Chapter 55: A Chance Encounter in the New Capital
My name is Elijah,
I'm doing something.

Weber never imagined that in this Holy Grail War, in addition to offering demons to Rider, ordering takeout for pizza lovers, buying military magazine videos for Alexander the Great, preventing the king of conquest from conquering others, being shot in the head and collar by the big man, and complaining about Iskander's heroic actions, he would also have to follow the red-haired and red-bearded weirdos to the mall to buy clothes!
Originally, I thought that Rider's "flying circle" meant patrolling around the Western-style Pavilion, but he actually went straight to the commercial street of Fuyuki Xindu, and if it wasn't for the timely use of the Shadow Magic, he would definitely have been discovered.
"Ah, I just remembered when I saw Caster's image, I need to have a living outfit." In the face of Weber's questioning, Rider replied in a relaxed tone.
Truly...... Although she had only met a few times, the Caster was quite good at dressing herself, and Weber couldn't tell the details, but whether it was a solemn Einz Belen gown, a suit skirt that was easy to move, or a homely dress suitable for wearing indoors, she was matched with the right hairstyle, accessories and even speech and demeanor, and it was not for nothing that she was called a "saint".
"Think about it, wouldn't it be bad if a hero was willing to join the king's command and found out that I was wearing this?" By this time, Iskandar had parked his bullock cart in a vacant lot on the outskirts of the city, showing Webb a cheap T-shirt with the game's logo and oversized jeans.
"Well, it's my fault for ignoring that, so what kind of clothes do you want to buy? I said in advance, I have a limited budget, and I can't use a brand that is too expensive. "Although Webb doesn't think anyone will join the Rider in this war, he only has ancient armor to wear in addition to this one, which is a bit shabby.
"Well, formal wear or something like that, like the one I wear whenever I negotiate with the king of a country after conquering it," Rider stroked his chin with a bushy beard, "but at the time I was still wearing armor with reduced defensive performance, so I should have that kind of occasional clothes in this world, kid?" ”
"You mean the suit?" Webb looked the burly Rider up and down: "That needs to be customized...... No, a suit of this size should be available. ”
Judging from the TV, the bodyguards of many of the country's bigwigs are basically dressed in serious-looking, tall and large suits, although it has nothing to do with them, but there should be similar sizes in ready-to-wear stores.
Webb imagined Rider in a black suit and a pair of sunglasses......
Hmm, an unexpected fit?
"Do you know where it is? Although the Holy Grail is summoned with the basic knowledge of the present world, it does not tell us where to go to buy things. Rider turned his head and looked around.
By this time, the two had reached the mall, and Iskandar's eyes began to wander back and forth between taverns, toy stores, game stores, and snack shops.
"If you want a suit, a slightly larger garment shop should have ......."
"Oh! It turns out that "Grand Strategy IV" is on sale today, and there are bonuses that can be taken. Rider suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a large advertisement hanging up at one of the console game stores.
Isn't the Holy Grail not imparting common sense in shopping? What do you want to do with the knowledge of giving the game a release day bonus?!
"Don't go!" Without fear, Webb grabbed the Rider, who was twice his size: "Buy the suit first!" Since you come out with me, you are not allowed to do any messy 'conquest' acts!" ”
"Okay." Rider looked at Webb, who was trying to hold on to him, and grinned, "That suit wouldn't be too expensive, would it?" ”
"The rest of the money is definitely enough to buy you a game!" Webber, who fully understood the sound, dragged Iskandar's arm and walked towards a ready-to-wear store: "If you want to play, you should also measure the size first!" ”

After Rin Tosaka passed by the same bubble tea shop for the third time, he had to admit that he was lost.
For Rin, Fuyuki has four major landmarks: her home, the Civic Hall, Enzo Mountain, and Fuyuki Church, which exude obvious magical fluctuations all the time as nodes where the spiritual veins converge, and the scattered spiritual vein tributaries of these nodes are also relatively fixed, so as long as she touches any spiritual vein, no matter how small, she can find her way home.
