Diarmuid rushed forward to stop Solau's madness: "I have decided to pledge allegiance to my lord Kenneth, and I will never go back on my word!"
"What? Lancer, I did all this for you..."
"Please stop talking. As a knight, I will uphold my loyalty to the very end."
The knight with dual pistols was very determined.
One must uphold one's loyalty and chivalrous spirit.
Then he turned to look at Kama, his twin spears pointed directly at him, his words righteous and sharp:
"Please stop your tricks. My lord would never allow such divisive tactics to damage our relationship. Please say no more—"
As a renowned knight of the Fiona Knights, Diarmuid hopes to fulfill the loyalty he could not fulfill in his lifetime during this Holy Grail War. Although his Servants are merely spirits in the present world through magical means... this does not diminish Diarmuid's desire.
"Methods? Are you mistaken, Lancer? I'm not the one who destroyed this marriage, it's you, Lancer. You don't actually think you can pursue your ideals while the relationship is falling apart, do you?"
"Then I truly regret your naiveté..."
"However, love is truly a hateful thing—"
Kama sighed.
The interpersonal relationships in this group are really complicated.
Even she, the goddess of love, was momentarily stunned by this relationship.
"But as I said, I am a gentle god... so I will definitely grant people's wishes."
"Really...really?" Solau's eyes welled up with tears.
"Truly, the gods would not deceive humanity..."
Kama wore a gentle smile.
"I will make sure you two are together, together forever, and never apart."
She said this, gently stroking Solau's cheek with her hand.
For such degenerate humans who pursue "love".
It is absolutely Kama's favorite, the best nourishment to stimulate human evil.
"However, the price of being willing to do anything is very heavy..."
Kama looked directly into Sorau's eyes and asked, with a mocking tone:
"Are you truly capable of bearing this price?"
However, Solau doesn't seem to care about the cost.
It seems that as long as she can be with Diarmuid, she can accept any outcome.
“Solau, wait… Kama, you can’t do this! She’s my fiancée—this is not gentlemanly conduct! If you are a god, you should be able to understand! Taking someone else’s fiancée away is an absolute insult…”
Kenneth's expression changed drastically, and he stepped forward to argue his case.
It felt like countless roots were piercing my heart, the veins on my forehead bulged, and my eyes turned swollen from the pain.
"It's okay, you can come too..."
Kamajin chuckled.
With a gentle lift of her hand, Kenneth and Solau were encased in the black imaginary ring. The power of the goddess of love directly caused them to fall into a coma, and even Diarmuid was captivated by the allure of emptiness under the influence of the divine power.
"Imaginary numbers...magic?!"
Kenneth's body trembled as the imaginary ring constricted him, but he found that his throat was blocked and he could not make a sound.
"Very good, very good..."
"Let's all go together and have a good time inside the Greater Grail."
"Especially a bad goddess like me—"
"The price is..."
"Your souls, hmm~~"
"I will make you together forever—in the core of the Greater Grail, your souls will become one and never be separated again."
Seeing the three lifeless figures, Kamachin felt a surge of joy.
She already possesses the ability to synchronize with the Greater Grail, and now all she needs to do is gradually strengthen it.
Once enough souls are collected, the evil within the Holy Grail will awaken.
Even if they awaken, that "evil" is nothing more than the "all the evil in this world".
That was not enough for Kama.
Wanting to become [human evil]...
This requires collecting enough evil born from love. In that case, Kenneth's group is undoubtedly the best source of nourishment that can be found in this Holy Grail War.
"Very good! Let's prepare to head to the underground cavern beneath Mount Yuanzang, heh heh heh heh heh heh~~"
The white-haired girl clapped her hands and hummed a lullaby with great joy.
Kama is still working hard to corrupt his Master.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
"Where did that idiot Kama go?"
That petite girl looks like she's weak and helpless. Could she have been kidnapped?
Fujimaru Ritsuka leaned against an old-fashioned sofa in the living room of the Matou residence, dangling an old-fashioned pocket watch she had picked up from who-knows-where and muttering to herself.
That little girl is really troublesome.
But troublesome as it may be.
