The idea that it's three o'clock in the morning is silent is inappropriate for magicians and servants.

"Hey, Maha, what are you looking at?" Nero watched strangely as Mahaha fiddled with a strange appliance.

"A good show."

"Fun? What do you know? Nero asked curiously.

"Let's do gymnastics."

"Oh? As an artist, Yu must take a look. Nero leaned over to look at the image of the screen in Maha's hand.

The image is clear, this is the perspective of the demon that Ma Yu and Pache have transformed. Zhenyu does not reject the means of science, and even because of the concepts of his previous life, to a certain extent, he admires science quite a lot; Pachouri didn't disagree with this, so the two teamed up to make this demon, and the monitor in his hand was connected to the perspective of the demon, which was clearer than Emiya Kiritsugu's simple scientific camera.

The main character on the screen is a strange man in a black robe with a white skull-like mask to hide his appearance, and his identity can be easily determined by looking at the decorations.

"Eh, this is Assassin?" Nero saw who he was, "Didn't you mean a gymnastic show?" ”

"Just look at it."

It was the Tosaka family's Western-style building, and a dozen or twenty enchantments were erected around the Western-style pavilion for the purpose of reconnaissance and defense. In the sense of magic, this simply makes this Western-style pavilion no different from the fortress. True Feather is greedy for this, and the benefits of having spiritual veins underground are here.

Without the master's permission, even a magical human wouldn't want to step into the barrier. Not to mention the Servants that seem to be huge magic crystals. Therefore, whether it is an entity or a spirit, you want to sneak into this fortress-like barrier without being noticed. It can't be done in any way.

However, there is an exception that makes this impossible possible. The exception to this is the fact that Assassin has the ability to cut off the breath. Although he does not have a strong combat ability, the Assassin is able to suppress his mana to almost zero, allowing him to approach his target like an invisible shadow.

In the image, the Assassin began to move, speeding from the mountain directly to the Tosaka house at the bottom of the mountain, and the high-speed movement caused the cold north wind to cross his body. Jumping high, shooting out a few gems from his hand, and removing the blind spots of several enchantments at the door, the enchantment will naturally not take effect, "pop", Assassin fell into the flower bed, looked at Tosaka House, and laughed at Tosaka Shichen's ridiculous fate in his heart. The arrogant magician seemed to have a lot of trust in Qili, who was his subordinate, but he could never have imagined that the puppy he had raised for so many years would bite his hand in turn.

The Assassin skillfully avoided the intricacies of the enchantment in the spirit state, supporting horizontally, spinning, rolling, and swinging...... Smooth gymnastic movements appear under the display of Assassin. As a Servant, Assassin can easily do movements that normal people can't do, and he also looks like he is at ease, worthy of being the "Emperor of Gymnastics".

The Assassin has reached the back barrier, where there are no blind spots in the enchantment. If you want to get through this, you must physically destroy the barrier and eliminate it in order to move forward. He reached for the ruby in the center.

At the moment when his hand was stretched out. Directly above him, like lightning, flew down a shining spear. Ran through the back of his hand and pinned his hand to the ground.

“……！？”

Intense pain, fear, and even more consternation. The Assassin, who was deeply surprised by the sudden blow of the dazzling gun, looked up with an incredible look on his face to find the person who threw the gun.

On the roof of the Tosaka Mansion, an unusually magnificent golden-colored figure stood.

"Ants lying on the ground. Who allowed you to keep your head up? ”

The golden figure looked down at the Assassin lying on the ground with his burning red eyes, and questioned in a contemptuous tone.

"You don't see my qualifications. Ants have to be like ants, just lie on the ground and keep their heads down and die."

Then, around the golden figure, there were countless flashes of light. There are swords, spears, and countless kinds that appear in the air, but they are not duplicated with each other, and any of them are treasure-like weapons with splendid decorations. And the spearhead of all these weapons is aimed at the Assassin.

Unbeatable - Assassin didn't have to think about it, his instincts told him that the man in front of him was invincible.

In the presence of an enemy of such overwhelming force, even so-called fear—yes, there is no room to even feel it—can be felt. There is only despair.

With the sound of the wind slicing, countless blades glowing with cold light flew towards the Assassin.

In the last moments of his life, the Assassin finally understood. His Master is a ...... The true purpose of Tosaka Tokitomi as his ally.

"Smack." Mayu turned off the image, and the best scene was over.

"This is what you said to be a good show?" Nero asked.

