"Nine hours? Given your abilities, it's impossible that you haven't taken any action yet. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked, puzzled.

“Yes.” Hisayu Maiya paused for a moment to gather her thoughts, her mind still a mess from the events of the day: “Um… after I came to Fuyuki City, I participated in an event called the ‘Comic Con’… supposedly a three-day event that started yesterday and ends tomorrow.”

"Wait a minute—" Kiritsugu Emiya said as he walked to the room at the end of the corridor, picked up a pen and paper, placed them on the table, wrote the words "[Comic Con]" on them, and said, "Alright, tell me the details."

“Yes, then I’ll continue.” Hisayu Maiya gathered her thoughts and continued, “A comic convention is simply an exhibition of manga. It’s been around for a while now, but it was popularized last year by a JOJO-themed convention held in Morioh, which lasted seven days…”

"Wait a minute, you said JOJO? 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'?"

"Yes...that's how it is. What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, you can continue." As he spoke, Kiritsugu Emiya remembered the person he had met in London in the past. After doing some research, he realized that the person was the author of the manga called "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure".

"Yes, this anime convention held in Fuyuki City is a Fate-themed convention, and Fate mainly tells the story of the Holy Grail War."

"Hmm—" Kiritsugu Emiya suppressed his urge to interrupt and wrote the words "Holy Grail War" on it.

"The main one is the Fourth Holy Grail War, and the Masters participating include... Emiya Kiritsugu!"

"Maiya! Come back quickly! We'll meet in Germany." Kiritsugu Emiya understood; something extraordinary might have happened in Fuyuki City, and it was necessary to investigate thoroughly!

"Yes... However, before that, there is one thing I hope you can investigate in Einzbern."

"what?"

"During the Third Holy Grail War, did the Einzbern summon an A/venger-class Heroic Spirit named Angra Mainyu? If so, the Holy Grail... may have lost its ability to grant wishes."

"I understand, I'll investigate." Suppressing a palpable sense of urgency in his heart, even more intense than when he used his Time Control, Kiritsugu Emiya forced himself to remain calm: "What's the name of that manga artist who drew *Fate*?"

"Yes... the manga artist's name is Kurokawa Kazuya... it's possible that it's a pseudonym."

"I understand. You can come back now, but you need to buy back all the books that involve Kurokawa and Miya... We'll talk about the investigation later."

"Understood. I'll head back tomorrow. All the books related to Kurokawa and Mi... I've already bought them all." Hisayu Maimi said, looking at the mountain of books piled up on the bed in the hotel she had booked.

It contains every issue of JUMC from when Kazuya Kurokawa started serializing it to the present, as well as all of his collected volumes...

Everything is inside—!

This is her true initiative; she doesn't need Kiritsugu Emiya to give orders for everything, and she has her own judgment.

......

"Boom boom boom——"

“Um, Professor Archibald, I am Weber, Weber Velvet…”

“Come in.” Kenneth’s distinctive voice came from the other side of the door.

“Yes…” Weber Velvet slowly pushed open the door, his voice trembling slightly.

"Come here, Weber." Kenneth felt a sense of pleasure at seeing the future monarch trembling in his presence, which calmed his anger considerably.

Regardless of his future, he is now my disciple and will tremble in fear under my tutelage.

"What does Teacher Archibald want with me?"

Kenneth tried to keep his tone calm as he said, "I heard you're preparing some kind of paper?"

"Huh?" Weber was taken aback. He had prepared this matter secretly without telling anyone why Professor Kenneth knew about it.

"I'm asking you if you are or aren't!" Kenneth suddenly raised his voice.

Startled, Weber immediately replied, "Yes!"

“Hmm, very good.” Kenneth’s hand, which was resting on the table, trembled slightly as he said, “Tell me the name of your paper.”

"Um... this isn't ready yet."

"Really? Then think about it right here. What title are you going to give this paper?"

“Um… if I had to guess now…” Waver paused for a moment, then, combining his thoughts, said, “Well, I think it should be called ‘Inquiring into the Magical Path of the New World’… right?”

Same! Exactly the same!

Kenneth took one last look to confirm, and sure enough, it was this one!

"Ah... I see, then that could be considered evidence, alright..."

Kenneth Webber, who seemed to be acting out of nowhere, was completely baffled.

"Weber Velvet!"

"Yes!"

“Take a look at this—” Kenneth said, tossing the book he was holding toward Weber.

"Huh? What's this?"

"Hmph, take a look at those things confiscated from Bobby. Perhaps you'll gain a completely new understanding, provided, of course, that what's on them actually happens in the [future]... But I guess you hope so too, don't you?"

