The strengthened dragon tooth soldiers surrounded the mountain man.
"Don't be like this. You are saving those innocent children, which shows that you are a kind-hearted person. I don't want the sword to be stained with the blood of people like you.
However, my master asked me to keep you involved, and I can't just watch you leave.
Therefore, I have to wait for my master to come and make a judgment about your arrangements.
Please rest assured that my master is also a little girl with a kind heart and a sense of justice. She should not make things difficult for you. "
"Dragon Tooth Soldier, deal with him!"
The Master couldn't believe it, let alone the enemy's servant. Medea's actions were understandable.
"Hey~"
Wang Hassan sighed, as if facing a naughty junior, he just slightly raised his heavy sword and struck it on the ground in front of him.
With a bang, a sound like the ringing of an evening bell could be heard in his ears. The Dragon Tooth Soldiers who were about to rush over and attack him were instantly scattered all over the place and turned into dust on the ground.
Medea only felt a death-like coldness, as if the executioner's decapitation knife had been close to her neck, making her scalp numb and her body trembling.
"How is it possible to cause a range-type dead line cut by sound alone...
No, I should say, why would a being like you be summoned as a servant? "
Medea trembled as she spoke, but she already understood one thing deeply. Not to mention that the magic position had been lifted. Even if it had not been lifted, she still had a lot of magic power that could be used in battle, and it could never belong to the servant in front of her. opponent.
Although those who were dealt with were only some enhanced Dragon Tooth Soldiers, the abilities displayed by them made her heart tremble. They were able to use instant death tricks to the point where they could be used to kill some of the most powerful warriors in her era. God is not a problem either.
"..."
Wang Hassan said nothing and had no intention of continuing to take action. He just stood there quietly and looked at the hooded woman.
Medea understood, gave up her plan to escape, and stood facing each other, waiting for things to develop.
Soon, all the remaining magicians in the villa were eliminated.
Sakura arrived here first and learned some information from her followers.
Weber and Gray entered the villa together and were told the situation by the girl.
"A servant who betrays his master?"
Weber scratched his head.
"Well, it's actually quite normal to have different views."
"Hey, teacher, is this normal?"
Gray looked confused.
"Of course, after all, even summoned familiars are at risk of losing control, let alone heroic servants with their own thoughts and wills."
"Brother, the question is not whether it is normal to discuss this matter, but what attitude and behavior should we use now to treat that Caster?"
Medea's behavior of saving the child made Sakura feel good about her. Like her servants, she did not want to hurt such a person.
However, Medea is a Heroic Spirit after all, and is a Servant with the title of Caster in this Holy Grail War. It is unreasonable to leave her alone.
Weber also knew this, thought about it carefully, discussed it quietly with Sakura, and then walked towards Medea.
The betrayal witch knows this very clearly and doesn't care about what bad things will happen to her later.
Thinking about it, the most it would be is death.
As a heroic spirit who has died once, although she cannot be said to be completely adaptable to the consequences of death, the fear caused by death can only have a slight impact after she calms down and cannot shake her at all. .
More importantly, she herself felt deep regret for returning to her former hometown, her wish that had not been fulfilled during her lifetime, and that she had not fulfilled her wish after death.
"Caster, right? After our discussion, you have two options: One, go back to the Hall of Valor, and I will set up an anti-summoning formation and send you back exactly where you are."
"So, what are the other options?"
"Sign a new contract with me and choose to join our side."
Waver pulled the sleeve of his right hand, revealing the back of his right hand without the Command Seal.
"But one thing you need to think clearly is that even if our side wins the final victory, you will not be able to get the Holy Grail to make wishes."
Medea was not surprised by this.
"Because the Holy Grail has been contaminated, but we entered the war with the intention of destroying the Holy Grail."
What happened next made her feel a little surprised.
"Okay, I will help you set up the anti-summoning formation and send you back to the Hall of Valor."
Weber continued.
"Wait, I haven't made my choice yet, why are you making it for me?"
Medea interrupted.
"Do you want to join a fight that has no benefits?"
Weber asked rhetorically.
Medea fell silent. Unlike Cu Chulainn on Lancer's side, she didn't have much desire to fight.
Although there is a need for the Holy Grail and a wish to be fulfilled, I just want to return to my former hometown, not to compete with some powerful enemies.
Therefore, her willingness to participate in the war is really not high. If she had not been summoned by the holy relic, she might not have responded to the summoning ceremony of the heroic spirit without the holy relic.
Just when Weber called Gray and asked the student to help him and set up the anti-summoning formation, Medea spoke: "What if I said that I plan to sign a new command spell contract with you?"
Weber was a little surprised by this, but he still pushed up his glasses and said like a clock tower lecturer: "Then I will welcome him with both hands. After all, this choice will give us an additional Heroic Spirit Servant-level combat capability."
"Aren't you worried?"
"worry about what?"
"betray……"
"My name is Medea, Princess of Colchis, a famous treacherous witch in history.
And just as I was called the betrayal witch, this time I betrayed the Master who summoned me, but I may also betray you.
So, would you be willing to enter into a so-called contract with a servant who may betray you at any time? "
the witch asked.
The slightly upward expression at the corner of his mouth was like a sarcastic sneer.
However, Medea is not questioning or mocking the man in front of her.
But he is just laughing at himself, his destiny has never changed.
During her lifetime, she spent her time being betrayed by others and betraying others.
And after she died, she became a heroic spirit, but she was still so miserable. It was simply a big joke played by fate on her.
Indeed, it made her laugh so much that she shed tears.
"why not?"
