Today's daily life in Fuyuki

"Ai Li, we still have a little time. Is there anywhere else you want to go next?"

"Hmm... let me think about it, how about we go see the sea?"

"can."

"Yeah~ I like you the most~"

"..."

——So full~

Obviously she hasn't eaten anything yet, but Artoria feels like she's already hugged her, even holding her a little.

Chapter 22 The Fourth Holy Grail War (4/4)

The three people walking slowly in Fuyuki City were as tender and affectionate as honeymoon partners.

Of course, it was referring to Irisviel and Setsuna. Artoria, who had gradually become accustomed to it, was more interested in the various special snacks or dishes in Fuyuki City.

There was nothing she could do, the other two kept spreading dog food, and she could only keep her company with delicious food.

The three of them were immersed in the flow of people, strolling leisurely and casually on the street.

Although we had agreed to go see the sea, since the distance was very close, there was no need to rush and we could just walk slowly over.

Therefore, sometimes they would suddenly stop and look at the glass windows of the building shining under the sunset, or the displays in the windows. The two girls happily appreciated these insignificant things, but they never visited the store at all. For shopping, the most you can do is to go into a coffee shop and take a rest, or choose the food that King Da Mao likes.

Although he blends in with the noise of people, he always keeps a certain distance and quietly watches the activities of the city.

The low sun in winter had already landed on the other side of the mountains at some point, and the streets shrouded in a trance began to show different styles, as if the city had been plated with a layer of gold.

After walking across the Fuyuki Ohashi Bridge across the Mito River, there is a large seaside park under the bridge on the other side.

Well, it's the place where several magical girls once fought.

Because it was already approaching dusk, and they had missed the rush hour for getting off work or school, the three of them walked on a lonely trail with no trace of people.

The north wind blowing from the sea was unimpeded and blew directly throughout the entire park, lifting Irisviel's long silver hair like the silver tail of a shooting star.

If it were summer, there might still be some couples dating here, and they might be singles or something like that.

Well, at this moment, someone's behavior of dragging two people behind also caused tons of harm to the surrounding passers-by.

The cold night in winter made people afraid to take a step closer to this place, but Irisviel, who was seeing the sea for the first time, had long been accustomed to the severe cold in her hometown, so of course she didn't care at all.

"It's so beautiful~"

Irisviel, holding Setsuna's arm, looked at the vast sea under the setting sun while listening to the sound of the waves coming and going.

Today's walk seemed to make her very happy, her fair cheeks were a little rosy, and her smile seemed as innocent as that of a young girl.

There's no way she can help it. Under her mature appearance, she only has a few years of accumulated life experience.

"Yeah, I really hope this city can stay peaceful like this."

This was Artoria's emotion. Being in the war years, of course she knew how precious peace was, so she couldn't help but speak.

"Uh……"

But when he stood next to Irisviel and held up her hair that was messed up by the wind, he looked at her with a subtle expression after hearing his servant's emotion.

My king, are you blessing or cursing Fuyuki City?

It seems that the most dangerous place in the entire moon is Fuyuki City. After all, the nuclear-heavy Fuyuki City does not deserve its reputation!

"Huh? What's wrong, Master?"

"No, nothing."

Noticing Setsuna's subtle gaze, Artoria turned her head in confusion and asked, did she say something wrong just now?

Facing the Servant girl's inquiry, Setsuna certainly would not express her inner complaints. She just smiled and shrugged, then stood between the two girls and watched the sea with them until the sun set.

When night falls over the world and the colorful lights twinkle, Irisviel sighs in intoxication.

Arturia, who was standing on the other side, began to look serious.

Because according to the plan, when night falls, it will also be the time for Setsuna to take action.

In other words, this time the Holy Grail War will be started openly and openly by their group!

"Ellie, take this." As the last light of the sunset faded, Setsuna also took out a card and handed it to Irisviel beside him, and he also took out another card in the same way. "Learn like me and use it!"

"Class card, Berserker, Dream Summon!"

"...Class card, magician, fantasy summons!"

With the opening of the spell, two extremely strong magical auras seemed to be provoking, and they were obviously aimed at the entire Fuyuki City, so the summoned servants suddenly exploded at nightfall.

Almost at the same time, the Holy Grail War started with only five Masters, and there were still two Masters left (Matō Kariya and Ubu Ryunosuke), but this night the magic power of the remaining two Servants appeared. fluctuation.

In other words, this time is a little different. While other Masters were still feeling strange about this, they received guidance from the Holy Grail, which meant that the Fourth Holy Grail War had begun.

It just started for no reason and without any movement in advance.

Generally speaking, during the Holy Grail War, the Holy Church will send supervisors to supervise the conduct, so magicians who become Masters will take the initiative to report to the Holy Church's branch in Fuyuki City.

Of course, it’s okay not to go.

However, if the Holy Grail War is lost, the magician who loses his identity as a master can seek asylum from the Holy Church to avoid being killed by the followers of other masters. The magician who does not leave does not have this right.

This seems to have become a common practice, and most of the sources of information collected by other Masters also come from the Holy Church.

