Diarmuid lowered his head and replied.
A similar thing was happening on Yuuki Asuna's side.
"Wow, I'm sorry, Asuna. It's all my fault for being so useless."
Okita Souji lay in the arms of Yuuki Asuna, confessing with a heavy rain of pear blossoms.
"Okay, okay, you've tried hard, it's okay."
Yuuki Asuna gently stroked her back and spoke soothingly.
"But, but you always took first place, and I'm last...waa ...
"That was just given to me by everyone. Otherwise, with my level, there's no way I could have gotten first place. I'm already very satisfied with what I have now. It doesn't matter."
"But what should we do in the final battle? Ms. Okita, I'm so unreliable, everyone will definitely come against us, after all, we have so many points."
“This is indeed a big problem…”
Yuuki Asuna also started to have a headache.
Although their group is now ranked second, after two games, everyone already knows that their group's overall strength is the weakest.
But they have so many points, which makes them a big piece of fat meat in the eyes of other groups.
Therefore, it is inevitable that they will be the focus of attention by each group next.
"We have to think of a solution quickly."
Yuuki Asuna thought to herself.
Even though Yuuki Asuna doesn't care about winning or losing, she doesn't want to lose so ugly.
Meanwhile, the situation in other groups was similar.
Except for Flora who didn't care at all, and the Nakiri Alice group who were just having fun.
Emiya Kiritsugu's team, Weber's team, and Megumin's team were also thinking about the strategies and tactics for the final battle.
The final battle did not start immediately, giving the seven groups of players enough time to rest.
The girls who came back from the Dimension City acted as operations staff and prepared food and recovery supplies for the players.
“Not as good as yours, but still very good.”
Altria gave this comment after finishing lunch.
Knowing that all of Altria's members were big eaters, Su Mo naturally put a lot of effort into this aspect. During the few days of waiting, all of Altria's food was prepared by him personally.
Otherwise, Altria wouldn't always be willing to give him benefits.
Although Altria doesn't know much about this matter, she is not without common sense.
It was not appropriate for her to dress like that in front of the opposite sex. If Su Mo had not tempted her with delicious food, she would not even have changed into the bunny costume to show Su Mo.
When Su Mo heard Altria's evaluation, he took the opportunity to say, "Want to eat these delicacies all the time? If you want, just come to my dimensional city."
Upon hearing this, Altria glanced at Su Mo and did not answer.
She had heard this kind of thing many times that day, but she was not so stunned by the sight of delicious food.
Seeing this, Su Mo was not discouraged.
Anyway, as long as he doesn't cancel the summons, Artoria will have to follow him all the time, and he will have plenty of time to slowly conquer her. But he won't touch her until Artoria gets her body back.
After lunch, the game continued.
The site changed again, the space was expanded, and some stone forests and various buildings rose up, simulating forests, towns and plains to form a complex terrain, like a small island.
“This is the battlefield for the third and final points battle. Everyone already knows the basic rules. What needs to be supplemented next are some details.
First of all, the rules. The flight restrictions have been lifted and players can move around freely within the competition venue, but they still cannot kill anyone.
At the same time, the initial location is selectable.
You can choose a starting location on the map.
The game will start when everyone is in place at the starting location.
The location selection is kept secret by the referee, so after the start no one will know where others are and will need to search on their own.
Of course, if you choose an empty starting location to expose yourself, that's also fine. It depends on your choice.
The competition time limit is four hours, and the points for grabbing and defending must be kept until the end of the competition time to be calculated as the result. "
"The above are the detailed rules of the points battle. Do you all understand?"
Nero gathered everyone together and once again acted as host, introducing them.
Everyone nodded to show that they understood.
Then, he started looking at the map, selected the starting location, wrote it on a small piece of paper and handed it to the referee, Altria, and received the points flag.
The points flag is a small flag the size of a palm, inserted on a strap, which will not hinder movement and is easier to keep.
At the same time, in order to avoid hiding the balloon in the second game, the score flag must be inserted on the strap, otherwise it will not be counted as a score.
After the seven groups had chosen their starting locations, Altria gave Su Mo the notes with the starting locations written on them.
Su Mo took a look, waved his hand and started teleportation magic under the feet of the seven groups of people, teleporting them all to the corresponding locations.
"The final, the points battle, begins now!"
Altria's voice spread throughout the arena, and the seven groups of people received the start command and began to move.
Or rather, a fight broke out.
Unfortunately, the starting location of the Kenneth group almost overlaps with the starting location of the Huihui group.
In a group of buildings where it was easy to hide, two groups of people landed in two adjacent houses.
Kenneth was planning to set up a magic workshop here, build the base first, and then proceed steadily.
As for Huihui, since she was ranked last in points, she planned to take the initiative.
She chose this place because she wanted to wait for Yuuki Asuna's team.
Because in her opinion, there is a high probability that Yuuki Asuna will be self-aware enough to choose to hide away.
