“—She will die. They were already planning to extract the Holy Grail from her once it had made some growth and when their research had advanced. If the possessor dies, the Longinus will move onto the next host. In order to stop that from happening, they can extract the Sacred Gear from her and have it with them and use it without being concerned about having it disappear.”
Gasper breaks down on the floor after having Sensei tell him the truth.
“……N-No it can’t be, because Marius-san promised me that he would release her……and that he’ll allow her to go to Japan…… Were all of those things lies……?”
Rias embraces Gasper who has so many tears falling down from his eyes gently.
“You sure don’t find a despicable person like that so often. —I can only feel disgusted by him.”
Rias’s irises are filled with so much rage that it’s dangerous.
“Yes, as I thought, we need to save Valerie before the so-called release—”
Right before I was about to spit out my determination, a bright light shines from the window which even reaches inside the room.
It’s not morning. There’s still time till the sun rises.
We look out the window to check outside immediately.
—There is a huge wall of light that is covering the castle!
Is this……the light for a magic-circle?
Sensei clicks his tongue after seeing that.
“……So they made the first move! Most likely, the Carmilla faction’s move is already caught by them. They are planning to start the ritual to extract the Holy Grail at this time! This……has quite a lot of their own marks, but there’s no doubt it’s the mark which shows up when you try to take out the Longinus from the possessor!”
Damn it! So that bastard Marius has made his move already! If we don’t hurry, we won’t make it in time to save Valerie!
Elmenhilde then stands at the centre of the magic-circle that Bennia created which is connected to outside the castle.
“I will make my move together with my comrades from the outside. So all of you need to escape here immediately.”
Sensei then makes a sigh at Elmenhilde’s words.
“Are you still trying to avoid our intrusion in this matter even under this situation? There are also terrorists among the enemies. There’s no doubt that the Evil Dragons will appear, you know?”
Even under this situation, Elmenhilde makes a strong smile.
“Yes, the Vampires will solve the problem of Vampires—”
Elmenhilde closes her eyes after saying it till there.
“……That’s what I would like to say, but our Queen Carmilla has approved your help.”
She says that in a way as if dissatisfied about it. I don’t think we are in a situation where she has the leisure to approve of us or not……but they must have their own opinions and style. Though I feel like telling them that’s nonsense.
Elmenhilde then looks at Gasper.
“Gasper Vladi, do you wish to retrieve the Holy Grail, and Valerie Tepes?”
“Of course!”
Gasper answers like that without any pause. Elmenhilde makes a single nod upon hearing that.
