Night.

When Luo Tianhuan rescued Sakura, a short battle also came to an end in the courtyard of the Tosaka family's house.

It is not so much a fight, but perhaps a one-sided torture.

The glittering and arrogant king easily killed Assassi who broke into the Tosaka family in a devastating manner

。

Even, the process of the battle was less than a minute.

And the whole process of this battle has been faithfully transmitted to the eyes of the various masters through the many demons lurking around the Tosaka family.

In a private house in Fuyuki City.

“Assassi

Killed? ”

Webb Wilwitt, who seemed a little overwhelmed by this overly simplistic result, opened his eyes and was disappointed, because the battle was over at once, and he had not yet learned anything important from it.

He now lives in the home of an elderly couple.

The one-sided torture he had just seen had been transmitted by him through the vision of the rats controlled by the demons.

Although Webb is still just a student, his grades are not very good, and his personality is still a little cowardly, he can still do this level of magic.

To be honest, he felt that in this Holy Grail War, no master was more bitter than him, he was just a student in the clock tower, and his grades were not very good, in order to prove himself, he stole the teacher's holy relics, participated in this Holy Grail War, and even, in order to summon the servants, he also ran to a chicken farm, spent a day catching three roosters, and finally drew a magic circle to summon heroic spirits with chicken blood.

I have to say that Weber is indeed very hard.

"Hey, Ride

, there is progress, I didn't expect that the Holy Grail War has just begun, Assassi

was killed. Webb turned to the tall man lying on the bed.

The strong man has a red beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is very tall, at least two meters tall.

There is no doubt that this is the servant summoned by Weber.

"Hmm." Ride

just simply answered, and continued to roll over and sleep, without saying anything.

"Hey, don't take it seriously! Assassi

It's been killed! The Holy Grail War has begun! Webb was a little upset with the Servant's reaction.

"Hmm." Ride

Or that reaction.

"Hey!" Webb, who couldn't bear it anymore, raised his voice.

Ride

Reluctantly turning around, he lazily said to Weber, "I say, that Assassi."

It's nothing at all, just a rat hiding in the shadows and stealing, and it's no match for me at all. ”

"......" looked at Ride

With this nonchalant look, Webb was deflated and sighed helplessly.

Speaking of which, Assassi

How was it killed? ”Ride

He asked Webb as he slowly sat up from the bed.

"Huh?" Because of Ride

The question was a bit sudden, and Webb couldn't react to it.

"I said, defeat Assassi

Didn't you see that servant? ”Ride

Asked again.

"......" Webber scratched his head in some distress, he saw that he did see it, but because the distance between the demon and the Tosaka family was a little far, he didn't see it clearly.

“…… That seems to be a servant of Tosaka.,Whether it's from the appearance.,Judging from the attack moves.,It's a powerful guy with a golden light.。 Anyway, it was in that moment, I don't know how, Assassi

I didn't see it very clearly. After thinking about it, Webb said slowly.

"The most critical part is that you didn't see it clearly, you idiot." Ride

Angrily, he stretched out his hand and flicked Webb's forehead.

Although Ride

It was just a light flick, but Webb, who was caught off guard, still felt a lot of pain, and his body fell backwards all of a sudden, and he fell to the ground.

“Ride

！ "Looking at Ride, who had already rolled over and fallen asleep

Webb covered his forehead and screamed angrily.

Such a scene, no matter how you look at it, will feel like this is a somewhat strange combination because of Ride

It seems to be a strong attack, but Weber, as the master, is a weak one.

……

The next morning, on a plane to the city of Toki.

"I'm about to go to the country where Kiritsugu was born, and I don't know what it's like." Looking at the clouds outside the plane, Alice Phil whispered.

After summoning the Heroic Spirit yesterday and making it a servant, the Alice Phil family set off for Higashiki City, the site of the Holy Grail War.

However, in order to make all kinds of preparations, Emiya Kiritsugu rushed to Dongmu City overnight last night, so on the plane, there was no figure of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Looking at the clouds outside the plane window, Alice Phil had mixed feelings in her heart.

For her, this trip to Fuyuki City may be the last time of her life.

Therefore, she wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the country where Kiritsugu was born.

Perhaps, for her, at the end of her life, being able to stay with Illya and Emiya Kiritsugu is already the best situation, and she does not regret this choice.

But, Illya, don't be okay.

Thinking that her daughter Illya had become the Lord and had to participate in the brutal Holy Grail War, Alice Phil, as a mother, was very worried.

