Dressed in black and wearing tactical gloves, the black-haired boy walking in the dark alley was quite handsome, but his faintly pale face and the bright red color on his lower abdomen covered by his palms proved that he had suffered serious injuries.

His name is Sigma, one of the magicians that Faldius brought to Fuyuki this time, and the person who sniped at Emiya Kiritsugu before.

Originally, he was well hidden, but the return of Hercules forced him to take risks and escape. If he didn't leave early, he would not be able to escape. As a result, he was shot back by Emiya Kiritsugu. Although he used magic to defend himself, he avoided it.

It was too critical, but the power of the sniper rifle still caused him to lose a lot of blood.

Fortunately it's not fatal yet.

"Emiya Kiritsugu... is very powerful."

Sigma has a close relationship with Emiya Kiritsugu. He is the son of Kuu Maiya.

Kuu Maiya was born in a war-torn country and was trained as a soldier since he was a child. In that kind of place, human life is as cheap as paper, and there are no laws, rules, or even normal human ethics.

Women with magical talents will be used as fertility machines to give birth to magician seeds. Sigma did not know who his father was, and he was taken away from Kuu Maiya after he was born. Everything that happened after that happened to him when he was six or seven years old.

I learned this through other people’s reports.

Sigma is envious of his mother Kuu Maiya, who was saved by Emiya Kiritsugu and can follow Emiya Kiritsugu according to her own will.

For Emiya Kiritsugu, the person who 'took away' his mother, he had no real feelings of hatred because of his special upbringing, but this time he was assigned to deal with Emiya Kiritsugu, and he did have some different mood swings, probably...

Just want to try it.

This was also the first time he met Emiya Kiritsugu, the man his mother followed... he was really outstanding, right?

Following the instructions from his superiors, Sigma hid all the way back to the prison base. After entering the instructions to open the door, Sigma, who had been adopted by a mercenary organization since he was a child, suddenly felt wary.

"Where are the guards?"

Touching the pistol on his waist, he took a few steps forward with his Sigma Tactical Stepper, used the mirror reflection of the gun to flash it, and immediately turned around and ran away.

It wasn't until he ran one kilometer away from the base and entered an alley that Sigma took a breath and sat down softly, leaning against the wall.

The base has been found and completely destroyed? Is Lord Faldius still alive? It may be very dangerous to encounter enemies who can invade the base in this state. The wound has burst again. If this amount of blood loss is not dealt with in time, there may be a danger of death...

...Maybe it would be good to just die like this?

His consciousness gradually faded, and Sigma, who had always had a weak sense of reality, thought of a strange question at this moment - if my mother knew that I died like this, would she feel sorry for me?

Ah, she probably wouldn't know.

Sigma slowly tilted his head and fell into coma.

Two minutes later, two figures appeared in this dark alley.

The flame of the cigarette was flickering. Aozaki Orange shook his head and said: "He ran pretty fast."

It was Bazett who was following him. Two masters from different sides who were rivals before were acting at the same time, but it was not surprising. After all... their heroic spirits were all gone.

Other people's heroic spirits were disconnected and reconnected, but their spearmen were unable to connect. In fact, if they were to compete normally, Cu Chulainn and Diarmuid should be able to determine the winner, and Cu Chulainn would most likely be stronger.

, but that was a special situation before.

It’s almost gone anyway, so if you don’t use the desperate fighting method, how can you be ruthless?

In that situation, whoever defends is the grandson! The result is very good, the network is reconnected, and the life connection is lost.

After withdrawing from the Holy Grail War in this slightly absurd and unfortunate way, they did not fight. After all, there was no hatred at all, and Aozaki Orange was not the designated target of the seal.

On the contrary, it was Aozaki Orange who had some thoughts.

Bazett has good standards and a "very honest" personality. It seems a pity to continue working for the Clock Tower. It is better to kidnap him.

So he told Bazett what he had discovered before, and as soon as he heard that the United States was involved in the Holy Grail War, Bazett became serious and came here with Aozaki Yuko to investigate.

As a result, it was discovered that someone had arrived first, and there was nothing to be gained from exploring the prison base. They only waited until Sigma - what Sigma saw through the reflection before was none other than Aozaki Yuko's doll.

"Young soldier...or mercenary?" Bazett observed the young man's immature face and said, "We must help him stop the bleeding as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Aozaki Orange responded nonchalantly: "It seems to have good qualities and a familiar taste. Let's take it away first."

…

In Emiya Kiritsugu's safe house.

The index and middle fingers of his right hand were wrapped with bandages, and his cheek was disinfected and covered with gauze. After taking care of his own injuries, Emiya Kiritsugu listened to Illya recounting everything he saw tonight and the special circumstances.

At this moment, I fell into deep thought.

As the 'son-in-law' of the Einzbern family, he is also very familiar with the Holy Grail system. The disconnection and reconnection instantly made him have some guesses and verified more ideas.

