"Lancer, no... I actually know your name, Knight Diarmuid Audi, [Glory Appearance], right?"

Xingke did not directly answer Diarmait's question. It was not because he could not reveal his trump card or anything like that. He just felt that it was too troublesome to explain. He wanted to confess something to the spearman Diarmait as soon as possible.

Diarmait must have also reacted. He just lost his composure and made a rude act of directly questioning the opponent's trump cards.

It's just that the other party didn't seem to care about his temporary offense, so he had no choice but to use the other party's stairs to get off the stage:

"...Of course, when the abilities of these two sharp spears were released, I never thought about hiding my identity.

Isn't that the same for you? King Arthur. You have been using your full strength from the beginning, showing off your precious phantom..."

Diarmait's rhetorical question made Xingke feel a little embarrassed.

"Well, that's right. It's just that I deliberately showed off my strength..."

In this kind of game where everyone is trying their best to guess each other's identity, he deliberately shows the abilities and attributes that belong to another person, almost making everyone misunderstand that he is another person...

This is the [deception without a single lie] that only Xingke can use in this Holy Grail War. It is a very interesting game.

If Xingji could be more restrained, he might be able to cheat until the end. But unfortunately, there is no if.

"……deliberately?"

Diarmait didn't know what Xingke meant by "intentionally" and frowned for a moment, but Xingke quickly interrupted her to stop him from thinking:

"Well, yes, it's just [deliberate], but no matter what happens, brother Diarmuid, do you know? You are going to die here tonight."

Yes, Diarmait is a dead man, and there is no point in letting him know too much.

Although this is a ruthless and cruel fact, saying it so bluntly still makes Diarmuid feel a little lonely as a hero.

The corners of his eyebrows were slightly sunken, and the divine light in his eyes extinguished for a moment.

"...Yeah, maybe. It's not an exaggeration to say that the chance of me, Diarmait, defeating you is almost zero."

However, in the next moment, that glimmer of divine light turned into a more fanatical and violent red light that rekindled.

"So! My next battle will not be to defeat you, but to try my best to delay your time and fight to buy time for my lord!"

Taking a stance, two pointed spears, one red and one yellow, guarded both sides of Diarmait.

However, despite this seemingly fierce fighting stance, the steps on his feet were such that he could dodge and escape at any time.

You can retreat or advance, be cautious...you can tell at a glance that you are going to delay time.

However, Xingke shook the sword in his hand and said jokingly:

"Oh, Brother Diarmuid, you are really upright. If it is just to buy time, you don't have to fight at all. You just need to talk about some topics that interest me and attract my attention like you are doing now.

, what a simple thing.”

Yes, Diarmait had no need to chat with Xingke from the beginning, and there was no friendship between them. However, Diarmait took the initiative to find a topic and wanted to chat... The boy who seems to be an upright person is actually not that kind of person.

None of them are upright.

"You...since you have seen through my plan, why are you still talking to me on purpose?" Diarmuid asked: "Are you just watching your master in a very dangerous situation and don't care..."

"No, no, no, what are you talking about?"

Xingke shook his head repeatedly and interrupted Diarmait:

"The one who is in danger is your Master, okay? I don't think that my Lady Ellie will lose to Kenneth, the one who took advantage of her."

The calm and confident feeling in Xingji, coupled with the explosion that had just occurred in the castle, made Diarmuid feel as if cold water had been poured on his heart, and he was extremely sad.

Could it be that my monarch's ambition really ends here?

Thinking of this, Diarmuid, who was originally delaying the time, had no choice but to put down the spear in his hand, turned around a few times and made a fool of himself, then took up his posture again and said in a deep voice:

"...It's about to happen."

This time he was really going to start a fight. As the weaker party, he had not received instructions from his master for a long time, so he had no choice but to give it a try.

"Ah, are you finally getting anxious? Do you really want to stop chatting for a little longer? In fact, I quite like chatting about life and ideals with heroes all over the world, um..."

Before Xingke could finish speaking, Diarmuid stepped forward and tried to distance himself from Xingke.

Hoshikatsu was surprised for a moment, his chat was interrupted, and he had to symbolically dodge about a centimeter to the left... Emiya Kiritsugu, the governor, said that she didn't even dodge, so she must not be working hard.

However, just these ten centimeters perfectly avoided the probing blow from the glorious appearance of the heroic knight.

Then, using the momentum, Diarmuid crossed Xingke's body and rushed towards the castle. In just a moment, he burst out with a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and pulled out the afterimage...

"...Running away again? Are you so sure that I won't use my ultimate move towards the castle?!"

Xingke shook his head in displeasure, and took a step forward in Diarmait's direction. The next moment, he appeared in front of Diarmait, and in front of a large hole in the castle that was cut by some sharp blade.

"Sorry, Accelerator is here next!"

Xingji stood in front of Diarmait and said coolly:

"...I have wanted to say it again a long time ago, so refreshing."

But it is obvious that Diarmuid does not understand what Xingke is really saying, and his focus is no longer here.

"...Ability like space transfer?" Diarmuid looked at the sudden appearance of the star, smiled bitterly and said:

"With such mobility, coupled with that overwhelming strength, are you cheating?"

"You know too much. Now that you know all my secrets, you can leave!~"

As he spoke, Xingke raised his long sword, and a blade of light swung down. Diarmait hurriedly parried.

But……

【Click】

The severe pain from behind brought Dilm back to reality...

Xingji, who was swinging his sword in front of him a moment ago, is now standing behind him and sheathing his sword.

"I've been told that I can teleport. Do you know about the evolution of magic?"

Putting away the blade without a trace of blood on it, Xingji finally looked down at Diarmait who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood for the first time, and asked:

"Diarmuid, although this is only the second day of the Holy Grail War, and you are about to leave now, but let me ask you, has your wish come true?"

"Yeah...how should I put it...

To be able to die in front of my lord... I spent my last moment fulfilling my duty for my lord... To die due to lack of strength and regret... It's really... great..."

He was spitting some blood foam from his mouth. He had exhausted a lot of air but had less air in. He looked at Diarmait who was about to die. He looked up at the stars, but the corners of his mouth were raised...

"Really? That's really great..."

Xingke hesitated for a moment, thinking that Kenneth still had a command spell, and might disturb the injured to die or sleep peacefully. So she decided to draw out the long sword, and raised the sword in her hand.
