Chapter 39: Leave now and no one will get hurt, otherwise, you will all die!

"Just leave now, no one will get hurt. Otherwise, I don't mind seeing you and Saber's Master off right here."

Unlucky.

So Unlucky.

She seemed to be always so unfortunate, wanting to kill everyone but unable to kill anyone.

It seemed as if there was an invisible line of fate that was repelling her and preventing her from fulfilling her dreams, mocking her for being forever accompanied by misfortune.

One can be a coincidence, twice can be a coincidence, but three, four, five times, it would be ridiculous to say it is a coincidence. Miss Illyasviel herself is aware that every time she is about to succeed, there will always be inexplicable accidents that bring her bad luck. Tohsaka Tokiomi escaped her assassination twice, Emiya Kiritsugu happened to recognize her at a certain moment, the swordswoman also arrived at a certain time, the same was true for King of Conquerors Iskandar and King Gilgamesh, and now she has also met the Master of the Matou family, Matou Kariya, and his servants.

Illyasviel von Einzbern can never be happy and does not deserve any happiness.

It seemed that this was an established fact, and what she did was to deny this fact. But how could a process that denied an established fact be successful?

She could only fail and only fail. The Chaos Evil Servant had never killed anyone from beginning to end.

This fact, like a blade of kindness, is hilarious.

"A Glimpse into the Evil of This World..." Miss Illyasviel murmured to herself as she recalled this skill of hers. She was the embodiment of malice, pure malice, and as a simple villain, wasn't it natural that she would always fail?

Haha, haha, she suddenly felt like laughing. Her wish was obviously just for humble happiness, but everything seemed to be stopping her.

She held the black blade in her hand, covered her eyes, and raised her lips slightly. But wasn't she like this before she traveled to this world? No matter how unfortunate, lonely, or easily stressed, no matter how unlucky and annoying the process was, her obsession and the result were always happiness. She would kill anyone who didn't make her happy. Shouldn't there be Illyasviel in a happy world? Bullshit!

She didn't believe this fact. If this was her fate, then she would overturn this fate!

"Fuck your misfortune… Heh, Mr. Matou Kariya, as long as I pretend that I didn't see you, you won't attack me? Don't you think these words are ridiculous?"

"This is the Holy Grail War, not a personal fight. If you don't have a wish or an obsession, you won't be chosen by the Holy Grail. In other words, if your target is really just Mr. Archer, why are you waiting here? Aren't you just waiting for the others to lose, and then entering the field to reap the rewards?"

If the other party really had no intention of being her enemy, he could just leave without showing up.

Miss Illyasviel tilted her head while playing with the black blade in her hand. She didn't dare to take her eyes off the black knight who was dozens of meters away because she could feel it.

That beast-like madness and the threat that was more terrifying than facing either Diarmuid or the swordswoman's Servant.

She could even clearly foresee what would happen if she really turned around and ran.

Even if her agility was as high as A+ level, the black knight could reach her back in the blink of an eye, just like a human carrying a beast on his back. Simply running away would only excite the beast.

That is the beauty of numbers, the beauty of shitty numbers that require more than the swordswoman and the spearman to fill the panel with their feet.

And the Black Knight is obviously a Servant of the Berserker class, and unsurprisingly, he also has a berserk skill. The stats can be increased by one additional level in addition to mana and luck, but it is still unknown whether it is the state after berserk or before berserk. After all, some Servants can control berserk independently and turn it from a passive skill into an active skill.

"Ahem, you are right. I do want the Holy Grail, and I have a wish that must be fulfilled. Just now, I also did have the desire to send you out here if you choose to reconcile."

Wiping the smelly blood from the corner of his mouth, Matou Kariya covered his abdomen with his hands, and veins bulging on his forehead. He did not deny Miss Illyasviel's vigilance. He wanted to target the servants of the Tohsaka family, but since he was chosen by the Holy Grail System, he naturally had an obsession.

Although someone from the three great families would definitely be chosen, he naturally had a special status as the master of the Matou family.

Matou Zouken promised him that as long as he could win the Holy Grail War.

He would be able to free that child and give her freedom again, and for this he was willing to give everything he had.

Therefore, he naturally didn't mind having the chance to send others out. Just as Miss Illyasviel said, he chose to hide here in order to wait for King Gilgamesh and the other servants to be defeated, and then come out to pick up the loose ends and eliminate the remaining participants. This way, he could not only bring shame to Tohsaka Tokiomi, but also win the Holy Grail War.

