"Master, I have one more thing I would like to ask for your permission."
"Since Little Hippolyta took the initiative to speak, it seems that this matter is not ordinary… Tell me about it first."
Seeing Hippolyta's bright eyes,
Rin also planned to listen to what it was.
As for the affectionate nickname that the two girls gave Hippolyta, Hippolyta had given up protesting.
"I hope you can allow me some time to go out and search Snowfield City again… There is someone I want to meet."
Hippolyta's cheeks flushed with a faint blush.
There was an unspeakable depression in her chest.
"Pfft… Guhahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha!
What is this reaction? Little girl who calls herself a queen, can you show such a cute look?!
The Queen of the Amazons will also show this expression of a young girl in love? It's too funny, no, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts! It really is a rare treasure… Someone like you is more worthy of the identity of a woman!"
Gilgamesh was laughing non-stop.
If he could return to normal action now, he would have been slapping his thighs and laughing until his abs cramped.
Hippolyta had mocked him earlier.
This time, Gilgamesh immediately laughed back.
It can be said that it was a tit-for-tat.
He would never leave revenge overnight.
"Ugh! No matter what, I'm better than you, you bastard who can only lie on the ground! Also, who asked you! I'm talking to my Master!"
Hippolyta was both ashamed and angry.
She endured the urge to kick Gilgamesh away, avoiding a direct fight here.
Of course, Gilgamesh stopped there.
He didn't mind watching the fun.
"Hippolyta, do you think what that Avenger said is credible?"
"I can't confirm that. But, even if it's not credible, I think it's worth exploring."
Hippolyta didn't say it explicitly.
But, her attitude was quite clear.
—Participating in the Holy Grail War was to meet Moran and complete what she had not done in her lifetime.
This was Hippolyta's only wish.
She who fought for her people, her country, and the gods in her lifetime.
Now, she wanted to fight for herself.
"I see… It seems that this matter is very important to you.
If I stop you, it would be tantamount to preventing you from realizing your wish, and I don't like doing that… However, you should also be clear about the extent of the chaos in the current situation, right?"
Rin nodded slightly to show her understanding.
Her attitude made Hippolyta solemnly say: "I understand, so I won't be too far away. In this Holy Grail War, with my speed as a Rider, few can match me."
Letting Hippolyta out was not a rash move.
With her fastest speed, she could observe and test the strange black mist, and even if she encountered danger, she could run away.
Rin didn't plan to just huddle in the building like a turtle.
She needed Hippolyta as a scout to find out the situation outside and understand what was going on in Snowfield City now.
With Gilgamesh sitting in the building,
Just by setting up a high ground as a turret and launching treasures, he could intimidate more than half of the Servants.
Alcides had just gone through a great battle.
He's unlikely to break into the enemy's lair.
No one else would rush in like a reckless fool, who knows if Gilgamesh has any trump cards left.
Even if he lost the Ea sword as a finishing move.
His strength is beyond doubt.
"Since you've said this much, it would be unkind of me to say more. However, I'm curious, who exactly has captured Hippolyta's heart so much?"
Rin couldn't help but ask curiously.
Gilgamesh, standing aside, cast an admiring glance, he was also curious about this question.
This arrogant and conceited King of Heroes.
His gossiping nature is no less than these women, and in terms of temperament, he is like a high school girl.
Unpredictable, sometimes bursting into laughter at subtle jokes.
As changeable as dark clouds.
"Eh! Eh eh—!
Why are you all fixated on me! This question shouldn't be important, right? I might not even be able to find him…"
Hippolyta, who had been maintaining a dignified and graceful demeanor.
At this moment, her tone was full of shyness, and her eyes darted around nervously.
Seeing the previously so majestic queen now revealing such a delighted, girlish side.
This contrast is indeed amusing.
"Tell me, tell me, I'm also very curious.
What kind of person could be liked by Hippolyta? Could it be some great hero from mythology?"
Sakura's eyes sparkled with longing.
She is now an innocent child looking forward to hearing a story, like Cinderella waiting for her prince.
Just looking at her makes it hard to refuse.
"Tell me, tell me, this is also part of the intelligence, if we don't even know who we're looking for, then Sakura and I would be failing as Masters."
Rin had no intention of letting Hippolyta off the hook.
The characteristic of enjoying the spectacle inherited from Moran caused Gilgamesh to have a hallucination.
As if Moran was right here.
"Just tell us without worry. If you say the name, I might know something, and I can help you avoid some unnecessary work. Little girl, you see, what harm is there in that for you?"
Gilgamesh coaxed from the side.
He and Rin formed a perfect combination.
Now, even if Hippolyta wanted to slip away, she couldn't find an opening, there was no way.
In the end, she could only blurt out the name.
"…Moran."
Hippolyta's cheeks flushed red, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
Her lowered head seemed to want to bury itself in her full chest.
She spoke the name in an almost murmuring, faint tone, constantly suppressing the shame of being a woman.
Although the volume was very low.
However, as a Servant, Gilgamesh's five senses far exceeded the scope of normal people.
He heard clearly.
The name Hippolyta said.
"…What did you say?"
Gilgamesh's smile froze like stone.
He was still a little uncertain in his heart.
—No way? Impossible, right? It can't be, can it?
—Why is that guy's name everywhere I go… No, no, I must have misheard.
