Chapter 75: Gilgamesh is pleased and discovers a toy
In a mysterious forest far away from the downtown area.

The evil, terrifying, tentacle-wielding evil sorcerer (crossed out) berserker is attacking the petite, blonde, pure knight whose body is forever frozen at the age of fifteen.

In a special comic, this is simply the ultimate plot!
Unfortunately, this is not a special comic book world.

Although Altria Pendragon's body was frozen at the age of fifteen, she was indeed the pure Knight King.

But she is not as she seems: weak, powerless, pitiful, helpless, poor (human heart), and inedible!

"Ha!" The tone adds strength.

Saber shouted, and with the sword in her hand, she cut off the attacking tentacles as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Can……

She frowned and looked towards the center of the battlefield, at the monster that looked like a 'mountain of flesh'.

For some unknown reason, the monster went crazy after just one look at her, and then started attacking indiscriminately!
In order not to harm innocent people, Saber led them to this forest.

Irisviel also drove back to the castle alone, and her master Emiya Kiritsugu should have received the news by now.

and many more!

That was, "Irisviel?"

"Watch out! Irisviel!"

Unlike the thick tentacle that attacked her, a very thin but absolutely powerful tentacle attacked in Irisviel's blind spot!
"what?"

Hearing the warning, Irisviel turned around.

Her pupils widened and she wanted to release magic with her hands, but... it was too late!
"Am I going to die here? Einzbern's long-cherished wish has not been fulfilled, Kiritsugu's ideal has not been realized, and Illya, she has not grown up yet... I really want to see Illya again, I really want to..."

"It's alright ma'am."

As the words fell, the tentacles were chopped off.

The handsome heroic spirit took on a physical form, with its tall body standing in front of him.

Irisviel looked up and saw Lancer, who had duelled with Saber before, and... a child sitting on Lancer's shoulders, who was about the same age as her daughter Illya.

"Irisviel, are you okay?"

After cutting off the tentacles that blocked her way, Saber, concerned about his wife, came to Irisviel's side.

"I'm fine, Saber."

Irisviel waved her hands, a look of panic still on her face.

"Thanks, Lancer."

After confirming that Irisviel was fine, Saber thanked her admiring opponent.

Diarmuid shook his head:

"Although it was in line with my original intention, I helped at this person's request."

Saber's gaze moved to the direction Lancer was pointing, and she saw a child with a strange smile.

"This is……?"

Irisviel asked from the side.

"Hello, Madam Einzbern, I am the current head of the Matou family. My name is Matou Kenshin."

"Hey?"

Lancer and Saber beside him defended against the tentacles that kept attacking.

Irisviel asked doubtfully:
"Isn't Mr. Matou Zouken the current head of the Matou family? Besides, your age..."

Because of Illya, Mrs. Irisviel now has no resistance to children at all.

"That old man is dead. As for the reason... Sorry, this is a private matter of the Matou family."

"No, no, I should be the one apologizing. I was too presumptuous." Mrs. Aliceviel quickly waved her hands, feeling ashamed of her impolite behavior.

"Hey, let's talk after the battle is over. The current situation... is not good."

Holding both magic spears in his hands, Diarmuid continued to slash at the attacking tentacles.
He has some concerns:
"That meat-mountain guy must be planning some ultimate move or something. If we don't deal with him quickly, we'll be in trouble..."

"Lancer and I have the same idea, Irisviel."

The blue and white battle robe was covered with dark green blood, and Saber agreed with Diarmuid's statement.

"That……"

Irisviel just opened her mouth.
He was ruthlessly interrupted by Jianchen Jianchen:
"But," he looked around at the two Servants in front of him, "Saber, the injury on your left hand caused by Lancer hasn't healed yet, right? And Lancer, the magic power that provides you with movement should be running low, right?"

silence.

Saber's expression was stern, her dark green eyes full of vigilance. She jumped to Irisviel's side and protected her behind her.

Diarmuid stood there, neither speaking nor moving, as if he had become a sculpture.

Only the spear that kept cutting off the tentacles was still dancing, proving that he was still alive.

"And," Matou Kenshin continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Assassin should be hiding in the dark now, and Rider should be there too. As for Acher, we can only pray that he's gone."

Matou Kenshin was talking to himself, totally unaware of the gazes that Irisviel and Saber were giving him.

In the basement of the Tousaka family.

The dim light shone, and due to the lack of lamp oil, half of Tōsaka Tokiomi's face was dark, and the other half was bright.

After hearing the voice of Matou Kenshin from his familiar, Tōsaka Tokiomi remained silent.

On the other end of the line, Kotomine Kirei, who had been connected to Tōsaka Tokiomi, did not speak either.

Gilgamesh transformed from a spirit into a physical body. He crossed his arms and a look of interest flashed in his eyes.

Because of Tōsaka Tokiomi's suicidal advice, he felt bored with his own Master, and developed a strong interest in the Master's disciple, Kotomine Kirei, and completed his life guidance.

For Gilgamesh, it is not difficult to know the ending of Tōsaka Tokiomi and what will happen in the future.

but……

The long time is really hard to kill.

If you know everything in advance and don't experience it yourself, you will lose a lot of fun.

Just like a fine wine.

Wine is a kind of thing that the more you pay attention to its quality, the more you feel it has endless mysteries, and the most important thing to add depth to the wine is time.

Without the weight added by time, the secular, noble or humble, would be too bland for the most ancient king.

At this time,
He found an interesting toy, a toy that was much more fun than Kotomine Kirei.

"Shichen, it seems that the Holy Grail War is still interesting. An ordinary cultivator actually saw through my identity earlier than those useless Heroic Spirits."

“Hahahaha, that’s really funny.”

After saying this to himself, Gilgamesh left, completely ignoring the ugly expression on his master's face.

A long silence.

Neither Tōsaka Tokiomi nor Kotomine Kirei on the other end of the phone spoke.

In the dim basement, the only sound was Tōsaka Tokiomi's breathing.

The current head of the Matou family, Matou Zouken, is dead?
These two questions were deeply engraved in Tōsaka Tokiomi's heart.

this moment,
he,
alone,

I didn't think about why the Matou family, which already had Matou Swordsman, would ask for Sakura to be adopted.
