Chapter 13 The Opening Ceremony of the War

"You——"

    Jeanne looked a bit hesitant at this moment.

    "Miss Laeticia, if there is anything, just do it! Don't worry about me too much."

    Before the other party finished speaking, Sajyou Manaka made a considerate suggestion to the embarrassed Jeanne in front of him.

    "...Thank you very much."

    Jeanne hurriedly bowed and thanked her after hearing this, then looked at Sajyou Manaka with gratitude, turned around and quickly went to the place where the servants gathered.

    "..."

    Looking at Jeanne who was heading towards the dock warehouse area in the distance, Sajyou Manaka's expression suddenly became calm, making it difficult to understand what she was thinking now.

"Ncer, go and defeat the Saber that is emitting aura! But try not to use the Noble Phantasm. The show has just begun. It will be meaningless if the actors leave the stage quickly."

    Sajyou Manaka gently stirred the black tea in her hand with a spoon, and ordered Karna who suddenly appeared behind her in a calm tone.

    This is actually a very surprising scene. You know, the Ruler is the absolute manager who drives the normal operation of the Holy Grail War. For this, Jeanne was granted various special abilities. In addition to being able to use the divine judgment of the Command Spell twice for each servant, she can also easily see through the true names and intelligence of all servants, and even know the traces of servants within ten centimeters around her. Assass's "breath blocking" will also be ineffective against her.

    If Joan didn't realize the identity of Sajyou Manaka's lord, it can be said that she was careless, but in fact, she didn't even find the nearby Ncer.

    "Yes, Aster."

    Thinking of the girl who just left with the breath of a suspected heroic spirit, Karna could clearly perceive the difference in his lord's lord this time. However, Karna still had no idea of ​​disobeying his lord's orders.

"Ah! By the way, by the way, if the opponent's servant is too weak, it doesn't matter if he is killed."

    [I remember that Siegfried didn't seem to be that strong. ]

    After saying this to her servant, Manaka Sajyou slowly picked up the black tea in which she had put sugar cubes. In her opinion, perhaps this game called the Holy Grail War was not as important as the afternoon tea in her hand at the moment.

    "Follow your instructions."

    .........

    .........

    Port terminal area.

    "Although it feels a little wrong, you are the enemy this time! I am very sorry that I have to attack the lady."

    Seeing the Saint Girl who came first, the servant holding a big sword spoke first, and said with an apologetic tone.

It was a figure holding a magnificent and luxurious giant sword, his skin was slightly brown, and he was wearing half-body armor.

    The beautiful and dazzling golden hair of the person was tied into a ponytail, and fell on his back in a heroic manner. That posture could not help but make others admire him.

    She was also wearing a costume similar to armor, with a bright silver sword, and exuded a holy and awe-inspiring temperament.

    "I am the ruler who is responsible for supervising this Holy Grail War. I am not your enemy, nor am I a summoned servant,"

    When Jeanne heard what the silver-haired man in front of her said, she showed her identity and planned to avoid a meaningless battle.

"..."

    Kenneth, who was observing from a distance, suddenly remembered the news from the Clock Tower. After confirming the truth of the other party's words, he immediately ordered his servant.

    [Saber, stop it! That person is telling the truth. ]

    At this time, just when Siegfried felt a little embarrassed and didn't know whether to believe these words, the sudden order from the Lord of the Underworld made him give up the plan to be an enemy of the other party.

    "I'm sorry for my previous behavior.

    "Uh... No, no need. "

    Jeanne-dee had a few drops of sweat on her forehead, and looked at Siegfried with embarrassment as he apologized for no reason.

    Just when Jeanne-dee was about to exchange some information with the other party's lord and wanted to find out whether the other party knew what caused the world to be distorted, a gradually approaching magical breath interrupted her thoughts and words.

It was a powerful magic power like the rising sun, which was radiating recklessly. To the nearby servants, it looked like a small sun.

    "Is it coming?" A figure appeared in front of Siegfried's vision. Just as he stood in the middle of the road without any concealment, the other party also walked towards him with dignity.

    The clear and haze-free breath was like the sun shining on the earth at noon.

    Karna, wearing golden armor, looked at the other side with a calm and slightly cold look. His snow-white hair danced gently in the night sky. His strong and coordinated body seemed to be ready to go at any time, revealing an incomparable and magnificent feeling.

"Are you the target that Aster wants me to defeat?"

    [Isn't that the girl named Laeticia? ]

    Karna slowly scanned the opposite side, and when he saw Jeanne, his brows slightly wrinkled, and then he confirmed with Siegfried.

    At this moment, Karna had already obeyed the order of his lord and arrived at the destination.

    "..."

    "It was you who exuded that fighting spirit before! It seems that my target this time is you."

    After getting the confirmation of the opposite servant, Karna nodded and said clearly.

"By the way, although Aster just wants me to defeat you, and I can feel that your momentum and strength are not low, and your eyes make me feel familiar, but if you are not careful, I estimate that your Holy Grail War will end tonight."

    After Karna finished speaking, a huge spear suddenly appeared in his hand. The length of that thing is far longer than the height of the young man, so big that it is hard to imagine that it is a weapon used by humans, and its exquisite shape can be called art. This is the weapon "given by God", and there is no other pale words to describe it.

"I'm sorry, although I'm not strong, please save this for after you defeat me."

    After saying this, Siegfried, who had always been taciturn, swung the cursed holy sword in his hand.

    With an indomitable spirit and swordsmanship that had reached the realm of the inhuman.

    At the same time, as if they had agreed, Karna's divine spear also pierced through the atmosphere and broke the sound barrier at this moment.

    The sudden explosion of magic power from both sides was like an erupting deep-sea volcano, like flowing red lava, releasing incomparable heat there, and a storm of magic power blew up on the spot.

    The fierce intersection of sword and spear turned the air, dust, fallen leaves, and all kinds of things around into dust.
