The so-called body in the mountains does not see the mountains.

The servants and masters of Fuyuki City are basically in this situation, because they are in the city, so they have not been able to find any special signs.

It's like no matter how violent and ferocious the storm is, the center of the "eye of the storm" is always relatively calm-

The current situation of Fuyuki City is like this, to outsiders, it looks like a huge magical storm that has quietly appeared, like a heavy cloud like lead, enveloping Fuyuki City and the entire surrounding land, isolating it from the otherworldly demon realm.

However, the people who were in Fuyuki City from the beginning were not directly affected at all, and they were in the center of the "eye of the storm" from the beginning, so they were not able to notice this incident.

Although they felt as if the density of mana in the air was a little higher, they didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, logically speaking, this is a normal phenomenon...... First of all, the leylines of Fuyuki City already contain extremely huge magical power, otherwise, it would not have been chosen by the three families to become the main ceremonial place of the Holy Grail War.

Then there is the existence of the Great Holy Grail, which will store a huge amount of mana for sixty years in normal operation to support the arrival of more than seven servants and start the Holy Grail War...... And that's exactly the case now, so it's understandable that the mana density in Fuyuki City is a bit higher than normal.

In addition, there is also the reason for the activities of the servants, these guys are all promoted to the existence of the elf realm as human beings, and the essence of each person is a high-concentration of magic power collection, with a powerful magic reaction that far exceeds the standard. It's fine when you're doing it normally, but if you play each other......

There's bound to be a lot of mana escaping into the air, and that's inevitable.

But that's already happening.

For example, on the first night of the Holy Grail War, there was already a fight, but unfortunately it was so sudden that no one else knew what was going on, and it was too late to check it at that time, but the news about the "gas explosion in Enzang Mountain" was in the newspapers the next day.

That's basically it, this is the first gas explosion in Fuyuki City this year, the first shot of the Holy Grail War, but it will definitely not be the last.

And since it has been ten years since the Fourth Holy Grail War, many citizens have long forgotten what happened back then, and now they naturally don't say how nervous they are about this kind of disaster. I don't feel much when I see the news.

All in all? The people of Fuyuki City are not yet aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Similarly, the whole world is converging towards the city? People of all stripes? They are not yet aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Obviously it's completely undisguised, please fall into the trap of the urn? But one by one, they are coming one after another...... Maybe it's because it's too direct, too obvious? So they don't feel like a huge terrible trap?

Or maybe you have faith in yourself? Or is it confidence in others that they can take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters?

……

……

Time flies.

As the sun sets, the afterglow reflects the earth obliquely, dragging the shadows of buildings and pedestrians for a long time.

A beautiful girl with outstanding looks? With a bag in your hands? is walking on the road facing the sunset, and the long beautiful purple hair is swinging back and forth behind him, attracting the admiration and amazement of countless people for a while, which is fascinating.

But the girl is obviously used to this kind of situation, and she doesn't squint and don't say anything? The footsteps don't mean to stop at all, although they seem to be light? But there was a hint of urgency in it, as if it was about to catch the last train.

And the girl's face was a little depressed......

The same ten years? The girl named Sakura Makiri is taught by the words and deeds of the witch of the gods, plus her own hard work all the time? Is the distance between her and her sister unimaginably huge? After summoning the Servant? It doesn't even feel at all.

She was just full of joy the next morning, and went to school early, thinking that that person would definitely come to see her, although it may be as a servant of Tosaka Senpai, and it is more interesting to come with her.

But...... Not really.

Dislike! It's really annoying!

I was looking forward to seeing that person today, but I didn't get my wish...... That's it, but why didn't even Tosaka Senpai come to school today? What the hell are the two of them doing at home today......

Don't worry! No matter what, don't worry! The more she thought about it, the more she felt a sense of crisis, especially the fact that her sister had summoned someone, which made her very dissatisfied.

Why not yourself?! Obviously, this kind of thing has always been in my mind, right? Tosaka-senpai, she doesn't even know anything......

"Master, are you really going to your sister now?" At this time, a whispering voice sounded in the air beside Sakura, and Rider, who was following her in spirits, was a little worried, "No matter what your relationship with her is now...... The other party is always the magician who participated in the war this time. ”

"No problem, Rider, don't worry! And the teacher didn't object, did he? Sakura came back to her senses from her thoughts, then restrained her sullen expression and said with a smile, gently brushing the hair from her ears.

