If it were Artoria, there would definitely be no problem. Even if she was unwilling, she would uphold the spirit of chivalry and strictly carry out her Master's orders.

But Mordred is a different story; if her tail gets stepped on, she'll get really angry.

Yuxian then asked, "What about Olga Marie?"

"Her Servant are supposedly still asleep. Judging from her hesitant tone, they're probably not any serious heroic Heroic Spirit."

Emiya also felt quite helpless. Apart from Rin Tohsaka, who was still missing, all the other Servant were the rather troublesome type.

This time, because they were well-prepared, five of the seven spots in the Holy Grail War were from allies.

With victory seemingly assured, they suddenly find the situation slowly slipping out of control.

That's really uncomfortable.

There's a saying, isn't there?

Fortresses are often breached from within.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

Chapter 39, Section 260: Grandfather and Granddaughter

Daytime.

Inside the old warehouse, the children are discussing their upcoming itinerary.

"There's nothing fun here, shall we go somewhere else?"

"Where shall we go for fun?"

"There are people everywhere, we'll be discovered."

"By the way, Ryuudou Temple is a good place. It's less crowded there. Let's go there and have some fun."

The children finally decided to go to Ryuudou Temple, which is a quiet and nice place with few people.

Although it was quite far, they still got up and set off for Ryuudou Temple.

The Servant they summoned naturally followed them there.

"You're not allowed to go. You stay here and write your book!"

When the Gretel saw that Hans Christian Andersen also stood up and was preparing to go to Ryuudou Temple with everyone else, she said sternly.

Hans Christian Andersen certainly didn't want to leave only one person in this dilapidated warehouse; that would be too tragic.

He said, "I need to find inspiration, which will be good for my writing."

Gretel thought about it and agreed that she shouldn't push Hans Christian Andersen too hard, so she didn't say anything more.

The group arrived at Ryuudou Temple, which was indeed a nice place, with no other drawbacks except that it was a bit far away.

"Grandpa! Let's play hide-and-seek!"

As soon as Jack arrived at the location, he immediately started running, leaping and bounding, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

King Hassan wore a mask, so his facial expression was not visible, but he moved around in a cooperative manner, searching for Jack's whereabouts.

Presence Concealment is not dimensional travel; Jack's people are still in this area, a fact that King Hassan is well aware of.

However, the reason why high-level Presence Concealment can be almost undetectable is that it allows the user to assimilate with the world to a certain extent.

It's extremely difficult to find him; ordinary, low-level search methods like following clues will absolutely not lead to Jack.

But King Hassan had a way.

He walks through the valleys, touching the edge of life and death; his mental acuity is beyond that of ordinary people.

The eyes on his skull mask began to glow.

This is how King Hassan expresses his emotions.

When you're angry, your eyes shine; when you're sad, your eyes shine; when you're happy, your eyes shine.

No matter what I do, my eyes light up...

"Here!"

King Hassan reached his hand towards the tree branch to his side and behind him.

"Giggle!"

Sure enough, Jack was perched on the branch. Once found, she jumped down immediately and laughed happily.

How did Grandpa find us?

Jack tilted her head and looked at King Hassan with curiosity in her eyes; she thought she had hidden herself very well.

King Hassan explained, "Because your eyes have been looking at me, and human eyes can convey thoughts."

He shook his head inwardly. The little girl in front of him had absolutely no assassin skills; she acted more on instinct.

For an assassin, it is a major taboo to keep your eyes fixed on the target.

"Is that so?"

Jack blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite; she couldn't grasp these profound truths.

After thinking for a while without figuring it out, Jack gave up on continuing to think about the problem.

She blindfolded herself and said, "Now it's Grandpa's turn to hide. Jack's coming for you!"

King Hassan's figure disappeared from his original position, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

"Are you done yet?"

Jack, still blindfolded, shouted loudly, but she didn't hear King Hassan's reply.

"Jack is coming!"

As he spoke, Jack lowered his hands, opened his eyes, and looked around.

She ran to a big tree, shouting, "Here it is!"

She hugged it tightly, but in her arms there was only the big tree, not King Hassan.

"It's not here."

Jack blinked hard and continued his search.

"Not here either..."

"Not here either."

Where is it?

Jack's eyes darted around, and she closed them.

"Found you!"

It turned out that King Hassan had not moved at all; he had been standing in the same spot the whole time.

Jack grabbed his clothes, a smug smile on his face.

King Hassan shook his head inwardly and gave a wry smile.

Jack didn't find King Hassan with real skill; she cheated by using the Command Spells' connection.

However, King Hassan did not expose her; this innocent and naive little girl was not an assassin at all.

Or rather, she never received any systematic training in assassination.

"Your name is Jack, right?"

King Hassan began by saying, "Want to learn from me how to become an excellent assassin?"

Upon hearing King Hassan's words, Jack blinked her big eyes in confusion.

She asked innocently, "Why do I want to become a good assassin?"

"Because this way you'll never fail in your assassinations."

"But Mom said that Jack no longer needs to kill people."

King Hassan fell silent.

Indeed, why learn assassin techniques if you don't need to kill people?

The little girl in front of me didn't need that kind of thing at all. From her innocent eyes, I could tell that she had no intention of becoming an assassin.

They should be playing happily without any worries.

The six little girls here are all extraordinary. King Hassan could certainly tell that they were not ordinary Master, but their happiness was not feigned; they were genuinely enjoying this kind of life.

Very nice.

While King Hassan was still sighing to himself, Jack kept pestering him to continue playing hide-and-seek.

He readily agreed.

If the Hassan throughout history knew that the legendary King Hassan was like an old man doting on his granddaughter, playing such childish games with a little girl.

Their worldview must be shattered...

Apart from Jack, the other children were playing on their own.

Illya and Heracles sat side by side on the steps talking, though it was only Illya who did the talking, but she didn't seem to get tired of it at all, her mouth moving on and on as if she had endless topics to discuss.

Gretel are supervising Hans Christian Andersen, ostensibly to prevent him from slacking off.

She'd finally caught Hans Christian Andersen; this time, she was determined to make him change all those outrageous endings.

Kuro is asking the great hero for advice on archery techniques.

Are Jeanne d'Arc and Little Jeanne arguing?

As for Abigail.

She found the Earl hiding in a dark corner, her eyes timidly trying to approach him and speak.

The Earl glanced at Abigail, who was moving closer to him, but made no other reaction.

Seeing that the Earl didn't seem to want to send her away, Abby grew a little bolder and slowly approached him.

Why don't you go play with everyone?

Abby asked softly.

The Earl remained silent, his eyes filled with melancholy, his gaze unfocused, as if he had not heard Abigail's words.

Abby continued, "Everyone is fine, don't be afraid."

Abigail's words filled the Earl with disdain.

Is he afraid?

He was never afraid of anyone; others were always afraid of him.
