[Comprehensive] Demon Fox Hiding Horse

The huge golden boat hovered quietly above the forest.

Even if such a huge volume can't be said to cover the sky and the sun, it will attract the attention of the owner of the enchantment to some extent. However, Vimana of the King of Heroes seems to have been given some invisible magic, easily disappearing without attracting attention. Irisviel broke into the magic barrier that Einzbern was proud of without any warning.

"Oh? This move is much more useful than Tokiomi, Kurama."

Sitting on the golden boat, he watched the fierce battle between Caster and Saber below, and the King of Gold, who was still in the mood to sip fine wine, gave a compliment as if casually, and even looked at it. None of them moved from the battlefield below to the demon fox.

Knowing that the other party is such an arrogant and arrogant person, Kurama doesn't mind Gilgamesh's "slow treatment".

This time I set out to watch the battle of Einzbern Forest because of the proposal of the King of Heroes. If it was Kurama himself, of course he would not come here to waste time because he was invited. It's just an opportunity to ride on a legendary treasure boat like Vimana, so other than that, Yaohu doesn't care much about the development of the battle situation.

So after hearing the praise from the King of Heroes, he withdrew his gaze from the battlefield below, who was more bored than the other party, and turned it to a certain king with a "boring" face with a gentle smile: "If you are heard by your Master, you will turn people away." You made me cry, Wang."

This ridicule and the last "king" without the slightest reverence in it successfully made Gilgamesh sneer, as if he had heard a big joke.

"Stop talking nonsense there. Although Tokiomi is boring, he is not the kind of incompetent girl you think."

It was so rare that he would speak for his "boring" Master who was about to lose his favor in front of others. The King of Heroes finally pulled his eyes away and turned his attention to Kurama: "And compared to such trivial matters, The one who should be worrying now is you, Kurama?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Diarmuid who was struggling beside him as if inadvertently.

"Want to bet?" The blond heroic spirit smiled unabashedly, raising the corners of his lips, "That Servant of your family, who can't guess the heart of the lord, wants to 'beg' you to let me He's doing superfluous things that weren't planned."

Before the words were finished, there was a crisp metal collision sound beside Zangma.

The black-haired heroic spirit of the spear knelt on one knee, bowing his head in the most devout gesture to plead with the king——

"My lord, please allow me to fight."

Even if Gilgamesh's words hit his mind, Diarmuid is not in the mood to argue with the other party at the moment.

The disgust and anger that had been pent up in his heart since witnessing Caster's previous evil deeds suddenly exploded at this moment when he saw Saber below was already in a hard fight, making it impossible for him, who insisted on knightly morals, to remain silent.

Therefore, although he knew that although Gilgamesh's words were a little harsh, what he said was the truth. What his righteous indignation was about to bring to his monarch was unnecessary changes that were not planned, but the deep trust in the Master in his heart still made him Diarmuid made the choice to fight, and the monarch of his family has indeed never let him down since the conclusion of the contract...

"If that's what you want, Diarmuid."

The red-haired boy smiled softly, raised his hand and tapped his forehead lightly.

"I allow."

The warm and delicate touch spreads from the forehead to the whole body through the instant skin contact.

Feeling a surge of magical power roaring into his body, the handsome hero bowed his head deeply and paid the highest respect to the monarch he had chosen: "Thank you, my lord."

Before he could speak, his figure had disappeared from Vimana.

At the same time, in the battlefield below, in front of Saber who was about to be captured by Caster's tentacles, the figure of a beautiful hero with two guns slowly emerged...

"I really do love that bastard."

Cursing his lips, the King of Heroes was slightly critical of Zangma's actions.

The red-haired demon fox turned his head when he heard the words, and smiled.

"No." He said softly, smiling.

"You are wrong, Gilgamesh."

This is not doting, but "sweet dates".

——An indispensable means of domestication.

Under the inexplicable gaze of the King of Heroes, the smile on Yaohu's face deepened.

***

The battle in Einzbern Forest ended with Caster losing.

However, the battle process before this result was presented was shorter than originally expected-the reason is probably that the two Lancer heroic spirits participated in the battle one after another.

Shortly after Diarmuid jumped off the ship of glory, Lancer, who was led by Kenneth, also joined the battle.

The combination of the three Servants made Caster's defeat a little earlier than expected, but this did not have much impact on the final result.

Taking Diarmuid back to the hotel where he was staying, Kurama expressed no dissatisfaction with the experience and gains of that night.

