A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

As he analyzed this, Kiritsugu Emiya added an exclamation mark after Berserker's name.

"Then there's Assassin. The videotape that Maiya brought that day showed that Assassin was killed after invading the Tohsaka Mansion. Although we still don't know who his Master is, it's more practical to focus on other enemies for someone who has already lost his Servant."

Kiritsugu Emiya crossed out the name Assassin.

"Next is Rider. According to the current information, Rider's Master is a third-rate magician. However, this Servant who calls himself the King of Conquerors, although he speaks quite casually and boldly, has only revealed a flying Noble Phantasm. It is completely uncertain whether he has a more powerful Noble Phantasm."

Although Waver Velvet was only a third-rate magician and posed no threat to Kiritsugu Emiya, the "Magician Killer" who had killed countless self-proclaimed first-rate magicians, Kiritsugu still cautiously speculated about Rider's every move due to the reputation of the "Conqueror King".

"Then, according to the information provided by Maiya, Kenneth, who came to Fuyuki from the 'Clock Tower,' is still staying at the Hyatt Hotel. Could he also be one of the Masters?"

The monarch of the "Clock Tower" has come to Fuyuki City specifically for sightseeing; he certainly didn't come here for tourism.

"Let Maimi send her familiars to continue investigating... Let's go check it out tonight."

They now fully understood the floor where Kenneth was located, and Kiritsugu Emiya had devised a countermeasure against this enemy who had always stayed in one place.

After confirming these things, Kiritsugu Emiya then wrote down the last name that concerned him on the A4 paper.

"Finally, there's Lancer, who overpowered Saber in the last battle. He wields a golden spear-shaped Noble Phantasm, possesses exceptional martial arts skills, and we don't even know his true name. He's a huge threat..."

"Also, Lancer's Master looks like a 6 or 7-year-old child, maybe even just a primary school student. Why is he so calm in the face of the Holy Grail War?"

Just thinking about everything that happened that night made Kiritsugu Emiya feel inexplicably uneasy, and his hand holding the pen tightened involuntarily.

"Could he be a descendant of some secret magic family? If so, that's possible... But at this age, his body can't withstand the pain of transferring a magic crest, so his magic level probably isn't strong. How can he provide magic power to a powerful Servant like Lancer? Won't he be drained dry?"

Incomprehensible.

Even if it were some kind of secret magic family, they wouldn't send such a young child to participate in the Holy Grail War.

If the other party is truly such an arrogant person, then Kiritsugu Emiya will show them what happens when you underestimate the Holy Grail War.

"That's about it. Although we've only been through one battle, we already know the basic strength and personality of the Servant that was revealed."

The next goal is already clear.

Emiya Kiritsugu circled the name "Orihara Shirou" in red pen.

"Let's start with you!"

First, the biggest question needs to be addressed, otherwise Kiritsugu Emiya feels he will keep thinking about it.

After leaving the business hotel, Kiritsugu Emiya arrived at the location he had previously scouted, bathed in the warm afternoon sun.

That seemingly ordinary house was the official address of the family home of a boy named Orihara Shirou.

This kind of thing is easy for Kiritsugu Emiya to find.

But the more this happened, the more Kiritsugu Emiya felt something was wrong.

As a Master, the other party cannot help but bring their Servant with them, otherwise they would be in danger if they encountered other Servants.

But if that happens, his family will be found so easily, and kidnapping or killing them will become effortless.

That's why, even though Kiritsugu Emiya had already found out which school Shirou attended, he didn't choose to target Yashirodai Elementary School directly, but instead chose to target Shirou's home.

After all, in Kiritsugu Emiya's view, this would be easier to succeed.

"Orihara Shirou... whether you are a descendant of a secret family of mages or you really just got involved in this Holy Grail War by luck, we will soon find out."

Kiritsugu Emiya walked toward the house that was almost indistinguishable from its surroundings.

Just as they were getting close, a blazing flame, as long as a spear, suddenly attacked.

boom----!

"Time alter—double accel!" (Time-based control—double speed)

Kiritsugu Emiya's pupils contracted sharply, and his body increased its speed in that brief moment.

He narrowly escaped the attack.

A wall some distance behind him exploded violently after being struck by the flames, with the force of an RPG rocket launcher.

Kiritsugu Emiya was horrified. If he hadn't used "Time Control" at the last moment, he would have been killed by this attack.

"Time Control" is a specialized magic possessed by Kiritsugu Emiya. It is a magic that the Emiya family has explored about time manipulation over generations, and all the results are accumulated in the magic crest on Kiritsugu Emiya's body.

