People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

She raised her head and looked at Scathach in front of her in surprise, feeling that she was more and more unfathomable.

"..."

Similarly, Artoria could only remain silent in the face of this fact. No matter what, she had a big problem agreeing to accompany Irisviel to wander the streets during this period, and even having her secret discovered by others.

Or was it because she was too soft-hearted? Thinking that Irisviel had stayed in the castle for too long, it wouldn't hurt to go out for a stroll with her now. After all, it was still daytime and with her by her side, there was no need to worry about encountering any enemies, so she took the risk and went out shopping with her...

I didn't expect to encounter the enemy so soon.

"White hair, red eyes... and that strange magical aura. She's from the Einzbern family, right? Are you her Master?"

Compared to Scathach, who knows little about the Einzbern family, Aozaki Touko is much more professional.

She put her glasses back on and looked at Irisviel curiously several times.

"You are... injured... No, it's Aozaki Touko?!"

After hearing what Aozaki Touko said, Irisviel, who had been concentrating on Scathach and had not had time to pay attention to her surroundings, began to carefully look at the other person's true appearance.

Red hair, strong aura, especially when she saw the familiar face that was very similar to the one in the photo, she remembered the person who appeared in the photo.

Not long ago, Aozaki Touko single-handedly led many familiars to attack the Einzbern family and took away important information and dangerous familiars.

"Injury... Never mind. It's me. Are you the Master of the Einzbern family?"

Hearing Irisviel about to blurt out the nickname that disgusted her, Aozaki Touko couldn't help but frown, and then habitually prepared to take action to teach this guy a lesson, but when she thought of the unknown blond heroic spirit next to her, she gave up the idea.

She was not Scathach's master, and instead she was trying to please Scathach and seek her guidance. So if a fight broke out, Aozaki Touko couldn't guarantee whether Scathach would help, so she had to give up.

However, what concerned her more than the present was...Where was Emiya Kiritsugu? Why hadn't the assassin magus who she had taught a lesson to not long ago appeared?

Luo Wei said that the contestant from the Einzbern family should be the righteous partner, so what is this white-haired android in front of him?

Aozaki Touko glanced at the back of her hand and found that she was wearing gloves, so she made some guesses.

Is it a bait? Probably. If that's the case, then Emiya Kiritsugu should be hiding in the dark, waiting to ambush someone...

"...Yes, isn't it?"

Although Irisviel was surprised that she could actually meet a dangerous person like Aozaki Touko here, when she thought about the news that the other party had broken into the Einzbern family and took away most of the Holy Grail War materials not long ago, she guessed what was going on.

Kiritsugu's guess turned out to be correct. Aozaki Touko, the dangerous Grand Puppeteer, is indeed participating in this Holy Grail War!

She deliberately looked at the back of Aozaki Touko's hand, to which Aozaki Touko just smiled mockingly and shook her gloved hand at her.

"...What are you looking at over there, Miss Android?"

Irisviel: “…”

"This woman is so annoying!"

However, compared to the two magicians who were battling each other over there, Scathach was much calmer.

"Well... come to think of it, you're quite lucky. Although it's obvious that he was born very recently and his personality seems naive. However, a lovely Master like this is at least much better than some annoying fellow."

Scathach smiled slightly, then spoke to Artoria.

In response to this, Artoria did not answer her words, but raised her head, letting her tall golden hair flutter gently in the breeze, with a meticulous expression. Although she looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, her heroic temperament was quite good.

"Hmph... You needn't elaborate, unnamed Heroic Spirit. Since we were each summoned by a different magus and gathered in the same Holy Grail War, we are enemies. To obtain the Holy Grail, I will defeat you!"

Artoria had no intention of having a good relationship with Scathach, especially after noticing Irisviel's uneasiness behind her, she wanted to get away immediately.

"Oh? You seem to be very eager for the Holy Grail... and very eager to fight?"

"So what?!"

"Nothing, I just wanted to say that I actually prefer warriors like you to those cowards."

Scathach twirled her fingers, spinning the designer handbag she had just purchased, giving the illusion of spinning a weapon. She licked her lips and looked at Artoria with a look that was filled with a variety of emotions.

This feeling, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake, made Artoria feel very uneasy, and she was about to say something else.

"Forget it, it's getting late, and we won't get any interesting information by continuing the conversation, so I won't accompany you... Just enjoy the modern food. A full stomach will give you enough energy for a fight, dear Miss Saber."