"Is this your declaration of war?" Miss Illyasviel made a gesture to Irisviel from behind, asking her to take Emiya Kiritsugu and stay away.

It's not that she didn't want to kill the other party directly, but she didn't dare to relax at all when facing the Black Knight. And as long as Irisviel left her side, she would gradually get lost in the fog, and her fog was harmful and toxic to the human body.

She didn't even need to do it herself, as the swordswoman's master, Emiya Kiritsugu, would be slowly killed by her poisonous mist.

"Illya, are you okay on your own? I can stay and help you deal with that matou's Master"

Irisviel lowered her voice and learned about Matou Kariya's identity from Miss Illyasviel's words. Although she didn't know why her daughter's intelligence network was better than her husband's, it seemed as if the other party knew all the Masters participating in the war.

But it doesn't matter. In a sense, the Holy Grail War is a duel between servants and masters. If Matou Kariya really wants to start a war.

She could also stay and help Miss Illyasviel. After all, her magecraft skills were not that bad, and she would have no problem dealing with ordinary magi.

"No, I have a way to get out of this. Beautiful and outgoing elder sister, you must remember to take Emiya Kiritsugu and hide in a place with deep fog. My fog can isolate the Servant from detecting us to some extent. The deeper the fog, the safer it will be."

"....Um, can you please not call me so weird? Illya, why are your nicknames getting longer and longer?"

'The pretty and outgoing big sister? This nickname is getting weirder and weirder!'

'But the ending is about a beautiful big sister. Is Illya praising me for being so beautiful?'

'Well, if that's the case, it's not impossible.'

"Okay, Illya, you must be careful." Seeing that Miss Illyasviel didn't even turn her head and stared at the black knight without daring to move, Irisviel suppressed her inner sadness and joy, and finally struggled to carry the semi-conscious Emiya Kiritsugu up.

What makes her sad is that her daughter has grown up and become a Heroic Spirit who has accomplished great deeds in modern times.

What made her happy was that the other party might still care about them and that her hatred for them was not too deep.

"It seems that you do have a close relationship with the Einzbern family, unknown Caster."

Matou Kariya did not stop her when he saw this, but just forced a smile and looked at Miss Illyasviel.

"What exactly do you want to say? Mr. Matou Kariya, my relationship with the Einzbern family is none of your business, but you can understand that I don't want to be enemies with Saber, with whom I have already formed an alliance."

Gripping the cold sharp blade in reverse, Miss Illyasviel was somewhat confused about what Matou Kariya was thinking.

She let Irisviel leave as a test, just to see if the other party would take this opportunity to attack directly and kill the two people on the spot, but it was obvious that the other party did not do so, which made her feel a little disappointed. After all, if the Black Knight targeted Irisviel and the other person and attacked them, she could also use this opportunity to escape directly.

"Alliance?... Ahem, you are indeed a very moral hero."

Upon hearing this, Matou Kariya could not help but sigh. This kind of trustworthiness is probably only possible with Servant. This is a rare quality in modern society:

"So, I admire you, Caster. Even in the Holy Grail War, you can still be called a true hero. I even used my humble thoughts to speculate that you took Saber's Master and that woman with you to find a secluded place to escape and kill them. Now it seems that I was too despicable and underestimated the excellent character of heroes like you."

"......."

'Is there really something wrong with you guys? I just want to kill someone and everyone will praise my good character.'

'Don't I know what kind of person I am? Can you please stop praising each other in such a commercial way?'

"Maybe I wanted to do that, but was interrupted by some sudden and unromantic troublemakers?" Miss Illyasviel gritted her teeth.

"Don't joke about this, Caster. We have all seen your excellent character, whether you are in Saber or other groups." Matou Kariya shook his head slightly. This was the second reason why he took the initiative to show up, and it could be regarded as a test for Miss Illyasviel.

The girl in front of him was willing to stay behind to protect her allies and their master from leaving the battlefield even when she was in danger. Who dares to say that they can do such a heroic act?

"How about a deal? Since you can form an alliance with Saber, you wouldn't mind having another powerful ally, right Caster?"

"?"

"You and Archer have a conflict, and it has reached a point where it cannot be reconciled. I also have a conflict with the Tohsaka family. Archer is the Heroic Servant of the current head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokiomi. We also have interests that can run parallel."

'???'

The dock warehouse shrouded in fog suddenly became quiet, and the black knight seemed to have restrained his wildness.

