She lowered her head, trembling, not daring to speak or look up at Yuxian.

Abby was very anxious and didn't know how to deal with the current situation. She was already making a great effort to hold back her tears.

Looking at Abby's expression, Yuxian felt a little reluctant to speak harshly. If Abby really cried, he would have a real headache.

She doesn't have the personality of Gretel or Little Jeanne. If you really make her cry, then Yuxian will have something to do.

He pointed to the person next to Jack, "You go stand there and wait too."

Abby walked quickly to Jack's side, head down, and remained silent.

Only Illya and Kuro remained, watching them Yuxian.

"So, do you two Magical Girl have anything to say?"

"Master, we know we were wrong."

Illya's attitude in admitting her mistake was very good; she didn't say anything, but simply apologized.

Illya understood this much better than the other children; admitting her mistake was definitely better than arguing back.

Yuxian nodded. Illya was indeed a very smart child. Her performance left Yuxian with no way to say anything more.

Seeing Illya's behavior, Xiao Kuro followed suit and immediately lowered her head to admit her mistake. At this moment, she greatly admired Illya and understood that admitting fault was the wisest choice.

Yuxian nodded, showing a good attitude in admitting his mistake, so he didn't say anything more.

After asking each child, Yuxian looked at them again.

Looking at these children, he felt a mix of amusement and exasperation; he couldn't hit them, nor could he scold them.

To say they made a big mistake is not really true; it was just a silly prank. The children were very sensible in their actions.

But it wouldn't be right to just let them off the hook; their actions were indeed a bit too mischievous and caused trouble for everyone.

"You guys really gave me a pleasant surprise!"

"I've only been relaxing for a few days, and you guys pull this stunt on me. It seems I haven't been caring enough about you guys."

"From now on, your free time... is gone!"

"Everyone stay at home and reflect on your actions. You are not allowed to go anywhere or leave my sight."

"You are under house arrest!"

The children breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; it was just a house arrest, thank goodness.

But soon they felt bitter. Staying at home all the time was so boring, it was making them feel terribly uncomfortable.

"Go back to sleep now. You kids are too bold to sneak out in the middle of the night."

The children returned to their rooms dejectedly and obediently went back to sleep. This time, they dared not try anything funny again.

Mash walked over and asked, "Senpai, what should we do now?"

"Go back now, the Holy Grail War is over."

Indeed, now that all the Servant have appeared, Cú Chulainn is in dire straits, Medea has no Master, and everyone else is on Yuxian's side, there is no war left.

After seven days, the Servant returned to the Throne of Heroes, and this matter came to a complete end.

Everyone present dispersed, and the children's Servant were arranged to stay at the Matou Family.

Yuxian rubbed his temples; his head was still throbbing. These kids had really given him a lot of trouble.

Hopefully, nothing else goes wrong; his heart can't take it.

The next day, after breakfast, the children sat quietly in the living room and did not run outside again.

Rebellion is definitely out of the question; I can only find something else to do to pass the time.

While they were still discussing how to spend the day, Jeanne d'Arc came over and took Little Jeanne away.

She still remembered her mission to properly educate Little Jeanne, and the conscientious Saintess decided to take responsibility to the end, determined to teach her younger self a good lesson.

Little Jeanne followed reluctantly behind Jeanne d'Arc. Now she had no power to resist and could only behave obediently.

"I am bored!"

Gretel pouted and complained. She jumped off the chair and said, "I'd better go and supervise that guy's writing of the story, so he won't drag it out again."

Gretel then left as well, leaving the remaining four children looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

Fortunately, they couldn't come up with anything interesting to do, so they all went their separate ways to find their own things to do.

Being confined at home means there aren't many things to do, which can be quite difficult for children who are used to wandering around.

However, since it was a punishment, they had no intention of disobeying it and carried out Yuxian's decision without question.

Yuxian finally had a rare moment of leisure at home, lying on the sofa and not wanting to move at all.

Life suddenly became much more leisurely.

Section 284, Chapter 63: Are you going to take things from a child?

On a rare peaceful day, I stayed home with Yuxian to do.

The children had no chance to go out and could only play at home.

They quickly forgot their initial unpleasantness and began playing around carefree again.

They always manage to find things that make them happy.

"Master, there's something we forgot to tell you."

Little Jeanne finally broke free from Jeanne d'Arc's lecturing and ran over to talk to Yuxian.

"What is it?"

Yuxian asked slowly, not thinking that the children had anything important left unsaid.

Little Jeanne said with a serious expression, "We drove Angra Mainyu out of the Greater Grail."

"Ha?"

Yuxian Little Jeanne's words; there was no reason for Little Jeanne to lie to him about such a thing.

