Hearing Artoria's sudden roar, Soji, who was planning to continue persuading her, was taken aback. However, she soon felt relieved.
It was good; she had rely made a casual remark, and Artoria's fighting spirit was already ignited. Soji didn't know the reason behind Artoria's strong animosity towards rlin, but she thought it was perfect. Tomorrow, she could rely on Artoria to defeat rlin, and then she would use the hidden explosives in the racing car to blow Artoria away.
In this way, she would defeat two enemies in one go. Soji nad this plan a win-win situation, a "I win twice!" No, she should call it "Qin Shi Huang touching an electric wire, Qin Shi Ma!" It might make her seem very devious, but since she had already thought of it, she couldn't turn back. How could she face herself after losing her dignity so shalessly?
It was sowhat similar to soone losing money in gambling and continuing to bet recklessly to pay off their debts. The reason was the sunk cost; they couldn't let go of what they had already lost. In Soji's case, she couldn't salvage her lost dignity, so that was her sunk cost. She could only continue down the path of losing her dignity recklessly!
"Very good, you look spirited!" Soji was pleasantly surprised, giving Artoria a big thumbs-up and rejoicing in her fervent battle spirit. "Rest assured, the racing car will be delivered to you tomorrow."
"Now, the only thing you need to focus on is how to defeat rlin in tomorrow's battle."
"No need to say more..." The red-eye effect gradually disappeared from Artoria's eyes, but her intent to kill rlin couldn't be hidden. Lowering her head to look at the sword in her hand, the Excalibur, which was now only a palm-length blade, she could almost be called a Dagger of Promised Victory. Artoria's anger towards rlin had reached its critical point.
"rlin, you shall et your end tomorrow noon!"
Artoria stood up, declaring rlin's death with a gaze full of killing intent.
In the Fuyuki hospital corridor, rlin suddenly felt an itch in his nose and couldn't help but sneeze.
"Ah, Ahh~" Walking in the corridor, rlin rubbed his slightly itchy nose and mused to himself, "Who's thinking of again? Am I really such a sinful handso man, attracting so many boys and girls?"
Hearing rlin's extrely narcissistic remark, Iris, who was walking beside him, couldn't help but poke fun with a skeptical expression, "Really, is there anyone thinking of you?"
"Of course! You should know that I'm a famous virtual YouTuber!" rlin replied, turning his head to look at Iris on his left and proudly pointing to himself with his thumbs up.
Iris was puzzled by the unfamiliar term, "Virtual YouTuber? What's that?"
"Well, it's like real people streaming with the identity of a paper-cut character," rlin pondered for a mont, not sure how to explain it properly. He decided to give a simple explanation to satisfy her curiosity, "Like , my channel is called MagiMari."
"You? A girl?"
"Well~ as long as I use a voice changer, no one would know I'm a guy. Especially my top fan, he gives a lot of donations every ti I stream!" rlin raised his head proudly. Whenever he boasted about fooling people with his cross-dressing and becoming the top Caster-class, he felt extrely satisfied.
Although that person was no longer at the top and had beco an ordinary person, did that matter? It didn't matter!
"Let tell you, I love being a virtual YouTuber," rlin exclaid.
Iris was sowhat surprised and covered her mouth with one hand, "Huh? Isn't that sothing only otakus like?"
"??? What are you saying!" rlin's expression changed instantly.
"Huh? Was that offensive? I heard people say that only otakus like guys who dress as girls. Since you like cross-dressing, you must be an otaku, right?"
Stopping in his tracks, rlin asked with a 'friendly' expression, "Who told you that?"
"Well, it was Kiritsugu who told . Since I've been staying in the castle, all the information from the outside world cos from Kiritsugu," Iris replied.
Upon hearing this, rlin nodded knowingly. So, it was his own Master who said that, huh? Just don't sleep too soundly, eh?
"Ah, Kiritsugu's room is right ahead." Iris had planned to continue the conversation, but upon seeing the familiar room number, she halted the discussion. Carrying the fruit basket, she hurried to the room and knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
After a mont, a slightly weary voice ca from inside the room, "Co in."
The door creaked open, and Iris entered, setting the fruit basket on the bedside table before taking a seat next to the bed. "Kiritsugu, I've co to chop you up."
Looking at Kiritsugu lying on the bed, wrapped up like a dumpling, with only his face uncovered, Iris couldn't help but feel distressed.
In truth, Kiritsugu didn't have such severe injuries originally. The reason for his current state was his reaction upon receiving the news that the Holy Grail War had ended from the Holy Church. He burst into tears, wailing loudly and uttering phrases like Baka Yaro,' with his actions being so intense that he triggered a diaphragmatic spasm. As a result, the bones that had just been set were broken again. The previous treatnts were almost in vain, and he ended up even more seriously injured than when he arrived at the hospital. It was quite tragic.
Since he couldn't move his head, Kiritsugu had to turn his eyes sideways to see his wife. "You're here, Iris."
rlin also approached, casually greeting, "I'm here too, Master~."
Seeing his Servant, Kiritsugu's mood, which had slightly improved upon seeing his wife, once again took a downturn.
