Chapter 10
Chapter 10
The Hyatt Hotel, which has never experienced the "explosion art" of magician killers, can already guarantee the tranquility tonight.
In the guest room of the Einzbern Castle in the suburbs, the Ruler team, which is conducting real-time monitoring of the entire scene, also watched the scene of the two-gun battle with mercury, and came to the conclusion that the mercury maid produced within half a day was still not perfect. Then the focus shifted to the mansion of Tohsaka, the land manager of Fuyuki City.
Tonight there is a meet and greet between Archer and Berserker master and slave.
Tohsaka Tokiomi planned well.
Tonight, Tohsaka Zhai has Assassin from the Dark Alliance in ambush, and Gilgamesh, the strongest Servant, who is also a first-class magician himself, and the flame magic just restrains the insects of the Matou family.
With such thorough preparations, no matter what kind of intentions Matou Kariya has when going to the appointment, as long as the person arrives, with or without Berserker Tohsaka as the master, he will have absolute confidence in leading the situation.
But... what about the King of Heroes?
Seeing that the minute hand of the clock is getting closer and closer to the agreed 10:30, their family has not established a magic offering circuit with the Master, and Archer, who has the ability to act alone, is still missing. It seems that there was no dinner time not long ago. Golden Heroic Spirit, everything is just a fault of Tohsaka's illusion.
"Going for a walk again?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi knew that his Servant had a habit of taking walks; when his own Servant went for a walk, sometimes he disappeared all night just like the time in Warehouse Street, Tohsaka Tokiomi also knew it very well.
But at dinner time, he asked the King of Heroes respectfully to stay at home tonight... well, the king didn't actually make any promises.
On the contrary, Matou Kariya, who was vomiting blood all day long and whose broken body didn't know how long he could last, came very punctually this night, arriving at about 10:30 or 10:30, neither a minute early nor late.
Tohsaka.off the chain.Tokiomi was at a loss.The thinking in the brain instantly becomes the most simple and clear list:
──Well, the family training is to be elegant.
──Well, Berserker is graceful at the door even without Archer.
──Well, he should maintain his demeanor now, answer the door gracefully, and put the chain back gracefully.
Assassin can't fight Berserker head-on, and the same goes for gang fights.
Touching the command spell on the back of his hand, Tohsaka Tokiomi walked towards the entrance to greet the guests, holding the gemstone cane, only wishing not to come when he had to.
"Welcome, Kariya Matou."
"You...Tokiomi! You said that you want to pick up Sakura...cough, cough cough! Cough...take it back...you, are you serious?" The pale and disabled man had no intention of entering the room to discuss at all. , as soon as he saw Tokiomi Tohsaka, he immediately rushed forward, grabbed the red suit jacket of the opponent with one hand, and grabbed the collar with the other.
His tone was urgent, and he didn't even care about the blood gushing up and the imprinted worms that were restless in response to the host's emotions.
──Everything is Tokiomi's fault!
──To save Sakura from the wormhole!
These are the two beliefs that support Kariya Matou's activities today.And when he received the invitation letter from Tokiomi's family's familiar, causing conflicts in his beliefs, Matou Kariya decisively chose the latter!
For this man, venting the jealousy and hatred towards Tokiomi for having everything he envied but not cherishing is far less important than saving Sakura Matou who calls him "uncle".
"If Matou Ong did break the agreement."
Pulling down the hand on the collar, Tohsaka Tokiomi said unhurriedly.Just by looking at that appearance, who would guess that there is currently no force behind Tohsaka Tokiomi that can suppress the raging berserkers?The elegance and calmness engraved in his bones since he was a child, it is not surprising at this moment, it has become his best defensive weapon.
"I have a few questions I want to ask. The gate is not a convenient place to talk."
Hearing this, Matou Kariya stared at the half-race face with a neatly trimmed beard, as if identifying signs of lying on the other side?After a brief silence, he responded coldly: "... yes. Promise me... to rescue Sakura, don't, give her to Zouken... I will tell everything I know!"
"certainly."
Tosaka Tokiomi directly accepted his preconditions as Matou Kariya. For the first time, he felt that this man who turned his back on magic was not as difficult to communicate with as he imagined... Although as a father, facing a man who cares more than himself The man who adopted his daughter felt somewhat complicated.
