The atmosphere in the mansion was depressing.
Everyone was watching Ilya, waiting for her to make a decision.
Bagster, who was a fairy, frowned.
She wanted to speak up and rescue the girl in Ilya's place. However, Jiang Shang's gaze dispelled the thought in his heart.
This was Ilya's choice…
No one should interfere. Ilya should make her own decision.
"I..."
"I want to help her…"
"But... I don't know what to do…"
Ilya's eyes were filled with tears. Her big eyes were filled with hope as she looked at Jiang Shang pitifully.
She was only ten years old, so she couldn't consider everything like an adult.
For something as big as a rescue, the outcome of a slight carelessness could be imagined.
"The castle of Ainsberg isn't as difficult to break as you think.”
"The troublesome one is Ainsberg, the follower he summoned, King Arthur.”
"However…"
"In a few days, the legendary King Arthur will arrive in Winterwood City.”
"At that time, Ainsberg Castle will be at its weakest.”
"When the time comes, I can use the avatar technique and the Five Elements escape technique to bring you there.”
Jiang Shang smiled faintly and spoke of his strategy.
"But…"
"I'm not familiar with the terrain. How can I find Ilya?”
Ilya frowned and asked another question.
"This is simple…"
" I'll control my clone and use the 'Soul Searching Spell' on the enemy…"
" Find Ilya's exact whereabouts from the enemy's memories.”
"But…"
"The avatar technique is not like the main body. It does not have an especially strong combat ability…"
"I can only act as a support. Thus, I can only entrust you with the task of breaking out of the encirclement and fighting.”
Jiang Shang raised his hand and rubbed Ilya's little head lovingly.
He liked gentle and strong children.
If…
This was Ilya's choice. He did not recommend helping this girl.
After all...
Saving Ilya was also part of his plan…
If the Ilya of this world could be used as a bargaining chip to coerce 'Emiya Qichitsu'.
That would be great…
"Yes!"
"I will definitely save the Ilya of this world!”
"I will rewrite her unfair fate!”
Ilya clenched her fists seriously and promised with a fighting spirit.
"Humph!"
"This is what a 'magical girl' looks like!”
"I-Li-Ya-Chan!"
" Magic Ruby ", which was floating beside Ilya, said energetically.
"Lord Ilya, I will do my best to assist you when the time comes.”
After being strengthened by Morgan, the " Magic Sapphire " that had become abnormally obedient encouraged him.
"Mm!"
The innocent expression on Ilya's face became even cuter at this moment.
Jiantong Yanye stood up from the ground and lowered his head in shame.
He had also heard a lot of information from Jiang Shang's words.
'I'm afraid…'
In that world without Jiang Shang, his and Xiao Ying's situation wouldn't be any better.
After realizing this…
Jiantong Yanye's respect for Jiang Shang rose to a new height as he recommended himself.
"Lord Jiang Shang, let me go with you.”
"Although my aptitude isn't high, I managed to learn a lot of magic tricks in a year.”
Yan Ye pleaded sincerely.
He sincerely wanted to help that poor girl.
but...
However, Jiang Shang rejected his request.
"No…"
"It's better for you to stay in the Mikito family and protect Sakura.”
"After all…"
"What if the enemy learns from us to 'steal home'…"
"When Bagster enters battle form, he doesn't have time to take care of a child.”
Jiang Shang patted Yan Ye's shoulder and gave him another mission.
"I understand…"
Yan Ye replied solemnly. He knew very well that Jiang Shang was protecting him.
After all...
As a half-baked Magician, he was still too weak.
In a proper battle, if one was not careful, they would only become a burden.
Instead of doing this, it was better to stay obediently in the Jiantong family and protect the people around him.
"Go and rest…"
After arranging the tasks, Jiang Shang waved his sleeve, indicating that everyone could go back and rest.
He watched Yan Ye and Ilya leave.
Then, he signaled for Joan, who was still in her spirit form, to return to her physical form.
"Joan of Arc…"
"When the time comes, come with me…"
"I'll control my clone and work with Ilya to launch a frontal assault.”
" Your mission is to sneak into 'Ainsberg' during the chaos, find the castle's terminal, and then shut it down…"
" As long as the program of 'Ahad' stops functioning, the Holy Grail War can be completely ended from the very beginning.”
It was only after Ilya left that Jiang Shang revealed the " true purpose " of the raid.
"The castle's terminal..."
"Please rest assured, I promise to complete the mission…"
Joan replied with a serious expression.
Jiang Shang's solution was obviously the most feasible.
"That's it…"
"It's getting late. All of you should go and rest…"
Jiang Shang gestured to everyone.
Especially Bagster, who was looking forward to the breakfast that the female fairy knight had prepared for him.
After obtaining permission…
Bagster and Habelmeow walked towards the second floor together.
The Jiantong family did not lack anything but people.
As a result, many of the empty houses were unoccupied and looked deserted.
Jiang Shang lazily stretched his body. He yawned with a hint of tiredness on his face.
Too many things had happened tonight…
It had been a long time since he had been as active as tonight…
He was prepared to have a good sleep and wake up naturally tomorrow!
But...
Just as he was about to say goodbye to Joan and return to his room, Joan grabbed his clothes.
"That…"
"I... I see that you're a little tired..."
"I just learned some massage techniques. Let me help you relax.”
Joan said in embarrassment.
After a year of interaction…
Joan of Arc and Jiang Shang had become close friends who talked about everything.
The two of them had a " righteous " premise, and this pure friendship was not mixed with any strange feelings.
However, sometimes, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them seemed to be more intimate than lovers.
"Is that so…"
"Then let me enjoy myself.”
Jiang Shang immediately perked up when he heard that there were free benefits.
then...
He happily made a decision that he regretted for a long time…
