Chapter 789

Miyu was kicked to the ground, exhaling the air from her lungs.

"Kuro, what exactly happened? Explain it to me properly... and explain it to Illya as well."

"I've already told you, you're really annoying. Even if I did, there's no way to solve the problem."

"..."

Miyu raised the Sapphire in her hand.

"Oh, you want to fight me? Sure, but do you think you can beat me?"

Miyu realized that even if she continued talking, Kuro wouldn't have a proper conversation with her.

Therefore, the only way to make her behave is by force.

Miyu slowly stood up.

Chloe shrugged and muttered that it was futile.

"Indeed, it's futile if we continue—"

Miyu showed the card in her hand to Kuro.

"That's...!?"

"Phantasm Summon!"

Miyu's body was engulfed by azure light.

Shirou stood in front of the entrance and picked up the microphone.

He thought about it all night and finally made his decision.

This matter cannot be resolved by myself alone, unlike collecting cards.

Of course, it can't be left to them to resolve internally like the conflict between Illya Miyu.

Although I really didn't want to trouble that person, but...

Ultimately, that guy was the root of all evil in this incident.

Come back here right now and clean up this mess!

Shirou reluctantly dialed the number.

After a long wait, the call was finally connected.

"Guten Tag~ How have you been lately? Have you been eating well?"

He actually called his mom on his own initiative! I'm so happy! My Shirou!

Irisviel's usual flippant voice made the boy clutch his forehead.

Volume 10: Chapter 473 What does it mean for Eiri to break through the Holy Grail War's world line in one night?

Shirou dialed the phone number of Irisviel von Einzbern, who was overseas.

Kuro is undoubtedly connected to this person.

With that in mind, Shirou explained to her what had happened at home recently.

"So you do know something about Kuro's matter, don't you?"

"Hmm~ Kuro? Is that the name of our cat?"

"Stop playing dumb!" Shirou shouted into the microphone.

"Seriously... Shirou's attitude was really tough today. I don't dislike it, though. He's very manly."

"... Haa."

In this world, Irisviel also has the same stubborn and unyielding personality, and neither Shirou nor Illya can do anything about her.

Just as Shirou was feeling speechless, Irisviel's tone turned serious.

"It's better to talk about Kuro face-to-face."

Shirou perked up at the question, "In person? Is that alright?"

"Yeah, almost home... Shirou, open the door."

"Ah?"

Shirou was dumbfounded.

Then, a loud, disturbing noise came from outside the door.

Shirou's dormant memories are awakened:

That's... the roar of Irisviel's beloved Mercedes-Benz 300SL engine!

"Phantasm Summon (Install)!"

Accompanied by the girl's shout and dazzling light, Miyu completed her Heroic Spirit transformation.

The Class Card she used was Saber, the strongest among the cards she had collected.

"Heroic Spirit transformation... Come to think of it, Miyu can use it too. And unlike Illya (me), it's a proper procedure."

Berserker may have performance surpassing Saber, but Miyu doesn't intend to use it for some reason.

Chloe wasn't surprised to see Miyu's transformed appearance; she clearly knew this information.

Illya knew everything she knew.

She knew a lot, even things that Illya didn't.

"I'm really good at cheating!"

While Miyu was pondering Chloe's true nature and fighting methods, she suddenly said these words.

Miyu was completely confused and tilted her head.

What are you suddenly saying?

But Chloe ignored her reaction and continued.

"There's a strange card at hand." "An enemy is in front of me." "So, what should I do?"

What exactly are you trying to say?

Chloe's list of words only confused Miyu more.

Then...

"Faced with this kind of question, the one who can immediately come up with the answer 'Use Class Card for Phantasm Summon' is me."

"!?"

Miyu stared in astonishment, finally understanding the true meaning behind Kuro's words.

During the battle with the Assassins, it was not Illya who used "Phantasm Summon," but Kuro.

This is impossible... It's so illogical! I simply can't believe it!

Miyu made this expression.

"Unbelievable? You're right. Miyu, I don't know the purpose, theory, or design philosophy behind Class Card."

Even so, I can still arrive at this answer.

By omitting the process, we obtain the desired result... This is how I was created.

Chloe disappeared.

Miyu felt a chill run down her spine.

Without even checking behind her, she brandished her Golden Holy Sword and stepped forward to meet Chloe's twin blades.

"Bring it on, Miyu. I'll be your opponent."

"Kuro!"

Miyu uses Saber's power to get close to Chloe always maintains a calm demeanor.

Chloe smiled broadly, struck a similar pose to Shirou, and then launched her attack.

Her sword dance was both swift and graceful; if it were Miyu in her Kaleidoscope form, she would have already been defeated.

However, Miyu now possesses Saber's power.

Even if it couldn't completely replicate the swordsmanship of the Queen of the Age of Gods, it still acquired her top-tier strength, speed, and reflexes.

Faced with Chloe's dazzling offensive, Miyu wielded her holy sword fiercely, suppressing her with brute force.

As expected! Although I feel a little guilty towards my brother, in a direct confrontation, Saber is on my side, and she's stronger...!!

Miyu quickly gained the upper hand.

No matter how dazzling Chloe's slashes are, she can judge the threat of the attack by "Instinct" and then launch a powerful counterattack based on her numerical advantage.

"Hehe, you seem pretty smug, Miyu."

Chloe maintained a calm expression, fighting and retreating until she fled into the forest.

Miyu infused her magic into the holy sword that the Sapphire had transformed into, causing a fierce wind to entangle its blade.

With a powerful swing, she snapped all the surrounding trees in half.

However, Chloe was no longer there.

"Over here!"

Chloe had appeared behind Miyu without her noticing.

She held a black bow in her hand—

Miyu managed to react, using her holy sword to block the incoming arrow, however...

"Unlimited Blade Works!"

"What!?"

The moment the arrow struck the sword, Chloe unleashed her magic.

Miyu didn't know what "Unlimited Blade Works" was; she only felt a chill and Instinct jumped backward.

"Boom----!!!"

A huge explosion occurred where she had just been.

The arrow, modeled after a sword, shattered and scattered.

Miyu quickly swung her sword, using wind pressure to sweep away the fragments.

"Waaah!"

"Next up is close combat!"

Taking advantage of the moment before Miyu could regain her footing, Chloe charged forward with her twin swords.

While Archer may not be able to defeat Saber in a direct confrontation, his strength lies in his ability to adapt to combat at any distance and switch between positions freely.

To be precise, this is Chloe's advantage; she is more adapted to life-or-death battles Miyu.

"Saber's power is indeed astonishing. I'm surprised. But..."

"Waaah!"

"Too shallow!"

"Ah!"

Miyu was sent flying by Chloe, whose strength was far inferior to hers.

The twin blades, each with a yin-yang hue, broke through the holy sword's defenses and slashed the girl's cheek.

Although Miyu managed to dodge it using her Instinct, she couldn't completely avoid it.
