Emiya Kiritsugu is going to meet with Kenneth Elmloy Archibald to discuss the next plan.
In this Holy Grail War, since Tokiomi Tosaka gathered three heroic spirits from the beginning and attacked other camps with an overwhelming advantage, the consequence is that so far there has been no substantial conflict between the two sides, and
Under Caster's planning, the two parties even cooperated once with a tacit understanding.
At this time, the other party has captured an assassin that seems to be very important. As a natural ally, it is necessary for him to discuss the information about her and related disposal.
But the reason why Kiritsugu hesitated for a while was the natural opposition between "magician killers" and "genius magicians". For Kiritsugu, the academic magicians in the Clock Tower had never been on his hunting list.
.
Just like the nobles in the Middle Ages, they have a very high status in the mysterious side. In addition to conducting experiments, they usually write experimental reports. Their families are also busy comparing with each other like the upper class, holding dances and celebrating unknown festivals.
Perhaps the biggest commotion is when two gentlemen duel with each other for the heart of a certain lady. Any other scandals and incidents that will affect their external image will be completely wiped out before they can start.
Kiritsugu once watched a "sealing designation" they conducted. Although a magician with special abilities lost his personal freedom and magic ability, his magical characteristics that could easily lose control and cause casualties were completely sealed and preserved.
No one was killed at all in this process, and the result was very consistent with Kiritsugu's definition of justice.
However, since Emiya Kiritsugu himself was also on the "Seal Designated" list, he still chose to stay away from these executors.
In any case, Kiritsugu believed that Kenneth's attitude toward him would not be too good, especially since he was not like Caster in being able to offer offers that the other party could not refuse. Therefore, Kiritsugu brought Saber·A1ter with him this time, not for the sake of
Intimidation - no matter how you say it, the other person is an Englishman. Although the gender and posture are not right, Saber is still the King Arthur.
Emiya Kiritsugu opened the passenger door, stepped out of the G55o, and stood outside the mansion's security barrier, waiting for the owner to come out.

Kenneth has been anxious since last night, and the reason is the assassin brought back by Rider.
According to his plan, this little girl-like Assassin should be imprisoned in a forbidden magic circle, and her condition should be analyzed using various analytical magic to find clues that are beneficial to the war and even confidential information about the Tohsaka family.
For Rider's sake, it's enough not to use any means that might cause harm.
But for some reason, this little girl who is clearly an enemy servant has won the unanimous love of Kenneth's camp. Forget about Sora and Luna, even Waver and Diarmuid have taken good care of her. They are firmly united.
The government refused to lock her up like a prisoner or use any method of "examination" that would cause harm.
After repeatedly confirming that his fiancée and disciples were not affected by charm magic, the depressed Kenneth had to use ancient and inefficient magic to check the situation of this special assassin individual - well, her name is Emile - conclusion.
Of course everything is normal.
When a heroic spirit is tested by a spell directed at humans, the result of "everything is normal" is abnormal. This is abnormal in itself, especially when neither Kenneth nor Webb Sola can sense the unique aura and attribute values of the servant from Emil.
.
Did Iskandar make a mistake? He caught an ordinary little girl who was just dressed in a special way as an assassin?
After discovering that almost everyone had this idea - except for Kenneth and Rider, the genius lecturer at the Clock Tower finally confirmed that she was indeed an assassin, an assassin with extremely powerful passive attributes.
In the end, Sora reluctantly accepted Kenneth's proposal and limited Emil's area of activity to a room that could effectively suppress the release of magic power. The suppression intensity was set to the strongest assassin they had seen so far, Gorz of the Strange Arm.
You are the standard.
Emil, who has been almost silent since being caught, has no objection to this either.
So, when he learned that Miya Kiritsugu, the actual leader of the Einzbern family, was visiting, Kenneth and Sora took Luna and Rider out for a meeting, and asked Waver to monitor the surrounding environment in the "control room"
, 1ancer remains in spiritual form and patrols the surrounding area.

Kotomine Kirei is very experienced in how to sneak into a magician's workshop.
As the representative of the Holy Church's [Burial Agency], his goal is not only to bury those dead disciples, natural creatures and heretics who should have been buried long ago, but also internal traitors, evil magicians and even those with conflicting missions from the Magic Association.
"Executor".
Those who know that their actions will attract the judges naturally defend their lair very tightly, and it is very difficult to sneak in or break through. If they can't break through, Qili will have to summon many colleagues to work together to use a large-scale
Magic completely leveled the opponent's fortress.
The difficulty of breaking through Kenneth's temporary workshop is not high.
It is composed of the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel and a foreign mansion in the mountains. The twin structures, protective barriers and various counterattack traps work so well with each other that it cannot be seen that it was made temporarily after an emergency landing.
