"--!!"
Olga Marie's expression first froze in shock, then blossomed with delight. Her prayers had worked so unexpectedly well—had the Animusphere family's astronomy and astrology finally evolved into "magecraft," becoming "Greater Prophecy"?
"Hmm... I'd originally imagined making a more heroic entrance! Didn't expect it to be so ordinary."
Lianye glanced around the battlefield and muttered. Wasn't it customary in traditional stories for the protagonist to make a grand entrance only after the battle had deteriorated to its worst point, when all seemed nearly hopeless?
It was all Red Hare's fault! Even when merely traveling, it was far too fast!
"Isn't it hopeless enough already? Gudako got dragged into that 'Iron Maiden,' you bastard."
Whether astrology had truly advanced into "Greater Prophecy" or not, Olga Marie had definitely maxed out her skill points in savage retorts during this time.
"Do you really think Gudako would be brought down by a mere 'Iron Maiden'?"
"What do you mean, 'mere'?—That's an anti-Servant Noble Phantasm! How could anyone possibly..."
Even as Olga Marie said that, Lianye could not help tilting his head blankly.

A single-target Noble Phantasm, an Iron Maiden specialized against women—could that thing really be more vicious than a corrupted Holy Grail?
"Hey, Gudako, is that Iron Maiden fun? Do you need me to add some fire from outside...?"
Not only the Iron Maiden, he wanted to subject her to the brutal punishment of roasting as well? He was far more "vicious" toward Gudako than even Camilla.
Everyone froze for a moment. But no matter how they thought about it,
