The Great Hero's Peculiar Taste / Want to Take a Trip to the Land of Shadows?

"Who is the great hero?" Olga Marie caught up and asked, puzzled.

Yuxian said in a deep voice, "The great Persian hero, Arash!"

"Arash, the one who ended the war with a single arrow?"

Olga Marie had clearly heard of Arash's fame and was quite impressed by it.

This hero, whose name is etched in history, is widely known for his deeds; it can be said that Arash is synonymous with Archer.

Yuxian saw that Arash on the other side had no intention of making a move; he was just standing there confronting them.

He called out to the other side, "Great hero, what is your purpose? Who is your Master?"

Arash smiled and replied, "I certainly can't tell you who my Master is."

"But they said it was too boring at night, so they told me to come out and stretch my muscles."

"They?"

Yuxian, there were other Servant, and judging from Arash's tone, they were allies.

This is absolutely terrible news.

"Oops, I accidentally let it slip."

Arash also realized that his words revealed some inappropriate information, and he smiled as he felt remorseful.

Yuxian, however, did not think so. He felt that Arash was warning them, indicating that there were six other Servant behind him, so that Yuxian others would not dare to act rashly.

After Yuxian moment of silence, Yu Xian called out again, "Great hero, please tell your Master that the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City has been corrupted and cannot grant any wishes."

Since we're participating in the Holy Grail War, our goal is undoubtedly the Holy Grail. Yuxian hopes that by conveying this message, we can prevent the opposing side from acting recklessly.

However, Arash shook his head. "They have no interest in the Holy Grail, I have no interest, none of us have any interest."

Chapter 52, Section 273: The Great Hero's Perverse Interests

Arash wasn't lying; the children certainly had no interest in the Holy Grail.

He also knew that the person in front of him was the Master of the Master, and he could not easily offend him.

Therefore, his tone of voice was very polite.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Arash, Yuxian didn't know what to do and hesitated before coming up with a good solution.

Yuxian didn't know what Arash and his Master's demands were, but from Arash's tone, he could tell that they were not there for the Holy Grail, and he believed Arash wouldn't lie about that.

Arash remained standing there with a smile on his face, showing no intention of attacking or retreating; his purpose was extremely difficult to discern.

Yuxian felt a headache coming on.

He hoped that they could reach a consensus through communication, but this was clearly difficult.

Just as Yuxian Xian was hesitating, a red figure suddenly appeared from the side; her target was Arash.

Brush!

Arash dodged the sudden sword strike with a quick movement.

"That was close!"

He said this, but his expression was very relaxed and carefree, and he was not thrown off balance by the sudden attack.

"It's Mordred!"

The children had been watching what was happening, and soon the red figure appeared; it was Mordred, who wasn't wearing armor.

Kiritsugu Emiya was nowhere to be seen, perhaps watching from somewhere, but Mordred's presence here clearly indicated that he was also observing the situation from some shadowy place.

Mordred, having failed in her first attack, showed no sign of backing down and immediately charged at Arash again, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Arash held the bow in his left hand and plucked the bowstring with his right, shooting arrows one after another toward Mordred.

He kept dodging while counterattacking, and it seemed that he was not without the strength to fight back, but rather on par with Mordred.

Mordred didn't interfere Yuxian the battle; he knew Mordred didn't like others helping him.

The fight between the two appeared intense, but there was no real progress; it was as if they were just acting.

The children, on the other hand, watched with great enjoyment, shouting and laughing.

Mordred was getting annoyed by Arash's harassment, and wisps of electricity appeared on the Caliburn in her hand.

This is a sign that things are about to get serious.

Sure enough, Mordred let out a loud roar, and a dazzling light emanated from the Caliburn.

"You rat that only knows how to dodge, die!"

Mordred prepares to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

Arash's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He wasn't there to fight to the death. If he were to take a hit from a Noble Phantasm, even with his strong body, he would be half-dead if he didn't die.

"Oh dear, I messed up."

Arash let out a soft cry and leaped away, deciding to make a quick getaway.

He didn't want to come here to act and end up injured. Anyway, he had basically fulfilled the children's requests, so he had completed his mission and could retreat without any burden.

Mordred, however, had no intention of letting Arash go. She continued to gather magic power, preparing to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

Kiritsugu Emiya, hiding in the shadows, could not allow Mordred to act this way. If he unleashed his Noble Phantasm, tomorrow's headlines in Fuyuki City would be about a series of gas explosions.

"Mordred, come back!"

Kiritsugu Emiya quickly interrupted Mordred's Noble Phantasm to restrain her behavior.

