I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"But I personally think that their goal is not just the Holy Grail, but very likely that we are included as well."

Hearing this, Leonardo da Vinci looked at Dr. Roman with curiosity and asked:

"Oh? What's the reason?"

In response to Da Vinci's question, Dr. Roman shared his analysis. According to Dr. Roman, if the other party only wanted the Holy Grail, eliminating them all might not be a problem. After all, according to Mashu's report, the opponent's strength allowed them to easily deploy their shields. If the opponent launched an attack at that time, Mashu wasn't sure if she could stop it.

Most importantly, it's what the other party said to Mashu and the others.

"If you want these Holy Grails back, come find me. I will be waiting for you in the world of the Creator."

Judging from the location, it can be inferred that the other party wants Fujimaru Tachibana and the others to go to the other party's so-called "creator's world" to find them. Obviously, the other party's purpose is most likely to make Fujimaru Tachibana and the others go to the other party's world.

But this is strange. If the other party is stronger than Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu, wouldn't it be easy for them to kidnap Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu?

Why would the other party do something so puzzling? This is one of the reasons that makes Dr. Roman most uneasy.

................................................................

In a small alleyway in the Tokyo area of ​​Japan.

As Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu experienced a state of weightlessness, they fell to the ground from a height of about ten centimeters. Fujimaru Tachibana breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. To be honest, she was terrified when she was teleported to a high altitude in Uruk last time. If Mashu hadn't been by her side, she probably would have been smashed to pieces.

"Eh? Where is this?"

Upon hearing Mashu's words, Fujimaru Tachibana noticed her surroundings and, seeing this, couldn't help but show a surprised expression, saying:

"Huh??? This is... a city in Japan?"

Looking at the messy clutter in the alley and the familiar Japanese signs next to the shops, Fujimaru Tachibana couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. Without a doubt, this was the same place where she used to live in Japan!

Mashu, standing to the side, looked puzzled at the scene before her, clearly wondering why they were in a modern city in Japan.

"Hey Mashu, do you think Dr. Roman and the others teleported us to the wrong place?"

Mashu was somewhat speechless when she looked at her senior's question and said:

"Uh... Senior, I don't think Dr. Roman and the others would make such a small mistake, would they?"

Fujimaru Tachibana also looked completely bewildered, so she looked at Mashu and said:

"Alright, anyway, let's contact Dr. Roman and the others first. If they really haven't made a mistake, then Altair might be in this singularity. Uh... although I don't know what singularities are in this world. I just hope nothing weird pops up."

Upon hearing Fujimaru Tachibana's suggestion, Mashu nodded in agreement. So, Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu tried to contact Chaldea, but a problem arose: the signal was intermittent. For some reason, the message coming from Chaldea was very choppy, and they could only make out a few words. This caused Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu a lot of distress.

"It seems the signal here isn't very good... What's going on? The situation wasn't this bad back in Uruk..."

Seeing Mashu's troubled expression, Fujimaru Tachibana scratched his short hair, pondering the question of their next move, and said:

"More than anything else, I'm worried about whether supplies can be delivered from there. After all, this is a modern city... Without money, getting food will be a real hassle, and even hunting won't be easy..."

Hearing her senior's words, Mashu nodded in agreement.

For the first time, both Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu were feeling troubled by money...

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1369 [Fujimaru Tachibana: Has the Holy Grail grown legs?]

"In any case, let's investigate this Japanese city and see if there's anything unusual about it."

Unable to come up with a general idea, Fujimaru Tachibana decided to investigate the city first. Mashu nodded in agreement, as Fujimaru Tachibana and the others, having previous experience in other singularities, intended to figure out what kind of situation this world was before making any plans.

While Fujimaru Tachibana himself didn't know how this Japanese city differed from the Japanese city in his own world, he personally hoped that there wouldn't be too much difference. After all, if there were too much difference, Fujimaru Tachibana was a little worried that some awkward situation might arise.

One advantage is that if something happens in a big city like this, it will definitely be on the news on TV. Compared to those ancient or apocalyptic scenarios, intelligence gathering in this modern city is much easier, mainly due to the environment.

The only concern is money.

Soon, Fujimaru Tachibana used her Mystic Code to cast a magic spell similar to invisibility on herself and Mashu. Although it wasn't a permanent effect, it was enough for Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu to conduct their investigation for a while.

The main reason they used invisibility was because of what they were wearing. Their outfits didn't look like normal clothes at all; instead, they looked like costumes for cosplay characters. They would feel very embarrassed if normal people saw them.