"Hmm. Not bad, right? ”

"I wish I knew that the golden guy was said to be a play," Nero nodded, "but it was a good play." ”

"After watching the show, it's almost time to rest, so let's recharge while we still have time."

…………………………………………………………………………………………

The city of Fuyuki is facing a large-scale redevelopment operation. Although 40% of the buildings that will become commercial streets are still unfinished, the park and shopping mall in front of the station are about to open. The new city that is about to be built will be unveiled with a clean and pale, gorgeous but characterless look. The city government has also gradually moved to the new capital, and steel, glass and paint have been combined into various modern buildings. The urban functions of this mountainous city are gradually being forced to change.

Because it was the afternoon of the rest day, there were a lot of people on the streets today. The unforgiving temperature of the north wind is like an indifferent attitude between people. Emiya Kiritsugu stood out in such a crowd, drowning in the crowd like a transparent existence.

His T-shirt and coat looked a little old and he didn't carry any luggage with him. He walked unhurriedly, and no one would think he was a foreigner. Since entering the country, he has relied on walking to the new capital of Fuyuki City. And because Japan was his birthplace after a long absence, it was quite easy for him to get used to the environment.

Just now, he involuntarily bought a pack of cigarettes at the vending machine. He looked at the cigarette case, and his feelings became complicated.

It's been nine years since I quit smoking. Part of the reason is because you can't buy the good cigarettes you are used to in Ainzbelen, far away. It's also partly because I don't want my wife and daughter to worry about me anymore. And because the mind is full of the upcoming battle. The moment Kiritsugu stood on the Fuyuki platform, he habitually slipped coins into the vending machine.

Sort out your mood. After buying a disposable lighter from a roadside convenience store, he opened the box of cigarettes. The white filter made him dazzle for a while.

Stuff a cigarette into your mouth, light a fire, quit smoking for nearly a decade, and these actions are all done in one go. Quietly inhale the calming aroma, which is as familiar and intimate as the one you tasted yesterday.

Experiencing the complex and authentic state of mind brought about by the smoke, Kiritsugu began to re-examine the various scenes around him.

Although he secretly came here three years ago to investigate, compared to that time, Fuyuki City has completely changed from that time. Although change is expected. But the degree of change is far beyond my imagination. It seems that it is necessary to reconfirm the geographical environment of the neighborhood.

But now the priority is to find your assistant's hotel. Suddenly, Emiya Kiritsugu's footsteps paused, and then returned to normal. Because he saw two "beauties" walking across from him. One of them he still knows - the participant in this Holy Grail War, Asakami Maha. The beautiful woman next to him should be the Servant he summoned. After seeing Servant's face clearly, Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils shrank, this woman looked exactly the same as the heroic spirit Arthur King Artoria of the Throne of Swords he summoned, is there a relationship between the two?

At this time, it was a little late to turn back, and I just returned to Fuyuki City, and I was careless under the agitation. Servant · Saber wasn't with him, and although he could summon it directly with a spell, he didn't want to do it unless it was necessary, and it would be a waste to use a spell at the beginning of the war. Now I can only put my hope on Asami, and Mayu doesn't know him.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Mayu feels that his luck has been a little delicate lately, and he can meet the participants in the Holy Grail War when he goes out. Last time, it was the Hero King, this time it was Emiya Kiritsu, and next time it might be the King of Conquest or the Night of the Wild Goose. Although Emiya Kiritsugu didn't seem to have changed much, the footsteps that had just stopped for a moment still made Maha, who had a keen sense of perception, notice.

[Sure enough, I have investigated my information, but how much do you know? 】

Zhenyu thought about it, pretending not to know it, it's better to have more than one thing, unless you can kill him in seconds, otherwise you will call out Saber, and although he will have one less spell at that time, he has attracted the attention of other masters, and offended the Saber group. As for spikes? That natural tense is kind of disgusting. Now it's hard to divert other people's attention and don't make any extraneous branches. It's always easier to be reassuring for a Master who summons the weakest Caster rank - though only Tosaka Tokitomi and Yan Feng Qili know the way.

In this way, Mayu and Emiya Kiritsugu passed by.

PS1: I feel like I've been a bit bad lately, how do you break it? I begged to form a team to go to Gensokyo to pick up festival exercises, and I heard that there were a lot of them on the ground.

PS2: In the second episode of the anime, the performance of the gymnastics emperor is amazing, full marks.
