I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

“Wave…” Kenneth looked up and sighed, “It seems we’ve lost the Holy Grail War this time.”

"Huh? What..." Weber was stunned. What... is going on?

“Look at this,” Kenneth said, pulling out a plate divided into seven equal pieces, but only one piece lit up. That was Assassin's piece!

"Damn it, Kiritsugu Emiya, he really didn't bring the Holy Grail here. I heard before that he betrayed the Einzbern. Now it seems that he didn't even have the idea of ​​bringing the Holy Grail to Fuyuki City."

Weber seemed to understand something and said, "Could it be... this is?"

"Yes, this was given to me by the Clock Tower as a temporary storage for Heroic Spirits... If this lights up, it means the Holy Grail Vessel hasn't worked. How can we hold the Holy Grail War like this? We don't even have the Holy Grail anymore!" Kenneth said, somewhat exasperated. "Without the Holy Grail, we can't even monitor its status. Let alone the final outcome!"

“Um…” Weber extended his hand and placed the document he had been holding in front of Kenneth, saying, “The association just sent word that Einzbern can provide their technical services.”

"Huh? What did you say?"

Chapter 123 Einzbern

Einzbern—

“The Clock Tower has accepted Einzbern’s proposal. Let’s confirm it one more time…” said Mavis Clara, a silver-haired girl who didn’t seem out of place even in an environment like Einzbern, adjusting her glasses as she spoke.

“Hmm.” Yubstakuhaid, the head of the Einzbern family, nodded. “The Einzbern family will participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War… no, it should be called the First New Holy Grail War, led by the Clock Tower. During this process, the Einzbern family will provide the Lesser Grail and related technologies. Then… the Holy Grail after the Fifth Holy Grail War will be used to sustain the Great Source of Magic. As compensation to the Einzbern family, the Sixth Holy Grail War will allow the victor of the Einzbern family to wield the functions of the Holy Grail.”

“There are no mistakes.” Mavis Clara looked at the document in her hand, checked it several times, and nodded. “Then, as a token of Einzbern’s sincerity.”

“That’s right. Next, I will send the Holy Grail candidates from Einzbern to Fuyuki City... The Clock Tower also needs to rely on this Holy Grail War to determine its feasibility.” Yubustakuhaid said, looking at the girl in front of him. He showed no sign of slackness in front of her.

Or rather, anyone who knows the identity of the person in front of them would not underestimate her.

They might feel disgusted, or they might look at her strangely. But they would never look down on her.

Mavis Clara comes from the Law and Politics Department of the Clock Tower. This thirteenth department, independent of the twelve academies, teaches students not mysticism but various forms of power politics. Although it is not a required subject, the head of every magic family and the monarch of the Clock Tower usually studies in the Law and Politics Department for a period of time.

Furthermore... when necessary, the Department of Justice will exercise powers similar to those of a court in modern society.

Many decisions, such as the right to inherit a magician's estate, are made by them.

......

"I see. So, the Einzbern homunculi are already on their way?" Kenneth nodded, looking at the document. "However, it will still be several years before a fully functional Lesser Grail is made. What arrived this time were merely defective products rejected by Einzbern. They don't even possess the basic functions of movement; one could only say they're mediocre as a Holy Grail..."

Kenneth paused for a moment before saying, "Alright, then let's hold back until the new Holy Grail arrives... Otherwise, this disc is already pretty much set at one Heroic Spirit, two is about the limit, and if three appear... it's not impossible for it to just explode."

"I see, I see. Well then, shall we go for a stroll now?" the Conqueror King said as he approached.

"Rider...you're not thinking of going to some comic convention again, are you?" Waver said, his lips twitching. "That comic convention is over. The next one won't be for at least a year!"

"What? It's already over?" Iskandar said, dissatisfied.

"Didn't I already tell you when you went that it was the last day, the very last day!" Weber said weakly.

"Alright, if you want to play, go outside and play. Don't make a scene in this magic workshop!" Kenneth said to the two of them with displeasure.

"Haha, that's right. It's okay even if the anime convention is over. Come on, kid, come with me to explore Fuyuki City. I'm really curious about some places."

"You're curious about...where?" Weber said, as if he had just thought of something.

Iskandar crossed his arms and said, "For example, the bridge in Fuyuki City, Ryudou Temple, the Shinminkaikan, and places like that. But... we've already been to Ryudou Temple. Hmm, let's go somewhere else this time, hahaha—"

......

"Phew, finally finished." Kurokawa Kazuya tidied up the original drawing, finally capturing all the inspiration he had gathered during the battles.

What a wonderful experience.

This is much more interesting than the experience in my dreams.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed since the Holy Grail War began. Almost all the Heroic Spirits have been revealed.

So far, the only one that Kurokawa Kazuya hasn't seen is Archer.

After packing his things and placing the manuscript in a relatively safe place, Kurokawa Kazuya left.

I won't be staying here anymore. It would be terrible if a fight broke out and the manuscript got caught in the crossfire...

After saving the manuscript using alchemy, Kurokawa Kazuya went outside and let out a soft sigh as he watched the setting sun. "Last night was really quiet...no fighting at all. But it'll probably start today. Assassin's taken care of. Next, I'll go find Archer and Berserker...maybe a good fight with those two will be a good experience."

If I can fight Archer and Berserker again, I will have successfully completed all my goals in coming to Fuyuki City.

