However, in the anxious exchange of information between Abner and Rin Tosaka, the person at the center of the situation, Mina Tosaka, is sitting in a small restaurant, happily bringing the food called "raw fried buns" to her mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For a girl, a foreign girl, a foreign girl who still likes to eat, Chinese food is always a core topic.

Watching the master paste one after another small and cute buns with white flowers in the round cake-like iron pot, intuitively feeling the golden color of their fried bottoms, and watching a handful of sesame seeds and green onions sprinkled on it, Mina Tosaka couldn't help but swallow her saliva, secretly praising herself for being the right choice to eat something before summoning the Heroic Spirit.

On the plastic signboard at the door, the four Chinese characters of "Shanghai Food" are slapped on it, for a foreigner, there are only a few famous cities in China, Beijing, Shanghai and so on.

This is similar to the advertising effect, why does the store know that the audience will not pay too much attention to the content of the TV commercial, but still shoot the TV commercial as if it were a life?

This is a psychological statistic: when ordinary people shop, they tend to be more willing to buy things that they have [heard]. There are two types of toothpaste, one is the black toothpaste that is often advertised on TV, and the other is a small brand with no name, and the statistics show that the people who buy the big brands make up the absolute majority.

In the same way, a girl who knows nothing about China feels a sense of affection when she hears the name Shanghai.

is completely different from the imperial posture of her grandmother who is thousands of miles away, and Mina Tosaka's state can only be described as enjoyment. The beauty inherited from her grandmother, the smooth blonde hair inherited from her father, and the excellent sense of happiness that comes from the delicious food all make this young girl exude a dazzling brilliance that cannot be ignored.

The crispy dough is filled with the rich flavor of the pork, and the sesame seeds sprinkled on it and the gravy on the tongue are a great contrast to the usual coldness of spring nights, and the sense of well-being is accentuated.

Happiness is not an eternal solid, but a dynamic that is constantly changing, especially when it comes to contrast. Drinking water when you are thirsty, eating when you are hungry, and finding a bed when you are sleepy, although it is dull, this is happiness. Although drinking water, eating, and sleeping are not very happy things. The focus is on "contrast".

It's a little strange that Mina Tosaka still doesn't look in a hurry even though it's past the time when the spiritual vein is most active (0 o'clock), as if it's not a big deal to miss the most active time of the spiritual vein.

Ah, it's really worthy of being the inheritor of the Tosaka family, the demeanor of the Demon Dao everyone, even if you don't occupy that kind of cleverness, you can easily win the Holy Grail War, it must be with this kind of surplus mentality that Mina Tosaka will be so happy to taste the snack bar in the middle of the night, right?

However, in the eyes of the shopkeeper, this means something else. The old man frowned, saying a lot of things in Chinese, and the concern was evident on his face. But Mina Tosaka didn't listen to a word - she didn't understand Chinese, and she couldn't understand it, so why listen to it?

Looking at the old man's concerned look, Mina speculated that he probably thought he was a runaway and was trying to persuade himself to go home, right?

There are still many good people in the world. She sighed so emotionally, stuffed the last raw fry on the plate into her mouth, threw down a slurred "thank you", exhaled the hot air, and ran away while paying.

It was cold in the city of Asaki in spring, but the boiling temperature in the girl's chest was enough to resist the harsh cold, and the blood in her chest was overflowing with the blood that was about to participate in the Holy Grail War, enough to make the girl ignore everything else.

Like what......

"Hmph, in another hour, it will be the best moment for spiritual vein activity."

She confidently took out her smartphone, and with a slight touch of her slender and white fingers, she sensed the owner's fingerprint, and the smartphone quickly unlocked the screen protector and showed the male movie star on the cover.

She checked the numbers on the screen, and it was exactly 11:06 p.m., one hour short of 0:00, when the spirit veins were most active! Easy and easy.

The family motto of the Tosaka family is to be elegant at all times. So Mina specially set aside an hour of free time, ready to find a place with abundant spiritual veins and summon her own heroic spirit.

Of course, the relics have been prepared for a long time.

Prepare perfectly before going to war, well, very much with the Tosaka family's approach! Get ready for battle, then enter the battle gracefully and get the Holy Grail with grace! Then elegantly let grandma admit that she is already a magician of the Tosaka family! How elegant is that!

Mina's plump chest was brimming with pride.

Indeed, this is very much in line with the Tosaka family's approach.

In particular, until now, Mina has not noticed the "time difference between China and Japan".

Fifty years ago, when Rin Tosaka summoned the Heroic Spirit Archer, she made a similar mistake, because the magic was out of balance, causing the family's watch to be 1 hour faster - and then Miss Tosaka completely forgot about it, so she didn't summon the ...... when she was at her best

Earlier, his maternal great-grandfather, Tosaka Shichen, was also too proud and complacent, and believed too much in his "disciple" Yan Feng Qili, which finally led to the death of someone.

The family motto of the Tosaka family (hidden version): The most important details will definitely be missed at the most critical time.

However, none of these Mina will know.

Today, Mina has done a lot of things.

Buying tickets from the airport from the ticket vending machine is a headache in itself, and it seems that her grandmother has passed on Mina not only for her beauty, but also for her lack of mechanical skills. Even with the help of the friendly airport staff, Mina almost cried out of her high-tech anger.

Then finding the boarding gate was also a matter of even more pain for her, and the crowded airport hall was like a maze of human flesh, and Mina almost didn't have time to find her flight.

