At the foot of Fuyuki Bridge, Gilgamesh stood on a street lamp, looking down at the child.
After all, are they just children?
"Ah, of course, King of Heroes."
Matou Shinji had a deceptive and innocent smile on his face.
He naturally knew that Gilgamesh would not be deceived by such a smile, but the innocent smile of a child could still add a touch of goodwill to his negotiations with Gilgamesh.
"I am Matou Shinji, you should have fought against my uncle."
"Um?"
Gilgamesh raised his eyes.
With his burgundy hair and black eyes, his characteristics are indeed the same as that of the boring Caster's master.
"Haha, your uncle has no courage."
Gilgamesh said sarcastically with a smile.
It's not really ironic, because what he said is true.
"Uncle is more suitable for a stable pastoral life. I don't think this is a sign of lack of courage. Some people are born not suitable to be warriors."
Shaking his head, Matou Shinji defended his uncle.
"What about you? Are you suitable to be a warrior? Bastard."
Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes.
He would not go back and despise a child just because he is young, not to mention that the calmness and ease with which Matou Shinji has shown so far are much better than his unimpressive uncle.
"I don't know. I'm not looking for you just to fight, King of Heroes."
When Shinji Matou went out, he took some money and his research notes with him.
Research notes written by a seven-year-old.
But the level is very high, and it is considered an excellent paper even in the Clock Tower. However, the scope of its application is too narrow. After all, it is a special magic that only one person can use.
"Are you trying to fool me, bastard?"
Gilgamesh's god exuded a dangerous aura, staring closely at Shinji Matou.
"It's not a fool. You are the king and I am the minister. I just feel that on this basis I cannot win something with lies. In that case, it would be a fool. As for now, you should appreciate my honesty.
"
Faced with Gilgamesh's murderous intent, Matou Shinji did not show any panic, but smiled and continued to talk.
"Roar"
Gilgamesh's eyes finally showed some interest.
"So, what is your purpose of participating in this Holy Grail War in the middle? Tell me the truth, bastard, and maybe I will actually show you some mercy."
He sat down on the street lamp with a natural look.
"The nature of my magic power is quite special. I want to develop it but there is no template. I am encountering some difficulties now, so I want to refer to the law magic that my ancestors have studied - that is, the existence of command spells. Of course,
It would be even better if we could win the Holy Grail with the King of Heroes, right?"
"Tosaka Tokiomi's right hand should be with His Majesty the King of Heroes."
Matou Shinji, who had sorted out most of the information on the Holy Grail War so far through various familiars and information from his father, showed a smile full of wisdom.
"snort"
Buzz——
Gilgamesh smiled, but a golden ripple appeared next to him.
"Obviously he is just a young child, but he possesses such a level of courage and flexible thinking. It seems that Lawrence's bloodline is not without merit."
——Crack.
Tohsaka Tokiomi's right hand fell to the ground from the golden ripples.
"Ah, as expected, there are still two more command spells left."
Matou Shinji's eyes lit up.
He did not immediately pick up Tokiomi Tokiomi's right hand, but first raised his head and looked at Gilgamesh.
"Then, does His Majesty the King of Heroes agree to let me, a mere child, become your master?"
"Don't be so cocky, bastard."
Gilgamesh's eyes shone with golden light, and hidden beneath the light was a hint of admiration.
Just the fact that a seven-year-old child dared to sit across from him rationally and talk to him was indeed enough for him to appreciate.
Even Siduli has never done this kind of thing.
"This is a trial."
"Prove to me that you are qualified to be my master and someone who can stand alongside me."
Matou Shinji and Gilgamesh looked at each other, pursed their lips and nodded.
"Then, I'll accept this."
He walked forward and picked up Tohsaka Tokiomi's right hand and the two command seals on his right hand.
only--
The moment he lowered his head, Matou Shinji showed a smile.
Plan pass.
"I always feel a little uneasy. Neither Saber nor Saber have been active in Fuyuki City recently. Archer has also disappeared without a trace. My familiars can't get any useful information at all."
"The impact of Lancer and Caster's exit is not small. Now they have completely entered the ambiguous period."
Alexander didn't look discouraged. He stood on the roof and looked at the city with a smile.
The Saber team is basically just Emiya Kiritsugu doing activities outside alone. If it were not too close to Fuyuki Church, Kotomine Kirei would not notice it. Saber Anno himself spends a lot of time in the mansion.
Take care of Irisviel in the stronghold.
On Assassin's side, Assassin seems to be moving, probably exploring Saber's location, but when Samura takes action, he will cover himself with aura and wear a hoodie, perfectly integrating into this era.
Among the crowd, there is no such thing as a familiar that can be detected.
As for Archer, although the King of Heroes did not care about hiding himself, he did disappear. Killing Caster did consume a lot of his magic power, and it was normal for him to lie dormant.
The withdrawal of two cavalry servants at a time had a huge impact on the outcome of the Holy Grail War, and every remaining group began to be cautious.
"So——instead of relying on those useless familiars, why not set out and search for them yourself!"
"Seeing is believing, boy, let's go!"
With that said, Alexander threw Weber onto his bullock cart.
He could notice that this child was different from those real magicians. Weber's mood had been particularly depressed these past two days.
As for the reason, you don't need to think about it to know - he is sad because of Manrio's withdrawal.
The little architect was an approachable servant. During their previous cooperation, Weber and Manlio had communicated frequently and were already friends with each other.
And this friend has disappeared forever.
He had his own thoughts on the existence of the Master, the Servants, and even the Servants themselves.
But thinking is thinking, the Holy Grail War is not over yet - in the end, we still have to be happy.