But the impression of Fuyuki City today is completely different from the past, first of all, there are several more inexplicable spiritual vein nodes, and the originally fixed spiritual vein tributaries have also been greatly rerouted, and finally, this city is now filled with magic even in the air, and the magic pointer that she originally used as a compass either spins around itself or is inexplicably pointing somewhere motionless.
For example, it's now aimed at a skinny boy and his foreign fitness trainer - why is it a little familiar?
Because the spiritual veins are relatively fixed, and the streets and houses change from time to time with municipal construction, Rin has never remembered the landmarks at the architectural level, and as a result, she can't find her way home at all in the chaos of the spiritual veins.
At this time, the sun is about to set, and the plan to secretly come to Fuyuki to get evidence to make his mother not be too sad has completely failed, and it will be even worse if he acts without permission and be used by his father's enemies, so what he has to do now is to give up his own way, and find a location that can be easily discovered by his father's servants and wait, that's it.
"Welcome~" The clerk of the bubble tea shop smiled very understandingly at the little girl who finally made up her mind to step into the store after passing back and forth three times - it was nothing more than a problem with weight or pocket money.
"Hmm...... I want this, this, and this. "Okay~Wait a minute~"
Rin counted the balance of pocket money in her wallet and ordered a cup of milk tea and a small pudding, she also had to leave the tram money back, although from the current situation, their sisters will definitely be found and sent back by their father, but it cannot be ruled out that an accident will require her to leave in the car in advance, and the choice to sit next to the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the bubble tea shop is also so that the Assassin can find himself in time.
————
"Yo, Rin, why are you eating here?" A strange woman's voice sounded beside her.
Rin looked up, silver hair, red eyes, a beautiful suit and a matching skirt, although it didn't look like a bad guy and was a little familiar, but she didn't recognize it.
"Auntie, who are you?"
"It's my sister~" The woman reached for her hair, and with her other hand she covertly showed her a sapphire, which in the next split second turned into a lifelike statue of a galloping horse.
"Gifts, do you like them?" She placed the jewel horse in front of Rin.
Although it is a little worse, but it is almost comparable to the gem magic of the father, then, is it an acquaintance of the father?
"Do you know my father?"
"I know him at work, and I know him well, but I'm a generation younger than him, you can call me - Sister Eliya."
The young woman who called herself Illya sat down across from Rin.
"Illya-" "Waiter~Add two more cream cakes and milk tea to this table~"
"Sister Elijah." "Good way~"

Iskandar's huge size still caused problems for Webb, even the largest suit could not completely wrap the terrible muscles, and finally the tailor in the store came forward to measure Rider's size data and start to transform the suit that was "almost ready to wear", and during this time, the impatient Conquest King took Webb's rest of the money out to go shopping.
If Rider did run out of money, more than two-thirds of Webber's funds for the Holy Grail War would have disappeared, and if he was so embarrassed that he had to ask his teacher for help, just the thought of Kenneth's flowery, exaggerated long sentences sent chills to his body. And it must have been looked at by Mrs. Sola with cold eyes for a long time, not to mention that there is one more Luna now......
After a while, Iskandar the Great, who had returned from shopping, put on a black suit, and his whole person's momentum was raised a lot, and the kingly spirit of conquering Eurasia in one breath could not be concealed at all, at least the few clerks in the ready-to-wear store who could still receive Rider with a normal attitude became trembling, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't find sunglasses that fit his big face, the effect would probably be even more exaggerated.
"So, go straight back now?"
"Oh, no hurry, I bought a lot of stuff because it's hard to take it and put it out for the time being."
"Well, your car should fit anyway."
Webber didn't care about following Rider to receive the "big bunch of things", presumably nothing more than wine, fast food, game consoles and software, etc., although his personality is strange, but the so-called "Macedonian etiquette" is still in place, once you get used to it-
Then Webb saw the little girl in black sitting on the side of the road guarding Rider's pile.
