A Lesson from the Past / Are We Finally Going to Fight?
Abby's actions made her feel ashamed. They were all the same kind of friends, and she had never thought that way before, but Abby had already done it.
In this respect, she is not as good as Abby.
Gretel asked, "So what do we do now? Are you going to keep looking?"
Abby shook her head. "It's getting late, there's no point in looking now, let's go back."
"Maybe we can find it along the way."
She and the Earl were already preparing to return, since finding the quest item was useless if they didn't hand it over to their companion.
"Let's go together then, there should be enough room on the Jabberwocky."
Gretel pulled Abby up the Jabberwocky, and they sat together whispering and laughing.
As the Jabberwocky ran, the laughter gradually faded away.
"Grandpa, have you arrived yet?"
Jack stood in the open space in front of the exit, blinking as she spoke. She couldn't find King Hassan 'King Hassan location and didn't know if he had already arrived or was still behind.
After waiting for a while, she realized that no one was answering her, and she started to giggle.
"I won!"
Jack was very happy; beating King Hassan was something she was very proud of.
At this moment, King Hassan's body slowly appeared in front of Jack.
"Yes, you won."
No one knows whether he just arrived or not; perhaps this is just a little encouragement from the grandfather to his granddaughter.
Yuxian and the others were also very curious, as they too were unable to determine King Hassan's location.
Yuxian asked Scathach, "Does Master know who arrived first?"
He believed that as the absolute ruler of the Shadow Land, Scathach must know King Hassan's location.
Scathach said calmly, "Jack arrived first."
"Oh?" Yuxian said with a smile, "Little Jack is quite capable!"
Then Scathach continued, "King Hassan was always two meters behind Jack."
Yuxian and speechless.
Compared to King Hassan, Jack was indeed too inexperienced.
However, he had no complaints. To him, Jack's job was simply to be happy.
Chaldea has not fallen so low as to need a group of children to fight.
Section 295, Chapter 74: Lessons from the Past
Jack and King Hassan slowly walked towards the exit; they were about to become the victors of this competition.
But at that moment, a magical force erupted from the exit.
King Hassan reacted quickly; he immediately picked up Jack and stepped back a short distance.
Puff!
The magic dispersed like Fireworks, without creating any significant impact.
Only then did King Hassan realize that the rules did not allow attacking each other, and his reaction just now was merely a subconscious conditioned reflex.
He turned his head to look at the source of the magic.
Medea and Fujimura Taiga were running towards them.
Fujimura Taiga is holding an adorable snow rabbit in his arms.
They finally managed to find it in the forest after a great deal of effort.
Although it took them a lot of time, they were still able to achieve good results because of their distance advantage.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived, King Hassan and Jack had already arrived ahead of them, just a hair's breadth away.
At this point, Medea naturally had to resort to means to interfere.
This single interruption immediately caused King Hassan and Jack to lose their advantage, and now the gap between them is very small, making it impossible to predict who will win.
It's possible that anything is possible.
However, there is a story called "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."
"Get out of here!"
As the sound rang out, a dark object flew over the heads of both groups like an arrow and sped towards the gate.
Bang!
There was a commotion in the Matou Family's living room.
"Lainis!!!"
Waver shouted angrily, not expecting Lainis to help him win in this way.
This was probably inspired by Lainis 'Touko travel Magecraft.
"My back... my back..."
Waver groaned in pain; the fall had really hurt him.
Gretel quickly stepped forward to help Waver up. "Teacher, are you alright?"
With Gretel's help, Waver gently sat down on the sofa and sighed, "Even though I won first place, why am I not happy at all?"
"Hahaha! You're really something, Waver." Melvin laughed, inwardly applauding Lainis's wit.
Meanwhile, King Hassan and Jack also secured second place by a narrow margin.
Despite Medea's meticulous planning, she could only come in third place in the end.
The gap between the top three is extremely small, practically negligible, which was unexpected.
All I can say is that Lainis is truly a good assistant and a good sworn sister.
Only then did she slowly peek her head out from the other side of the door and ask nervously, "Brother, are you alright?"
"I'd better wait until my brother calms down before I come out."
Seeing Waver glaring at her angrily, Lainis immediately shrank back into herself, completely lacking any backbone.