"Time Control" is a high-level magic. Although it is classified as a major magic, it does not belong to the category of "magic" that cannot be reproduced.

This magic trick is much weaker than "time manipulation," which reverses cause and effect and changes the past. It is merely a "time adjustment" magic trick that freezes the past and speeds up the future.

In order to use it in actual combat, Kiritsugu Emiya modified the magic, applying it to himself to enable his body to achieve speeds that are impossible for humans.

The downside of doing this is that after the magic is dispelled, the world will adjust to the time difference, which will put a great burden on the body.

That last move had already taken a toll on Kiritsugu Emiya's body, and after confirming that Lancer hadn't left the house, he naturally didn't dare to linger any longer.

"You didn't bring Lancer to school...?"

As Kiritsugu Emiya fled in a disheveled state, he murmured in disbelief.

Emiya Kiritsugu did not believe that the other party had anticipated that he would do this.

That's a judgment that can only be made when you understand the enemy to a certain extent.

But how could that child possibly understand him, a magician assassin who had only recently arrived in Fuyuki City?

That should be impossible.

"Who...are you?"

The more Kiritsugu Emiya pondered the question about that child, the further he felt from the answer he wanted, which only made him more anxious.

There was no need to continue formulating the battle plan. Once he had some free time, Kiritsugu Emiya felt that he would definitely fall into fear because of the unknown.

"Let's go to the Hyatt Hotel first..."

Since we've failed here, let's target Kenneth instead.

Chapter Twenty-Seven followed immediately.

The sun in the west was tilting further and further away, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed golden yellow, indicating that dusk had arrived.

After Shirou returned home, he asked Karna if anything had happened that day.

Karna immediately informed Shirou about Kiritsugu Emiya's arrival that day.

"Unfortunately, there were people around at the time. I was worried about making too much noise, so I deliberately restrained my power. I didn't expect that the other party would escape... I'm really sorry, Master."

Karna lowered his head involuntarily.

Since Shirou's orders were to protect the house, Karna did not continue to pursue after his first attack was dodged.

"There's no need to apologize. I only asked you to protect the family. As long as the family is safe, you've already fulfilled your duty."

Shirou continued, "It'll be evening soon, I'll go out for a bit, you continue to guard the house."

Karna nodded upon hearing this.

"Please be careful, Master. If you encounter any danger, be sure to use a Command Spell to summon me."

"Ok, I know."

Having agreed, Shirou left home.

Walking on the street bathed in the glow of dusk, Shirou squinted slightly.

"Given Kiritsugu Emiya's personality, he probably wouldn't be traveling with Irisviel and Saber. In that case, he's likely only at one base."

Actually, there's not much need for speculation. Shirou, who knows the plot, arrived at a business hotel not long afterward.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the place."

The only decent thing about this hotel is the lobby and the front desk; at best, it's a cheap business hotel.

From travelers with their families to men and women seeking one-night stands, the guests here are all sorts of people, which is why this place has become the best place for Kiritsugu Emiya to hide his identity.

Going in as a child might cause some trouble, so Shirou used magic to change his form, transforming into a boy.

After growing much taller, Shirou's field of vision also became slightly different.

"Even though it's a fake body, it's actually kind of something I don't want to change back to..."

With these thoughts in mind, Shirou walked through the lobby and took the elevator to the seventh floor.

Shirou stopped in front of the door of room 703.

Now, opening a locked door is not difficult for him.

boom!

The lock fell to the ground with a clatter.

Shirou pushed open the door and stepped into the room.

The room facilities were simply a hotel layout.

Shirou first searched the room and found no items related to magicians.

Only at the desk did Shirow see a few photos and an A4 sheet of paper.

Several Servant classes were listed above, including Shirou's name, which was circled in red.

"Now that you've failed me, what will you do next, Kiritsugu Emiya...?"

Shiro picked up the photo and looked at it, discovering that it was a picture of the Hyatt Hotel.

"Kenneth..."

This magician, who hasn't appeared at all from beginning to end, seems to have been targeted by Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Go and have a look."

Although he couldn't say he had complete control over what would happen next, he would have to wait and see.

Without hesitation, Shirou immediately set off for the Hyatt Hotel.

……

The Hyatt Hotel is undoubtedly the most luxurious hotel in Xindu.

Given Kenneth's personality, while he wouldn't think highly of this hotel, he also wouldn't settle for any other hotel that wasn't up to par.

Given his personality, choosing this hotel was almost a no-brainer.

As Shiro predicted, Kenneth was indeed staying in the luxury suite on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel.
