People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

"This is professional proof. The so-called Skyloft and Thunder Chariot are nothing more than fairy tales, illusions. There was no terrorist attack. Everything is just an illusion. Everyone must believe in science."

"And...please don't underestimate gas leaks. Every year, they cause hallucinations and deaths in countless people, so everyone...please pay attention to protection!"

Listening to Kotomine Kirei's bizarre explanation on TV, the corners of Waver and Kenneth's mouths twitched for a while.

This means they were sent flying into space by a gas explosion last night, right?

The company that installed gas in this city was in big trouble. It was going to go bankrupt after receiving this compensation.

"I remember this guy should be the supervisor of the Holy Church..."

Waver was even more speechless as he pointed at Kotomine Kirei, who was still talking nonsense on TV.

"Doesn't the Bible say that if a believer tells a lie, he or she will go to hell after death?"

"Yes, no matter which religion's God is, he will never lie. It seems that the punishment for Christianity is indeed going to hell..."

Kenneth shook his head. "But how many of those lunatics in the Holy Church truly believe in God? And how many are mentally ill? With their behavior, going to hell is probably a given."

"But... right now, instead of discussing insignificant matters, we should continue to conserve our strength. Although our stronghold has been blown to the ground, thanks to that brat Rowe, I still managed to save a lot of magic costumes. We can use these as capital for a counterattack later."

Speaking of Luo Wei...

"By the way, where did Rowe go? After last night, he and Scathach disappeared."

Weber said with some worry.

"...That kid?"

Kenneth shook his head. "He said this place is too small to accommodate her, and Scathach doesn't like such noisy places, so he went to find a safe place to live. Call him if you have any questions."

"what?"

After hearing Kenneth's explanation, Weber's expression was stunned for a moment.

"Forget it, stop standing there and eat quickly. After you finish eating, come and help me."

"If we want to counterattack, we must be fully prepared."

Kenneth gave a reminder, then stood up and walked into the temporary workshop he had set up overnight.

……

Fuyuki City's underground parking lot

"So...how long has it been since I made a proper official appearance?"

Returning to this familiar underground base, Luo Wei sat back in his chair and asked the red-haired woman in front of him.

"Huh? How long has it been since you made a proper appearance? What are you talking about? Haven't we only not seen each other for over a day?"

Aozaki Touko, who had just finished a preliminary analysis of the Lesser Holy Grail, was sipping beer when she heard Luo Wei's baffling question. Just as she was about to say something, a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside her.

"Master, I'm back."

A purple figure pushed the door open and walked in. It was Queen Scathach who had just finished the battle over there.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that the person who came back was Scathach, Rowe nodded slightly.

He probably already knew what was happening over there.

Whether it was the departure of Hassan the Hundred Faces, Scathach letting go of Artoria, or the reunion with Matou Kariya, all of these happened under his watch.

Although there were some minor incidents, such as Saber, who was originally scheduled to retire, was still alive, this was not a problem for Rowe, who had already taken the absolute initiative.

Under his deliberate guidance, Waver and Teacher Kenneth reconciled. The reckless and somewhat frivolous junior had indeed grown considerably after all they had experienced, and gradually came to understand Kenneth. This time, he even brought Rider, the Conqueror King, to form a strong partnership with them.

Kenneth-sensei had changed even more this time. Not only had he left his fiancée, who constantly held him back, but he had also traded in his old Servant for a new one, the intelligent, powerful, and versatile Finn. Now that he'd been told the secrets surrounding Kiritsugu Emiya, and after the recent high-rise explosion, his mindset had undoubtedly completely shifted. He could probably survive the upcoming Holy Grail War.

And Matou Kariya...

To be honest, compared to the two aces Finn and Iskandar, Lancelot, who becomes weak in the knees when he sees Arthur, is at best just a temporary move. He can indeed play a role, but he is not so critical in his plan. The same goes for Zouken Matou.

