Fuyuki Civic Hall

This facility, which costs a total of 8 billion yen, is a symbol of the development of Fuyuki Shinto, along with the project of the station center building. Covering an area of 6,600 square meters and a construction area of 4,700 square meters, it is a hybrid structure with four floors above ground and one floor underground. The two-story concert hall can accommodate more than 3,000 people. The new design of the architect makes this modern civic hall as magnificent and majestic as an ancient shrine, and it is from here that Fuyuki City's ambition to develop a new city can be seen.

However, only the exterior has been completed, and the interior is currently being renovated for the inauguration, but the actual use is much more distant. With minimal safety measures and no power supply, the clean and magnificent building becomes a space with a strange sense of unreality in the middle of the night when there are no staff.

Of course, there is no magic element in the city's building plans. The construction site of the Civic Hall was chosen on the latest spiritual vein of Fuyuki, which was completely accidental and changed to a different view, and the ability to incur this rare accident was also due to the specificity of the spirit of this place.

Yan Feng Qili stood on the roof, his expression calmly watching the magic signal he emitted drift smoke in the night wind. To invade this unguarded building, it was only necessary to break the locks, and the preparations for the ceremony and the attack were ready. Next, just sit back and wait for the remnants of the enemy who are attracted by the signal.

The battle approached, but he remained silent. For the surrogate, there is no need to get excited about the premonition of bloodshed, and there is no need to laugh about the tension. They possess the perfect conditions to be instruments of divine will, and they go to their deaths with only the ordinary intention of completing their tasks. This long study has enabled Qili to show the calmness and indifference of a clinician.

But

"Hmph, you're still with such a cold face tonight, Qili. 」

Archer, who walked up to the roof with a soothing footwork, teased, and Qili's heart cried and laughed. What does this expressionless face, as usual, look like to the all-knowing Heroic Spirit? Even the ups and downs of emotions that even he can't perceive can't escape the eyes of the heroic spirit.

Although her mind was shaken at first, Qili is now used to it. Yes, it turns out that he is so cold, he just understands himself like he treats other people's affairs.

The Hero King, who had just returned from the street market at night, was still dressed in luxurious and frivolous casual clothes, and his crimson eyes were full of enjoyment, and there was no sense of urgency at all as the battle was approaching. However, for this Heroic Spirit, it is impossible to separate the outward appearance from the inner heart. The decisive battle around the Holy Grail seemed to him to be just a game.

"What do you want me to do next, Qili? Just wait here?"

A single command could have caused Archer to question the Master's qualifications, and Qili, who knew this clearly, shook her head after thinking for a while.

"If you unleash your power near the Holy Grail, the ritual will be in danger, so if you want to have fun, take the initiative. 」

"Hmm, okay. But if I'm attacked here while I'm not here, what are you going to do?"

"Let the berserker hold off the enemy, and I'll take the opportunity to summon you back, and then I'll have to use the power of the Command, won't you?"

"Yes, but I can't guarantee the safety of the Holy Grail. I'm not going to show mercy tonight, this cramped room might be completely destroyed. 」

"That's the worst of all, but that's fate. 」

Qili nodded dryly, but Archer's eyes narrowed.

"Qili, it seems that you understand the meaning of war, but still you don't have the wish to place your hopes on the Holy Grail, and there is no hope for a miracle?"

"yes, so what?"

"It's not finished yet, but it's already in your hands. Now, we may be accepting the long-cherished "pre-appointment". 」

"Hmph, I see. Are you saying, if possible, that at the same time as the Holy Grail comes, a miracle happens immediately? 」

Qili talked uninterestedly.

"If you have to say it, I hope there won't be irrelevant people in the final battle. Helplessly, the neighborhood is full of residents. If I could, I'd love to win where no one is around. 」

Hearing this completely uninteresting answer, Gilgamesh said disdainfully.

"Alas, what you hide in your heart can only be speculated from the vicinity of the Holy Grail. 」

As a result, even though these two men were closer to the Holy Grail than anyone else, they didn't care about it more than anyone else. It makes more sense for them to expel those who have gathered for it than to receive the Holy Grail.

"Ah, and if Saber shows up before I get back. 」

Before leaving, the Hero King stopped on a whim.

"When the time comes, let Berserker play with her for the time being. The reason why the mad dog's life was left was for this time. 」

"Understood. 」

Qili still hasn't figured out why Archer is obsessed with Saber. However, as for the Berserker, who was clamoring to destroy the Hero King due to the cause of the first battle, after learning his real name through the investigation of the Wild Goose Night, the Hero King allowed his existence instead, saying that "it's a pleasure to let that dog bite Saber", and that the Hero King was able to control his anger whenever he encountered something related to her, and it seems that Gilgamesh was very concerned about the Knight King.

"Speaking of which, Kirley. What happened to the puppet that Saber had given his life to protect? I heard that something called the Holy Grail Vessel was in there. 」

"Ah, you mean that. 」

Regarding its existence, Qili did not want to mention it. Now, he had no interest in it, and he didn't even need to remember the woman's name.

"I just killed it. There was no reason for her to continue living. 」