Of course, there is a second reason, which is because of Altair's problem. They want to avoid being seen by the other side's spies. If they are discovered, the two of them feel that the other side will probably send people to cause trouble for them.

In any case, figuring out the current situation first and then finding allies is the most important thing.

If I'm not mistaken, Altair is probably waiting for them to show up.

.................................................. ................

After Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu walked out of the alley, Fujimaru Tachibana looked at the city in front of her and couldn't help but show a surprised expression, saying:

"Oh, oh, oh, this is the Tokyo area..."

Hearing Fujimaru Tachibana's words, Mashu, who was standing nearby, also looked at Fujimaru Tachibana with a curious expression and asked:

"Senior, do you mean this is the Tokyo area?"

To Mashu's puzzled expression, Fujimaru Tachibana nodded and said:

"That's right, this is the Tokyo area. Although it has changed a bit, you can still recognize the iconic buildings here."

Upon hearing Fujimaru Tachibana's words, Mashu focused her gaze on the tower-like building in front of Fujimaru Tachibana.

After Fujimaru Tachibana determined their location, she and her group began searching for the electronics store, where there were many televisions that broadcast news for customers.

Soon, thanks to Fujimaru Tachibana's quick thinking, she and Mashu found an electronics store on the street, where they also saw the news report about the area.

Hmm... how should I put it? Isn't it a bit too peaceful?

For Fujimaru Tachibana, every time she arrives at a singularity, some very unusual things will appear, such as monsters, punk robots, or strange buildings.

However, Fujimaru Tachibana did not see such information on TV, which made her scratch her head in confusion. Could it be that the Heroic Spirits have all become well-behaved this time?

If that were really the case, Fujimaru Tachibana couldn't help but feel troubled. If the other party didn't cause any trouble, what was the point of all this investigation?

Seeing Fujimaru Tachibana's troubled expression, Mashu couldn't help but speak up:

"Senior, the Heroic Spirits in this Singularity seem to be hiding very well. But should we use the bracelet that Da Vinci personally gave us?"

Upon hearing Mashu's words, Fujimaru Tachibana clapped her hands as if she had just realized something and said:

"Yes, we can use the bracelet that Leonardo da Vinci gave us!"

As they spoke, Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu activated the search function on their bracelets to search for the whereabouts of the Holy Grail or targets with a large amount of magical energy.

Soon, the pointer projected onto the bracelet appeared, and after rotating a few times, it pointed the target in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu perked up. Clearly, the other side hadn't conducted any counter-detection work on the Holy Grail, which gave them hope of finding it.

So Fujimaru Tachibana and the others started following the direction of the pointer to find the target's location. Although Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu had considered the possibility that the Holy Grail might be a trap set by the enemy, given the current situation, even if it was a trap, Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu decided to investigate. It was better than foolishly wandering around the city.

Soon, following the pointer's direction, Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu had traveled a distance when they discovered a problem: the Holy Grail's location was movable.

Fujimaru Tachibana, upon seeing this, almost popped her eyes out and exclaimed:

"Holy crap?! Did this Holy Grail grow legs or something? It can actually move?!"

Seeing this reaction, Mashu realized something and said to Fujimaru Tachibana:

"Senior, could it be that the other party carried the Holy Grail on their person or on some kind of vehicle?"

Regarding Mashu's question, Fujimaru Tachibana scratched his head and frowned as he spoke:

"I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem like a trap, right? After all, if it were a trap, there would be no need to carry around a bunch of Holy Grails, would there?"

After all, the bracelets Da Vinci gave them had the ability to search for magic sources in more than a dozen locations at the same time. Now that only one location has appeared, it means that the other party may be carrying all the Holy Grails, or only one Holy Grail, and the rest may be sealed away.

Regardless, this is good news. After all, if the enemy is in a dark location, it's not easy for Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu to find each other. Now, at least they have a target to look for.

"No matter what, we still have to take a look. After all, given the current situation, if we're wrong, we don't know how long we'll have to wait or how long we'll have to search before any new clues appear."

Hearing her senior's words, Mash nodded in understanding. She also supported Fujimaru Tachibana's suggestion, since in terms of search capabilities, the two of them were practically idiots. It would be better to let some Servants with the Assassin class do the job.

Soon, under the actions of Fujimaru Tachibana and the others, they followed the Holy Grail for quite some time. To be honest, Fujimaru Tachibana even suspected that the other party wanted to exhaust them by making them run around so much.

