In the afternoon in Fuyuki, there are not many pedestrians on the streets except for people rushing to work after lunch. Although the water vapor dissipates the heat due to its proximity to the sea, most people are not willing to go out in the bright sun.
.
Tokiomi Tosaka, who had cast concealment magic on himself, was walking along a remote road in Shinto towards Fuyuki Church. Even though he had cast the heat preservation magic, he still felt that he was sweating non-stop. This was because——
"My king, please protect me personally. I am deeply afraid." He said to the air around him.
The target of Tokiomi's conversation was naturally not the air. In fact, in his perception, the heroic spirit he summoned that was full of majesty and pride of the king, the Hero King Gilgamesh, was following him in his spiritual body.
.
Since both Kirei and Ryunosuke's heroic spirits have problems and they need to concentrate on treatment, the task of rushing to the Fuyuki Church and exchanging information with Kotomine Rimasa can only be undertaken by Tokiomi himself. Even in this case, he can
I didn't dare to contact Gilgamesh and ask for escort. After all, one of the rules set by this king was "You are not allowed to disturb the king's mood at will."
At this moment, the King of Heroes actually took the initiative to escort, which may be another success of his strategy of "taking the lead to win their help" - the last time was the remote support during the raid on Kenneth Hotel.
——Stop talking nonsense and keep walking.
Gilgamesh's very impatient voice came from the magic connection.
"I will obey your orders."
As a Servant with extremely high [Act Alone] ability, the King of Heroes not only does not need to supply demons and can appear in the world for a long time even if the Master dies, but also has the ability to unilaterally establish and cut off contact with the Master.
, in the previous brief exchange, Tokiomi’s response was “rejected”.
This morning, Kirei's unauthorized actions caused one death and one injury to the opponent's servant, and he also obtained the information that Rider possesses an EX-level Noble Phantasm. Even at the cost of temporarily losing his two command spells, Assassin and Berserker's combat effectiveness, he could
Call it a glorious victory, but Gilgamesh seems pretty unhappy with it - perhaps because he didn't play a key role in it?
"My king, the church is just ahead. Look..."
Tosaka Tokiomi stopped near the church.
Gilgamesh hates so-called "gods" very much. Anyone who has studied Sumerian mythology knows this well. Although he is not sure how the hero king feels about the one worshiped by the church, it is better not to let them interact and compare.
good.
——Huh, didn’t you come?
Gilgamesh's seemingly regretful voice came from the magic connection.
——You go in, and report to me when you return.
"What should I do-" Before Tokiomi could finish his words, the magic reaction around him disappeared in an instant, and he had no choice but to walk towards the door of Fuyuki Church with a wry smile.
As for what "didn't come", Tokiomi thought when he pushed open the side door of the church. It was probably a long-range sniper attack by the magician killer. When Kenneth's camp was unable to support them, it would be better to rule out himself as the master first.
reasonable means.
And what Gilgamesh paid attention to was probably after killing the master and taking over Saber who was about to disappear due to the loss of magic power supply? He was really persistent towards them.

The relationship between Kotomine Rimasa and the Tosaka family did not begin with Tosaka Tokiomi, but with Tosaka Tokiomi's father, who participated in the Third Holy Grail War, and the fourth generation head of the Tosaka family, Tosaka Miuto.
It was the first time for the young Kotomine Ri to serve as a supervisor, and he made a lot of jokes. As a result, he was helped by Tohsaka Miuto, who also didn't care much about the grudges between the church and the Magicians Association.
Although the Holy Grail War ended in vain, Risei and Mikuto established a strong friendship, calling each other "old friend", and later called Tokiomi "little friend"
Now that his son is once again cooperating with Tokiomi Tokiomi in the Fourth Holy Grail War, he feels that there is still a tradition for the Tosaka family to cooperate secretly with the church overseers.
The contestants at that time were a pair of Edelfeld sisters from Finland. After each summoning a heroic spirit, they planned to work together to eliminate all other contestants, and then they would guess which heroic spirit they wanted to commit suicide. Anyway, they both
The wishes are the same.
At that time, other contestants were not able to form various bonds and unite with each other like this time. The result of fighting on their own was naturally to be defeated. Even if Rizheng wanted to use his supervisory authority to help others cheat, he could not do it.
Someone once said that if you are handsome, you can do whatever you want.
As a result, he was handsome and elegant, and he was very graceful even when he was defeated and ran away. Moreover, because Risei secretly cheated to help Tohsaka Miuto, who was always unable to be completely defeated and was considered very perseverant - he also gained the admiration of the two sisters.
What happened after that was more like a third-rate romance drama. The Edelfeld sisters turned against each other, one was killed and the other was injured. The Holy Grail War completely failed. Risei obtained the remaining Command Seals, while Mikuto gained a wife...
