"Zhang, have you heard of the Textbook of Sunken Spiral Castle?" Chihiro asked Zhang Jiao quietly.
"Textbook of Sunken Spiral Castle? No, I don't think I have," Zhang Jiao replied, puzzled. "What is it?"
"Ah, never mind," Chihiro said, waving his hand. "I'll expin it ter, ohis quiz is over."
Acc to lore, the magic book that Bluebeard holds is called the Textbook of Sunken Spiral Castle, It was copied from the inal book in the Sunken Spiral Castle, transted from the R'lyeh nguage into ese during the Xia Dynasty, aransted into Italian by Fran?ois Preti.
---
["Yes, this is the magic book left to me by my ally Preti," Bluebeard expined, lifting the tome in his hands. "Through it, I learned how to and the demon army."]
[He tinued speaking passioo "Jeanne," pletely unaware of Artoria's furious expression.]
--
[In the video, Artoria charged fain. But this time, she was overwhelmed by the sea monsters, who restrained her with their bck, slimy tentacles.]
["Aah!"]
[Artoria tried to summon the Wind King Barrier, but the tentacles squeezed tighter, causio cry out in pain. She struggled, uo trate on her abilities.]
[The video paused on this se.]
---
[Question: What happe?]
---
Chihiro: "…"
Chihiro stared at the question, utterly bewildered. Did the system really just stop at that se, with su open-ended question? This whole setup feels… way too suggestive.
Artoria: "Why did it have to freeze on that se?! Couldn't it have chosen something more dignified?"
Hero King: "Hahaha, the position suits you well, King of Knights."
Knight of the Lake : "Ahhh…"
Hero King: "Shut up, mad dog. Stop howling in the group."
Tohsaka Rin: "How are we supposed to ahis question?"
Chihiro: "Just go with your instincts and think creatively. Like, maybe someone es to rescue Artoria?"

[Ding! gratutions to Chihiro for partially answering the question correctly. 1 Saint Quartz has been awarded.]
---
Waver: "Huh? So you get partial points for this?"
Irisviel: "Saber is saved! Thank goodness."
Artoria: "Thank you, Irisviel. I promise, this won't happen again."
Keh: "If partial answers are allowed, then the rest of the answer must be about who saves the King of Knights."
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "It's likely Emiya Kiritsugu. He is Artoria's Master, after all."
Matou Kariya: "I agree. It must have been Emiya Kiritsugu who saved her."
---
[Ding! Matou Kariya's answer is incorrect. 1 Saint Quartz has beeed.]
---
Matou Kariya: "???"
Matou Kariya: "Tohsaka Tokiomi! You tricked me!"
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "I merely provided a logical analysis based on the information. You were the one who jumped to answer."
Waver: "If it wasn't Emiya Kiritsugu, then who else could it be?"
Chihiro: "Who knows? There are plenty of possibilities."
Chihiro had no iion of giving away the full answer just yet. If he guessed ht that it was Diarmuid, it would spoil the fun.
Suddenly, Keh seemed to have a realization. "It must be Diarmuid who saves Artoria."
---
[Ding! gratutions to Keh for answering correctly. 3 Saint Quartz have been awarded.]
---
"So, I was right…" Keh allowed himself a small smile.
He had reaso out based on his own tendencies. If he were to e across such a situation, he'd probably send Diarmuid in to ha, especially if it aligned with his goal of pursuing Emiya Kiritsugu.
Diarmuid: "gratutions, my lord."
Keh: "Hmph, it's nothing to boast about. Just one correswer."
---
[The video tinued.]
[Two spears, one red and one yellow, came crashing down from above, scattering the surrounding sea monsters and freeing Artoria.]
["That's hardly dignified, Saber."]
[Diarmuid nded gracefully, looking at Artoria with a slight smile.]
["A Knight King should wield their sword with grace. Anything less would be an insult to your title."]
---
Waver: "So, it really was Diarmuid! But why would he be there?"
Diarmuid: "I don't have an ao that either. This… future is unknown to me."
---
[Bluebeard's expression twisted in rage. "You've ruihe ba I prepared for the Saint! I'll kill you!"]
[Diarmuid met his fury without fear. "Go ahead and try. I will show you no mercy."]
["Lancer… you…"]
[Artoria's face showed surprise as Diarmuid approached.]
[Diarmuid responded simply, "Don't misuand. I'm here solely to eliminate Caster."]
["Who the hell are you?" Bluebeard shouted in frustration, "Who allowed you to interfere with my masterpiece?"]
["Only I cim the head of the Knight King!" Diarmuid yelled back, equally furious.]
---
Chihiro: "Diarmuid, you just saved her, but you ruihe moment with that line. Really missed an opportunity there."
Diarmuid: "Please don't misstrue my iions. I respect the Knight King, but our retionship is purely professional."
Artoria: "Precisely. We're just warriors whnize each other's strength."
---
[Bluebeard's face torted. "I resurrected her through the Holy Grail! She belongs to me!"]
[Diarmuid scowled. "Caster, I don't care about your twisted obsession, but…"]
[He pointed his spear toward Bluebeard. "I won't let you take advantage of Saber when she's uo wield her full strength."]
["After all, that wound on her hand was caused by me."]
[With that, Diarmuid charged forward, g with the endless swarm of sea monsters. Together, he and Artoria fought back-to-back against the onsught.]
[The s faded to bck.]
---
[Question: Why did Kayh send Diarmuid to fight Bluebeard?]
---
Keh: "Because I inteo challenge Emiya Kiritsugu to a duel."
---
[Ding! gratutions to Keh for answering correctly. 3 Saint Quartz have been awarded.]

Everyone in the group: "???"
