In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

In the dark sewers of Fuyuki City, Caster tore at her scalp with her bare hands, her eyes filled with tears and hatred. "Aaaaaah! This must be a test for me! Only when I can discern who the true Holy Virgin is can I truly welcome her back!"

“I say, Lord Bluebeard.”

Ryunosuke Uryu scratched his chin. "If you're asking who's the real one, since she's a saint, isn't Saber more like her? Berserker's image just doesn't match the legendary saint, does it?"

"shallow!"

Caster's bulging eyes stared intently at Ryunosuke Uryu. "The Holy Virgin is of course perfect! But Saber is likely a fake created by the gods to imitate the perfect Holy Virgin. Berserker might be the real Holy Virgin! The reason she became like this is because of the gods' betrayal of her; it's a curse from the gods!"

"Didn't you already figure it out, Mr. Bluebeard?"

"I ask Ryunosuke Uryu," he asked, puzzled.

"But this could also be a trap!"

Caster stared wide-eyed at the girl in the crystal ball who was exterminating insects in the mansion. "Perhaps Saber is the real Virgin, but the gods are using my doubts about Him to make me mistakenly believe that Saber is fake and Berserker is real! So I must figure it out, I must figure out who my Virgin is!"

The Einzbern Castle was protected by a barrier, so he could no longer monitor Saber's movements.

However, Berserker has destroyed the barrier around the Matou residence, which allows him to continue observing.

Observe this girl who has the same appearance as the saintess, is she the real saintess or a damned imposter!

If it's true, he will definitely go to greet him in person.

If it is a counterfeit, he will surely punish it with divine retribution!

Chapter 226 There are two holy virgins, isn't that double the happiness?

"Fervor, mei sanguis!"

Irisviel chanted a spell in a low voice and poured all the mercury from the test tube onto the ground.

The sticky mercury fell to the ground like a self-disciplined protozoan, trembling and forming a sphere, guarding Irisviel.

"so amazing!"

Irisviel excitedly manipulated her new toy, making the spherical mercury change shape according to her wishes.

Because the Einzbern family only has androids, although the Einzbern family is a magician family with a history of thousands of years, it actually does not have any magic crests to pass on.

Irisviel possesses far more magic circuits than most magicians, and her talent as a magician is comparable to that of a true genius. However, due to the lack of a magic crest, she has to learn all her magic through trial and error, rather than relying on inheriting the wisdom of her predecessors to grow rapidly.

Even now, Irisviel can only control this Mystic Code by simply connecting the magic circuits to the Moon Spirit Fluid. But the Moon Spirit Fluid was designed from the beginning to directly connect to the magic crest.

This is why, although Irisviel, who lacks a magic crest, can manipulate the Moon Spirit Essence, she is far from being able to control it with complete ease.

However, thanks to the high functionality of the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid itself, which can automatically attack, automatically target enemies, and automatically defend, this costume can still be called an all-purpose weapon.

With the protection of the Moon Spirit Elixir, Irisviel would no longer be easily assassinated by Assassin.

"Irisviel!"

Saber let out a soft cry and swung her sword at Irisviel.

Irisviel immediately understood her idea, but before she could actively control the Moon Spirit Essence, the magical costume automatically expanded into a huge sphere, enveloping Irisviel and blocking Saber's sword.

clang!

Under Saber's slash, the ball of mercury looked as fragile as a mirror that would shatter at the slightest touch. But this seemingly fragile 'mercury mirror' did not break; although its surface rippled like water, it maintained its protective function.

However, when Saber swung her sword down again, the Moon Spirit Essence finally gave way and shattered into countless fragments on the ground with a 'crack'.

boom!

An invisible longsword sliced ​​through the ground, leaving a deep trench in the courtyard.

Saber sheathed his sword and gave a truthful assessment:

"Their defensive capabilities need improvement; it will be very difficult to block attacks from Servants."

She didn't use her full strength in her first attack; the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid was barely enough to block her sword's edge.

But with just a slight exertion of force, her second attack shattered the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid.

From her perspective, this Mystic Code was rather inadequate as a protector for Irisviel's safety. The Servants in this Holy Grail War were almost all heroes no less powerful than her; she could easily break through the Moon Spirit Fluid's defenses, and the other Servants certainly could too.

"It's just a magician's Mystic Code; no matter what, it can't compare to a Servant, right?"

Irisviel was still quite happy; having such power at least ensured she could withstand most attacks. Not everyone was like Saber, able to easily break through the Moon Spirit Fluid's defenses.