Then as soon as she got off the plane, she began to look for the holy relics, and only now did she have time to eat something to fill her rumbling stomach.

Mina thought very clearly, if she started to search for the holy relics in Japan, she was afraid that she would be caught by her grandmother, and when the time came, she was afraid that her grandmother would not let herself run around anymore, and she wanted her grandmother to admit that she was alone, so it was very early!

So, she decided to go to the battlefield first, and then look for the holy relics on the spot. I heard that China is an ancient civilization, and there are countless museums and exhibitions, so you can just look for them when the time comes.

The moment she became a master, she gained the corresponding [Basic Knowledge], and she was very clear about the corrective effect of [Popularity] on the power of the Heroic Spirit. Since the battlefield is in China, it is natural that the Chinese heroic spirits will be widely known.

Mina clutched something wrapped in yellow cloth in her arms, grinning and walking towards the node where the dragon veins flowed.

It was a tiara.

In ancient China, men used ornaments to tie their hair.

The golden exterior wall is painted with delicate patterns, and just looking at it makes you realize the exquisite workmanship.

It's Mina stealing ...... No, this was exchanged by Mina without telling the original owner, while the original owner and the security guard did not find out.

The reason for getting this crown is quite tortuous.

This is Mina's starting from a "Three Kingdoms Exhibition". Take advantage of the darkness of the night and use magic to sneak in. The tight security system is defenseless in the face of magic that completely ignores scientific principles. Mina slipped in with ease.

The book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, even Mina heard about it when she was in Germany, which shows its popularity, it is said that there may be people in China who have not read the Three Kingdoms, but there will be no one who does not know the Three Kingdoms.

In other words, no matter which military general in the Three Kingdoms is summoned, he will definitely receive the correction of [Popularity] and turn into a fierce general.

Not to mention......

Even though Mina is Japanese...... No, it should be said that it is precisely because Mina is Japanese that she is very clear about the culture of the Three Kingdoms, especially anime and games.

Known as the unparalleled fierce man in the world, the hero Lu Bu Fengxian is her goal. What she held in her hand was the crown that she had quietly exchanged from within.

If you often read comics, you can still recognize simple Chinese characters such as "Three Kingdoms" and "Lu Bu".

Of course, Mina didn't take it in vain, she used her own transfer magic to simulate a crown with the yellow gem she carried with her, as long as someone didn't touch it herself, she wouldn't find the problem.

With this golden crown, you will definitely be able to summon the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms! When the time comes, the Holy Grail will be in the bag!

Thinking like this, Mina Tosaka's faster and faster pace is simply a small jump!

So, not long after, there was an urban legend in Shallow Creek: the red female ghost who jumps and jumps in the middle of the night will make a ghostly humming laugh, and must not be approached. In short, it is a similar legend.

But that's another story.

By the way, if Mina can know a few more Chinese characters, she will know that the banner of the exhibition reads "2045 version of "New Romance of the Three Kingdoms" props exhibition hall", which is actually to stir up popularity for the rebroadcast of the TV series.

The crown in her hand is just a TV series prop, and it's not worth her so much trouble exchanging it for gems, the actual value of this thing is 6,000 yen, even if the boss deliberately cheats people, it will be 30,000 yen at most, which is completely inconsistent with the value of the gem full of magic.

However, for summoning Heroic Spirits, [Connection] is more important than [Authenticity].

Now, Mina came to the meeting point of the spiritual veins, and after laying the barrier to expel the idlers, she began her summoning in an orderly manner.

The raw fried buns that I had just eaten were full and slowly converted into their own energy in the stomach, and the scorching magic power gushed out of the magic circuit, and in the middle of the séance formation, the golden crown was placed in the center, and Mina's abundant magic power followed the path of the formation, and indeed merged into it.

The mantra was sung in the slightest, and the speech was clear. Before the summoning, he had also taken care of his appearance, and he would definitely be able to leave a good first impression on the Heroic Spirit.

Perfect.

Aside from the time difference between China and Japan, Mina Tosaka's preparation was flawless.

"- The seven heavens that entangle your three great words and spirits come from the wheel of restraint, the guardian of the scale!"

Perfectly completed the chant, the qualifications of the Holy Grail War Imperial Three Families are definitely not fake.

The flow of magic is even more exaggerated than that of Tsukahara Mingshi.

If Archer shows up, it's a storm.

Then, when Mina summons, what she calls is a tsunami.

The magic like the tide poured out of the array seal like a fountain, surging in all directions, and the earthy yellow magic torrent mixed with the scorching smell of fire shook Mina's flowing blonde hair sharply, drawing a dazzling arc in the air.

In this sea of magic, the sound of horses' hooves is the only sound.

Trampling on the dust, the pitch-black hooves were covered with red hair.

It was a two-meter-tall steed, its strong muscles stirring up a roar, and its slender neck was softly draped with red sideburns, some of which were bound by a gorgeous saddle, and at the back was a man sitting upright on a horse. He was too tall, like a god, and his magic power made him seem to radiate dazzling light all over his body.

Dressed in hardcover armor, the head of the beast swallows the shoulders, and the whole person gives full play to the word gorgeous. Holding a strangely shaped "spear" in his hand, the very powerful hero rode his horse and galloped forward, the horse's hooves stepped angrily, and the earth shattered. Faced with this scene, even the newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers can't help but feel the taste of deterrence.

"Lu Fengxian, who is unparalleled in the world, responded to the convening with the rank of a rider. Scold...... It seems that the one who summoned me is a pretty cute master. ”