There is no need to worry about this kind of problem.

Even Tosaka-senpai wouldn't be her enemy, this is a fact that can be confirmed, because it's her own sister...... Although there is still a gap after all, so she deliberately keeps her distance, but Sakura does not resent her sister, and she can also feel that Rin Tosaka has always cared for her over the years.

The red hairband on her head was given to her by Rin Tosaka when she was young in the past, and it was precisely because of Sakura's feelings for her sister that she would always wear it.

"I don't know much about your relationship, but you're my Master, and I have to keep you safe first......" Rider, who was in a state of stealth in the eyes of ordinary people, sighed softly, but he had already frowned slightly.

Medea, the god of the witch, really didn't say anything, and the swordsman girl who came to visit last night and was so powerful that she easily defeated Saber seemed to know each other, and although she didn't deliberately hide a lot of things she said, Rider couldn't understand it and felt confused.

However, because of this, Rider was not affected and was able to consider the problem more objectively. She thinks it's okay no matter what, the other party is also a rival in this Holy Grail War, even if it was once the sister of her master, but it is said that they have already separated ten years ago.

She didn't know the feelings between the sisters and her complicated experiences in the past, so she felt that she shouldn't be so careless, and it was better to be vigilant.

"Doesn't Rider have the confidence to protect me?" Sakura didn't explain anything, just smiled and asked softly, then turned her head to look in the direction ahead, and directly changed her approach, "And isn't there Saber too?" ”

It's not just Medusa who is following and protecting Sakura, but also Dilumudo, who is appearing with a sword and focusing more on the mythical side, but the latter is secretly following and keeping a certain distance...... To be precise, this arrangement is somewhat of a fishing law enforcement implication -

If there are really people who don't know whether to live or die, and think that Sakura only has Medusa by her side, and she can eat it, she will be able to learn what it means to be a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch in the back, and he was attacked by two first-class servants, and he died violently on the spot.

This is because Medea herself does not come out, she has been staying in the position of Liudong Temple, and she does not need the protection of the servants, so it is better to send Dilumudo out...... At the beginning, Sasaki Kojiro was bound to the mountain gate, and there was no way to leave the vicinity of the mountain gate, so he used it to guard the gate.

However, Dilumudo is still a normal servant, and Medea has not yet sacrificed the "illegal summoning" card that Caster used to use in the Holy Grail War, so it would be too wasteful for the former to defend the Willow Cave Temple from the beginning.

So under normal circumstances, Sakura's current cards don't dare to easily say that they swept all the way, but it is definitely enough to protect herself in the Holy Grail War.

"Of course you have this!"

Speaking of which, Rider immediately said in a solemn tone.

From another point of view, it can be regarded as a direct door-to-door confirmation of the situation of the opposite group, which is a problem that needs to be faced sooner or later. If the other party really has bad intentions, then she is confident that she can deal with it.

No matter how bad it is, with the strength of her and Saber, it should still be possible to protect herself.

Wouldn't that be enough? Sakura nodded slightly, wanting to say something.

But at this time-

"Sakura? How are you here...... Wait a minute. ”

Hearing the call from behind her,The purple-haired girl was slightly stunned,When she turned around, she saw a girl who was the same as herself.,A girl wearing a women's uniform from Suiqunyuan School Park was on the road behind her.,While waving to herself,While hurrying to catch up.。

She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face, shoulder-length and refreshing short hair, and her temperament and appearance were particularly eye-catching.

"Sister Meifu? ...... you are," Sakura paused, a little surprised.

The person who came was Mei Ayako.,2 years of class A's senior.,The chief general and head of the school archery department.,Just like the eldest sister who is relied on by everyone.,I've always taken care of Sakura.,Often give help and advice to Sakura...... At the same time, she is also a good friend of Rin Tosaka.

Seriously, the reason why these two people were able to become friends was because of Sakura. Sakura doesn't like other sports, so she only participates in the archery club, and Rin Tosaka has always cared about her sister, so naturally she often watches the archery dojo from a distance when she has nothing to do.

After going back and forth like this, he became very good friends with the main general Ayako, and Ayako knew some things about the two sisters.

- Of course, just superficial things,

"Are you going to see Tosaka?" Mika Ayako had already caught up at this time.

