At this time, next to Mikoto, Kuroko Shirai, who had not made a sound, bravely approached Rin in the rampage.

"Kuroko, help...... Ahh

Thinking that someone finally came forward to do justice, Levi gave a grateful look to the little girl with a double ponytail, who knew that in exchange for a hard kick in the crotch, and then it almost hit the man the most painful, it was simply a kick to the ground!

"It's rare to believe you once, it seems that I was too naïve. The charge of unauthorized use of violence will be reported when I have time, and if you encounter a similar situation in the future, you will definitely not want me to hide it for you, hum!"

When Levi wanted to ask him to deal with Strange's business, Kuroko thought he had some special plan. As a result, now that I think about it, I was completely deceived by his serious appearance.

This large-scale commotion that occurred at the scene, which is comparable to a terrorist attack, how should I report it to the superiors of the Discipline Inspection Commission tomorrow? The thought of these sunspots gives her a headache, and she is serious and responsible at work, and she has never had the idea of denying her presence to escape.

Originally, I and my sister had a happy campus life, but it seems that there is no way to enjoy it in a short period of time. It's all to blame on this hateful guy, if it weren't for the pitiful appearance of his wounds, he wouldn't have been able to dispel Kuroko's anger with an understatement.

"I'll leave you alone for now. Kaguya, treat him a little first, don't let him die. ”

After being interrupted by Mikoto and Kuroko, Rin gradually recovers from his rampage. Thinking that there was something more important to do for a moment, she had to press down on the idea of continuing to teach Levi a lesson. She turned, swirling around Kaguya's expressionless face with a 'you're an accomplice' look, then moved out of the way.

But that doesn't mean he's forgiven! Levi's obvious distrust of his sneaky actions made up his mind and immediately reported to Evan what had happened tonight as soon as he got home. I believe that it is enough for Levi to use his body or something else to realize what a crime he has committed!

"Kaguya?"

"Oh, yes, I'll heal. ”

The magician girl painted a happy picture of Levi being brutally abused by Evan in her mind, and it took a long time to find that her Servant did not respond. She turned her head again, only to notice Kaguya, who was standing behind Yumemu and sitting next to the mound of dirt with the sleeping Reizen, in a daze.

No one knew that Kaguya was looking for someone who was supposed to be around as planned, and she retracted her sense when she heard Rin call her name a second time.

Kaguya came to the wounded and crouched down next to his Master. She gently placed a pair of hands that were usually tucked in wide sleeves on top of Levi, and silently recited jerky incantations in her mouth, and the white energy visible to the naked eye slowly injected into the other party's body.

This is not the first time that Levi has enjoyed healing magic, and when he lived in the wizarding world in the past, he was treated with restorative magic many times. He liked Kaguya's service now more than the kind of magic that seemed to be injected with growth hormone and his body was running fast and constantly exciting.

Kaguya's healing technique is like her magic that is different from this world, like a pale blue water, enveloping people in it. Warm, cozy, gentle but equally effective, as if washing the body and mind, Levi was a little reluctant to end it.

Secretly determined that he must enjoy it a few more times when he has a chance in the future, he secretly glanced at Eve's face, and saw that the flush had dissipated, so he slowly stood up.

After moving the joints of my limbs, I can't say that I have fully recovered, and there is still some sluggishness and pain in my movements, but I can stand up and move, which is already a good result.

"Eve, how long have I been asleep?"

"Less than half an hour. ”

The answer to Levi was Kuroko Shirai, whose face was still a little gloomy. She was holding her phone and was checking the situation with her partner who stayed in the branch, and when she heard Levy's words, she casually glanced at the time at the top of the screen.

"Surveyed in the neighborhood?"

During the battle with Gilgamesh, Kaguya, who had not joined the team, was constantly probing the surroundings with spells, trying to find out where the opponent's master was. The bystander was clear, and she noticed that Gilgamesh had intentionally or unintentionally blocked the abandoned warehouse during the battle. But she tried several times, but she didn't find any life reaction in that direction. Levy's battle with the strongest Heroic Spirit was a long one in his subjective sense, but it didn't take much time. But even then, there was enough for people or items inside the warehouse to be moved to a safe place, whether by magic or science.

"Dream Dream has gone in and seen it, nothing worth noting, I guess I've escaped, that Golden Heroic Master."

Kaguya's answer wasn't what Levi expected, and he could understand the reason for Yume, who was the least closely related to him in the group, to check it out. What puzzled him was the other party's actions.

