Holy Grail? Is This What You Mean?

To be honest, Rovi had long forgotten the promise that Poseidon had given him.

Although the promise is not the same as protection, but rather a property bestowed upon him rather than a shield, it cannot be turned off in any way. However, after Rovi gradually rose to the beginning, due to his relative weakness, such a promise was basically useless.

Whether it has a positive effect or a negative impact.

It's all meaningless.

Therefore, being forgotten is inevitable, and being ignored is even more justifiable.

At this moment—

Rovi restrained all his power, displaying only the power of a Top-tier Servant like the ' Uruk Sage ' in his non-prime state, barely reaching the lower limit of the Divine Being level. This promise, however, came into play again because of Rovi's 'relative weakness'.

Moreover, it displays its power in an extremely bizarre way.

As is well known, during the interaction of yin and yang, each other will be influenced by the other's masculine energy.

However, if Yang is far greater than Yin... if Rovi's own aura is like the vast ocean, then even if they are mutually influenced during the process, it will be diluted billions of times due to the sheer size of their own aura.

Until it's no longer noticeable.

Therefore, to outsiders, he appears to be forever pure!

Pure and spotless.

To everyone else, Rovi's 'first time' was undoubtedly...

For the women who came for him, he possessed an absolutely powerful attraction!

Although there is no evidence.

But now Rovi Wei believes that Poseidon did it on purpose!

"Don't worry, Rovi, it won't hurt!" In the vast night sky above the Sueto River in Fuyuki City, Rovi looked at the tallest building standing in the bustling city center, illuminated by the stars and moon.

The Hunter Girl, of Greek descent and dressed in a green robe, slowly aimed her bow and arrow at him.

She flashed a pair of tiger teeth, her pretty and spirited face... she seemed quite excited. "I told you—you are my prey!"

"Now, I will hunt you down here!"

You fucking...

Rovi looked at the arrow aimed at him; the arrowhead did not show a sharp edge, but rather a rounded arc.

That was not a sword for shooting.

It will not cause any harm to yourself.

Atalanta will not harm Rovi, nor could she bear to hurt the 'weak' Rovi at this moment.

She was simply acting as a hunter.

'Hunting' its own prey!

However, if that were all, Rovi could still handle it. After all, even considering the existence of the world itself and in order not to destroy the surface or shake the planet, Rovi could not exert much power. But as a Top-tier Servant, he was confident that he could defeat Atalanta.

, Atalanta is not a person.

This moment.

As the arrow was aimed, moonlight fell from the sky, illuminating the river and creating shimmering waves.

Hidden in the moon is a touch of red.

'The red dot being aimed at'.

From the moon, from... Sniper Starship.

The original form of Artemis exists on the moon.

Atalanta was summoned by the 'Moon'. She is the 'Moon's' Servant and, at the same time, the anchor point for locking the lunar surface into the real world.

The instant his bow and arrow were aimed at Rovi.

Artemis will also sense it.

And they poured their strength into it.

"This is troublesome—" Rovi twitched the corner of his mouth as he looked at Gilgamesh was blocking Artoria's way.

Then they saw Gilgamesh, who had opened hundreds of Gate of Babylon, looking over with extreme disdain in his scarlet eyes. "You mere wild dog, yet you've certainly become much better at causing trouble than before!"

"I'm now considering whether I should leave you here to watch the show!"

"Ha ha ha!"

"You fucking... believe me or not, I'll expose your dark past?"

"Comparing dark histories? That stray dog has far more than I do!"

"I'd completely forgotten about this debt if you hadn't mentioned it!"

"What, you mere stray dog, do you want to fight me for another three hundred rounds?"

"Come on then, I'm not afraid of you!"

The two who had just been fighting side by side suddenly found themselves arguing.

The hundreds of Treasury of Babylon instantly focused on Rovi, their endless Noble Phantasm trembling and flashing, their sharp edges revealed.

"Is there infighting?" Artoria gazed at the scene, while the King of Knights, seated atop the [East Enlista], narrowed his azure eyes slightly.

The Projection of the Holy Lance [Rhongomyniad] in his hand rotated slightly, the swirling light still like a storm.

Atalanta was also taken aback.

Then, in a moment... he transferred the arrow to Gilgamesh!

Rovi was her prey.

No one is allowed to harm... her prey!

Run!

"Have a good time!"

Almost in the instant that Artoria and Atalanta were stunned, Gilgamesh accelerated the Ship of Heaven, hooking Rovi was suspended in mid-air, onto both wings and flying out.

"Rhongomyniad!"

A dazzling storm of light instantly appeared from the tip of the Holy Lance. Artoria reacted instantly, but it was still too late.

The streak of light merely grazed the back of the Ship of Heaven, erasing the trajectory it had left behind.

Atalanta also instantly released her bowstring, and a dazzling arrow followed closely behind, but it was instantly blocked by the Noble Phantasm that emerged from the opened gates of the King's Treasure.

Rovi breathed a sigh of relief. The so-called internal conflict just now was nothing more than a cover for his escape at this moment.

Gilgamesh may be arrogant, but he is by no means a mindless king, as has long been proven.