Scathach smiled indifferently, then stopped spinning the bag on her fingertips, turned around and walked into the crowd while pulling Aozaki Touko.

The words he left behind echoed in the ears of Artoria and Irisviel until they finally disappeared completely.

"So... are these other Servants?"

Seeing Scathach disappear completely, Irisviel covered her chest and said with lingering fear.

She hadn't expected that she would encounter such a terrifying servant just after arriving in Fuyuki City and before she could do anything. Not only was her gender the same as Saber, but the terrifying magic she exuded made her even more terrified.

Although she believed in Saber's strength, she couldn't help but feel uneasy when facing that female Heroic Spirit...

Not only that, even that dangerous woman Aozaki Touko appeared here, and it seemed that she was a partner with the Servant just now...

After all, we are so close.

Thinking of Emiya Kiritsugu's warning, Irisviel immediately took out her cell phone and sent this important message to Emiya Kiritsugu who was debugging equipment in Fuyuki City.

Then, she spoke to Altria beside her, "Saber, did you figure out her class? She actually recognized your class in such a short time of contact..."

"Well... through our recent contact, I can be sure that he must also be an extremely powerful warrior. That battle-hardened aura cannot be faked."

"As she twirled her handbag between her fingers, I even vaguely saw the shadow of a spear spinning. She must be... Lancer! There's no doubt about it. From her movements and aura, she's definitely a seasoned gunslinger."

Altria thought for a moment, then gave her answer with a serious expression.

"Lancer... I understand."

Irisviel beside her also nodded slightly, and then hurriedly sent this important information to Kiritsugu Emiya via mobile phone.

[——We met a female Lancer with purple hair, and her master is Aozaki Touko. ]

But what they didn't know was that the information Saber saw was just the appearance that Scathach had revealed on her own initiative.

Chapter 1 Taking the Initiative (4/)

Location: Underground parking lot near Fuyuki City Gymnasium.

"Master, I'm back."

The purple-haired beauty swaggered in, carrying a slew of newly purchased, expensive clothing bags, and returned to this seemingly shabby base. She then casually picked up the beer that Aozaki Touko had bought a few days ago from the table and downed it in one gulp. Then, she leaned back in her chair and looked at the young man who was conscientiously studying a book nearby.

"Lancer... no, I should call her Queen Scathach. Are you back so soon? I thought you and Orange would be out for a few days before you remembered there was a Master like me here."

Rowe slowly closed the book in his hand, then glanced at the surrounding area and began to check the results of the magic ritual he had carefully completed. Only after he finished the inspection did he look at Scathach who had just returned and said calmly.

Any other magician master would have been furious at Scathach's outrageous behavior of running around during the Holy Grail War, even though her class was Caster, and refusing to stay in the workshop to help set up the battlefield.

However, Rowe was different. He did not have the arrogant personality of a magician, nor did he have the condescending attitude of his teacher and Tohsaka Tokiomi. He also did not think that with his current status and strength, he was qualified to command an extraordinary hero like Scathach, so he did not intend to let Scathach obey his orders completely.

And he was not completely ignorant of Scathach's character.

With some memories from the past, he has a pretty good understanding of most of the more famous heroes.

As a warrior, Scathach is incredibly proud and unwilling to appease anyone, a natural born member of the ruling class. Possessing a regal demeanor, she understands her role as queen, bringing happiness to her people and ruling over all things.

And no matter from which aspect, Scathach is definitely a very powerful and suitable hero. As the shadow queen with magical wisdom in Celtic mythology, she is much stronger than the originally planned Caster Cu Chulainn.

Although the class that appeared this time was not the most suitable Lancer, but Caster, this was not a problem for the Queen of Shadow Country who mastered all the original runes.

By simply using runes to slightly adjust her spiritual base and this fabricated body, she could simultaneously possess both the Caster and Lancer classes. Even though the modified form might not be as powerful as the original Lancer's in its original form, it was more than enough for her.

She also provided help and advice to Luo Wei on the difficult problems he had to overcome.

The reason why the magic workshop was chosen to be located underground near the gymnasium is because it is closest to the place where the Holy Grail descends. By influencing the earth veins here, the circulating magic power can be used to directly attack the Holy Grail, which can gain a great advantage.

However, if he just wanted to win the Holy Grail War, Rowe would not have summoned Caster.