Looking at Matou Kariya, who was so weak that he looked like a dying man, but whose tone was not at all joking, Miss Illyasviel blinked blankly.

She naturally knew that there was a conflict between Matou Kariya and Tohsaka Tokiomi. After all, according to the information of the Cathedral Church, Matou Kariya and Tohsaka Tokiomi's wife, Tohsaka Aoi, were childhood sweethearts. Strictly speaking, it could be considered a hatred of having his crush stolen from him, but that happened many years ago.

'Do you magi care about these little things? In the eyes of a serious magi, apprentices are more important than wives, right? Besides, it's up to Aoi Tohsaka to like whomever she wants, right?'

'You're going to fight to the death with Tohsaka Tokiomi just because of this. Isn't there something wrong with you?'

"Mr. Matou Kariya, are you joking? Tohsaka Tokiomi sent his daughter, Tohsaka Sakura, to the Matou family, and she was cultivated by the Matou family. She is almost destined to be the next head of the Matou family. The conflicts between you two are nothing compared to this kind of transaction between families. I don't think you are so confused about the importance of things."

'It's contradictory to the dream I had.'

'Or was it that Matou Sakura took away the magic crest and the inheritance rights of the Matou family that should have belonged to you, causing you to resent her father, Tohsaka Tokiomi?'

'But this is not right. The information from the Holy Church shows that you gave up pursuing the path of magecraft and inheriting the crest on your own.'

Miss Illyasviel feels that there is something fishy going on here. The conflict between Matou Kariya and Tohsaka Tokiomi may not be as simple as it seems. At the same time, she also suspects that Matou Kariya has ulterior motives and may be instructed by someone in the Matou family.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult to explain Matou Kariya's behavior. The other party was holding a Berserker, a numerical monster that made her feel guilty just by looking at it. It can be said that he would fight anyone except King Gilgamesh, whose Noble Phantasm was like a stupid landlord who didn't want any money. Why would he look for an alliance with her, a small-time servant with the Caster class? If he wanted an alliance, shouldn't he look for the Three Knights?

(TL: Did she forgot that she is Assassin?)

"You know me very well, Caster. I even suspect that your intelligence gathering is better than that of the Assassin who never appeared. You know everything about everyone."

The fact that Miss Illyasviel knew all these old stories made Matou Kariya even more convinced of Miss Illyasviel's abilities.

'I don't know how the Einzbern family is related to this magi of the Age of Gods. There is no doubt that the other party's magecraft attainments are extremely terrifying.'

'It is possible that the postures of the Einzbern family's Homunculi are imitations of their predecessors in life.'

"But I have shown my sincerity and let Saber's Master and that woman go."

"You should also know that if I want, you may escape from here, but the two of them will never be able to leave. My servant attributes are almost better than the three knights."

He tested Miss Illyasviel's character and her attitude towards the Golden King, but it was obvious that in his eyes, all these had passed the test.

Miss Illyasviel is the best candidate for an alliance and a Heroic Servant whose goals largely overlap with his.

Therefore, for his own goals, Matou Kariya does not mind showing enough sincerity to the other party.

"If Caster thinks this is not enough..." The red Command seal on the back of Matou Kariya's hand flickered slightly, and then he glanced at the black knight beside him. He was not satisfied with himself for summoning this Heroic Servant.

Or maybe it could be said that Matou Zouken was on guard against him and summoned a Heroic Servant with high magical proficiency.

He needed a Servant who was proficient in magecraft, a magi of the Age of Gods who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the corrupt and terrible magi who had survived for five hundred years. This was more important than attributes.

"In the name of the Command Seal, I command you, Berserker. Before this Caster takes the initiative to attack us, you are forbidden and must not take the initiative to attack this Caster. Until the end of this Holy Grail War, she will be our ally."

The Command Spell was activated, and it was visible to the naked eye that the Black Knight's offensive power was becoming lower and lower.

Even his roar gradually became lower, and he just stared at Miss Illyasviel.

This was the second sincerity he showed, which made Miss Illyasviel accept the basis of the alliance.

For this purpose, he even used a precious Command Seal.

"I see your sincerity, Mr. Matou Kariya." Miss Illyasviel did not let her guard down, but smiled on the surface and was no longer as aggressive as before.

After all, the other party still has two Command Seals left and can still disobey the orders given.

"So, Mr. Matou Kariya, what do you want?"

"Your blood, and tell me how to crack the Crest worms."
