Is There Something Wrong with the Holy Grail?

As Tinī's thoughts drifted away, the man in black spoke again:

"We found the ownership documents for Crystal Hill in the room...it is now in your name."

Tinī was suddenly stunned. Crystal Hill was the most luxurious building in downtown Snowfield, and its value was extremely high.

The Guardians of the Land Clan have considerable assets and wealth, but buying such a large building is not an easy task.

Furthermore, the man in black said it was under her name, not her family's name, which is a significant difference.

Tinī stood there stunned, tears streaming down her face.

She covered her face and burst into tears, crying loudly like a child... She was just a child!

This is the king's reward. What merit does she have to receive such a reward? She doesn't think she has done anything to help the king, or even hinder him.

Tinī rushed into the luxury suite on the top floor of Crystal Hill like a madwoman; everything there was exactly as she had left it.

It was magnificent and Gilgamesh.

This is the king's palace.

Everything here bears the mark of the king.

Tinī watched all of this quietly, as if the King's figure were still there, watching her.

"Children should act like children. I, the king, allow you to frolic and play in the courtyard."

Tinī hastily wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, then suddenly laughed.

She laughed heartily, with immense joy.

It felt as if all the burdens on my shoulders had been lifted, and I felt incredibly relaxed.

She was still a child; all she needed to do was look up to the king's majesty.

Standing behind such a towering figure, she felt incredibly safe and secure.

Tinī smiled and softly uttered two words.

"Very nice..."

On the other side, Richard I clung to Mash like a leech, constantly asking her questions about Artoria and the Knights of the Round Table.

They asked about everything, big and small, even what they ate every day and how much they ate at each meal, asking several times.

He was fascinated by everything about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Only Mash would patiently answer his questions with a good temper.

Sajyou Ayaka stood far away, turning her head away with an expression that said, "I don't know him."

This kind of Lionheart made her feel really ashamed.

Mordred was on the verge of killing someone; Richard I's questions kept pissing at her nerves.

Yuxian watched all this with a smile, finding it extremely amusing.

Richard I's behavior made him realize the Lionheart's endearing qualities, instantly bridging the gap between them.

He couldn't help but imagine what Artoria would think if she knew she had such a devoted fan.

It will definitely be very interesting, especially when the other Knights of the Round Table find out. I wonder if they will feel threatened.

After all, this is Chef Wang, whose culinary skills are in no way inferior to theirs.

Ereshkigal gently poked Sajyou Ayaka with her finger.

"There is a little soul following you."

Sajyou Ayaka was taken aback. Of course, she knew what Ereshkigal was talking about, which was also the reason why she kept traveling in an attempt to escape.

She was trembling with fear.

But when she thought of Ereshkigal's identity, she looked at Ereshkigal with hopeful eyes, "Can you help me?"

Ereshkigal blinked. "You can certainly ask her to leave if you want, and I can help you with that, but she doesn't seem to want to leave you."

"Besides, she didn't mean any harm. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Sajyou Ayaka was stunned by Ereshkigal's words. It was the first time she had heard from someone else about Little Red Riding Hood, who always followed her around.

She had been troubled and afraid all along.

This is something only she can see; no one else can even look directly at its existence.

"You can see her... Could you help me ask her why she keeps following me?"

Sajyou Ayaka looked at Ereshkigal with expectant eyes, eager to know the reason for all of this.

She always thought Little Red Riding Hood was blaming her for inaction, and she felt guilty for her cowardice in not helping her immediately.

Ereshkigal glanced at Sajyou Ayaka's side, then looked at her.

"She seems to really like you and doesn't want to leave you."

"I..." Sajyou Ayaka didn't know what to say. These chilling words made her very uncomfortable.

After a long while, she finally spoke again, asking, "Why..."

Ereshkigal said with a smile, "She probably wants to repay you and wants to help you."

"Perhaps it's because you helped her before."

As Sajyou Ayaka recalled past events, she realized she had failed to help Little Red Riding Hood and had cowardly chosen to back down.

"I... I didn't..." Sajyou Ayaka said haltingly.

"I didn't help her; I ran away."

Ereshkigal glanced around at her, then looked up and said, "She said you had it, and you pressed the elevator button for her."

"I pressed the elevator button..." Sajyou Ayaka increasingly guilty, hating herself for her past avoidance and cowardice.

Why didn't she stand up then? Why didn't she choose to help her?

Simply pressing the elevator button doesn't count as helping.

Sajyou Ayaka remained silent, filled with regret.

