance.】

【In this way, their Servants included Jeanne, Chiron, Mordred, Astolfo, and Sieg who could transform into Siegfried.】

【Well, compared to the Red faction, it's still far from enough, but there's no other way; they can't find anyone else.】

【Jeanne and Chiron recounted what happened at the Hanging Gardens, and Fiore felt a headache after hearing it.】

【The amount of information was a bit too much.】

【Fiore stated that she would go to track the Hanging Gardens, which would take about three days.】

【Shishigou and the others had to find a way to get a prop that could board the Hanging Gardens, as well as deal with the Red faction's Archer.】

【After all, with Atalanta there, even if they could fly, it would be very difficult to board the Hanging Gardens.】

【The task distribution was completed, and Jeanne and Shishigou's sides dispersed.】

【On the Black faction's side, although they were exhausted after a night, Fiore had no time to rest because of Darnic's death; she had to quickly take over the position of family head to stabilize the morale.】

【And Gordes, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, went to treat the injured homunculi.】

【Watching all this, Chiron found Caules and asked about Fiore's situation.】

【He was worried that Fiore would not be able to manage the forces under Yggdmillennia and would suffer instead.】

【Caules had the same worry and told Chiron a story from their childhood.】

【At that time, Fiore raised a puppy and liked it very much, but their father cruelly abused and killed the puppy just to show off the family's magic.】

【Fiore could not reveal her sadness and pain, and had to force a smile to deal with her parents, only daring to cry to him, her younger brother, in the dark.】

【For a long time after that, Fiore almost suffered from depression, and it was he who stayed by his sister's side and comforted her.】

【The cold parents only had Fiore's talent in their eyes and never cared about their hearts.】

Caules: "Sister..."

Chiron: "Master, are you okay?"

Fiore: "Rest assured, things are in the past, don't underestimate me."

Fiore: "Also, I am no longer your Master, just call me by my name."

Chiron: "Is that so? Then you can call me directly in the future too."

Fiore: "Yeah."

Six-Daughter Reika: "I say, are you mages all such cold-blooded and ruthless humans?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "..."

Kayneth: "..."

What could they say? Most mages nowadays are like this, especially those mage families that have been passed down for a long time; almost every family is like this, and the two of them are already considered relatively subtle.

【Astolfo followed Sieg and Jeanne back to their residence, and after some remarks that gave Jeanne a headache, they all returned to their rooms to rest.】

【Exhausted after a night, they had to replenish some sleep quickly.】

【Astolfo ran directly to sleep with Sieg.】

Celenike: "Click-clack-snap (sound of teeth being crushed)..."

【In his dream, Sieg found that he had turned into Siegfried, facing the legendary evil dragon Fafnir alone.】

【The pressure of the evil dragon's terrifying strength made him understand how much gold Siegfried's dragon-slaying had.】

【Subsequently, he was awakened by Jeanne; it turned out that he had slept for half a day without knowing it.】

【Jeanne thought he was having a nightmare, which was why she woke him up.】

【Then a dramatic scene occurred: Astolfo came out after taking a bath, and his bath towel accidentally fell off, which made Jeanne blush.】

【It turned out that Jeanne had always thought Astolfo was a girl.】

Jeanne: "Rider!!!"

Astolfo: "Hahaha, you can't blame me for this, you misunderstood it yourself."

Jeanne: "Don't you know how to avoid suspicion yourself!"

Astolfo: "Oh my, I don't care that I was seen, what are you caring about!"

Jeanne: "..."

She was wrong; she shouldn't have argued with this guy who had a hole in his brain.

【After some chaos, Jeanne and the others finally calmed down with the arrival of Chiron.】

【Chiron had only one purpose for coming: he hoped Jeanne could deal with Jack the Ripper.】

【It turned out that just last night when they were fighting, dozens of Yggdmillennia mages in Trifas were all killed, and the one who did it was Jack.】

【The Black faction determined that Jack had completely lost control and decided to solve this uncertain factor first, but the Black faction only had one Chiron left, and he couldn't support it alone, so he could only come to seek Jeanne's help.】

【Of course, there were only three days left, after all, they would launch a general attack on the Red faction's lair in three days.】

【Thus, Jeanne and Astolfo were responsible for the new town, while Chiron and Caules were responsible for the old town, splitting into two paths to find Jack's tracks.】

【Jeanne and the three went to the home of a missing mage and found the corpse hidden in the basement.】

【The heart was dug out, the person had been tortured before death, and was dismembered before dying.】

【It could be determined that it was Jack's doing; from the means, one could see that the opponent was very cruel and dangerous.】

【After the two sides converged, they found another corpse that had been burned to death, who had also been tortured before death.】

【In order to figure out Jack's purpose, Caules decided to use magic to replay the memories of this corpse before death.】

【Doing this had a problem, which was that it was equivalent to him having to experience what happened to the deceased before death; from the miserable state of this corpse, one could see that it would definitely be very painful.】
