"My master," a body of Assassin appeared next to Kotomine Kirei, "while tracking Caster and the Saber team, I found traces of the eighth heroic spirit."
"Eighth place?" Kotomine Kirei stood near the floor-to-ceiling window, and the silver moonlight only illuminated the lower half of his face.
"Yes," Assassin had no doubts, and directly put the blame on the real Caster: "It should be the eighth heroic spirit summoned in violation of regulations. He has obvious mental flaws and is extremely obsessed with Saber."
"In addition, the illegal heroic spirit calls himself caster, and the various indicators should also be——"
"I understand," Kotomine Kirei turned around, "Have you found any trace of Master Caster?"
"No, Caster's Master did not show up. Maybe Caster has a way to contact his Master."
"So……"
Kotomine Kirei held the cross on his chest.
"...Is it true that Saber is the key?"
That white-haired woman should be the artificial life form of the Einzbern family. Let the artificial life form become its master? Will Emiya Kiritsugu do this?
"As expected, I still...want to meet Emiya Kiritsugu."

Tick.
Blood dripped to the ground.
"Ah, no, no, no."
Ryunosuke Usuki threw away the sharp carving knife, stepped forward and carefully pinched the delicate fingers belonging to a young child, and gently turned them in an arc.
"Thumbs should look like this."
He stepped back and took a look, "It's really good~"
…
The young child was nailed to the wall, and blood flowed all over the floor. Only the gently trembling fingers could prove the existence of the breath of life.
This is the work of Ryunosuke Ubuu.
――And, there is more than one work.
…
Caster's figure appeared in this blood-stained space.
"Ah, you're back, sir." Ryunosuke Uyu said hello to Caster, who was obviously smelling bad, just like he would normally greet his family.
Caster didn't answer, he just walked over and, out of anger, grabbed the child's head and blew it open while he was nailed to the wall.
"Ah -" Ryunosuke Uyu ran over with a heartbroken look on his face, "Why is this like this!"
Caster shook his hand fiercely and threw the blood on the blood-stained wall, "The hateful God still refuses to loosen the shackles of Jeanne d'Arc's soul!"
Caster roared angrily: "Even impostors with evil intentions have tampered with Joan of Arc's memory!"
"Joan of Arc?"
Ryunosuke Uyu asked in confusion: "Is that the woman you saw in the crystal ball?"
Caster didn't answer him, and was immersed in anger and madness.
"So, we are going to do something even more unethical and blasphemous! We will pile up mountains of blasphemous sacrifices!"
"Um, that means..." Ryunosuke Yusei thought seriously for a while.
“We’re going to start chasing quantity… giving up quality?”
"Yes, absolutely correct! As expected of Ryunosuke." Caster finally became more "normal".
"First use the eleven people in the prison as sacrifices, and then add new children."
caster left here.
"..."
Ryuunosuke Ubu was a little troubled.
"But...there are very few unsupervised children..."
"Then add the boy——"
Caster's voice came from afar, "It doesn't matter if you're not a child. It doesn't matter. As long as it can corrupt morals and blaspheme even more, everything doesn't matter!"
…………
――――
I stood in front of the tragic ruins with a broken face.
What happened.
…………
I was supposed to follow Saber and the others to join forces... ah, no, they formed an alliance.
But from the radio in the car, I heard-
"...No injured persons were found. The relevant departments believe that this was a gas explosion accident. However, our reporter questioned whether the victims of such a powerful explosion had no bones left..."
…………
The king's house?
- Damn it!
My house was bombed--!!!
I almost jumped out of the car on the spot, pretending to be calm, Saber and the others said, "The master is in trouble, I want to support you." Then I politely rejected their offer to help, saying, "I will naturally save my ministers."
The big lightbulb on the back of his head flew back.
Who is so wicked as to bomb my home!
I also have two uncles staying at home, don’t let them all be killed by the explosion!

――――
At the same time, the Holy Church.
"It has been determined that the master of the illegal heroic spirit is the culprit behind the recent case of missing children. Since the master of the illegal heroic spirit broke the rules of the Holy Grail War, I will use the emergency supervision authority."
"Temporarily changing the rules, all Masters will immediately stop fighting with each other and use all their strength to annihilate the group of illegal Heroic Spirits. And for those who annihilate the illegal Heroic Spirits and their Masters, as a special measure, I will give them additional Command Spells."
"The Holy Grail War will continue after the disappearance of the offending heroic spirit group is confirmed."

I was sitting on a park bench thinking about life.
This is quite a troublesome thing. Don't just look at arranging your identity and arranging your house. This is all due to the will of the universe. When it's my turn to clean up the mess, I really can't bother anymore.
This copy only lasts until the end of the Holy Grail War, and based on what Kenneth and Sola said, "I can prove it to you right away," I can tell that the Holy Grail War will definitely not last long.
If I don't make a disappearance now and find out that the owner of the King's House is here, I may have to directly tinker with the explosion of the house for months.
Not to mention anything else, the police also suspected that I had a ton of tnt piled up in my house...
...it's really frustrating.
I'm a little crazy.
…
This little park is a great place.
Swings, slides, and sandpits are very popular facilities for children.
However, at this time when it is not yet dark, the place where children should be chattering and playing is deserted, and even the homeless people who sleep in the park at night are nowhere to be seen.
I repeatedly kicked away the ball that some kid had left here, watching it bounce back, and then I kicked it out again, thinking about whether Kenneth and Sola were still alive.
Although the two of them are annoying and bossy like two uncles, after all, they have been together for a few days, and everyone will feel a sudden shock if the person they know is gone.
What's more, I'm going to be a professional hero in the future, so I can't just ignore this kind of thing.
I also sneaked in to take a look at the ruins, and there was indeed no sign of anyone being killed. There was also a surprising place in the hall, which seemed to be a round ground that was firmly protected, blocking the scorched marks of the explosion.
Outside, it seemed as if there was a spherical thing covering this place.
I think this may be the basis for Kenneth's survival.
After all, he is a magician of some kind. Unlike the visual deception magicians who perform performances, he is a real magician. It is normal for a magician who can defy the law of conservation of mass to have one or two means of self-protection——
"Why are you out there alone?"
The kicked ball did not bounce back, but was stepped on under a shoe, blocking a shadow in front of me.
"Hello, my name is Yubu Ryuunosuke."
The orange-haired young man smiled brightly at me against the light, picked up the ball and sat down next to me.
"Did you quarrel with your family and run away from home? If you have any troubles, tell me. I will be happy to help you answer your questions."
"……not at all."
I moved to the side because of the goosebumps on my arms.
This person...I don't know why, but it gives me a very uncomfortable feeling.
I turned around and looked at him again.
...Well, he seems to be a normal big brother who is eager to persuade rebellious teenagers. Although I am not what he imagined, running away from home is a bit embarrassing.
