After traveling around the world, Kenshin Matou and his crew returned to Fuyuki City.

The Matou family residence.

Everyone gathered in the open space in the front yard.

There is of course a reason for doing this. Without a reason, there wouldn't be so many people gathered together, and they wouldn't be in the courtyard, but in the living room, drinking tea, drinking wine, or chatting.

The reason they gathered together at this time was naturally because of the Holy Grail War.

An improved version of the Fifth Great Magician Clash Holy Grail War.

Sakura hasn't said what the competition is designed for, but she has called everyone who will participate in the competition to the courtyard.

There is also Fujimura Taiga who came uninvited.

What is missing is the live broadcast that was available for previous competitions.

This was Sakura's request. Although he didn't know why, as a brother, Kenshin Matou could never refuse his sister's request.

So live streaming is very natural, it’s gone.

The enthusiastic audience who were waiting for the game could not compare at all to his lovely sister.

"Sakura, what is this contest you planned? Why did you call all of us to the courtyard?"

Jianchen Matou was still holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He was in a good mood these days, and Iskandar and Waver were also in a good mood.

A Holy Grail War without fighting was the greatest surprise of Waver's life, as he was forced to come to Fuyuki to summon Iskandar.

Not only did she get to meet her king, but she could also compete with him, and no one would get hurt (except for Miss Rin who was upset because of her poor ranking).
To Weber, all of this seemed like a dream.

Iskandar is much the same.

Although this king is not afraid of war and even likes it, he has experienced too many wars. This new type of Holy Grail War is more in line with his wishes.

The 'Conquer, Climb the World's Highest Peak' competition a few days ago was the happiest 'war' that Iskandar had participated in since he participated in the two Holy Grail Wars.

Kenshin Matou's happiness is different from that of Waver and Iskandar.

He was happy that the Holy Grail War was proceeding in an orderly manner. At this pace, it would end soon, but now——

His most beloved sister and favorite opposite sex, Sakura, has come of age!

From then on, all the women in the Matou family who had relationships with Matou Kenshin reached the age to get married.

This is the greatest joy for Jianchen Matou.

So the three of them, who were all very happy, gathered together on this sunny afternoon, opened a few bottles of good wine, and while enjoying the beautiful spring scenery, they drank the delicious wine and talked about the past.

It can be said that, just be free and easy and leisurely, time cannot be seized suddenly!

It was at this time that Sakura pushed open the door, called the three of them who were leisurely enjoying the scenery and drinking, and pulled them into the courtyard.

So at this time, Jianchen Matou and Iskandar both had a bottle of fine wine in their hands.

Waver didn't. Due to his poor alcohol tolerance, he drank very little, just enough to taste. So he was not like Jianchen Matou and Iskandar, who felt that they didn't drink enough and chose to walk out with the bottle.

Miss Rin, Illya, Mrs. Irisviel and others who were standing beside Kenshin Matou had similar expressions. They were also suddenly pulled out by Sakura.

Not sure what to do.

There was still a hint of confusion on his face, and he was wondering in his heart what had happened.

Sakura naturally understood their questions. After hearing her brother's question, she had no intention of keeping them in suspense, although what she was going to do next was a bit unethical.

But for her real goal, Sakura feels that these are things that don't need to be taken seriously.

She walked in front of the crowd and said:
"Ah, the previous two games were very exciting."

"Whether it's a racing competition held by Mrs. Irisviel, it's perfect for my taste and I can devote myself to it."

"The competition held in Iskandar is very exciting, as it perfectly fits the word 'conquer' and 'conquer, climb the highest peak in the world'."

“I really enjoyed those games, too.”

"but……"

When everyone heard the word "but", they knew that the real focus, that is, the content of the competition designed by Sakura, was about to begin.

Jianchen Matou also showed an interested expression.

After all, this was a competition designed by her beloved sister.

"Those games took too long, which is fine, except that..."

“I wanted to come up with a short race.”

After hearing this, everyone understood. Iskandar touched his chin and asked, "So, what is the competition you designed?"

"We still don't know anything about it."

"In this environment," Iskandar looked around the courtyard, "it's really hard to guess the specific events of the competition."