Lowering her head, Alice Fell saw her beloved daughter sleeping soundly on her lap, but she couldn't laugh, and the three spells on the back of Illya's hand made her feel a little dazzling, so that her face was full of sorrow.

For mothers, children are always the most important treasure.

"Alice Phil, are you worried about the next battle?" Sabe, sitting across from Alice Phil

asked, as a girl, she was wearing a men's suit, and her blonde hair coiled behind her head was tied into a short ponytail, looking heroic, not only did she have no sense of disobedience, but she was even very handsome.

Of course, the height aspect is a hard injury.

"No, Sabe

, I'm just a little worried about Illya......" Alice Phil looked up, looked at the servant summoned by her husband, and replied softly.

For the legendary King Arthur, Alice Fell felt that although she didn't get along very well with her husband, she was unexpectedly compatible with herself, so she got along very happily.

"Really? Rest assured, I assure you, she will never have a problem. ”Sabe

Nodding his head, he assured earnestly.

"With your words, then I am relieved." Hearing this, the tension on Alice Fair's face suddenly disappeared a lot.

Truth be told, bringing Illya into this Holy Grail War was never her and Emiya's Kiritsugu's will.

Because that's too dangerous, after all, the Holy Grail War is not only a battle between servants, but also a battle between masters, so it will kill people.

Neither Alice Phil nor Kiritsugu Emiya wanted their young daughter to participate in this cruel war.

But there was no way, Illya became the master and had to participate in this war.

Moreover, as the patriarch of Einzbelen, Ahad's attitude this time was very tough, and even Alice Fell herself couldn't resist.

"Alright, Alice Phil, you can rest first, there are still hours before you reach your destination, and I will call you when you arrive." Sabe

Said to Alice Fell.

"Ah, okay, I see." Alice Phil nodded, leaned back against the limp chair, and closed her eyes.

Turn your head, Sabe

Quietly looking at the scenery outside the window, I don't know what I was thinking.

……

Higashigi City, in the middle of a small inn room.

Emiya Kiritsugu stood inside with a blank face, and across from him, his loyal subordinates were reporting the situation.

"Last night, there was a battle at the Tosaka Mansion, and I have made a video of it. Plus, all the gear is ready. The short-haired female killer named Maiya Kuyu said to Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Well, show me the footage first." Emiya Kiritsugu nodded.

Although he also knows some magic, he is different from other magicians in that he does not use magic as an object of his own search for truth, but only uses magic as a means of fighting.

Therefore, unlike ordinary magicians, his means of fighting will not be limited to magic, and the means of modern technology are also the means he often uses.

Maiya Kuyu turned on the TV in the room, and on the thirteen-inch screen, the battle that took place in the Tosaka Mansion last night was recorded in its entirety, not clear enough, but it was enough to figure out what had happened.

Finally, among the weapons flying in the sky, one wearing a skeletal mask Assassi was seen

Helpless, he was wiped out by a glittering figure.

After watching this short battle video, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help frowning and watched the video again.

When seen in the Assassi eliminated

When there was a clearly visible rank mark on the white bone mask he was wearing, he was stunned for a moment.

"It's ...... What's going on? Emiya Kiritsugu had an incredulous expression.

Assassi

？

Assassi

It should be on its side, why is it there? Is there a second Assassi?

？

"What's wrong?" Kuyu Maiya looked strangely at Emiya Kiritsugu, who was a little wrong, you know, as a magician killer, Emiya Kiritsugu rarely showed this kind of expression.

“Assassi

Let's come out first. Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath to calm his mood a little and said into the air.

Then, in the somewhat puzzled eyes of Kuyu Maiya, Xiao Bingli, who had withdrawn from the spirit body, suddenly appeared in the room.

After all, she came to this world as a heroic spirit, and naturally she can be spiritualized.

"It's ...... Assassi

？ Looking at the glamorous and peerless Xiao Bingli, Kuyu Maiya was stunned for a while before she reacted, and at the same time, she also understood why Emiya Kiritsugu was so surprised just now.

“Assassi

What's going on? Emiya Kiritsugu pointed to the picture playing on the TV screen, staring at Xiao Bingli, this unexpected situation made him a little puzzled, and even, he began to doubt Xiao Bingli's identity.

