"Ask for a commuter pass !!" Students, my teacher taught us that as a person with a festival, I will vote for a monthly pass, and I will be more motivated to give a few more monthly passes.

"So, last time, even though the Third Holy Grail War coincided with World War II, I had to oversee me, who was young at the time. And this war, I will continue to come here in Fuyuki City to oversee the battle between you. After hearing her father's words, Qili was puzzled.

"Wait, the Overseer sent by the Templar Church is supposed to be a neutral candidate, right? Then when his flesh and blood relatives go to war......"

"That's where the problem lies, so to speak, the blind spot in the rules."

The father, who has always been unsmiling, rarely showed a smile at this time, but Qili still couldn't accept that his father would show favoritism.

"Mr. Yan Feng, stop playing tricks on Ling Lang, let's get back to business."

Tosaka Toshitomi urged the bishop with words.

"Well, let's put it this way, everything you just told you is about the 'surface' of the Holy Grail War. The reason why I brought you here today to introduce you to Tosaka is because of other issues. ”

“…… What do you mean, Father? ”

"In fact, there has been solid evidence for a long time that the Holy Grail that appeared in the Winter Wood was not a relic left behind by the 'Son'. What was fought for in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War was only a replica of the Cauldron of Magna in 'Utopia', and it was only a treasure that was meaningful to magicians, and had nothing to do with our church. ”

Otherwise, how could the Templar Church be willing to take on such a peaceful role as "overseer." If it is indeed the Holy Grail of the Holy Relic, the Church will take it back from the magicians even if it violates the truce.

"If the Holy Grail is indeed a means to reach the 'Vortex of Roots', as it is intended, then it has nothing to do with my Templar Church. The magicians' desire for the 'roots' does not contradict the teachings of my church.

-- But we can't ignore this, because Fuyuki's Holy Grail is too powerful, after all, it's a universal wish fulfillment machine. If it falls into the hands of those who do evil, it may invite untold calamity. ”

(The Templar Church has been in a state of cold war with the Magic Society, and members on both sides are on fire.) It is simply impossible to increase the enemy's nuclear bomb-like combat power - the magic messenger. ）

"So how about getting rid of these people as heretics—"

"It's easier said than done. The magicians' attachment to the Holy Grail is extraordinary, and if they were to be interrogated directly, a conflict with the Magicians' Guild would inevitably be too costly.

In that case, it would be better to take the second place, and if we could give the Holy Grail of Fuyuki to 'the one we trust in.' ”

"I see." Qili gradually understood the purpose of this meeting, and also understood why his father came to Tosaka Tokitomi, who was a magician, to consult.

"The Tosaka clan converted to our religion when they practiced faith in their homeland in the past. As for Brother Shichen himself, first of all, his character is guaranteed, and secondly, the most important thing is that he has made it clear how he will use the Holy Grail. ”

Tosaka nodded and took the conversation.

"Reaching the 'roots' is the only long-cherished wish of my Tosaka clan. But, sadly, the Einzberen and Matong families, who were once like-minded with us, have gradually been lost as the generations have changed, and now they have forgotten their original purpose. Not to mention the four 'masters' recruited from other places, what they are pursuing is nothing more than some shallow **. ”

In other words, the only person recognized by the Templar Church as the holder of the Holy Grail is Tosaka Tokitomi. Qili has a rough understanding of the role she should play.

"So my mission is to participate in the Holy Grail War to ensure Tosaka's victory?"

"Exactly."

Speaking of which, the corners of Tosaka Tosaka's mouth showed a smile for the first time.

"Of course, on the surface, we still pretend to be enemies competing for the Holy Grail, but secretly we fight together and work together to eliminate the other five 'masters', so that victory is foolproof."

Regarding Shi Chen's words, Lizheng also nodded solemnly in agreement. The neutrality of the Templar Church has become an empty phrase, and the Church is involved in the Holy Grail War for its own sake.

But having said that, Qili can't question the rights and wrongs. Since the intention of the church is clear, it is only a matter of faithfulness to the task as a substitute.

"Qili, you will be sent from the Templar Church to the Magic Society and become my disciple**."

Tosaka Toshitomi continued to speak in an official tone, his expression extremely serious.