Most importantly, this was a gift from Yoshikage Kira!

"The protective function of Moon Spirit Essence Liquid is mainly concentrated on the magical level. If it is an attack launched by a magician, it can withstand it for a while, even if it is of color level. But if we talk about physical protection alone, it is indeed not that good."

have to say.

Director Ken is indeed a true genius.

Unfortunately, he focused too much on the study of magic and neglected the power of modern firearms.

Kira Yoshikage's explanation did not satisfy Saber; instead, it made her look up in confusion:

"Where did you get this Mystic Code?"

"It was a gift from Kenneth."

Kira Yoshikage replied without changing his expression.

"Kenneth?"

Saber was completely bewildered, while Irisviel exclaimed in surprise, "Is that the magician from the Clock Tower who came to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

"That's right, he's Lancer's Master?"

"Isn't Lancer an enemy? Why would he give us such an excellent Mystic Code? Does he want to form an alliance with us?"

"Well, you could call it an alliance."

Kira Yoshikage thought for a moment, and was about to explain when a truck drove up from a distance. In the driver's seat was a short-haired woman, Hisau Maiya, who was Kiritsugu Emiya's old flame.

Snapped!

Hisayu Maiya parked the truck in the courtyard, opened the door, went around to the back of the truck, and opened the cargo box door.

Irisviel and Saber walked over curiously, and what came into view in the cargo box were two corpses piled up together!

Leaving aside the red-clad woman whose head was already half gone, the male corpse was still relatively intact, and his identity could be vaguely discerned from his clothing and appearance—Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.

The creator and former owner of Moon Spirit Essence Liquid.

Hisayu Maiya did not communicate with them at all from beginning to end. She simply threw the body on the ground and drove away again.

"Who did this?"

Saber observed the corpse's condition and frowned slightly.

It's easy to tell from the bullet holes on the bodies that they died from gunfire, which isn't like Yoshikage Kira's style, hence her question.

"If you're asking how Kenneth died, he was killed by Kiritsugu Emiya."

Irisviel was somewhat puzzled:

"What about Lancer?"

Wasn't Kenneth Lancer's Master? Since Kenneth is dead, shouldn't Lancer also be out of the picture? If Lancer has already left the scene, why doesn't she sense anything?

"Lancer has left the stage, leaving not even a soul behind, I can guarantee that."

Kira Yoshikage gently took Irisviel's small hand, causing Saber to frown slightly.

-----------------

Snapped!

"whispering sound."

Mordred killed the last Crest Bug, but his mood remained subtly unpleasant.

Since being summoned, she has been observing this world.

Although she was initially unable to speak, she witnessed Matou Kariya's ordeal and understood his hatred.

So when she regained consciousness, she didn't rush to find her father, but instead offered to help Matou Kariya kill his father.

But as it turns out, the old bug wasn't so easy to kill.

Although she had wiped out every single Crest Worm she could find in the mansion, her intuition told her that the old worm was still alive.

As long as he hasn't found the Crest Worm that is Zouken Matou's true form, he still has a chance to make a comeback. Even if he finds Zouken Matou's true form, he can transfer his soul to another Crest Worm at any time.

Just like Matou Kariya said.

In terms of raw strength, he may not be the strongest, but when it comes to the ability to escape, Old Bug is definitely top-notch.

of course.

This doesn't mean that everything she did was meaningless.

Although Mordred was unable to find the original insect, the cultivation of the Crest Worm takes time.

By eliminating all the Crest Worms at the Matou residence, the old worm was indirectly deprived of a new 'host'. Even if he could continue to escape, the remaining Crest Worms wouldn't be many. Moreover, even if Zouken Matou, with only one worm left, wanted to run, how far could he possibly go?

If we keep searching, we'll eventually wipe him out!

Still haven't found it?

Matou Kariya, supporting himself against the wall, arrived at the basement door and asked in a deep voice.

"No."

Mordred raised his sword, turned, and walked towards the top of the basement. "His true form isn't here, nor is the little girl you're looking for. Tell me, are you really sure she's in this mansion?"

Matou Kariya remained silent for a long time, then closed his eyes in pain.

“I don’t know… I haven’t seen her since she was sent to the Matou family.”

Mordred paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated:

"Maybe she's already..."

"No! Sakura must be alive!"

Matou Kariya retorted through gritted teeth.

"Well, just believe it."
