Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"Sora, what's going on?"

"…He brought you back, and he said you had already formed an alliance…"

Sora turned sideways, revealing Shinji leaning against the wall behind him. Shinji was wearing the mask again, and when he saw Kenneth looking at him, he extended his hand to greet him.

"..."

"…I'm sorry, dear…The magician's attack destroyed the magic seals and magic circuits in your body. I'm afraid you will never be able to become a magician from now on."

"Is it…"

Kenneth was unusually calm about the bad news, as if he had been stunned by the huge blow...

Tears began to flow from his eyes unconsciously... The Twelve Lords, the Holy Grail... All the glory that should have belonged to him was shattered in an instant, as if he had been pulled from the altar to the abyss overnight.

Sora gently wiped the tears from Kenneth's face, his face also full of grief.

"...But don't worry, as long as we can get the Holy Grail, it will definitely solve your problem...But now your magic circuits are completely destroyed and your body is unable to move..."

"So... next, you just need to hand over the Command Seals to me, and I will become Lancer's Master in your place, so that we can continue the Holy Grail War!"

Sora suggested this to Kenneth in a somewhat strange tone, but this made Kenneth sweat instantly...

That look...that tone...

He seemed to have seen it somewhere...

It's a dream!

It was the dream just now!

Now his fiancée coincides with the wife of Lord Lancer in his dream!

No... that was not a dream, it should be the previous life of Lancer Diarmuid.

"Sora! You can't do this, Lancer is dangerous!"

“How could a Heroic Spirit who responded to the call of the Holy Grail say something like “I don’t pursue the Holy Grail”… He has hidden his purpose. Now I only have the Command Spell to control it!”

"…Kenneth…Don't you trust me? Don't you trust your fiancée?"

“…No, but this matter…”

"Kenneth!"

Sora interrupted the other person and gently wiped Kenneth's hand with the Command Seal.

“…You know, I’m not very good at magecraft to extract Command Seals. I can only transfer them if the other party is willing… Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll have no choice but to cut off your hand.”

"Sora...you!"

Sora, who was always cold and arrogant in the past, now seemed to be insane, with obsession and madness on his face... Kenneth couldn't imagine how his fiancée could become like this.

But... did he end up repeating the same mistake? If he had known this, he shouldn't have come to participate in this Holy Grail War...

…The ceremony went smoothly. Sora looked at the three Command Seals on the back of her hand with joy…Now she could be with Lancer…

I turned around and saw Shinji who was watching the whole show.

"…Why don't you leave?"

"Don't be nervous... I just want to confirm whether our alliance can continue. After all, our goal is the Holy Grail... right?"

Shinji answered the other party's question in a roundabout way. In fact, they were probably the two people who needed the Holy Grail the least right now...

"Besides, Lancer is outside, so I won't do anything here."

"Don't worry about that. Our alliance with you will not change. Since you want to stay here, it's up to you."

After saying that, Sora left the room, apparently going to find Lancer, not caring at all that the other party might attack Kenneth.

After Sora walked away, Shinji came to Kenneth. The other party had been untied and sat up, but seemed unable to walk normally.

The whole person sat there in a daze.

"It seems that Director Ken, who was forced to be cuckolded by his own fiancée, was hit hard!"

This sentence undoubtedly teased Kenneth's nerves. He was about to get angry, but when he thought of himself as a useless person, he suddenly felt powerless.

"... Diarmuid of the Glorious Aspect, it was all that guy's fault! That teardrop mole... that damn teardrop mole!"

"Heh... I have to correct you here. Although your fiancée did not inherit the family magic seal, she has a strong magical talent and a considerable amount of magic power, which is enough to resist the enchanting effect of the tear mole..."

"So rather than saying that Lancer seduced her, it's better to say that she took the initiative to accept Lancer's seduction..."

This sentence was like the devil's whisper, completely breaking Kenneth's psychological defenses. He was still hoping that as long as he didn't have that teardrop mole, Sora would still love him, but now...

"No... No! You're not right!"

"This is fake! Sora...she...really...betrayed me..."

Kenneth hugged his head frantically, tears welling up in his eyes again. This reality, more cruel than having your love stolen, fell upon him.

Why... he is unwilling...

"…But don't worry, Diarmuid is definitely a qualified knight. His purpose in coming to this world is to fight for his master until the last moment, in order to repay the loyalty he failed to show in his previous life."

"So he is extremely loyal to you and won't try to steal your wife."

Hearing this, Kenneth looked up at the other person blankly, not understanding what was the point of saying these to him now?

"Personally speaking, I am still willing to help you, Mr. Kenneth."

After saying that, Shinji took off the mask on his face, and Kenneth saw a very familiar face...

"How is it possible? How could it be you!?"

"No, if you are a Heroic Spirit... How is this possible?"

“…This doesn’t seem important, does it?”

"..."

"what do you want?"

Shinji didn't speak directly, but continued to offer temptation.

"I can repair your magic circuits, but I can't do anything with those magic seals. As for whether Sora still has feelings for you, I can also let you see it... As for where you will go in the end, it's up to you. Don't dream of getting the Holy Grail now."

"..."

"As for me... I'm quite interested in your slime, and the others are just friendship gifts."

"What do you think, Lancer's Master?"

"...Is there any reason for me to refuse...I'm afraid this kind of thing can't be obtained with a magic gift..."

"Didn't I tell you... friendship comes with a bonus!"

"…make a deal!"

outside

Sora successfully persuaded the other party to temporarily obey her by using the reason of seizing the Holy Grail to save Kenneth, and the handover of Lancer's Master was completed unknowingly.

After this, Kenneth, who lost his magical ability, could only take the initiative to seek refuge in the church... He had no intention of withdrawing from the Holy Grail War.

Kotomine Risei... and those Command Spells that are not in accordance with the rules...
