"I understand."
Rieses nodded understandingly.
Seeing this, Illya's little face immediately fell down. I wanted to say loudly that you don't understand, but it is too embarrassing to dwell on this matter, and there are too many maids watching.
So, she swallowed what she wanted to say.
"Forget it, leave it to me."
Sella said a little tiredly, then turned his beautiful eyes to Illya, and said with a gentle smile, "Illya, I have prepared dinner."
"Well, let's eat first."
Illya nodded slightly, then raised his little fist. "When I take a shower and finish my homework... I'll go out and tell those guys that even elementary school students are not easy to bully!"
Her voice was a little angry, and she was very dissatisfied with being treated as a weakling, and she had to prove her strength.
Otherwise, people will always make trouble for her.
"Hehehe... If this is Illya's decision, I will support it."
Sella gently held the hair beside his ears with his bare hands, and said with a smile on his pretty face, "However, Illya, who do you want to attack? None of the participants of this Holy Grail War should be underestimated."
"The big sister with blue hair and a sword!"
Illya didn't want to answer aloud.
"... Really?"
Sella was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She bent down and leaned into Illya's ear, whispering, "Illya, let me tell you a secret..."
Chapter 419: Small talk
Fuyuki City Bridge.
Mordred was sitting alone on the top of the bridge. The traffic below was constantly flowing, and the lights were passing by like running water. There was a half-eaten cake beside her.
"Damn, it's better than..."
She said angrily, but suddenly stopped, and immediately turned her eyes to the cake lying aside, then picked it up and started eating after a slight hesitation.
It is fluffy and moderately sweet. Although it cannot be said to be... very delicious, there is no doubt that you can taste the care of the cook and his cooking skills that are as sharp as a knife.
This is... a cake made by a girl named Gray, which contains a sense of girlish tenderness.
"... regret answering the call?"
The heroic man's voice suddenly sounded.
Mordred paused slightly as she ate the cake, then ate the cake as if nothing had happened. She knew that it was not the so-called enemy, but her Master Kairi Shishigou himself.
"Regret... that's not the case."
She said calmly and quickly destroyed half of the cake.
On the side, Kairi Shishigou silently watched Little Mo finish eating all the cake, then squatted down next to Little Mo, took out a cigarette, lit it and started smoking.
He looked at the brightly lit city in the distance, handed a bag to Little Mo and said:
"There will probably be a battle later. I need to replenish my magic power a little bit. Now... the magic power I can provide is not very sufficient."
"Cake again."
Mordred said with some displeasure, but still took the cake and ate it silently. However, the moment it entered his lips, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said:
"Is this...Gray making a cake?"
"Don't you like it?"
Kairi Shishigou asked rhetorically.
"No, that's not the case."
Shaking her head, Mordred lowered her head, stared at the cake in her hand, and silently began to eat it again. She did not eat in a hurry this time, it could even be said that she ate very carefully.
It was as if... she was sipping a cup of delicious black tea.
"Speaking of it, I never had the chance to say it before."
Kairi Shishigou looked at Little Mo who was eating the cake, and a rare gentle smile appeared on his ferocious face, "Actually, I know the information about now...King Arthur, but it is too detailed to guarantee it."
"Have you ever collected it specifically?"
Mordred's green eyes were curious, and he chewed the cake with his mouth puffed out.
Seeing this scene, Kairi Shishigou smiled, took out the cigarette in his mouth and flicked the ashes, looked at the sparkling river, and said:
"For some reasons, I was tracking down the information on Aozaki Touko, and by the way, I was investigating your Father King, Saber. However, I originally thought it was a useless effort."
He smiled happily.
"However, it seems that it still has considerable value."
It's not a lie. In order to solve the problem of the curse, he specially collected a lot of information about Aozaki Touko, tried to analyze Aozaki Touko's personality and needs, and then prepared the chips that Aozaki Touko wanted.
But it's a pity that he... hasn't collected any effective chips yet.
"...Father King?"
Mordred was silent for a moment, then shook his head vigorously. "Compared to Father King, I am more interested in Aozaki Touko. What is going on with that woman? It seems that she has affairs with many women."
She said unhappily, with a ferocious expression on her face.
This is natural. She would inevitably feel unhappy that her Father King partner was so obsessed with her. If it weren't for her lack of strength... she might have Aozaki Touko chopped off.
However, the reality is cruel... The disparity in strength between the two sides is as great as heaven and earth.
"Is this... I don't know."
Kairi Shishigou thought for a moment and gave this reply.
"Hey... what is this!"
Mordred widened his eyes in displeasure. "So... you still have the nerve to say that you have investigated that woman, but you can't even tell me this bit of information."
"No, from the surface... he is just a playboy."
Kairi Shishigou shook his head and threw the cigarette butt off the iron bridge. The red arc of light fell and disappeared. Then, he took out a cigarette and lit it. After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"Many people have analyzed Aozaki Touko's personality, and then wanted to use their beauty... as bargaining chips to trade with Aozaki Touko. However, it only really worked once recently, and that was... the legendary Golden Princess and Silver Princess, these two stunning beauties in the world."