What he wanted was the real Holy Grail, the uncontaminated Holy Grail. And now that he knew that the Einzbern family, who loved to stir up trouble, had summoned the Avenger, Angora Newman, in the Third Holy Grail War, he had his own plans.

Summon a magician from the Age of Gods, have him preside over a purification ceremony with him, and obtain the true Holy Grail after winning the Holy Grail War.

Although Scathach's appearance was beyond Rowe's expectations, and her personality was not suitable for Caster, who was fighting positional warfare, none of this mattered.

Scathach is undoubtedly a person of great talent and insight. She was the one who understood from the outset that she was different from ordinary people. She possesses a keen eye for discerning the qualities and temperament of others (especially distinguishing whether they are mortal or not). She can discern a person's talent and potential.

Even Cuchulainn, the renowned mad dog of Celtic mythology, was recognized by her and placed high hopes in him. Similarly, she held the same intention towards nurturing this intriguing Master before her, so she didn't personally conduct the rituals. She simply tossed him a few primitive runes related to purification, magic, and curses, then gave him some pointers on a few points before letting Rowe complete the ritual himself.

And the result...

Isn't this great?

"You did a great job! Did you learn those runes I gave you so quickly? I'm really surprised by your speed of learning..."

Glancing at the ritual array that Rowe had completed during this period of time in the workshop, even Scathach couldn't help but sigh.

"Honestly, your talent in the magic way is even exaggerated. Even among my disciples, your speed is among the best. And I am also curious about the secrets you possess. If you are the one, perhaps you can really accomplish what I hope for after everything is almost over."

"That thing you were looking forward to... You really do trust me."

When he heard Scathach mention the matter that gave him a vague headache, Luo Wei did not respond directly, but just smiled helplessly.

"This isn't about trusting you, but trusting my judgment. After all, that's why I'm here, and that's why I'm with you, isn't it?"

"Yes... Thank you very much for your kindness, Queen of the Shadow Kingdom. Anyway, I will do my best."

Luo Wei shook his head and didn't intend to dwell on this matter right now.

"That would be best." Scathach nodded slightly.

"By the way, you actually went to investigate with Orange... I thought you two weren't the type to do something like that."

Just now, Aozaki Touko, who had just returned, had called him and told him the news that they had found the Einzbern family's servants and masters on the street.

Through the verbal description, he learned that one of the Servant was a Heroic Spirit with golden hair, emerald eyes, and a petite figure. The other one should be Saber, and the other one with white hair was a homunculus of the Einzbern family.

Through Aozaki Touko's description, Luo Wei immediately understood that they had just met the pair of Irisviel and Altria while shopping.

This information transmission was of great significance to Luo Wei, as it allowed him to confirm in advance that the group of Sword Heroic Spirits had not changed, and was still composed of King Arthur Artoria and Emiya Kiritsugu.

That's enough.

"Well, I didn't plan to do that."

Facing Rowe's question, Scathach nodded without hesitation, and then said:

"We just happened to run into each other on the street this time. But I never expected that besides the two of us, there would be other masters and servants who dared to appear in public during this period. Should we really say that they are brave and skilled?"

"You guys know better than to show up in public..."

Luo Wei smiled bitterly. He was also very helpless towards this somewhat self-centered queen.

"By the way, Aozaki Touko should have told us all the information, right? Master, the other party is a configuration of an android and a sword heroic spirit. They must be the contestants from the Einzbern family you mentioned."

Scathach shrugged and continued.

"However, although the two of them were very close, because the android was wearing gloves that concealed the Command Seals, I couldn't be sure that she was the Master."

“I see… I understand.”

Hearing this, Lovi nodded, agreeing in his heart with Scathach's statement. He had long known that Irisviel was just a smokescreen thrown by Emiya Kiritsugu.

"By the way, Scathach, where's Orange? Why didn't she come back with you?"

After chatting with Scathach for a while, Luo Wei noticed that Aozaki Touko did not come back with her this time, which surprised him.

After all, with his shameless personality, shouldn't he continue to stay by Scathach's side like a little brother, trying to curry her favor and obtain the rune? Why did he suddenly disappear? Has he changed his ways?

"Oh, that funny little girl."

Seeing Luo Wei mention Aozaki Orange, Scathach replied casually,

"I just gave her an original rune. She's busy looking for a quiet place to meditate, so she didn't come back with me this time. She said she seemed to be going to a place called the Hyatt Hotel to rest. Shouldn't it be a problem?"
