Seeing the tense scene before him, Shen Qiu remained expressionless. He simply tapped the table, and a cappuccino appeared in front of him.
Then, the illusion spell on Adano Ryori was dispelled.
Anna also withdrew the Undying Blade from her hand and sat down next to Shen Qiu again.
"Consider this a warning, Miss Adashino Ryori. If I'm not mistaken, I still have an old score to settle with the Clock Tower. If it weren't for that Grand Marshal's intercession—"
"Perhaps Mr. Nero Chaos's body has already been left in Kanbushi City."
After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Ryori Hideyuki took a deep breath. Yes, she had forgotten the true identity of the young man in front of her. At the meeting of the Secret Ritual Bureau, there was also Nero Chaos, who had struggled to return.
All of this indicates that the relationship between the Clock Tower and this existing mage has reached a freezing point.
The two were speaking in a language that no one else could understand, and El-Melloi II breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Qiu really didn't intend to kill him.
If a real fight breaks out, they have absolutely no chance of winning.
On this train that collects magical eyes, the attendants and the conductor do not interfere with the battles between magicians; on the contrary, they seem to be happy to see it happen.
"I am very sorry for making such a rude remark."
Once recovered, Ryori Hideyuki stood up and bowed towards Shen Qiu and Anna. The commotion they caused had already attracted the attention of all the magicians present.
"Hey, I heard the winner of the last Holy Grail War boarded this train. If I have time, I have some questions I'd like to ask him."
Just as the group was recovering, a typical young lady's voice broke the silence in the train once again. The person standing in the carriage was named Olga Marie Asmirette Amsfia.
"It seems that people from the Clock Tower have a hard time learning to respect others, don't you think, Ms. Adashino?"
After downing his cappuccino in one gulp, Shen Qiu put down his enamel teacup, stood up, and looked in Olga Marie's direction.
Her three-tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, and this time she wasn't as gentle as Heroka.
"Young Miss, get out of the way! It's the Demon Eye!"
Upon seeing Shen Qiu's actions, the beautiful servant named Theresa immediately pushed Olga Marie behind her and simultaneously opened her pair of purple demonic eyes.
However, in just one glance, Theresa fell to her knees and let out a piercing scream.
No one knows what she saw, nor does anyone know what she went through. All people know is that she is now in unbearable pain, unable to live or die.
"Shouldn't a visionary like Future Vision look me straight in the eye? Are they just waiting to die?"
Shen Qiu looked calmly at Theresa, who was kneeling on the ground and wailing pitifully. Even the Demon Eye has two levels: the divine era and the modern era.
The levels of the Magic Eye are: Unranked, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Gem, and Rainbow.
However, in modern times, due to the massive leaks of the mystical side and the emergence of artificial magic eyes, magic eyes have become rampant and uncontrollable.
The bronze-level magic eyes of the Age of Gods are comparable to the gold-level magic eyes of the modern era.
The Sharingan with three tomoe is roughly comparable to the Silver level of the Age of Gods, the Mangekyou Sharingan is comparable to the Gold level of the Age of Gods, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is comparable to the Gem level.
The Rinnegan, with its immense destructive power, high applicability, and mastery of the power of rules, is roughly between the Gem and Rainbow level in the Age of Gods, but in modern times, it would undoubtedly be the Earth Rainbow level.
"Teresa, what's wrong with you, Teresa! Teresa! You bastard, I'll kill you!"
Seeing her maid, who had taken care of her since childhood, suddenly treated like this, Olga Marie, who had always been the daughter of the Lord of Astrophysics and was used to everyone flattering her, lost her mind and raised her hand to point at Shen Qiu.
However, before she could fire the magic bullet in her hand, it was rolled up by Adano Ryori's long kimono.
"Apologize to him, that's the only way."
As the only person on this train who knew Shen Qiu's true identity, Hirori Adashino wisely decided to stop Olga Marie.
She simply couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if she truly angered this mage.
A mage? That's a mage! The example of Nero Chaos, and the serious warning from the Archmage Gemstone Onzelridge to the Bureau of Mystic Arts, still haunt her to this day.
"What a joke! In a place like Japan where magic is scarce, why should the so-called nobles, who have long since declined, accept an apology from the Amsfia family!"
Even now, this young lady remains stubborn.
"Ah, it's alright. Just watch your servant die miserably before your eyes. It will probably last for three days and three nights. During this time, you can hear her screams."
After hearing Olga Marie's reply, Shen Qiu adopted an indifferent attitude, turned around, and was about to take Anna back to the guest room. It was already evening, and although he didn't need to, Anna needed to rest.
However, just as he had taken two steps, the voice of the Chaldea director from another dimension rang out.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Matou Aki."
“On behalf of the Amsfia family, I sincerely apologize to you for offending you. We have some questions for you. Don’t worry, there will be a reward.”
