After about an hour, the group came to a building built on a hillside.

"Wow, that's amazing......" Emiya Shirou exclaimed.

The building in front of me is a church, that is, the Yanfeng Church in the mouth of Rin Tosaka, the church is very luxurious, all the upper platform is occupied by the church, while climbing the hillside, there is a flat square to welcome visitors, and the church built in the back, although not so big, but the high and powerful visitors, subtly set off the sense of religious majesty.

Walking here, Saber stopped and said, "Shirou, I'll stay here." ”

"Huh? Why, they're all here, you can't just leave Saber behind. Emiya Shirou shouted.

"I didn't come to church, I came to protect Shirou. If Shirou's destination was the church, he wouldn't have gone far. So, I'll just wait here. Saber said flatly, because it seemed that she wouldn't go in anyway, so let's respect her.

Emiya Shirou nodded: "I see." Then I'm gone. ”

"Yes. No one can rest assured, Master. After Saber finished saying this, she didn't know why, she deliberately glanced at Feng Jie, but her action was not taken to heart by Emiya Shirou.

When you enter the church, the first thing that catches your eye is the large and solemn chapel, and since there are so many seats, there must be many people who come to visit on a regular basis. Since he has been entrusted with the management of such a large church, the priest here seems to be of an outstanding personality.

"Tosaka. What kind of man is the priest here? Emiya Shirou asked in a low voice.

"What kind of people? It's hard to explain...... Even though I've known each other for ten years, I don't know much about that guy's personality. Rin Tosaka frowned slightly, and then gave Emiya Shirou such an answer.

Emiya Shirou was a little taken aback, and said, "I've known each other for ten years? That's a really long-term relationship. It can't be relatives or something, right? ”

"I'm not a relative, but I'm my guardian. By the way, he is my senior brother and the second master. Rin Tosaka had a look of displeasure on her face, as if she was also dissatisfied with the priest.

"Huh...... Senior brother is, senior brother who is a magician!? Emiya Shirou felt that since he saw Rin Tosaka tonight, he had been surprised more and more.

Rin Tosaka had a surprised expression, and replied very flatly: "That's right." What's so surprising about this? ”

"Because he's a priest, right!? The priest still uses magic, isn't that forbidden! "Emiya Shirou wants to go crazy, because magic is a thing that conflicts with the priest's beliefs! And Rin Tosaka actually looked like he was not surprised.

“…… Wrong. Is the priest here from here? Emiya Shirou suddenly thought of another question.

Rin Tosaka nodded as she walked, "Yes." He's the guy appointed as the Overseer of the Holy Grail War, a powerful vicar. …… However, it is questionable whether there is God's blessing or not. ”

Rin Tosaka walked to the altar with the sound of Kaka's footsteps, it would not be good for the priest to come and disturb him when he was not there, not to mention that it was already so late, and it was impossible to be in the chapel, if you wanted to find him, you should be in the private room inside the church.

Seeing that no one was there, Emiya Shirou looked left and right, and asked Rin Tosaka by the way: "...... Hmm. So, what's the name of that priest? I just said that Yan Feng or something......"

"The name is Yanfeng Qili. My father's student has known him for more than 10 years. …… However, if you can, you don't want to know each other. Rin Tosaka still had a look of disgust on her face, and it could be seen that she really didn't like this fake priest.

I feel the same way. Me too, I don't want disciples who don't respect Master. ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and a tall figure stepped out from behind the altar.

"I didn't respond to the few times I called you, but I brought strange guests. …… Whew, is he the seventh man, Rin? ”

It was a tall, middle-aged man in a priest's uniform, and he was supposed to be the administrator of this church, Father Yan Fengqili.

As soon as Emiya Shirou saw him, for some reason, a heavy sense of oppression came to his face. There was indeed no trace of murder or hostility in the priest, but there was a sense of coercion that could make the air on his shoulders heavier.

"Yes. Although he is a magician, he is completely a layman on the inside, so he didn't find it. …… I remember that there was a rule that people who became masters should report here, right? Although you set your own rules, you can follow them this time. Rin Tosaka had a completely indifferent expression, and he was very cold, just like a tsundere student who disdained to talk to a scumbag.

"That's good. I see, thanks to the boy. The priest named Yan Feng Qili slowly looked at Emiya Shirou.

