Chapter 385: Identity Mystery and the Concept of Additional Discovery Rewards
The street next to the Matou residence.

After witnessing the satisfied Gilgamesh decisively choose to [transform into a spirit] and leave.

The red archer, who had already seized the opportunity to communicate with the man, took only a few seconds to think of a way to communicate with the man walking towards him.

He even simulated and conceived several different response plans in his mind.

So that no matter what response the other party makes, the conversation can be continued to achieve the purpose of introducing this Yuta Otsutsukoshi.

He even thought of an excuse to leave quickly.

Just when the red archer looked at Fang Yi walking slowly towards him through the sea of ​​flowers and mist.

As the sea of ​​flowers faded, the fatigue caused by the "black mud" in the body returned.

As the memory becomes clearer in my mind.

He opened his mouth subconsciously, but still failed to utter the words he had prepared.

All he did was to wrap the [Holy Shroud] on his body tighter without leaving any trace, and uttered a normal greeting in a very calm manner.

"Long time no see, Saber."

Then he gave Yuta Okkotsu next to him a slight push and quickly explained his purpose.

"Although it seems that the time for me and this gentleman who wants to discuss a lucrative commission with you is not very appropriate.

"But I think you wouldn't mind spending a little time to try to listen to the details of this reward that's delivered to your door?

"Would you like to reconsider the feasibility of cooperating with this gentleman?"

Hearing the red archer's words, Fang Yi raised his brows slightly.

After taking a look at this unusual red archer who looked like he was cosplaying from the past, and was wearing a linen [Holy Shroud].

The confusion in his heart had been growing at an exponential rate since he fought alongside the red archer and killed the reincarnationist.

[Which timeline does this red archer come from? ]

[Why did he wear the [Sacred Shroud] that he used during his time as the [Guardian] of the [Suppressive Force]?]

[Before he reconciled with me, that was a time he must have hated so much that he even wanted to [forget] it!]

After using [Encyclopedia of Memory] to recall the other party's 'abnormal behavior' since his 'appearance'.

Fang Yi felt that there were unusually many suspicious points about the other party.

Except that the other party's [Inherent Barrier] that reflects the mental image is very strange.

The power of the [Crane Wing Triple Combo] performed by using the two [Gan Jiang and Mo Ye] swords is extremely extraordinary.

The other party even mastered a 'healing magic' that was very similar to the [reversal technique].

After thinking about the special case of a female general who was a native and became a reincarnation, Fang Yi had already thought about testing the other party's identity.

He pondered for a while, then stroked the sheathed [California Clear Light] in his hand.

He glanced at Empress Okkotsu Yu, who was standing beside him with her hands clasped together and slightly bowed, with a smile on her face that gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.

Looking at the panel, he verified by his main god number that all reincarnations can participate in the [Competitive Main Quest: François' Invitation].

And the satisfaction of [François's Attention] can be automatically distributed. In theory, loopholes can be exploited, and the conflicts between reincarnations are not very great. Task benefits.

He cleverly used the two François who were still in "Feather Fall" to test the two of them.

“Oh, a paid commission?
"I'm quite interested, but I can't abandon these two incredibly mischievous 'friends' who need to be 'treated kindly'.

"After all, I still have a score to settle with them. I need to interrogate them before considering how to deal with them.

"Do you want to join in?"

He revealed to the two of them his idea of ​​ending the mission and starting to "eat alone", turning the acquisition of benefits into a single-plank bridge that required contact with them.

He also threw out the bait of quickly increasing [François's attention] to gain benefits from the space.

Fang Yi stared at the red archer and Yuta Okkotsu without leaving any trace.

He also had a standard smile on his face.

[So, how will you react to this free credit that is within your reach? ]
-
The red archer only glanced at François and Francesca who were still struggling.

After sensing the source of the infection of the [Spiritual Base], he also realized that the other party was using the method of [Illegal Summoning].

After thinking about the man's attitude towards the enemy, he already knew the fate of these two people.

He shook his head regretfully and spread out his hands.

He gave a helpless smile and uttered the excuse he had prepared in advance to leave.

“I’m sorry, Saber.

"Although I am very interested in the inside information about the Holy Grail War that these two villains have revealed.

"But my Master seems to need my support more now."

