Genshin Impact, but the chat group

If it were the old Kiritsugu Emiya, he might have chosen to ignore someone who had stumbled into the Holy Grail War in order to achieve his ultimate goal. But knowing what the Holy Grail was, he naturally wouldn't let the young student die in vain. So Kiritsugu Emiya grabbed his submachine gun and chased after Lancer.

In the corridor of the teaching building, Lancer caught up with the red-haired student and prepared to stab him to death.

Kiritsugu Emiya, who arrived just in time, immediately fired a shot to stop him, but the bullets, after flying to Lancer's side, turned and flew away, landing on the ground to either side.

"Ok?"

The sudden appearance of the bullet piqued Lancer's curiosity. He turned to look at Kiritsugu Emiya, carrying his blood-red spear.

"Who are you? A magician participating in this Holy Grail War?"

The sudden appearance of a stranger, who even stopped him from killing the civilians who had stumbled into the Holy Grail War, piqued his interest.

I just ran into Archer, does this mean I'm about to encounter another group?

"Leave that boy."

Kiritsugu Emiya held a pistol in one hand, aiming at Lancer, and spoke coldly.

"Oh? This is just an ordinary person who has intruded into the Holy Grail War; they should be dealt with."

The red-haired boy lying on the ground listened to their conversation and realized that he seemed to have stumbled into something terrible, and he became very nervous.

However, upon hearing Kiritsugu Emiya's voice, he froze, and after a moment of stunned silence, he immediately sat up and looked at Kiritsugu Emiya.

Yes, it's him! It's Kiritsugu!

The man who had left him has returned!

The excited red-haired boy shouted directly at Kiritsugu Emiya.

"father!"

Lancer and Kiritsugu Emiya were both stunned.

"Is this your son?"

"Um... I don't know."

329. Starting with a high-explosive grenade is quite reasonable for an assassin, right?

The sudden arrival of his son left Kiritsugu Emiya somewhat bewildered.

He was only there to prevent the boy from being killed by Lancer, so how did he suddenly end up with a son?

Could it be his own son from this timeline?

No, this person looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old, a high school student. Does that mean the son was born before World War IV?

So early!?

No, there's an Ilya in this world too. In that timeline, I should have already married into the Einzbern family. How could I have a son? That can't be right!

"Dad, are you back?"

Kiritsugu Emiya was puzzled, but Shirou Emiya had already begun to speak again.

"So he really is your son, right?"

Lancer listened to Shirou Emiya's words and asked Kiritsugu Emiya again. Kiritsugu Emiya was not quite sure about the situation either, so he did not answer but instead asked Shirou Emiya.

"What's your name?"

"Shirou, Shirou Emiya."

Shirou Emiya honestly revealed his name, which stunned Kiritsugu Emiya.

Emiya? Could he really be this world's son? Right, that girl from the Tohsaka family said she knew another person named Emiya. Could she be referring to this kid?

This world's own son... or you could say, his own son.

"Okay, he is indeed my son."

Kiritsugu Emiya acknowledged Shirou Emiya's identity.

"So you're a magician?"

Lancer asked Kiritsugu Emiya another question.

“That’s right, but I am not the master of the Holy Grail War, so Lancer, leave him.”

"I see. He's a magician, so he knows about the Holy Grail War. And as the son of a magician, he naturally knows about the Holy Grail War as well. In that case, it doesn't count as violating the rules of the Holy Grail War."

When Lancer is about to kill, he is ruthless, but when he doesn't need to kill, the situation is completely different.

Do you think I would believe you so easily?

Lancer brandished his spear, pointing it at Kiritsugu Emiya.

"You seemed completely clueless when faced with my questions just now, but now you're treating him like a son. While I can understand your desire to protect the young as a magician, I'm sorry, but I must obey my master's orders."

With that, Lancer swung his spear and thrust it into Shirou Emiya's chest.

This scene was also witnessed by Archer and Rin Tohsaka, who arrived later.

"Emiya!?"

Rin Tohsaka watched in surprise as Lancer stabbed Shirou Emiya; she hadn't expected Lancer to be chasing her classmate.

At this critical moment, a dagger appeared and blocked Lancer's blood-red spear.

"Ok?"

Lancer looked at the man blocking her way in surprise.

"you are?"

He was met with a powerful kick, and Lancer immediately raised his spear to block it, but the impact of the kick sent him staggering back five meters before he came to a stop.

"Looks like I'm really lucky, I've run into another servant. By the way, you're not going to save this guy too, are you? Is this guy also your son?"

