Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"Come in!"

"Uncle."

It was the girl in the wheelchair that Emiya had seen before.

She was a woman with long, light brown hair, clear eyes, and a very soft voice.

Her wheelchair moved into the room on its own without anyone pushing it.

"Fiore, have you found anything?"

Danic turned around and looked at Fiore, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked her a question.

Before Shirou Emiya became an ally, Darnic had no intention of investigating his intelligence, as his initial plan was to strip him of his Command Seals and use them as a furnace.

Why bother investigating information about someone who is about to die?

But now that Shirou Emiya has become a Master, he also has an extremely powerful Servant, so Darnic must understand Shirou Emiya's background.

"If we only investigate Shirou Emiya, I'm sorry, Uncle, I haven't found any valuable information."

Fiore sat in the chair, head bowed, expressing her apology.

"Judging from the images of familiars throughout Tulipas and the surrounding residents, he seems to have appeared out of thin air in that forest. Furthermore, there is absolutely no information about Emiya Shirou in either the magic world or the world's population register."

Upon hearing this, Danic gripped the wine glass in his hand even tighter.

But Fiore showed no signs of stopping, continuing to share the information she could find.

"But if we investigate the surname Emiya, we find some very interesting information."

As she spoke, a screen was projected in front of Fiore, displaying detailed information about a man holding a gun, much like a Baidu Encyclopedia entry.

"Emiya Norikaze, the magician designated by the Mage's Association, and his son, Emiya Kiritsugu, the man known as the 'Magician Killer'."

"The Magician Killer?"

Danic had heard a little about this, after all, his ruthless killing of magicians had made all magicians extremely indignant, but at the time he somewhat agreed with his style.

If it weren't for his collaboration with the Nazis, the Holy Grail wouldn't be in his hands now, and he wouldn't have the ability to break away from the Mage's Association.

If we're only talking about ruthless methods, Danick completely agrees with the Magician Killer's style; only the victor has the right to speak.

Chapter 115 An Accidental Encounter

"That Master's Saber might not be a Servant from the Red Faction."

Fiore and Danic shared their insights.

Why do you say that?

“I asked Archer, and when he was summoned, the Holy Grail told him that he was a Servant belonging to the [Black] faction. Similarly, if a Servant from the Red faction were summoned, they should all know this information.”

"So what? Even if they received the news that they were a red team servant immediately, most of them wouldn't make any rash moves if they were surrounded by black team servants like this."

Danic responded to Fiore's question.

“No, that’s what I thought at first too, but Archer told me this: ‘It’s not that I’m confused about being in the enemy’s camp, but that I’m confused about having so many Servants around me.’”

"Is there any difference between the two?"

Danic didn't follow Fiore's train of thought. In fact, if it weren't for Archer's analysis, Fiore wouldn't have figured out the reason so quickly.

"It is very likely that the information that Saber received from the Holy Grail was the information given in the normal Holy Grail War, and that she defeated the other six riders to win the Holy Grail."

"But that's just your deduction. If you really say that, then wouldn't that Saber be considered a Servant from an extra faction?"

Danic didn't completely believe Fiore's story. If that were true, wouldn't the Holy Grail have a flaw? But the qualification of a Master was granted by the Holy Grail.

It has no reason to break this unchanging rule.

But Fiore shook her head.

"The familiars have received intelligence that all of the Red Team's Servants have been summoned, including Saber!"

Upon hearing this, Danic's pupils constricted sharply, and he was momentarily speechless.

"This Holy Grail War is truly a turbulent one."

"But in any case, only the victory of Yggdmillennia is necessary."

Is it necessary?

Danic's words made Fiore let out a long sigh as she stared at Danic, who was clenching his fists tightly.

His eyes were filled with worry.

This Holy Grail War is destined to be full of unexpected events. For Darnic, reducing variables is more important than increasing his own strength.

He had made countless preparations for this day; the unexpected brought both opportunities and dangers.

Tulipas.

It was a city located on the outskirts of Transylvania, Romania.