After cleverly using Emiya Kiritsugu, who was at the mouth of the Mion River, as a shield, he realized his idea of ​​not having any further contact with the other party.

The red archer turned his head and looked at Yuta Okkotsu, who was very interested in Fang Yi's proposal, and said goodbye.

"Since this Saber is willing to discuss cooperation with you, Mr. Otsutsuki Yuuta.

"Then my mission is over."

Although he decided to leave, looking at the boy in front of him who was a stranger to him and whom he had never met before, he still chose to save him.

The red archer added another apology.

"I'm very sorry, because of Master's matter, I can't help you more now.

"This guidance obviously cannot be considered as a reward."

The red archer raised a finger and made a promise.

“So, as long as our positions are not in conflict, I still owe you one.

"Please contact me if you need anything within the next four days, or before the end of this [Holy Grail War]."

Without waiting for the two to respond, the red archer took one last look at the quiet sea of ​​flowers.

He raised his head again to look at the sky which was no longer magnificent, and with a nostalgic look he gave Fang Yi a meaningful blessing.

"Goodbye then, Saber.

“Although our cooperation has long ended.

"But before I leave, please allow me to add a greeting and blessing that is in keeping with the times.

"Good morning, Saber. I hope you have a nice day today."

After saying this, he sighed in his heart.

[For the sake of [Wish] and the mission, choosing to leave here now and avoid further contact with him should be the best option.]

Thinking of this, the red archer showed a very friendly smile on his face and waved to Fang Yi.

He turned into a spirit very quickly and left amid Yuta Otsutsukota's shouts of "Mr. Caster".
-
It is a pity that the identity of the red archer was not further verified.

But through the name of the red archer and the brief glimpse he caught of the expression on Yuta Okkotsu's face that showed his desire to increase "François's attention."

After recalling the bandit's (Disma) mission and the unusual plot.

He looked at the [Agent Robe] the other person was wearing, and combined it with the information about the unknown "Scavenger" mentioned by Miss Zhuang earlier.

He has already locked on the other party's identity.

[The 'Scavenger' who joined the mission through the [Joining Midway] method on the Samsara side. One of the seven people, and the last friendly person besides Miss Zhuang.]

He subconsciously stroked the [California Clear Light] beside him and glanced at the [Protagonist] card in his personal space.

After recalling these two pieces of equipment that were produced by the high-difficulty "Scavenger" series of tasks and later given to me by the robbers.

He immediately recognized the other party's value and figured out his position. [He must have good, high-quality props and skills worth learning. Collaborating with him is mutually beneficial.]

[To be on the safe side, let's quickly brush up on the friendship level first. ]

[Well, you can even give him a sip of the free 'soup' first.]

After designing the plan at light speed, he turned to Yuta Otsutsuki who was a little hesitant and didn't know how to continue the conversation.

"Are you interested in interrogating these two people?

"It looks like we have something in common.

"But in order not to waste time, let's first discuss how to cooperate and how to keep secrets."

When he heard Fang Yi's suggestion, Yuta Otsutsu's eyes lit up.

He looked at the [Binding] skill on his panel, which was at [lv11].

He began to describe the function of this skill.

"I have a very strong skill when it comes to keeping secrets.

“This skill requires.”

When Fang Yi was trying to trick Sukuna into giving him his finger, he interrupted the other party's narration in a frivolous manner after hearing Sukuna's "teacher" narration.

Then he attached the positive energy of [Reversal Technique·Strengthening] to his hand and stretched out his hand towards Yuta Otsutsuki.

"I know, the name of this skill is [Binding], right?"

When Fang Yi revealed the name of this skill and sensed the iconic positive energy of [Reversal Technique], Yuta Otsutsukoshi was horrified.

He widened his eyes in disbelief and asked Fang Yi tentatively.

"you are?"

"When I get back, I'll say hello to Miss Jiujiu and tell her not to forget the information I gave her.

"Don't forget to express your gratitude to Dongtang for arriving in time to save me."

When Fang Yi mentioned the special-grade magician, Kujuku Yuki, Yuta Otsutsukota instantly became excited.

"You are the magician who awakened in the battle of Shibuya and turned the tide of the battle!!

“You also accepted the space offer?
"Tiger Stick is..."

Seeing this, Yuta Otsutsukota's trust in him increased greatly, and he heard the report of "Master, something has happened" from the swordsman lady who was sent elsewhere in his mind.

