I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"This time... Kirei, just summon Assassin as before, but this time don't need to specifically summon Hassan. Try to summon a powerful Servant."

"What does Tokiomi-kun mean?" Kotomine Risei asked.

"Whether we knew it before or not, once we get to Fuyuki City, we'll definitely find Fate/Zero on this land. Then we can use that to our advantage."

"What do you mean?" Kotomine Risatsu seemed to understand, but still asked again.

“Yes… If everyone thinks that Kirei and I have broken off our relationship, then Kirei Kotomine can’t just summon Hassan, otherwise it will be obvious at a glance. If it’s not like that, then there’s nothing wrong with it. As for my Heroic Spirit…” Tokiomi Tohsaka paused for a moment and said, “I’m planning to summon Caster.”

“Caster?” Kotomine Risei frowned. “But Caster has a significant disadvantage compared to other Servants, since most Heroic Spirits seem to have the ability of ‘magic resistance’.”

"That's right, that's generally the case, so I want to summon a powerful Caster-type Heroic Spirit, just in case... just in case... something goes wrong and it can help me dismantle the Greater Grail!"

......

"Aren't you going to summon King Arthur?" Irisviel asked Kiritsugu Emiya in surprise.

“That’s right…that Heroic Spirit is too difficult for me to control…I need a powerful Heroic Spirit that can understand me and is easier for me to control.”

"Who?"

Kiritsugu Emiya sighed, "That's right, it's possible to do without a relic... no, if I had to say, it would be like using myself as a relic..."

"You mean?"

"Yes, I'm preparing to summon that Heroic Spirit from the future... Heroic Spirit Emiya!"

"he?"

“Hmm…we share the same ideals, but he’s gone further. If it were him, he would understand this very well.” Kiritsugu Emiya said. In reality, he hadn’t yet figured out how to face this person who might become his adopted son after summoning him, but…he was certain of one thing: “If it were him, he would help us leave this Einzbern and fully understand the necessity of dismantling the Greater Grail!”

"Yes...that's right, then everything will be over, right?"

"Ah, that's right... it will all come to an end."

“Yes, but before that, I need to find someone,” Kiritsugu Emiya said to Irisviel.

"Who?"

"The person who drew 'Fate' in Morioh, Japan... Kazuya Kurokawa!"

However, just as Kiritsugu Emiya set his sights on Kazuya Kurokawa, the person being watched—

Kazuya Kurokawa is still redrawing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure—

"Hmm... that's done. Aja's redstone scenes have all been added. Now it's up to luck."

Kurokawa Kazuya put away the completed manga manuscript, planning to have the editor pick it up tomorrow...

The Stone Mask, how to transform a Stone Mask without grooves into one with them... He already has this technology, but just in case, there is still a notch.

Including Aja's redstone, that makes two.

Once these two are filled in, it will be time for him to become the ultimate life form.

Hmm... becoming an ultimate life form doesn't seem to make much sense, since over a year has passed and no one has come looking for me. There's absolutely no use for this ability. Some of the traps I set up in this fortress over a year ago have even been dismantled, and some I've forgotten, all due to the passage of time.

Well, I'll just keep it as a collectible. Even though it's not very useful, I still really want it.

Chapter 86 The Magician Killer's Assassination 6/11

"Here..." Kiritsugu Emiya said, standing on a not-too-tall building and looking around.

“Yes, Kurokawa Kazuya lives there now,” Hisayu Maiya said, pointing to a house not far away.

Kiritsugu Emiya looked over; three hundred meters ahead was Kurokawa Kazuya's room.

"The view from here is really bad."

"Yes, but this is already the best spot around. Any further and the sniping effectiveness will decrease."

"I know..."

"How's the investigation into Kurokawa Kazuya going?"

"Well, we didn't find any useful information. We just know that in addition to his real name, Kurokawa Kazuya, he also used the pen name 'Kuro' to serialize a manga called 'Battle Royale'."

"I see. I'll go back and take a look later." Kiritsugu Emiya said, lighting a cigarette.

“Not only that, he’s very rich,” Hisayu Maiya continued. “He owns a large number of properties in Tokyo, Morioh, Fuyuki, Kanbuko, Tatsumi-Taki, Kazamino, and many other places. In Tokyo alone, he owns 63 properties and 21 vacant plots. In Morioh, he owns 47 properties and a large JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure theme park, which opened a year ago as a comic convention and is currently under renovation and not yet finished. As for the properties... out of the 33 houses in front of us, all but six belong to him.”

“Very good, then let’s get rid of these six families that day, by hinting at it.”

“I understand. In addition, he also owns fifty-one properties, eight vacant plots of land, and a mountain in Guanbuzi City.”

"In addition, he recently acquired Ryudongsa Temple, which is now open to tourists as an exhibition area."

"..." Hisayuu Maiya's words stunned Kiritsugu Emiya... How much money would that cost? Are all manga artists this rich these days? "Where did he get the money?"

"That... is a gambling-related method. Although he made a lot of money drawing comics, it's just a drop in the ocean compared to his wealth. Last year, he went to casinos all over the world and made a lot of money."