Speaking of which, the Rin-chan and Sakura-chan that Risheng had met were exactly the young versions of those sisters.
"Welcome, old friend Tokiomi," Kotomine Riko received Tosaka Tokiomi in the room where the spiritual artifact plate was located: "I heard that you have eliminated 1ancer, which is great news."
"Yes, it's all thanks to Kirei, he is a very good disciple," Tokiomi responded politely: "He took the most credit for this victory, but it was precisely because their results were so brilliant that the enemy escaped again."
"That's not a problem," Kotomine Rizheng stood up and walked to the spiritual artifact plate, greeting Tokiomi: "Let's take a look together."
"Is it really possible? I thought the magician's spiritual power would interfere with it." Tokiomi walked over.
"In fact, it is the Servant's magic that causes interference. When Kirei sent Assassin here before, if I asked him to look at it by himself, he would only see that the whole screen was full of light - that was his own reaction."
Kotomine Rimasa began to activate the magic tool like a washbasin.
"Well, now I need to know where Kenneth drove the 'Floating City'." Tokiomi turned his attention to the basin.
"The reaction of the two sabers was on the bank of the Mito River. It should be the newly purchased mansion of Emiya Kiritsugu. It seems that the connections he has made over the years are very useful." Risei observed the reaction of the heroic spirits: "Weak Berserker and Assassin
, this is your place."
There were four others who had the same reaction from Assassin, and they were shuttling back and forth in Fuyuki City at extremely high speeds.
"Kirei is indeed excellent. Even when he was treating the main body, he did not forget to send his avatar for investigation." Tokiomi praised Risei.
"It was even more chaotic when there were eighty of them in the past," Li Zheng glanced at Tokiomi: "My old eyes were all deceived."
"It is better to retire after this battle," Tokiomi suggested seriously: "Although it is good news for me that you are still the supervisor this time, your age is really..."
"Don't worry, I'm sensible," Li Zheng continued to scan the spiritual weapon plate: "It seems that you will return in vain this time. They probably guessed that you had some method of monitoring the location of heroic spirits and knocked out the rider.
"
In the "water basin", a huge light spot representing the rider is parked in the downtown area of Fuyuki Shinto.
"I remember... that was the location of a certain video game arcade?" Tokiomi thought of Iskandar's huge size and bold demeanor, and couldn't help pinching his forehead: "If he causes any trouble, I have to ask you for help.
hidden."
"Haha, it's my job." Li Zheng agreed with a smile, and then turned his attention to another mountainous area deep in the mountains that had no magic response at all.
That location was the second magic workshop built by the Edelfeld sisters. Because it was very similar to the first one that had just been destroyed, and because its shielding magic had not completely failed and appeared and disappeared, it was in Fuyuki's.
It is called "Ghost Mansion" in ghost stories.

The rider was wearing a black suit and walked in the lobby of "Hanamura Arcade", followed by a dozen children who were shouting "Wow, a huge orangutan".
His huge body and ferocious appearance made the waitresses in the arcade turn pale with fear, but they still firmly stopped Iskandar from touching games that require physical strength, such as boxing, basketball, and dance machines.
—After all, this big foreign guy has amazing power and has already destroyed several machines.
Ever since Lancer died, Sora has become very sad. Although his mind seems to be normal, from time to time he will suddenly hug Kenneth and cry or ask for marriage or something, and then neither of them will say goodbye.
Want to continue working.
"This is arrogance!" Weber said the strange adjective he didn't know where he learned it from, but it was very appropriate: "The teacher has been arrogant for a long time, and suddenly she was so arrogant that she couldn't recover for a day or two.
, so now it’s up to me to decide on Kenneth’s camp!”
Iskandar actually didn't care about obeying the orders of this slender little master, but the problem was that his first order was to let himself go - play games?
"I checked the surroundings carefully, and everyone in the Tohsaka camp came in a straight line," Weber said: "It is impossible for a teacher's level to place a tracker or leak information from the mansion business."
"Remove all impossibilities, no matter how incredible the remaining guess is, it must be the truth." Weber, a British man, seemed to be imitating a local detective: "That is, Tokiomi Tosaka has some kind of device that can monitor the location of heroic spirits.
means!"
According to Weber, letting Rider play games is also a way to attract attention. In that kind of downtown area, even if he does nothing, Tokiomi Tosaka, as the manager of Fuyuki, must stay focused and be ready to cover up accidents at any time.
But except for those sports game consoles that are easily damaged, if Iskandar grabs the joystick and flicks the six buttons, it will just pull its control board straight off-at least the controller purchased for the home console is
Pressed with fingers.
"You must have cheated!" "Haha, I said that all the treasures in the world belong to me."
Looking at the silver girl wearing a purple suit and skirt not far away and the golden young man wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans next to her, Rider rubbed his nose and walked over.
