() It is three o'clock in the morning and everything is completely silent. This is inappropriate for magicians and servants.

"Hey, Zhenyu, what are you looking at?" Nero looked at Zhenyu playing with a strange electrical appliance strangely.

"A good show."

"What a show? What do you know?" Nero asked curiously.

"Sports performance."

"Oh? As an artist, I must see it." Nero leaned over to look at the image on the screen in Mayu's hand.

The image is very clear. This is the perspective of the familiars that have been transformed by Zhenyu and Patchouli. Zhenyu does not reject scientific methods, and even respects science to a certain extent due to the concepts in his previous life; Patqiuli thinks this

There was no disagreement, so the two worked together to create this familiar. The monitor in their hands was connected to the familiar's perspective, and it had higher definition than Emiya Kiritsugu's simple scientific photography.

The protagonist on the screen is a weirdo wearing a black robe and a white skull-like mask to hide his appearance. His identity can be easily determined by looking at the decoration.

"Hey, is this an assassin?" Nero saw his identity, "Isn't it about a physical performance?"

"Keep watching."

It was the Tosaka family's mansion. Around the mansion, dozens or twenty layers of barriers were erected for the purpose of reconnaissance and defense. From a magical point of view, this simply made the mansion and the fortress completely useless.

The difference. Zhen Yu is greedy for this expression. This is the advantage of having spiritual veins underground.

Without the owner's consent, even humans with magical powers would not be able to step into the barrier. Let alone those servants who are like huge magic crystals. Therefore, whether they are entities or spirits, they want to remain undetected.

It is impossible to sneak into this fortress-like barrier.

However, there is an exception that can make this impossible possible. Assassin's ability to cut off the breath is such an exception. Although he does not have strong fighting ability, Assassin can suppress his magic power to almost zero.

Take action downwards so that you are as close to the target as an invisible shadow.

The Assassin in the image started to move. He ran directly from the mountain to the Tosaka House at the bottom of the mountain. The high-speed movement caused the cold north to pass through his body. He jumped up high, shot out a few gems from his hands, and threw a few gems at the door.

If the blind spot of the barrier is removed, the barrier will naturally not take effect.

", Assassin fell into the flower bed and looked at Tosaka's house, laughing at Tokiomi Tokiomi's ridiculous fate in his heart. The arrogant magician seemed to have great trust in Kirei, his subordinate, but he never imagined that he

Puppies that have been raised for so many years will bite their own hands in turn.

Assassin skillfully avoided the intricate barriers in his spirit state, supported horizontally, turned, rolled, and swung... Each of his smooth body movements appeared under the display of Assassin. As a Servant, Assassin can easily

He can do movements that normal people can't do, and he still looks like he is doing it with ease. He is worthy of being the "Physical Emperor".

Assassin has reached the final barrier. There are no blind spots in the barrier here. If he wants to pass here, he must physically destroy the barrier and eliminate it before he can continue to move forward. He reached out his hand to the ruby ​​in the center.

The moment he stretched out his hand, a shining gun flew down from directly above him like lightning. It penetrated the back of his hand and pinned his hand to the ground.

"...!?"

Severe pain, fear, and even more intense shock. Assassin was deeply surprised by the sudden blow of the dazzling spear. With an incredible look on his face, he raised his head to look for the person who threw the spear.

On the roof of Tohsaka Mansion, stood an unusually magnificent golden figure.

"Ant lying on the ground. Who allowed you to raise your head?"

The golden figure looked down at Assassin lying on the ground with his burning red eyes, and asked in a contemptuous tone.

"You don't see my qualifications. Ants should be like ants, just lie down on the ground and lower your head to die."

Then around the golden figure, countless flashes of light appeared. There were swords and spears appearing in the air, and there were countless types, but they were not repeated, and any one of them was like a treasure with gorgeous decorations.

Weapons. And the spearheads of all these weapons are directed towards Assassin.

Invincible - Assassin didn't even have to think about it, his instinct told him that the man in front of him was invincible.

In the face of an enemy with such overwhelming power, even the so-called fear - yes, there is no room for feeling fear - all that can be felt is despair.

Accompanied by the sound of the wind being cut, countless sharp blades shining with cold light flew towards Assassin.

