I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

As a participant in this Holy Grail War, he is also entitled to know some inside information.

For example, the next Holy Grail War is expected to officially begin between 1990 and 1995.

The location is in London.

All the contestants were magicians from the Clock Tower.

After summoning the Heroic Spirits, immediately use Command Seals to order them to commit suicide. Fill the Holy Grail, then wish to continue the Great Source.

Therefore, he will not participate in this Holy Grail War.

Because he couldn't allow that king to commit suicide, nor did he want to summon other heroic spirits.

So the time after that... the time after that will be fair competition.

The Mage's Association will allocate some spots internally, auction off some spots at high prices, and then find a less populated city to hold the Holy Grail War. Whether there will be a winner in the end is irrelevant.

This is the idea of ​​the Magic Association.

However, there were only six spots available. Three were taken internally by the Mage's Association, three were auctioned off, and the seventh spot went to the Einzbern family.

Waver's goal... is precisely the next Holy Grail War! He needs to achieve enough merit to obtain one of the three spots available within the Mage's Association.

Therefore... he must become the monarch before that!

The current ruler of the "Modern Magic" discipline has just disappeared, his whereabouts unknown. Therefore, he needs to demonstrate his worth to everyone and secure this position!

Chapter 153 Meeting with Kiritsugu Emiya

"Phew—finally done." Kurokawa Kazuya breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go back to Morioh first. Last time he went back, he only stayed for two days.

This time, I need to pack my luggage over there too.

For example...

The original manuscript of a comic that has never been used.

The original manuscript of the manga I brought back from Fuyuki City is still there.

In Kanbuko City, the house I'm supposed to stay in is still under renovation. That means I'll still be spending the next two weeks or so in Morioh.

As he quieted down on the train back to Morioh, he remembered the invitation he had received earlier, the "Magic Eye Collection Train"...

Before you truly understand your past, you need to buy a few "magic eyes".

As the name suggests, "Demon Eye Kill" is for dealing with demonic eyes.

There are all sorts of Mystic Eye holders on the Mystic Eye Collection Train, and there are even Mystic Eyes that are out of control... It's precisely because they are out of control that people go there to ask them for help in dismantling them.

This way, not only can you remove your own demon eye and replace it with a regular eye, but you can also sell the demon eye directly.

Otherwise, being stared at would cause heart palpitations or be engulfed in flames, which would be considered good.

If I were to get entangled in some terrible, forced contract, that would be awful. I can't exactly let someone use a Command Seal just because they look at me, can I?

Therefore, a variety of necessary and diverse magical eye techniques are essential.

The most common type of Mystic Eye Killer is the glasses type... then there are others, even types like "vibrator/egg" Mystic Eye Killers...

In short, this requires some connections; you could ask Liangyijia if they have any relevant channels.

"Okay, that's enough."

After getting off the car, Kurokawa Kazuya narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked around, said nothing, and slowly walked towards his home.

"Emiya Kiritsugu..."

"Ah, it's me." The man standing to the side, without hiding, extinguished the cigarette in his portable ashtray and said, "I've come here hoping to make a deal with you."

“A trade? I…” Kurokawa Kazuya thought for a moment, then smiled: “Alright, although I don’t know what you want from me, I really like trades. I happen to have some things that require the connections of magicians like you, so it saves me the trouble of asking others for help.”

With that, the two went into the room.

The house where I fought Kiritsugu Emiya is right across the street.

Kurokawa Kazuya hadn't had time to make repairs yet.

"Sit down," Kurokawa Kazuya said. "I won't offer you anything to drink... As you can see, there's no such thing in this room right now. Oh, right... there's still running water."

“No need,” Kiritsugu Emiya said. “Then, what do you want?”

“I should be the one saying that,” Kurokawa Kazuya said, glancing at the dust in the room and wiping the chair. “What do you want that makes you specifically seek me out?”

The person in front of me must have investigated me.

Then it should be very clear that you don't care about money at all.

Kiritsugu Emiya's assets were simply not enough.

So, what does he want to use, and what does he want to get from me...?

“Well then, let me first tell you what I originally intended to use as the bargaining chip,” Kiritsugu Emiya said. “I know you probably don’t care about money, and I don’t have a price that would tempt you. So… how about the story?”

