Below the luxurious hotel, a man in police uniform was calling anxiously.
There is a serious fire in the hotel. What they need to be responsible for is to count whether all the hotel guests have evacuated. In this kind of fire, if there are still people staying in the hotel, they will definitely die.
Especially when this Kenneth Ermelo Archibalud was still a foreign tourist, and the other party ordered the most expensive and luxurious guest room, what if something happened to this kind of person.
"Mr. Archibald, are you there-"
All personnel had been evacuated, except for the foreigner named Kenneth and his fiancée. The police officer was extremely worried.
"Mr. Archibald—"
"I'm here, please don't worry."
"well?"
Hearing the sudden voice coming from behind him, he was stunned, turned around, and found an Asian face with black hair.
"Huh? You, you are.?"
He hesitated for a moment because this man looked completely different from Kenneth in the photo.
But Emiya Kiritsugu didn't panic because of the man's hesitation. He looked at the man calmly, and while speaking clearly, he quietly performed some kind of suggestion magic.
"Kenneth El-Melloi Archibalud and his wife Sora have already evacuated and gone to seek refuge, so the evacuation has been completed in an orderly manner. Thank you for your hard work."
"Huh? Ah"
The man's eyes were a little confused at first, but under the influence of magic, they soon turned into chaos.
He nodded.
"I see."
After saying this, he crossed out Kenneth and Sola's names from the list and went to report to his colleagues.
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the policeman walking away, shook his head slightly, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Maiya, there is no problem on my side. How is the situation on your side?"
He leaned against the trunk of a tree and asked Kuu Maiya over the communication.
As he spoke, he put away the lighter, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Everything is business as usual, always on call."
Kuu Maiya was at the top of another building, looking at Kenneth's room through the scope, and responded to Emiya Kiritsugu.
Without another word, he put the burning cigarette back into his mouth, and Emiya Kiritsugu took out something similar to a remote control from his pocket.
He looked up at the hotel standing not far away.
Are you a genius in the art of seance? The things he arranged must be shocking and terrifying to any magician.
Thinking like this, admiring like this, Emiya Kiritsugu entered a series of buttons on the remote control, and then pressed a certain button.
drop.
drop.
drop.
--------boom!
Boom boom boom——————————!!!
First there was an explosion, followed by several consecutive and intensive explosions. The lights of the entire building went out in an instant, and then billowing smoke erupted from the main body, and then——
The building collapsed.
Emiya Kiritsugu did not look at the collapsed building, but closed his eyes and continued to take a few puffs of cigarette in silence.
Then he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it hard.
The people who had gathered around to take refuge and the people who were maintaining order all looked up in shock at the building that was gradually collapsing and spreading a lot of dust around them, and they were at a loss.
But the main culprit behind all this, Emiya Kiritsugu, was just——
"Maiya, what's the target?"
He turned his back on the disaster he had caused and asked Kuu Maiya in a calm tone.
"Until the end, the two targets did not leave the hotel."
"Um."
After hanging up the call, Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his eyes.
The room where Kenneth lives is located one hundred and fifty meters in the air.
Flames, explosions, thick smoke, falling from high altitudes, no matter what the cause, can cause death very directly.
These
Um?
Emiya Kiritsugu heard a burst of crying.
He couldn't help but turn his head and saw that it was a little girl crying uncontrollably. Her mother hugged her and was also crying.
Is it because of fright?
The culprit finally turned around and glanced at the building where black smoke was still rising.
But in the end, he closed his eyes and turned around.
"Maiya, retreat."
"these are"
At the estuary of Fuyuki City, a young man with burgundy hair looked solemnly at what was washed up on the beach with the current.
That's a corpse.
It was a tattered wreckage, and part of it could not be found.
".A murder case?"
He thought of the serial murders that had been broadcast in the news in Fuyuki City recently.
It was obvious that this body was not a sign of natural death, but a sign of violent dismemberment with some kind of knife.
"The death should not have occurred more than forty-eight hours ago. Because it was soaked, it is a little blurry, but it can still be judged."
Manlio observed the remains, looking sadly at the head that still had a frightened expression.
"Obviously. Still a child."
"Cater, there are traces of a servant."
Matou Kariya had a solemn expression in his eyes.
"There is magic residue on this wound."
"The magicians gathered in Fuyuki now, except for the Matou family and the Tohsaka family, are only those who participated in the Holy Grail War. Therefore, it is the master or the servant who is killing."
After returning home, he had nothing else to do for the time being, so he and Manlio wanted to make some basic arrangements in some key places, but he discovered this by accident.
This completely ruined his good mood today.
"I can cast tracking magic, Master, do you want to find it?"
Manlio's expression also changed from sadness to anger, and he looked at Matou Kariya.
".I will contact the church. This is obviously against the principles of the Holy Grail War. Caster, use tracking magic at the same time to find out where the bastard who killed ordinary people with magic and his followers is."
"Well, I understand. Please feel free to contact the church first, Kariya!"
Manlio pursed his lips and nodded. He looked at the boy's remains sadly, closed his eyes, and performed his magic.
Matou Kariya, on the other hand, contacted his brother, the head of the Matou family, Matou Tsuraya, who was still in the Matou family, and asked him to contact the Holy Church, which was responsible for supervising the Holy Grail War, to report his findings.
.
“The person who committed the crime—do you have any clues?”
There was also a hint of anger in Matou Heya's voice.
"Judging by the scars, it's most likely Berserker."
Looking at the burn marks on the wreckage, Matou Kariya reported on the phone.
