Chapter 128 Oh, I've Grown Up

"No, I have no intention of forming an alliance with you to fight Gilgamesh together."

Waver's guess was very reasonable, but it was rejected by Jianchen Matou.

He shook his head and said, "The purpose of my coming here is to ask you to help me with something."

"Oh?"

These words aroused Iskandar's interest.

"What's the matter?" he demanded.

Matou Kenshin pursed his lips, looked at Iskandar who asked the question, and replied: "I hope you can help me keep an eye on Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu."

This is exactly what Jianchen Jianchen is worried about.

To deal with Gilgamesh, he has come up with the best method he can think of, and it is also the method with the highest chance of winning.

Can,
The only problem that was difficult to resolve was Emiya Kiritsugu.

Can we get rid of Emiya Kiritsugu first and then deal with Gilgamesh?

of course can.

but,

What should I do with Saber?
Emiya Kiritsugu was solved, but could Saber, who had lost her Master, even if the Master was incompatible with her, just ignore it?
the answer is negative.

What's more, by Kiritsugu Emiya's side, there is also Mrs. Irisviel.

That lady, however, has a very good relationship with Saber.

Therefore, if Emiya Kiritsugu is dealt with first, Saber will become an obstacle that cannot be avoided.

And Kenshin Matou had no intention of letting Saber leave.

Therefore,
That was why he resorted to such a desperate measure and came to old man Mackenzie's house in person to seek help from Iskandar.

"Saber?"

After hearing the answer from Matou Kenshin, Iskandar stroked his chin and pondered.

"She wouldn't do anything to take advantage of someone's misfortune, right?"

Iskandar expressed his doubts.

Although he had not been in contact with Saber for a long time, Iskandar could see what kind of king Saber was after just a short time together.

That's why he had doubts.

Jianchen Jianchen nodded, confirming Iskandar's statement:
"Saber is definitely not someone who would take advantage of others. Compared to despicable practices, what she wants in her heart must be a fair and just victory."

Praising Saber's noble character, Matou Kenshin quickly changed the subject:
"Saber certainly won't do that, but his Master, Emiya Kiritsugu, who is known as the Magician Killer and a man who will do anything to win, will definitely take advantage of others' misfortune!"

Matou Kenshin, who has a lot of experience of being forced to "sacrifice", knows very well what kind of person Emiya Kiritsugu is.

"Is that so?"

Iskandar nodded and understood the purpose of Jianchen Jianchen's move.

"Do you want me to keep an eye on Saber's Master, the man named Emiya Kiritsugu, while you deal with Gilgamesh?"

"No!"

Jianchen Matou shook his head to express his disapproval:

"I told you to keep an eye on Saber and her Master. Listen carefully, Iskandar, it's Saber and her Master! It's not just Emiya Kiritsugu, Saber is included as well!"

"what?"

Weber, who had been listening, could no longer sit still:
"Didn't you just say that Saber isn't the kind of person who takes advantage of others in distress? Why is she now..."

"I understand."

Iskandar understood what Jianchen Jianchen meant:
"Is Saber's Master such a despicable person?"

"That's right." Matou Kenshin confirmed Iskandar's statement: "Emiya Kiritsugu is such a shameless person, so if there is a chance, he will 100% use the power of the Command Spell to force Saber to do something she doesn't want to do."

"That's a terrible Master. I promise you, Master of Caster."

Iskandar, who looked down on Emiya Kiritsugu, crushed the can of wine in his hand and agreed to Kenshin Matou's request.

For this,

Jianchen Matou was not surprised.

From the beginning, before he arrived at the Mackenzie home, he knew the answer to this trip.

Given Iskandar's character, there was no reason to refuse his request.

"Wait, wait!"

When Waver heard that his Servant actually agreed to the other party's request, he shook his head like a rattle.

"Two of the seven servants have retired, leaving only five, and Caster's Master has two. The only ones left are us, Saber, and Gilgamesh, so..."

Weber looked up, and then saw nothing...

Weber, who had always needed to look up at Iskandar, subconsciously wanted to look up at Kenshin Matou.

But the wall with a world map pasted on it brought him back to his senses and he quickly lowered his eyes.

"If Iskandar goes to watch over Saber, we cannot rule out the possibility that Emiya Kiritsugu will order Saber to fight."

"Of course," Matou Kenshin did not deny this, "What do you want to say, Waver?"

he asked.

Weber hesitated for a long time before saying:
"It may sound mean, but for the sake of victory, I can't just ignore it."