Kiritsugu Emiya listened to Lancer's words without saying anything, but he muttered to himself that perhaps in this timeline, the boy named Shirou Emiya really was his son.

After repositioning himself, Lancer held a long spear, the tip of which was pointed at the person blocking his way.

"So, what kind of agency are you?"

"assassin!"

Rin Tohsaka immediately called out the other party's class. The newcomer was none other than the [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu], played by Li Yue. He held a dagger expressionlessly and stared coldly at Lancer.

"Just as she said, I am an assassin."

"You mere assassin dare to appear in front of me, Lancer? You've got some nerve, haven't you?"

Lancer didn't doubt the job agency information Li Yue revealed; instead, she directly mocked it.

"So, would you like to witness the power of a mere Assassin?"

Li Yue spoke coldly, making the threat plain to the naked.

When Kiritsugu Emiya saw Li Yue appear, he put away his pistol with great relief. He was joking, thinking, "My future self is here, so there's no need for me to be nervous now. Assassin is just something to fool these fools. In a moment, my future self will show you what the power of Assassin really is!"

"Is that so? Then let me see for myself."

Lancer glanced at Rin Tohsaka and Archer who were following behind him.

"Archer, this assassin seems to want to fight me first. Do you want to gang up on me with him, or just watch?"

"Since Assassin said he wants to fight you, as a young man, I respect his choice."

The Heroic Spirit Emiya simply chose to watch. If his father wanted to fight, then let him fight. However, if his father couldn't defeat this Lancer and encountered danger, he would not hesitate to step in.

"Well, we can't clear out the witnesses, so we'll just have to fight for now."

Lancer, however, did not seem troubled.

"And more than any other command, I prefer fighting!"

Lancer, whose real name is Cú Chulainn, is the Irish Son of Light in Celtic mythology. He is a powerful demigod who is very skilled in and loves to fight. This time, he was summoned as a Lancer and he longed for a good fight. Unfortunately, the master who is controlling him did not release him for battle, but to let him gather information about other Servants and Masters. It is the kind of mission that involves a little probing and then leaving.

This task was not to his liking, but he had no choice; his master had given him the order, and he could only do it.

Lancer jumped directly through the corridor window into the atrium. He and Archer had been fighting in the atrium when they saw Shirou Emiya, so he chased him into the classroom. Now he had run back to the atrium.

Li Yue watched Lancer jump out, then followed him through the window and into the courtyard.

However, as he landed, something rolled down next to Lancer.

"Ok?"

Lancer looked at the object at his feet with a puzzled expression.

Boom——

An explosion occurred, and flames shot into the sky in an instant, causing the onlookers' eyelids to twitch.

Especially Rin Tohsaka and Archer, their necks shrank back, and Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but complain.

"This is just too...shameless! They started their sneak attack before even landing, and they even used..."

"High-explosive grenade."

Kiritsugu Emiya kindly explained to Rin Tohsaka what Li Yue had thrown out.

Rin Tohsaka nodded awkwardly, then continued to complain.

"Speaking of which, he really is worthy of being your future self. You also carry all kinds of guns and grenades. Even as a Heroic Spirit, you still use guns, daggers, and grenades. I really didn't expect that grenades would become Noble Phantasms one day."

The Heroic Spirit Emiya beside him nodded in agreement. Even if he became a Heroic Spirit in the future, his Noble Phantasms would still be traditional weapons. Even the sniper rifle he used on the Middle Eastern battlefield could not be considered a Noble Phantasm. On the contrary, his father, after becoming a Heroic Spirit, even brought grenades with him. He was really amazing. He was worthy of being called his father!

330. Lancer, eliminated after taking three consecutive explosions.

Lancer never expected that someone would use a sneak attack right from the start.

Li Yue simply jumped over the wall out of the classroom, and the things on her body fell off as if they had rolled off the ground. The whole process was very natural.

Then the thing that rolled near him exploded!

The Protection of Arrows is a buff that Lancer possesses, allowing him to dodge thrown or projectiles. If the opponent's Noble Phantasm is a thrown or projectile attack, he can even perfectly dodge it. It is a buff that looks weak but is actually very powerful.

Throughout the entire Fifth World War, thanks to this blessing, he was even able to entangle with Gilgamesh, a player with cheat codes, for half a day.

However, this protection cannot prevent area-of-effect explosion damage!

So, as soon as Li Yue came up, he threw out a high-explosive grenade, giving Lancer an explosive surprise right from the start.

In the firelight, Lancer reappeared. Compared to his previous confident demeanor, Lancer now looked somewhat disheveled, with burn marks on his face and a patch of his blue hair turning slightly black.