What Iskandar said made sense, and everyone agreed.

Only Miss Rin, Sakura's biological sister, felt that something was wrong.

The sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly today, but Miss Lin always felt that there was a dark cloud floating above her head, and her chances of turning things around in the upcoming games were becoming increasingly slim.

Sakura's words were the final straw that broke the camel's back for Miss Rin.

"No need to guess, the game I designed is very simple, and it won't even delay today's lunch."

Everyone who heard this looked different.

But the one with the widest eyes was not the contestant, but Matou Kariya, who was able to watch the game in the front row because the venue was in his own yard.

Matou Kariya, the chef of the Matou family, is particularly sensitive to three time periods.

The first time is seven o'clock in the morning, which is the breakfast time for the Matou family.

The second time is twelve noon, which is the lunch time for the Matou family.

The third time is eight o'clock in the evening, which is the dinner time for the Matou family.

After ten years of fixed memory of these three time periods, Matou Kariya now doesn't even need to look at his watch to roughly estimate the current time.

At half past eleven!

This is the time estimated by Matou Kariya.

He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was 11:31.
It was just a one minute error.

It is precisely because of this that Matou Kariya feels unbelievable.

You know, in the previous competitions, even the shortest car race took several hours, and the "Conquer, Climb the World's Highest Peak" designed by Iskandar took nearly a week.

And now Sakura actually said that the competition she designed will start at this time and will not even delay lunch after it ends.

Such speed, in such a courtyard, really surprised Matou Kariya.

The other contestants were also curious.

Only Miss Lin, who knew her younger sister better than her elder sister, realized that something was wrong.

"The competition I chose is very simple. It is a competition that can be found in many sports. It is not difficult. It is neither as hard as the competition held by Iskandar, nor does it require as much skill as the competition held by Mrs. Irisviel. It is a competition that many children can participate in."

Everyone present was very smart. Based on Sakura's introduction and the environment in the courtyard, they easily guessed what kind of competition she wanted to hold.

Some people were disappointed but didn't say anything.

After all, everyone's needs are different.

Mrs. Irisviel and Iskandar are the type of players who care more about the process of the game than winning it, and there is nothing wrong with Sakura being a player who cares more about winning.

The two just make different choices.

"That's right. What I'm going to hold is a track and field competition. There won't be any divisions of hundreds of meters. That would be too troublesome. The competition I designed is only a hundred meters. If there is no problem, we can hold it now."

The mansion of the Matou family was renovated ten years ago after the attack by Hisau Maiya, and after the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Matou Kenshin renovated and designed it again.

Therefore, the current Matou family not only no longer has the gloomy feeling it had when that old bug Matou Zouken was alive, but also occupies a much larger area.

It is quite easy to draw a 100-meter running track in the courtyard.

in this way.

After Sakura marked the course, the race officially began.

The first players to take the stage were the combination of Matou Kenshin and Altria.

The intention of the competition held by Sakura was very obvious. Compared with the previous two competitions, it could be said that there was no fun at all. She just maximized the advantages of her servant and wanted to win the game easily.

Although no one blamed anything, Kenshin Matou was still a little worried, so after the game started, he pulled Miss Altria to go on stage first.

Yes--

Because she was not good at this competition, Miss Medea once again chose to give up and temporarily transferred the status of servant to Miss Altria.

Poor witch lady...

"Brother, you don't have to go on the field. This time, the competition does not require the cooperation of the Master and the Servant. Only the Servant can participate alone. In addition, you cannot use any mysterious power. You can only rely on your own strength."

Sakura explains the rules of the game in more detail.

The desire to win was barely concealed.

It’s almost like saying it clearly, compared to the fun and meaning of the competition, I want to win more!
Jianchen Matou retreated.

Ms. Altria looked at Sakura.

Sakura nodded and said, "Ready, 3, 2, 1! Game on!"

Swish!
In almost an instant, Miss Altria rushed out. Even without the help of the wind, her speed was still very fast among the contestants this time.

Last time in the 'Conquer, Climb the World's Highest Peak' competition, Ms. Altria came in fourth place, entirely because of her Master, Kenshin Matou, who held her back.