"Others... also tried to complete the deal with Aozaki Touko by sending rare beauties in this world. However, the most they received were praises from Aozaki Touko, but there was no way to attract Aozaki Touko's nostalgic eyes."
"That Magic User likes beauties... but doesn't care about the beauties that come to his door. Perhaps, there is... a deep-seated reason that people don't know."
"However, this is probably only known to Aozaki Touko himself."
Saying this, he exhaled a long puff of smoke with some melancholy, and his eyes became helpless. In fact, he also thought about finding a beauty to seduce Aozaki Touko, but he couldn't find a beauty of sufficient level.
Therefore, I simply gave up this idea... and started thinking of ways to make money.
However, it was probably a joke of fate. Some time ago... Aozaki Touko suddenly pulled him into Holy Grail War, and promised to help solve the curse problem.
Maybe this is the so-called... twists and turns.
"... Isn't this... not the right choice for the person?"
Mordred glanced at the Master beside him and said disdainfully, then shook his head. "However, the so-called feeling... there is really no way to explain it clearly."
She ate the rest of the cake in one bite and raised her head to remember.
"I can't remember exactly who said it. The reason why a woman develops a crush on someone is that she senses a certain advantage in that person. It could be handsomeness, talent, strength and reliability. To be more realistic, having money is also a plus."
"However, these are at best... the degree of good feelings. For a woman to really like or even fall in love with someone, it may be a suitable opportunity, or a strong throbbing in an instant."
"Although I don't know whether this statement is true or not, Aozaki Touko is also a woman, so this statement may also apply to her."
"So, there shouldn't be much point in worrying about this..."
She turned her head and smiled at Master, as if comforting... or mocking, but what was certain was that the smile was not annoying.
"Ah... this is probably what is called a woman's heart, a needle in the sea."
Kairi Shishigou shook his head, and suddenly laughed out loud happily. He didn't need to think about these useless things now, although he didn't recognize it... Aozaki Touko was a being who didn't even know his own thoughts.
Standing at that point, Master Magecraft... probably wouldn't have this level of uncertainty.
Chapter 420 Little Mo has many elders
"... It's almost time. It's time to stretch your body."
Mordred stood on the steel bridge, facing the cold river breeze blowing in his face, stretched out comfortably, his golden hair fluttering in the wind, his appearance was both straightforward and girlish.
"I hope this time my opponent... won't be too difficult."
Kairi Shishigou threw away the cigarette in his mouth, stood up and was about to set off with Little Mo to find the enemy, but at the moment he said it.
"Be careful!"
Mordred shouted, and quickly reached out to grab Kairi Shishigou by his collar, dragging him to jump off the steel bridge. Then, he dropped like a cannonball onto a passing vehicle, heavily denting the front of the vehicle.
At the same time, the top of the steel bridge they were standing on just now seemed to be twisted like a twist. It was... a hard bridge made of steel, but it could suddenly twist to such an extent.
"This is... a raid."
Kairi Shishigou looked up at the twisted steel frame, a trace of fear appearing on his fierce face. If Little Mo hadn't suddenly pulled him down and jumped down, he would have been a ball of minced meat now.
The invisible attack just now... was too difficult to detect.
"It's an invitation... it seems like there's no hidden intention."
Mordred cast his eyes towards the distant river bank, and saw exactly one Woman with purple hair, looking at them with a gentle smile, as if he had just made a surprise attack... just a simple greeting.
In other words, for the purple-haired woman... it was as much as saying hello.
"Looks like a tough guy."
Kairi Shishigou took out his shotgun and fixed his gaze on the enemy on the far river bank. Since he was attacked like this... it would be too embarrassing if he didn't fight back.
"Master, let me go and find out the details first!"
Mordred smiled fiercely, then jumped and ran towards the river bank.
Seeing this, Kairi Shishigou also planned to catch up, but suddenly a fearful and suppressed female voice came, causing his movements to pause.
He looked along where the sound came from and saw the owner of the car whose front was trampled by them. She was a woman in her thirties, covering her lips with both hands, and her eyes were full of fear.
There is no doubt that this female driver is... very unlucky.
"Ah... it's really troublesome."
Kairi Shishigou raised his hand and scratched his head. He was about to use Suggestion Magecraft to erase that woman's memory, but just when he had this idea.
"Um... do you want to kill me and silence me?"
The woman asked fearfully.
"No."
Kairi Shishigou shook his head, jumped off the damaged front of the car, stared at the unlucky female driver and said, "I'm not willing to... kill someone just because of such a trivial matter."
"Is that to erase the memory?!"
The woman asked quickly again.
"Ah, that's pretty much it."
Kairi Shishigou nodded, intending to use Suggestion Magecraft to erase the memory of this unfortunate female driver, but just when he made a move.
"Wait!"
The woman suddenly raised her hand and choked up. "Um... I rented this car. Can you give me some compensation? I'm just an ordinary social animal. If I am burdened with heavy debt... I will be finished."
"..."
Kairi Shishigou fell silent.
