"Speaking of which, isn't it a bit rude for guests to prepare dinner?"
In Emiya's house, Fujimura Taiga leaned into Emiya Shirou's ear and whispered.
"...So I'm also helping, right?"
Emiya Shirou glanced at Fujimura Taiga helplessly.
But then again...
Helping out while cooking, I haven’t felt like this for a long time...
In the past, Shinji and Sakura came to help me. Sister Fuji and Sister Kazu are usually the ones waiting for dinner. Is this the first time that I have to help others since I can cook?
"It smells so good... It's a pity that Shinji and Sakura are not here, otherwise it would be a lot more lively here."
Fujimura Taiga shrugged his nose and said with some expectation and some regret.
"After all, that old Mr. Matou passed away. This is inevitable..."
Shirou was also a little helpless.
Normally, Sakura spends most of her time waiting here, and Shinji will come whenever he is free, but now...
Matou...
Annuo, who was cutting the fish, looked back.
"Shirou, the Matou family is also one of the three imperial families."
He said to Shirou.
"well?"
Shirou was stunned for a moment.
Wait, Yu Sanjia?
The Yusan Family who built the Holy Grail War System... If I remember correctly, what the priest said seems to be...
Tosaka, Matou, Einzbern.
Moreover, these three families seem to have fixed quotas.
In addition to the fixed quota in the Clock Tower, there are four fixed seats in the previous Holy Grail Wars.
That, that is to say...
Are Shinji or Sakura also his opponents in this Holy Grail War...?
Moreover, if we were talking about Tohsaka, it could only be Rin Tosaka. When he was on the playground, he seemed to have indeed seen her.
Seven masters, seven magicians...
The master of the Matou family is one of Shinji and Sakura, the master of the Tohsaka family is Tohsaka Rin, plus myself, Aku-san, and the little girl with white hair...
"Sister Teng, you won't..."
Emiya Shirou felt a little pain in his head and subconsciously raised his head to glance at Taiga Fujimura who was sitting at the table watching TV.
"Huh? What can't you do? What's wrong?"
Fujimura Dahe turned his head and glanced a little confused.
"No, it's nothing..."
Glancing at the back of Fujimura Taiga's hand, Emiya Shirou rubbed his temples again and sighed.
He was attacked last night and was rescued by Xiang An. This morning he learned from the mouths of Sister Kazu and the priest named Kotomine Kirei what kind of situation he was involved in. What followed was an attack.
, and then...now.
It was determined that among his enemies, there would be at least three acquaintances of his.
A series of things happened that made him a little unable to react, so he became a little suspicious subconsciously.
"Take it easy, Shirou."
After wiping his hands, Anno patted Shirou on the shoulder.
"As long as I'm here, it'll be no problem."
This sentence is undoubtedly reassuring.
"......Um."
Emiya Shirou nodded, but the heaviness in his eyes was not wiped away.
Annuo's strength must be reassuring. The encounter in the morning has already answered this point, but the question is...
Myself, the strength of this Master...
Looking at the three-stroke command spell on the back of his hand, Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth.
"It's time to eat, Dahe."
In the blink of an eye, Annuo had already brought pan-fried fish fillet and rice to the table.
"well?"
...
"Based on the traces of the investigation, the current direction is in this direction."
"Um......"
Rin Tosaka looked at the marks on the ground and frowned.
"If that's over there...is it Mount Enzo?"
She stood up, her expression a little solemn.
There's something wrong with this smell...
The direction pointed by those magic powers is the direction of Mount Enzo. If Mount Enzo...it is not a simple place.
That is one of the four locations that are qualified for the Little Holy Grail to descend, and it is also an excellent location to choose a base.
But the problem is...the magic power passing through this place makes Tohsaka Rin feel a little uncomfortable.
"Archer, that servant feels something is not right. Can you sense what the magic power in this blood contains?"
The mark on the ground is a pool of blood.
The red and black blood carries a strong and ominous aura.
"I don't know, but it's probably not a good thing."
The spirit-speaking Archer shook his head, saying that he couldn't find out specifically.
Tohsaka Rin was a little hesitant. She didn't really want to touch this pool of blood. After all, who knew whether there might be some curse or something in it, or it might just be a trap set by a master or a follower, but this
It is indeed the best way to understand possible enemies.
"Be careful, it should be fine."
"You can feel the blood along the way. As long as the opponent is a normal creature, it will fall into a weak state, even if it is a servant."
"The most likely possibility is that a small-scale battle broke out somewhere without us noticing, and the injured party should be hiding in Yuanzang Mountain now."
"...I guess so too."
Tohsaka Rin finally took out a small bottle made of crystal and touched the blood on the ground.
The blood gurgled restlessly, but nothing happened.
"Archer, explore from a distance without exposing yourself. I will go back first."
Tohsaka Rin plans to study this bottle of blood.
...
"This is really...unexpected."
Feeling the feedback from the magic power, Kotomine Kirei frowned.
"The master died, but the servants survived...?"
"Is it possible that during this Holy Grail War, another incident occurred where a servant killed the master...?"
He stood up from his seat in the church, walked to the door, and rubbed his fingers.
"This is really... quite a disturbing incident."
It seems that it is impossible to calm down this time in the Holy Grail War.
Thinking about it, he looked back.
I took a look... at the messy forest in the hills behind the church.
That Noble Phantasm is really familiar.
...
"Hey! I'm here to eat!"
At the door of Emiya's house, two familiar figures appeared.
"Hinako? And who is this...?"
Dahe looked at the huge figure in astonishment.
"My husband's brother is going to stay with me for a while recently. Now that's it, uncle, let's go in."
Kazuko was no longer too lazy to explain so much, so she pushed past the stunned Fujimura Taiga and walked into the Emiya family's mansion.
"That's pretty much it. Have a good evening."
Xiang An looked carefree and even said hello to Fujimura Taiga.