The witch Medea is indeed a powerful magician, but as the celestial monarch among the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, Marisbili has extremely strong financial resources. Even Kenneth ten years ago was able to prepare the King of Conqueror and the King of Conqueror.

Diarmuid's holy relic, Maris had more time to prepare, so how could he just come up with a Medea?

But after this point was verified, another doubt emerged - who was the magician who killed Arjuna in an instant?

Acquiring the power of Black Archer, possessing the level of water magic that can change the concentration of water vapor to create a rain, and being able to use such great magic as the 'artificial sun' without going through a ritual... Even with what Emiya Kiritsugu has seen, he has never heard of it.

Pass!

Is there really such a powerful magician in the world today? An old monster who survived in the Age of Gods?

The difficulty of this Holy Grail War always seems to be higher than the last time. There are people from all sides, the conspiracy of the clock tower, the joining of national mercenaries, and a magician who is more powerful than the heroic spirit has emerged... maybe it's time

Did she go to meet King Arthur and talk to her master about forming an alliance?

I don’t know if she still has the memory of the last ‘betrayal’, and her master is a pure newcomer, so I’m afraid she won’t be able to avoid Tohsaka Rin and the King of Heroes.

What to do?

Seeing Kiritsugu lowering his head and remaining silent, thinking he was angry with herself, Illya pouted aggrievedly and whispered: "Kiritsugu, that nun is too despicable. She attacked Berserker and me, otherwise I would defeat them both.

Those two..."

The more he spoke, the softer he spoke, but it still brought Emiya Kiritsugu back to his senses. He smiled and said, "Illya did a great job. I blame me for not making better arrangements. Illya is also a powerful magician.

If I had trusted Illya more, I wouldn't have achieved nothing tonight."

"...Yes, it's all Kiritsugu's fault!" Even though she heard that this was 'coaxing the child', Illya still laughed because she knew that Emiya Kiritsugu would not blame her anymore, so she thought for a while and said

: "But I'm serious, Kiritsugu, if I really face that hateful nun again, I will definitely defeat her!"

"Well, I believe in Illya." Emiya Kiritsugu nodded: "Okay, it's getting late, and Illya must be tired. There won't be any more fighting tonight, so go to bed early."

Things have already happened, and there is no point in blaming the child. Now that he has joined the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu realizes that he is unable to completely protect Illya from behind. Correct guidance is a better choice than blind scolding... The once cold-blooded

Magic really does make a perfect father.

Illya was really happy and said, "Well! I need to take a shower first. Although Berserker protected me from the rain, I still got a little wet."

Drenched in the rain? Emiya Kiritsugu was in a daze for a moment, and he instantly stood up and touched the handle of the gun. It was his trump card weapon equipped with an origin bomb, but the next moment he saw four figures in the room.

Among them is the mysterious magician described by Illya who took away the power of Archer from Black.

The other three... Emiya Kiritsugu's heart sank rapidly: "How...is this possible?!"

Hercules had appeared next to Illya, and Illya was shocked by the scene in front of her. It was not until she noticed the figure of the old man with mixed red and white hair that suddenly appeared among the four that she spoke out.

: "Damn nun?!"

The nun was defeated, and even the heroic spirit Li Shuwen fell into his hands. The other two were Black Archer and the witch from last night?!

How on earth is this done?!

The act of secretly marking Illya and suddenly breaking into the safe house did not seem like a good intention. Just as Emiya Kiritsugu was preparing to give it a try, Hayakawa Killsei spoke: "We haven't seen each other for ten years. It seems that you have listened carefully to what I said.

, her temperament has become much softer, and she loves her daughter very well."

Emiya Kiritsugu paused for a moment, eyes widening.

"Who are you……?!"

"Penglai Gunslinger Sanren, Tong Yuan." Ji Xing said directly: "I don't want to kill this little nun, it's not convenient to kill her, and I can't let her go directly. I can rest assured only if you take care of her. The time is up to the Holy Grail.

The war is over."

Really... Emiya Kiritsugu felt that he should have thought of it a long time ago. Such an unusual situation should have reminded him of the person last time, but at the same time, his heart was still in turmoil - even though he knew that the person who died ten years ago had died.

It was impossible for Ta to die, he must still be alive somewhere, but he never expected that he would appear in such a way.

A powerful human magician?

Wait... "Hayakawa Tatexei?"

"Guessed it right."

Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was shaken again.

A tall building in the distance, Astraea looked at the scene with her arms in her arms, her eyes hovering over Ji Xing F4 and Hercules.

To send a nun here? I believe you have a conspiracy!

There is still one empty attribute missing from the five major attributes. The 'ether' that shapes the body of a heroic spirit, no matter how suitable it is for Hercules, I think you have already planned and planned! But... what should I do?!

…

Hyatt Regency Hotel, top floor.

"Caster, Magic King, others don't know the details of that magician, but you can definitely see through it, right?" Marisbili didn't even pay much attention to the King of Heroes at the moment. When King Solomon returned, he immediately asked.

Solomon gave a negative answer.