- I can't get used to it at all!
"Did she buy it too!?" Webb angrily tugged at Iskandar's suit sleeve and asked, with a hint of luck in his heart, maybe the child was just passing by curiously.
"Of course I didn't buy it," Rider continued without waiting for Webb to breathe a sigh of relief, "It's the 'slave' that this king 'conquered'!" ”
"Call the police, call the police, no, wait, how do you call the police to the third century BC?" Webber was so frightened that he couldn't speak incoherently, his hands fumbling in his pockets, and he didn't know what he was trying to find.
"Calm down," Rider flicked Webb's head up, "didn't you notice this was a Servant?" ”
"What Servant, it's just plain—huh?"
Covering his head and calming down a little, Webber soon found that although this little girl had no magic fluctuations on her body at all, and she couldn't see the attributes, this small tight-fitting black dress was really very similar to those Assassins, and if you looked at it in the abstract, the kitten mask on her forehead could also be used as a skull.
"You said the Assassin's body was destroyed, but you're not sure how much is left, right?" Rider walked over and lifted the two big bags: "And aren't there many Assassin powerhouses with special abilities?" ”
"Wouldn't she be in danger if that case—"
In the middle of Weber's words, he saw the little girl in black stand up silently, walk up to Iskandar, and then quietly tug at the back of his suit.
"Hahaha! See? This is the charm of the King of Conquest! Rider burst out laughing.
"Okay, okay, then bring her back first, even if it's really an Assassin, the teacher will definitely have a way." Webb rubbed his forehead in anguish and decided to put the issue aside for now.
“lin……”
As she was walking through the shopping street to get to the open space where Kamui's wheels could appear and take off, the little girl, who had been silent no matter how Webb asked, suddenly pointed to a dessert shop.
Webb looked towards the shop, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see a little girl in red with two ponytails about the size of the Assassin, and a ...... sitting across from her, dressed in purple and white, with silver hair and red eyes Caster?
"Interesting, could it be that she found one too? It's good to share the tips of collecting. Rider noticed Caster as well, and turned and strode towards the store.
Do you think of Assassin as Dragon Ball? Webber followed with a sneer.

"Teacher!"
After communicating with his youngest daughter, he walked out of the study, and Tosaka Shichen saw Qi Li greet him with a serious face, and before he could ask a question, the second disciple said the information that shocked him.
"Caster and Rider met Miss Rin at the same time, and the current location is a shop on Xindu Commercial Street, and Makull didn't dare to approach."
This is the worst-case scenario, the opposing faction has grasped its own weaknesses at the same time, and Shi Chen's heart begins to beat wildly, trying to think of a way to break the game, while trying to maintain the grace of appearance.
No, wait, judging from what we know about them so far, these two heroic spirits will not do anything to kidnap their families, and if they are in the shopping street, they should not be able to do it easily......
"Teacher! Makul additional information-" Qili said quickly in a "empathetic" posture with one hand on his forehead, "Rider seems to have caught 'Amir' and is with them. ”
Regardless of what Rider was doing to take Emile, she was a completely normal person, and they couldn't do it for no reason even if they were suspicious, but if her identity was revealed by Rin who had seen her - although Rin was smart, she didn't know what Assassin meant.
"My king!" Shi Chen bowed deeply to Gilgamesh, who was in civilian clothes with a faint sneer on his face: "Your Majesty suddenly encountered an accident, and his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't make the best plan that should be implemented at this moment, so he used the spell as a carrier to open a shortcut to there for you, and asked my king to show your unparalleled wisdom and strength!" ”
In the name of the curse, he ordered Gilgamesh to appear next to Rin Tosaka immediately - although this is true, if it is really said so bluntly, it is himself who must be careful first, Tosaka Tokitomi remains motionless in a bowed posture.
"Huh." Shi Chen heard a sneer from the Ancient King, and the huge magic reaction disappeared immediately: "This king is approved." ”