Otherwise, no matter what, she should be the one competing for the championship with Hercules, Iskandar, Gilgamesh, and Medusa.

This time, without the Master holding her back, Miss Altria was able to finally display her full strength without any reservations.

"Miss Altria's 100-meter race result is—"

"4.3761 seconds!"

Standing at the end of the runway, Kenshin Matou's magic outfit - high-tech magic creature, clockwork elf, Aureliana, told the specific time.

No one raised any objections at this time.

Kenshin Matou's level of magician is still very trustworthy.

"That's amazing, Leah."

Jianchen Matou praised without mentioning the last competition. They were an old couple and it was normal for a couple to praise each other, but there was no need to apologize.

"Well, hopefully it will be a good result."

Miss Altria naturally wanted to win, but she wasn't as eager as Miss Rin and Sakura. Under the current premise that the chances of winning were slim, although she had not lost her desire for victory, she didn't intend to force it. Do your best, and let the rest go with the wind.

This is exactly Miss Altria's attitude towards this Holy Grail War.

After Miss Altria finished, the second contestant to take the stage was Hercules.

Before the game started, the little angel Illya wanted to discuss with her mother to design two games suitable for herself and Hercules to win, but she finally rejected it.

Because the little angel Illya feels that her mother's happiness is more important than her own victory.

This is also the reason why the race designed by Mrs. Irisviel would be her favorite car race, rather than a race that would be more conducive to Illya and Hercules winning.

Because of this, little angel Illya can better understand Sakura's intentions.

She also planned to make it easier for Hercules and give him an advantage in the competition she designed, and it would be best if he could win a championship. After all, it would be embarrassing if he didn't win a championship in six competitions.

Hercules got into position.

Sakura said, "3, 2, 1! The game begins!"

boom!
If Miss Altria's speed is lightness, then Hercules' speed is undoubtedly great strength!

The place where Hercules had just stood in the Matou family courtyard had turned into a deep pit.

Noticing this, Illya covered her forehead with her hands.

But I don't really care.

Because this is really not something that needs to be cared about. Let alone a little land, even if the Matou family's house was demolished, her brother would not say anything.

Illya is more concerned about Hercules' grades now.

At this time, Orianna's voice also sounded.

"The result of the Hercules runner in the 100-meter race is—"

"4.8561 seconds!"

If Fujimura Taiga were commentating, he would definitely say, "What a shame, he was only slightly behind Ms. Altria. What a shame, he had a great chance of getting a higher ranking."

But unfortunately, the commentator this time was Aureliana, who simply recounted the achievements of Hercules without any other extra words.

The third player to come on stage is Gilgamesh.

This surprised Sakura.

She originally thought that her sister would need more time to accept the reality, but she didn't expect that she would accept the fate of failure so quickly.

She looked at her sister, but saw nothing.

"3, 2, 1, the game begins!"

Sakura couldn't figure out what was going on, so she had to focus on the game.

Gilgamesh did play a good game and rushed out as soon as the game started. However, compared to Miss Altria and Hercules, Gilgamesh obviously had no experience. Although his physical fitness was very good, it was difficult to evaluate the numerical values ​​he performed.

"Gilgamesh's performance in the 100-meter race is—"

"5.2161 seconds!"

Thus, the first athlete whose time exceeded five seconds appeared in this 100-meter race.

This is obviously not a result that Miss Rin and Gilgamesh can accept.

Both of them looked unhappy.

The relationship between this pair of Masters is very delicate at this time, with the Master disliking the Servant and the Servant disliking the Master.

This is also easy to understand.

In the first car race, it was Gilgamesh's spaceship 'Vimana' that tricked Miss Rin, causing her to take last place.

This time, it was Gilgamesh who tricked Miss Rin.

In the second 'Conquer, Climb the World's Highest Peak' competition, Gilgamesh performed very well and got the fourth place, far exceeding the last place in the previous racing competition. However, because of Miss Rin, their group's final result was fifth place, the second to last place.

This time, it was obviously Miss Rin who tricked Gilgamesh.

After the two of them tricked each other once, they came to the third 100-meter sprint competition.

And Gilgamesh's performance...