Or rather, whenever he has a 'friend' by his side, he displays the magnanimity and wisdom of a king, and...

Tolerance and magnanimity in cooperating with 'friends'!

"You didn't let me have any hope, kid!"

"Hmph, those who dare to usurp the title of king, those who dare to lay a hand on the wild dogs I keep, I will not let them go!"

Gilgamesh crossed his arms, seemingly disdainful. "Of course, anyone who disrespects the king shall also die ten thousand times!"

"You're just talking nonsense!" Rovi yawned lazily, glancing sideways at what was behind him.

He once again rode after Artoria, who had come running, and Atalanta was constantly aiming.

It seems we've gotten rid of it for now.

With a powerful effort, Rovi climbed onto the top of the Ship of Heaven's wing and sat down against the fierce wind.

He looked into the King of Knights's azure eyes.

He heard Artoria's cool and mature voice ring in his ears. "Lord Rovi, do you really not want to talk back to me?"

"I have other things to do."

"I can help you—just like you used to, I can stay by your side forever!"

"No, what I'm about to do is dangerous."

Regardless of whether or not one can die.

There's no way Rovi would keep Artoria, who has the air of a 'powerful bodyguard,' by his side.

That's really... too 'dangerous'!

"Trying to run away isn't that easy!" On the other side, Atalanta had failed to catch Rovi after several attempts, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

With a swift movement of her feet, her agile and beautiful figure leaped from the high-rise building. Her figure, clad in a green robe, traced a graceful curve in the evening breeze, rising and falling several times before arriving at the banks of the Sue-won River.

Across from the area where containers are piled up.

A very close and extremely clear location.

He steadied himself on the grass by the Atalanta River and looked up at the sky.

Looking at the full moon in the sky.

"Lady Artemis..."

"Hmm? I am Atalanta."

"Help me--"

"Okay, but after capturing Luo Rovi, you can't keep it all to yourself, okay?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Atalanta nodded.

anyway.

The first step is to capture Luo Rovi.

She took his... first time!

The Hunter Girl licked her moist, crimson lips, her face full of desire.

She raised her bow and arrow once more, nocked the arrow, and slowly drew back the bowstring.

This arrow, though devoid of light and not intended for killing, was imbued with love and desire.

It is dazzling and radiant, like moonlight.

It has existed since the time of Greek Mythology three thousand years ago.

Noble Phantasm belonging to ' Atalanta '.

"My arrow will pierce the underworld and bring back my beloved."

Causal locking.

The feeling of being pierced by thorns made Rovi turn around abruptly, and he immediately saw Atalanta raising her arrow to the sky.

"Hey, Jill?"

"Hahaha, are you scared? You think you can be afraid of a wild dog?"

"Yes, I'm scared, so why don't you take this arrow for me first—"

"Fuck you!"

"Hold on tight, you idiot! How could a mere causal lock possibly catch up with my celestial chariot, which rules over all things and traverses the heavens?!"

With a whistle, Gilgamesh instantly accelerated.

The radiant starship pierced the night sky in the blink of an eye. In the distance, at that very moment, Atalanta fired the arrow of cause and effect, which was destined to hit its mark.

She had spotted the figure of the person she longed for.

Rovi has been identified...

A booming sound echoed.

Suddenly, it shone like moonlight.

Artoria pulled on the reins, stopping the chase. She spurred her magnificent warhorse and focused her gaze on the arrow that was hurtling towards her, as gleaming as moonlight.

It embodies the sentiments of thousands of years and sustains the power of the Artemis, Goddess of the Moon.

This was an attack that completely exceeded Atalanta's own power level; it was a top-tier Divine Being level Noble Phantasm of the 'anti-human' level!

"Three thousand years... If we're talking about intensity, I won't admit defeat!"

The King of Knights, clad in silver armor, slowly raised the holy lance in his hand.

Magic infused.

True Name Release.

The dazzling aurora burst forth in an instant between heaven and earth, across the surface of the Sue-en River and the vast, deep night sky, standing upright like a nail.

"[Give my beloved the radiant light!]"

The King of Knights uses his Noble Phantasm to perform his skills.

Neither Atalanta's nor Artoria's Noble Phantasm had any destructive power; even if they hit, they wouldn't cause any harm to Rovi.

They would only bring him to their side.

This is a duel between them.

Whose love... can prevail?

"King of Knights, when it comes to pursuing Rovi... I will not lose to anyone!"

"The Greek hunter."

"My path to kingship is to stand before everyone else!"

"So, Rovi's first time was mine!"

The two people stared at each other, their eyes burning with passion.

That's hostility!

It's also about a competitive spirit!

"..."

"Did you even consider my feelings? How could you get so worked up like this?!" Rovi sighed, rubbing his forehead.

As for Gilgamesh...

He finally lost his temper completely!

"Hahaha, two disrespectful people who covet the King's friend have appeared overnight!?"

The dazzling celestial ship turned an arc in the air, and thousands of Babylon gates opened in an instant, with golden light appearing as if bewildering the entire world.

An endless Noble Phantasm and boundless sharpness emanate from it.

