Leave My Sister to You

Fang Zheng had originally thought the Thousand Tree Clan would have some doubts about his proposal, but to his surprise, after thinking for a moment, Fiore agreed to his request.

In truth, the Thousand Tree Clan really had no choice. Just as Fiore had said, they had staked everything on this Holy Grail War. If they failed, their fate would be to fall apart. To avoid that outcome, they were willing to do anything.

Besides, if Fang Zheng truly obtained the Holy Grail, he would become a wielder of the Third Magic. The support of a Magician was naturally something the Thousand Tree Clan could only dream of.

Now that everything was ready, all they had to do was wait for the "method" Fang Zheng had mentioned. Though it could be done at any time, Fang Zheng decided to wait until nightfall to perform the summoning, just to be safe. Even if Romania could only be considered Europe's backwater, given what he intended to do, he thought it would be best not to make too much of a spectacle.

Besides, the Hanging Garden could not get very far in half a day.

During this interval, everyone made the most of the time to rest. Atalanta returned to her spirit form, though no one knew what she intended to do. Ruler was doing her best to lock onto the Red Servants' locations and presences for the coming battle. As for Fang Zheng, he stood atop the castle wall, watching Illya, Yoshino, and the others playing in the garden... As far as those children were concerned, the previous battle was over. All they needed to do was enjoy the present.

"You don't mind if I stay here for a while, do you?"

At that moment, a voice came from behind Fang Zheng.