She didn't want to go out and vent her anger on Waver at this time; avoiding his sharp edge wasn't shameful, it was a strategy.
Gretel's Jabberwocky finally carried her and Abby to their late arrival. They looked at Lainis sitting at the exit with some curiosity.
"What are you doing?"
Gretel Rhyme asked Lainis suspiciously, wondering if Lainis had some kind of conspiracy, and became cautiously on guard.
"It's alright, you can go out now. Three groups have already arrived, you are the fourth and fifth." Lainis waved her hand to indicate that they didn't need to worry about her.
"Are there already so many people here? Let's hurry up too."
Gretel urged Abby, "You go out first, I'll just stay behind you."
Of course, she wouldn't compete with Abby for this ranking. After all, it was Abby who gave her the quest item, and she was already benefiting from Abby's help. It would be only natural for her to give way a little at this time.
Before Abby could say anything more, Gretel pushed her from behind, leading Abby towards the door.
They achieved fourth and fifth place respectively.
Next, the others slowly began to arrive, first Mordred's group, then Illya's group, and then Kuro's group.
Olga Marie and Tamamo Cat squandered a good opportunity and finished fourth from last.
The last three are the Rin Tohsaka sisters, the Little Jeanne sisters, and the Cú Chulainn sisters who are questioning their existence.
This time, Rin and Sakura didn't disagree and worked together, but due to wasting too much time at the beginning, plus a bit of luck, they still didn't achieve good results.
Compared to last place last time, this time there has been a rare improvement.
Of course, Rin Tohsaka was definitely not satisfied with this result; in her opinion, third to last was no different from last place.
"It's all those kids' fault!" Rin Tohsaka began to complain.
Sakura smiled and comforted her, "Let's try again tomorrow."
Rin Tohsaka had no other choice but to sulk by herself.
She nodded, secretly resolving to strive for a top-three finish tomorrow... no, to strive for first place.
Little Jeanne was also sulking with Jeanne d'Arc.
"It's all your fault! You kept nagging the whole way back, making us so late. It's all your fault!"
Jeanne d'Arc smiled but didn't speak. She was only thinking about how to properly guide Little Jeanne and didn't care about winning or losing.
The person with the worst expression in the living room was Cú Chulainn; he began to question the meaning of life.
Despite having the advantage of being familiar with the environment, he ended up at the bottom, which he simply couldn't accept.
In his mind, even if he couldn't get first place, he should be confident of getting into the top three.
However, the reality was so cruel that he could not accept such an ending no matter what.
Why is this happening?
He longed to roar to the heavens.
Bazett was also at a loss, not knowing how to comfort Cú Chulainn. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way either; it was indeed embarrassing and a loss of face.
Especially Cú Chulainn's confident demeanor at the beginning, which contrasts sharply with his current state.
This made them feel even more ashamed, as if everyone's gaze was filled with mockery.
Poor Cú Chulainn, he must have been targeted by his master.
Yuxian thought to himself, although he had no evidence, this matter was indeed somewhat illogical. Even if he was unlucky, Cú Chulainn, with his geographical advantage, should not have come in last place.
There's definitely an element of deliberate targeting involved. Given the Master's familiarity with Cú Chulainn and the Shadow Land, finding a few blind spots in Cú Chulainn would be a piece of cake.
Of course, Yuxian could only think it in his heart; he could never say it out loud, not even in his entire life.
He gave himself a mental reminder.
Even a master craftsman can make things difficult for someone, so we must not be careless because of her usual nonchalant demeanor.
Otherwise, Cú Chulainn would serve as a cautionary tale for him.
He glanced at Tong Yao's smiling Gretel and began to worry about her.
This little one probably doesn't realize that she's already been written up in her little notebook!
Chapter 75, Section 296: Is the fight finally about to begin?
The Holy Grail War has come to an end on the sixth day.
Everyone left with different feelings.
Little Jack currently holds the advantage, having secured first and second place once, firmly holding the lead.
After that, Waver came in first place once, Fujimura Taiga came in second once and third once, Abby came in third once and fourth once.
The final winner will basically come from these four groups; everyone knows that.
The children envied Jack's good luck; she seemed to be playing casually, yet she unexpectedly took the lead for the time being.
"Jack Jack, you're going to win."