"Okay, quickly arrange the counter-summon...wait, what did you say?"
"I said, why don't I make a contract with you?"
"Didn't you hear clearly what I just said? I am the famous betrayal witch, Medea!"
"So what, the historical records are not entirely correct. For example, Iskandar was not a dwarf but a strong man."
Weber's next words were muttered.
"Come to think of it, the reason why you are called the betrayal witch is because you have many secrets that are not known to outsiders."
Weber's eyes looked to the side, at the children being rescued.
“Although I’m not an archaeologist, I know one thing: You can’t follow what others say.
As a teacher, I think I still have some spirit of seeking proof.
If you are willing to let people of the future generation know some of your private affairs.
Personally, I don’t mind hearing the so-called historical truth behind your reputation as a traitorous witch..."
Medea was a little stunned, staring blankly at Weber who said these words, and there were some waves in her heart.
"Of course, more importantly, I am confident in the strength of our side."
Weber added.
"Pfft~"
For some reason, these words made Medea laugh, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"He's really an honest guy..."
After looking at Wang Hassan, Medea said seriously.
"I choose to join you."
A new Teacher group is born.
But the Sakura camp has more than one servant-level combat power.
Just because Medea is a Caster and she happens to have good strengthening materials at hand.
"Give me these two golems. I can use strengthening magic to improve their performance to the point where they are no less powerful than a true servant with a Noble Phantasm!"
She said with great confidence.
Sakura, Gray, Weber, Mountain Master, Medea, plus two golems that are about to be transformed and strengthened. Even if Webber, who is average as a magician, is subtracted, they can almost form a servant by themselves. Level combat team.
. . . .
Three days have passed since I returned to Nagano Prefecture.
His wife asked about his daughter's condition, and the Asakami family leader just replied that everything was fine.
"The child just has some minor illnesses and is now receiving the best treatment in the hospital..."
On the grounds that the children at home were still young and belonged to the two of them, and still needed their mother's care, they blocked the wife's idea of visiting the doctor.
But every night, when his wife and children fell asleep, the head of the Asakami family was always a little unable to sleep.
Get up from the bed, go to the room near the courtyard, sit by the open stove, keep drinking sake, trying to relieve the melancholy in my heart, and the constant desire to change.
Fujino's mother remarried him, perhaps just because of an accident, but it was entirely his own choice that he fell in love with her.
Once upon a time, he also fell in love with Asakami and Fujino, as a stepfather who wanted to give the girl paternal love.
And when did that thought disappear?
[Yes, on that day...]
In the yard, the cherry blossom tree that had been growing for twelve years made the head of the Asagami family fall into memories.
Originally, there should be a bigger and older cherry tree in that place.
But that century-old tree was twisted and broken by an inexplicable force that day.
The reason was that his stepdaughter felt sad because an old dog at home died.
When I think of myself comforting the girl at that time, I saw with my own eyes that the big tree less than one meter next to me was twisted and broken by an inexplicable force.
The head of the Asakami family couldn't help but feel fear. That was by no means a power that humans should have, but a power that only monsters had.
But even so, his father told him at that time that he could let the girl encounter some unexpected situations. The head of the Asakami family also protected the girl because he loved the girl's mother and refused and did not agree to this proposal.
Instead, magic similar to a seal was used to seal that terrifying power.
To prevent the ignorant girl from using it again to hurt or even kill others.
Although, there are some aftereffects, but everything is fine.
And also because of the sequelae.
Her mother, her own wife, also had thoughts of having a new child.
However, since two years ago, after his daughter and son came into this world one after another, his stepdaughter, who made him feel a little scared, gradually became somewhat redundant in this family.
The head of the Asakami family originally wanted to send his stepdaughter to a boarding school in a distant city, far away from the Asakami family, so that he could leave her to fend for herself, but accidents always happened.
It was an accident that Asakami Fujino found out about his illness, and it was another accident that his wife still had feelings for the original child after having a new child.
Such accidents are not what the head of the Asakami family likes, but he is becoming more and more like his late father, and gradually becomes a conservative, wanting to make more unexpected things happen. People who are in control of themselves.
"That's it. After Fujino's death, my wife may be sad for a while.
But with two children, she will definitely cheer up soon.
For this family, Fujino is already an outsider.
And the death of an outsider will not have much impact on the Asakami family..."
Sipping sake, the master of the Asakami family said to himself.
"So, is this what you think of me, father?"
A soft voice sounded from behind, and the empty wine glass slipped from his hand due to too much shock and rolled around on the soft tatami.
"Fujino, why are you here?"
The head of the Asagami family turned his head stiffly, but he tried to keep his facial expression as normal as possible, trying to act as if what he just said had not been said, and trying to look a little surprised, and perhaps a little confused. .
"I was discharged from the hospital two days ago, and I have been investigating the matter of your wanting me to die, but I got some results.
But now, coupled with what you just said to yourself, I don’t have to confront you anymore.
I am a superfluous person in the family, so it is completely understandable that you want me to disappear and die. "
"No, Fujino, please listen to my explanation, I didn't do this..."
"Kacha~"
The wooden sliding door behind was twisted and broken, and the sound made the Asagami family owner stop talking.
And when the girl's unruffled eyes stared directly at him, his whole body started to tremble.
"Fujino, no, no, I am your stepfather and your mother's husband after all..."
The head of the Asagami family was lying on the tatami, his body hunched over, as if he was begging the girl for mercy.
"Please tell my mother that I am fine and my illness has been cured. However, from now on, I will no longer be a member of the Asakami family, but a person who helps me, Mr. SB..."
