“Well, I successfully obtained the Command Seal. I should be the last one.”
In the evening, in a cemetery in Fuyuki City, Shishi Jiejieli set up a barrier to isolate outsiders and carved a summoning circle.
The deadline required by the Clock Tower to come to Fuyuki City is the 20th. I think several other magicians who will participate in the Holy Grail War should have arrived a few days in advance, arranged their bases, prepared materials, and then obtained the stigmata and command spells. The heroic spirit is summoned as soon as possible.
Only he delayed it until the end, and was not ready to start until the deadline.
Because during this time, he has been investigating the situation of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City ten years ago, the attack on the Clock Tower, understanding other people who will participate in the Holy Grail War, and making preliminary preparations.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you fight without danger.
The information has been memorized by heart.
“Can it really be a ‘peaceful’ war? One that determines victory or defeat, regardless of life or death?”
"Forget it, we're already here. Although the Three Hours of Chou Shi is the most suitable wavelength for me, when the other six servants are likely to have arrived, delaying any longer may bring unknown risks. Youshi also forced it."
“With silver and iron as elements, with stone and the great prince of contract as the foundation...”
The summoning spell has long been familiar to me, and with a dull pain in my internal organs, Lion Jie Jieli's magic power was fully activated. The summoning circle gradually emitted red light, echoing with him.
“Be full, be full…”
“The wheel of self-inhibition appears...”
The light became more dazzling, and a figure gradually rose from the formation. Before he had time to see the face of the heroic spirit, Lion Jie Jieli was stunned by the news that suddenly came from the Holy Grail system.
“Change of camp? Designated as Black? Seven Cavalry versus Seven Cavalry?! Added Ruler, Judge, 15th Heroic Spirit?! Hey, you didn’t tell me this kind of thing before!”
machines
“Are you my Master?!”
Just when Lion Jie Jieli was in a trance, a clear and clear voice came from the opposite side. Only then did he look back and saw a small knight whose whole body was covered with steel.
"...Yes, I am your master, but let this go first." Lion Jie Jieli scratched his head and sighed: "Have you received the prompt from the Holy Grail system? Seven riders versus seven riders."
“Of course, I was summoned just to kill seven enemies! Do you have any questions about this, Master?”
"No..." Lion Jie Jieli shook his head: "In fact, until I summoned you, all the news I knew was the battle between seven masters and servants. Why did there still be 15 heroic spirits descending in the Holy Grail War? , and why do we need to suddenly change the rules? Apart from the seven of us, who are the seven knights and the adjudicator on the red side?"
"...Are you an idiot, Master, to join the Holy Grail War without even understanding the rules?" The little knight puffed up his chest slightly, and there was a clear sense of oppression in his voice: "But then It doesn’t matter anymore! Just win every victory and kill every enemy that appears in front of you!”
Tsk, you summoned an amazing guy. By the way, which of the Knights of the Round Table is this? What also puzzled Lion Jie Jieli was that as the master, he was vague about the servants he summoned, but under the current circumstances, he could only put it aside a little.
He raised his head and looked at the sky.
"I'm very sorry, can the next communication pass through consciousness? My 'companions' probably want to summon us because of the change in the rules, and I don't really want them to see you yet."
“…Tsk, trouble!”
The little knight complained about becoming a spirit.
On the way, through sensory communication, he realized that he had summoned the most special "knight" with the fragments of the round table.
King Arthur's son, the rebellious knight Mordred, was rumored to have a fatal origin due to **** between King Arthur and his sister. In the end, he ended King Arthur's kingdom with rebellion and died with him.
What is even more unexpected is that the son of King Arthur is actually a woman. Of course, this does not seem to be mentioned. When he mentioned it, the materialized sword almost cut off his head, leaving him with a headless driver.
Other than that, the conversation was quite harmonious.
Until he arrived at Fuyuki City Church, he became slightly solemn, and Mordred in his consciousness also became quiet, as if he was alerting the surrounding people.
This really gave him a sense of security. He looked around and stepped into the church.
The cemetery is too far away, and he is the last one.
Lotwell, a free magician known as the Silver Lizard, his companions, the Pantel brothers, who are famous for their combination magic, and Bazett, the famous seal executor, are arranged in twos and twos, and they are observing him, who is also famous. .
At the top position, there are two people standing side by side. One is Maris Billy, the monarch of astronomical science in the clock tower, and the other is a supervisor and participant sent by the church.
Carlene Ordesia.
This is a petite girl with long silver hair and golden eyes. Her complexion is so fair that it is unhealthy. As she gets closer, Shili Jiejieli can clearly smell the smell of disinfectant.
‘It makes people feel a little uncomfortable…’
He murmured in his heart and looked around: "Then...where should I stand?"
"Mr. Lion Jie can do as he pleases." Although they gathered in the church, Maris Billy, the Lord of the Clock Tower, automatically took over the leadership, and Kallen didn't seem to have any objections.
