Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?

Wei Gong Residence, a room.

After uttering the 'wild words' of "I'm afraid only I can handle it" to Irisviel, the white-haired, red-eyed woman outside the door, Fang Yi stopped speaking.

He prepared to 'close the door to guests', continue to examine his remaining two gains, and conceive a plan to fully utilize the incredibly powerful [Implant].

At the same time, he quietly waited for this group of people to be helpless with the ahoge's injury, and finally asked him to 'come out of the mountain' in a grand manner to make another profit.

However, just as Fang Yi was about to close the door, this madam boldly grabbed the door frame, trying to have a tug-of-war with a 'Heroic Spirit'.

And said a very bad but passable answer.

"Heroic Spirit, can you tell me more about Saber's injury and your treatment plan?

"As a member of the Einzbern family, I still have the ability to pay you for treatment.

"At the same time, Saber is my servant, and I have the right to overrule my husband."

Fang Yi looked at the woman in front of him, his standard smile becoming more and more brilliant.

He had already analyzed some information from the other party's words.

Although he didn't know where this woman got the corresponding information about Saber's injury, or how she came up with such suggestive words that didn't match her personality.

But one thing is undeniable.

That is:

[She doesn't completely agree with Kiritsugu Emiya's treatment plan.]

The words in the other party's words emphasized that she was Saber's master, revealing that she was from the Einzbern family.

In fact, they are all saying one thing.

[She has the ability to support me in treating Saber this time and pay for it.]

After analyzing this, he thought of a way to use Irisviel to advance the [Collect Artoria Magic Power Samples] task in [Perfect Dragon].

Therefore, Fang Yi prepared to postpone the conception of the [Implant] utilization plan, and chose to take some time to have an 'efficient' exchange and technical demonstration with this madam.

However, he had to tease the 'fish' first.

-

"I hope Saber you..."

Seeing Fang Yi's unmoved expression, Irisviel, who was standing outside the door 'reciting' several 'lines', was already a little anxious.

Her words were all taught to her by that red archer, and then she recited them verbatim.

Now the 'script' of silence is almost finished.

If the other party doesn't answer again, she will have nothing to say in the face of the other party's silence.

However, the next moment, just as Irisviel slowed down and thought about how to say the next 'original' words.

Fang Yi, who felt that the time had come, made an 'impatient' expression and interrupted the other party's 'long speech' with a slightly indifferent reply.

"Saber's master, can I understand that the current conversation is you asking me for a knowledge-seeking transaction?

"If so, after you pay the reward, this conversation can continue.

"If not..."

Irisviel looked at Fang Yi with an impatient face, and directly recited the price without waiting for Fang Yi to finish speaking.

"As a reward for answering doubts.

"The knowledge related to [physical transformation] that involves increasing [magic circuits] in Einzbern's [alchemy], I can decide to teach you.

"I believe this should be enough as a reward for answering questions."

——

[How does she know that this knowledge is the most helpful to me and what I want most?]

Although he was very satisfied with this reward, Fang Yi still added one item.

"Saber's master, when I demonstrate and verify my technology later.

"I'm afraid I will use your body for the demonstration. This process may involve removing some of your limbs and restoring them.

"Can you accept it?"

Hearing Fang Yi's request, Irisviel didn't speak.

She just nodded simply and forcefully, and showed her arm to Fang Yi to show her determination.

While Fang Yi let Irisviel in, he secretly pondered in his heart.

[Is this Irisviel's character a bit wrong? How can she be so smart?]

Irisviel also took the opportunity to enter the room and used the corner of her eye to look at the thoughtful 'Heroic Spirit' Fang Yi, trying to use the master's ability to assess the 'Heroic Spirit's' panel.

[The ability is completely invisible, but it must be very excellent.]

[According to Saber, the attributes are likely to be stronger than her, which also indirectly verifies the information that the red archer said that the other party should be Saber's [class].]

[However, is he really willing to lend a helping hand to the enemy in the [Holy Grail War] as the archer said?]

Seeing Fang Yi close the door, Irisviel, who was still doubtful, stopped thinking and began to listen to Fang Yi explain the truth about Saber's severed finger.

——

At the same time, outside another room in Wei Gong Residence.

After [Aozaki Touko] stated that she did not want anyone to spy on the treatment process, Kiritsugu Emiya was 'kicked out' of this room.

Just seeing that the door had not been opened for a long time, and not hearing any other sound even when his ears were close to the wall.

The always calm Kiritsugu Emiya became anxious.