Following her idea, Arash analyzed and felt that this building area was the easiest place to hide people, so Huihui chose this place.
As a result, the two sides met by coincidence.
Arash and Diarmuid both discovered each other at the first moment and quickly reminded Huihui and Kayneth.
"Tsk, what bad luck, Lancer, let's retreat."
Kenneth's face changed and he prepared to avoid the fight.
He doesn't have the time to bother with Huihui, he still has to grab more points.
Huihui's group is ranked last in points, so not only will there not be much benefit from winning, but it will also be a tough nut to crack.
Instead of wasting time on dealing with Huihui's group, he might as well go look for the three groups of Emiya Kiritsugu, Yuuki Asuna, and Nakiri Alice.
"Want to escape? No way! Arash, leave them behind!"
When Huihui heard that Kenneth wanted to withdraw, there was no way she could let him do as he wished.
The account from the first game (bjeb) has not been settled yet!
Moreover, unlike Kenneth who looked down on her points, Huihui, who was the last one, was now extremely vicious and wanted to snatch points from anyone she saw.
So, as soon as Kenneth and Diarmuid walked out of the house, Arash's arrows shot towards them.
Huihui followed closely behind, releasing multiple small magic spells, and a barrage of bullets attacked the two of them.
"Lancer! Accept the challenge!"
Seeing that he couldn't retreat, Kenneth had no choice but to fight.
He wore a sling across his body, controlling the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to form a sphere of absolute defense, and huddled on the spot to protect himself, allowing Diarmuid to go ahead and fight.
Upon seeing this, Diarmuid didn't hesitate and picked up two brushes, rushing towards Arash with a sling, facing the arrows and magic head-on.
"Let's settle the second round's score!"
"Tsk!"
Arash saw that Diarmuid was coming at him fiercely, but because the distance was too close and Huihui was there, he did not dare to confront him head-on. He quickly picked up Huihui and quickly retreated to keep some distance.
The fighting has already begun on this side, and there has been progress on the other side.
In the open space next to the construction area, Iskandar summoned a chariot, took off with Weber, and began to search for the enemy.
Not long after walking, they found Flora and Vlad III, who were also not hiding their tracks at all, at the junction of the open space and the building area.
Iskandar drove his chariot into it without saying a word.
On the other side of Shilin, Yuuki Asuna and Okita Souji also met Nakiri Alice and Nero.
The former chose this side because he felt that the stone forest terrain was more suitable for his own battles, could restrain Iskandar's chariots, and was easier to advance and retreat.
The latter are selected randomly.
Alice Nakiri and Nero don't care about winning or losing, they just want to have fun.
Therefore, Nero didn't even take advantage of Caster to set up his position.
However, when they met, they did not fight.
"Wait, Alice, let's form an alliance."
Yuuki Asuna was about to trick Alice Nakiri into forming an alliance with her, but Alice Nakiri nodded without even thinking: "Okay."
"We can...ah? You agree now?"
Yuuki Asuna was halfway through her nonsense when she froze, and Okita Souji was also stunned.
"Yes, it's just an alliance, no problem, I agree."
Alice Nakiri came over with a giggle, stretched out her hands and rubbed Yuuki Asuna's stunned face.
"We are talking to each other, is there any need to talk so much nonsense to form an alliance?"
Given her relationship with Yuuki Asuna, there's no need for any deception. As long as you ask, she won't refuse to help if she can.
Yuuki Asuna finally came back to her senses and nodded: "Okay."
The alliance was finalized in this way.
Nero and Okita Souji, seeing how good the relationship between the two masters was, also accepted the idea of forming an alliance.
Then, the two of them made eye contact.
"Hmm, you look a lot like me."
Because of the preparations for the Nero Festival, Nero had hardly talked to Okita Souji.
Now that she looked at him carefully, Nero realized that Souji Okita looked so much like her.
Except for the hair color and eye color, they look almost exactly like each other.
Well, actually, Okita Souji's development is also very good, but it can't be seen because he usually wears a kimono.
Souji Okita had never seen Nero before, and now after taking a closer look, he felt that the other person was very similar to himself, and he couldn't help but look at Nero with some surprise.
"Hey, come on, if you look carefully again, you two really look alike."
When Alice Nakiri heard this, she looked around at the two of them and thought they looked very similar.
"It's really similar."
Yuuki Asuna also nodded in agreement.
Soon, the two of them couldn't help but feel confused again.
"What's going on? Why do Roman emperors and modern Japanese samurai look so similar?"
If Su Mo were here, he would definitely tell them that this is just the beginning. It will only be truly similar when the various versions of Altria, Jeanne d'Arc/Dark Jeanne, Mordred, Morgan, Grey, the Valkyrie sisters, Kenshin Uesugi, etc. are summoned.
There are not only girls, there are also two male versions of Saber's faces, Bedivere and Old Sword.
I can only say that there are so many similarities in the Type-Moon world that it can be considered a feature.
