Humanity must be ready to accept all new ideas about the universe and its true situation in this tumbling and sealed temporal vortex. The mere mention of all this www.biquge.info is enough to make people stunned. But more importantly, humanity must be prepared to confront a special, lurking danger that, while it cannot devour all of humanity, can inflict weirdness and terror on some of them—H.P. Lovecraft.

――Winterwood Church, Basement -

Crystal balls, fabrics, and magic circles carved on the ground, Caster was alone and smiling happily for a few hours when he was summoned.

It took an unknown amount of time before she stopped what she was doing, exhaled, and sat down in her chair. She sat in a strange way, hugging her knees, like a very cute little girl, with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was thinking about something.

After a long while, she opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth lifted a slight smile, her gaze turned to the side of "no one", and suddenly spoke.

Hello everyone. 】

【…… Don't be surprised that breaking through the dimensional wall and talking to you is only one of the abilities that people themselves have. If it weren't for the fact that Gaia and Alaya had limited the abilities of people from other worlds a lot, they could even appear by your side at any time...... Of course, if it were the real me, they wouldn't be able to restrict people with their strength, but unfortunately, the current people are just a projection, so they have to be suppressed by those two guys. 】

The dark-haired girl smiled, turned to the ceiling again, and continued.

[But people are not dissatisfied at all, for others, it is enough to keep this head.] The power of knowledge cannot be blocked, as long as it is used well, it can even make the whole world turn for others. 】

[People originally planned to rely on Shirou's identity as an overseer to act slowly and secretly, but it seems that this Holy Grail seems to have some thoughts about others~~~~ The hundreds of demons scattered in Fuyuki City have already let people know that Ruler has appeared. People must not let her see me for who I am, nor let her know that they are here. Ruler can scout the location of all Servants within 10 kilometers of him, knowing their identities the moment he sees them, and knowing how many Servants still exist regardless of distance......]

The black-haired girl raised her fingers, as if a childish and innocent child had suddenly thought of something funny.

[Although she, like Shirou, can't see through my chaotic body and know my real name...... But then again, the one who can't see the truth is the biggest suspect in the first place. 】

[Those lovely sea demons who were summoned from other people's homes ten years ago were all killed by the heroic spirits here...... So people have to be careful, they can't take such risks. Luckily, the person is manifested as Caster, and the power of knowledge can also be applied to magic—huh? Shirou is here. 】

Footsteps could be heard faintly in the distance, and Caster and Shirou agreed to meet again in four hours. As far as she knew, Shirou was very serious and always knew the time neither early nor late, which meant that it took her four hours to finally get everything done...... She looked up slowly, just in time to meet Shirou's eyes.

Shirou looked at the black-haired girl quietly, as if he wanted to see through her heart for a while, before asking.

"It really cost me a lot of stuff...... What do you think? What did you get out of four hours? ”

"Because it's Caster, there's definitely no chance of winning in a head-to-head battle~~~" She ignored Shirou's disbelieving gaze and continued, "Moreover, preparation is very important, as long as you are prepared, the other party is just a monkey spinning in your hand." At that point, you will feel that the result does not matter at all, and you will be extremely satisfied with watching the monkeys dance. ”

Shirou's pupils narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a moment, and he realized that he had to speak to remind her, "Caster, my mission is to obtain the Holy Grail, and if you enjoy the process too much, you can easily fail." ”

For some reason, he didn't disagree with the girl's point of view, but only recounted his mission once.

"It's said that it's called Yog~~~ But I'm not lazy in the slightest.,Basically,With the efforts of the demons.,I roughly know the identities of almost all the masters.,Some also know the location.。

"You don't have to fool me with the kind of pseudonym that you hear about it. If it really was Yog, who had an all-knowing eye, he wouldn't have to use hundreds of demons. Shirou frowned, "Tell me their information." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

The black-haired girl jumped to the crystal ball like a child and touched it.

The sphere immediately glowed brightly, and then, like a projector, projected a clear picture on the polished wall of the basement - and that's not all, the crystal ball actually sounded the background music of the bully and the barrage was quickly inserted on the screen......

"Can you explain why this is happening?" Shirou's head hurts a little.

"Well, this is just a picture of the crystal ball and the demon being edited by the way, it looks more emotional, right?"

