The reason he initially went to see Caster was because...

Because Caster is no match for him at all.

Cater's magic was completely useless against Saber, and his own magic resistance was something he obtained from Saber after Fate/stay night ended; it was an A-rank item.

In other words, Caster's magic is completely useless against me; I can knock her down in one go, just like Rin Tohsaka, as long as I get close.

Even if you're trying to keep a promise you made, you can't let your guard down.

However... I never expected that a collision would occur here.

"Anti-magic? You're kidding—is that something humans can possess?" Rin Tohsaka said incredulously, "Ah, I know, this must be some kind of Mystic Code specifically designed to defend against this kind of magic, right?"

"No, without a doubt, that's magic resistance!" Saber shook her head firmly and said, "Moreover, it's high-level magic resistance. Who exactly are you?!"

"Didn't I already say? I'm just a passerby. If I had to say... my name is Kurokawa Kazuya, and I'm a manga artist."

"Ugh?"

“Well…” Kurokawa Kazuya said with a smile, “Would you like to see my work? It’s quite interesting.”

Before Rin Tohsaka could say anything more, Shirou Emiya stepped between them, spreading his arms to block them: "Well, they don't seem like enemies. How about we discuss this?"

“That’s right, and besides,” Kurokawa Kazuya said, patting Emiya Shirou on the shoulder with a smile, “if you wanted to make a move, I already did just now.”

"That's right, that's right, so... huh?" As he spoke, Shirou Emiya suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his back; he always acted faster than he thought.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been that foolish act of shielding Saber from a knife.

Using Command Seals would have been safer...

However, his physical movements were even faster than those.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding." Kurokawa Kazuya chuckled. "Someone as innocent as you is so interesting, I can't help but tease you. You'd be even more likable if you were a girl."

"Huh?" Shirou Emiya turned around, his face darkening.

"Pervert." Ryougi Shiki sheathed her dagger and kicked Kurokawa Kazuya's leg.

"Uh... I'm so sorry." Kurokawa Kazuya quickly turned around and apologized to Ryougi Shiki, saying, "I'm sorry, it was my fault."

"Hmph, I thought I'd get to see the Servant's battle, but it was already over when I got here... and I almost got attacked too. Can't you be a little more organized?"

"Hmm, no." Kurokawa Kazuya shook his head: "Improvisation is fine in situations like this."

He then looked at the others and said, "Well, is that enough? There's still a lot to do, we can't let it all go to waste on us, can we? Besides... I have something to tell you all."

......

the other side.

Ryudong Temple.

Caster Medea, who had quickly finished reading the manga using magic tricks, clutched her chest, her face pale: "Lord Souichirou... if what's in here is real... how could this happen?"

As she spoke, she put down the HF storyline comic in her hand and looked at the last one.

"How do I use this...?"

Looking at her, he couldn't help but smile wryly: "Oh well... it'll probably be those awful things again, right? That... awful future."

"What's wrong, Caster?" Just then, the door opened, and a stern-looking man with glasses walked out, saying, "Did you call me for something?"

"Sigh...I..." Caster's heart skipped a beat...the enemy was too strong.

It seems that neither of them can be defeated by her and Assassin in their current state.

There are too many people cheating!

In other words...

It seems the ending is already decided... my fate and Souichirou Kuzuki's fate.

In that case... let's just enjoy the present moment.

"No...that..."

"Hmm?" Souichirou Kuzuki looked at the disc next to Caster and said, "Don't know how to use it? I remember there's a playback device at Ryudouji Temple. Do you need any help?"

“Yes… um, please.” Caster nodded: ‘This, it’s one of those, the kind with a tragic ending, in that case… it wouldn’t be bad to spend it with Lord Souichirou… maybe Lord Souichirou can find a way.’

......

"So, Emiya-kun, you don't understand anything, do you?" Rin Tohsaka said, taking a sip of tea. "Let me tell you about your current situation."

"and many more."

"What is it now?" Rin Tohsaka asked, looking at Kazuya Kurokawa who was standing to the side.

"No, it's nothing. I just feel that it would be better for him to see it for himself rather than having you tell him," Kurokawa Kazuya said, glancing at Ryougi Shiki beside him. "Shiki, how about we go back and get something?"

