"It's finally here, it's been a bumpy road, it's all your fault,......" Alice Phil von Einzbelen muttered dissatisfied, looking at the girl beside her with infinite resentment.

Yes, it wasn't smooth along the way, although there were romantic moves such as dancing with Saber in the air. But after all, romance is only for a while, romance cannot be eaten as a meal, in addition to the excitement and curiosity at the beginning, Alice Phil is more experienced in the cold wind in the air and the hard trek on the road, which is obviously incomparable to the warm cabin.

However, Alice Fair, who is nominally Princess Einzbelen, although she can be described as a standard housemaid who does not go out of the door and does not step out of the second door, she definitely enjoys the treatment of a princess. But Alice Fell is not a person who cannot endure hardships, and these hardships seem insignificant to the fate she has to bear.

On the contrary, she also enjoyed the trip, which she had never experienced with a hint of rebellious pleasure.

But out of the heart of the youngest daughter, Alice Phil had to complain about Saber.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Alice......" Artoria looked struck and muffled, but the smile on her lips revealed the girl's occasionally bad character.

"Uhh "Forget it, don't worry about that, let's go Saber," Alice Phil said, taking Saber's hand. "It's rare to come to Japan, so let's go and have a big meal before the war starts. Alice Fell half-dragged Saber and jumped towards the waiting hall. Saber looked at her expression, and for some reason, she seemed to see a brightness that she had never seen before.

"I say, Alice Fey...?!" Just as Artoria was about to say something helplessly, her body suddenly paused, and she stopped moving forward for a moment. The girl looked at the mountains in the distance, and her face became solemn unconsciously.

It's so powerful, has the war begun...

"What's wrong?, Saber, do you feel the breath of the other Servants?" asked Alice Field, who stopped smiling and grimacing.

"Ah, I feel it, the breath that comes from this place. As she spoke, Artoria's mouth curled into a wicked smile. "That's really nostalgic and disgusting. ”

“Saber。 Alice Fell exclaimed with some concern, seeing Artoria's somewhat unusual expression made her feel a little dangerous.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I remembered the days before I was alive for a while. ”

At this time, even Alice Fell understood the meaning of Artoria's expression, which was the desire to fight.

"I can't see it at all, Saber is such a petite girl. ”

It's really hard to imagine that it looks like such a petite body, and it should be like living happily under everyone's care, but it has an innate desire to fight, and it seems that from birth, it is destined to the fate of his life.

The King of Destiny, the fate he has carried since birth, may not be wrong.

"If you're in my place, I'm sure you won't be surprised, because habit is a terrible thing. ”

Without a hint of a wavering expression, Artoria looked at Alice Phil and said calmly.

"Well, maybe. Alice Phil was noncommittal, she hadn't experienced Artoria's life, so she knew she wasn't qualified to make irresponsible comments, just like the man in Emiya Kiritsugu, so she could only remain silent.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that, didn't we say that it was good to eat? Let's go, only the food should not be disappointed! Before the official start, let them have a good time. With absolute confidence, Artoria said with a smile.

The new capital of Fuyuki City

Inside the hotel

Only the lobby and reception desk of this hotel are decent, and at best it is a cheap hostel equivalent to a business hotel. From family travelers to men and women with one-night stands, the guests here are diverse. And because of this, it is the best place to hide your identity.

"Beep!"

Picked up the remote control in his hand and turned off the TV with a thirteen-inch screen in front of him. Emiya Kiritsugu exhaled softly, he had already understood the battle in front of Tosaka Mansion last night.

"What do you think of such a start? ”

"It seemed perfect. ”

Maiya immediately answered Kiritsugu's question.

Kuyu Maiya, whose relationship with Emiya Kiritsugu should perhaps be called "master and apprentice" in the language of the magician world. Kiritsugu himself has never made magic an object of his quest. It was just a kind of combat "method" to learn, so in his mind, there was never a concept of master and apprentice. Kiritsugu simply taught Maiya what he knew about the "means of fighting", and this was only because Maiya himself was also an integral part of his "means". No one knew where the Holy Grail was, and people were fighting desperately to fulfill their dreams that they knew they couldn't realize.