Caster explained with a smile, her head tilted, her long black hair swaying with it.

“……”

Just like CG, the picture seems to be a flying magician, crossing the blue sea and entering a thriving steel city, and then time quickly accelerates into the night, and thousands of lights are brilliant.

Various subtitles continue to pop up on the screen as the screen changes.

[Production: unfotable]

[Video provided by: Caster]

[Original: Poison Mushroom/TYPE-SUN]

[Song: Ayano Maguro - idealwhite]

……

…… There were so many slots that Shirou was speechless. At this time, he was asking himself, was it better to use the church's relationship in the first place?

At this moment, the crystal ball sounded a narration, and the voice was the kind of calm bass boy that was predicted in an American TV series.

"Seven magicians of different backgrounds, they have come together in this city for different purposes, in order to compete for what can be achieved, but ...... The winner has only one set of partners! They will fight fiercely for this Holy Grail!

This show was conceived by Mr. Poison Mushroom, produced by unfotable, and sponsored by a large number of gentlemen at Station D. Now let's introduce them and their partner Heroic Spirits. ”

There's also a narration! Who are these producers? Who was the idea? Who is the sponsor? - Shirou's face twitched slightly, and he kept complaining in his heart: If someone can really conceive this story, someone makes this into a film, and someone spends money to buy this film, then they are all fucking amazing.

The camera flashed, just like an elective program, two figures rotated 360 degrees on the camera, and there were cool subtitles around the two people introducing their backgrounds. The narrator seems to be a restless master of ceremonies, and as each group changes, he also explains passionately with the momentum of not breathing.

"The first group ~~ Berserker combination! We can see that Berserker is a male supergiant who is taller than Yao Ming and stronger than O'Neill! The weapon appears to be a huge stone axe, and its master is a girl from Einzbergen! Unfortunately, she seems to be a very good magician. Our interview didn't evade her perception, and it only turned out to be the above information. We're not going to give up, though! Our demon-making reporters will definitely continue to work hard to follow one another! ”

…… Well, it's amazing to have such a tenacious spirit as an envoy.

"The second group ~~ Lancer combo! The master of this group is also very good, she is a super combat magician from the Magic Association - Bazet. Fraga. Mark Remis! And her Servant is Cú Chulainn, the child of light in Ireland! We look forward to a great performance! Now that they're looking at the terrain in Fuyuki City, they seem to be full of fighting spirits! ”

This is a very clear investigation! Not bad.

"The third group ~~ Archer combination! Oh...... There's nothing good to introduce to this, so let's jump over. ”

Feed! Rin, she's going to be sad!

"The fourth group ~~Rider combination! The Master is Shinji Makiri.,A high school student with very low magic ability.,Physical fitness and so on are also average.,Well,It's a scumbag.。 However, his Servant seems to be a dead house, and he hasn't moved for days, and the Makiri family doesn't seem to let our demon reporter enter. It's a pity~~ We curse that Mr. Heroic Soul of the dead house to live alone forever! ”

Isn't that a curse?!

"The fifth group ~~Assassin combination! Oh, that's amazing! The Master is also a member of the Magic Association, and he is none other than the genius student of the Magic Association, Frath Escaldes! He seemed to be the best magician of the time, and the terrifying magic simply moved our reporters! And his Servant is naturally one of Hassan...... Originally, I lived in a home-style hotel, but it seems that our reporter made the demon discovered by the other party's Servant, and they immediately turned away, and it seems that they are waiting for an opportunity, and it is a combination with great potential! ”

Well, it seems to be someone to deal with carefully.

"Then there's the sixth group ~~~ Caster group...... Well, this group is also skipped due to the other party's confidentiality requirements. ”

Although I was given an explanation, why should I be treated the same as Tosaka?! Although I know my own business, it's really unpleasant to be jumped over!

"Aside from Saber, who hasn't been summoned yet, the most surprising thing is that this time there is an eighth Heroic Spirit! Ruler, who does not participate in the fight at all but only guarantees neutrality!! She doesn't have a master, but she has a powerful sense at the same time! Our envoy can't even get close to her for ten kilometers, so it's a very difficult subject to interview~~Fortunately, she still has her face~~ Wow! Very beautiful girl! ”

“Ruler？”

Looking at the blonde girl in the image, Shirou's eyes suddenly became sharp.