Pure encounters that seem unplanned, leaving behind precious and powerful Heroic Spirits that were not aided until they died in battle.

In the situation just now, if the Spell was used to forcibly increase the abilities of the Heroic Spirits, it would not be impossible for a few hundred levies before Eve and the others arrived.

Could it be that the other party is timid by nature?

No, if he was a coward, he should have used the Spell to recall Gilgamesh after escaping to ensure his safety in the future. The information is insufficient, and there is no point in speculating, so it is more convenient and faster to ask directly.

"Claude, what the hell is going on?"

Lévy's sudden exit made Rin and the others rush inexplicably, only Eve and Yumemu were not surprised, and as soon as Lévy's words fell, they took a face-to-face posture, and Kaguya returned to Reisen, who had lost her combat effectiveness, faintly protecting her.

Following Levi's line of sight, Rin and the others rushed to the direction where they had come, a blonde man with a huge weapon behind him walked slowly. The opponents they had just met and had briefly met, of course, were not so forgetful.

"Wait. ”

Lévy reached out and grabbed Eve, who was about to rush forward, waiting for an answer.

"I'm just here to protect my Master."

Claude said, walking towards the idol girl who had fallen aside and had not yet woken up.

Eve, who was held by Levi's small hand, followed his figure and continued to be vigilant. In fact, long before Levi regained consciousness, he found out about Rider's arrival. After all, she occupies the rank of Assassin, and she has a sensitivity far beyond that of other Heroes. What's more, Claude didn't have the slightest intention of deliberately hiding it, Kaguya and Mengmeng had already discovered him, and the others didn't notice it, only blaming the difference in innate strength.

Just like Mikoto Misaka, even if she is a level 5 superpower person with super destructive power, when she doesn't use her superpowers, she is still an ordinary junior high school girl after all.

"But your Master once took the initiative to attack us. ”

Rin didn't witness the battle with his own eyes, and the fact that the other party appeared here was proof that he was on the same front as Gilgamesh.

"She doesn't have an attack order right now. ”

As ridiculous as it sounds, it is certainly impossible for the unconscious girl to give the order to attack her Servant. But this can be regarded as Claude's statement that he has no intention of making enemies of Lévy and others.

"Is that so? Then let's leave first, and take good care of your Master. ”

After a moment of silence, Levi suddenly turned around, regardless of Rin, who was about to ask something, and regardless of Claude, whose eyes were fixed on his silver-white hair, as if he was a little confused. He took Eve's hand and left in the other direction.

The contact was only once, but Lévi felt that he basically knew Claude's character. Serious, conscientious, with an almost pathological attachment to a sense of responsibility.

Without the Master's command, they will not attack their own side. The taciturn man made such a statement, which should also include the meaning of 'not revealing any information to himself unless ordered by the Master'.

Confronting such a stubborn and rigid guy is just a waste of time. Gilgamesh's Master must have some special purpose that would be enough for him to give up the purpose that a Heroic Spirit of the rank of Hero King must also achieve.

I have wasted too much time, and the other party is estimated to have been prepared, maybe he has achieved his goal.

Lévy faintly smelled a strange sensation coming from somewhere. Solving the problem of the Holy Grail is the priority. Now that Rin and the others have arrived, it is impossible to make them retreat. Aware of this, Levi is vigilant in the case and puts their safety first.

Before approaching Claude, Levi had already communicated with Eve through his mind. He learned from Eve that Yuna was in a state of being controlled by some kind of ability, and it was far faster to remove the control and directly kill the spell caster than to study it slowly. Coupled with the premonition in the dark, and what he knew about the early appearance of the Holy Grail in the last war, he judged that he had to stop the Master of the Hero King at this moment so as not to fall into an irreparable situation.

"Hey, where the hell are you going!"

Following Levi for a long distance, until he couldn't see the open space in front of the warehouse, Rin finally couldn't help but speak. From the moment Levi acted on her own, she had lost the opportunity to grasp the situation, and for the magician girl who was used to planning and acting, this situation made her very uneasy.

is different from Shirai Kuroko and Mikoto Misaka, who still don't know the truth and simply follow the action. Rin knows a lot about the Holy Grail War, and it is because of this understanding that she has more concerns.

The dominant player in the Holy Grail War is the Heroic Spirit, and the magician is only playing a supporting role. Although there are two special cases of Levi and Yuna, who have exceeded the standard of their own combat ability, it does not make Rin naïve to think that the Master of the Hero King belongs to the same situation.