Berserker had seen it before, but he didn't have enough Command Seals at the time, so he didn't use them. But now it's different; he now has eight Command Seals.

Even summoning a heroic spirit capable of breaking his twelve trials is not an impossible task.

Fuyuki City.

Even on this night of the Holy Grail War, the place was still packed with people.

Or rather, in Fuyuki City, a group of people appeared at some point, resting during the day and active at night.

For example, people who specifically wait until night to take photos at places like Fuyuki Bridge and Ryudong Temple.

After all, the Holy Grail War takes place at night.

These places have a better atmosphere at night than during the day.

"Hello, this is the Fuyuki City Police Department. How can I help you?" the police officer at the Fuyuki City Police Department said after receiving the emergency call.

"Yes, that...that, Fuyuki Bridge!" Upon hearing this half-finished sentence, the police officer seemed to understand something and sighed slightly in his heart.

"The Conqueror King has appeared on the Fuyuki Bridge!"

"..." The policeman's lips twitched slightly: "Yes, yes, I understand, we'll be there right away."

As he hung up the phone, he said to his colleague, "Fuyuki Bridge! More tourists have climbed up it!"

"Here we go again." A chorus of groans erupted from the police station.

"Ah, and this time it seems to be a cosplayer, cosplaying as the King of Conquerors," the police officer who answered the phone said. As a police officer in Fuyuki City, how could he not know about *Fate*? After all... the guy who almost fell off the Fuyuki Bridge, the guy who broke into Ryudou Temple at night and got lost in the forest behind it...

Such incidents are already commonplace...

Chapter 124 A Chaotic Night

"Hey, Rider, why did you have to come up here?!" Waver said, his legs trembling as he lay on the bridge in Fuyuki City.

"That's easy! Because the people are eagerly awaiting the King's arrival! Haha—" The Conqueror King said, looking at a group of people in the distance taking pictures with all sorts of equipment, "Look! Then let the King's glory shine into your own eyes!"

Weber sighed inwardly. Really...

What's going on...? This Conqueror King is a little different from the one in the comics. Although he seems similar in everyday situations, he... hasn't really shown his domineering presence much.

However, he also knew that there was no one to show it to.

Iskandar the Conqueror has yet to fight a battle that truly demands his utmost effort.

Moreover, there were no comparisons with other kings like in that comic.

This is perfectly normal.

After all, in this Holy Grail War, if there is any king besides Iskandar, then it is only Attila.

But... even Attila wasn't just a simple king.

She's destructive.

"Hey, Rider, who did you buy this outfit for?" Webber asked Iskandar, still trembling. The two had just stopped by a clothing store while strolling around and bought two outfits.

"Haha, who else could it be? Of course, it's for that little Saber girl." The King of Conquerors laughed. "Although I don't know what's wrong with her, I can guess a little. She finally gets to be born, and fighting probably isn't her wish at all. Let her wander around Fuyuki City and relax. That should be her wish, the thing she should be doing!"

"Rider? What did you figure out?"

"Hmm...more or less." Iskandar nodded. "I have nothing to say to her, it's pointless anyway...Let her be free, unconstrained by the Holy Grail War. That's her wish, isn't it..."

As he spoke, the burly man looked into the distance and said, "That way, she'll be able to be more certain about what her wish really is, right? That little girl who refuses to admit it."

......

"Where am I..." Kirei Kotomine opened his eyes and looked around. "A church...?"

As he spoke, he slowly sat up, trying to recall what had happened. He remembered that he had been sealed away by the person Caster had summoned, and it was this seal that had caused him to lose consciousness.

"Kirei, you've finally woken up." Seeing his child awake, Kotomine Risei, who had just entered the room, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, according to the description in the manga "Fate/Zero," Kirei Kotomine's personality can be described as extremely twisted. However... this is in the eyes of ordinary people.

In fact, Kirei Kotomine's personality is not uncommon among magicians.

The awkward thing is that he wasn't a magician, but a priest from a church.

If he were affiliated with any other church organization, this would already be considered blasphemy. But... the agent is slightly different.

Moreover, Kirei Kotomine is the son of Risei Kotomine.

This father believed in his son no matter what happened.

So... he secretly brought the unconscious Kirei Kotomine back to the church.

"How long...how long have I been unconscious?" Kirei Kotomine asked hurriedly, realizing the situation.

"It's been more than a day." Kotomine Rissatsu opened his mouth, but didn't say anything else, but... Kotomine Kirei had already found out.

"I can't feel... magic."

Kotomine Risei shook his head helplessly: "The magic circuits in your body have been sealed, and you will not be able to use magic for the next few years."

"Several years?" Kirei Kotomine was slightly taken aback.

"Yes... I had Tokiomi-kun take a look at that sealing technique. It's a sophisticated technique that even he doesn't understand, but it seems there's something wrong with it. The magic that should have been sealed forever has become like this, and it will be able to be released in a few years. So don't worry..."

"Yes, I understand." Kirei Kotomine nodded.

"By the way, it's been a day, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"Then, thank you for your trouble, Father. If it's alright, I'd like to have some Mapo Tofu."

"I understand... I'll go prepare it for you right away." Kotomine Ryougi sighed and walked out.

Kirei Kotomine lifted his shirt, looking at the curse marks on his stomach and touching them with his hand: "A seal... huh. Can it seal my magic for 'several years'? Several years... several years... the Holy Grail War... that would be enough."