Fang Yi waved his hand to stop the other party and proposed a 'borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha' style plan to exploit the space loophole to gain points.

"I'll take the lion's share of the profits from the competitive mission, so I can't give up the lives of those two people.

"But I can help you increase your [François's Attention Level] and earn some points."

Yuta Otsutsuki lowered his head, a trace of shame flashing across his face.

"How can this be? I clearly have nothing..."

Fang Yi, who was already impatient to review his harvest and learn the intelligence, directly interrupted the other party's excuse.

"Then I'll leave the two defenseless François to you for now.

"Please move them to the basement of this house so I can deal with them.

"I need to take a break, and then we can discuss cooperation again."

Fang Yi controlled the [Frozen Cloud] to throw the two of them under the eaves of the Matou residence. He pointed the direction of the basement to Yuta Otsutsukota and walked directly back to the hall.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will need to make some arrangements based on the information obtained from Miss Swordsman.
-
"Master, I have gained something from my covert observation at the Tohsaka residence.

"I saw the Command Seals reappear on the back of the hand of the man named Kotomine Kirei.

"It seems that he was the one who was communicating with the people from the Holy Church and the Magic Association today, not that Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"Please advise."

Fang Yi, who was sitting in the magic workshop of the Matou residence, heard these words and immediately looked at Zhuang Zhengyan beside him.

And Miss Zhuang was staring at Miss Merlin, as if internally questioning herself when her teacher had hooked up with Fang Yi.

He turned his head and gave Fang Yi the key information.

"My mission regarding [Tōsaka Tokiomi] has changed.

"The reason given by the space is [Rewards issued by the character may not be given. The mission has changed. Please proceed with caution.]"

Fang Yi instantly thought of the "dead 'bug'" mentioned by Gilgamesh and had a guess.

He instantly looked at Miss Zhuang, who had a good friendship level in the Toosaka camp and had also gained friendship levels with [Toosaka Rin] and [Toosaka Aoi].

Looking at the buff of [Greatly increased spell skill learning speed within 96 hours] and the [Binding] skill that greatly increases [Spell Skills] through [Frozen Cloud], he was convinced.

The idea of ​​further exploring additional rewards, or even getting some free magic, instantly emerged in his mind.

He gave the swordsman lady the order to "evacuate the Tohsaka residence and monitor the Hyatt Hotel where Kenneth is."

Then he immediately reminded Miss Zhuang.

"Do you have the contact information for Tohsaka and her daughter?

"If you have time, please contact these two and go to the Tohsaka residence.

"It should be possible to trigger a mission that only you can trigger, and get good returns."

Miss Zhuang was stunned at first, and then she instantly understood what the man meant.

"Tōsaka Tokiomi is dead?
"Is there a chance I can get those collections of books and some good Magic from these two people?"

Fang Yi nodded and added a corollary.

"If nothing unexpected happened, it was Kotomine Kirei who killed him. You can do it."

Without questioning Fang Yi, Miss Zhuang stood up instantly and turned to look at Miss Merlin beside her.

The two women looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

Miss Merlin patted her chest and made a promise.

“Within my barrier, those two François have no chance of escaping.

"That Otsutsuki Yuta who's skilled in [Boundary Technique] also has a way to control them.

"To be on the safe side, I'll go with you, Master."

With the help of [illusion], the two of them left the house in an instant, ready to fight for some rights for the orphan girl and her widowed mother.

But before leaving, Miss Merlin playfully added something to Fang Yi in her heart.

[Mr. Fang Yi, I will be back with the Master as soon as possible.]

[I just hope that next time you do something pleasurable like that, you can take that thing off first.]

It was obvious that Miss Merlin was a little dissatisfied with Fang Yi's previous behavior of "tricking" her.

As the two women left.

In an instant, the entire workshop fell silent.

Apart from Fang Yi, the only one left was Aozaki Touko, who was concentrating on making props to interrogate François in depth.

Fang Yi, who began to count the mission gains, turned his attention to the [List of Respect] mission and the [Fox Fur Crane Cloak] named [Collection].

[Respect List] I took two skills from Li Shuwen.

Both of these skills can benefit from the [Fox Fur Crane Cloak].

This [Collection] is a rare item that can affect non-reincarnators.