.
And there are many magic barriers and traps inside them. Just like what Tokiomi-sensei did in his mansion, any unwelcome guest will attract a strong counterattack, and the strange ones that the assassin avatars encountered when they broke in last time
Magic Trap is its manifestation.
Since he and Assassin were unable to sense the magic power fluctuations, they could only watch them step on the traps one by one. They knew nothing except the structure of the house. As for those traps, they might have been moved to a new location by the other party.
So now Kotomine Kirei is basically breaking into a completely unfamiliar magician's studio, finding Emil and rescuing her before the negotiation can be concluded or collapsed. And it's different from when Emiya Kiritsugu sneaked into the Tohsaka Residence.
At this time, the owner of the workshop is very close, and even if he wants to fight, he cannot make as much noise as the Magician Killer.
Due to so many unfavorable conditions, the success rate of Qili's unauthorized rescue operation is less than 30%, but it is enough for agents who are good at seizing opportunities. After all, there is only one chance for certain tasks that must be performed, regardless of
We have to take action no matter what, so the calculation of success rate is not included in the pre-war preparations at all.
As for rescuing Emil, this is a mission that must be carried out. No matter whether her identity and special characteristics are analyzed, the rescue fails, or even a head is injured, the mission will not be considered a success.
At this time, Kirei Kotomine, who was wearing a black cassock, was squatting half-crouched outside the range of a certain warning barrier in the backyard of the mansion, pressing his hands on the ground, closing his eyes and feeling something like a heartbeat coming from the ground.
sound.
Boom, boom, buzz-boom!
This is the sound of a spiritual vein being blocked and then breaking through on its own. This sound is completely inaudible to ordinary people, and is imperceptible even to animals with sensitive hearing. Only magicians or magical creatures can detect it through careful magic perception.
Generally speaking, magicians who are old or well-prepared will build magic workshops on spiritual vein nodes, and draw out the magic power from them to continuously strengthen the workshop. This can greatly enhance the protection of the workshop and the master's ability to cast in it.
For example, several major nodes in Fuyuki are occupied by Tohsaka House, Matou House and Fuyuki Church respectively. As for the one on Enzo Mountain, it has been abandoned by Tokiomi-sensei due to the poor terrain.
Maybe a family like Einzbern who likes to build strongholds in deep mountains and old forests would like it, but now we have to add Kenneth.
As an outsider, Kenneth actually opened up a new node at the Hyatt Regency Hotel after arriving in Fuyuki. It was like building a dam on a river to store water, but the flow of magic between spiritual veins was completely different from that of an ordinary river.
Different, they are more like a whole. If no one uses it, the magic power contained in them can travel all of Fuyuki's spiritual veins.
As a result, this sudden "dam" caused the entire Fuyuki's spiritual veins to become chaotic. This was probably one of the reasons why Tokiomi-sensei, who was the manager of Fuyuki's spiritual veins, prioritized attacking him and demolishing the magic workshop.
After being driven here, they actually tried to create nodes again, and they did so in two magic workshops at the same time. In addition, the "dam" on Hyatt's side had not been completely demolished. If they succeeded, it would be a trivial matter to obtain the favorable location.
Fuyuki's spiritual veins will never be restored, and while the Tohsaka family will suffer huge losses, they may also be deprived of their status as managers by the Magic Association.
This kind of behavior is not incomprehensible. After all, it was mentioned as a joke among the agents that the use of spiritual veins in the Clock Tower actually has such restrictions as "flow" and "pulse width", and there are charging standards based on this, so from now on
The magicians who come out there are all experts in saving traffic and using spiritual veins. They will not and cannot think of saving money for the managers.
And it is precisely because of this behavior that all the barriers in Kenneth's workshop that use spiritual veins to power will fail in the gap between the spiritual veins being blocked and broken open. If it is not specifically checked for this point or
Using an extremely sensitive barrier, it is completely impossible to detect, so Qili's first step of sneaking in can be said to be foolproof.
Boom, boom, buzz——
At the moment when the spiritual veins were blocked, the agent in black rushed into the area of the warning barrier.
——Buzz!
The barrier that was supposed to respond to any intrusion was quiet - this was a normal phenomenon. Those barrier logics with simple settings could not handle the contradictory feedback of "no foreign matter intrusion" and "foreign matter found inside". Finally,
This "foreign object" that causes logical confusion will only be regarded as non-existent.
It seems that even the geniuses of the Clock Tower have not repaired this ancient loophole, so the first step of the action can be said to be perfectly achieved. Kotomine Kirei clapped his hands to dust them off, and quickly walked towards the mansion not far away.
