"Yes, Little Richard, you’re too excited. Morgan Le Fay is very easygoing~ She even went to that place called the shopping center a few days ago and bought a lot of things. I guess she sees this Holy Grail War as a honeymoon with her brother."
lusine said with a helpless expression.
As a dragon species, she was not very adapted to human society and did not understand why Morgan Le Fay and others were so enthusiastic about shopping.
Although she had heard that won liked it very much.
It can only be said that she couldn’t understand it.
Rather than shopping outside, she preferred to sleep in Moran’s arms.
Inside the fake world, in a residential area.
Ciel and Arcueid had reached a truce.
The reason was none other than the existence of "Mr. Black".
If the two won rashly started a war again because of their conflicts, it might provoke this guy’s reaction.
Judging from that huge aura of death, this guy was definitely not to be trifled with.
Now, Tsubaki was preparing a feast for Arcueid, Ciel, and the female assassin.
She and her parents were enthusiastically preparing dinner.
"Mr. Black", who exuded an aura of death, stood like a statue in the garden next to the house.
He watched Tsubaki with unparalleled calmness.
Like a guardian in the dark.
He had already accepted Arcueid and the others as guests, so he would not take any hostile attitude.
"That guy is really bad news. Even dealing with him is a bit tricky for ... After all, this guy is like a servant of the planet. I really don’t understand how sothing like this was summoned."
Arcueid’s expression was quite helpless.
As an executor of the Holy Church, Ciel understood when she sensed the aura of that black mass.
It was undoubtedly the Pale Rider, symbolizing death.
One of the Four Horsen of the Apocalypse in the Bible.
In terms of specifications, as a servant of the planet, it was almost on par with Arcueid, a darling of the planet.
It wouldn’t be strange if it was even a level higher.
If she faced the Pale Rider head-on, even Arcueid wouldn’t gain any advantage.
However, this usually doesn’t happen.
Because whether it’s a servant of the planet or a darling of the planet, they are both part of the planet itself.
It’s like, would a thigh fight with a right hand?
Arcueid and the Pale Rider have such a relationship.
They are both "part" of the planet.
"Eh, Arcueid, can’t you handle it?"
Ciel showed a rather surprised expression.
As if she had seen sothing rare.
"Hmph, who said I can’t handle it? I’m not on the sa level as this machine. Servants of the planet are essentially dull things. If you tell them to go east, they’ll go straight ahead, and they won’t turn their heads even if the planet is destroyed. Hmph, I’m different. I can go wherever I want. It’s a fundantal difference!"
Arcueid proudly put her hands on her hips.
Hearing this, Ciel also grasped so information.
Afterward, she tried to explore the surroundings to understand the situation.
On the way, Ciel found several pedestrians on the road in the residential area.
But without exception, they were all like Tsubaki’s parents, looking dull and ntally controlled.
Then, to confirm Arcueid’s information.
Ciel spoke to Tsubaki’s father.
That is, Yuukaku Kuruoka.
"Mr. Kuruoka, I saw you in the church’s information. I know you are a mber of the Holy Grail War preparation committee..."
"Oh, I knew it when I saw your equipnt. You are an executor of the Holy Church, right? Coming to Snowfield City, it seems you want to intervene in the Holy Grail War as a supervisor? I did prepare to participate in the Holy Grail War... But I have changed my mind and have already conveyed it. I don’t have ti to participate in the Holy Grail War now. If you want to help, I’m sorry..."
"I’m not asking about that. More than that, I want to ask you about the current situation."
As soone who often uses suggestion, Ciel was very aware of its limitations.
Generally, this type of ntal control can only set a few rules and then make the victims follow them.
For example, not allowing the victim to say no.
Then the victim will never refuse others, and they themselves will not be able to realize this.
On the contrary, they will find reasons to justify themselves.
Suggestion and hypnosis are very similar.
But the degree of suggestion varies from person to person. Yuukaku Kuruoka was already completely dominated.
His mind completely followed the suggestion to act.
So, Ciel planned to ask a few outrageous questions to test the bottom line of Yuukaku Kuruoka in this state.
It’s best to use more ambiguous questions.
This will better test it.
As Ciel expected, if the Pale Rider intended to do sothing, it would definitely hide its true purpose.
It would never let the puppet controlled by suggestion speak.
However—
"Okay, the thing is, according to my judgnt, this world is a bounded field created by the master to protect the lovely Tsubaki. Although this is not my area of expertise, I think it should be a kind of Reality Marble."
"...?"
Ciel showed a surprised expression.
She never expected Yuukaku Kuruoka to reveal the answer without any prevarication.
Not a bit of a riddle.
The Pale Rider didn’t intend to hide it at all?
No, that’s not right. Arcueid just said...
Servants of the planet don’t have a roundabout way of thinking. Maybe the other party really doesn’t have that idea...
Before Ciel could continue to think about it.
Yuukaku Kuruoka continued:
"Tsubaki’s Servant is likely a conceptualization of sothing.
I judge it to be the intentional personification of concepts like death, nothingness, or disease.
It should be considered a kind of folk magecraft that turns intangible phenona into conscious existences, giving them form and dealing with them on a spiritual level...
However, considering that Servant’s power, I think it may have originally been a widespread and well-known existence. A thorough investigation should reveal its true form.
But I have withdrawn from the Holy Grail War and now only want to live peacefully with my daughter, so I don’t have the ti to spare for such things."