A deafening roar reverberated out, and a terrifying aura exploded directly in the sky above the banks of the Sue-en River.

The collision of countless Noble Phantasm directly evaporated the endless river water into wisps of steam. Artoria's gaze sharpened, and Atalanta was also taken aback.

It's blocked...

Their Noble Phantasm.

It was blocked.

A golden throne stood before his friend, his arms clasped around his shoulders, his tall figure radiating light.

This is the demeanor of a king.

Instead of fleeing like stray dogs!

"My King's friend, my people, no one can force your will!"

Gilgamesh in a low voice.

"At this point, do you still want to be arrogant?" Rovi grinned.

"All things belong to me, and my words are absolute commands—" Gilgamesh's eyes were cold and serious.

"Well, thank you so much."

"But it's almost done, Jill."

Rovi clapped his hands and stood up from the wing. "Just as I expected..."

"I'll handle this myself!"

"Is that so? Then do as you please!"

Gilgamesh's rage subsided, and he... smiled, "Of course, if you wish—"

"I will not be stingy with the king's favor."

The king's figure will stand in front of all the people.

Rovi was Gilgamesh's friend, but he was also a citizen of Uruk.

They were friends, ruler and subject, and even more so, brothers... However, precisely because of this, Gilgamesh knew that although Rovi beside him seemed to want to escape, in reality, he had no intention of running away.

We will face all the bonds with seriousness.

No emotion is afraid to be responded to.

This is the ' Rovi ' he knew and understood.

Gilgamesh confident that he would not misjudge people.

Indeed, that is the case.

Rovi was just thinking about countermeasures.

And now, it's almost done.

He leaped from the sky boat and landed.

Gilgamesh crossed his arms and remained silent, simply watching the falling figure as Rovi landed steadily on the ground.

"Go, my King's friend!"

"Let them show you your magnanimity—"

"Give me a spectacular performance, like a clown, and I will not hold back my laughter, ha ha ha ha!"

"Go to hell!"

Rovi Wei gave Gilgamesh the middle finger.

He steadied himself and landed right in front of Atalanta, on the grassy field.

"Hmph, you've finally given up, haven't you?" Atalanta smiled. "I told you, you're my prey, and you can't escape!"

"No—the outcome is not decided yet!"

Artoria spurred Enlista down, her spear pointing diagonally at the ground, and pulled on the reins to get there.

One in front and one behind.

Rovi smiled.

Hasn't he already experienced this kind of scene before?

This scene...

As a sage, as the one who holds the original wisdom.

Even if it's a battleground.

I can even cross that... I'll show you!

Yes, Rovi has already come up with a solution.

This is the Holy Grail War.

So...

"There's no point in arguing like this. Let's see who gets the Holy Grail in the end!" Rovi glanced at Artoria, then swept his gaze over Atalanta's beautiful and athletic figure.

He said, "Win the Holy Grail War and obtain the miniature terminal of the Greater Holy Grail System — the Lesser Holy Grail."

"How about we use this as the key to victory?" Shift the focus of the victory and temporarily extricate ourselves.

Gain a chance to catch your breath.

And take advantage of this time to quickly find the balance in the body.

At the very least, once the power is released to a certain extent, then we won't have to be as passive as we are now.

"After all, if things continue like this... if I really want to run away, it will be an endless argument."

"The Holy Grail..." Artoria fell into deep thought. Just as Rovi said, if things continued like this, it would be an endless dispute.

So perhaps it would be better to make a pact with the ' Holy Grail War '.

Atalanta snorted, "Trying to play tricks again?"

"There's nothing I can do, after all, I'm all alone!" Rovi smiled.

"Well... alright!" The hunter was determined to get her prey.

"Then, the key will be who can obtain the Holy Grail..."

A loud bang.

Rovi stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Because of what fell from the sky before his eyes.

A golden... 'cup'.

And then there was the petite and beautiful figure that followed closely behind.

"Hmm, is this the cup the performer was talking about?"

"I've won!" Nero Claudius, who had crossed the sea from afar, appeared before Rovi, her fiery red dress billowing, her golden hair cascading down, her head swaying erratically. Her skirt swayed, revealing her bare, white, and rounded breasts, and she flashed a perfect smile, "I'm the victor!"

Artoria and Atalanta: "?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "???"

The Magus Killer, Emiya Kiritsugu was secretly monitoring the situation, remained silent for a long time.

"Maiya".

"Exist,"

"Check the return flight tickets."

Holy Grail, holy my ass!

As for Rovi, he was completely numb.

Grass, grass, grass.

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me?!

"Hahaha, how interesting! I've never seen Rovi so helpless before. It's so cute!" In Fuyuki, at the highest point of Miyamachi, where the summit of Mount Enzou is clearly visible along the Sue-en River, someone let out a crisp laugh.

Her long, flowing, emerald-green hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were filled with the image of Rovi.

Her gaze, slightly turned to the side, also fell upon the person who had come with ' Nero ' beside her. "What do you think, Miss Attila?"

"Rovi is a bad omen." Attila said seriously.

"He's pretty bad, but he's bad in a way that's likable, isn't he?"

Attila remained silent, but did not deny it.