"Cut!"

Mordred was dissatisfied, but she knew that even if she unleashed her Noble Phantasm now, it would be difficult to keep Arash alive, so she could only turn around and leave dejectedly.

The second night of the Holy Grail War has come to an end.

When Arash returned to his room, the children crowded around him, asking him all sorts of questions and asking if he was hurt.

"Haha..." Arash laughed helplessly, "It's okay, I'm fine, don't worry."

Hearing Arash say this, the children were relieved. Although they were being mischievous, they would be sad if Arash got hurt because of it.

"That's enough for today. We need to hurry back and get ahead of our Master."

Now that the party is over, Yuxian will naturally return to the Matou Family to rest. The children must be in bed and asleep before he leaves, or else something terrible will happen.

"That..."

King Hassan, who was usually taciturn, suddenly spoke up, as if he had something to say.

"Grandpa, is there something you need?"

The children looked at him curiously, wondering what King Hassan was going to say.

King Hassan's eyes flickered beneath his mask, but he ultimately didn't utter the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"... It's nothing, you guys go back now..."

Since King Hassan had nothing else to do, the children said goodbye to them.

"We're off now! We'll come back to visit you guys tomorrow!"

They ran nimbly towards the Matou Family, afraid that if they were too slow, they would fall behind Yuxian when they got home.

"What were you trying to say?"

Arash asked King Hassan with a smile, feeling that King Hassan must have had something to say but changed his mind at the last moment.

King Hassan remained silent and did not answer Arash's question.

At this moment, Jeanne d'Arc spoke up, saying, "She probably felt that there was no point in saying anything."

She roughly guessed what King Hassan was going to say, but after spending the last few days together, the children's personalities had become very clear, and they were not easily persuaded.

Arash laughed and said, "Actually, I think this is pretty good. At least we don't have to face brutal battles. It's a rare chance to relax."

Jeanne d'Arc looked speechlessly at Arash, who seemed completely content with the status quo. "Mr. Arash, you're spoiling them way too much."

Arash shook her head. "These children are all lovely, and they're all kind-hearted. Don't you all think so too?"

Arash bluntly exposed everyone's thoughts.

"Otherwise, which of you here would willingly be enslaved like this?"

Arash chuckled. "You're just too proud to admit it. You feel it's beneath you to act like heroes or legends and accompany a few kids in this nonsense."

"Actually, once you get into it, you'll find it's quite interesting."

Arash burst into laughter as he spoke.

He said with great interest, "Actually, I'm quite looking forward to seeing what it will be like when their Master discovers the truth."

"That's a scene you absolutely can't miss; it's sure to bring us unexpected joy."

It's easy to see that when Yuxian learns that the mastermind behind all of this was the children playing around, he'll realize that they were just having fun.

It will definitely be a very exciting scene.

Everyone else present looked at Arash and began to re-evaluate this great hero who had always been optimistic and cheerful.

None of them expected Arash to have such a wicked side.

Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover.

Everyone has another side, it's just that they don't usually show it, and even great heroes are no exception.

Section 274, Chapter 53: Are you going to the Shadow Land for tourism?

After returning home, Yu Yuxian plopped down on the sofa and collapsed there.

So much has happened tonight.

Medea's appearance and her relationship with Fujimura Taiga, while unexpected, were still within Yuxian's acceptable range.

However, Arash's meddling was giving Yuxian a real headache.

He rubbed his temples hard and said to Mash, "We're in trouble this time."

Mash sat down gently beside Yuxian and said thoughtfully, "I don't know why, but I always feel that the great hero doesn't seem to have any intention of being our enemy."

She had this intuition for no reason, which was quite inexplicable and even she found it unbelievable.

"I hope so."

Yuxian sighed and decided to put the matter aside for the time being and get some rest first.

When he returned to the room, the children were already in bed, behaving very well without making a fuss.

Yuxian smiled gently. He agreed with what Mash had said that morning. These children seemed to have really matured and didn't cause him any trouble at this time.

This comforted him greatly.

The next day, Yuxian invited Waver, Olga Marie, and the entire Kiritsugu Emiya family to dinner together.

He needed to discuss the next steps with them; things were no longer as casual as they had been at the beginning.

Dinner was still cooked by Emiya himself, but Tamamo Cat volunteered to help, making things much easier for Emiya.

A large group of people gathered together for a meal, creating a lively atmosphere.

At the dinner table, Mordred kept staring at Gretel, which made Gretel pull her hood up to cover her face.

She seemed somewhat resistant to Mordred's gaze and acted very reserved.
