The underground magic workshop of the Tosaka family, in addition to the room used to summon demons, there are also several other basements for magic experiments, magic item manufacturing, storage of magic materials, etc., of course, the decoration style is also classical and elegant, at this time, Tosaka Tokitomi and his two disciples are in one of the workshops with all kinds of magic equipment and common furniture to analyze the information of the war to the present.

"Although I basically figured out the rank of the opponent's Heroic Spirit, the Assassin is too fragile to see their true strength." Yan Feng sat down on a couch until he looked a little stiff, reporting to Tosaka Tokitomi the information he had received from the Assassin, and the reason he was so stiff was because on his knees sat a little girl with a white skull mask on her forehead, tugging at his robes tightly.

The ability to allow him to clearly see the actions of the Assassins who are sent out, called [Empathy], which can obtain the five senses of the other party with the consent of the Servant, is improved by Tosaka Tokitomi from the ability to control the demons, and is simply tailor-made for the Assassins who are good at gathering intelligence, and their superficial personality will not refuse at all.

The problem is that this magic ability seems to increase the intimacy between the Master and the Servant at the same time, and "Amir", who was originally just tugging at the cuffs or hem of Qili's clothes, begins to ask him to hug him, and Ryunosuke is happy to see it, and Tosaka Tokitomi does not intend to interfere, and this is what it turns out to be.

"Assassin is plural, so the intelligence must have been guessed." Ryunosuke Yusheng and Kiri Yan Feng sat side by side on the couch, a large map of Fuyuki covered with a large map of winter wood in front of him, with many photographs, sticky notes and seven crystal chess pieces of various shapes.

The Tosaka Mansion in Deep Mountain Town naturally holds three chess pieces representing Archer, Berserker, and Assassin, Saber and Caster are placed in Einzbelen Castle, and Lancer is located at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Xindu, only Rider's chess pieces remain off the map, and it seems that his Master's stronghold has still not been found.

"Based on an analysis of the circumstances of that encounter, Webb Wildwitt is supposed to be living in the home of a common citizen in the new capital, but since Rider's car cannot be tracked in the air, the exact location cannot be confirmed for the time being, and more Assassins have been sent to search for it." Ryunosuke glanced at Emir, who was still pulling at the priest's clothes.

"Judging by Rider's disrespectful attitude towards him, he probably can't control the Servant, and Rider is very interested in realistic military knowledge, and is likely to go shopping with him again, so he can take advantage of the opportunity." Yan Feng Qili was trying not to let the little girl grab the cross around his neck.

"In addition, Kenneth plans to have Lancer go to Saber to fight him, so that even if he is attacked by us, it shouldn't change," Ryunosuke picked up the crystal pieces representing Saber, Lancer, and Rider and put them together, and then pushed Assassin and Berserker and the pieces near the three, "Then just find a way to get them to fight each other, and Assassin and Berserker can flank them." ”

"Good!" Tosaka Tokitomi, who was sitting on a high-backed chair across from the coffee table, was very satisfied with the analysis and plan of his two disciples, "I would like to add that when you go out, everyone should follow an Assassin to deal with a direct attack from that Magician Killer or other magicians. ”

"Heh, if that person takes advantage of the Servants to fight and attack us who are 'lonely', only to find out that he is facing a Servant named the Assassin, the expression on his face must be beautiful." Yan Feng Qili had a strange smile on his face that he hadn't even noticed.

"Ready, then—welcome back, my king." Tosaka stood up as if to make a summary of the meeting, but the next moment he turned around and bowed gracefully to the side.

Tosaka Tokitomi summoned the Servant in this war is indeed the strongest of the Heroic Spirits, but his intense curiosity and the resulting unauthorized actions are very troublesome, and since he was summoned, he has hardly stayed in the mansion, and the "palace" he chose has never lived in at all.

"Hmph." Gilgamesh, who materialized with the fluttering golden dust, still had the arrogant appearance of being a solitary man, he glanced at the map with blood-red eyes, and casually took the crystal chess piece that symbolized Saber: "Saber belongs to the king, you are not allowed to do anything to her." ”

"My king, Your Majesty has received news that the location of Einzbelen Castle has emitted a large number of dazzling lights into the sky...... "Tosaka Shichen kept bowing and quietly raised his eyes to look at the expression of the golden king: "...... Are you happy with her? That Saber. ”

"She is very stubborn and has put a shackle on herself, but no matter what, she is a treasure that the king should keep properly." Gilgamesh looked at Shi Chen with a majestic and unquestioning gaze.

"On your orders, my king, we will retreat in any battle with Saber." Shi Chen bowed in response.

