In the middle of Fuyuki City's town district, the commotion caused by Rider's shrine had almost subsided in the early hours of the morning, two hours later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a high-paced city life, almost no one wastes their time and energy on these fantastical events, perhaps someone posts on the Internet, or someone is waiting for an official explanation, or someone is eager to investigate...... More people, however, will choose to go to bed as soon as possible to prepare for the next day's work and study, and then occasionally see government news reports explaining the temple in scientific terms while they are queuing up for pork chop rice, and then forget about things that don't interfere with their lives — they are more concerned about supermarket specials and exam times.

Late at night, even in the thriving central areas of town, the crowds begin to decrease considerably. Except for some special places, this is probably the only place that has not yet closed.

Located in the central area, the Fuyuki Grand Theater is a grand theater that has existed since the construction of the city.

This decades-old building is a symbol of Fuyugi's old town plan, and it was designed by a master to give it an atmosphere of oldness and solemnity in every part of the building. Originally, the building would have been demolished due to the Fuyuki City New City Development Plan, but the fire that destroyed the Fuyuki Civic Hall, which cost a lot of money ten years ago, destroyed the second-floor concert hall that had been almost completed to replace the theater. As a result, the Grand Theatre has been preserved.

While the lobby is shrouded in silence for part of the day, today is different.

In the past few days, the Winter Wood Theater is being staged, which is adapted from the German large-scale opera "The Ring of the Nibelungen", and today's performance is the third part of the dance drama, Brunhilde, that is, Siegfried defeats the evil dragon Fafnir and saves the sleeping Brunhilt surrounded by fire.

Towards the end of the opera, a young man dressed in a priest's costume appeared very abruptly in the lobby, and sat down on an empty seat without glancing at the wonderful opera on the stage.

During the phone call, Einzberen asked Shirou to meet him. Needless to say, there is no good feast in this feast, and there will be no good feast. This banquet is the Hongmen banquet, and this meeting is the Third Plenary Session.

Someone like this kidnapper makes an appointment with the victim's family (?). There must be some ulterior illegal issues mixed in. Normally, kidnappers make appointments off the beaten track, so the location of Darius's appointment this time is very new, and Shirou has never heard of anyone playing this trick - asking the family of the kidnapped (?). Come and see the opera.

"It's coming sooner than I thought, Shirou Yanfeng, the opera isn't over yet."

As Shirou sat down, a dark-haired boy in the seat next to him said with a blank face, his eyes still looking at the stage, his tone as flat as if he was talking to himself.

I haven't seen anyone, but I've just heard the voice.

Shirou observed the other party's appearance again. He is about the same age as Shirou, and he has a delicate appearance and a thin figure like a scholar, but his rare red pupils have eyes as sharp as those of a beast. Although the difference in body is a bit large, the contours of his facial features are somewhat similar to those of Darius von Einzberen, whom Shirou saw.

Is it the son of Darius, or is it ......

"It's really a fun magic trick, is it a transfiguration? Or is that the power of the Immortal you're using? So what should I call you? Kidnappers? Darius? Or Julian von Einzberen? ”

Hearing his words, Julian's brow furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Shirou, looking at him with vigilance.

“…… Hmph, I see, I kind of understand why Rin Tosaka is so wary of you now. As a magic-repelling priest and an overseer, you're a little too busy. These things are completely beyond the scope of the overseer's responsibility. ”

The overseer of the Holy Grail War, whose main job is to keep watch over the progress of the war, and to conceal magic and miracles from ordinary people. But in addition to this, they are also tasked with "protecting the losers." ”

After all, if you plan to continue to be the Master after the Servant is defeated, you can also return to the battle line by reconcluding a contract with the Servant, who is also waiting to be destroyed because of the loss of the Master. In order to prevent this, there are not a few magicians who tend to kill the Master who has lost their Servant to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

"After all, it is inevitable to deal with you, and it should be said that the intelligence of the church is amazing, although Einzbelen is almost isolated from the world, but you have gathered this kind of information a few days after you have been here. I wish you could give them a donation. ”

Shirou nodded dryly, but Julian's eyes narrowed.

Of course, this was not the work of the Church's informants, but the information that Caster had just told Shirou.

"A magician named Darius, the master of Aindworth. He died five years ago and was succeeded by his son, Julian von Einzberen. There are only two people left in the long-standing magic family, and they have to join the Einzberen ......"

"--It's not a fake, I, it's Darius."

Despite the lack of movement, Julian's voice was still filled with a sharp murderous aura. There was a tyrannical wind that seemed to be able to stain the entire earth red with blood...... Not only humans, but even heroic spirits feel the oppression of fear.

“……”

In Shirou's well-trained and perceptive eyes as a substitute, it was clear that Julian's anger had almost reached a critical point, and it was real anger without falsehood. Julian looks calm, but turns out to be unexpectedly emotional, and, as he says on the phone, he has an unusual aversion to "fakes" and "lies".

"Let's change the subject...... Let me ask, what did 'Darius' do when he kidnapped the nuns of the church? ”

“…… All I want is a Command, a Commandment that has not been used in the Holy Grail Wars and that has been recovered by the Overseers. ”

Not even a magician can take all the spells he has from an Overseer. The supervised custody of the mantra is protected by the Word. Without my permission, it is impossible to snatch it through magic.

"Spells? This kind of thing -- Einzberren can make a lot of it, right? Why? ”

"The most annoying thing about me is fakes. Fakes have no value, only the real thing can fight against the real thing, if anything, because the spell is a necessary thing for victory. ”

Julian's original vicious attitude is now more ruthless.

The source of magic power without attributes, the key to summoning the heroic spirit...... Spells are not only precious, but they are also extremely useful. However, as desperate as Julian was to get the spell, Shirou couldn't guess his usefulness for a while, after all, Shirou was a half-toned magician after all, and his knowledge of the use of magic was not as good as Julian's.

So, what about your answer? Since you're here, you're probably prepared. In your heart, is that woman worth the price? ”

"Of course. She...... More than the value of this. ”

Shirou pulled up the sleeve of his right hand, which was a dozen spells inherited from Yan Feng Qili, and ...... The three key spells connected to Caster's magic.

Losing the spell here means that the contract with Caster is completely broken, and the qualification of the Master is lost, and the path to the Holy Grail that Shirou pursued will also be aborted. However, it wasn't because he was going to give up on the Holy Grail War, but Shirou didn't think it would end there.

Rather, he began to have a hunch that even if he wanted to give up the competition for this Holy Grail, an inexplicable "fate" would pull him into this whirlpool.

Is this self-confidence, or is he beginning to feel the "will" of the Holy Grail? However, the second point is really unreasonable, the Holy Grail is only pure [power], it cannot have any consciousness at all.

However, Shirou has this conviction. So he did not hesitate to abandon his identity as Master on the third day of the Holy Grail War.

Shirou recited the secret words, and in response, all the mantras on his right wrist glowed faintly. With a dull pain, the spells were transferred to Julian's hands one by one.

Julian stared wordlessly at the light of the spell before suddenly speaking.

“…… Let me tell you one thing, you already know that my father is dead, and you also know that my servants and I use the power of the Heroic Spirit, do you know how the power of the Heroic Spirit came from? Do you know how my father died? ”

Shirou was slightly stunned, and the sudden change of topic made him a little strange.

"Five years ago, my father led an attack on the Winterwood Church in order to get these spells...... But at that time, he could never have imagined that in the Fuyuki Church, ......"

That's something that shouldn't have existed a decade ago.

"There's a Heroic Spirit."