Rin Tosaka certainly has reason to be upset about what a physically weak magician is willing to sacrifice for his soul, especially when the other party clearly knows the details of his own side. This shows that the opponent has a lot of confidence in the final victory!

"No matter who that Master is, no matter what he's going to do, it's definitely not going to be a good thing for us. It must be destroyed before he is ready!"

Levi didn't look back, and continued to pull Eve in the direction he had identified. Without waiting for Rin to continue asking, he spoke again.

"Kuroko, can you bring up the surveillance video two kilometers away in the direction we are heading?"

"I would have done it long ago! Almost all the surveillance systems in the vicinity are broken and completely paralyzed. ”

The tone was full of impatience, but Kuroko still picked up his phone and called the left-behind Hatsu to try again, as Lévy asked.

"Hey, can anyone tell me what I'm going to do now? I don't even know what's going on!"

Quicken the pace and run to Levi's side, Mikoto Misaka, who came to join in the fun without permission, as if she had just realized that she should know the ins and outs of tonight's events. For a girl who has never been exposed to supernatural phenomena other than superpowers, and Levy's abilities are also forcibly classified as special superpowers, Fang Cai's experience is more like a hyper-realistic outdoor stage performance, but the devastated earth makes it impossible for her to deceive herself like this all the time.

"I'll tell you the details slowly afterwards. To be honest, it's best if you're willing to go home and wait for me to tell you the story, but unfortunately that doesn't happen, right?"

"Of course, I don't know, but don't want to leave me behind!"

Hearing the short-haired girl's answer without any nervousness, not only Levi, but everyone present sighed helplessly in their hearts.

There is no denying the hard work and sweat that Mai Trin put in to reach the apex of level five, a superpower. But even if she has experienced a growth process that is several times more difficult than ordinary people,She's protected by the school city.,She can still only be called a flower in the greenhouse.。

Not to mention Levi and the three Heroes, Rin Tosaka, who has a natural talent and inherited a family of magicians at an early age, she has clearly understood the heavy shackles she carries since she lost her parents at a young age.

Even Kuroko Shirai, who also lives a campus life on the surface, has encountered many real dangers in the work of the Discipline Inspector, so she really can't be as optimistic as her sister.

"It's here!"

The narrow alleyway twists and turns, undoubtedly increasing the distance to the target location, but the two-kilometer journey is nothing to everyone, and after a short conversation and thinking, they have reached their destination unconsciously. Lévy stopped in front of a dilapidated five-story house that looked the same as the other nearby houses.

"There's a strange sense of dissonance, isn't it something like an enchantment?"

Instead of asking Kaguya, who was better in terms of strength and experience, Levi set his sights on Rin, who was more proficient in magic.

"It's a bit different from the general understanding of the enchantment arranged by the upsurge seal, and it's more like a spatial interference phenomenon caused by the simple and huge magic power of the Hero King...... It's not wrong to say it's an enchantment of unknown purpose!"

After saying a few words, she suddenly noticed that there were a few particularly dull eyes in the audience, and Rin realized that her explanation was too obscure for a layman who didn't know magic, and she reluctantly gave the simplest affirmative conclusion.

"I'm ...... Eve"

"No way!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Kuroko. She stared at Lévy, shook her head as if she had caught a repeat offender, and tossed her pigtails tied to her sides in the air.

"You want to do the same thing as you just did? Kuroko, I can't let a suspect who uses violence die before the trial. ”

"That's right, when I came, I promised your Lori wife that she would bring you back. I guess a few parts are missing, but that's a loss of credibility. ”

"Well, Mr. Levi is married?"

Kuroko and Rin are all about it, and even Mikoto is not willing to be lonely and runs up to join in the fun. Lévy didn't have time to look at her typical gossip girl's curious expression when she heard the big news, and the magic fluctuations not far away became more and more weird, making him a little nervous.

"I won't take the risk this time, not to mention that we are all here, it is impossible to let you go back, right? Eve and I are both good at concealment and escape speed, so it's okay to be careful and complete a reconnaissance job. It's better to get some information than to rush out and do it all together. ”

"But Mr. Levy should trust his companions more. With one more person and more strength, let me help a little. ”

Just when Rin thinks that what Lévy said is good and there is no reason to refute it, the pink short-haired princess, who has been silently following the action since Lévy woke up, suddenly runs out and causes trouble.