Therefore, the relationship between Kiritsugu and Maiya is even earlier than Alice Phil. The other side of his blood debt didn't even know about his wife, but Maiya, who had fought with him, knew it clearly.

Although Maiya is a beauty with good facial features, she never wears makeup. Her elongated eyes often give a cold feeling. Although her silky black hair may have fascinated many men, as long as she has a sharp look, no matter what man will give up the idea of approaching her.

Unknowingly, the two have been working together for more than ten years. Although she was only a little girl when they first met, once she was stripped of the immaturity of her appearance, her innate sharpness began to be revealed.

Working with such a beauty, the average person is likely to feel tired due to excessive stress, but Kiritsugu is the opposite. Maiya was always able to make correct and unchangeable judgments based on the situation at the time, and Kiritsugu was by her side, but he was never ashamed of his meanness, nor did he hate her coldness. Perhaps, this is also a sense of "peace of mind".

"The assassin has a big problem, and from the picture, he is more like Saber than an assassin. If it weren't for the fact that we had summoned Saber, we might have misunderstood. Moreover, that kind of open fighting style, the powerful martial arts of Assassin reflect the strength of Archer. It's as if the Tosaka family knew that the Assassin was coming, and they did it on purpose.

Kiritsugu nodded. is worthy of the subordinates he taught, and the ideas are exactly the same as his own.

"If you think about it that way, it's incredible. Since Tosaka had time to wait for the enemy to come to the door, why didn't he use this time to go out directly to meet him, but deliberately showed the servant. ”

The Tosaka family had experienced the second and third Holy Grail battles, and their masters must have been familiar with the theories of war. Therefore, it is impossible for him not to know that his home base camp, the Tosaka Mansion, is being watched by others.

However, Tosaka Tokitomi did not hesitate to send the servant. From the average person's point of view, this is definitely the next step.

The so-called Holy Grail War is a duel between the heroic warriors who were famous on the battlefield in the past. What those heroes inherit in most cases contains some tactical essentials, strengths and weaknesses, and so on. In other words, the Heroic Spirits have already exposed their skills and weaknesses from the beginning.

"Because of this, in the Servant War, the true identity of the Heroic Spirit must be maintained, so when calling the Heroic Spirit, the real name is never called, but the rank is used. ”

And last night, Tosaka used the servant and similar nirvana tricks without reservation. While this is not a fatal mistake, it can be easily avoided, such as luring the assassin into the mansion and starting a fight. Tosaka didn't even care if he was being watched or not.

"Something that should have been kept secret was seen, perhaps because it was wanted to be shown to others in the first place. ”

To Maiya's words, Kiritsugu nodded again.

"Definitely. If you do this, what kind of value will it be to whom, and the answer to this question comes out after thinking about it...... Maiya, how is the master of the assassin. ”

"I took refuge in the church last night and have been secured by an overseer. It is said that the priest's name is Yan Feng Qili. ”

Hearing the name, Kiritsugu's eyes seemed to have a cool fear in his eyes.

"Maimi, go to the Fuyuki Church to arrange the demons, just one first. ”

“...... Is it possible? Master interference with the inviolability of the church is strictly forbidden. ”

"Get as close as possible without being discovered by the priest. You don't have to control it too much, and you don't have to make it do anything. ”

Kiritsugu's instructions made Maiya a little dazed, and she couldn't help but frown.

"So it's not meant to spy on the church?"

"Just act like you're watching. Or just be careful and hide in a place where no one will be noticed. ”

“...... Be. I understand. ”

Even if he doesn't understand Kiritsugu's intentions, Maiya will never ask any further. She immediately sent a message to one of the bats that was monitoring the Tosaka Mansion, ordering it to fly to the Fuyuki Church outside of the new capital.

"Assassin, maybe, still alive, Yan Feng, Qili......."