"Transfer...... Is it? ”

"The official paperwork has come down, Qili."

As he spoke, his father pulled out a document. It says that the object is Yan Feng Qili, and the signature is a joint signature of the Templar Church and the Magic Society. It happened yesterday and the documents were delivered here today, which surprised Qili.

It can be seen from this that there was no intention of asking for Qili's opinion at first, but Qili didn't care too much, and it didn't matter to him who lacked a target surname.

"From now on, you will live in my house and start the night ** magic. The next Holy Grail War is three years away, and you must become a magician who can qualify to handle the Servant. At this time, Tosaka Shichen had already put up the posture of a master.

"But- is that all right? If I openly worship you as a teacher, even if I turn against you, others will still suspect you and I will cooperate privately. ”

The elegant man, who was already counted as a Qili master, shook his head with a sneer and said, "You don't know about magicians yet. Once interests are involved, it is common for us to turn against each other and even kill the killer. ”

"Ahh

Although Qili didn't plan to understand what a magician is, he also knew the characteristics of a magician. As an executor, he had already fought against the "heretical" magicians many times, and more than one or twenty people had died at his hands. And what made him happy was that his son had also worshipped a great magician as his teacher, and he seemed to be much more powerful than his nominal master. Two of the followers of this family master are magicians who have betrayed the Lord, which makes Qili feel a kind of unexplained joy in her heart.

"Okay, any other questions?" Shi Chen continued to ask in the tone of a teacher.

Since Shi Chen finally said this, Qili said the question that had been hidden in his heart from the beginning: "There is only one point. You say that the choice of 'master' depends on the meaning of the Holy Grail, what is the point of this? ”

Shi Chen didn't seem to expect Qili to ask such a question at all, and the magician frowned slightly, and then replied, "Holy Grail...... Priority, of course, is given to those who need it more urgently. For example, as I said before, we will give priority to the representatives of our three major families. ”

"So all 'masters' have a reason to crave the Holy Grail?"

"Actually, it doesn't stop there. The appearance of the Holy Grail requires seven 'masters', and if the number of people is not gathered close to the deadline, ordinary people who would not have been selected will also receive the spell. Such examples seem to have appeared in the past.

"-Ahh

Shi Chen, who was talking, seemed to think of something from Qili's question.

"Qili, you still don't understand why you were chosen, do you?"

Qili nodded. He couldn't understand how he could have been chosen by something like the "Wish Fulfillment Machine".

"Well, it's kind of incredible. If you have any connection to the Holy Grail, it is only your father who is the overseer...... No, you can think of it that way, maybe that's because of that. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Maybe the Holy Grail has seen that the Templar Church is behind Tosaka, and if the executor of the Church gets the spell, he will definitely help Tosaka."

Speaking of this, Shi Chen summarized contentedly:

"In other words, in order for Tosaka Tokitomi and I to get the spell for two, the Holy Grail chose you. …… How, do you understand that? ”

The conversation ended in an arrogant tone.

“……”

This arrogance and self-confidence are very much in line with Tosaka Tokitomi, a man because he has a majesty that cannot be ignored.

As a magician, he is indeed extremely good, and Qili can see at a glance that he has the conceit corresponding to his strength, so he never doubts his decision.

That is to say, no matter how much you ask now, you will get the same answer from Shi Chen. That's what Qili came to to conclusion.

"When do I start studying?"

Qili hid the disappointment in her heart and asked another thing.

"I'm going to England first, there's something to do at the 'clock tower'. You go back first, and I've already passed on the word to the people at home. ”

"Understood...... Then I'll leave right away. ”

"Qili, you go down first. I still have something to say to Tosaka. ”

Nodding, Qili left the house silently alone. He was disappointed, very disappointed. After all, Qili came here to expect something interesting, but he didn't find out his goal, he was just arranged for a troublesome thing.

It was boring, but it was able to take some time off his feet. After all, didn't he also worship a powerful magician as his teacher, and now he can learn magic tricks. Do you say yes, ah, Xu said.

As he spoke, Qili turned his gaze to the rear, and behind him was his son, Yan Fengxu. (To be continued.) )