Chapter 83 Movements 3/11

“Yes!” Weber said, puzzled.

“Watch from here,” Kenneth said, watching Webber as he was about to leave.

"Ugh?"

“I said, look here,” Kenneth said to Webber. “Let me see your expression after you know you’ve done this in the future!”

"My future self..." Weber muttered to himself. What kind of experiment did the Clock Tower conduct? Did it allow him to see the future... and then discover that he had done something terrible in the future?

Ah... if that's really the case, then my future self, please... I hope you don't cause too much trouble!

Weber didn't doubt that this wasn't some future event... In this world filled with magic, he wouldn't be surprised by anything that happened. So... with the idea of ​​seeing the future in his mind, he opened the book in his hands.

......

It is certain that during the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern summoned a Heroic Spirit named "Angola Mainyu".

And indeed, they left the stage quite early.

Kiritsugu Emiya inquired about this with Yubstakuhaid, the head of the Einzbern family, citing the need to investigate past Holy Grail Wars in order to ensure victory in the battle.

Indeed, during the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern summoned the Heroic Spirit of unknown class, "Angola Mainyu." This Heroic Spirit turned out to be surprisingly weak and quickly disappeared from the battlefield.

However, Maiya asked her to inquire about the reason for this matter.

"Daddy, are you going to work?" Ilya ran over and asked.

"Ah...that's right." Kiritsugu Emiya smiled, opened his arms and picked up his daughter who had run over. He looked at Irisviel, who was standing not far away, and said, "I received information about the Holy Grail War. I need to go and get it. I should be back before tomorrow."

"The intelligence...isn't it sent over the same way as usual?" Irisviel asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Ah, that’s right.” Kiritsugu Emiya nodded. “This time there’s a lot of stuff; it’s not just something that can be sent over easily.”

Kiritsugu Emiya looked at his daughter and said, "Illya, is there anything you want? Daddy will bring it back for you."

......

Waver's feelings were quite complex as he looked at Fate/Zero. He wondered why he was able to participate in such a battle.

Looking at how those people were scheming against each other at the beginning.

Won't I run myself over?

Then... I saw Kenneth get hit by the Source Bomb... I watched Kenneth get cheated on... I watched Kenneth die...

His heart started beating several times faster—

He would occasionally look up to see Kenneth's expression.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" With Kenneth's abilities and power, crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant, simple and effortless, without any consequences. Now he was thinking about how to escape.

No... there's no way they can escape.

As he watched the comic unfold, he felt like he was about to faint. Only when Iskandar, the Conqueror, appeared in the comic did he feel a different, reassuring sense of security.

'Ah...that guy really has a powerful influence on both me in the manga and me in real life. Calm down...Wave.' Waver gradually calmed down, watching Iskandar in the manga walk towards defeat, watching the Holy Grail War come to an end.

Kenneth just stood there watching, saying nothing, just observing: 'Does this guy... really have the qualifications?'

Kenneth's current strategy remains the same as before: to win this Holy Grail War. However... this time he will be more cautious and will not bring his fiancée along. It's simply too dangerous with her.

But... if possible, it wouldn't be bad to try bringing Webber along.

If he really has the qualifications.

If I can survive that Holy Grail War, then I'll acknowledge him, acknowledge that he has the ability in the future, acknowledge that he can reach that height, a height that I haven't even reached yet.

but--

If he had died in the Holy Grail War...

Humph.

That just means he's nothing special.

Kenneth glanced at the "Fate/Zero Epilogue" next to him. If it weren't for that, he probably would have already taken care of Waver.

The weak do not deserve pity!

"Weber...it seems you've already finished reading it. So, what are your thoughts?"

"Yes...that...if this really is the future...I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"That's not what I want to hear!" Kenneth roared. "I want to hear your opinion on the Holy Grail War—"

"Huh?" Waver was taken aback. This... didn't intend to kill him, but instead wanted to ask him about his thoughts on the Holy Grail War?

"That thing you have... it should be everywhere now. Anyone can get it for a little money, whether it's a magician or an ordinary person... So, Webber, what do you think of this situation?"

......

"So many?" Kiritsugu Emiya said, looking at the mountain of comic books.

“No, that’s not the case.” Hisayu Maiya shook her head. “Most of them are from a manga magazine called JUMC, and Kurokawa Kazuya’s manga is only a part of it. The main content is in these [collected volumes]…”

"A single volume... huh..." Kiritsugu Emiya sighed. "Alright, I'll take a quick look at it today. Which Fate are you talking about?"

"This is."

Kiritsugu Emiya took it and glanced at it. His pupils contracted slightly. Sure enough, some of the people on it looked very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before...
