"So, Garan no Douma, is not a match?"
Still in that dim conference room, a total of four people were casually sitting around. They wore an air of superiority, admiring the silver knightess, her heroic posture.
"How, how can she be so strong?"
That was a woman dressed in luxurious, vibrant red robes. She looked to be only in her early twenties, but in reality, she was already over fifty years old. But whether it was her jet-black long hair draped on the floor, or her refined yet dignified face, her arrogance was subtly exuding from her.
But, without a doubt, even if this woman's profession was to serve as a shrine maiden to the God of Waga, she was also a ten-evil villain. The number of people who died by her hand was countless. It could be said that this shrine maiden's identity and current power were all forged on mountains of bones.
This woman was precisely the family head of the Akiha family, who served 'Lord Non-Compliant', also known as the male head of the Susanoo family. Utilizing the power of the non-compliant god, as well as high-level shrine maidens produced by her own family, this family was considered a backbone force among the 'Four Great Families of Island-Nation Sorcery.'
Now, this sly woman, who could be truly described as a cunning fox-like woman, was unconsciously revealing a hint of her arrogance.
Undoubtedly, Garan no Douma's strength was indeed very considerable. For top-tier sorcerers and shrine maidens like them, if they were to fight, they wouldn't have much chance of winning. If it was an assassination or a sneak attack, there was even a possibility of being instantly killed.
However, in just a blink of an eye, the highest-ranking ninja named Garan no Douma was defeated just like that.
Such a thing, the four people present, were absolutely incapable of doing.
"So, did that damned fellow intentionally go easy on her?"
The middle-aged man from the Lenjou family said spitefully, his words filled with obvious malice.
However, his answer was not some sharp-tongued retort, nor was it some insulting curse with no identity.
Instead, it was an extremely solemn, heavily suppressed sigh.
"No, absolutely not."
The person sitting at the head, also the foremost among the four, a cross-dressing beauty named Saigyouji Yuyuko, lightly brushed away a strand of hair from her forehead, as if covering her inner turmoil, then answered with extreme solemnity.
"There's no possibility he held back. He absolutely had no reason to."
Such words, spoken with a heavy tone, escaped her pale pink lips.
"It's not his problem. It's that girl, that girl named Illyasviel von Einzbern, the 'Fairy of Swords' from Italy, who is truly excessively strong."
Such words, spoken from the mouth of this most terrifying shrine maiden, caused the other three in the room to be momentarily speechless.
If even Yuyuko thought so, then this girl was not just simply strong.
"The most important thing, however, is not merely that."
However, words tinged with a hint of melancholy, spoken from the mouth of that always confident woman, filled the air with a sense of disharmony.
Even the air in this cramped conference room felt slightly sticky.
"That girl's strength is no longer simply powerful. Her martial arts, combined with the highest level of Divine Armaments, has already surpassed us in absolute strength. If you even consider her terrifying recovery ability, even if all four of us attacked together, we might not be her match."
Those were extremely solemn words, the meaning of which was already clear. Saigyouji Yuyuko's shock was absolutely not feigned.
Understanding this point, the four people present had no objections at this moment.
They all lowered their heads, quietly considering their countermeasures.
"It's truly boastful. A mere unknown knight possesses such strength. Then, what level of strength does that Lord Heroic King have?"
That was the sound of gasping, enough to convey the pressure that person was under. The head of the Lenjou family was, at this moment, incomparably shocked. Not only was he astonished by Illyasviel von Einzbern's extraordinary strength, but he was even more terrified of the man behind Illyasviel von Einzbern, the most ancient king named Gilgamesh, a man powerful enough to slay gods, a silent terror.
"For now, let's not consider that."
A moment later, Saigyouji Yuyuko watched as Garan no Douma already brought Illyasviel von Einzbern towards this side, and so he couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, Garan no Douma's strength was extremely powerful, but in terms of loyalty, it was naturally lacking.
"Prepare yourselves to welcome that Lord Knight. Do not show any discourtesy on our part. After all, the glory of the island nation's people, and the face of the 'Official History Compilation Committee,' are all resting on our shoulders."
Hearing such words, the other three also couldn't help but sigh softly.
However, they still nodded slightly.
This was that large crane. It was carrying the ninja named Garan no Douma, and had already approached this conference room incomparably close.
"Finally, remember not to agree to any of her requests. It's best if you can keep stalling."
Such words, spoken from Saigyouji Yuyuko's mouth, carried no hint of shame. This old fox in politics naturally far surpassed Illyasviel von Einzbern in shamelessness.
And that girl had also arrived at this moment.
Before her, respectively, were a beautiful person dressed in masculine attire, full of heroic spirit, a young man carrying a light-hearted aura, a middle-aged man in ancient robes, and a beautiful woman dressed in splendid clothes.
These fellows, no matter how one looked at them, did not resemble the highest magic management authority of a nation.
Even Paul Blut, who was always foolish, seemed far more serious than they did.
"So, long story short."
Without waiting for the other party's formal words, Illyasviel von Einzbern said bluntly.
"Our King, His Highness Gilgamesh, will take over this territory and accept your allegiance!"
Such direct words made the other five people present involuntarily twitch at the corners of their mouths.
Indeed, Gilgamesh was extremely powerful, perhaps even an insurmountable existence for them. But, to simply hand over all their power and pledge allegiance to a fellow who wasn't even from this island nation, just for such a foolish reason?
It was truly a joke!
However, out of fear of the opponent's strength, and also out of fear of the 'Durandal' in the opponent's hand, which was still radiating a pure white light and a sharp aura, whether it was the most frivolous magus Kotomine Kirei or the nominal highest manager Saigyouji Yuyuko, no one dared to openly refuse.
Perhaps, this was also a compromise considering the opponent's strength.
However, Saigyouji Yuyuko still stepped forward with light steps.
She seemed to be oblivious to the 'Durandal' that was still radiating other colors. She spoke softly.
"Miss Illyasviel von Einzbern, welcome to our island nation, the far east of the sorcery world."