Since Angra Mainyu is no longer in the Greater Grail, it means that the problem of the Greater Grail being contaminated is no longer there.

In other words, the Greater Grail has now regained its function as a wish-granting machine.

This is a very important matter.

The fact that the Greater Grail has regained its ability to grant wishes is no small matter.

He began to think about it seriously.

Seeing Yuxian in thought, Little Jeanne quickly said, "Master, could you give us the chance to make a wish?"

Everyone knows that the Holy Grail can grant wishes, so Little Jeanne's suggestion naturally reflects her own reasons.

Yuxian asked, "What wish do you want to make?"

The Greater Grail cannot grant unrealistic wishes, but its nature as an all-powerful wish-granting machine still allows it to do many things.

Yuxian didn't know what the children wanted.

"We want lots and lots of money!"

Gretel confidently stated from the side, "That way, even if the Master doesn't want us anymore, we can still buy lots of good things ourselves."

"Children shouldn't spend money recklessly." Yuxian refused without even thinking.

"No, we purified the Greater Grail, Master, you can't steal our credit."

"Yes, yes, Master shouldn't take things from children."

The children persisted, insisting that the opportunity to make a wish upon the Greater Grail be given to them.

Yuxian expressed his helplessness.

However, he himself didn't care. He didn't have any wishes that required him to make a wish to the Greater Grail, so it wouldn't be a problem to give them to the children.

However, there were others who participated in the Holy Grail War this time, and they deserved an equal opportunity.

Yuxian is not a particularly selfish person.

He thought for a moment and said, "If you can persuade the others to give up, I will agree to your request."

With Yuxian's approval, the children began to discuss how to persuade the others.

This is no easy task.

They contacted everyone first, and everyone gathered at the Matou Family again. The children even notified Fujimura Taiga and Medea.

No one knew what was going on; the children had invited them over under the pretext of having a meal together.

There was food to eat, especially the food prepared by Chef Emiya, so everyone rushed over without hesitation, and no one was left out.

After yet another meal together, the children began to talk about the Greater Grail.

"We worked very hard to purify the Greater Grail, so you should give it to us. Adults shouldn't take things from children."

After making their request as a matter of course, the children looked at everyone present, waiting for their reply.

Sakura Matou readily replied, "I have no objection."

The children were very happy; this was a good start.

Bazett wanted to fight for it, but Cú Chulainn gently tugged at her sleeve, and she refrained from speaking, accepting the outcome.

Her wish was originally related to Cú Chulainn, and now that Cú Chulainn doesn't want to fight for it, she will naturally follow his wishes.

Fujimura Taiga looked confused, not understanding what everyone was talking about, but since it was the children's request, she didn't think much of it, probably assuming it wasn't anything important.

She said, "I have no objection."

Medea glanced at Fujimura Taiga but remained silent; she didn't see any significance in the Holy Grail for her.

Olga Marie didn't initially have a strong desire for the Holy Grail, but seeing the children's nonchalant attitude made her more interested.

She said indignantly, "Why should we give the Holy Grail to you?"

The children all glared at her; this girl was going to argue with them again, making them very unhappy.

Olga Marie wanted to say more, but Teresa stopped her and asked the children, "What do you want to wish for?"

"You don't need to worry about that, we'll handle it ourselves."

Kiritsugu Emiya naturally had no objections.

Rin Tohsaka had already switched to spectator mode; she had a feeling that this was going to be another good show.

In some ways, Rin Tohsaka is the one here who understands the thoughts of children this age the most.

Sure enough, when it was Waver's turn last, he said very seriously, "I disagree!"

Others may not have any particularly strong desires; those present generally have enough, and the Holy Grail is not capable of fulfilling their needs.

But Waver was different. His desire was very strong, and the Holy Grail could just fulfill it, which made it impossible for him to give up this opportunity easily.

He was willing to fight with the children for it.

How could you do this!

The children began to complain, feeling very unhappy that Waver had blocked their way when they were about to achieve their goal.

Although Waver felt somewhat guilty, he was only able to participate in the Holy Grail War thanks to Yuxian, and the Greater Grail was indeed able to grant wishes again thanks to the children.

However, when a glimmer of hope appeared again, he was unwilling to give up no matter what.

Waver firmly shook his head, refusing to relinquish the Holy Grail.

The children were angry. They said, "If that's the case, then let's compete fairly and have a fight!"

Fight?

That's definitely not going to work. Who here can beat them right now?

They combined have a combined fighting strength of twelve, plus top-tier Servant like King Hassan, the Earl, and Heracles. If a real fight broke out, no one else would have a chance.