"All the treasures in this world are the king's belongings," the golden armor's heroic gaze swept over Yusheng Ryunosuke and Yan Feng Qili, and finally turned back to Shi Chen with a strange gaze: "Bastards who want to touch them without permission must be punished." ”

"Yes, my king." Tosaka Tokitoki's attitude towards his servant was set before the summons, that is, to put himself in the position of a courtier, only make suggestions, never interfere, and if there is a clear order, he will immediately carry it out, so far, the attitude of the most ancient king should be quite satisfactory to him...... Right?

In the shopping street near Fuyuki Port, there is a pizza shop called "Pizza Zhong Kui", which specializes in seafood pizza but also has other flavors, and offers local service, and two quite eye-catching customers are dining at this time.

"Oh, the pizza at this restaurant is quite authentic, why don't you order from it in the future?"

The big man, who was eating the third 12-inch seafood pizza quite heroically, was about as tall as an ordinary person even when he was sitting, with red hair and a burly physique, wearing a wide T-shirt with the "Admiral's Grand Strategy IV" logo and washed white frosted jeans.

"Authentic? Could it have been around since the third century BC? ”

Sitting opposite the big man was a slender young man in black like a girl, tasting his six-inch vegetable pizza, looking at the exaggerated eating style of the person in front of him, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

In the morning, Webb felt a violent fluctuation of magic in the direction of the Einzberen Forest, but he did not dare to stay alone due to the previous raid by the Assassin, so he rode Rider's flying oxcart to scout together.

It can be confirmed that there was a fierce battle in front of the castle gate of Einsbelen, which can be seen from the large ash that almost looked like a forest fire, and the barrier of the castle itself has also suffered a lot of damage, and the opposing Heroic Spirit is still guarding the castle and does not go out, Rider turned around and returned before the Heroic Spirit found himself.

Later, because the time was close to noon, Rider proposed to try all kinds of food in the world, Webber thought about it and agreed-now he regretted that he didn't go back immediately, originally he just wanted to buy some takeaway fast food, but Rider actually walked in directly, and asked for two large barrels of fried chicken and burgers at once, and after eating, he was not satisfied, and found this pizza place again.

Servant materializes the Master's mana, Rider often materializes the tall and burly terrible body under the pretext of "it feels great to have a body", this time to taste the food, it is even more unceremonious, and he also wears the modern clothes he bought in the military store, fortunately, he can replenish his magic from the food, Webber can only comfort himself that this is also a money to save mana - it is an unnecessary expense!

"There are many condiments that are not available, such as this one," Iskandar said, referring to the tomatoes on the pizza for two: "It seems to have been invented by the Greeks, and the round wheat cake was sprinkled with olive oil and spices, and then baked on stones, and I levied a lot of similar convenience food as military rations." ”

"So, you rate fried chicken and burgers highly because of convenience?"

"What's so strange about this, in my time, battles could happen at any time in the daily life of soldiers, maybe they had to fight while eating, and if they waited for the food to cook, would they have to conquer the world?"

“…… Eat it. ”

The corner of Weber's eyes jumped, and he decided not to tell Rider about the existence of instant noodles, "the conqueror king who gnawed on instant noodles to conquer the world" was really unbelievable.

"Little ghost, I have to admit that the opponents in this Holy Grail War are all powerful characters." Rider grabbed a new piece of pizza and took a bite before speaking.

"Huh? Because of the traces left behind? Webb nodded, the forest had been destroyed to that extent, and the two sides of the struggle were naturally quite fierce.

"It's not a problem to deal with the kind of combat that wins by numbers, what I care about is the heroic spirit that repels that guy with a single blow, you said, it's a pillar of light that goes straight into the sky, right?" As he spoke, Rider had already eaten half of the pizza: "It's okay for the army, but it's a little troublesome for the city." ”

"Don't you have the certainty of victory?"

"What do you say?" Rider flicked his finger on Webb's forehead, which had suddenly leaned in, bouncing him back into his seat.

"I mean," Iskandar shoved the rest of the pizza into his mouth, revealing a fierce and wild gaze, "it would take a lot of effort to take such an enemy under his command." ”

"What? But that's the enemy, and to win, you have to kill ......."

"How naïve! If you win, you will not destroy your opponent, and if you dominate, you will not insult your opponent, this is the real 'conquest'! Rider patted Webb on the shoulder.

Truly...... If Iskandar really slaughtered all the way to the past, how could it be possible to lay such a large territory, and the backyard would have caught fire a long time ago, right?

But to say the Holy Grail so loudly, it's a good thing that I have already set up a soundproof barrier......

Webb, whose shoulder was almost numb from the tap, thought.