At this moment, he was like the family members outside the operating room during surgery, unable to sit or stand.

He even extinguished the plan to smoke, considering that he might anger this 'puppeteer', and had to pace back and forth in this house that he had just bought for less than a day.

After walking back and forth a few times, Kiritsugu Emiya realized one thing before waiting for the news.

His wife Irisviel seemed to have not appeared for a long time.

Realizing this, he hurriedly asked the empty space beside him.

"Where did she go?"

The red archer who withdrew from [spiritualization] and appeared beside Kiritsugu Emiya gave a very clever answer.

"Master, are you referring to your wife, Saber's master?

"Or does this she have other meanings?

"For example, Master, your female assistant with an ambiguous relationship."

Hearing the red archer's somewhat deaf and dumb answer, Kiritsugu Emiya frowned slightly.

After subconsciously touching the pistol in his pocket to calm his mood, he gave a rather flat answer.

"Archer, you should know who I'm talking about."

The red archer touched the back of his head and replied in a nonchalant tone.

"Who knows?

"Master, you should know that vague orders can be confusing."

-

Kiritsugu Emiya, who was given the cold shoulder by his servant, couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart.

He asked the red archer word by word.

"Where is Irisviel? Why isn't she here as Saber's master?

"Answer me."

The red archer did not give an answer immediately, but gave an answer slowly.

"She is seeking the correct solution to heal Saber in the place where Saber's master should be.

"After all, Master, you have just overcome all opinions and made an absolutely 'correct' decision with your own strength, and finalized Saber's healing plan.

"Then, in order to show your authority, the objectors should leave the field."

Hearing the red archer's words, Kiritsugu Emiya subconsciously looked in the direction of Fang Yi, with a face full of disbelief.

He pointed to his face and said in a puzzled tone.

"Just because I rejected your and her proposal to heal the severed finger with Saber (Fang Yi) because the opponent in the [Holy Grail War] is untrustworthy.

"So she contacted that extremely dangerous Saber without my permission?"

The red archer nodded and shook his head.

"That's right.

"But I want to correct one point, Saber is 'extremely dangerous' is Master's judgment.

"Not the judgment made by me, 'King of Knights', and her.

"In our opinion, that Saber is a trustworthy person who can heal 'King of Knights'."

-

Hearing the red archer's rebuttal, Kiritsugu Emiya frowned even tighter.

This somewhat paranoid 'magus killer' has always been very wary of Fang Yi, this 'Saber', and does not trust him.

The reason why he rejected the plan to let Fang Yi try to rescue Saber, and chose to drag the other party to let [Aozaki Touko] 'play first and then report' is also very simple.

As a servant of the [Holy Grail War] competitor, actively helping other camps recover their combat power, just to ask for some books.

No matter how you think about it, this is not right.

That Saber of unknown origin might do something in this treatment.

Therefore, he decisively rejected the proposal of his servant, his wife, and his wife's servant, and chose [Aozaki Touko] who had no conflict of interest.

But he didn't expect his servant and his wife to have such a big opinion on his arbitrary decision on this matter.

[Did I do something wrong?]

[After all, it is said that when a person sees all the cars on the street going in the opposite direction, he should reflect on whether he is going in the opposite direction.]

But after recalling [Aozaki Touko]'s performance of taking out tools from her bag and observing Artoria's body.

Then, in just a few seconds, she carved out an arm that was no different from a real person.

The somewhat paranoid Kiritsugu Emiya, who only believed in himself, felt that his judgment and decision were correct.

[The one who can heal Saber must be the mysterious [puppeteer] 'Aozaki']

[Not that 'extremely dangerous' Saber.]

Thinking of this, Kiritsugu Emiya's brows stretched out again.

He confidently responded to the red archer beside him.

"Then you underestimate that puppeteer and overestimate that Saber's ability.

"In my opinion, that puppeteer will definitely be able to..."

-

The next moment, before Kiritsugu Emiya's confident words were finished, the door of this 'ward' was pushed open.

As [Aozaki Touko] walked out with a look of surprise and incomprehension, Kiritsugu Emiya heard a thunderbolt from the blue.

"I'm afraid I have to apologize to Mr. Emiya.

"Healing this servant's injury should be beyond my ability."

Hearing [Aozaki Touko]'s statement, Kiritsugu Emiya's face turned green as if he was forced to swallow an unusually unpalatable food.

[How is this possible?]

[How could she, who possesses such miraculous puppet technology, fail?]

He asked another question unwillingly.