Waver said this, lowering his head, not daring to look at Iskandar, because he knew that what he was about to say would definitely not be in line with Iskandar's wishes. But Waver had to say it because it was his own choice and his responsibility as Iskandar's master.

"Master of caster."

Waver stared directly at Jianchen Matou, his eyes gleaming with unprecedented determination:
"Although Caster, the king of the ancient Eastern country, has only taken action once and has not revealed anything else, even now that it is the end of the Holy Grail War, he is still extremely mysterious, but..."

Waver looked behind Jianchen Matou.

Of course he couldn't feel Uncle Liu's aura.

Not to mention Weber, Uncle Liu, who has the ability of "open-mindedness", is immune to all magical and mysterious powers.

In other words, except for the metaphysical sixth sense, all detection involving mystery or magic is ineffective on Uncle Liu.

Weber did this just out of his damn sixth sense.

He felt that Mr. Liu was to the left behind Jian Tong Jian Chen, so he continued speaking to that position:

"Could the mysterious caster have any unspeakable weaknesses?"

"For example, the Saber we are trading with this time."

As he spoke, his aura grew stronger and stronger, but after he finished speaking, Weber lowered his head and only dared to look at the ground.

He didn't dare to face his own followers.

Because he knew that Iskandar would definitely not like his behavior of "judging others by one's own standards".

He was also too embarrassed to look at Jianchen Jianchen.

Because his guess had no basis, it was just based on his feeling.

Guessed it right.
Then the alliance just reached will be invalidated.

guessed wrong,
He became a real clown.

Jianchen Matou looked at Waver who lowered his head. He was a little surprised. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again.

He knew that now was not the time for him to speak.

He looked at Iskandar, who was standing behind Weber and getting closer to him.

Iskandar glanced back at him.

Snapped!
A large palm hit Weber on the head, pushing his head down again.

Then, Iskandar grabbed Weber by his clothes and made him straighten his chest.

"Stand up straight, kid. Weren't you very impressive when you spoke just now? Why are you so discouraged now? You said something very impressive."

Iskandar's tone was surprisingly gentle.

It was not as Weber had imagined, the tone was one of contempt and disdain.

"Really?" Iskandar said, grabbing Weber's clothes. "Hasn't he grown a lot?"

"Boy, since you chose to speak out your inner thoughts in front of Master Caster without reservation, even if that thought is not very upright, your behavior is upright."

"I love so much."

Waver lowered his head, then raised it on his own initiative. He looked at his Servant, speechless for a moment.

At this time,

Jian Tong Jianchen waited until the two of them had finished communicating their feelings before speaking:

"Iskander is right. There is an old saying in my country that a gentleman is judged by his deeds rather than his heart. You did nothing wrong, Weber, so be brave and stand tall."

Waver's action was unexpected to Matou Kenshin,

But he had no nasty thoughts.

He also answered Weber's question truthfully:

"As for your guess, it's brilliant. But unfortunately, it's not correct."

"Saber has no special inhibitory effect on my servants. The reason you find it strange is probably because you were wondering why I didn't deal with Emiya Kiritsugu first and then Gilgamesh, but instead came to seek your help."

"I'm going to tell you the answer now, Weber."

"I hate Emiya Kiritsugu. No, hate is not enough to describe my feelings towards Emiya Kiritsugu. I should say that I really want to smash Emiya Kiritsugu to pieces and cut his flesh into pieces to feed the dogs."

"But, you all knew it during the banquet, so I have nothing to be embarrassed about now."

"I have a deep admiration for Saber, so I don't want her to leave the stage too early. Therefore, it is very troublesome for me to resolve Emiya Kiritsugu without creating an irreconcilable conflict with Saber. I haven't thought of the best solution yet."

"That's why I came here specifically to seek your and Iskandar's help."

This is why Kenshin Matou likes the two-dimensional world.

He was a failed online writer in his previous life, so he knew very well how to create characters.

Characters can be roughly divided into two types. One is a round character, whose personality is complex, changeable, and difficult to create. The most famous of them is Hamlet created by Shakespeare.

As for the other type of character, it is the flat character, also called the cartoon-type character. The personality of that type of character is very sharp and particularly prominent in some point, so it is easy to shape. Most characters in online novels and animations are of this type.

This world is the world of fate.

The people of this world, before he traveled through time, were their "Gods", characters created by the author.

because of this.

Only Kenshin Matou would do this, only he would be so sincere, and only he would exchange his sincerity for sincerity.

Therefore,
Every word he said at this moment was true, without a single lie.

This is his sense of security in this world.
