Although they said they would 'talk', in reality, neither of them spoke.
Lancer didn't know what to talk about. In reality, the two had only known each other for a few hours. A simple conversation would probably turn into a 'cringey chat', right? In addition, Lancer was not very good at talking to women, so he was just frozen there without saying a word.
As for Jeanne ---
'Miss Jeanne, what should I say? If I directly ask about his identity, will he refuse?'
'Probably? Although my Ruler ability before told me that he is not a heroic spirit, the fact that he can use the power of a heroic spirit makes him very special. At least I have never heard of it. I'm afraid this is not something he can easily tell strangers like us, right?'
'Then what if I ask about that girl?'
'Uh... that's not good, is it? According to what Caster said in the end, didn't that girl die?'
'Then why don't we ask about the three cats? They are just three cats, but they actually also have the power of a 'heroic spirit'...'
'That should be fine, right?'
Although she also didn't say a word, the Leticia who was controlling this body at this time was actually communicating with Jeanne in her mind. It was only after she had decided what to say that she finally spoke.
"Mr. Lancer, can I ask you about your three cats?"
"Cats? You mean Jack and the others?"
He had originally thought that the other party would ask him about how he could use the power of a heroic spirit, but he never expected that it would be this.
'As expected, Jack and the others' charm is really great~'
"No problem. The one who always seems to not care about me is Jack. Of course, it's just that he seems to not care about me. You saw it before, right? He was the one who complained the longest in my arms. In reality, he looks cold, but in reality, he likes to act spoiled. The orange cat next to him is Tiger. He is the most indispensable one in our team, after all, he is the chef of the team. Without him, it would be difficult in the wild. The laziest-looking one is Aru, but he is very smart in battle. Perhaps this is because his weapon is an indiscriminate explosive bomb, right? He can often help us break the situation. I remember the last time we hunted the Great Jaggi..."
Leticia had originally planned to use the three cats as an opening to communicate with the other party, but she never expected that once Lancer started talking about the three cats, he couldn't stop. Even his originally pale face became a bit flushed because of his weakness.
But Leticia did not interrupt him and just sat there quietly listening.
With Lancer description, the images of the three cats also gradually formed in her mind, as well as the image of a person holding a long spear and hunting various monsters with the three cats.
However, what attracted her attention the most was the happy smile on Lancer face when he was talking about the one person and three cats.
'So even that murderous man can have an expression like that?'
This strange thought unconsciously appeared in her mind.
The negotiation with Kairi Shishigou was completed... no, to be more precise, she had told Kairi Shishigou her demands. After all, the other party's true identity was that of a mercenary, and he did not have the right to make decisions for his employer.
Kairi Shishigou was also quite satisfied with this, after all, his true mission was to --- stop the Yggdmillennia family.
As for using violence or negotiation, there were no explicit requirements. He even suspected that if he brought back the negotiation demands, the other party might actually increase his commission?
After all, the structure of the 'Clock Tower' was very special. Although it was a magus association, this association did not have much mandatory power. The number of magi who were directly under the Clock Tower was very limited. If the two sides were to truly go to war, then even if the magus association could win, what would be the price? And which family would bear this price?
There was no doubt that it would eventually turn into a wrangle.
And now, if there was a chance to solve it at the negotiation table, everyone would be happy, and the more important reason was that man who looked a bit weak.
Although he seemed to only be following behind Siegfried before, he was actually also paying attention to what was happening behind him. The matter of the 'Holy Grail' was the most important thing, but unfortunately, no matter how much that cute pink-haired heroic spirit asked, the other party did not tell her, so it was naturally impossible for him to know. But the only thing he could confirm was that the Yggdmillennia family had indeed obtained the Holy Grail.
Then what was the wish that the other party made after obtaining the Holy Grail?
The magus's long-cherished wish --- the Root?
Or something more simple and brutal, like strength?
Or was it a lost Age of Gods' magic?
To be honest, Kairi Shishigou couldn't guess, but he knew that as long as the owner of that Greater Grail still existed, the best choice was not to cause too much trouble for Yggdmillennia.
But just as he lowered his head and touched his chin to think about the problem, he noticed that the footsteps next to him suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? Saber."
"Nothing, I just saw a few shadows..."
As she spoke, her eyes looked in a certain direction, and then she saw three cats?
Kairi Shishigou had not expected to see these three cats. After all, before this, these three cats had been with that man who had obtained the Greater Grail.
'Although I still can't understand the cats' thoughts, this might be a breakthrough.'
He then took Mordred and followed them, and in the end, he actually found a secret passage that led to the underground of the Yggdmillennia castle.
If it were before, he might have been very excited, but now, he was nonchalant. Anyway, no matter whether he fought or not, it would not change the outcome. He only knew now that if he continued to follow them, it would probably cause an overreaction from Yggdmillennia.
"Saber, let's leave first... huh? Saber?!"
Kairi Shishigou was just about to call Mordred to leave when he found that Mordred had disappeared. His expression immediately became a bit ugly. He quickly prepared to use a Command Spell, but he quickly remembered one thing ---
According to that Ruler, these Command Spells were to be returned to her the next day, so it seemed he couldn't use them.
'This is a big problem. I'll go and inform the people of the Yggdmillennia family first. At least it proves that we don't have any malicious intentions.'
As for Mordred on the other side, she didn't have any bad intentions. She just thought that the three cats were a bit interesting and wanted to play with them.
Perhaps she was a ruthless killing knight in battle, but in her daily life, she was just a normal child. She always liked to do things on a whim. It was probably only Kairi Shishigou, who was also a coward, who could cooperate with her normally. If a normal Master were to summon a 'problem child' like her, they would probably be self-destructed directly, right?