But in the face of more important things, these emotions can be suppressed.
Let Tohsaka Sakura become Matou Sakura and inherit the magic seal of the Matou family, that is Tohsaka Tokiomi thinks the most appropriate method, which will not waste Sakura's talent, but also protect his own flesh and blood.
For this reason, Tosaka Tokiomi can understand and accept whether it is the body transformation necessary to adapt to the Matou family's magic, or the harsh magic training that comes from it.
But the Ruler group, who visited before dinner and left when the meal was approaching, seemed to be looking for someone and guarding someone, brought him enough evidence to overturn his old cognition.
"Ah, of course it's not a legal method, it's considered breaking and entering."
The foreign magician whose background could not be found seemed to appear out of nowhere, and whose strong physique did not look like a magician at all, used this sentence at the time as his opening remarks after reading the evidence.
Of course, he could also see that the way to obtain those "evidences" was by no means as simple as "sneaking into Matou's house and peeping".
I'm afraid there are elements of prophecy mixed in it, but it is more accurate and intuitive.
The only thing that worries Tohsaka Tokiomi is that he doesn't understand that Ruler's master and servant, who should be fair, have worked so hard to use so many and complicated magic tricks, just to give him a crystal ball video made into a magic prop. What?
"Tohsaka's master is superstitious. You don't have anything worthy of my efforts to conspire." The man spoke bluntly in a very irritating manner. In the background was Ruler who couldn't help but turned his head and shook his shoulders.
That Servant is definitely laughing at him!
Although Tosaka Tokiomi didn't understand it at the time, and now he doesn't understand what is so funny?
"In order to clarify the main work of Ruler's manifestation, we are investigating the Holy Grail and the remaining two knights who have not appeared in the present world so far. I hope that the Lord Tohsaka will not move for the time being. These "evidences" are exchanged as conditions, and I am also counted. A little sympathy for the little girl’s misfortune.”
Those words were frivolous, and Tohsaka Tokiomi was also a little emotional, so he didn't notice that at that moment, the guardian who said such words seemed to freeze in an instant, blocked by the gloomy eyes under layers of hard ice.
The father would not know that the so-called "evidence" handed over to him was actually found by the heroic spirit Emiya and asked her to get it from her own records.
Those records that are impressive enough—such as shock, surprise, etc., with huge emotional fluctuations to a certain extent can be further stimulated and presented in the form of images more directly in the mind.For example, special delicacies in Cu Chulainn's pile of records, certain throbbing moments, unspeakable things like this and that, whatever.
This part of Emiya is also the same.
However, the guardian will never admit that he has some records similar to Cu Chulainn's and has the same effect on the occasion of more than two people.
Closer to home.
If Matou Zouken had not planned to raise Matou Sakura as an heir from the very beginning, she only needed her function as an excellent mother, or as a carrier to extend someone's life for hundreds of years, or even the last one—— The most intolerable possibility for Tohsaka Tokiomi──be transformed into another Lesser Grail.
This is no longer a betrayal of the oath with the Tohsaka family, but a covenant with the founding of the three royal families as a whole!
However, Tohsaka's master is not someone who can easily be used as a gunman, so he suppressed his personal dislike for Matou Kariya and invited that man to meet.
And for this, there is an extra risk that Archer is not at home!
The two men and the spiritized Berserker finally entered the Tohsaka mansion.Next, the indoors are not so easy to monitor... Oh, and of course there is no need for monitoring for the time being.
Because there is no time!
I saw the "camera" swaying suddenly on the water surface of the bathtub, and the scene turned into a blurred impressionist style. When the final frame was fixed, a handsome face with both nobleness and arrogance that I saw once and would remember for a long time broke into their surveillance. on screen.
King of Heroes, Gilgamesh.
The oldest king who cared about disappearing and reappearing on his own, completely regardless of what the Master thinks or what his fellow heroic spirits think.
"Faker, dog—how dare you, you guys! You actually threw me away and ran away!"
Well, it's a question of guilt from the very beginning.
However, the two heroic spirits who were facing the King of Heroes across the water were not surprised at all.After all, it is the king!If the other party turned out to be polite when they came up, they would be deeply frightened, and by the way suspect that the other party did not change color because the distance is too far away. In fact, this is another victim of the world line changing sieve or a fish that slipped through the net!