"Yes, yes, Sister Mi, are you ...... too" Sakura had already vaguely understood, her expression was slightly stiff, and she asked softly.

"It's just that I'm going to see her too, let's ...... together" Ayako Mizuku stood still in front of her and said in a frank tone, "It's really a headache, although I also know that Tosaka can't get up in the morning, but at most she is relatively late to school, but I didn't expect her to come directly today......"

"And I didn't make a single phone call, and I didn't see anyone asking for leave, so I was really a little worried, so I was going to take a look after school."

“……”

“……”

Is this really the reason? It's a bit tricky.

"This, this, Sister Mei, I think maybe Senior Sister Tosaka just wanted to call, but she didn't do it for the first time, and then she just forgot about it, she doesn't often drop the chain, don't worry too much......"

Sakura whispered, feeling a little headache, and didn't know how to gently persuade Mizuku Ayako to dispel such an idea.

Although the intentions are good, considering that the Holy Grail War has already begun, what if she just goes over and happens to run into something that she shouldn't know...... Although she deliberately kept a certain distance from Rin Tosaka, Sakura, like her sister, tacitly did not reveal the secrets of the magic world to Ayako Mizuku.

- Although that world is a continuation of legends and fantasies, it is not the same as a fairy tale world.

- It's really not that warm.

"Actually, I think so too, this must be what Tosaka will do......" Mitsuka Ayako didn't realize that Sakura was actually trying to persuade herself to quit and not let herself go over, but nodded with deep sympathy and sighed.

Although it is not good to say this, she is really worried about the rough lines of her friend, and in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the inside story, Tosaka is a completely impeccable top student with no shortcomings at all.

But she knew how stupid the other party was at certain times...... Or how stupid and cute, she has always been very suspicious of how the other party lived alone and survived, and always felt that the other party was living in dire straits every day.

"Yes, right, so you don't have to worry about it, Sister Miyu, why don't I go and see it and then notify you......" Sakura tried to strike while the iron was hot.

Mitsuka Ayako shook her head: "No, I still have to take a look to rest assured, and I've already come here...... It's okay, let's go and see it together, let's go, let's go......"

As she spoke, she directly pulled Sakura's palm and dragged the girl forward without saying anything.

It's not that she didn't notice the strangeness of the cherry blossoms, but she didn't think too much, she just instantly substituted her own logic and the information she had, and deduced the "truth" as a matter of course -

The relationship between Sakura and Tosaka has always been a little awkward.,It's clear that there is a deep emotional existence.,But it seems that I don't know why there is some kind of estrangement.。

So the current situation is likely to be that Sakura found out that her sister didn't come to school all day, and she was a little worried, and wanted to visit after school, but she was unfortunately bumped into by herself, so she felt embarrassed, and maybe she had just mustered up the courage to retreat......

Mitsuka Ayako felt that if she hadn't been tougher, she might really just hurry over and take a look at Tosaka after a while, and left directly. Because I also know about it, the nature of this matter has changed...... That's not going to work!

If the great opportunity for the sisters to reconcile is ruined by themselves, it will really be a sin.

"That, that, Sister Mizuki......" Sakura was a little flustered, and subconsciously wanted to break free from Misuke Ayako's palm.

But she's not physically strengthened, of course, she can't have the strength of her sister, and naturally she can't fight against the eighteen kinds of martial arts that she is proficient in, and the best martial art is the beautiful decoration of the naginata. And in this case, the accompanying servants can only smile and sigh bitterly, and they can't help.

Mika Ayako is even more sure that her idea is correct, if it is obviously a friendly visit between classmates, why should Sakura resist so much? Does she really want to take this opportunity to talk openly with her sister?

The two young and lively girls in the original school park of the Sui Qun Dynasty,In this way, they are drifting apart in the stalemate.。

……

……

It is more than 30 kilometers away from the downtown area of Fuyuki City in a straight line to the west.

A national highway crisscrosses the mountains far from the inhabited land, and deep in the uninhabited forest is a different dimension protected by illusions and magical barriers, and a magnificent ancient stone castle stands in the thick fog.

This is a strange city that welcomes its master every sixty years and becomes a wartime base.

But this time, only ten years have passed since the last opening, and a new owner has been ushered in again.

The petite and cute figure stood on the top floor of the castle, watching the sunset that was about to sink to the horizon—

"Berserker, let's go!"