She had always thought that Little Red Riding Hood was bothering her because she was upset that she hadn't stood up for her.

Now she finally realized that she was wrong; she had only helped press the elevator button, and the child was grateful to her.

However, she couldn't feel happy at all.

"I could have done more... but I didn't..."

She burst into tears; the pain in her heart was like an overflowing cup that could no longer be contained.

Mingming learned from Ereshkigal that Little Red Riding Hood wasn't blaming her, but rather grateful to her.

But Sajyou Ayaka would rather she be blamed. Such gratitude made her feel ashamed and made her feel even more ashamed of her past.

If only they had stood up, the child would have been safe; if only they had called the police, the child would have been saved.

But she chose to ignore it, she chose to run away; she was so selfish and cowardly.

However, she was grateful to the child simply for helping her press the elevator button.

"This child doesn't want to hurt you. If you want her to leave, you can come to me."

After Ereshkigal finished speaking, she stopped bothering Sajyou Ayaka. The Underworld Goddess was gentle and kind, and she would leave the choice to Sajyou Ayaka.

Before dawn the next day, Sajyou Ayaka left without saying goodbye.

She left Snowfield, alone.

She didn't seek help from Ereshkigal; instead, she wanted to return to the place she had once fled from and learn about the child's situation.

Sajyou Ayaka left without telling anyone; only Richard I knew she was leaving.

Richard I stood quietly on the rooftop of a tall building, watching her figure slowly disappear into the distance.

I silently wished her well in my heart.

His relationship with Sajyou Ayaka was not that of Master and Servant; it was simply a symbiotic relationship where he relied on her magical power.

And he's leaving too.

This experience in the mortal realm allowed him to learn a great deal about King Arthur, enough for him to savor for a long time.

The Holy Grail?

Richard I was not particularly eager for the Holy Grail.

Especially after learning that Artoria had twice used Excalibur to destroy the Holy Grail, he was even less likely to touch it again.

What he longed for was never the Holy Grail, but rather the majestic figure of King Arthur.

He was very satisfied with this experience in the real world. If there was any regret, it was that he was unable to see King Arthur in person.

But that's enough; one shouldn't be so greedy.

Section 565, Chapter Fifty-One: Is there a problem with the Holy Grail?

Yuxian was somewhat surprised by Sajyou Ayaka and Richard I's sudden departure, but he didn't think much of it. Everyone's path is different; they simply chose their own way.

The group sat in the living room, Flat watched with curiosity as Berserker Jack, who had transformed into Little Jack, played with the children.

They probably never expected their Servant to have this side to them.

"Today is the last day of the Holy Grail War."

Yuxian said, "This farce is finally coming to an end, but it feels like it's been longer than a year."

He had absolutely no interest in events like the Holy Grail War; he'd rather spend that time at home playing games for seven days straight.

"The location where the Holy Grail was placed has not been found yet, and we don't know where it has been hidden."

To end this Holy Grail War, they must find a place to place the Holy Grail, but the group is currently completely clueless.

Unless we wait for the Holy Grail to reveal itself.

However, Yuxian did not want the Holy Grail to reveal itself, as that would be too passive, and who knew what unexpected changes might occur.

"There shouldn't be many Servant left now, right?"

Yuxian counted the departing Servant on his fingers.

Most of the Servant from this massive Holy Grail War have now left the stage, leaving only a handful remaining.

Moreover, he currently has two Masters by his side, Flat and Sigma.

"It's time to find the Holy Grail and settle things once and for all."

Yuxian said this.

Mash asked, "How are we going to find it? Snowfield so big, finding the Holy Grail must be very difficult."

Yuxian was also troubled by this. He didn't know where the mastermind behind this Holy Grail War would place the Holy Grail, which gave him a major headache.

This is a large city with a population of 800,000, so the location where the Holy Grail is placed must be extremely secretive.

"Ding-dong—!"

A text message notification sounded, Sigma took out his phone to check it, looking slightly surprised.

He raised his head and said calmly, "The location of the Holy Grail has been found..."

"Huh?" Yuxian blinked and looked at the boy who had been silent all along with a questioning gaze.

"Francesca has sent me the location of the Holy Grail."

Sigma turned on his phone and held it up to Yuxian's face.

Yuxian was stunned. This was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy, making him both curious and wary of Francesca's actions.

It's unclear what her purpose was in revealing the location of the Holy Grail to Sigma so abruptly.

However, even if it's a trap, Yuxian has no choice but to step into it; finding the Holy Grail is a very important matter.
