Chapter 21: Kiritsugu Blows Up the Building (Transitional Chapter)

"Kenneth Almelo Achpolud, what about Lancer? Why can't I feel my magical connection to Lancer anymore? "Sora. Nazelle. Sophia Li, in a hurry, ran into Kenneth's bedroom and asked.

"Sora......" Kenneth frowned, with Kenneth's character, if someone yelled at him, it was really incredible that he didn't break out at this time. But all because this woman is a very special existence for him.

Sola. Nazelle. Sophia Leigh. Kenneth's mentor, the daughter of Sophia Leigh, an authority on séance. And it is the goddess of fate who completes the glory of Kenes - that is, she is Keneth's fiancée.

The wedding of the two famous families of the Achipolud family and the Sophia family, the combination of a peerless genius and the daughter of a school teacher, is a well-known story in the clock tower. Although Sophiali's family heirloom magic engraving was passed on to her eldest brother, who inherited the family business, Sora did not have a high status as a magician.

But she also has the blood of the magic that has been passed down from generation to generation in Sophia's family. The combination of Sora, who has a magic circuit that surpasses ordinary people, and Kenis, who is known as a genius, will definitely bring even better children to the Aqipolud family.

However, even if it seems to others to have a brilliant future, it may not really be so happy for the person concerned.

Sola, who looks at her future husband with questioning eyes, and Kenneth, who looks ugly because she feels humiliated, will not make people feel in harmony with each other in any way.

"Kenneth, where the hell is Lancer?"

"Here, come out Lancer."

With Kenneth's words, a young man appeared, exuding a strange, impossible to look at. That's it – an overwhelming sense of presence.

Hair grows freely and maintains a translucent whiteness. The gaze is as sharp as a sharpened blade, and the red stone inlaid on the exposed chest also shines together, brewing a glossy and bewitching color. But the most striking thing is the golden armor that radiates divine brilliance that is not so much wrapped around the whole body, but as if it is integrated with the body.

“master。” The golden-colored servant said respectfully to Kenneth.

"Sora, this is the Lancer you're looking for." Kenneth pondered his tone and spoke softly to Sora.

"Kenneth, you know who I'm talking about, Dilumudo, where is he?" Kenneth couldn't help but feel angry about Sora's aggressive momentum.

"Watch your tone, Sora, that piece of shit is dead." Kenneth said harshly, "That waste, the Liberation Treasure didn't kill Saber, and even Saber couldn't beat a servant together, it was simply a waste of waste." ”

"Kenneth, it's obviously you who is the waste, it's obviously your command error, why is it Lancer's head to blame, you killed Lancer!" Listening to Sora's insults, Kenes didn't say anything, even though he was furious because of the humiliation.

If it had been someone else, he would not have endured such an insult a long time ago. Even if you bet on the dignity of the Aqipolud family, you must double the insult to the other party.

But there is only one person in this world, only Sora. Nazelle. Sophia Ali is the exception. Not only because she is the daughter of Kenneth's mentor, but also because she is Kenneth's fiancée, and her wedding will bring Kenneth more fame and status and the future he is pursuing.

This arrogant and clever young lady, who is like a huge jewel, is the only woman Kenneth is in love with in this world as a man. When they met for the first time, they didn't say a word, and Kenneth's heart was already captured by this woman.

As Kenneth and Sora were arguing, the fire bell rang without warning, interrupting his thoughts.

“…… How? What's going on?" Sora muttered in confusion, followed by the phone ringing in the room. The caller ID is from the front desk.

Unhurriedly, Kenneth picked up the receiver and listened to the attendant. After listening, Kenneth's eyes returned to the sharpness that is characteristic of magicians, "It seems that there is a fire downstairs, and the help desk tells us to evacuate quickly. Kenneth said to Sora as he put down the phone. It seems to be only a small fire, but the location of the fire is very scattered. It looks like arson. ”

"Arson? Tonight again?"

"Hmph, I don't think it's an accident."

Kenneth snorted disdainfully, and the anxiety and anger he had just felt a thousand and two disappeared, "This is a ploy to drive away the crowd." The opponent is a magician. I don't like to decide in a building with too many people. ”

Sora said with a nervous look, "So—an attack?"

"I'm afraid so. Maybe the guy who didn't have enough of the warehouse street just now is looking for fault again.

"Interesting. That's exactly what we're thinking, isn't it?"

"Yes, it does." Lancer nodded affirmatively, as if expecting to engage the enemy.

Of the seven masters, there is only one person who is so eager to attack Kenneth who has lost his servant - and that is Emiya Kiritsugu, and he is the only one who will be eager to take action against the master who has lost his servant. (It's not me who bullsits.,But Kiritsugu also killed after Director Ken signed the self-forcing spell.,It's a must for Kiritsugu.,In order to prevent the master who lost the servant from signing the contract again, he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots.。 )

"Lancer, go down to the floor to meet you. But don't send them away easily. ”

Lancer nodded at Kenes' instructions, "Understood." Just cut off the attacker's retreat and drive him here, right?"

"Yes. Now that the guests are here, how can they not let the family take a good look at my Kenneth's magic workshop?"

The hotel, which serves as a base of activity for Kenes, certainly needs to be completely renovated. This transformation is not material, but refers to the intensification of magic. Of the thirty-two floors, twenty-four are covered by Kenneth's barrier. It can even be called a magic fortress. There's also three Kenneth-only magic furnaces and dozens of spirits and spirits summoned in place of hounds. Even the sewers were not missing, and Kenneth alienated the space beneath the corridor.

Instead of breaking into enemy formations, it is better to first perfect your position. For the challenger who dares to step here, Kenneth El Meloy Aqipolud will be the true horror that he will fully comprehend.