After hearing Shen Qiu's answer, the young lady finally put down her airs, sighed softly, and then dispelled the illusion that was attached to Theresa.
"I know what you're going to ask, it's about the Holy Grail War, isn't it? Tch, all that boring stuff. Miss Olga Marie, take your servant back to her room; she probably won't wake up for a long time."
"As for Lord El-Melloi II, you can listen to his story if you're interested."
In a dark corner of the carriage, auctioneer Leondra, whose eyes were covered by burlap, silently watched everything that was happening, neither coming out to stop it nor making any move.
"Can we determine any outcome?"
The train conductor, Rodin, who was also observing this scene, asked.
"Judging from what has happened so far, it is most likely an illusion-type Mystic Eye, and the level of the Mystic Eye should be extremely high. Just a glance is enough to instantly incapacitate a magician with considerable combat power."
"Moreover, judging from what he said, it's not just an illusion; if the user doesn't actively break free, the victim could be tortured to death by the illusion."
"It is tentatively speculated that it is the magic eye between gold and gemstones."
"Let's find someone to continue probing. I suspect those eyes have more than just illusion abilities. I have a feeling they might be gem-level, or even rainbow-level, magical eyes..."
Another carriage.
"I believe you already know most of the general course of the Holy Grail War through various channels and El-Melloi II's testimony. What you are concerned about is the final victor who obtained the so-called omnipotent wish-granting machine."
"But I regret to inform you that in the end, there will be no 0.5 winner in the Fourth Holy Grail War. Everyone will be a loser, including myself."
Shen Qiu's two casually uttered sentences immediately ignited the fervor of everyone present.
The one who reacted the most was naturally El-Melloi II, who had personally experienced the Holy Grail War.
"What a joke! A battle between seven people and seven heroic spirits, filled with schemes and calculations, bloodshed and terror, is utterly worthless in your mouth?"
"That's not what I meant. The so-called Holy Grail was already corrupted during the last Holy Grail War due to the Einzbern family's illegal summoning. The omnipotent wish-granting machine has turned into a raging fire that devours everything."
“But Weber Velvet.”
At this point, Shen Qiu changed El-Melloi II's name to Weber.
"The significance of the Holy Grail War lies not only in this, but more importantly in something called bonds, like the teacher-student relationship between me and Caster, the Queen of the Land of Shadows, Scáthach, which still influences me to this day."
“I think Weber also gained something more important than that.”
At this point, everyone felt a sense of irony.
Seven people, seven Heroic Spirits summoned from the Throne of Heroes, actually fought with all their might for that thing, even sacrificing their lives.
This is the cruelest truth of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"How much of what he said do you think is true?"
"You mean...the Holy Grail War?"
On the way back, Ryori Adashino, dressed in a purple kimono, asked Lord El-Melloi II a question.
After hearing what Ryori Adano said, the Lord of the Modern Magic Department of the Clock Tower stood still and remained silent for a long time.
“When he was telling us these things, his eyes were calm, his facial muscles were still, and his heart and pulse were beating steadily. If we analyze it based on this alone, he probably wasn’t lying.”
"Furthermore... after the Holy Grail War ended, Fuyuki City did indeed experience a massive fire, just as he said, which perfectly corresponds to what he described as all the evil in this world."
'So, in my judgment, he probably wasn't lying.'
El-Melloi II did not view Shen Qiu with prejudice, even though he himself knew that his defeat was entirely related to Matou Qiu. Having formed an alliance with Emiya Kiritsugu, he used the power of the King of Knights to defeat his Sevent—Iskandar.
Even a mighty army, like that of a king, was annihilated by the brilliance of the sword called Oath and Victory.
"Wait, wait, wait! Professor El-Melloi II, someone has slipped a note through the crack in the door!"
Just then, Kaules's shout interrupted their conversation.
"See you in the cargo room tomorrow afternoon."
Inside the guest room on the other side.
The room was filled with all sorts of desserts, big and small: strawberry cake, cream cake, apple pie, pineapple pie, mango mousse, mango pomelo sago...
Anna, having removed her hood, revealed her stunning beauty. She picked up a spoon and began scooping out the dessert beside her, while Shen Qiu gazed out the gray window.
“Anna, you can’t stay in the house for now. I have some things to do. I’ll come back when I’m done,” Shen Qiu said gently.
"Yes! If you need anything, just let me know, Master. I can arrive in just one second."
After patting Anna's head, Shen Qiu walked out of his and Anna's guest room with a gloomy expression.
There was no other reason than that his clairvoyance and future vision had been activated for the first time.
The boy walked expressionlessly through one carriage after another. The further he went, the fewer passengers there were on the train, until he reached the last carriage.
The train carriage had no lights, and everything inside was pitch black.
"Since we're already here, why hide?"
"why."
