*Swish!* *Swish!* *Swish!* *Swish!*
Cu Chulainn's crimson spear danced, leaving a dazzling trail in the air. The sharp spearhead effortlessly sliced through the sticky and repulsive tentacles. In the span of a breath, all the oncoming tentacles were severed.
Realizing that direct confrontation was ineffective, the giant sea demon quickly changed its tactics. Countless tiny tentacles emerged from the ground, carrying a sharp whistling sound, transforming into chains as the...

Along the way, only Homura and Nozomi conversed, while the others, including Honoka, barely spoke and merely listened.
It couldn't be helped.
Once certain things, especially things outside common sense, were brought up, they could definitely cause a sense of discomfort, and the adjustment period varied from person to person.
While the girls in Another Dimension who had been with Homura for a long time adapted quickly and were even able to talk to him normally right then and ...

In a certain dungeon floor, a desolate land where not a blade of grass grew.
It was a vast expanse composed of rocks and gravel, everything tinted in shades of reddish-brown.
The flying sand pervaded the barren earth.
The turbid air expanded in the space.
In this floor that looked like it had been deserted for ages and where people basically never set foot, a war erupted.

The battle had lost its suspense from the beginning.
Under the powerful assaults of Arkhan, Artoria, Cu Chulainn, and Iskandar, the sea demons summoned from another world by the Prelati's Spellbook were as fragile as infants.
In less than five minutes, they were all slaughtered.
"Guhahaha! Exciting! This is the kind of battle I haven't had in ages. Indeed, fighting side by side with comrades on the battlefield is the most enjoyable thing. Berserker, Lancer, Saber, have you c...

Hidden in the shadows, the monsters known as sea demons emitted sharp, baby-like cries, twisting their grotesque and hideous bodies. Like an endless wave, they surged from all directions, blocking everyone's path.
"Perfect timing!" Cu Chulainn shouted with excitement and madness.
The red glow in his eyes intensified, a crazed smile forming on his lips, and an icy and violent aura instantly erupted from his boy.
He revealed his fierce fangs, charging recklessly into the oncom...

Kayneth's voice suddenly echoed in Arkhan's mind.
Hearing his Master's voice, Arkhan breathed a sigh of relief. His reinforcement had finally arrived.
Taking Sakura from Irisviel, Arkhan located Kayneth through their connection and quickly met him.
"Huh? Why is the worm inside this girl gone?" Kayneth looked at the peacefully sleeping Sakura in Arkhan's arms with a hint of surprise in his blue eyes.
Seeing his Master's confusion, Arkhan br...

"Guhahaha, this king's head is quite precious. It would be a loss to trade it with you."
Iskandar laughed heartily, showing no sign of annoyance at Cu Chulainn's impudent remark.
Once the conqueror of the world, Iskandar naturally possessed a broad mind comparable to his vast territories. Especially in the presence of a heroic figure he admired, he always displayed great patience.
"Is it just you, Berserker? What about Archer?" Artoria asked in a cold tone.

With a curious expression, Uruka directly asked Mafuyu.
She had witnessed quite a drama today.
So far, her feelings toward Homura were somewhat positive but not particularly special.
Nevertheless, as a girl, she couldn't help but be interested in this kind of topic and wanted to know more.

A silver arc flashed through the dim workshop, cutting the atmosphere in half with a chilly gust.
Riezel took a dark silver sword into his palm, gripping this gorgeously forged weapon like a work of art. With just a gentle swing, his expression revealed surprise.
"So light..."
Despite being a sword crafted with precious metals and refined materials, he felt as though he were holding a feather—weightless.
In theory, a sword this light would li...

Arkhan spoke gratefully and nodded towards Artoria.
"It's tit for tat. You spared me once, and now I've saved this little girl for you. We're even."
Artoria nonchalantly replied, then glanced at his face with a hint of malice.
"Didn't expect you to sacrifice so much for a little girl. Now that your magical energy is almost depleted, aren't you afraid I might attack you?"
Arkhan raised an eyebrow at her words.

"Lancer, what do you mean the Holy Grail has been contaminated?"
Irisviel couldn't help but furrow her brow. She knew all too well the passion her husband had for the Holy Grail. But after hearing Lancer's words, she found it hard to sit still.
In the previous battle, she had already noticed that Lancer, like Saber, possessed some kind of precognitive ability. So, every word he spoke required her careful consideration, especially when it came to matters involving the Holy Grail.

A young man in a black postal uniform rode a bicycle came from a distance and stopped in front of a luxurious mansion.
His gaze lingered on the engraved name of 'Matou' on the mansion's fence before he pressed the doorbell.

In his hand, he held the hand of a little girl in a blue dress. She was petite and delicate, her large purplish-blue eyes resembling a startled fawn in the woods. She trailed closely behind th...

In the dim depths of the alley, the sound of a falling body emerged, announcing the conclusion of a battle.
Each attacker, clad in a black cloak, lay on the ground without exception. Some lost consciousness, others lay there wailing, their bodies stained with blood. Around their bodies, whether on the ground or the walls, sword marks were engraved.
Riezel stood among these fallen attackers with his sword dripping with blood. His expression was stern, resembl...

Of course, this conversation was just an excuse.
While Kayneth's character was indeed acceptable, Arkhan couldn't be sure that Sakura's situation wouldn't change once he left this world.
Even if Kayneth truly treated her properly and consistently, he couldn't guarantee that Kayneth wouldn't suddenly die one day. In the Clock Tower, with wolves circling everywhere, the naturally gentle Sakura would...