Now, under his guidance, these three forces that should not be underestimated have gradually condensed into a torrent, which can directly smash the target with just a little guidance.

However, this power can only be guided by him and cannot be fully controlled.

The reason they can stand together now is simply because they have a common enemy and short-term goal, that is, the number one enemy of the forces that have offended all the masters, the pot of this world - Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Don't think that they can work together and fight together now. Once they lose their common enemy, this united force will become an obstacle for him.

Regardless of Matou Kariya, Iskandar from Rider's group would never give up the Holy Grail for a brief alliance. That king was the embodiment of conquest and violence. If he were left until the end, even if Waver didn't want to be his enemy, he would still launch his own conquest. Therefore, a battle with him was inevitable, and he would become an obstacle to his plans, so he needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Teacher Kenneth will not want to lose to them because of his dignity as a monarch and a teacher, so he will try his best not to give in, and by then he will also be an enemy.

"call……"

After thinking about what might happen in the future, Luo Wei sighed softly.

When I think about it this way, their El-Melloi School is really a place where teachers are kind and students are filial, and brothers are friendly and respectful to each other. They have almost made stealing relics to participate in the Holy Grail War and fighting among themselves a classroom feature.

If possible, Luo Wei didn't want to fight with his teacher and junior fellow apprentice. Although the problem was not unsolvable, it would just make things very troublesome.

However, in order to achieve a certain goal in his plan, he had to take the magic of the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City, and no one could refuse him this.

So... is there a way to avoid internal strife and mutual killing between masters and apprentices, and still solve the problem?

The answer is: Yes.

Thinking of a certain figure, Luo Wei inadvertently smiled.

With Assassin out of the picture, Fuyuki City's intelligence network had been completely wiped out, and he no longer had to worry about the possibility of being exposed.

So now he can do some things more easily.

Although it was easy, he still needed someone to help him draw the fire, and that person...

Tōsaka Tokiomi jumped out on his own.

Without a doubt, Tōsaka Tokiomi holds the strongest trump card in this Holy Grail War: the Ancient King, Archer Gilgamesh. Judging solely by Heroic Spirit strength, he is undoubtedly the best among the summoned Heroic Spirits.

And this master-servant pair is just the perfect person to help him solve his current problem...

Since Kenneth, Weber, and Matou Kariya want to defeat Tōsaka Tokiomi, they will inevitably face Gilgamesh.

The original plan was four against one, and with Scathach added, as long as they were well prepared, even Gilgamesh would be killed, and the casualties on their side could be reduced to a minimum.

But what if I could reduce the power I had at hand a little bit before I started fighting? Wouldn't that make the situation better?

If Rider and Lancer were to face the Ancient King, the balance of victory would shift uncontrollably, and the outcome would become completely unpredictable.

Or...

"Hey, my Master, what evil things are you thinking about? That expression doesn't look like something a good person would show."

There was a hint of joy in the cold female voice.

Scathach, a beautiful woman with purple hair and red eyes, was leaning on the chair opposite him, looking at him with a playful smile on her face.

Even Aozaki Touko couldn't help laughing after seeing Luo Wei's expression, and started to complain.

"What... That expression on your face looks like you're about to do something bad. Luo Wei, you seem to have a very dangerous idea."

"Ah, is that so? It's just..."

Luo Wei touched his face, then restrained his smile, closed one eye, and spoke calmly.

"I've already figured out what to do next, so I'm just a little happy."

"Tsk tsk, happy? I think it's more like joy. Although I don't quite understand what you're thinking, I have a feeling that what you're going to do is not good."

Aozaki Touko smacked her lips and couldn't help but feel sympathy for a certain lemonhead.

"From your expression, I can tell your teacher is going to suffer."

"Have it?"

"Of course, he looks like a villain in a TV show."

“…Is that so? Never mind then.”

Hearing this, Luo Wei shook his head slightly, not caring too much about it, but asked Orange in front of him.

"Orange, how's your research on the Lesser Holy Grail going?"

