"Mm... Illya really is clever."
Shaking her head slightly, Aozaki Touko chuckled and said, "However, a Heroic Spirit's power isn't that simple... To use a weapon capable of threatening a Heroic Spirit, the scale involved isn't something ordinary planes and tanks can handle. Besides, if the commotion gets too big... it could easily trigger the principle of the exposure of mystery and bring us a lot of trouble."
To be honest, she herself rather wanted to see a Heroic Spirit battle modern technology. However, this small place called Fuyuki City... couldn't withstand planes and missiles flying everywhere. After one round of bombardment, the Heroic Spirit might not even be killed, while the entire area of Fuyuki City would be left in ruins.
Besides, the current situation... wasn't so dire that they had to resort to any means necessary and fight with modern technology.
"...I understand~"
Illya hugged the stuffed bear in her arms tighter, a trace of dejection appearing on her face. However, she didn't seem overly disappointed. After all, since it was the Holy Grail War... how could there be such a simple shortcut? If this method worked, the other participants would use it too.
It couldn't be that the other participants... would only fight with old-fashioned magecraft.
"I was only teasing you, Illya."
Looking at her somewhat dejected daughter, Aozaki Touko revealed a gentle smile. "Although the Holy Grail War is dangerous... protecting Illya's safety is actually a small matter. After all, your papa is a Magic User. Dealing with a few Heroic Spirits won't be a problem."
She reached out and gently stroked her daughter's little head.
"For this Holy Grail War, Illya should treat it as a trial. Turn the Heroic Spirits from human history's past into nourishment, and use them as nourishment for your growth