But this time it was different. The remaining two Masters did not appear for a long time. The Master who had summoned his Servants thought he would have to wait for a while, but he did not expect that the Fourth Holy Grail War would start so suddenly.

The remaining two Masters seemed to not exist, and the two Servants seemed to appear out of thin air, but the mechanism of the Holy Grail was still activated because of this.

At the same time, in a hotel in Fuyuki City, one of the masters of the Holy Grail War, the genius magician of the Clock Tower, the first-level lecturer of seance, and a sex magician himself, Kenneth Elmer Loy Archipelud.

With his fiancée and the summoned servants, he just chose the hotel where he was temporarily staying in Fuyuki City as his base. He set up a barrier here and alienated the internal space to prevent his opponent 867 from invading.

He originally planned to let his followers go out on the streets to lure opponents and lure other masters and followers out.

Unexpectedly, someone moved faster than him.

"Master!"

"Watch what happens."

On the other side, in a civilian home somewhere in Fuyuki City, two figures, one large and one small, who were originally talking about something, stopped talking after sensing the magic power fluctuations and the guidance of the Holy Grail.

"Rider!"

"Boy, since the other party has already provoked us, we should respond, hahahaha~"

Then the burly man simply ignored his little Master's wishes and jumped out of the room with his hand in hand, rushing towards the direction where the magic wave was coming from!

Tohsaka Residence, underground magic workshop.

"..."

In fact, before the Holy Grail could be opened, Tokiomi Tosaka, who had received the information early in the morning, had already arranged for his wife and daughter to leave Fuyuki City a few days ago and temporarily live in other cities for a period of time.

After all, the Fuyuki City coming next is not very safe, and they are likely to become targets of attacks by other masters.

"Kirei, you go ahead and I'll ask the king for instructions."

"……Yes."

Although he was puzzled by Tohsaka Tokiomi's strange behavior during this period, Kotomine Kirei was not a talkative person, so he stood up and left the Tohsaka family's magic workshop with his servants.

Tokiomi Tosaka, who stayed behind, sat silently for a moment, then stood up and walked towards a room in Tosaka's mansion.

Chapter 23 Jin Shining must die (1/4)

Tokiomi Tosaka came to a door, adjusted his clothes, lowered his head slightly with respect, and walked in after knocking twice.

He is obviously his servant, and should have been a familiar-like existence, but he used the word "ask for instructions". This is not because he is humbled, but precisely because of the glory of the magician, which makes him respect the true king. manner.

Compared to the dimness of the rest of the mansion, this room can be described as magnificent, and can even be called extremely luxurious.

The bright light shines on the golden decoration. It is a young man with blond hair and red eyes. He is lazily lying on his side on the sofa. He is holding a gold wine glass in his hand and is smiling slightly. swaying.

The crystal clear red wine exudes a mellow fragrance and directly fills the entire room.

"king."

Tosaka Tokiomi did not look directly at the blond young man, but bowed respectfully and performed an impeccable courtesy.

"I should have said, don't bother me if you have nothing to do, Tokiomi."

The slanted eyes of the blond young man looked over. They were not sharp, but naturally looked down with a sense of arrogance, as if he was born to be noble and arrogant.

"Yes, I believe the king already knows that the Holy Grail has been opened, and at this time the other party is also sending out an invitation to fight."

Tokiomi Tohsaka's waist bent down a little further. His performance could be regarded as extremely humble. However, Tokiomi Tohsaka was sincerely willing and treated the heroic spirit he summoned with all the courtesy without any hesitation.

As the heir of a noble bloodline, he knows better than anyone else what it means to be a "superior".

The heroic spirit in front of him was a being worthy of his treatment.

"So what? They're just some ant-like miscellaneous cultivators."

The young man has blond hair that stands like a blazing fire, and an upright and handsome face. His blood-red eyes are obviously different from ordinary people, exuding some kind of mysterious brilliance, making everyone who stares at him involuntarily feel afraid.

"I'm so sorry, King of Kings..."

Although he was still respectful on the surface, even though the person sitting in front of him at this time was the oldest king and an unimaginably powerful heroic spirit, Tokiomi Tosaka did not feel any hope in his heart.

Even if—

The same is true for the arrival of the most ancient king in front of him!

He is just one of the many heroic spirits in the Throne of Heroes, and that Lord is a higher being than the Throne of Heroes, so there is no comparison at all.

Forget it, just show off and pass the "Magic Seal" to your daughter when it's over.

As for the other daughter, now that the Matou family has been bombed due to a "gas leak", they can only find a solution from the wife's side of the family.

These were all the psychological activities of Tokiomi Tosaka, who maintained a respectful posture without making the young man in front of him notice.

He knew that he had already said everything he should say, and everything that followed depended on the Servant's choice. He was just going through the motions anyway.

"Hmph~ A few ants dare to challenge the king's majesty. All the treasures in this world belong to me. No matter how rare the Holy Grail is, I will never sit back and watch those miscellaneous cultivators dare to do so without my permission. Arbitrary competition, this alone, is a capital crime."