After Gilgamesh left the field, it was Iskandar who came onto the field.

Although he seems to be not good at running, and the last time he was promoted to rider was because of his mount, we can still look forward to Iskandar's speed.

“3, 2, 1! The game begins!”

Following the order, Iskandar also rushed out.

A few seconds later, Orianna's voice came.

"Iskander's 100-meter race result is—"

"5.2157 seconds!"

As soon as the results came out, Weber and Iskandar immediately smiled.

Speed ​​is not something Iskandar is particularly good at, not to mention that his job in this competition is Saber, so the two of them are very satisfied with this result.

Only Miss Rin and Gilgamesh's faces turned darker.

This is not a difference of one second, it is a difference of 0.001 second. However, it is this difference that makes their ranking drop by one place.

With the addition of Medusa, who is almost a stable champion, their best possible result now is fifth place, which is second to last.

After Iskandar left the stage, Mrs. Irisviel came on stage.

She was smiling, but it was a bitter smile.

Unlike her competitors, those servants who all had monstrous physical qualities, Mrs. Irisviel only inherited the abilities of the 'Winter Saint', but not her physical qualities.

And even if she did inherit it, the 'Winter Saint' would probably be a magician-like character, without any particularly strong physical qualities.

In any case, Mrs. Irisviel still stood on the competition field.

“3, 2, 1! The game begins!”

After hearing the sound again, Mrs. Irisviel rushed forward again. In order to facilitate the competition, she even went back to her room to change into clothes that were convenient for running.

It’s a pity that this dress doesn’t have any additional benefits.

Orianna's cold voice sounded again: "Irisviel's result in the 100-meter race is—"

"7.5800 seconds!"

After the news spread, everyone went to comfort Mrs. Irisviel, who had just finished the race.

Among them, Jianchen Matou's consolation is particularly noteworthy:
"Don't be discouraged, ma'am." He said, "The world's number one sprinter has a 9.58-meter time of seconds. Ma'am, you have surpassed the human limit by two seconds! This is already amazing!"

Mrs. Irisviel nodded, accepting Kenshin Matou's comfort.

She didn't feel anything about being ranked last, after all, it wasn't the first time. The last time Iskandar held the 'Conquer, Climb the World's Highest Peak' competition, she was ranked last.

It’s nothing to be ranked last at this time.

She just felt a little uncomfortable because she just felt that when so many heroes were competing in physical fitness, it was not quite appropriate for her, a mortal, er, a magician, to go there.

After Mrs. Irisviel's exit, only the designer of the competition, Sakura's Servant Medusa, was left out of the six contestants.

Everyone looked at her and found that she had walked onto the competition field without them noticing.

She posed in a prone position, showing off her seductive body to the fullest. Fortunately, Sakura changed Medusa's clothes before the game, so there was no exposed part that would not pass the review.

“3, 2, 1! The game begins!”

Sakura looked at her Servant, full of confidence.

This competition was not held suddenly.

Sakura, who was very eager to win, had conducted many tests before the start of this game, and the results of each test were far better than those achieved by all the players currently on the field.

In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, this victory will still belong to her.

She is about to achieve three consecutive championships!

if nothing unexpected happened.

"There must be no accidents!"

Sakura crossed her arms over her chest, thinking nervously.

Fortunately, Medusa didn't let her Master maintain this tense mood for too long, because just as this emotion began to brew in Sakura's heart, the game was over.

The voice of the Clockwork Spirit, Aureanna, who coldly announced the contestants' scores, rang in Sakura's ears once again. It was obviously the same voice, but Sakura felt it was different.

Because in the first five times, the results announced were those of other contestants and the Master.

This time, it was her own.

"Medusa's performance in the 100-meter race is—"

"3.9563 seconds!"

Appeared!
In the first 100-meter race, a runner who ran under three seconds appeared.

And this player is a well-deserved champion.

"call…"

There were no unexpected situations, and the servants even performed beyond their expectations, so Sakura finally put her mind at ease.

competition is over.

Sakura was the champion, Miss Altria was the runner-up, and Hercules was the third place.

Iskandar is fourth, Gilgamesh is second to last, and Mrs. Irisviel is last.