"Now that the rest of the occupants have been evacuated, there's nothing to worry about." Kenneth smiled smirked, all that was needed for Kenneth now was action. Only action and results can erase today's stigma.

Yes, Kenneth now thirsts for blood. The black anger buried deep within him must be counteracted with someone's blood. Unfortunately, the enemy, who happened to be attacking now, was about to become the most suitable sacrifice.

"You say I'm an incompetent master, I'll let you take it back, Sora."

"Hmph." Sora snorted disdainfully.

Tenants who were woken up by a fire alarm in their sleep and diverted to the outdoor parking lot had an unsightly look on their faces as they feared fire, their sleepiness interrupted, and the unpleasantness of the cold of the night outside. Among these people, the waiters of the hotel are busy in a panic.

“…… Mr. Aqipolud! Kenes. Elumeroy. Mr. Aqipolud! Are you there?"

The name written on the guest book, only the last person left unconfirmed, and the front desk of the hotel shouted in an anxious voice. For this wealthy guest who has chartered all the suites on the top floor of the hotel, every waiter attaches great importance to him. In a sense, this is the last person they want to be in danger.

"Mr. Aqipolud! Are you there?"

"—I'm here. Please don't worry. ”

A loud voice came from behind the hotel front desk, but when the front desk turned around, it was confused. He was talking to a Japanese man in an old-fashioned coat.

It's too much of a joke. The angry front desk clerk was about to open his mouth to scold him - but he was caught by the man's gaze.

There was an indescribable strange gravitational pull in the man's eyes, and the front desk attendant couldn't escape his gaze, and he couldn't even speak.

"I'm Kenneth. Elumeroy. Aqipolud. My wife, Sora, is also with me. The Japanese man, whom he didn't know, said in a loud voice. And the front desk clerk accepted this statement without any suspicion as if he were obsessed.

“…… That's right. Ahhh That is true. ”

The front desk clerk put a mark on the name of "evacuated" on his hand, and finally made sure that all the guests were safe, and let out a long breath. And the question and incongruity that I had just had when I talked to Aqipolud disappeared without a trace.

After watching the hotel waiter continue to busily take care of the other tenants, Emiya Kiritsugu left the mixed crowd. The psychological hint just now, for ordinary people who don't have the ability to resist demons, will not be recognized in a short period of time.

Walking to a dark place some distance from the hotel, Kiritsugu took out the mobile phone in his pocket while making sure that there was no one else around. Mobile phones are very popular among the people, and they have been of considerable help to Kiritsugu. The simplest and most versatile radio communication device, and even if you hold it, you won't arouse anyone's suspicion.

First of all, you need to contact Maiya, who is in a surveillance position.

"Are you ready over there?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary. Always on call. Maiya is located diagonally across from the Hyatt Regency Fuyuki in a high-rise building under construction. There, Kenes can be clearly observed in the room they are in, and this is the location designated by Kiritsugu.

With a brief sigh, Kiritsugu pulled a cigarette case out of his pocket with one hand and pressed a series of numbers on the mobile phone with the other.

Kiritsugu dialed a blank number. But there was no reaction from the phone.

The modified communication loop was not connected to a telephone signal, but to the detonating tube of the C4 bomb.

The explosion of the bomb was only on a very small scale, and the sound of the explosion did not even reach the outside of the hotel.

However, instead of echoing in the night sky, there was the terrifying sound of reinforced concrete beginning to fall apart.

The evacuees who noticed the anomaly around them. He shouted in horror at the sight of the sudden change in the towering building.

"The hotel, the hotel has collapsed!"

The high-rise hotel, which is more than 150 meters high, maintains an upright posture and collapses as if it has been sucked in by the ground. Because all the facades collapsed inward, not a single piece of debris burst out, only because the dust from the collapse wiped out the surrounding streets. Directional blasting – an advanced blasting technique used primarily to destroy large high-rise buildings. By destroying the load-bearing walls and key pillars, the building is pressed inward due to its own weight. Use a minimum amount of explosives to achieve complete destruction. For Emiya Kiritsugu, who is proficient in all blasting techniques, both ancient and modern, and internal, he has a very unique experience with the art of destruction.

All the buildings in this Fuyuki City that are used as a base for magicians are listed on the destruction list of Emiya Kiritsugu. Hyatt Regency Dongmu is one of them. Kiritsugu obtained the blueprints of the building in advance, and found the point where the bomb would be set up in it. As long as you are fully prepared, the actual operation will not take even an hour.

Although the evacuees had tried to stay as far away as possible from the possible impact of the collapse, they were still blown away by the dust from the collapse and fell into a panic. As he watched the commotion, he spotted a gap with less wind pressure and lit the cigarette in his hand.

At the unnamed lookout, Maiya Kuyu fell motionless on one knee, an AUG sniper rifle with night vision that had been resting on her shoulder, the muzzle of which was resting on her erect left knee.

If the magician Kenneth notices Kiritsugu's plan and escapes through the window, Maiya Kuyu, who is lying in ambush here, will snipe at him. But as a result, this preparation was completely unfounded.

"Maiya, how's the situation over there?" From Kuyu Maiya's headphones came the voice of Emiya Kiritsugu on the ground asking. Maiya, who was holding the rifle in both hands, switched her mobile phone to headphone mode, freeing her hands.

"There was no movement until the last thirty-second floor. The target did not escape from the hotel. Maiya whispered into the microphone to Kiritsugu what she had observed. Although she had just witnessed a devastating devastation, there was not a hint of excitement in her voice.

Here the monitoring mission is over. Maiya took the bullet out of the gun that had ended the mission before it had a chance to play, put it in the box, then put the sniper rifle back on her back and stood up and walked down the stairs downstairs.