"However, the king is magnanimous. I will appear in front of this king immediately, and it doesn't matter if I let you off once."
Hearing this, the red and blue heroic spirits were a little surprised this time.
The King of Heroes even took the initiative to say that it's okay to let them go?
The two looked carefully at the surface of the water, seeing the undisguised joyful expression of the King of Heroes, tsk tsk, could it be that some unlucky guy managed to arouse the king's interest before Gilgamesh approached them and was tricked?
"I suddenly want to look up to other people's luck." Son of Light, who has a deep understanding of the lethality of lucky E, has inexplicable feelings.
"What's so good about falling out of the alphabet? Your lucky E will be infected!"
"Say it like you're not Lucky E."
Cu Chulainn raised his head, made eye contact with the person who was bowing his head, and teased with a hearty smile: "Recognize the reality, Mr. Emiya of Lucky E. Then you will be with me as you said, and we will win and lose."
"Tsk. Stupid dog."
Talking about the stupid dog, he turned his face away, but there was no sign of rejection.Cu Chulainn looked at the resolute side face, stood up resolutely, followed the feeling that was about to move in his heart, leaned forward... and kissed him lightly.
Superficially, it is completely inconsistent with Cu Chulainn's usual style.
"What are you doing! You..."
"I'll kiss you. And don't look at me like that, there's no way! It's such a good secret room once the door is closed, it will be even more uncomfortable if it is interrupted again at the beginning!"
Cu Chulainn raked his hair, his red pupils turned to the water.
The image of the king projected on the water is so predictable, it is already shouting: "Faker and the dog don't flirt! The king's call cannot be refused!"
Very real time isn't it?The time is so real that it is impossible not to doubt that Gilgamesh can actually see the movements of the familiar's master through the eyes of the familiar.
"Humph."
Emiya looked up at the ceiling—he would not admit that the atmosphere was good just now, and felt that it was a pity to be disturbed by the King of Heroes.
On the other side, the tone is so familiar that Emiya and Cu Chulainn can definitely turn over the records, and the body of the main hero king on the seat of heroes is still talking to himself: "This king found a very interesting clown, and specially gave it to him. You all share the glory of a good show. This, but a show that has never been seen in the Fourth World War... You will regret it if you don't come, Master Ruler. Huh?"
After saying all of this, the disabled familiar was immediately thrown out by the King of Heroes.
The image in the water was unstable again.
It wasn't until the captured crow familiar stabilized his body and the scene reappeared that the Ruler team realized that this was no longer the Tohsaka mansion, but in front of the gate of Liudong Temple on Enzang Mountain.
With his hands in his trouser pockets, his casual clothes and his hair hanging down, Gilgamesh, who no longer looked so fierce, stood there.
"The Great Holy Grail is buried in the large underground cavity of Mount Enzo."
Emiya's face darkened.
When the Holy Grail War was in progress, the guardians really couldn't see Liudong Temple, and they didn't think of the large underground cavity of Liudong Temple called "Dragon Cave".
Emiya has seen more than one or two heroic spirits who will try to violate the rules and directly use the Holy Grail, especially for the Caster of the fifth Holy Grail War, Medea, the witch of the age of gods.
And with the ability of the heroic spirit itself, it's not like he hasn't considered dealing with the source of the disaster directly.But──"It's not a place where you can move before the situation is opened. If you are not careful, it will be a melee. The King of Heroes will be there... Does this mean who has escaped the church's surveillance and sneaked in?"
"Caster or Avenger or one of the Masters! The rest of them haven't shown up yet. Speaking of which, has the Caster changed this time? If it's Gilles de Rais, can he resist harassing Saber? That A guy with terrible eyesight, never recognized anyone right in the Fourth World War."
"It's not the best. At least this world line won't cause a lot of family tragedies because of the Holy Grail War." Emiya stood up, "Let's go." The King of Heroes invited, and there would be trouble if we didn't go.
"Oh."
Knowing what Emiya would choose for a long time, Cu Chulainn simply and quickly removed the magic arrangement inside and outside the bathtub.
Then drain the water, keep up, and leave.
The author has something to say: I always feel that Wang Jiang will continue to develop according to this trend, and the final direction of evolution will probably become "Emiya's Holy Grail King"... What should I do if the rune is used well orz