"I've made some progress. Through my hands-on study of the Lesser Holy Grail, I've gained a general understanding of its secrets."

At the mention of the Lesser Holy Grail, Aozaki Touko couldn't help but smile, and replied with a somewhat excited tone, "I didn't expect that it was just as you said, that there was actually such a heavyweight existence as the Third Law hidden in this Holy Grail War. No wonder Emiya Kiritsugu was so confident in achieving the so-called salvation of all mankind."

The thing she had always longed for was now right before her eyes. Although she could never control this third magic, experiencing it in person was a way for Aozaki Touko to make up for her past regrets.

Seeing that she was gradually beginning to let go, Luo Wei was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

I'm almost out...

"In that case, then do your best. Time is limited, only the duration of the Holy Grail War. How far you can research Soul Materialization depends on your own ability."

After learning about Aozaki Touko's research progress, Luo Wei nodded and repeatedly reminded her not to forcibly split the Holy Grail and to conduct research on the premise of ensuring the integrity of Irisviel.

After learning that time was running out, Aozaki Touko no longer wanted to chat with Luo Wei, and immediately went back to her room to continue studying the magic she had been thinking about.

Scathach's words and actions seemed a little strange.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Seeing Scathach leaning on the chair with a bored expression and staring at him, Rowe asked her considerately.

"Nothing, it's just that if there's no battle for a while, it's going to be too boring to stay here any longer. With one of you analyzing the Lesser Holy Grail and the other drawing the Greater Holy Grail, it seems like I have nothing to do."

Scathach pointed to the huge block of magic power that had just been extracted from the earth veins and the Holy Grail above the ritual formation behind Rowe. This was also the important material that Rowe used to make the fake Holy Grail.

"Since you have nothing to do, why don't you come and help me stabilize the ritual?"

When he heard Scathach say that she had nothing to do, Luo Wei frowned slightly.

After all, if he had the guidance of the Magic Queen, the completion of his legendary costume would be much faster.

"I don't want it. Anyway, I've already given you the corresponding runes and magic. Whether you can complete it from now on is up to you. This is my test for you. If you can't even complete this independently, let alone fulfill my wish, right?"

Scathach narrowed her eyes and asked Rowe back.

"While that's true, I think you still have some laziness mixed in with that."

Luo Wei shook his head, but did not refute.

"Anyway, what do you want to do?"

"Give me some money. It's so boring staying here with you guys. There shouldn't be any more battles now anyway. I want to go out for a walk."

The purple-haired beauty blinked, then stretched out her white hand and expressed her thoughts very straightforwardly.

This scene made Luo Wei imagine that there was a puppeteer who was studying hard in the room at that moment.

Is it because they have been together for too long that they got infected?

Luo Wei sighed: "As long as you don't cause trouble, then it's up to you..."

Anyway, the battle situation was almost set. Having suffered two heavy losses and been severely injured, Artoria was no longer able to fight, leaving only Gilgamesh as the enemy. Therefore, even if Scathach was released, there would be no problem.

In this situation, even if Scathach went shopping in all the shopping malls in Fuyuki City, no one would care about her.

"Remember not to cause any big noise, do you understand?"

Luo Wei emphasized it again.

"No problem, no problem."

After taking the black card with seven million pounds in it, Scathach's eyes lit up slightly and a touching smile appeared on her face.

When she was in the Kingdom of Shadows, she was either a shadow or a dead person, almost suffocating to death. Now she can finally get out and breathe...

Although she was happy to fight heroes from different eras and to make friends with a Master like Rowe who she got along well with, Scathach didn't want to stay in this dark underground parking lot until the end of the war.

For her, there are still many good things in this era, and they are all worth her experiencing personally.

"Go ahead, but be careful. If there are any unexpected situations, just start fighting. After all, the thing we have the most right now is magic power."

Luo Wei sighed, then looked at the huge magic power behind him that was being compressed and shaped as much as possible by the ritual.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