"You go back alone." Ryougi Shiki said, glancing at Kurokawa Kazuya, who had stiffened slightly. "What? Are you worried about me getting into danger...? It's alright, didn't you give me this?"

Ryougi Shiki said, taking out a dagger and smiling, "I will protect myself, don't worry."

“…Alright.” Kurokawa Kazuya sighed. “Shiki, help me.”

next moment.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the others, Ryougi Shiki placed her hand on Kurokawa Kazuya, and the next moment—the enormous person—vanished!

"You're kidding me, right?" Rin Tohsaka stood up abruptly. "What is this? Is it some kind of special magic?"

"No, it's not magic."

In just a short while, half of Kurokawa Kazuya's body emerged from the floor, holding something in his hand, and then... the floor became like the surface of water.

Emiya Shirou and the others watched as he slowly emerged from under the floor.

"What...what's going on?!"

"Don't worry about such trivial matters," Kurokawa Kazuya said with a smile. "I brought over some manga, manga related to the Holy Grail War, would you like to take a look? That way... you can understand the Holy Grail War better, right? And you might even learn some secrets, like the Fourth Holy Grail War..."

Rin Tohsaka's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

"For example, the truth about the Fuyuki City fire."

"The truth?" Shirou Emiya was stunned.

"For example, the truth about the Holy Grail."

"The Holy Grail..." Saber gritted her teeth.

"That's right, so... look, everything is in these."

Chapter 316 The So-Called Holy Grail War

[The Holy Grail Grand Prix! In—Eastwood!]

Medea slowly sipped her tea, her expression calm as she watched the animation "Carnival Phantasm" unfold before her...

It's completely different from what I originally thought; this is totally a work of madness.

[It's finally here! The Fifth Holy Grail War—we've set up a special track outside Fuyuki City to broadcast this sonic battle on the ground! The commentator is this—]

【Kirei Kotomine, nice to meet you】

[Live broadcast brought to you by Fuyuki Tiger, Fujimura Taiga—go!]

"Hoo..." After taking a sip of tea, Souichirou Kuzuki looked at the television and said, "Is this what the Holy Grail War is all about?"

"No, no, no! That's not right, not at all! Something must be wrong, it's completely different! The real Holy Grail War is far more brutal than this... That's right! This is the Holy Grail War!"

Medea, slightly out of breath, picked up a comic book from the side and said, "It would be terrible if Souichirou got killed because he saw this. We must be vigilant! Vigilant! Extremely vigilant!"

Only in this way can one survive; only by surviving... is it possible to achieve such an ending!

......

"Hey, they're all reading comics, what are we doing?" Ryougi Shiki said, looking at the three people next to her who were cutting out comics one by one. "I've read all of those."

"Hmm...should we watch it again?" Kurokawa Kazuya said after thinking for a moment.

“…Let’s watch JOJO instead.” Ryougi Shiki said, pointing to the disc.

"Okay, I'll get it for you."

With that, Kurokawa Kazuya disappeared once again.

"Seriously, what is this guy? He appears and disappears like a ghost." Rin Tohsaka sighed, somewhat annoyed.

A short while later, Kurokawa Kazuya returned: "Um, Emiya, excuse me for borrowing your TV."

"Ah, whatever."

Emiya Shirou spoke casually without even raising his head, which was unusual for him.

Holy Grail War...

And...it seems like I'm the protagonist of this comic.

Seriously, what is this?!

[Y-YES! Finally pulled up! The treasure chest that sank a hundred years ago!]

【Good, time to pull the net in, be careful!】

Rin Tohsaka's eyelids twitched slightly as she tried to focus her attention on the manga, but...

The sound of a television came from nearby.

The sound of chewing potato chips.

The sound of casual conversation...

"Ugh! Seriously! Can't you guys be quiet for a second?!" She stood up and said to Shirou Emiya, "Emiya-kun! Do you have a quiet room in your house?"

"Huh? Ah...yes."

Emiya Shirou nodded.

"take me!"

“Okay…” Shirou Emiya nodded. “Um… isn’t Saber going?”