In the end, it was confirmed that the King of Heroes specially asked him to go and watch the battle together, the reason was not Saber at all, but...

"Did you really come here, Kirei?"

When the figure of the black-haired priest appeared behind the castle, and without hesitation contacted and fought with Irisviel and Hisau Maiya who were evacuating, the oldest king on Vimana raised the corners of his lips, and said in a tone With a little joy that cannot be mistaken, so whispered.

It was difficult for Kurama to ignore the overly obvious pleasure on the other party's face.

Regardless of whether the King of Heroes' good mood came from Kirei's finally starting to pursue the joyful approach he taught, or from Kirei himself (...), Kurama felt that such an opponent was very... dangerous ==

So after Diarmuid's smooth return, he immediately bid farewell, and Gilgamesh just looked at him with an unpredictable expression for a while, then nodded and said goodbye to him.

Kurama is not at all interested in the arrangement of the King of Heroes. What he cares about is that his Servant has already calmed down after the conversation that night, and today he agreed to the other party's challenge without hesitation. It should be said that Diarmuid should be in a state of high emotion at this time, but why...

Feeling a little low again?

Knowing that his heroic spirit is not a sensitive and fragile type, there should be very few things that can cause him to show such obvious emotional changes. Kurama raised his eyebrows, but he didn't take the initiative to ask.

And as expected, after unraveling the biggest knot in his heart, the gunman who had given him all his trust did not need him to speak. After returning to the hotel room, he hesitated for a while and took the initiative to confide his troubles to His trusted lord and...friend.

"Another experience I had that didn't go very well."

There was undisguised distress and entanglement in his tone.

"Although he didn't say anything specifically, I can feel the confusion and loss coming from the same soul..."

"—His Master, doesn't believe in his loyalty."

"And it's not that that makes me sad."

As he said that, the gunman raised his head, and met Zangma's gentle gaze with a slightly ashamed expression: "It's me who is grateful for this."

"My lord... Isn't it despicable for me to think like this?"

"While I seem to be very sad about the unfair treatment my other self has received, at the same time, I am secretly delighted that the person who encountered such a Master is not me, but my Master is someone who will treat me sincerely like you..."

With a deep shame on his face, the Knight of the Gun confessed himself in front of his Master without any concealment.

The smile on the corner of Zangma's mouth gradually became bigger and bigger.

He always felt that there was something wrong with the spearman he summoned before. Compared with Diarmuid in the original book, he was obviously a little less calm and indifferent, and a little more sensitive and fragile.

But at this moment, Yaohu is very sure that the one standing in front of him is the well-deserved No.1 of the former Fiona Knights, the legendary Celtic hero "The Shining Appearance" Diarmuid Odina.

"This is nothing to be ashamed of, Diarmuid."

He reached out and patted the knight's shoulder, and when the other party looked up at him with melancholy again, he gave him a warm smile: "I will be angry for the injustice suffered by others, and I will be angry for myself. In comparison, I feel happy about the small fortune I got, and I feel ashamed of myself, which is an emotion that a person should have, and it will not change because of whether you are a hero or a knight."

He spoke in a gentle voice.

"But the difference is that ordinary people will be driven by one or more of these emotions to do things that they didn't expect. Heroes and knights will restrain these emotions and always do amazing things. A commendable choice."

"I believe you will be the latter, so there is nothing to be ashamed of, you are still the knight I recognize."

Looking at the stars gradually lighting up in those beautiful amber eyes, Kurama narrowed his eyes and smiled more gently and kindly——

Ah, no, why do I suddenly feel that his Servant... is so cute (good) loving (coaxing)?

Looking at the black-haired heroic spirit who bowed his head and saluted sincerely, Yaohu touched his chin, and the smile on his face deepened.

***

After the battle of Einsbern Forest, the progress of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City seemed to have come to a standstill.

Everyone seemed to be searching for the whereabouts of the defeated Caster, and at the same time abided by the temporary armistice agreement, and the situation suddenly became unprecedentedly peaceful.

But Kurama knew that this kind of peace was only a temporary illusion, and soon, the Holy Grail War would show its cruel and tragic side again.

And in this rare short-lived peace, Gilgamesh would still visit from time to time, and bring some news that was dispensable to both him and Zangma.

For example, the banquet of the Three Kings, which he ridiculed as "the only meaning is to bring a little bit of entertainment to this king", for example, Kirei finally began to understand what the desire and pleasure he was after...

"Speaking of which, Kirei, who seemed the most boring at first, turned out to be the one that satisfies me the most in the end. This world...maybe there is still some fun to speak of."