"Phew... Is that guy with the Holy Grail an idiot? Why is he hiding like that with the Holy Grail? Can't he just fight us honestly?"

In response to Fujimaru Tachibana's words, Mashu, who was standing nearby, wiped the sweat from Fujimaru Tachibana's forehead and said:

"I think that's very likely, senior. It's very possible that the other side knows we're tracking her, so they're circling around us to wear us down before sending out attackers to attack us."

Of course, while Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu were thinking this, Irisviel, who was in a car, couldn't help but sneeze. For some reason, Irisviel felt like someone was talking badly about her.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1370 [A ( ) Fell From the Sky]

While driving, Hisayu Maiya heard Irisviel sneeze and couldn't help but ask her:

"Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Hisayuu Maiya's words, Irisviel touched her nose and said:

"It's nothing, Yuya. I just feel like someone's thinking about me, right? Hehe, probably Kiritsugu~"

Hisayu Maiya blinked with a puzzled look when she heard Irisviel's answer, but as long as Irisviel was alright, Herayu Maiya didn't care too much.

Afterwards, Hisayu Maiya drove the car with Irisviel to the location of an abandoned factory in the countryside. The factory used to be useful, but a fire not long ago destroyed most of the things here, leaving only a frame and a few pieces of sheet metal.

In any case, this place is relatively secluded and there are no people around. Kiritsugu Emiya had previously checked this place and found that no one had left any monitoring equipment. So Kiritsugu Emiya planned to perform a Heroic Spirit summoning here.

That's right, Kiritsugu Emiya plans to summon another Heroic Spirit. The specific reason is that Kiritsugu Emiya feels that the current situation is very troublesome. After all, the three fires last time did not seem like something that normal people could do. Kiritsugu Emiya suspects that it may be a battle caused by some guys from other worlds like them.

Meanwhile, the sporadic news coming from China regarding the so-called "dimensional invasion" made Kiritsugu Emiya feel a sense of crisis. Although they had an ace like Artoria, it didn't mean that Artoria was invincible. Rather, Artoria was just one person and couldn't possibly be by his side at the same time as Irisviel.

Therefore, Kiritsugu Emiya also planned to summon a Heroic Spirit to help Artoria with her work.

Although he didn't know if summoning Heroic Spirits was possible in this world, Kiritsugu Emiya decided to give it a try. If it didn't work, there wouldn't be much of a loss. If it did work, he would have an extra helper, so it would be a win-win situation either way.

The only problem is that we don't know what kind of heroes will be summoned. It would be troublesome if we summoned non-combat Servants like Shakespeare or Andersen, since such Servants are not very helpful to Emiya Kiritsugu.

Kiritsugu Emiya, however, wanted the Assassin's Servant more, since Assassin's abilities were better suited for covert operations, ambushes, and intelligence gathering, while Artoria was sufficient for direct combat.

Furthermore, there are some places that even Kiritsugu Emiya could not get through using magic, and Assassin might be able to use his spirit form to sneak through those heavily guarded places and get what he wants.

After preparing all the materials for drawing the summoning circle, Kiritsugu Emiya began to draw it. Artoria, who was standing nearby, did not offer any help. The reason was simple: Kiritsugu was worried that Artoria would draw the summoning circle crookedly, so he asked her to call a guard to prevent any enemies or other people from interfering with the summoning ritual.

Although he didn't know what the consequences would be if the summoning circle were drawn crookedly, Kiritsugu Emiya didn't want to test that possibility.

After all, the materials used to draw the summoning circle were brought from their world. Wasting even a little bit would mean less, and it would be troublesome if they didn't have them when they needed them later. After all, finding suitable magical materials in this world is extremely rare—no, it might be that there are none at all.

After setting up the summoning circle, Kiritsugu Emiya took off his gloves. At the same time, he heard the sound of a vehicle outside. Hearing the familiar engine sound, he knew that Irisviel and the others had returned.

After Kiritsugu Emiya walked out of the abandoned factory, he couldn't help but relax as he watched the car approaching in the distance. He was relieved to see Irisviel and Maiya Hisau safe and sound inside the car. Kiritsugu had been a little uneasy about the long journey they had taken, but it seemed that everything had gone smoothly.

After Irisviel and the others got out of the car, they took out two cages containing live chickens from the trunk. Irisviel looked at Kiritsugu Emiya and the others apologetically and said:

"I'm sorry, Kiritsugu, it's a bit difficult to find live chickens at the market, so it takes quite a bit of time."

In response to Irisviel's words, Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head and said:
