"Don't be nervous, we are just here to fight."
"This... isn't it strange that it doesn't make people nervous!"
Tohsaka Rin immediately complained and was attacked at the door... If he could be unsuspecting, how optimistic he must be, Holy Grail War... this is no child's play.
That was a cruel ritual in which each other's lives were used as a bet to compete for Wish-granting device.
"Master, please pay attention, the woman speaking is Heroic Spirit!"
At this moment, Medusa emerged from the spirit form. She stood beside Sakura and looked at Ryougi Ori with a wary look. Although it was strange... but the aura was definitely Heroic Spirit.
"Heroic Spirit... What the hell is going on?!"
Tohsaka Sakura looked startled and looked at the woman with a cold temperament.
If the woman named Ryougi Ori is Heroic Spirit, then what is the matter with another woman with the same appearance as Ryougi Ori? Could it be that she is also Heroic Spirit.
"No, Master, that woman is human."
Medusa looked along the Master's line of sight and immediately gave a negative answer. Although it was a bit strange... but that woman with an indifferent temperament was undoubtedly a human being.
"Don't worry, maybe... with a hula, I will become Servant."
Ryougi Ori looked at the two sisters who looked wary with a smile, and told them in a very relaxed tone. She actually didn't understand the situation, but she roughly guessed that it was related to Aozaki Touko.
But this is enough for her.
Chapter 391 The Gate of Heaven
Within Fuyuki City Cathedral.
Karen Ordesia sat on the bench in the front row, her golden eyes looking quietly at the old man kneeling and praying silently under the statue of the god, with a trace of helplessness unnoticeable on his delicate and pretty face.
"Pope Your Majesty, haven't you finished your prayers yet?"
Her voice was very calm, without too much excitement. Even the old man kneeling in front of the statue, Vatican's Pope, didn't feel much touched.
Although she nominally belongs to Holy Church and is treated like a believer, everyone in the Magecraft world, Dead Apostle world, and Holy Church knows that she is the property of Aozaki Touko.
Therefore, no matter what her inner beliefs are, at least she is not trusted within Holy Church. However, due to Aozaki Touko's strong backing,
Even if he is a target of vigilance... his life is surprisingly easy.
"Don't worry, it's already healed."
Pope stopped praying. He stood up and turned to look at Karen with a gentle smile, "Be a little considerate of the old man, I don't have much time to pray."
"This is a good thing... after all, I can go to see the Lord earlier, right?"
Karen seemed to be saying very unreasonable things, almost as if he was viciously cursing this kind Pope to die soon.
but.
"Ah... yes, it will be soon."
Elder Pope showed a joyful expression, and then drew a cross on his chest. "The door to the Lord will be opened, and I... will arrive at the Lord's side to serve."
His wrinkled, kind face had a fanatical expression.
More than ten years ago, the legendary Magic User made an agreement with him to use unprecedented rituals to open the door to heaven and send his soul to the Lord.
And now, the appointed moment has been reached.
"...Pope Your Majesty, do you really believe...Lady Touko?"
Karen asked, why do you believe... Aozaki Touko, who is Magic User, is clearly the biggest heretic, and Pope actually believes that heretics will save the world without selfish motives.
Moreover, Lady Touko's promise... is too vague and unreliable.
"..."
Pope Your Majesty shook his head slightly. There was no enthusiastic expression on his wrinkled face. He walked slowly to Karen and sat down. Then, looking at the statue not far away, he whispered:
"Even if it is a lie, the end of existence is indeed real. As long as you can really avoid that ending, there is nothing to regret even if you are deceived."
His expression was very kind and his tone of voice was very open-minded.
If he hadn't been used by Aozaki Touko to use True Magic and saw the terrifying doomsday in the future, if Aozaki Touko hadn't mastered the legacy of Solomon, if Aozaki Touko's life resume wasn't that amazing.
Then... maybe he can find a reason to ignore this matter.
However, after witnessing the bleak ending of mankind's future with his own eyes, the unparalleled pressure made him almost unable to breathe. Just the thought of rejection... a strong feeling of guilt would overwhelm him.
Compared with the weight of continuing the future, is it certainly worth it for him, an old man who is about to decay, to use his life as a bargaining chip?
There is no need to think about such obvious multiple-choice questions, right?
"... I went overboard and asked such a disrespectful question."
Karen apologized in a low voice, and then subconsciously raised his hand to touch Command Spell on the back of his hand. That was the three Command Spells that dominated and controlled Pope, and was also the symbol of her Holy Grail War participant.
That's right, Pope... is the Heroic Spirit of Holy Grail War this time.
The Pope Your Majesty sitting next to her had actually been killed by Aozaki Touko long ago, and then, through special means, became the Heroic Spirit of Holy Grail War this time.
All of this is Pope Your Majesty's own free will.
Using life as a sacrifice, the soul was implanted into the super-standard Magic Doll'Fifth Element' body made by Caster in the previous Holy Grail War.
The advantage of transferring the soul to the Magic Doll body is that the life level indirectly reaches the elf level, becoming an existence that is not inferior to the Heroic Spirit level.
Next, as long as Holy Grail War ends and Heroic Spirit starts to be deported, Pope who becomes Fifth Element will also start to be deported.
The rest is pretty easy to handle.
Pope Your Majesty, who has now become Fifth Element Magic Doll, will naturally not be Throne of Heroes when he returns to the place he returns to. With its own particularity, it will only be the paradise that countless people dream of.