"Thank you for coming to my rescue. ”

Coming to Mengmeng's side, Levi reached out and gently touched the cute short pink hair.

"Hee-hee. ”

Suddenly attacked by seemingly intimate movements, Mengmeng did not shy and dodge like a girl of the same age, but gave Levi a cute and innocent smile.

"I'll be waiting here, and I'll invite you to dinner when I get back. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mengmeng felt the body temperature on the tips of her hair disappear. Instead of pestering them, Lévy simply disappeared from the crowd with his Servant.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

A few hundred meters away from Rin and the others, there was a twenty-story building. It is said that it is a high-rise building, but in fact, it can be seen everywhere in an ordinary modern metropolis. But although the school city has reached the peak of modernization, it is not common to see skyscrapers because it is an area with a majority of students. There are dormitories and teaching buildings with about 10 floors or even lower. With only 20 floors, this building is already very conspicuous.

"Nobody, Eve, did you find anything?"

A few hundred meters away from the place where he had fled, on the roof of a twenty-story building, Levi hid at the corner of the stairs leading to the rooftop to confirm with Eve. Levy, who is more confident in his perception ability, should not have doubted his own judgment. But the situation in front of him is really a bit weird, and he unconsciously wants to be corroborated by others.

"Nope. ”

Eve shook her little head slightly, affirming Levi's feelings.

The trickle of magic had not gone away, and it was not the work of an ordinary magician. After a few battles, Levi could clearly discern the unique magic fluctuations that belonged to the Heroic Spirit. He closed his eyes and felt carefully, and there were even two forces that he was very familiar with vaguely wafting in the air. Berserker, and the King of Heroes!

Not to mention that both of them died in front of him without a doubt, except for the fluctuation of magic power, there was nothing else, and not even the slightest sign of life could be found. The Heroic Spirit is not an ordinary life form, but in the past encounters, he can indeed feel the aura of existence, just like Eve who is standing beside him at this moment.

What Levi felt was more like the magic of the two heroic spirits, Gilgamesh and Hercules, being forcibly withdrawn from his body, but no one could control them, leaving them to drift away just a door away from him.

"Eve, Heroic Spirit...... What does it look like after death?"

"I don't know. ”

The expected answer is that Eve is a newbie who is participating in the Holy Grail War for the first time as a Heroic Spirit, and of course has no experience of being defeated or killed.

"The Holy Grail War is an infinite cycle. When the Immortal dies, it will return somewhere, where it will wait for the next summoning. ”

"Rin told you that?"

I thought it was over, but I didn't expect Eve to know more information.

"No, after becoming a Heroic Spirit, this information appears in my head. ”

"Really......"

If it comes out of Rin's mouth, then there is room for questioning. But Eve's words should be convincing. As she said, it was something that had been engraved into her memory out of thin air, probably the Holy Grail or some other will to control the war, the rules.

"There's no point in thinking about it here, why don't you just go out and have a look?"

Levi's hand patted the top of Eve's head, a kitten-soothing gesture he'd used on Evan for a long time. By the time he realized that the blonde girl beside him was not Evan, the hair under his hands had changed.

Bang!

The sound of a large crane at a construction site smashing steel bars with a giant hammer, Eve's blonde hair turned into a huge iron fist, smashing the iron door to the rooftop into the air.

It wasn't himself who smashed it, Levi rejoiced in his heart as he stretched his head towards the artificially dug hole.

The rooftop is an ordinary open plan design, with no place for people to hide. Anyway, if there is someone, it will be the result of being discovered immediately after going out, so it is better to create some chaos to distract the other party's attention. Lévy agrees with Eve's actions, but it is unknown if the girl herself has ever made such considerations as he does now. But there is one thing that must be noted. The iron fist that almost smashed him into the air made him determined to find an opportunity to tell this partner well when he returned, in case the tragedy of accidentally injuring a friendly soldier really happened one day.

Leaping out of the hole without the protection of the iron door, Lévy performed a series of dodge moves in the air, aiming the muzzle of the gun at the center of the magic field he had locked onto with his senses!

After a wonderful set of killer standard basic skills demonstrated, Levi took a closer look after landing on the ground, only to find that he had become a comedian without an audience.

Although he had always found it hard to believe, the facts before him once again confirmed Levi's accurate senses.

On the empty roof, apart from him and Eve, who slowly stepped out behind him, the two moonlit figures, there were no other lifeforms at all, let alone any enemies or opponents.

