"Lancer."
Sora walked out of the darkness and found Diarmait Odina standing alone under the moonlight.
"Lord Sora."
Diarmait took a step back and bowed slightly towards Sora to show his respect, with a worried expression on his face.
"Master him"
He was worried about Kenneth's condition.
"Kenneth is out of danger."
Sora's face showed excitement that could not be concealed, but for the time being he still maintained his reserve as a magician.
"However, physical conditions can be repaired, but those damaged magic circuits"
She pretended to have a pity and sadness expression, and shook her head gently.
".Is this so?"
Diarmait had pain on her face.
If, if I could get there sooner.
"Lancer, you don't have to be sad because of Kenneth."
Seeing Diarmait's expression, Sora's expression became solemn and he said quickly.
"Think about it, what did he say to you when he set out for Saber's stronghold?"
"He was hurt like this entirely because of himself, wasn't it? Even if he got his current ending, he deserved it."
Diarmait was stunned.
He turned his head blankly and looked at Sora.
"Sora-sama, what are you talking about?"
"Why do you speak so highly of the Master? He is your fiancé."
Sora took two heavy breaths.
"I understand. I'm sorry, Lancer. I just said some angry words. After all, Kenneth at that time, you clearly didn't deserve to be so harshly criticized."
Her words did not win any thanks from Diarmait.
Instead, Diarmait took a step back again with some vigilance.
"It was me who was wrong. Even if the master criticizes me, I don't think there is any problem. I have to work harder to win for him. And Miss Sola, you"
"Lancer."
Sora interrupted Diarmait.
"Kenneth, he can no longer continue the Holy Grail War as your Master."
".What?"
Diarmait was stunned.
Sora exposed the back of her hand, and two strokes of the Command Seal were clearly visible on the back of her hand.
"Kenneth, who just regained consciousness, has voluntarily handed over his command spell to me. From now on, we will pursue victory and the Holy Grail in this Holy Grail War as masters and slaves, I."
"No."
Diarmait's cold voice interrupted Sola's increasingly excited voice.
"well?"
This time, it was Sora who was stunned.
"Lord Sora, I - will not be loyal to you."
"This time when I appear in this world, I, Diarmuid, will only be loyal to my master, Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud."
"This is the same even if you are the Master's fiancée."
There was even a coldness in his words.
After saying that, he turned around.
"No, Lancer!"
Sora was frightened by Diarmait's attitude and screamed.
"I am also fighting for Kenneth!"
"Lancer, look at me, look into my eyes!"
Diarmait listened to Sola's voice, took a deep breath, sighed, and finally turned around and looked at Sola.
"Only when we win can Kenneth return to his original state, right? His current physical condition can't even walk on the ground. If we want him to return to his previous level, no matter magic or body, we have to get the final result. The Holy Grail, isn’t it?”
Sora looked at Diarmait with tears in his eyes.
What did Diarmait see in Sora's eyes?
Grievance, pain, and anger?
Why does it have to be Kenneth, why can’t I?
All Kenneth can give you is scolding and ridicule, but I, as a woman, can give you——
"Then please swear."
Diarmait didn't know what Sora was thinking, but that didn't stop him from knowing what Sora's purpose was.
"Please—please swear this as Lord Kenneth's wife."
"You will not act unfaithfully to your husband. You will fight for your husband's dignity and never rebel."
"Only in this way will I pursue victory with you."
Sora was stunned after listening to Diarmait's words, and then showed an ecstatic expression.
Although the content of the oath embarrassed her and Diarmuid saw through almost everything about her, she still fell into ecstasy.
At least this would make Diarmait obey her orders - wouldn't it?
“I, Sola Nazele Sophiali, the wife of Kenneth Ermelo Archibalud, swear that I will never act unfaithfully to my husband, Kenneth. Fight with dignity and never rebel.”
"If I betray you, please let me die miserably and fall into hell forever, without even the slightest possibility of pursuing the root cause."
Her oath is quite powerful. For a magician, such an oath is already the most terrifying oath.
Looking into Sola's eyes, Diarmait finally regained his composure.
He slowly knelt down on one knee facing Sora.
"I will be your gun during this period of time."
"Kiritsugu."
Kuu Maiya has woken up.
Emiya Kiritsugu's treatment was already very complete, and Kuu Maiya's own body repaired relatively quickly. The first thing she did after waking up was to contact Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Do you know about Archer? I have already passed the information to Ellie."
"Already heard about it."
Kuu Maiya, who was under the castle, nodded.
"When you set up a new stronghold, make sure it is far away from the Tohsaka residence."
"Archer killed the Master and lost the stable supply of magic power, but his threat is still huge, so don't take it lightly."
"I see."
"Then. I'll leave this matter to you."
The communication was hung up, and Emiya Kiritsugu sighed.
In an eventful time, after the Holy Grail War began, one thing happened after another without stopping.
However, Archer's master's death is good news for him.
He was originally thinking about how to kill Tokiomi Tokiomi, who had been hiding in his stronghold, but now it seems that he doesn't need to consider this issue.
After all, Tohsaka Tokiomi is dead.
He has confirmed the authenticity of the news. Tokiomi Tosaka's body was even chopped into two pieces. His wife has received the news and should rush back to preside over the Tosaka family as soon as the Holy Grail War ends. The overall situation is to recover the magic mark on Tokiomi Tohsaka.
"Of course, the most important thing now is Lancer's master. That guy won't die so easily."
"And the Assassin group. If the teacher dies, how should you, as a student, deal with it?"
"Kotomine Kirei."
Looking at the gun in his hand, Emiya Kiritsugu thought.
