052 If no one wants it, I’ll take it. (Ch 052)

“Ahh…!?”

Lancer screamed and raised his body with an expression of disbelief.

Under the absolute force of the Command Spell, long-lost memories flooded into his brain.

That was the dark seal that he was most reluctant to touch.

Before his death, he went out hunting with his lord, but due to a mistake in the choice of weapons, he was seriously injured in a battle with a demon pig.

Although it was a fatal injury with no cure, he did not despair.

Finn MacCool, the lord to whom Diarmuid is proud and to whom he swears allegiance .

He is a great hero who has undertaken many great undertakings and created countless miracles since his youth.

Finn, who is famous for his spearmanship and healing powers, could have easily healed Diarmuid’s injuries.

However, betrayed. 3

Betrayed.

Betrayal, betrayal, betrayal, betrayal, betrayal, betrayal!!

Facing the dying loyal knight, the old hero’s mind is filled with jealousy and anger because they once fought for the same woman .

In the end, Diarmuid died because he did not receive timely treatment.

What killed him was not the many malicious curses (Geis) such as “cannot refuse friends’ invitations”, “cannot hunt demon pigs” and “destined to be killed by demon pigs”.

It is not his younger brother who has reincarnated as a demon pig and comes to take his life.

It was to the Lord to whom he swore all his loyalty!

It was a murder he had carefully planned from the beginning!

“Ah…ah…”

Lancer fell to his knees, tears of blood dripping onto the crimson carpet.

The chivalry that he regarded as more noble than life was not worth mentioning in their eyes and was trampled upon wantonly.

“Unforgivable… absolutely unforgivable…”

The knight no longer wailed or screamed, but just repeated curses, with two red tears flowing from his wide eyes.

Just like that, only the last stroke of the Command Seal remained in Kenneth’s hand.

Considering that in future operations he must retain at least one Command Seal to avoid betrayal by his Servant, Kenneth actually has no Command Seals to use.

However, the magus with a stern expression raised his arm for the third time, as if to use up his last Master privileges.

“Lancer, take off your hypocritical mask and let me see your ugly true face!!”

Kenneth ordered.

But this time, the back of his hand did not emit a red light.

Instead, the three-base magic furnace in the room emitted a dazzling white light.

The surging magic power gushed out from the magic furnace and flowed all into Lancer’s body.

What is surprising is the next scene.

The moment it came into contact with Lancer, the huge and turbulent torrent of energy immediately underwent a terrifying transformation of magical power.

Pure white transforms chaotic black.

Rather than saying that Lancer was bathed in turbid magic, it would be better to say that Lancer himself polluted the pure magic of the “stone”.

The spiritual base of Diarmuid Odinar is undergoing a horrible deformation.

Although being divided into three parts has greatly reduced its output, the magic core is still correctly performing its original function.

As a collection of magical power from the Age of Gods and a pseudo-wish-granting machine, it responds to the darkness deep within Lancer’s heart.

When it was all over, the proudest knight of the Fianna Order, the glorious and handsome man had disappeared anywhere.

Appearing there——

He is a dark demon who holds a red magic sword and a red magic spear, and is covered in cursed animal skin.

…

…

An hour had passed since Shirou remained motionless in the room.

Only when he was sure that Kayneth and the demon Diarmuid had completely left did he appear from behind the curtain.

The three-base furnace core that originally contained enormous magical power has fallen into a deep sleep and now looks like three ordinary shaped stones.

As a wish-granting machine, it may not resume operation until the end of the Holy Grail War.

In that case, there was no point in Shirou destroying it.

In this case, Shirou has second thoughts about it.

Okay, pack it up and take it away.

Mr. Kenneth, let me recycle this creation that has only magic but lacks beauty for you.

“…Hey.”

Shirou hugged the stone that looked like a body, exerted force on his waist, but he only lifted it up for half a second before putting it back on the carpet.

So… so heavy.

It was still too much for him at the age of 8.

Although it is easy to take it away, it is difficult to escape quietly from this hotel that has been transformed into a different world.

Shirou pulled out a small communicator and contacted Hassan the Hundred Faces.

Although an airtight detection barrier has been set up nearby, there is no defense against radio waves at all. This is the limitation of a magician.

An hour and a half later, Sister Assassin appeared on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel, accompanied by Loli Hassan.

After seeing Shirou wearing a bone mask, Loli Hassan followed suit and covered her face with the mask in her hair.

Shirou pulled Hassan the Hundred Faces aside and asked in a low voice: Why are you bringing a burden with you to work?

“You think I want to?”

Assassin angrily said that it was this kid who was clamoring to see Shirou.

“No, then you spoil her too much, don’t you?”

After Shirou muttered this, Hassan the Hundred Faces glared at him fiercely.

Finally, Hassan the Hundred Faces was responsible for carrying the “carcass”, Shirou was responsible for carrying the “wings”, and Loli Hassan was responsible for carrying the “heart”.

The three of them successfully brought the stone out of Lord El-Melloi’s magic workshop.

…

…

Because three people plus three stones were too conspicuous, in order to avoid being seen, Shirou did not go home directly but lurked nearby.

Recently someone has been complaining that Shirou stays out late and it’s hard to see him every day, but there’s nothing that can be done about it.

The Holy Grail War will last for two weeks at most, so please be patient during these two weeks, Sister Fuji.

It was seven o’clock in the evening, and the servants might have been ready to start the fight, so Shirou and the other two sneaked back into the Amemiya residence.

The stolen magic core was temporarily placed in another building.

“Then I’ll leave first. It would be terrible if the Master found out that I was acting suspiciously.”

When Hassan the Hundred Faces was about to leave holding Hassan the Loli’s hand, Shirou suggested that they stay for a cup of tea and exchange information.

After a moment’s thought, she agreed.

“Tousaka Tokiomi is obviously getting anxious because he can’t determine the seventh Servant’s class, and is now searching the entire Fuyuki area like crazy… Shirou, are you listening?”

“I’m listening. I’m listening.”

Shirou and Loli Hassan left Hassan the Hundred Faces behind and sat in front of the TV to watch a late night magical girl anime.

Seeing the red-haired boy’s fully engaged look, Hassan the Hundred Faces sighed helplessly:

“Kotomine Kirei ordered me to search the houses around the Miyama-cho shopping street more carefully.

When I was delivering the mission, I avoided the area near your home.

Having said that, you still have to be careful to avoid being discovered, or I will die with you.”

“Well, thank you, Sister Assassin.” Shirou said happily.

At this time, the TV suddenly interrupted with news about a large-scale gas leak in many places in Fuyuki .

“That’s what should be done.”

Hassan the Hundred Faces thought for a moment and said:

“In addition, something unexpected happened last night.

Kotomine Kirei ordered “us” to follow Einzbe who left the warehouse district… Uh, what’s wrong with you?”

Hassan the Hundred Faces was startled.

For some reason, Shirou appeared in front of her, sitting upright, so fast that even Assassin couldn’t react for a moment.

The boy placed his hands on his knees, his expression extremely serious and solemn.

“What happened to Einzbern? Please tell me.”