However, it refers only to the life of human beings that have not yet exceeded the scope of human cognition, and it is not true to say that there is nothing. Standing next to Eve's trait passage, the titular master and servant stared in amazement at the middle of the rooftop, where Levi's muzzle was aimed.

"Eve...... I'm not dazzled, am I?"

When we see something beyond the general concept, human beings will always subconsciously doubt and tend to deny. Lévi rubbed his eyes and asked Eve, who was beside him.

"Well, that's a ...... Cups?"

The blonde girl's expressionless face was rarely surprised and sluggish, but it was a pity that Levy's gaze was taken away by the strange scene in front of him, and he missed the perfect opportunity to admire Eve's unexpectedly cute appearance.

On the roof of a high-rise building at night in the school city,A vortex composed of a large amount of magic slowly rotates in the sky。 And in the center of the whirlpool, where a soft halo is emitted, an object that looks like a Japanese teacup floats silently, turning twice with the magic vortex from time to time.

"Isn't this the Holy Grail?"

Lévi looked back at Eve, the blonde girl in black's expression had returned to her unwavering state, and her wide-open ruby eyes vaguely revealed a hint of curiosity or surprise in her heart.

"Possibly. ”

What is the most important thing in the Holy Grail War?

It's not about simply entangling and fighting with the Heroic Spirits, nor is it about pulling out the magicians who are hiding or hiding behind the scenes or standing in the foreground. No war is without reason, and it cannot be called a 'war' unless it is for a clear purpose.

Grail.

Obtaining the Holy Grail is the goal of the Holy Grail War!

Everything that happened in this week revolves around the ownership of the Holy Grail. The wish-fulfillment machine, which claims to be able to grant any wish, is the only reason for the existence of battlefield war.

The pursuit of victory, the capture of the Holy Grail, and the fulfillment of wishes are the common will of almost all Heroic Spirits. The ending that she had seen in her dreams so suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and a strong sense of unreality filled Eve's thoughts, as if it were more false than a dream.

"The Holy Grail is supposed to be British, right? Even if it's just a name, at least it shouldn't be a Japanese-style teacup...... Do as the locals do?"

"Possibly. ”

In a brief trance, the blonde girl was awakened by Levy's voice. Focusing on her pupils, she reconfirmed it with her eyes full of thoughts, and reached out her small hand in her sleeve to hold the other's big hand.

Even though the hair that used to be messy and ridiculed by himself turned silver, the familiar body temperature has been clearly conveyed to him.

That's right, he's around.

"Eve?"

Wondering why he suddenly grabbed his hand, Levi thought something was unexpected, and turned his head, only to see his Servant's face with an undetectable smile.

"I haven't seen the Holy Grail with my own eyes, so let's call Rin Tosaka. ”

For me now, the Holy Grail is no longer important. Eve let go of the urge she had when she first saw the Holy Grail, but gently held Levi's hand, still connecting with each other. She will not give up this hard-won warmth.

"Well, while it's strange where the guy who summoned this thing has gone, at least it doesn't seem dangerous, so I'll call them over. ”

Having also gone through the ridiculous surprise at first, Lévy didn't quite know what the girl was thinking, but he wasn't an idiot who would put on a showmanship in such a situation.

He pretended not to notice the little hand holding him, and pulled his phone out of his pocket as he inserted the black decorative gun back into the wall at his waist.

"Hey. ”

"How's the situation?!It seems that there was an explosion reaction just now, did you encounter the enemy?!How many opponents are there?!Are you injured?!"

As soon as the dial tone fell, a loud barrage of artillery exploded in the earpiece, and Levi almost threw away his phone in a hurry. He moved his phone more than 30 centimeters away, which alleviated the inhumane treatment of his eardrums.

"Calm down, I'm not going to be so bored in the fight to call you? nothing happened, we're safe...... It should be so. ”

It wasn't until the noise in the form of radio waves finally stopped that Levi brought his phone closer and replied with a strange expression on his face.

"Really? So from just now, it hasn't stopped, where did the magic that is getting stronger and stronger come from? You shouldn't have been kidnapped and don't dare to talk nonsense, right?"

Levi realized that the girl he had grown up with had such a rich imagination. He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of being like someone who happened to be in line for business at the time of a bank robbery and was unlucky enough to be held hostage by the robbers. It wasn't until Eve took his hand and strained himself that he realized that the phone was still waiting.