Because of his divine nature, comparable to that of a god, Kama's desire to conceal his whereabouts made him quite difficult to find for Fujimaru Ritsuka.
At least for the time being, we won't be able to find out her whereabouts.
"Honestly, you're such a worry... I'm only leaving for a little while."
Fujimaru Ritsuka clicked her tongue lightly, then placed the pocket watch on the coffee table.
She didn't use the Star Inscription, perhaps because she didn't think that the harmless, silly brat could accomplish anything earth-shattering.
"Master."
The communication from El-Melloi II caused Fujimaru Ritsuka to jump up from the sofa, nearly blowing the roof off the Matou family's house with her force.
to be frank.
The Matou residence is a very comfortable small Western-style house; even Fujimaru Ritsuka had never lived in such a nice house before coming to Chaldea.
Fujimaru Ritsuka really didn't want to leave.
If we don't control the force well, we might tear a huge hole in the Matou family's house.
"Master... Hey, Miss Ritsuka, are you alright?"
"No, no, no... of course it's nothing, phew~~"
A questioning voice came from El-Melloi's side, and Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly perked up and entered serious mode.
"How's it going on your end, Professor Kongming? I remember you went to negotiate with the Lancer group. Did you achieve anything?"
"To be honest, Sovereign Kenneth was attacked by unknown assailants."
"what?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened.
"Really? Kiritsugu Emiya shouldn't have any reason to attack Lord Kenneth this time!"
Elmero affirmed:
"Yes. It was definitely not Kiritsugu Emiya's doing. If it were Kiritsugu Emiya, this hotel wouldn't exist."
That's true...
"The reason for the attack is unknown, but the magic workshop is suspected of being damaged. It seems that a Servant of a higher level broke in directly. There were no signs of fighting at the scene, so it must have been a near-overwhelming battle."
"In this Holy Grail War, I can only think of two Servants who can achieve this level of skill."
El-Melloi took a deep drag of his cigarette, then frowned and said, "And I can't think of any reason why those two attacked my master, Kenneth."
"You must be referring to Gilgamesh and Iskandar..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka thought back for a moment.
With their combined strength, these two could indeed defeat Diarmuid and destroy Lord Kenneth... However, given Gilgamesh's arrogance, he wouldn't resort to such sneaky attacks; instead, he would openly and blatantly crush them with the Gate of Babylon.
Then it could be Iskandar.
For example, Waver Velvet might harbor resentment towards his mentor, and together with Rider, they might pull him closer, using [King's Army] to directly eliminate Kenneth...
That's probably impossible.
"Ugh."
"ok, I get it."
"In that case, I'll use my brain a bit and check the records on the [Star Inscription]..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka tapped her fingertips lightly, her scarlet eyes gleaming with golden light.
Golden magical threads continuously coiled and gathered, and all the data and information flow in Fuyuki City... this singularity, transformed into fine, thread-like threads that swept across it.
Countless points of light converged.
—It should be possible to find it.
Fujimaru Ritsuka traced Kenneth's [Star Inscription] back to its source, and soon she saw a star record that was significantly thicker and was fleeing her detection at great speed!
Like a mouse seeing a cat.
Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to touch it, the Star Mark seemed to suddenly and hastily escape from her grasp!
"Eh?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly stunned.
"what's the situation?"
The first time she saw a planet, she was able to "run around on her own."
In other words, the other party is the kind of being capable of manipulating events, at least belonging to the category of "Star Catalyst".
To put it simply.
It is [God].
"Ugh."
Suddenly realizing everything, Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up, pushed open the bedroom door, and looked at the bed that originally belonged to Kama Sakura.
"He's not hiding anything, you idiot. What is this guy... really planning to do?"
How could Kama, that child, be so honest?
Even if she seems harmless, there is still a part of [Moro] in her spirit origin.
For the Demon King...
Making trouble is the norm, isn't it?
"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Master Jun."
Fujimaru Ritsuka snapped out of her daze and said to El-Melloi II, "I have a pretty good idea of who the culprit is."
"You have a plan?"
El-Melloi was somewhat surprised: "Could it be... the Star Inscription..."
"No."
"Fujimaru Ritsuka said in a low voice."
"He is a very cunning fool."