You must know that in the Holy Grail War, there are a total of seven Servants, and each Servant's job is different, which is Sabe

(Swordsman), A

che

(Archer), La

ce

(Spearman), Ride

(cavalry), Caste

(Magician), Assassi

(The Assassin) and Be

se

ke

(Berserker), basically, there will be no duplication of jobs.

Other than that, the white bone mask is almost Assassi

The logo, so to speak, no one will counterfeit that kind of thing.

And now, there are two Assassis

, although there is an Assassi

It has been wiped out, but in this Holy Grail War, two Assassi appeared

, This is an indisputable fact, which makes Emiya Kiritsugu have to be suspicious.

"I don't know. Also, you've seen my job placement too, so there's no need for me to lie to you. Xiao Bingli glanced at the picture on the TV and said coldly, his face was like frost.

As she said, as the master, Emiya Kiritsugu can check the information of the servant, even if it is a hostile servant, it is also possible, although you can't see the ability value, skills and treasures, but the most basic things like the job can still be seen.

Therefore, the stunningly beautiful woman in front of her is indeed Assassi

There is no doubt about that.

It is precisely because of this that Emiya Kiritsugu chose to take her with him and Sabe, who is too upright

Compare, Assassi

is the best fit for him.

In addition, he made Sabe

Follow Alice Phil and Illya, and by the way, Alice Phil can be disguised as Sabe

, on the surface, to attract the attention of others, so that he can carry out assassination operations in secret.

"I see, you go down first." I don't understand why there are two Assassi

, Emiya Kiritsugu simply didn't want to think so much.

Xiao Bing didn't say anything, turned into a spirit again, and disappeared into the room.

"It seems that this Holy Grail War has gone unusual, and there have been two Assassi in it

。 After Xiao Bingli disappeared, Kuyu Maiya also came back to his senses and said to Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Indeed, this has never happened in the previous Holy Grail Wars, and there may be some unexpected changes, so we need to be careful." Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the video playing back and forth on the TV screen, and his face returned to calm.

……

In a hotel room, the TV is broadcasting news on the air.

“…… The next thing to report is the serial killings in Fuyuki City. Last night, another murder was discovered in a residential area near the shopping street. After investigation, the scenes of the three murders that have occurred so far have been found to have mysterious patterns of suspected magic arrays drawn by the blood of the victims. The modus operandi is extremely cruel and is suspected to be a religious/religious fanatic. We would like to remind all residents of Fuyuki City to take precautions, please take care of your children, and do not leave them alone at home unless necessary. If you find anything suspicious, contact the police immediately......"

Looking at the picture on the TV, Luo Tianhuan took a sip of fat house happy water, squinted his eyes slightly, and his gaze was cold: "Is it Yusheng Ryunosuke, that perverted murderer...... It seems that he should have become the master himself, and he summoned Marshal C by mistake......"

Before the host finished reporting, Luo Tianhuan turned off the TV and threw the remote control on the bedside table.

Maybe it was woken up by the sound coming from the TV, Sakura, who was sleeping on the bed, opened her eyes, woke up, sat up like a puppet, looked at the surrounding environment blankly, and then looked at Luo Tianhuan quietly, her eyes were dim.

Hearing the movement behind him, Luo Tianhuan turned his head and saw that Sakura had woken up, so he raised his hand and said hello: "Wake up, good morning, Sakura." ”

"Morning ...... Morning. Sakura opened her mouth and answered, but her cute face was lifeless and expressionless.

Seeing Sakura's puppet-like performance, Luo Tianhuan couldn't help but sigh and feel pity.

Due to her age, Sakura's brain is not fully developed, which determines that she does not have enough cognitive ability to objectively evaluate her goals, let alone channel her various emotions.

In the original book, Sakura experiences despair and pain for a long time, but she can't wait for help, and is manipulated like a puppet by Makiri's dirty inkstone, and then she is wantonly toyed with and abused/humiliated by Shinji Makiri, so that in the end, she gives up to fight against this cruel fate, and she doesn't even want to think.

And now, although Luo Tianhuan rescued Sakura, Sakura's body transformation has been going on for a long time, which has caused very serious trauma to Sakura's young mind, so that she has closed her heart, and her temperament has changed greatly, becoming what she is now.

Sighing, Luo Tianhuan didn't have any good way to help Sakura get out of the shadows.

It will take a long time to heal her psychological wounds, and there must be a good living environment, so that she can open up again and change back to her original personality.

Tsk, anyway, no matter what, there are thousands of mistakes, and they are all the fault of Tosaka Shichen, and they are the kind that can't be washed.