"Miss Tosaka, who will come and kidnap me. As for the magic......"

"Wait, let Eve answer the phone, you're a repeat offender, and your credibility is too low. ”

"Hey, what a repeat offender, this is red. Bare. Naked slander!"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"

After arguing for a few sentences, Levy gave up. Although they seem to be in no danger for the time being, it is undeniable that they are thrown in the midst of an inexplicable strange event. It's too indulgent, and it might cause some surprises. He handed the phone to Eve, and without any other explanation, Rin's voice was so loud that the conversation could be heard from ten meters away.

“……”

"Eve?"

Hearing Rin's voice, Eve nodded. Seeing this scene, Levi almost couldn't help but laugh again.

Are they not used to using telephones? No way, in the past, the place where they existed was much more advanced in technology than in this world, and who could not have been in contact with communication equipment? Especially in the business of doing their killers.

Probably a knee-jerk move. I didn't apply for a video call, so how could the other party understand it just by nodding my head.

"Hmm. ”

Lévi patted Eve's little head, and the girl looked at herself suspiciously, and then suddenly opened her mouth to respond.

"Is what Levy just said true?"

"Well, really. ”

Hearing Eve's answer, Levi took the phone from her hand again.

"Our esteemed student elders, believe it now, right?"

"Hmph, guess you don't dare to lie to us again. What the hell did you find?"

It is estimated that she also feels that although this magic is huge, it is extremely peaceful and stable, and even reveals some comfortable warmth, so she subconsciously thinks of it in a non-dangerous direction. If it's really an emergency, how can Rin waste her time on nonsense and bickering?

Levi looked up to confirm the scene in front of him, hesitating as to describe it appropriately.

"I thought, probably, maybe, that we've found the Holy Grail. ”

……

"What!! what did you just say!?"

It shouldn't be that I didn't hear it, after all, it's too unbelievable. If you had encountered a similar situation -- the goal that you had been pursuing and striving for for ten years suddenly looked at, and in a very unexpected and simple way, you would definitely not be able to believe it.

"I mean an object that appears to be the Holy Grail was found. However, neither Eve nor I have seen the real thing, so there is no way to confirm it. You haven't seen it yet, but you're probably more familiar with it than we are. Anyway, you come here first, there is no danger here for the time being. ”

"Okay, you wait......"

Click.

Before he could finish speaking, he hung up the phone, and the student president, who had always been calm and exemplary, became so anxious that Levi recalled that he had never seen her like this a few times.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Levi found a relatively clean place nearby to sit down, and Eve's hand had been pulling him since just now, so naturally he sat down with him.

Under the starry sky with the moon high and the warm breeze in the gentle breeze, a young man and woman sitting alone on the roof of a high-rise building were originally reminiscent of romantic love. But if the man and woman are not in a relationship, it will be a little embarrassing. Especially since the woman is still a reticent personality who almost never takes the initiative to speak, Levi has tried his best to simulate various opening lines in his fantasy, but he has never been able to find a suitable topic. It was then that he noticed movement around him.

"Eve?"

A few strands of slender blonde hair slowly floated up. The wind on the roof wasn't strong enough to blow the hairstyle up, and it was in the exact opposite direction. I saw Eve's long hair combine into two cable-like things, stretching straight ahead.

"Trying to receive information. ”

Levi remembered the fact that Eve had been implanted with nanomachines.

Machines that cannot be seen with the naked eye and cannot be seen with a magnifying glass can be used to change their body structure to adapt to various forms of combat, and are said to be able to perform ultra-high-speed calculations similar to those of a computer, which are extremely convenient for analyzing intelligence and breaking defenses to infiltrate strongholds.

If you had such a partner when you were a killer in the past, you should be able to easily complete the task of invading the enemy's headquarters and assassinating senior leadership personnel, right?

Levi was in the mood to pass the time before Rin and the others arrived, looking at the cable that was slowly moving towards the 'Holy Grail'. At the same time, the weapon that is put back in the holster is drawn in case of a special situation.

"Danger!"

The two cables turned into blonde hair seemed to hit a transparent wall before they were about to touch the 'Holy Grail', and two ripples rippled in the air. As the blonde hair was blocked, the magic that was waving around tightened for a moment, and Levi hurriedly stood up and took a step forward, protecting the girl behind him.

