"That guy's aura is just like that bastard father's... Is he a Human Emperor...?"

"No, it's impossible for another Human Emperor to emerge in this era. It should be—"

"This is truly strange. An individual called a Heroic Spirit can actually merge with a living person. Is it a method similar to possession?"

"Hmm... although it's the title of Human Emperor, it's different from my bastard father's. Is it Fuxi or Shennong...?"

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Ba's expression changed, returning to its previous gentle and leisurely state.

"Heh, really, what am I bothered about? What does this have to do with me?"

"But to be honest, Fuyuki City has been quite unsettled lately. Besides all sorts of strange and monstrous things, even two strange creatures have appeared."

"What a pity. If it were that bastard father of mine, I could have taken the opportunity to give him a good beating."

...

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lenore."

In the hotel lobby, Hartres, along with the young director, bowed to Lenor Gusin, who had just arrived.

"Hehe, it's not hard work at all. This is also a deal between me and Chief Ahad."

Lenore said with a smile, "That old man is quite dissatisfied with your lack of action."

Hartres: "After all, it's not time to take action yet."

"..."

Olga Marie instinctively hid behind Hartres.

For some reason, she had mixed feelings looking at the man named Lenor Gusin in front of her.

She felt a little scared after seeing him for the first time.

Her intuition told her that she had to stay away from this man.

But then, a voice popped up inside me.

The voice told her that this person was a good person, someone she could get close to, and even trust.

This gave the junior director a headache, making him wonder if he was going crazy.

"Oh, what's wrong, miss?"

Lenor looked at the young director with a gentle smile and said, "Nice to meet you. You must be the daughter of Lord Animusfia."

"Hello, I am Lenor Gusin."

"..."

The junior director wanted to return the greeting politely, but the conflicting feeling grew stronger, making her feel even more uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, it seems she's not feeling well."

Hartres noticed that something was wrong with the young director and immediately said, "Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while?"

He then gestured, signaling Hephaestion, who was in the form of a spirit particle, to escort the young director back.

"Um..."

The junior director nodded and left, feeling troubled.

Strangely enough, as soon as she could no longer see Lenore, her mind immediately calmed down.

So it really is related to that man...?

The junior director decided that he should not meet with this guy named Lenor Gusin again until he figured out what was going on.

After the junior director left, the two began to discuss serious matters.

Lenore: "Has the investigation into the Holy Grail been completed?"

Hartres: "Yes, we've discovered a lot of secrets that weren't known to others."

Lenore: "Oh? Can you tell me about the situation here?"

Hartres: "Heh, of course, there's nothing to hide."

...

"welcome."

At Einzbern Castle, Irisviel, accompanied by two maids, specially welcomed Aozaki Touko and her entourage.

Aozaki Touko: "Sorry, I brought all the employees with me. They all want to come and have a look around."

Irisviel: "It's okay, it's good to have more people, after all, it's been a long time since this place has been lively."

Led by Irisviel, the group entered the castle, where Kiritsugu Emiya was already waiting to greet them in the hall.

Kiritsugu Emiya: "Hello, Ms. Aozaki. This is the first time we've met in this world."

Aozaki Touko: "I'll be bothering you for the next few days."

Kiritsugu Emiya immediately instructed Lyselette to take Ryougi Shiki and the others to their respective rooms, while he took Touko Aozaki to the workshop prepared for them.

Aozaki Touko: "A tower, huh? That's quite thoughtful."

The workshop is located at the top of the tower, which ensures privacy and prevents people from disturbing it.

Of course, even if a research accident occurs, it will not affect others immediately.

"Miss Aozaki, please take care of me."

Emiya Shirou brought Pandora to the tower and politely greeted Aozaki Touko.

He will cooperate with Aozaki Touko's research for the next few days.

There's no way around it; no one but herself can use Pandora now.

...

"Hey, everyone's home."

Merlin, who had been out having fun, finally returned to Luvia's house after 9 p.m.

He still smelled of alcohol, clearly having gone out drinking.

Earlier, when everyone went out to eat, he said he wanted to go shopping by himself, and no one paid any attention to him. After all, he's a grown man, he can't possibly get lost. Who would have thought...

"You didn't go to a nightclub, did you?"

Feng Xi looked at the other party with a suspicious expression.

Merlin didn't hide anything and laughed, "Haha, that's right, modern young ladies are very open-minded."

Kai: "He's incorrigible."

Artoria: "Disgusting..."

Guna: "Don't come near me."

Merlin: "Hey, hey, I really just went out for a drink, what are you guys thinking!"

"OK OK."

Feng Xi said helplessly, "Stop wasting your time. How are your preparations going regarding the cleansing of evil in this world? It's been three days already!"

"Oh, don't worry, I just finished the final touches, it's all done."

Merlin laughed and said, "We can make our move tomorrow night. I guarantee that thing won't get away."

"It took you three days to prepare. You really did go out to slack off every night, didn't you?"

Kai exposed Merlin directly.

Merlin: "Oh dear, Kai-chan, how could you say that to me?"

Kai: "(==)"

Artoria: "Alright, now that everything is ready, let's double-check the plan. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong tomorrow night."

Feng Xi: "Alright, let's also inform Emiya and Rin, and tell their families to get ready as well."

...

"Hehehe, this moment has finally arrived..."

Yuanzang Mountain, the Great Hollow Cave, a place where humans should not exist, has now been trespassed upon.

Leading the group was the 'Old Bug,' followed by Shinji Matou, Hassan the Cursed Arm, and a short figure wearing a cloak.

"Merlin's barrier... Hmph, it is indeed powerful, but it still cannot compare to that one."

The 'old bug' looked at the short figure: 'Alright, it's time for you to show your worth.'