“Now that everyone is here, let’s get down to business. Everyone must have received the message from the Holy Grail system just now, so they must be still confused now.”
“Indeed, no such thing was said when we were notified of our arrival.”
“What are the seven cavalry against the seven cavalry?”
Marisbili pressed his hand: "Please be patient. Although it has not happened before, according to the Clock Tower's research on the Fuyuki Holy Grail, it does have a 'preparatory system'.
The probability of this kind of preparation system being activated is very low, and the prerequisite is that the seven Masters participating in the Holy Grail War are from the same camp. "
“...the same camp?”
Several recruited magicians looked at each other.
"Indeed, in order to circumvent this and successfully recover the Holy Grail, the Clock Tower did not lock all the candidates in our monarch line, but hired everyone to really fight a war, including the introduction of the supervisor-Sister Karen."
Marisbili shook his head: "But even so, it seems that it cannot avoid the judgment that the Holy Grail is in the same camp. It may be because the Yusan Family who created the Holy Grail system failed to participate. The Holy Grail has a bias and compensation mechanism, or maybe it is because Due to some other unknown rules, the preparation system of the Holy Grail was suddenly activated."
I see. Lion Jiejie Li said in his heart, no wonder they recruited us. But this brings us to the last question. Is the Clock Tower really so generous that it doesn’t matter who among us wins and makes a wish on the Holy Grail?
If not...does this Marisbili monarch have some absolute chance of winning?
Hey, not a single heroic spirit showed up. It seems that we, the Black Party, have something on our minds.
After all, it is a universal wishing machine, and something like that happened ten years ago. I am afraid that some magicians have more or less believed that the Holy Grail can reach its source. ‘Mercenaries’, including me, are not just for pay.
Everyone's eyes interacted. Lion Jie Jieli found that only Bazett's clear eyes had a trace of confusion. The others were probably the same old Yinbi as himself, including Sister Karen, whose smile was not so comfortable.
Marisbili didn’t seem to care about these things. He shook his head and said: “This is a mistake in our judgment, but it has already happened, and there is nothing we can do about it. The content of your commission will not change, and you will still use your own methods to compete for the Holy Grail.
But before the competition between us, we must first clear out the seven knights on the red side according to the rules and mechanisms of the Holy Grail. I just hope that you won't start fighting with each other in the middle. "
He emphasized: "This is the only request and order of the Clock Tower!"
"Hahaha, of course, of course, we must at least kill the enemy first." Silver Lizard's laughter was a bit shrill: "But... Your Majesty, the content of the commission has been increased, and we still have to fight the unknown Seven Riders, shouldn't we?" …”
"I have already communicated with the Clock Tower about increasing rewards, and they are studying it there. I think we will get a satisfactory result tomorrow." Marisbili looked around and said, "Do you have any other ideas or needs?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Lion Jie Jieli scratched his head: "Hmm... is there any information about our hostility to the Seven Riders and the Judge? They probably haven't appeared yet? I'm afraid we can't just decide the winner this time, right?"
Ruler should have arrived, but his location and identity are not yet clear. As the judge, he will be absolutely neutral in this war, and will only run to protect the ordinary people affected and the fairness of the Holy Grail War.
I will contact Tokiomi Tosaka later. He is cooperative about the recovery of the Holy Grail from the Clock Tower. But don’t expect to obtain information from him for the time being, or even cooperate with us, as that may lead to the intervention of the Adjudicator. "
“Let’s wait and see first.”
"Yes, let's first confirm how the seven knights on the red side will appear. What kind of heroic spirits are they?"
This temporary meeting was almost over. From the beginning to the end, no one proposed to let everyone's heroic spirits meet. Lion Jiejie Li sighed deeply in his heart when he left the church.
‘Very unpleasant atmosphere. ’
Mordred spoke in consciousness, and Lion Jie Jieli agreed: "Our holy relics were all provided by the Clock Tower. The monarch should have estimated the identity of our servants. Everyone came here as opponents. , it’s naturally not that pleasant to suddenly have to cooperate. Unless you feel pressure from the red side..."
‘Why is there pressure? ! You have summoned the strongest king! ’
“…Ah, that’s just right, I am also the best Master.” Lion Jie Jieli said with a smile.
…
At the Tosaka house, it was dinner time.
Tokiomi Tosaka, who has lost some of his psychological pressure, is now more like a pure magician, a scholar who studies magic every day.
He came to the dining table on time and saw his wife and daughter waiting for him. He was slightly startled and said, "Where is Rin?"
There were only Tosaka Aoi and Sakura at the table. Tohsaka Aoi smiled and shook her head: "I'm going out. At about six o'clock, I received a call from my classmate Xiaofeng, saying that I saw a piece of clothing that Rin had been looking for, so I hurried out and told me that dinner was at Please invite Xiaofeng to eat together outside."
“It’s ridiculous, I’d better stop running around at night these days.” If he had to cooperate with the clock tower to recover the Holy Grail, Tokiomi Tosaka recently wanted to take his wife and daughter away from Fuyuki temporarily.
“Yes, Rin should be fine.”
“Well, let’s eat. You have to eat more, Sakura.” Tokiomi Tosaka nodded.
“Yeah.” Sakura responded softly.
The Tohsaka family has house rules, and no one talks during meals. This is a good thing for Tohsaka Sakura tonight, as it can help her hide her nervousness. Filling her stomach with small mouthfuls as usual, she stood up and put away the dishes.
"I'm stuffed."
The amount was about the same as usual. In exchange for Tokiomi's hum, Sakura left lightly.
Going back to her room, she closed the door. She leaned against the door and let out a heavy breath. A command spell appeared on the back of her hand on her chest!
That one appeared after lunch, and she had just hidden it with magic during the meal.
After passing the most difficult level, she looked at the bedroom with a complicated expression, and said "I'm sorry" in a low voice.
She wants to participate in the Holy Grail War, so she will leave the Tohsaka family tonight, maybe temporarily, or maybe permanently - not only for Tong Yuan, but also for many things.
With her luggage roughly packed, she looked at the only locked cabinet in the room, took out the key from under the mattress, and opened it.
She originally wanted to look at the hat to encourage herself, but she never expected that the moment the cabinet was opened, she was stunned on the spot.
Empty.
“Gone…”
Missing? !
Why? who is it? !
Obviously it was just yesterday... At this moment, Sakura looked flustered as never before. The next moment, she suddenly understood and became even more flustered.
Half a minute later, Tosaka Tokiomi and his wife, who were still eating, suddenly heard the sound of the door closing and were stunned for a moment: "Rin is back?"
“That’s not right, it seems like...”
Sakura is out? Where are you going so late?
Tokiomi Tokiomi's expression changed slightly, and he was about to walk to the window when the phone next to him suddenly rang. He gave Tosaka Aoi a look, frowned and answered: "This is the Tosaka family...what? Qiqi Holy Grail War vs Seven Riders?!"
Outside, on the street under the night, Sakura Tohsaka was running with all her strength.
The direction is school.
I was physically exhausted several times but I broke through my limits. When I arrived near the school and the Kyudo Department warehouse, my whole body was soaked with sweat.
Then she stared blankly at Tohsaka Rin in the warehouse, the magic circle shining in front of him, and the hat in the center of the magic circle!
“Sister, sister...?”
Tohsaka Rin turned around and smiled: "I was discovered by you, Sakura. It's really distressing. If you come here at this time, I'm afraid you won't have any chance of hiding it from your father."
“Why, why…”
"There is no reason." Tohsaka Rin sighed: "I have seen you secretly preparing the magic circle materials for summoning heroic spirits in the warehouse during this period. When the command spell appeared on the back of your hand this afternoon, I I also noticed it, because at the same time I also had a Command Seal.
Since you chose to hide, I know what you are thinking, what else can I do? "
She said with a smile: "You who have always been obedient are so 'stubborn' this time. I think persuasion is probably ineffective. Telling father... would be a little too much, haha. I have no other way, I can only be there first In front of you, I will help you summon the heroic spirit 'Tong Yuan'."
Sakura looked at her blankly.
“Don’t look like that, I have always taken advantage of you, Sakura.” Rin Tosaka shook his head: “Because you are older than you, you were sent to the Matou family and suffered for a year.
Because I am older than you, I will inherit the Tosaka family's magic seal, and the Tosaka family's fortune will also be mine in the future... But I was born a year earlier than you, so all the benefits are mine, and I am always under pressure. It's also very big. "
“Sister, I don’t have…”
"I know you don't." Tohsaka Rin said with a smile: "As a sister, I have to do something for you. I know you probably don't just want to see Tong Yuan again, at least because your name has become a taboo in our family after death. 'Uncle Kariya'.
You have been looking forward to the Holy Grail.
Looking forward to the miracles and wishes of the Holy Grail to make up for the many regrets you had when you were a child, so you were disappointed when your father said you couldn't participate, and even secretly decided to secretly summon? "
"I'll do it for you." Tohsaka Rin said with a smart face: "At least my father won't kick me out of the house, right? Hahaha, if that really happens, I will be miserable, Sakura. You have to give me all the pocket money you secretly saved."
I don’t know if it was tears or sweat that had blurred Sakura’s vision. She raised her hand blankly and pointed behind Tosaka Rin.
“Well, are you here?”
Tohsaka Rin looked back with a smile and was stunned.
What he caught in his sight was a man with his arms crossed and wearing shining gold armor.
This is Tong Yuan? Right? How come I've seen this guy before? Right? Right? !
“King Gilgamesh?!”
ah? Why was it he was summoned by Tong Yuan's sacred relic, the bamboo hat? !