"Is no one going to make a move against him?"

"Yes, that's true. But he donated a lot of cash to the local underworld, and it was all turned away. And all of this was done without anyone knowing. Or rather, he already owned a lot of real estate before, but he also owed the bank a lot of money, but he has paid it all off now."

"So it really is futurism." Kiritsugu Emiya exhaled a puff of smoke. "It seems he recently awakened his futurism and used his ability to avoid a bad future... and made a fortune from it."

"So, what if he finds out we're already here?"

"Who knows... but we still need to test the waters a bit. Let's come back tomorrow... We need to organize some intelligence today, and our equipment hasn't arrived yet. We need to be fully prepared to deal with him. After all, it's very likely that he has 'Rainbow' level futuristic vision, and our current understanding of futuristic vision is still far from sufficient."

.......

Swish swish swish swish —

Kazuya Kurokawa was constantly drawing the manuscript for his new manga, an original manga that had not yet been serialized.

However, while original comics allow for free modification of plot and settings, there are indeed limits. For example, the advanced knowledge within them is often useless in reality.

Only the lowest level can be used.

And the previous "Battle Royale" game, even after it ended, didn't have a giveaway at all. Not even a single one.

"Hmm... I've been feeling more and more monitored lately. Seriously... Has that guy not given up yet?" Kurokawa Kazuya could vaguely sense that someone was watching him, but he didn't know who it was or where they were.

However, it's easy to tell where the window of my studio faces.

It must be that girl named Shoji Ami!

Everyone else is almost ready to give up, what's this guy thinking? Why hasn't he given up yet?

next moment--

He fell backward—

boom--

The chair tipped over. Taking advantage of this moment, Kurokawa Kazuya scrambled to his feet and hid in the blind spot by the window, peering out furtively: "Is... someone sniping at me?"

That feeling just now...

That was a very familiar feeling, and there was no mistake, it was the feeling of a sniper rifle sniping at me!

Although I haven't entered that dream for a long time, it's like having already learned to ride a bicycle. Even if a year or two has passed without riding, I can still use it freely when I touch it again.

That's how I feel right now.

There's absolutely no mistake, someone is targeting him.

"Who... has it been because I've been making too much money lately and attracted someone's attention?"

He didn't expect it to be someone like Kiritsugu Emiya... because that was almost a year ago for him, and no one had come looking for him in a year. He had long since given up exploring the mysteries of this world.

More than a year has passed since the release of Fate/Zero, and there has been no further news. No one from the Tohsaka family has come to him, nor have any magicians. He can only answer himself with the statement, "Mystery doesn't exist in this world."

Even now, his first thought is whether he has offended anyone recently, and he hasn't even considered the possibility of a magician coming to his door.

......

"I see, so you dodged it."

Kiritsugu Emiya, hiding near the Kurokawa Kazuya residence, communicated with Maiya Hisayu via communicator. After receiving the information that "the sniper rifle had just been aimed at Kurokawa Kazuya when he disappeared," he nodded: "So it really is precognitive... He dodged it... But it doesn't seem completely so. The extent of his precognitive ability is still a mystery, but it's safe to say that he hasn't detected his presence yet."

"Maimi, since long-range sniping isn't working, slowly move closer and come support me!"

"Yes, I understand."

He had just used a "hint" magic trick to "invite" all six families in the vicinity, based on the information he had gathered earlier, out of the area. In other words... now, apart from Kurokawa and Mi—there's no one else around!

This is already the best battlefield—

boom--

Thinking this, he suddenly rushed to Kurokawa and the Mi family and kicked the door open.

Then I rushed in—

Let's subdue Kurokawa and Miyabi first. We can ask them any questions after we've captured them!

Chapter 87 The Battle Between Two 7/11

"You are...Emiya Kiritsugu—?"

Upon hearing the voice, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately pointed his gun at the source: "Kurokawa Kazuya..."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to take so long to arrive, Magician Killer... Emiya Kiritsugu..." Kurokawa Kazuya looked at him and suddenly felt a surge of interest. He probed, wanting to see if the person in front of him was truly Magician Killer, or... just an ordinary assassin who had recently come across his manga.

"What do you know?" Kiritsugu Emiya said, pointing his gun at Kazuya Kurokawa. He didn't know how this person could stand up to him so brazenly, but nothing could shake his confidence!

"..." Kurokawa Kazuya didn't answer immediately, but narrowed his eyes: "Could it be...could it really exist? More than a year has passed...could it really be there? Impossible...but...I have to witness it with my own eyes...I have to see the mystery with my own eyes to confirm this world—!"

Kurokawa Kazuya silently thought to himself as he raised his head to look at Emiya Kiritsugu: "Emiya Kiritsugu—if you're here, then stay! Let me see what abilities you, the Magus Killer, really have?"

"—!"

In an instant, sensing something was wrong, Kiritsugu Emiya dodged to the side and pulled the trigger—

Bang bang bang bang bang————

A barrier to repel people had been set up around the area, and this whole neighborhood belonged to him—Kurokawa Kazuya. The few other people living there had already been summoned away by his suggestive magic. Now, he could go and fight without worry.