"Can you try again?

"Maybe there is some misjudgment, maybe..."

[Aozaki Touko] was very dissatisfied with Kiritsugu Emiya's layman's statement.

She took off her glasses and switched her personality, blocking Kiritsugu Emiya's unfinished words with a very cold tone.

"I've already said, I can't heal it!!

"Mr. Emiya, are you questioning my magical level?

"Or do you think you know more about the difficulty of this healing than I do? Do you want to 'teach' me how to heal?"

-

Choked by [Aozaki Touko]'s tough words, Kiritsugu Emiya had to stop talking awkwardly, while thinking about backup plans in his heart.

[It seems that I can only find that Saber as a last resort.]

[But even the [puppeteer] 'Aozaki' can't do anything about the injury, can that Saber really solve it?]

Thinking that he had to slap himself in the face to ask Fang Yi, who was 'extremely dangerous' in his eyes.

Kiritsugu Emiya felt a headache, and his face was faintly feverish.

He had to wink at the red archer beside him, signaling the other party to come out to relieve the siege and ease the tense atmosphere with this [puppeteer].

But the red archer turned his head and pretended not to see it.

He didn't want to touch the other party's bad luck.

There is still a 'monster' in the other party's body that he can't solve.

When that bad-tempered [Scarlet of Pain] takes off her glasses, she is like a powder keg that is about to explode, and is likely to be 'ignited' at any time.

As long as one sentence is not right, it may trigger a 'passionate' battle.

He didn't want to have a meaningless battle with this immortal [puppeteer].

-

The [Aozaki Touko] who made the verdict did not pay attention to Kiritsugu Emiya's green face.

She seemed to be considering something, and rarely did not prepare to entangle.

Instead, she put on her glasses again, closed her bag, and made a reasonable request.

"Because it was not successful, I will only charge half of the reward for this shot.

"Also, if you can introduce me to another guest in this house.

"At the same time, let that Saber's master let me study it, these rewards can be waived."

Before Kiritsugu Emiya could answer, the red archer beside him replied.

"Of course, but we have to ask that guest's opinion first."

Kiritsugu Emiya, who was beside him, nodded helplessly and gave an answer.

"Archer, go and invite that Saber over quickly.

"No, I'll go and invite him myself."

Kiritsugu Emiya looked at [Aozaki Touko] who was looking at him with an impatient face.

Wisely choosing to leave his sight, he left somewhat wretchedly, and began to implement the policy of [Quickly go and invite Old Ancestor Fang Yi].

-----

At the same moment.

After answering several questions, Irisviel, who had learned the truth about Artoria's 'severed finger,' was being manipulated by Fang Yi as an experimental subject for demonstrating his techniques.

At this moment, she was experiencing the [Mimetic Limb] technology that Fang Yi had mentioned, as promised.

Fang Yi looked at the small wound he had made, which had already begun to heal itself without [Reversal Technique Enhancement], and the notification in his ear: [The collection progress of the optional task [Collect Artoria's Magic Power Sample] in your [Perfect Dragon] has changed from 75% to 85%]. He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

[As I deduced, the scabbard named [Avalon] is on her, as Artoria's Master.]

Fang Yi clearly remembered that after Artoria was summoned and a magic power link was established with her Master, if the Master was injured.

Under certain circumstances, the [Noble Phantasm] would automatically draw magic power from the scabbard's owner—Artoria—to heal the Master's injuries.

And [Avalon], the [Noble Phantasm] that ranked higher than the [Noble Phantasm] [Excalibur] ([The Everdistant Utopia]).

Obviously, recording this magic power could also complete the task of [Collect Artoria's Magic Power Sample].

Now, just opening a small wound has increased the progress so much.

If I open a slightly larger wound, I should be able to complete this task immediately.

-

Just as Fang Yi was sharpening his knife, ready to increase the progress again, there was another knock at the door.

"Most honorable guest, I am..."

Before the other party could finish speaking.

Fang Yi, eager to complete the task and confident in treating Artoria, impatiently interrupted him.

"Who you are is not important.

"What is important is to shut your mouth and keep quiet."

The next second, the door returned to silence.

Seeing the other party's sensible performance, Fang Yi nodded in satisfaction and began to continue his task.

He even planned to check the gains again, study the [Implant], and delay his 'emergence' for a while.

After all, people are somewhat cheap creatures.

[Things that are too easy to obtain, things that are delivered to your door, are often not cherished.]

The longer he delays, the greater the benefits he can get.
