23 Monitor the Grace of the Peak

"I apologize for secretly sending spies to the side of our allies. But both Isseari-kun and Soichiro-sama can testify that I just prevented my allies from plotting against us behind my back, and I didn't tear up this covenant that was very beneficial to me, and I was also doing the work of modifying the Holy Grail system wholeheartedly.

I think...... Since you're willing to send the Assassin back, you should be able to understand and forgive me. ”

When Ji Feng and Joan of Arc and his party stepped into the Yanagito Temple for the second time tonight and returned the discovered spy to the allies who were making small moves behind the scenes, Caster's hospitality and apologetic tone were still as polite and sincere as ever, Soichiro Katsugi still didn't say a word like a wood carved clay sculpture, Archer was still playing with her bear attentively, and only Yanagito Kazunari's face was flushed and restless, as a "glasses character" was really disappointing.

Yanato Issei never thought of planting a spy, even if the opposite side was the "female fox" Rin Tosaka, who made him extremely vigilant, he never thought that he would continue to doubt the other party's true intentions after agreeing to form an alliance, and use the method of planting spies to ensure his own safety.

Of course, he didn't wait until his teammates planted a spy on his allies, and he had to reveal his teammates' petty actions to his allies. After all, he is also human, and he will be separated from relatives, and as long as Caster does not tear up the covenant he made with Rin Tosaka, he will not stop some of Caster's "preventive arrangements".

But...... It's a shame to be caught doing a little action behind your back!

"Ha, you don't have to worry about the spy, if it were, I would definitely leave her behind to find out what my allies really thought.

But now that your Assassin's identity has been revealed, you won't be able to sneak into us in the future, right? So I have a proposal for a new stalking object......"

After Caster apologized, Ji Feng immediately forgave her on behalf of Rin Tosaka and Illyasfil. IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF GENEROSITY, BUT BECAUSE JI FENG REALLY DOESN'T THINK SENDING SPIES AS A THING, AND HIS MASTER RIN TOSAKA ACTUALLY STILL MINDS A LITTLE. However, she soon had no energy to mind the other party's espionage, because Ji Feng's next suggestion took away all of her mind at once:

"Rider has been confirmed to be eliminated. The only Servant left alone is a Lancer with a spell, but I wouldn't recommend that the Assassin go out and search the Lancer and his MASTER's hideout and go undercover.

From now until the end of the Holy Grail War, we all live in Liudong Temple, and we have been working together when we go out, and it would be nice to kill Lancer when we find her again.

I hope that the Assassin will be able to get to the Templar Overseer, Yan Fengqili, and keep an eye on him 24 hours a day. ”

"Huh? Qi, Qili?

Is there something wrong with him? Be...... It's because Lancer's MASTER knows Qili, so you doubt ......"

Although Rin Tosaka usually calls her father's only disciple by his first name, as if he is very uninterested in this senior brother, when Ji Feng suggests that the Assassin with spy skills be sent to Yan Feng Qili's side to keep an eye on him, she still can't help but ask Ji Feng for the reason.

After all. She and Yan Feng Qili don't have any grudges, but they are incompatible by nature...... In addition, when I see this senior brother who also participated in the last Holy Grail War, I will think of my father's death, so I always feel a little awkward and don't know how to get along with him.

But she actually ...... to this senior brother who taught her magic and Bajiquan She is very grateful, and her mother is also grateful for her great respect for her teacher, and after her master's death, she took on the responsibility of teaching her master's only daughter, and gave up her great future to take over from her father in the church in Dongmu City.

In addition, in addition to the master-apprentice relationship. The Tosaka family and the Yanfeng family are still close friends, otherwise her father, Tosaka Tokitomi, would not easily teach his gem magic to outsiders - even if the gem magic is not unique to the Tosaka family.

Such a senior brother, if he said "there may be something wrong", Rin Tosaka was the first to believe it. It's just that Ji Feng has never been untargeted in what he says and does. Since he suggested targeting Yan Feng Qili, who was not a direct participant in the Holy Grail War, there must be a reason why he had to target Yan Feng Qili and not someone else.

"I asked about the relationship between Yan Feng Qili and your family, and I also specifically asked him about his thoughts on Yan Feng Qili when he told him about the last Holy Grail War that he knew.

Although Yan Feng Qili has been assisting your father in the battle for the Holy Grail. He himself doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in the Holy Grail, but he was the last person to see Jack the Ripper anyway, and even survived Jack the Ripper's attack.

――Yes. I'm not spying on him because he has something to do with Lancer's MASTER, but because he might have something to do with Jack the Ripper! ”

"Jack the Ripper? Why was she brought up?

DO YOU THINK IT'S QILI WHO HELPED JACK THE RIPPER SURVIVE UNTIL NOW, OR DO YOU THINK HE'S THE MASTER OF JACK THE RIPPER?

No...... Although this speculation is not absolutely impossible, it is ...... He had no reason to do that! ”

When talking about the suspicion of Yan Feng Qili, Rin Tosaka didn't excuse it in a word, but he really didn't think that the senior brother who didn't seem to be interested in everything in the world would do those "troublesome things" for Jack the Ripper.

At this time, the "doing this" in her mouth did not include the speculation that Yan Feng Qili instructed Jack the Ripper to kill her father, she didn't even think about it in that direction - after all, the other party still took care of herself and her mother for free after her father's death, so what reason did such a disciple have to kill his master?

"Don't get excited, I'm just delineating the suspect based on all kinds of clues. As for the reason thing...... There are objective and subjective, normal and abnormal, so we don't have to guess too much in advance.

The reason why I investigated Yan Feng Qili was because he 'unexpectedly' survived the attack on Jack the Ripper, but also because of the nun we saw silently following him when we went to report to the church.

I used 'special means' to check, and the nun named 'Liudao Lingxia' was an official nun registered with the church, she was the eldest lady of a wealthy family when she was a child, but after her parents died in an accident, she became a 'skilled woman' for various reasons--the inheritance and insurance money that she should have received had nothing to do with her for various reasons.

She didn't go to school after graduating from high school, and when she became a nun, she was 24 years old, and this age is for a 'skilled woman'...... In short, such a woman suddenly went to him to become an official nun after Yan Feng Qili inherited his father's position, and Jack the Ripper has a very good relationship with a 'skilled woman', so anyone will have some associations, right?
