"Hey, isn't this Caster?”
After leaving the hotel, Aske met Rider and his master, the burly man who had introduced himself on the first night.
Asker ignored them. He had not expected to encounter them on the street.
The seven masters summoned seven followers to fight for seven days. Including the helpers, there were only about twenty people. Moreover, the Holy Grail War was carried out at night. The probability of such a small number of people meeting during the day was very small.
Suddenly, he felt that Fuyuki was really small.
"Don't be so cold, Caster.”
Seeing that Asker was ignoring him, Rider didn't get angry. He dragged Wilbur along and followed.
He was indeed dragging him. Wilbur's tiny body was no different from luggage in front of him.
Rider's huge body attracted a lot of attention. It was like a gorilla running out of a zoo, which made Aske feel a little uncomfortable.
"Wait, Rider! Let me go!"
Wilbur was unhappy that Rider was grabbing him like a chick.
However, Rider ignored him.
"We were just about to look for you."
"Looking for me?"
Asker stopped in his tracks, interested in Rider's words.
"Ah, I'm going to hold a banquet and invite all the heroes to gather. How about it?”
"Who else did you invite?"
Although Asker was not a hero, he was still somewhat interested.
"You're the first, but I'm going to invite that glittering guy.”
Hero King Gilgamesh?
'It saves me the trouble of looking for him.'
"Sure, the venue will be the castle of the Ainsberg family.”
"Of course not!"
"Then what about the wine? There should naturally be good wine at the banquet.”
"Oh! I will take care of this. I will search for the best wine on the market. Don't worry, Caster.”
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
"I'm going to collect some good wine too! See you tonight! Caster!”
After saying that, Rider grabbed Wilbur and left.
Aske was walking alone on the street with a smirk on his face. If anyone saw him, they would definitely think that he was up to no good.
"Then I need to prepare as well.”
After meeting with Rider, Aske strolled around alone for a while and met an unexpected person. After chatting for a while, it was already afternoon. Aske quickly rushed back to Ainsbergen.
Instead of meeting Saber, he went straight to Sakura's room.
When he entered, he found that Xiao Ying was still sleeping. However, he could tell at a glance that Xiao Ying was faking her sleep.
In fact, Xiao Ying had already woken up a long time ago, but she refused to open her eyes. She did not feel any movement in the room, which meant that Aske was not by her side. Therefore, she still closed her eyes tightly, hoping to see Aske when she opened her eyes.
It was only when Aske walked to Xiao Ying's side and felt a familiar aura that Xiao Ying slowly opened her eyes.
"See, Xiao Ying, big brother didn't go back on his word.”
"Yes."
Xiao Ying didn't expose him. As long as Aske was back, everything else didn't matter.
A faint smile hung on his face, but it made Aske's heart tighten and he was filled with guilt.
He gently carried Xiao Ying and sat up. He sat by the bed and stroked Xiao Ying's hair, looking at her gently.
" Does Xiao Ying know about the Holy Grail War?"
As the second daughter of the famous magic family, how could she not know what a stupid question it was?
"Yes."
"Actually, I'm a follower."
It was still a stupid question. Sakura of the Kirito family had seen everything that had happened up close. How could it be an ordinary person who could cause such a commotion?
"I know, brother."
However, the two questions above did pave the way for the following words.
"Then, is Xiao Ying willing to sign a contract and become big brother's master?”
"Brother's master?"
Xiao Ying, who was originally calm, felt waves in her heart. If she could become her brother's master, she would be able to have a connection with her brother.
"Yes, Xiao Ying is not willing.”
"I'm willing!"
Without thinking, she answered Asker. To be able to deepen the bond with Asker was exactly what Xiao Ying had been praying for.
"Then let's sign the contract in a while. He had not eaten anything from last night to this afternoon. His body must be exhausted.”
"It's okay, brother."
Although she said that, her pale face and weak tone exposed her.
"Don't force yourself. If you don't replenish your nutrients, you won't be able to sign the contract later.”
When Xiao Ying heard this, she hurriedly got off the bed.
"I know, brother."
"Then I'll leave first. I'll come back later. The food will be sent in by the servants.”
"Okay, big brother."
He left Sakura's room and went to the ward of Amiya Tetsuki.
Alisfall was still by his side. At this time, he had already woken up, and the ward was no longer a good place to talk.
Seeing Aske walk in, Weigong Qiesi was silent, but there was a trace of gratitude on his face.
"Allie, can you come out for a moment?"
Alisfall turned to look at Amiya Qichitsu. Seeing him nod, she got up and followed Aske out.
"Thank you, Caster.”
Aske, who was about to walk out, paused for a moment when he heard the gratitude of Amiya Qieti. He turned around and smiled.
"No, it's nothing."
He closed the door, but it wasn't soundproof. Asker brought Alisfall to a quiet place to ensure that no one else could hear him. Then, he looked at Alisfall.
She looked very haggard. It was obvious that she had not rested well in order to take care of Weigong Qieti. Moreover, Weigong Qieti's serious injury was a huge blow to her.
"How is Wei Gong Qiesi?"
"Thank you, Aske. Qiesi told me everything.”
Even though she didn't look too good, Alistair still forced a smile.
Evidently, Weigong Qiesi had told her that Aske had saved him.
"You don't have to thank me. After all, we're allies, and he's your husband, isn't he?”
Alisfell smiled slightly, and a warmth flowed through her heart. She felt that summoning Asker was the right thing to do.
"But I still have to thank you, Aske. If not for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see Qiesi again.”
"Alright, Allie, but I have a request.”
"What request? No matter what it is, just say it. After all, you are Qiesi's savior.”
Asker didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned the topic to Alisfell.
"Allie, you were made into a small holy grail in order to make the Great Sage Cup appear. When a follower is defeated, the soul will return to the small holy grail, which is also your body.”
"And when the number of souls reaches a certain amount, which is when more than half of the followers die, the small holy grail will slowly begin to exercise its functions.”
" In the end, when the souls of the six followers return to the Small Holy Grail, the path to the source will be opened. At that time, the personality of 'Alice' will probably no longer exist.”
Elisfall listened to Asker's words and gradually understood what he meant. Even though she had only been created for a few years, she was still a child according to her age. She also understood Asker's request.
"I hope you can cancel the contract between us.”