"Tell me in more detail." Kurokawa Kazuya's eyes lit up slightly.

Emiya Kiritsugu's heart stirred slightly; he could tell that Kurokawa Kazuya was interested: "How about I tell you my story? I can tell you everything I've ever been through, whatever you want to know."

"A story... indeed, it's quite good. To be honest, I'm intrigued," Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. The events that Emiya Kiritsugu experienced could definitely not be fully told in just two episodes of the anime.

His life must have been a complex one.

It is full of all sorts of elements; Kurokawa and Miya alone can come up with many.

It is estimated that it will involve "firearms", "mystery", "agents", "the Holy Church", "the Magic Association", "various battlefields", "various people", and so on, as well as various experiences.

If it were drawn as a comic...

Or you could simply make it into an animation...

That would be fantastic!

"Then..." Kiritsugu Emiya said, "How about it?"

"Tell me, what do you want from me? To be honest, I don't think there's anything here that will tempt you." Kurokawa Kazuya said, spreading his arms and resting his chin on his hand as he looked at the man in front of him.

"ripple."

"Huh? What did you say?" Kurokawa Kazuya covered his forehead. "You said... Ripple? You want to get Ripple from me?"

“That’s right.” Kiritsugu Emiya sighed. “Since you created that manga, you couldn’t possibly be unaware of Irelia and Illya’s flaws… namely, their lives. Their human capabilities aren’t complete; their lives are finite, so…”

"Do they hope to obtain ripples to prolong their lives...?"

“That’s right.” Kiritsugu Emiya nodded. “In my knowledge, there are only two people who can do this.”

"One is a Grand-rank puppeteer, Aozaki Touko. However, she has already been sealed by the Mage's Association, and no one knows where she is now."

"The other one... is your Ripple technique. That's a technique that can store life energy, right? It can keep people young and prolong their lifespan, so... it might be useful for Alice and Illya."

"I see..."

Kurokawa Kazuya was silent for a moment: "I don't know if Ripple will have any effect on them, after all, there is no precedent for this in my knowledge."

"You mean..." Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes lit up slightly.

"Yes, I can teach them Ripple, but as a condition, I have another request besides the story."

"What?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked nervously.

This concerns the lives of Alice and Illya, no matter what... he will agree!

"Help me get the [Demon Eye Killer], and I'll cover the cost. You just need to provide the means to purchase it."

"...That's it?" Kiritsugu Emiya said with some surprise.

"That's right, just like that."

"Phew... I understand." Kiritsugu Emiya nodded, but he still had ways to obtain the Mystic Eyes. Besides... the person in front of him was paying for it.

He didn't say what he contributed.

This amount of money was considerable for him, but for Kurokawa Kazuya...

Really, it's nothing.

"By the way, you're free now, right? How about you come work for me?" Kurokawa Kazuya suddenly asked, as if he had just thought of something. "The salary will definitely satisfy you."

Chapter 154 Voice Actor Emiya

"Would you like to work for me?"

Upon hearing Kurokawa Kazuya's words, the ruthless assassin finally froze: "What?"

"How about you come work for me?" Kurokawa Kazuya continued, "You're not doing the 'Magician Killer' business anymore, right? No matter what, you need money to live, and you... you don't actually have much money, do you? You don't have much money left over from the Einzbern family, do you?"

Emiya Kiritsugu remained silent.

What Kurokawa Kazuya said is true.

He has no money left.

Although they have enough money to live on for a while, that's all.

There are currently six people living in the Emiya residence: the Emiya family, Hisahito Maiya, Emiya Mumei, and the elderly man who lives with Emiya Mumei.

Life itself is already a burden.

Most of the money from before was used to buy the current Emiya residence.

Moreover, land is still very expensive.

Originally, Kiritsugu Emiya planned to "discuss" this matter with the local yakuza...

but...

"What kind of work?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked. His investigation into Kazuya Kurokawa dates back to before the Holy Grail War, so Kiritsugu had no idea what he was doing now.

"It's nothing. I've acquired an animation production company and am preparing to produce an animation. Do you want me to come and help?"

"...I don't know anything about this."
