My name is Lin Hao,
Am I feeling sympathy for no reason?

Irisviel was not surprised by the information Illya had given that "Kiritsugu was ambushing outside Kenneth's workshop because of the breakdown of negotiations" and "this place will be attacked by four powerful assassins soon."
As a member of the Einzbern family, Irisviel herself has quite a lot of investigative methods, and since Illya can be summoned as a caster, the investigative methods she inherited and created will only be more And powerful.
In addition, the caster class is originally good at gathering intelligence. Heroic spirits occupying this class are generally good at layout or able to use powerful magic. The basic combat strategy is to conceal themselves, collect intelligence from other camps, and finally build the building with their own hands. Confront enemies who have stepped into traps from your advantageous position.
And this method of leaving the master alone and disappearing from time to time... seems very similar to Kiritsugu? Even after getting married, he often went out to seek justice - after returning, he should pay attention to the education of Illya in this era.
"Is that so? Then Caster, you must have a way to deal with it." Irisviel looked at her daughter gently.
"Hmm... I'll strengthen the nearby defensive barriers a little more. The frontal combat effectiveness of Lily is not enough." Ilia, who was looking around in the corridor, observed her surroundings and casually pushed Lin Hao, who was sitting next to her in a wheelchair, to Artoria: "Those magic traps outside are not for nothing. If you can break through all the way here, you won't have much energy left."
"I can-" The girl knight in the pure white skirt seemed to want to refute something, but the silver light of adjusting the magic barrier began to glow on Illya's hand, so she swallowed the rest of her words.
"Even if you have the confidence to fight against four, the opponent is an assassin and will not confront you head-on." Irisviel heard Lin Hao, the daughter's master, said to Artoria: "Assassin has captured her again." If you don’t reach Caster, they will come over on their own as long as you stay here.”
"I thought that I could join forces with Caster to keep all the invading enemies out of the courtyard. Even if the aura is blocked, they can't sneak in without my induction." Saber Lily pressed the belt on her waist. The position of the sword, answered seriously.
"Do you know? Caster once said to me, 'Everyone performs his duties and does his best.'" Although Lin Hao was sitting in a wheelchair, his attitude when speaking was still very confident: "My understanding of this, What kind of combination is needed depends on what kind of tactics and countermeasures should be adopted. Caster uses her position creation and magic abilities to weaken the intruding Assassins, and then Saber, who is excellent in melee combat, kills them all. This is the appropriate approach now, instead of Saber is used as a sensitive...er, lancer."
"Huh? But the other party will definitely think of such a normal countermeasure, right?"
"They are assassins. They are proficient in all kinds of unorthodox tactics. There is a great military strategist who once said, 'All warriors use the right combination to win by surprise.' If we mess up our position to attack them, we will be caught."
"Well, it seems to make sense..."
Irisviel smiled as she watched the two girls discuss "tactics" in a decent manner.
Although I have not asked carefully, this girl named Lin Hao was probably specially trained by a magic family with a long history in country C to inherit the family business. In addition to her sharp and bad attitude when facing Kiritsugu, Most of the time he is gentle and polite in his speech and behavior. Even if he is in a wheelchair, he will naturally show good manners in his movements.
Moreover, if Kiritsugu and Illya are not around, she will reveal her rich knowledge reserve and rigorous logical thinking ability. In addition, although she has not revealed it many times, for example, she was intercepted by a mass-produced Assassin on the national highway. hour.
From many details, it can be seen that Irisviel's magic level in combat and tactics is almost equal to hers, but her magic in daily life is a mess. Although Irisviel's previous speculation about the heir has been verified,... the good news is that it is to avoid Are there too many different opinions in this team and are they hiding their capabilities and biding their time?
Lin Hao, who was discussing at this time, noticed Irisviel looking at her, so she gave her a cute smile.
Irisviel smiled back and glanced at the legs of the girl in the wheelchair.
A very suspicious magic accident forced this outstanding girl to travel across the ocean to Japan to seek treatment. But was it really an accident?
Kiritsugu once brought her general information about the magic family in country C. Due to the large population, all of their magic seals could not be inherited by the best descendants. Instead, most of them were inherited by the first boy of the patriarch's first wife, and the rest were inherited. The descendants are distributed to the heirs of other family branches according to certain conditions. Therefore, in country C, families that have been passed down for too long are not very outstanding, because the magic engravings have been scattered, and only those with the label of "single inheritance for several generations" The heirs of the family are truly powerful.
Of course, the overall strength of the family needs to be calculated separately.
The fact that a girl will be raised as an heir proves that the family does not have a "legitimate son" - as it is called - who can inherit the family business. Judging from the situation in which Lin Haohui was given up, she is probably not a " legitimate daughter" but just a "legitimate daughter" She's just the eldest daughter.
And the person she would rather remain paralyzed to protect should be another candidate who was trained together with her. The two were suppressed after the real "legitimate son" appeared. As a woman, her advantage was not great. Unable to continue participating in the competition, the one who is truly "paralyzed" should be her younger brother, known as the "eldest son".
It seems that the Holy Grail also made some mistakes because it was unclear about the actual situation. Although Lin Hao has a strong wish, this situation called "house fighting" cannot be realized through a simple wish. After all, it is all his own. family.
The family situation in country C is really complicated and difficult to understand. Irisviel diverted her attention to see Illya strengthening the defensive barrier.

Maiya has transformed this tree house into a qualified observation post.
When Emiya Kiritsugu went out to "save the world", in addition to local informants and temporary collaborators, the one who participated the most was Kuu Maiya. She grew rapidly in a series of life-and-death actions, and her position also changed. Gradually, she changed from intelligence and logistics to support and coordination, and now, her identity is "partner".
In those operations, we often encounter situations where the target protects himself tightly, especially if there are poor assassins who have failed. They will protect themselves so airtight that any method of getting close is not feasible, and they are also tightly protected. They were guarding against long-range snipers, and in this situation, as snipers, they could only be more patient than their opponents.
Therefore, Maiya, as Kiritsugu's observer, was well adapted to the not-so-difficult action of simply hiding in a tree house and conducting latent surveillance.
Although it was early in the morning, she could still see the actions of Kenneth's camp through the sniper scope.
Rider, Lancer, and Webber were sitting around a table on the second-floor terrace, seemingly discussing something. Kenneth and Sola's rooms in the mansion had their curtains drawn, and they probably hadn't gotten up yet. Luna and the Assassin named Emile were still missing. The traces may have been obscured by magic.
"Magic..." Kuu Maiya's face remained expressionless, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
When Kiritsugu confessed that he was a magician, Maiya, who completely understood his mistake, asked Kiritsugu to turn her into a rabbit, but Kiritsugu hesitated for a while and actually turned it into a rabbit!
Perhaps it was that time that made Maiya have a strong interest in controlling familiars. Even though other magic is relatively sparse, the magic related to charming animals and communicating with animals is very good. For example, there are some rabbits in the nearby jungle now. , prairie dogs and birds were on alert for her—it was already bright, but the bats refused to come out.
Um? what is that?
The golden flash in the distant sky made Maiya close her eyes again to the sniper scope, and then an ancient spaceship named Kaishu, made of golden and emerald green and the magnificent vehicle of the Ancient King, appeared proudly in her lens.
Is this considered a major offensive? Maiya looked at the transmitter placed on the simple table hesitantly.

"What exactly do you want to do? King of Heroes."
On the golden ship, in addition to the equally shining Gilgamesh, there was also Kotomine Kirei who was inexplicably plundered aboard the ship as soon as he stepped out of the Holy Church. At this time, he was questioning the captain of the ship.
"Hmph, you dare to be dissatisfied with this noble car that I have gifted you?" Gilgamesh was leaning on the golden throne in the middle of the aircraft, drinking from a gorgeous gold cup, completely ignoring Qi. Li questioned: "Do you want to die?"
"I have something else to do. If you plan to show off this 'new' ship, you can go to Mr. Tokiomi." Qili walked towards the edge of Huizhou. Although he was not proficient in the magic of slow landing, there should be no problem in landing safely. He also We must cooperate with the four kings of Assassin who were sent to die before dawn to make the next plan.
A noble car? Counting this, this is already the third ship. Every time the King of Heroes drives this thing to attack, it will be shot down.
"Do you know? I hate gods, or I hate them extremely." Gilgamesh drank all the wine in the glass and threw it into the sudden golden ripples: "So, do you think this king is like you? What should be the attitude of a guy who considers himself a servant of God?"
"Do you want to kill it quickly?" Because there was an invisible wall blocking the edge of the Huizhou, Qi Li tried to push it a few times to no avail, so he had to turn around to see what Gilgamesh was going to do.
"No, what's the point?" Gilgamesh sneered: "I will induce them to discover their innermost desires, exaggerate and magnify them, and eventually make these so-called 'servants' embark on the same journey as him. Isn’t it ridiculous that God has the completely opposite way?”
"Obviously, you failed." Qili recalled the scene when he thought he was in trouble. At that time, Gilgamesh was obviously doing what he was doing at this moment.
"Failed? That's right. I didn't expect your god to be so interesting." The color of the Ancient King's eyes became darker: "So I am going to help you again. Your plans are in this There is no hiding from the king."
"How can you help?" Qi Li was very confident in his plan. Although he had taken advantage of all possible conditions, it was still not perfect, but if the Ancient King was willing to fill in the blank...
"I will lend you my Huizhou for the time being. If you do this, you will fail—hehehe."
Along with the cold laughter, the form of Gilgamesh's throne turned into a burst of golden light and disappeared.