"The basic defense mechanism, as long as it is not forced to break through, should not cause a counterattack. ”

Levy's action of getting up just now shook off the little hand that Eve had been holding him. Looking down and stealing a glance at the palm that still had residual body temperature, Eve grabbed the corner of Levi's coat and shook it slightly, reassuring him.

The long hair stayed where it touched the wall, and began to receive the message transmitted through the magic. The girl who stood behind Lévi with her eyes closed seemed to be praying quietly to receive a message from the 'Holy Grail'.

"What did you find?"

Seeing that the blonde had finally left the wall that served as a protective shield, Levi asked with a hint of anticipation.

"I can analyze the magic content that matches Berserker and Archer. Plus, you and Caster...... It seems that all the people who participated in the battle tonight have absorbed some of their strength and stayed here. ”

I see......

The answer given by Eve is basically consistent with her own perception, except that the power of Reisen and Kaguya and others is also absorbed. During the battle, Lévy did not perceive that the power in his body had been forcibly seized.

Perhaps the other party had set up a huge magic array covering the entire Strange area in advance, gathering the energy scattered in the air after the attack was sent out.

The mere collection of energy is understandable no matter what he wants to do. But there are no defenses, they are simply exposed to the enemy, and they don't know where to run. Faced with this 'trap', which didn't look like a well-planned 'trap' at all times, Lévy gave up on wasting brain cells.

Faintly hearing footsteps coming from across the floor below, Levi turned to look at Eve's creation, 'It's been here, it's better to leave the headache to the experts.'

"Yo, Reizen, is your body okay?"

The first to jump out of the hole was a bunny monster who was in a coma like himself some time ago. Compared to Rin Tosaka and Mikoto Misaka, who have similar physical abilities to ordinary people, Reisen, who has the dual identity of a monster and a heroic spirit, will not lose to them. Combined with the conscientious and loyal personality of this young girl, it is most reasonable for her to take the lead.

As for Kuroko Shirai, who also has the ability to move in space as Levy, it is estimated that it is to protect her sister-sama, and she disdains to race against Reisen.

Of course, the meaning of protection is ......

"Reizen!

The girl who landed on the ground didn't wait for Levi to finish greeting, raised her hand and charged an energy bullet, and was about to fire at the 'Holy Grail' floating in mid-air. Unexpectedly, this well-behaved girl also had such an impulsive side, and Levi hurriedly rushed up to grab her hand in a pistol position.

"Ah, Mr. Levy, that ......"

"I haven't decided what that thing is, why did it suddenly become reckless, what if it's a trap?"

"I'm sorry ......"

Sure enough, he was a good student, and after listening to Levi's words, Reizen immediately apologized in shame. It would be nice if the girls around me were so well-behaved. Lévy also knew that it would always be just a delusion.

Reizen's impulse is not difficult to understand. As a subordinate, he fainted when the princess still couldn't guarantee his safety, and he had to take care of Kaguya. If you want to change to someone with a stronger sense of responsibility, I'm afraid that you will have to commit suicide when the time comes.

"Rin, do you think this thing is going to be a holy grail?"

The purple-haired girl lowered her head, her heart knot would not be able to untie in a while, not to mention that this was Kaguya's job, not her own. Levi let go of Suzusen's hand and pointed to the Japanese-style teacup floating in the air, which was more ridiculous than weird. It's better to solve this matter first, and let Kaguya enlighten this little rabbit when you get home.

"Impossible!"

Rin Tosaka, who was staring at the teacup, was full of surprise, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. It seems that the impact of this thing on the experts is far greater than that of ordinary participants like Levi.

"And in the texts you've read, there's a detailed description of the real Holy Grail?"

"Holy Grail...... A legendary treasure that fulfills all the wishes of its holders. ”

His eyes were straight ahead, and Rin's expression didn't look like he was answering Levi's question. It is as if the vague part of the memory is restored to the language of human beings, and it is chanted in the manner of a mantra, without inhibition or frustration.

"The vessel is used as the catalyst for the chalice, and the ritual of séance is used to cause it to fall into the vessel. The ritual of the Divine Grail Summoning requires seven magicians, but the owner is one, and it is a spirit, so humans cannot touch it. The source of its power is the soul of the Heroic Spirit, the magic power. ”

The superpowered beautiful girl duo who finally rushed to the top of the building, Kuroko Shirai and Mikoto Misaka, just arrived at the scene and heard the esoteric speech that was confusing, and felt that there should be more to them, so they didn't interrupt rashly, and stood aside waiting for someone else's explanation.
