The snow and ice have long since melted, and you can't see it.

'Leo, there's a big problem with me!' the protagonist has a solemn face

"What's the problem? I'm pregnant. Leo sat indifferently on the couch and watched TV.

"Leo, you're dark, I knew I wouldn't exchange it for your body (1000 points for ordinary people (women)). Lao Tzu was unhappy.

Why do you regret it, it's not that you said that Lao Tzu earned 30,000 reward points for fighting local tyrants (the evaluation criteria for reward points is the size of the benign impact on the world, not the level of the battle, and the protagonist has been cheated a lot.) Let me be happy too.

"Let you be happy, you will hurt me? What do you mean?" You are a pitfall, "No! I have deviated, this is not what I just said!" "What? Do you fight local tyrants?" is still out of tune.

"No, it's eyes, eyes!" I roared, "eyes are red, it's black!

"I don't know, I'm not an encyclopedia!" he really doesn't seem to know, "But pony, why did you give him that kid?"

"Don't want to change the subject!" "Don't think I don't know you're an actor" Hmph, isn't it good, of course my daughter meets 'Dad'. ”

"Whoa!" the crow sent the demon to the news.

"The participants in this ridiculous game are all here. "Concubine Ma Yun's smile is cold, and her heart is **;

"Uh-huh.........' my stomach screamed (---////)! ”

"Is it easy for me, I went back and forth from Germany to Japan in the early morning, and I didn't even eat!" (′°???????? w°???????? ｀)

Okay, people are iron, rice is steel, let's eat! The protagonist (male) grabbed Leo with a wave of his big arm.

"I don't need to!" Don't pretend to be a no-girl with me!"Let go, pony, you bastard!"

Don't talk about it, get out of 702.

This residential area to the east of the Fuengawa River is a new town that was originally built by developing the wilderness during the period of high growth. Although it was not planned as a deep mountain town with a deep sense of history, the government and the public planned to build a modern commercial street using the ruins of the state-owned railway, and Fuyuki was facing a large-scale redevelopment action. Because it was the afternoon of the rest day, there were a lot of people on the streets today. The unforgiving temperature of the north wind is like an indifferent attitude between people. Emiya Kiritsugu stood out in such a crowd, drowning in the crowd like a transparent existence.

His T-shirt and coat looked a little old, and he didn't carry any luggage with him. He walked unhurriedly, and no one would think he was a foreigner. Since entering the country, he has relied on walking to the new capital of Fuyuki City. And because Japan was his birthplace after a long absence, it was quite easy for him to get used to the environment.

Just now, he involuntarily bought a pack of cigarettes at the vending machine. He looked at the cigarette case, and his feelings became complicated.

It's been nine years since I quit smoking. Partly because they couldn't buy the good cigarettes they were used to in Einzbelen, and partly because they didn't want their wives and daughters to worry about themselves. And because the mind is full of the upcoming battle. The moment Kiritsugu stood on the Fuyuki platform, he habitually slipped coins into the vending machine.

After buying a disposable lighter from a roadside convenience store, he opened the box of cigarettes.

Stuff a cigarette into your mouth, light a fire, quit smoking for nearly a decade, and these actions are all done in one go. Quietly inhale the calming aroma, which is as familiar and intimate as the one you tasted yesterday.

“......”

Experiencing the complex and authentic state of mind brought about by the smoke, Kiritsugu began to re-examine the various scenes around him.

Although he secretly came here three years ago to investigate, compared to that time, Fuyuki City has completely changed from that time. Although change is expected. But the degree of change is far beyond my imagination. It seems that it is necessary to reconfirm the geographical environment of the neighborhood. He thought about what to do and arrived at his destination, a hotel.

Only the lobby and reception desk of this hotel are decent, at best it is a cheap hostel equivalent to a business hotel. From the travelers who drag their families to the men and women who are engaged in **, the guests here can be described as diverse. And because of this, it is the best place to hide your identity.

Kiritsugu calmly walked through the hall and took the elevator to the seventh floor. Three days ago, his faithful subordinates should have been waiting in Room 703. On the way to the room, I found a strange young man and woman, who had no magic on them, and should be a rebellious man and woman looking for excitement.

"Coincidence, hehe. It's getting more and more interesting!!"(??) w??) Malicious selling cuteness.

The relationship with Kuyu Maiya should probably be called "master and apprentice" in the language of the magician world.

Kiritsugu himself never regarded magic as an object of his own inquiry, but only as a "method" to learn in battle, so there was never a concept of master and apprentice in his mind.

The relationship between Kiritsugu and Maiya even predates Alice Phil. The other side of his blood debt didn't even know about his wife, but Maiya, who had fought with him, knew it clearly.

He knocked on the door of Room 703 with the agreed coded rhythm, and the door opened as if waiting for his arrival. There was no superfluous greeting with the people in the house, and only exchanged glances and ended the moment of meeting again. Kiritsugu walked into the house in silence and closed the door.

