The whisper of the wind came to my ears.

However, Bayi Yonglin did not open his eyes in a hurry.

The air was more cold of steel and the smell of engine oil than she was familiar with. It made Yonglin feel uncomfortable.

But this is also something that can't be helped, because this is not the Eternal Pavilion, let alone Gensokyo.

This is Fuyuki City.

The Holy Grail had already given her all the knowledge she needed as a servant, she knew who she was, and she knew her calling.

That being said, she doesn't really have any claims for the Holy Grail. But now that she has come to reality, she will not refuse her duty. But there's a precondition for that, and that must be that her master isn't the type she hates.

This shouldn't be a very harsh condition, because Bayi Yonglin is a tolerant and picky guy, and it's difficult to be liked by her, but it's not easy to be hated by her. Because she treats most people with an indifferent mood.

I hope it's a good master......

In fact, there were not too many wishes in his heart, and Yonglin slowly opened his eyes.

「……」

Standing in the summoning array emitting white smoke, Yonglin first saw a high-spirited silhouette.

She had expected that it would be a magician who summoned her, but that guy who would definitely not be a magician or anything like that surprised Yonglin a little.

The sharp eyes that were enough to make ordinary people lose their souls, as if they were burning, did not look like the eyes of a magician at all.

「…… Are you my master?"

She threw the question at the man in front of her.

In fact, she could indeed feel that a certain part of her body was connected to the other party, which showed that the other party was indeed her summoner. However, in Yonglin's view, sometimes formalism still has to go.

At the same time, she also took this opportunity to observe the other party further.

The muscular and not vulgar body was covered in black fabric, a black training uniform, but the hem was long, making it look like a yukata.

Overall, her master is not an abomination. Strictly speaking, it is more appropriate to describe it as dignified, although it is not as good as her beloved son, but the handsome facial features, as well as the sword eyebrows that show a strong personality, also make him have an extraordinary charm.

However, Yonglin cared more about the man's appearance than when he saw her figure clearly, the man's eyes widened as if he had seen some impossible figure.

「…… Mr. Yonglin...?"

Compared to the fact that the man didn't answer his question, he hesitated to reveal his real name, which surprised Yonglin even more.

This time, it was the turn of the Moon's mind to widen its eyes.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yujiro could feel the success of his summons.

From somewhere inside the body, the pathway to the outside opens. There is no doubt that this is the proof of the success of the calling.

He stared at the white smoke summoning array, waiting for the hero to appear.

Yujiro was also a little curious about what kind of Heroic Spirit he could summon, as he didn't have any holy relics in place.

It's ridiculous to say that it would have been impossible not to be well prepared as a participant in the Holy Grail War. However, Yujiro will participate in this competition, which is originally a trick of fate.

-- Since his death at the hands of his friend, his fate has been controlled by an unknown arena. Although Yujiro vowed to break through the restrictions one day sooner or later, but now that he doesn't have the strength to resist, he can only be appointed obediently.

Just like now, he was suddenly given the mission of "achieving victory" and then put into this world, and he could only play unprepared.

However, he didn't have any worries, as a layman who was not a magician, he soon began to summon in the best place of feng shui in this land - as a martial artist who always felt the surging energy of the earth spirit, this was not a difficult task.

It is up to fate to decide what Heroic Spirit to summon, and all he has to think about is how to achieve victory.

While thinking so, the prelude to the battle has also begun.

However, although I didn't have any expectations, the figure that appeared from the summoning array still shocked Yujiro completely.

The clothes resemble Taoist robes, and the tracks of the stars are engraved on them.

The silver-haired woman, who is slightly different from Yujiro's impression, still has a look that makes people want to be admired.

Compared with the clothes in her memory, she is more solemn and has a different expression, but she is undoubtedly Bayi Yonglin.

…… Yujiro and Yai Yonglin are not very familiar.

It should be said that the guy who is very familiar with this lady who practices medicine in the Eternal Pavilion who stays in the depths of the Lost Bamboo Forest will not find too many in all Gensokyo. But even so, Yujiro has always had a lot of respect for her.

Because Bayi Yonglin once saved his life...... As a doctor.

Thinking back to the age of sixteen, he once challenged the monsters living in the sunflower field without knowing the height of the sky, and now that he thinks about it, his ending should have been very tragic.

-- at least until the end. The internal organs of his abdomen were pierced, and he lay in a pool of blood without much memory. The only thing imprinted in my heart was the ruby eyes that looked down on me condescendingly.

It was indeed a sight without warmth...... However, Yujiro directly felt that it was one of the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.

Then, after the darkness, he woke up again and saw the first person...... It's Bayi Yonglin.

I don't know what went crazy and sent him to the hospital, and the doctor who did his duty to save him.

Which one is a little more commendable...... Yujiro couldn't answer.

In this process, Bayi Yonglin may not have done anything particularly praiseworthy. But Yujiro only needs to know that his life was saved through the efforts of these hands.

But why did this doctor become his servant?

Yujiro was puzzled.

First of all, if you want to summon a servant, in addition to the holy relics, you also need to consider the nature of the master itself and the heroic spirit, it should be said that if there is no holy relic, then the heroic spirit summoned by the master must be a servant similar to himself in spirit.

But he thought a lot about it at that moment just now, and he never found any mental resemblance between Dr. Yonglin and himself.

Moreover, Servant should also be a hero who will go down in history. They are heroes who have left great legends or demigods, heroes of the mortal world.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the figure standing in the summoning array.

It was a woman's face that was almost flawless as it was in my impression.

Eight Yi Yonglin -- big hero?

In order to avoid the growing sense of weirdness that came up from the bottom of his heart, Yujiro asked directly.

「…… Mr. Yonglin...?"

Mr. here does not refer to a man, but to a learned scholar, which is also Yujiro's usual honorific title for Eirin.

When the question was asked, Yujiro finally decided. The servant in front of him is indeed the matter of Bayi Yonglin.

Because when hearing his question, the woman ...... Or Yonglin's body suddenly shook.

Her light gray eyes, which had been full of intellect and dignity, widened, and she seemed to be amazed at why Yujiro was able to reveal her real name.

…… Yujiro still wondered why the doctor didn't recognize him.

"You actually broke my real name...... Who are you?"

Eiling asked as he looked at Yujiro with a scrutinizing eye.

Although Yujiro is not narcissistic enough to think that Doctor Yayi must be very impressed with him, if his memory is not wrong, then at least Yayi Yongrin still remembers his face and name.

So he asked rhetorically as a matter of course.

「…… I'm Yujiro."

"Yujiro...... Yujiro ............"

As if searching for the name in memory, he put his hand on his smooth chin and lowered his head in contemplation for a moment. Yonglin raised his head and said with a natural face.

"I'm sorry, but who is Yujiro?"

「…………」

Yujiro, who was speechless, felt the night breeze blowing.

Unlike the quiet nights of Gensokyo, even at night, you can still detect the slightly restless heat from the wind. This is the difference between Gensokyo and the outside world.

Because even if people fall asleep, the land does not fall into a peaceful sleep.

While unconsciously thinking about these inconsequential questions, Yujiro always felt that the war had been clouded before it had even begun.

-- This is an arbitrary idea.

A combination of an older sage and a young warrior. Changed the course of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

This change cannot be said to be huge, but it must not be ignored.

And then, here, the prologue of the extraneous story ended.

P.S: Qiang Qiang -- From a certain point of view, it is already a bad street theme. But I still had a lot of fun writing. (I can't finish writing the Holy Grail War if I don't believe me!) ）