It was also the location that Danic decided would be the site of the Holy Grail War.

Their castle was also built on a distant hill, allowing them to monitor everything that happened in Tulipas.

Most of the buildings in this city were built on medieval structures that have undergone extensive repairs and renovations.

The appearance is nothing like that of modern times; it still retains the style of the Middle Ages, with stone houses everywhere.

The population is only around 20,000, who make a living through trivial agriculture and textile industries.

The city walls, built in the Middle Ages to prevent Turkish soldiers from invading, are still well-preserved today, encircling parts of the fortress and city.

Emiya was walking down the street with his servant.

Arthur had also changed into casual clothes, and it seemed that this was not his first time encountering modern things. He wore black trousers, a red shirt, and a long trench coat, and walked down the street, causing many women to turn their heads to look at him.

"Master, you should know that you've been under their surveillance all along."

Arthur looked at the black crow hanging on the nearby telephone pole and asked Emiya a question.

"I can feel a gaze constantly fixed on me, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Emiya could only answer Arthur's question with a wry smile. He was an outsider from Yggdrasil, and he wasn't a real magician, so he couldn't understand what those people were thinking.

Moreover, his identity made them feel unsafe, so being monitored like this was only to be expected.

Emiya has a clear conscience about his actions and has absolutely no ulterior motives.

His sole purpose in participating in this Holy Grail War was to prevent innocent victims from appearing.

Emiya has no need for the Holy Grail. Whether the Reds or the Blacks win, he will not stop them as long as their wishes do not cause harm.

"Saber, what is your wish regarding the Holy Grail?"

Emiya asked Arthur, wanting to know why his Servant was participating in the Holy Grail War.

But Arthur shook his head.

“I have no desires to fulfill, I am simply called upon, and I should respond as always.”

Arthur's eyes were extremely sincere. He had long since freed himself from his past obsessions, and he had no confusion or desires that required the Holy Grail to fulfill.

He merely sensed someone calling him, and he simply drew his weapon and appeared in response.

There was no special reason, and that was his reason.

"is it?"

Emiya nodded in strong agreement. He had no doubts about Arthur, just as Arthur trusted him, Emiya trusted his servant.

"Master, there's a Servant's aura nearby!"

Seemingly sensing something, Arthur looked ahead in the direction he perceived.

Emiya also looked on with a serious and prepared attitude.

If we don't count the Black faction's Servants, this can be considered the first time Emiya has encountered a local Servant.

"Hey, you two over there, don't be so serious. We were just passing by, let's pretend we didn't see anything."

Among the crowd, a man with an extremely fierce-looking face, wearing sunglasses, a leather jacket, and a cigarette walked over.

He seemed completely unconcerned about the danger he was facing.

Are you the Master of the Red faction?

Emiya did not project any weapons. Since the other Master did not show any hostility, Emiya would not show any hostility towards him either.

Moreover, they are currently in a crowd on the street, and Emiya cannot possibly choose to fight them while ignoring those around him.

"Yes, buddy, the Holy Grail War doesn't start during the day. Aren't you going to let your Servant become a spirit?"

This is a customary practice in the Holy Grail Wars; to ensure their secrecy, the Holy Grail Wars generally take place at night.

This was done in order to better conceal their true intentions.

The most direct manifestation of this is that residents wake up to find that a gas leak has occurred in a certain place.

Since they didn't see it with their own eyes, any method will do, as long as it can cover up the traces.

I don't know how they managed to fall asleep peacefully amidst such deafening noise.

Chapter 116 The Unexpected Struggle

"Walking on the street with a Servant like this will make it easy for the enemy to obtain a lot of information."

The man with the fierce look spoke up to remind Emiya Shirou.

Although he probably didn't have the right to criticize Shirou Emiya, after all, just now, he and his Servant had also walked directly down the street without any intention of hiding their whereabouts.

Even when being watched by a familiar, he made no plans.

until--

"Master, I sense a familiar aura; it must be an enemy Servant."
