Late at night, Reilly and Riven were walking on a deserted path. A gust of sea breeze blew through, blowing Ruiwen's silver hair.

"Is this the sea?" Rui Wen stared at the horizon and smiled childlikely, "She's so beautiful." ”

"Seeing the sea for the first time?" asked Reilly, smiling.

"yes. Rui Wen touched her head embarrassedly and said, "I grew up in an orphanage, and I have never seen the sea." ”

"That's right. Reilly touched his chin and said, "It's a rare opportunity, it's better to ...... Cut, an uninvited guest. ”

"It's Servant!" Riven also spotted an enemy not far away.

The other party deliberately exposed his aura as if provocatively, and when Reilly and Rui Wen looked over, the man did not lean over, but gradually moved away.

"Looks like he's trying to lure us there. Reilly said with interest.

"Seems to be a warrior who likes to fight from the front. Rui Wen said excitedly: "I'll kill him!"

"Ah, don't be careless. ”

To the east of the seaside park is a warehouse street, separating the new capital from the industrial area in the east. At night, it is difficult to see a human being here. The dim light illuminates an empty scene, and cranes without operators are neatly arranged on the seashore, looking like giant beasts.

This place is suitable as a dueling arena between the Servants.

Like a duelist who accepts a challenge, Riven walks on the wide road with dignity, while the other party stands calmly in the middle of the road.

The two Servants confronted each other from a distance of ten meters, observing their opponents.

Seeing the spear in the man's hand, Reilly thought he was most likely a Lancer Rank. Although the spear is one of the best weapons for cavalry, Reilly feels that the possibility of the other party being a Rider is very low, because the man is not only carrying a spear of about two meters, but also holding a short spear of seventy centimeters in the other hand. This combination is more powerful in foot combat.

Both guns are wrapped in strips of cloth with charms engraved on them, making it difficult to see them for what they are, presumably as a countermeasure to hide their identities.

For most Heroic Spirits, once someone else learns their identity, they are likely to be targeted. For example, the Greek hero Achilles, once his identity is revealed, others will definitely attack his heels desperately. (Achilles' body is invulnerable, only the heel is a weakness)

"I waited for a long time, but no one dared to come...... The only one who responds to me is you. The spear-wielding Servant did not take a battle stance, but said with a complacent expression, "What is that greatsword...... It's strange, I've never heard of a heroine like you. You're supposed to be Saber, though, right?"

"You're Lancer. Riven nodded and said, "My name is Riven, I used to be a warrior in Noxus, and now I am loyal to my lord, Lord Reilly. ”

"Noxus?" Lancer looked puzzled, "I've never heard of that name. However, since you have already put your name on it, I ...... it too."

"Don't do anything superfluous!Lancer!" a voice that couldn't tell the difference between a man and a woman suddenly came, "Hurry up and get rid of that Servant." ”

“...... I see. Lancer was clearly unhappy with the request, but he eventually obeyed the Master's orders.

"Your Excellency is the Master of Lancer, right?" said Ray Lang, "Since you're here, why don't you show up? The Holy Grail War isn't just a matter between Servants. Are you going to hide like a rat until the end?"

"Enough is enough, Riven's Master!" Lancer said coldly as he pointed his spear at Reilly, "If you insult my master again, I can't act as a knight if I don't see it." ”

"It's a pity. Reilly spread his hands and said, "Being drawn by such a hidden master, how much strength can you show as a knight?"

"Then let my gun tell you. Lancer lifted his twin guns and struck a pose like a bird spreading its wings, a rather rare fighting stance.

"It's a pity, I originally wanted to have a decent spell duel. Reilly shook his head regretfully.

If he can lure Lancer's Master out, he will be able to kill them in no time. The magicians of this world are vulnerable, and once locked by Reilly, it is basically impossible to escape.

Who would have imagined that Rui Wen's Master is actually a strong man who can compete with Heroic Spirits?

――――――――――――――――――――

The people who noticed Lancer weren't just Reilly and Riven.

Alice Fell and Saber had also planned to see the sea, but as soon as they entered the waterfront park, they saw Riven and Reilly walking towards Warehouse Street.

"There's another Servant over there, and the other one doesn't hide his breath, as if trying to lure them over. Saber said with a solemn face.

"Let's go check it out, too. Alice Phil suggested.

"Good. Saber nodded in agreement.

Alice Phil followed behind Saber as she activated the transmitter hidden in her pocket. It's something Kiritsugu gave her, and it's said to let him know where he is. Alice Phil knew that her husband was very fond of using this non-magical mechanical prop.

Alice Phil trusts Saber to protect herself, but she knows that Kiritsugu prefers to strike when his target is unsuspecting and kill his enemies effectively.

After receiving the signal from his wife, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately took his subordinate Kuyu Maiya to Warehouse Street. When the two men arrived at the battlefield, they were greeted by silence.

However......

"It's already started. ”

Sensing the aura of magic around him, Kiritsugu correctly judged the current situation.

(Someone opened the barrier.) It seems that the enemy Master did it, and its purpose is to isolate ordinary people and hide the real scene. ）

It is a well-established rule in the world of magic that mystical forces must not be exposed to the public eye.

Holding a ten-kilogram alien sniper rifle, Kiritsugu began to think about his next move. He had already judged Alice Field's position based on the signals, and the question was how to approach it and where it was better to observe.

Kiritsugu didn't plan to fight, he wanted to find a suitable position to observe the situation, and then find an opportunity to kill the enemy with a sniper rifle. While bullets don't work on the Servant, the Masters are still human, and they will die if they are hit.

"It's a great place to watch. Maiya said, pointing to the crane towering over the ground.

"That being said, we shouldn't be the only ones who want to occupy that position. ”

Hearing this, Maiya already understood Kiritsugu's intentions.

"Maiya, you sneak over from the east bank, and I'll go to the west...... It is necessary to find an observation point from which you can watch the battle and monitor the crane. ”

"Understood. Maiya carried an AUG assault rifle and disappeared into the shadows of Warehouse Street. Kiritsugu confirmed the transmitter's reaction, and then began to move in the other direction.