In his sight, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but take a step back.

"I am the one who was appointed to run this church. Your name, Seventh Master. Yan Feng Qili asked with a smile.

"-- Emiya Shirou. However, I don't remember any masters? Emiya Shirou secretly exerted his strength, and in order not to lose to this priest, he stared at him.

"Emiya-Shirou?!"

"Huh—──"

Emiya Shirou suddenly felt the weight on his back turn to a chill, and the priest smiled quietly, as if he had encountered something pleasing to him......

Then, at this time, Feng Jie suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Wei Gong Shirou half-covered.

Yan Feng Qili set his eyes on Feng Jie and asked, "So, what about you?" This gentleman. Aren't you also a Master? ”

Feng Jie smiled slightly and said, "Where, I'm not, I'm just an old comrade-in-arms of his father." Entrusted by him, he came to Fuyuki City to take care of Shirou for a while. ”

"Oh......" Although the expression on Yan Fengqili's face remained the same, his tone changed slightly, "So that's ......"

Should it be said to be an exclamation? Yan Feng Qili's tone seemed to contain some special emotion, and then, he no longer paid attention to Feng Jie, but said to Wei Gong Shilang: "Then let's start." Shirou Emiya, you're Saber's Master, right? ”

"That's not right! I did have a contract with Saber. But even if you tell me about the Master, it's still the Holy Grail War, I don't understand it at all. If you need to be a real magician, it's better to choose another master. Emiya Shirou said categorically.

Yan Feng nodded politely: "...... I see, it's serious. Is he really not aware of anything, Rin. ”

"So it's a layman, isn't it? This part is to teach him from the beginning. …… You're good at this kind of remedy, right? Rin Tosaka urged the priest with an unhappy look.

"Oh. I see, is it so? Very well, you're going to ask me for this is the first time. Even if I thank Emiya Shirou, it's not enough. Yan Feng Qili seemed to smile happily.

Emiya Shirou listened, what to say, listening to this conversation seemed to make him even more uneasy.

"First, correct your mistakes. It can't be given to other people, and if it does, it can't be dismissed. A person with a mantra engraved on his hand cannot be dismissed, no matter who he is. Let's accept this fact for a moment. Yan Feng Qili first dispelled Emiya Shirou's wishful thinking.

"I can't get rid of you, why?" Emiya Shirou was puzzled.

Yan Feng Qili explained: "The spell is also a stigma. It is the trial given to the master. You can't say that you give up because it's inconvenient. The pain will not go away until you get the Holy Grail. ”

"If you say you want to quit and become a Master, there's nothing better than getting the Holy Grail to fulfill your wishes. Everything will be the same as before, Shirou Emiya. You can do what you want, even if you want to dig up all the mud that has been stored inside. By the way, it's possible to start all over again......"

For some reason, when he said this, the expression on Yan Fengqili's face became very subtle, as if he was expecting something, and as if he was pitying someone, but he couldn't suppress the pleasure in his heart.

"So just look forward to it. If that day comes, you will be grateful to have been chosen to be the Master. If you want to get rid of the burns that are invisible to your eyes, you just need to accept the stigma. Yan Feng Qili smiled happily.

"Wha--" Emiya Shirou felt dizzy, there was no point in this priest's words at all! It's just that the more he listens, the more confusing he becomes...... However, this guy's words soaked deep into his chest, sticking like blood

"Qili, don't go around in circles. I mean, explain the rules to him. No one told you to tear open your wounds! A cold voice overshadowed the voice of the priest's words.

"────Far away, Far Saka?" The confused mind suddenly cleared up because of the voice. It's Rin Tosaka, it's she who stopped Yan Feng Qili's nonsense.

"That's right. Because it is in vain to say anything to this kind of person, I want to say that at least let him continue to erase his morality wrongly. …… Hmph, as the saying goes, good deeds are rewarded, and I can't help but look forward to it. Yan Feng Qili couldn't help but hum and laugh quietly.

"How. Are you saying it's good for you to help him? Rin Tosaka glanced at him.

"Yes. Because helping others will one day also help yourself. …… However, it is useless to lecture you now. So let's get back to business, Shirou Emiya. The war you are involved in is called the 'Holy Grail War'. It's a battle between seven Masters and seven Servants—did Rin already tell you that? ”