The King of Gold said with a smile.

Zangma was noncommittal about this.

He really has nothing to comment on this pair of ghosts and scum masters and servants, so simply not responding to anything is the correct answer.

And just spent more than a day in the hypocritical peace. In the evening, when there was an almost riotous magical power in the air, Zangma raised his eyes to the river surface that had already filled with a lot of smoke at some time. Looking far away——

In the white fog, a huge shadow is looming...

"Dilmodo."

"My lord."

"Go."

"Yes!"

Sensing that the heroic spirit of the gun had disappeared into the room after reincarnation, Kurama turned around and picked up Mokona: "Shall we go and see?"

He put the white dumpling on his cheek, felt the soft and warm touch, and the vibration in his heart seemed to calm down a little.

"This... the most spectacular battle."

***

He said he was going to watch the battle, but Zangma still didn't choose to expose himself in the crowd.

With phantom plants as the enchantment, even if they are beside Irisviel, Saber and others, the temporary truce between the Saber group, the Rider group, Diarmuid and another Lancer who came later will deal with Caster together The agreement with the monster he summoned was heard verbatim. Except for Diarmuid, who was informed by Kurama, the others failed to discover the existence of him and Mokona.

So the two watched the progress of the situation from a very close distance, seeing that the four Servants tried their best but couldn't really damage the Sea Demon, and watched that they only took two shots before diverting their attention and began to pinch Berserker The King of Heroes, who got up, flew magnificently through the air in Vimana, watched Kiritsugu call after shooting and killing Caster's Master, and while proposing a solution, he calmly held Saber's left hand holding the opposing city treasure. Tou's news to Lancer...

For a moment, the girl's heroic spirit showed a look of obvious humiliation.

She no longer has any doubts about her Master's despicableness.

But at this time, what Kiritsugu didn't know was that Diarmuid, who had actually injured Saber's left hand, was still fighting with the sea demon, as if supplied with the Master's endless magic power, and Lancer, who was beside Saber, was Although he has also cooperated and fought with the King of Knights, but it was not the one he fought against on the warehouse street at first...

"Lancer, you can't do that!"

Seeing that the spearman took down the yellow spear, apparently intending to break it, Saber stopped it loudly in desperation.

However, the beautiful young man with black hair showed a gentle smile.

"Don't use the excuse that I was not the one who hurt you to stop me, Saber." He said softly, "Master Kenneth has already speculated before that the reason why your Master is chasing us is because he Found evidence, can prove that my treasure and another Lancer's treasure have the same effect?"

Seeing the speechless appearance of the girl opposite, the gunman smiled in relief again.

"Don't feel uneasy or ashamed, King of Knights."

"Is it Lancer who should win now, or Saber? No, neither. What should really win is the way of chivalry we firmly believe in!"

After the words fell, accompanied by a crisp ringing sound, the yellow spear was broken by the owner himself, and a huge vortex of magic power suddenly emerged surrounded the spearmen layer by layer. In the vortex, the expression of the black-haired heroic spirit was so solemn and revealing A different kind of sexiness that makes the heart beat...

"I entrust victory to your sword, King of Knights."

Smiling and raising his eyes, Lancer looked softly at the girl heroic spirit opposite, but on the other side's face, there was no resolute determination, but only eyes full of surprise and disbelief...

"Saber?"

"...not healed."

The blond girl murmured and raised her left hand, looking at the palm that was still twitching her fingers slightly, and the feeling of unhealed injury had not subsided at all, with a bewildered expression on her face.

——Kiritsugu, could it be... You also expected this?

Immediately thinking of another level, looking up at Diarmuid who had already flew towards the sky and landed here, Saber couldn't help but start to feel chills.

She stood there with her head bowed silently, and Lancer and Rider's explanation to Diarmuid who had just landed rang in her ears. The hatred and deep humiliation for the Master surged from the bottom of her heart, which had never been so vivid. And deep...

"I see."

A moment later, she heard the voice of the Spear Heroic Spirit responding in almost the same tone as when another Lancer was about to break off the yellow rose.

Subconsciously raised his eyes, he saw the handsome black-haired man nodded slightly to himself, and then...

Without hesitation, she reached out and took the yellow spear from her back, and before she could make a sound to stop it, the other party snapped it off with a snap...

"Dirumdo..."

Out of everyone's sight, the demon fox in the barrier watched the Servant's movements, slowly lowered his eyelids, and sighed... so softly.
