Chapter 741 - 14: Anomaly Zone—Gu Mo’s Travel Log

On the other side.Makoto Sakura, under the escort of Rider, arrived at the enormous underground cavern beneath Yuanzang Mountain.

Despite the unfamiliar environment, she felt no unease at all. She had no attachment to the familiar Makoto Family, so she just curiously observed the dark and deep atmosphere of the Dragon Cave, feeling the powerful magic power beneath her feet.

It was a very strange feeling, as she could perceive more information from it compared to ordinary mages.

Even though she couldn’t interpret it, she didn’t really understand why.

This was because she was also a Lesser Holy Grail. Though not as legitimate as Ilya, she indeed functioned as a "living Lesser Holy Grail."

"Hmph..."

As if waiting patiently, Ilya, who had been sitting quietly over there, couldn’t help but snort when she saw this pair of Master and Servant returning. She turned her head away, not even bothering to greet them. She somewhat disliked this girl, probably because her own shameful moment had been witnessed by her...

Remembering how she had bawled, sitting on the ground like an upset child, and how the girl had seen it all...

The silver-haired loli couldn’t help but feel her blood pressure rising a bit.

Although it was that person’s fault, now that person had given her an opportunity that seemed like it could only appear in a dream...

Such a dreamy and unrealistic possibility made her cling to it as tightly as a drowning person grasping the final straw. Ilya now couldn’t even bother seeking revenge against Emiya Kiritsugu; instead, she spent the entire day anxiously and patiently waiting here, how could she harbor any complaints?

But the memories of the embarrassing history and the emotions derived from those memories didn’t just disappear...

Naturally, all these were directed towards Makoto Sakura.

"Hey, Miss Ilya, you haven’t eaten anything today, right... I just bought this for you, not sure if it’s to your taste." The purple-haired girl approached, speaking happily as she took out a still-warm bento from her bag to hand to the delicate little girl.

On the way back, she heard from Rider about today’s incidents, and she heard that the three had been at the Dragon Cave the whole day, so she worried they might be hungry.

Even if a Servant wasn’t an ordinary person, they should eat something, right?

With this thought, and realizing it was too late to make something with her own hands, Makoto Sakura decisively bought bento on the road, preparing it for everyone.

"..."

"..."

The silver-haired loli was momentarily stunned, probably because the other’s smile was so sincere, full of brightness and vitality, and the handing-over motion was too natural. By the time she reacted, she had already reached out for the bento, and the purple-haired girl happily sat down beside her.

Her expression changed several times, and Ilya wanted to return it but didn’t know how to speak, ultimately muttering a shy "Th-thank you."

Rider watched the two, her gaze slightly comforting.

After being summoned by Makoto Sakura, she soon felt compassion for her Master. Now seeing that things seemed to be improving, she was naturally overjoyed... perhaps it was indeed not so bad? With this thought, Rider looked towards the direction of the Great Holy Grail.

"Um... where is senpai?"

Taking out the bento one by one from the bag, the purple-haired girl curiously scanned the surroundings.

"Over there. He went over this morning and hasn’t moved since..." Rider gestured towards the direction of the Great Holy Grail. Even with her eyes covered, her perception and grasp of the external environment far exceeded that of humans, allowing her to be more precise.

That mysterious Servant had been standing there the entire day.

If there weren’t still signs of life, she would almost think he might have died suddenly.

"Ah, not moving for so long... is it really okay?" Makoto Sakura was taken aback, then asked with a slightly concerned tone, gently pressing her face, looking a bit troubled.

"He should be fine, Master, and we can’t get close either; he’s reset all the magic techniques outside..." Medusa softly said, also feeling puzzled, wasn’t this Servant’s class supposed to be Berserker?

Why did it seem like there were no signs of madness, rational enough to demonstrate such advanced magic skill?

"That’s good then..."

Makoto Sakura nodded slightly, then turned her curious eyes towards the silver-haired loli beside her.

"Miss Ilya, speaking of senpai’s... ah, never mind, I was too rash."

Before finishing her question, the purple-haired girl seemed to realize her mistake and hastily interrupted herself, apologizing as she realized her curiosity. Suddenly, she remembered that knowing the true name and identity of a Heroic Spirit could easily make them a target.

Neither side had exchanged such information, probably a tacit understanding and sincerity?

Now she abruptly asked, it would seem like probing, so realizing her mistake, she quickly apologized, stating her question was unintentional.

Ilya initially didn’t understand but quickly realized what Makoto Sakura was trying to ask. She opened her mouth, suddenly recalling that she herself didn’t entirely know that guy’s name and identity either.
