Chapter 18: The Magicians Who Collectively Make Up the Round
"It is reported that last night there was an unexplained collapse accident in the warehouse of Weiyuanchuan Seaport, and the scene was seriously damaged, but fortunately, because it was late at night, there were no casualties. www.biquge.info Now, with the coordination of the government departments, preliminary plans have been drawn up for the restoration work, and it is expected that the harbour will be ready for reopening soon. After the beautiful and generous female announcer finished speaking, she said to a bald uncle next to her with a sweet smile: "Mr. Tanaka, as an expert in architecture, can you explain to us the cause of this collapse?"
Mr. Tanaka nodded: "Okay, then I'll be ugly." First of all, the Weiyuanchuan harbor warehouse was built in the 80s, and it has been more than 10 years ago, so ......"
"Knock knock!" suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The man with his head bandaged stood up and opened the door.
A capable woman with short hair and a good look stood outside the door.
"Did you bring anything?" the man asked.
"Whatever I can find, I've brought. The short-haired woman nodded, and lifted the white plastic bag in her hand, on which were printed the words "Shueisha Co., Ltd."
The man moved out of the way, and the woman entered the room.
It's a modest double room in a normal hotel, with two beds, a shower with hot water at all times, and a cable TV with 60 channels...... Ah, forgot to mention, there's also a video player.
Such an ordinary place, but it is the hiding place of Saber, the strongest job agent of the Holy Grail War, and the hiding place of Emiya Kiritsugu.
The reason why my head is bandaged is because I was injured last night. Archer was knocked out by Berserker and crashed into the harbor loading bridge, where he happened to be hiding to his death.
If it weren't for his stunt, he wouldn't have just suffered a head injury at this moment.
Masater, who was stoned to death, was afraid that he would be recorded in history because of this...... Or as the only casualty, he appeared in the news just now.
Either way, it wasn't what he wanted.
The short-haired woman is named Maiya Kuyu and is his assistant.
She poured the contents of the bag onto the bed, crackling a large pile, in addition to the black videotape, novels, comics, and many other things.
Emiya Kiritsugu frowned: "So many?"
"Well, this article, Gaiden, SP, theatrical version, general collection, manga, novel, setting collection...... I don't know much about the culture of the second dimension, so I simply bought them back at the recommendation of the store. Sorry, I seem to have taken matters into account. ”
Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head: "No, you didn't do anything wrong, the more complete the information, the better." ”
Maiya Kuyu picked up a tape and asked, "So, do you want to start with the anime?"
"Yes. ”
The TV was switched to video mode, the VCR was turned on, and the "Toshiba" logo appeared on it. Maiya Kuyu pushed the tape into the machine, and after a short black screen, a cartoon character of a Q version of a woman wearing a samurai costume appeared on the screen, and said in a vibrant voice: "When watching, please keep the room bright and at least 3 meters away from the TV!"
Kuyu Maiya asked with a serious face, "Do you do it?"
Emiya Kiritsugu thought for a moment: "Well, let's do it, maybe it's some kind of essential condition." ”
The interior lights were turned on, but the distance of 3 meters seemed a bit difficult to reach.
"Push the bed away!" said Emiya Kiritsugu categorically. As a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends, how could he be stumped by such a trivial matter.
"Yes!"
The two of them moved together, pushed the two beds apart, and then sat down close to the corner of the wall, which was enough to meet the "3 meters" requirement. After all, Japan is too small.
After a burst of OP with both blood and tenderness, a line of subtitles was typed: Rogue Yingluo!
A beautiful woman with long hair flowing and wearing a samurai costume appeared on the screen with a smile.
Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuyu Maiya each held a small notebook in their hands, staring intently at the flickering TV images like students who were making key points before an exam.
No one may believe it, but most of the participants in the Holy Grail War, noble magicians, are now doing the same thing as Emiya Kiritsugu.
They think it's a means of getting information, but if you put it in the circle, it's undoubtedly making up for it.
At the largest video store in Higashiki City, two clerks are chatting.
"It's so strange, has "Drifter Hero" been released in theater again?"
"What's wrong?"
"Today, in one day, five or six waves of people came to consult, and in the end, they bought not only anime, OVAs, manga and novels, but even canonical collections and other things that few people care about. ”
"That's not good? You kid can get a lot of money today, right?"
"Hehe, it's all the blessing of Lord Toyingluo. ”
"Damn, this villain's face, Lord Yingluo will definitely raise his knife and cut off your head when he sees it!"
"Was it beheaded by Lord Yingluo?" The man showed a longing expression, two lines of nosebleeds flowed from his nostrils, and he said tremblingly: "When I think of Lord Yingluo looking at me like garbage, I get goosebumps all over my body!"
"Haha, you pervert!"
"Isn't it natural for men to be perverted?"
The conversation continued, but they were surprised to find a long-haired woman with sunglasses standing in front of the counter at some point.
Oops, did you hear what you just said, you're going to be complained about now, right?
The two of them were apprehensive for a while.
But unexpectedly, the woman didn't plan to delve into it, but asked, "I have about 4 hours of free time, do you have any product recommendations to pass the time?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes!
The woman shrugged her shoulders: "No, don't be that kind of love and love, it's better to have a little fight." ”
Then we recommend the manga "Rogue Heroes", which mainly depicts the story of a female swordsman who traveled around Japan during the dark ages at the end of the Edo period, wielding a sword for the people. ”
The corners of the woman's mouth twitched a few times, scratched her face and said, "I always feel a little ...... Isn't there anything else to recommend?"
"This work is really good, although it is a female protagonist, but it does not involve too much love, but more describes the inseparable feelings with relatives and friends, and it is a very heart-warming work. ”
Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, the clerk also broke the news, he lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Moreover, it is said that there is a shocking secret here." ”
"What's the secret?" the woman was clearly intrigued.
"That's right, you must know about the Yingluo Restoration more than a hundred years ago. Although there is a saying that there was the Yingluo Restoration first, and the virtual character of Rogue Yingluo was created under this name. But now more and more people believe that the causal relationship has been artificially replaced. ”
"Oh, how do you say?"
A fan of "Drifter" is a professor of history at a university, and he once published an article saying that Rongue Youngfall really existed in history, and it was because of her that Sozo Soraku embarked on the road of reform, so he used this name to name the new era that followed. But for unquestionable reasons, this deed was artificially covered up, and instead became a wild history and was forgotten by everyone. ”
Why can't I take the test?
The corners of the woman's mouth curled, probably because she had a lot of strength when she beat him.
Xiangle Zongsan, this guy, sometimes, is still as stupid as the wooden scholar in the countryside back then.
"Then give me a set of "Drifter Heroes". ”
"Okay. ”
The woman was carrying the bag and stopped abruptly when she walked to the door.
"What about you, do you think Yingluo is real?"
The clerk was stunned for a moment, and then nodded firmly: "Of course, Lord Yingluo has always been real, and she will always be in our hearts." ”
"Haha, thank you so much!" the woman said and walked out.
The clerk scratched his head strangely: "I should say thank you for your patronage, right, what a strange guest." ”