Of course, things will not be that simple. However, as long as there is information about repatriation to heaven, the terrifying magical power of the Holy Grail can open the door to heaven.
Then, Pope, who becomes Fifth Element Magic Doll, will return to the unreachable paradise.

"... In other words, you were a human before?"
Incredibly, Tohsaka Rin's eyes widened. As the leader of Tohsaka Household, she naturally knew what kind of existence Heroic Spirit was. It was an existence beyond human beings. Among Life Tree System... it was also an angel-level existence.
And the girl actually said... hula, I became Servant.
This is simply outrageous... Who would jump from the life level of an ant to the human level with a hula, unless he himself is very good.
Otherwise, there is probably a god-like existence... Modify Life Tree System.
"That's pretty much it."
Ryougi Ori nodded, then smiled and said, "However, this kind of thing is not important. Let's start fighting according to the rules of Holy Grail War."
"No."
Tohsaka Rin refused righteously, and then she gently held her hair beside her ears with her bare hands, showing a confident and elegant smile, "Fighting in the daytime does not comply with the principle of mystery and concealment. Moreover, we have to go to class next, and we really don't have time to accompany the three of us to fight."
"However, if you want to fight... then we can invite a place at night."
If possible, she doesn't want to fight now. This is not because of fear, but purely from the perspective of pros and cons. Since the spirit that possessed her disappeared during the day, it should be able to reappear at night.
And this, as long as the fighting time is postponed until night, their chances of winning will undoubtedly be greater.
"Let's go."
Coldly, Ryougi Shiki said suddenly, turned around and left.
After hearing this, Ryougi Ori and Asagami Fujino looked at each other, then turned around and followed Shi away. The tense fighting spirit just now also disappeared without a trace.
They came here... just to fight, but they didn't intend to interfere too much in other people's lives. Since they wanted to go to school, there was no need to stop them.
Moreover, Holy Grail War still has other participants.
"Is this... really, just leaving like this?"
Tohsaka Rin is a little unbelievable. Her words just now... did not have any expectation of success.
However, unexpectedly it was successful.
Chapter 392 The battle between sisters
Commercial Street.
In a clothing store.
Irisviel was wearing a straw hat and a white dress. She stood in front of a full-length mirror, swaying slightly, looking both noble and innocent as a girl.
"... Caster, does this look good?"
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Medea who was wearing casual clothes. That was her husband's Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War, a woman with a tragic past.
"... Mrs. Irisviel, no matter how ordinary you are wearing, as long as it matches your figure, you will look good. Please don't question this."
Medea carefully looked at the wife with silver hair and red eyes, thought for a moment and then replied, her Master's wife has a perfect face that seems to have been carefully carved by God.
As long as you don't deliberately uglify yourself, you will look good no matter what you wear.
"Ah, Caster talks really nicely~"
Irisviel raised his hand and touched his cheek gently, as if he felt a little embarrassed. However, the smile on his beautiful face seemed to be very helpful to Medea's praise.
"If you weren't so outstanding, Madam, Master wouldn't have chosen you as his wife."
Medea shook her head slightly, with a smile on her face. She didn't hate this wife. If so, the Master whose purpose was unknown still needed to be a little vigilant.
So, this kind and enthusiastic lady didn't have many reasons to dislike her.
"...Touko, choose me?"
Irisviel blinked his eyes and pointed his fair fingers on his red lips. "It probably doesn't have much to do with excellence. I'm probably... well... that's the so-called cultivation."
She looked at Medea with a smile and said words that would make people call the police.
"Not long after I was born, I was already chosen by Touko to be my wife."
It was no lie. Not long after she gained consciousness, she became tied to a being named Aozaki Touko, as if fate required them to stay together. Maybe this was the so-called fate or something like that.
"... Master... is really a dangerous person in some respects."
Medea's expression suddenly became subtle. Although she did not deny the excellence of this beautiful lady, this kind of direct booking... and then developing behavior was really subtle.
Or is it that the competition between partners in this era has already started from childhood?
"If you are a friend, Touko is undoubtedly very reassuring."
Irisviel smiled softly and touched the hair beside his ear with his bare hands, "If you have any troubles, Caster, you can talk to Touko... maybe you will get something unexpected."
"No, as long as I have the Master's magic power, I am confident that I can win the Holy Grail."
Medea shook his head slightly and raised his hand to touch his chest. "That overflowing magic power... if you give me enough time to process it, I can even make a Holy Grail again."
Her voice is full of confidence and she says amazing things.
"Really?"
Irisviel smiled slightly and was about to continue saying something, but at this moment... a smiling clerk came over. She took the lead in praising Irisviel and said:
"Madam, the dress you are wearing really matches you. It's hard to imagine... how beautiful you would have looked in your wedding dress."
Her tone was full of sincere praise. Looking at the elegant and beautiful figure, although she didn't know the specific identity of this lady, her identity was definitely extraordinary.
At least, if you are shopping... there is no need to worry about money.
but.
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Irisviel's gentle smile gradually faded, and she suddenly remembered... Although she and Touko had been together for many years, it seemed that they had not held a wedding, and naturally they had not worn a wedding dress.
Although I had had these thoughts before, because I had enough time and it was so natural when we were together, I didn't care much about it.
However, now in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and the children can already run around. If the wedding has not yet happened, I will feel that there is something missing.
However, holding a wedding... isn't it too troublesome for Touko?