In the last moment of his life, Assassin finally understood the true purpose of his master Kotomine Kirei and... his ally Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"Pa." Zhenyu turned off the image, and the most exciting scene was over.

"Is this the good show you are talking about, Zhenyu?" Nero asked.

"Hmm. Not bad?"

"I really want to know how that shiny guy is called an actor," Nero nodded, "but it is indeed a good play."

"The good show is over, it's almost time to take a rest. While there is still time, recharge your batteries."

……………………………………………………………………………………

Fuyuki City is facing a large-scale redevelopment operation. Although 40% of the buildings that will become commercial streets are still unfinished, the park and shopping mall in front of the station are about to open. The new city that is about to be built will

It appeared with a clean and pale, gorgeous but personalityless appearance. The city has gradually moved to the new capital, and steel bars, glass and paint have also been combined into various modern buildings. The urban functions of this mountainous city,

are gradually being forced to change.

Because it was the afternoon of the day off, there were a lot of people on the street today. The ruthless temperature of the north wind was like the indifferent attitude among people. Emiya Kiritsugu looked inconspicuous in such a crowd, drowning like a transparent existence.

Among the people.

His T-shirt and jacket looked a bit old, and he didn't carry any luggage with him. He walked leisurely, and no one would think he was a foreigner. Since entering the country, he arrived at the new capital of Fuyuki City on foot. And just now

Because Japan was his birthplace after a long absence, he got used to the environment here quite easily.

Just now, he couldn't help but buy a pack of cigarettes from the vending machine. Looking at the cigarette box, his mood became complicated.

It has been nine years since I quit smoking. Part of the reason is because I can’t buy the good cigarettes I’m used to smoking in the distant Einzbern. Part of it is because I don’t want my wife and daughter to worry about me anymore. And because all I can think about is what’s coming soon.

The battle. The moment Kiritsugu stood firm on the Fuyuki platform, he stuffed the coins into the vending machine out of habit.

After sorting out his mood, he bought a disposable lighter from a convenience store on the roadside and opened the box of cigarettes. The white filter made him dazzle for a moment.

Put a cigarette into your mouth, light it, quit smoking for nearly ten years, but now these actions are done in one go. Quietly inhaling the calming aroma, the taste is as familiar and intimate as if you just tasted it yesterday.

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

Although he secretly came here for investigation three years ago, today's Fuyuki City has completely changed compared to then. Although the changes are expected, the extent of the changes far exceeds his own.

imagination. It seems that I need to reconfirm the nearby geographical environment.

But the top priority now is to find his assistant's hotel. Suddenly, Emiya Kiritsugu's steps paused for a moment, and then returned to normal. Because he saw two "beautiful girls" walking across the way. One of them he knew - this

Maya Asagami, a participant in the Second Holy Grail War. The beautiful woman next to him must be the servant he summoned.

It was a bit late to look back at this time. He had just returned to Fuyuki City and was careless in his excitement. Emiya Kiritsugu's Servant Saber was not with him. Although he could summon it directly using the command spell, he didn't want to if it was not necessary.

It would be a waste to use a command spell at the beginning of the war. Now we can only blame the result on Asagami Maya not recognizing him.

……………………………………………………………………………………

Maya feels that her luck has been a bit strange recently. She can meet participants in the Holy Grail War when she goes out. Last time it was the King of Heroes, this time it was Emiya Kiritsugu, and next time it might be the King of Conqueror or Matou Kariya. Although Wei

Miya Kiritsugu didn't seem to have changed much, but the moment he stopped just now was still noticed by Maya, who had a keen sense.

[As expected, I have investigated my information, but how much do you know? 】

Zhenyu thought for a while and pretended not to know each other. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Unless he can be killed instantly, he will call Saber. Although he will lose a command spell, he will attract the attention of other masters. , and Sabaster is always easier to reassure people - although only Tokiomi Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei know about it.

Just like that, Maya and Emiya Kiritsugu passed by each other.

ps1: I feel like the festival cao has dropped a lot recently. How can I break it? Please form a team to go to Gensokyo to pick up festival cao. I heard there are a lot of them on the ground there.
