Chapter 2197 The Three Riddlers and the Confused Shirou
"Okay, if you want to talk about something, let's talk about it in this place."
After taking Emiya Shirou to the second floor office of the Matou family's stronghold, Matou Shinji sat down and looked at Emiya Shirou who was entangled like a mummy.
There is also Saber Anno standing behind Shirou Emiya.
"I heard something happened to you, but now it seems..."
Caster, who had not appeared since Shirou and Saber entered the stronghold, and Lawrence's son Adrosson Falgo finally walked out of the magic workshop on the third floor and arrived on the second floor.
"Senior, I remember you said before, forming an alliance? But haven't we already..."
Sakura sat opposite Emiya Shirou, looking a little confused.
As Matou Shinji said before, both sides should have advanced and retreated together.
"I don't want to put you in danger, but what I want to do..."
"I'll just tell you directly, it's Berserker."
Raising his head, Emiya Shirou said seriously.
"Berserker?"
"Do you know anything about Berserker?"
Matou Shinji blinked.
To people other than Shirou Emiya, Berserker in this Holy Grail War is actually somewhat mysterious.
After all, so far, it seems that only Berserker has not appeared, at least not in front of multiple people.
"He is a servant of the Einzbern family. If Lancer is the case, he is probably a servant representing the Clock Tower."
Annuo explained.
Archer is Tohsaka Rin's servant, Caster is Matou Sakura's servant, Emiya Shirou himself made a contract with Saber, the rebellious Assassin Shuten Doji has withdrawn, and Rider is in the hands of Akuko, who appeared before
Although Lancer who passed by was not sure who his servant was...but everyone had some guesses.
After all, the so-called "ally" mentioned by Kirei Kotomine, the neutral party...
Don't you think it's suspicious?
The only one who has no information is Berserker, and now he has been mentioned by Emiya Shirou.
"It's... the morning after the second day of my contract with Saber."
"That night, I encountered Lancer's attack. Saber made a contract with me from the summoning circle and repeled Lancer. Then... Sister Kazu and I learned about the basics of the Holy Grail War, and then we set off for the mission.
Mr. Mine’s Fuyuki Church.”
"After learning what the Holy Grail War was like from Mr. Kotomine, Saber and I were attacked by Berserker just as we were about to leave."
"What kind of servant is Berserker? Can you determine his true name?"
Matou Shinji swayed his legs and asked the question he was most interested in.
Emiya Shirou and Anno shook their heads together.
"I can only describe his appearance. He is a very tall... at least two and a half meters tall, gray-skinned servant. He is also very strong and irrational. His weapons look a bit strange, similar to
As a weapon with an axe, its strength... is very strong."
"Because the magic power I can provide is too little... Saber is not his opponent. If his master, that is, the girl hadn't let us go, maybe... Saber
Now that I have withdrawn from the game, I am also dead, or maybe eliminated from the Holy Grail War."
Even now, Emiya Shirou's expression was one of lingering fear.
That Berserker's body was tall, and the sense of oppression he gave to others was already very strong, and his strength was also very strong... If Saber hadn't been in front and confronted the opponent head-on, Shirou Emiya might have really felt it.
To despair.
"Who is his master? You said it's a girl?"
Matou Shinji frowned.
He remembered the master of the Einzbern family during the last Holy Grail War.
That is... Emiya Shirou's adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu.
That man was both crazy and pathetic, but luckily the Emiya Shirou he trained was a normal person.
What will be the master of the Einzbern family this time...?
"It is indeed a girl, and she is very young. She looks... only about ten years old."
Emiya Shirou lowered his head slightly, recalling some of the details he saw that day.
"That girl... had white hair, red eyes, very fair skin, and looked European... That's all I can remember."
"...An artificial human again?"
Holding his head with one hand, Matou Shinji tapped the table with his other hand.
"Artificial being?"
Emiya Shirou raised his head, a little confused.
"The Einzbern family is such a family. As one of the few families in the magic world that is related to magic, their current family members are basically modeled after Justi, who participated in the structure of the Great Holy Grail system.
Made by Sa Rizreich von Einzbern, they generally send out artificial humans made in this way to participate in the Holy Grail War...except last time."
"However, there are also doubts."
Boom.
Knocking the table hard with his index finger, Shinji Matou sat up straight.
"Because it is copied from Justezaad, no matter what the artificial human made by the Einzbern family looks like on the inside, its appearance should look like an adult European woman, that is, Justeza herself.
That's right, little girl..."
"This is a bit unusual."
Annuo pursed his lips.
Is this kid Shinji... also deliberately hiding something about Emiya Kiritsugu?
...After all, the truth back then was somewhat cruel to Emiya Shirou.
"So Shirou, what do you want to do?"
Instead of continuing to dwell on the strange situation in the Einzbern family, he raised his head and asked Shinji Matou to Shirou.
"Perhaps this matter can be regarded as my entrustment."
Annuo said proactively.
"Huh? Ah...ah, that's it."
Emiya Shirou:?
What turned out to be so?
"Don't worry about Shirou."
Shinji smiled.
"Maybe it's just some things that happened in the last Holy Grail War. Since Mr. Anno didn't say anything, he might want you to witness some things yourself."
"You won't blame me for deliberately hiding it from you, right?"
He spread his hands.
"How is that possible? Does this matter have anything to do with me?"
"Why do you say... let me witness it myself?"
Pointing at himself, Emiya Shirou was a little confused.
"...If my understanding of the conversation between my brother and Mr. Saber is not wrong..."
"Senior, this matter may really have something to do with you."
Sakura sighed, held her heart in her hands, and looked at Emiya Shirou.
Emiya Shirou:?
He looked at Shenji, Annuo, and Sakura.
What are you guys talking about?
In the end, he could only look at Adrosson Falgao.
Adrosson is also a little confused. What is this kid looking at him for?
"Anyway, let's talk about the details of the cooperation. You probably want to make Berserker quit, or subdue Berserker."
Finally, perhaps sensing something, Shenji took the initiative to divert the topic away.