Kiritsugu's contact with Maiya is also frequent. Ever since Kiritsugu retired from the front line, she has been on the field in preparation for the Holy Grail War under his instructions, and she has traveled to Einzberen several times to consult with him about matters.

Although Maiya is a beauty with good facial features, she never wears makeup. Her elongated eyes often give a cold feeling. Although her silky black hair may have fascinated many men, as long as she has a sharp look, no matter what man will give up the idea of approaching her.

Unknowingly, the two have been working together for more than ten years. Although she was only a little girl when they first met, once she was stripped of the immaturity of her appearance, her innate sharpness began to be revealed.

"Last night, there was an operation at the Tosaka Mansion. ”

Maiya went straight to the point as soon as she spoke.

"A video has been made, so please confirm it. In addition, all the equipment has arrived. ”

"Okay. Report the situation first. ”

Maiya nodded, picked up the TV's remote control, and pressed the switch.

In the magic tricks taught by Kiritsugu, Maiya shows a remarkable talent for manipulating low-level demons. Because of this, Kiritsugu often entrusts her with the task of probing and investigating.

Maiya's proudest enchanter is a bat, but unlike other magicians, she has an ultra-small CCD camera attached to her bat belly, which of course Kiritsugu came up with. Because magicians often use illusions, enchantments, camouflage, or hints to confuse others, few people think of guarding against electronic devices. Video recording can be used as powerful evidence in the future, and the use of a camera is a very effective way to remove the disadvantage of making the mana act cumbersome.

On the thirteen-inch screen, a part of the Tosaka Mansion last night was recorded from beginning to end. It's not clear, but it's clear enough. I saw a servant with a skull mask helplessly wiped out by the golden servant. Kiritsugu didn't even move his eyebrows, confirming the facts.

The white mask worn by the defeated Servant clearly shows the rank mark of the assassin.

"What do you think of such a start? ”

"It seemed perfect. ”

Maiya immediately answered Kiritsugu's question.

"The time between the beginning of the assassin's materialization and the attack by the servants in Tosaka is too short. It can only be assumed that it is always on standby. If it's because you've long been aware of an intruder in a state of spiritualization, that's understandable. But the assassin has the skill to interrupt the breath after all, so it's hard to imagine...... I think. Tosaka already knew in advance that there would be invasion. ”

Kiritsugu nodded. is worthy of the subordinates he taught, and the ideas are exactly the same as his own.

"If you think about it that way, it's incredible. Since Tosaka had time to wait for the enemy to come to the door, why didn't he use this time to go out directly to meet him, but deliberately showed the servant. ”

The Tosaka family had experienced the second and third Holy Grail battles, and their masters must have been familiar with the theories of war. Therefore, it is impossible for him not to know that his home base camp, the Tosaka Mansion, is being watched by others.

Look at this is professionally, ours is all nonsense!

Eat first! It's a shame to waste.

Didn't you stop eating?

The items waiting to be inspected by Kiritsugu were neatly arranged on the bed, but there were no props that a magician could use. Short swords, cups and other sacrificial utensils, or talismans, fairy grass, and spirit stones, nothing. There are only cutting-edge weapons with the highest performance that have been selected from thousands of places, and other than that, they are all just ordinary weapons, none of which have magical powers.

These are the heretical practices used by the magician known as the "magician killer" - Emiya Kiritsugu.

The greatest weakness of the magician is the carelessness of the magicians, who have no doubt that they are the intermediary between the mysterious and the human intelligence, and they are convinced that the only person who can threaten them is the same magician, except for the gods.

So when they are faced with a battle, they will only pay attention to all kinds of magic. They can see through any magic trick that has not even been performed. Therefore, in their eyes, as long as they have keen perception and perfect anti-demon countermeasures, they are equivalent to mastering the key to victory. This is the key to any magician's invariability.

"Elia isn't as heavy as Warser, she's eight years old......"

Kiritsugu began to remember with a blank look at the past, a man talking to himself, his thoughts as if stagnant. So when Maiya approached him silently from behind and burrowed into his arms, he was taken aback.

Maimi's snake-like arms hooked around his neck, sealing his mouth with soft, dry lips.

The woman in front of him overlapped with the woman he was missing, but the taste and feeling were so strange. It's as if everything in front of you is a merciless punishment for yourself.

“...... Now it's just a matter of thinking about what needs to be done. As for other things, don't bother. ”

She calmly reminded Kiritsugu in a demagogic tone.

“......”

Kiritsugu was silent, feeling the emotion in his chest getting colder and colder. And the original pain in my heart also became lighter and lighter as the temperature decreased.

The snow and ice have long since melted, and you don't know it. Ma Yunfei smiled mysteriously, "Bear child, that's mine!
