In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

[Occasional events can often become the inevitable fuse. ]

[Some people, however, hope to control even this kind of contingency in their own hands. ]

Inside the church.

The black shadow that had escaped from the port reported to Kotomine Kirei what he had seen and heard.

The latter turned around and told his teacher Tōsaka Tokiomi and his servant Gilgamesh.

“What?!” Tōsaka Tokiomi showed a shocked expression, “Kariya formed an alliance with others?”

"Yes, teacher."

Kotomine Kirei answered respectfully.

"According to Assassin, it seems that the Lancer is too powerful, which led to the formation of this alliance."

"..."

Tōsaka Tokiomi was silent.

To be fair, his impression of Matou Kariya was not too bad.

After all, as a good friend of his wife, this man who has been away from home for many years often comes to visit his daughters Sakura Toosaka and Rin Toosaka, and brings them some small gifts.

I won’t say how much I like it.

But at least I didn't go to the point of hating him.

of course.

If we want to evaluate it more objectively, the relationship between the two is actually closer to that of strangers, and is limited to the extent of saying hello after meeting.

But Tōsaka Tokiomi did not expect that Matou Kariya would participate in the Holy Grail War at this time.

Does he also have a wish that must be fulfilled?

"Teacher." Kotomine Kirei's voice brought Tōsaka Tokiomi back to reality.

"What should we do about this?"

"I remember he was a good friend of the Master's wife, right?"

"..."

Tōsaka Tokiomi was silent for a moment, and then answered his disciple Kotomine Kirei.

"do not worry about it."

"Next time you see me, just treat me as an enemy. No need to show mercy."

"I understand." Kotomine Kirei still maintained that respectful attitude.

What the two of them didn't know was that Gilgamesh showed a hint of displeasure after hearing what Tōsaka Tokiomi said.

He seemed to be very dissatisfied with what this man did.

【There is not only one direction in which fate flows. 】

[In the Holy Grail War, everyone's goals and choices are different. ]

[Some people do this to fulfill their long-cherished wish. ]

[Some people want to kill someone they have hated for a long time. ]

【But some people just want to find the fun they need. 】

Somewhere on a street in Fuyuki City.

Uryu Ryunosuke was eagerly calling out to his Servant Mephistopheles.

In a sense, they should be the most perfect combination in this Holy Grail War.

The living devil and the dead devil became partners, and there is nothing more tacit than this.

"Mephisto, show me your work!"

"I can not wait any more!"

"Okay, Master."

Mephisto took off his hat.

"Please enjoy...the show I prepared for you!"

The voice just fell.

The apartment in front of them, where an unknown number of people lived, burst into flames.

But the scarier thing is not the fire.

When the people in the apartment fled downstairs in panic, they found that they could not leave the apartment no matter what.

It was a spell Mephisto had prepared, desperate and cruel.

Listening to the wailing coming from the fire and witnessing the body twisting in pain due to the burning flames.

Ryunosuke Uryu felt like he was about to get too high.

"Perfect, so perfect!"

"Mephisto!"

"Let's turn Fuyuki into a paradise on earth!"

289. Scathach's willful behavior/Caster extermination/Laboratory (4k)

Finland Airport.

Sakura Toosaka, who has grown into a beautiful girl, put on headphones.

Sitting in the terminal hall, she looked like someone who was planning to travel somewhere else.

but--

If you are lucky enough to get her headphones, you will find that there is no sound in them.

This is her way of covering up.

After all, if she wanted to communicate with Mr. Ghost, she would subconsciously look towards an empty place.

That would seem somewhat strange to people who don't know the situation.

If you can have headphones as a cover, the situation will naturally be much better.

"Mr. Ghost."

Toosaka Sakura gently covered her headphones and asked him in a gentle voice.

"So, the large-scale serial arson case ten years ago was actually part of the Holy Grail War?"

"That's how it should be."

"At least according to the existing records, there won't be much difference."

[You and Tousaka Sakura are not just chatting. ]

[With Vivian's help, you have obtained some past records of the Fourth Holy Grail War from the Clock Tower.]

【And that serial fire case was part of it. 】

Ten years ago, outside of Fuyuki.

An ancient castle hidden somewhere in the forest.

This is Irisviel's residence in Fuyuki.

Or to be more precise, it is the Einzbern family's assets in this city.

Thanks to mysterious magic, its internal structure is almost exactly the same as the castle in Germany.

Therefore, it was quite easy for both Altria and Irisviel to adapt.

However, for Matou Kariya who came here together, things were not so simple.

He has been traveling for many years and has never lived in a place like this.

Therefore, when he came in, Matou Kariya was somewhat at a loss.

In comparison, his servant Berserker is much calmer.

Or should I say... not so normal?

As he swaggered forward, he commented on the decorations in the corridor.

“Golden!”

"This isn't golden enough! Give me more golden!"

"Without golden, all the decorations would be meaningless!"

However, even though this sounds a bit noisy.

But in a situation like this, having such a strange servant to change the atmosphere is actually a pretty good thing.

In this subtle harmony, the group sat in the hall.

They began to discuss the alliance plan mentioned earlier.

Irisviel and Matou Kariya, who were the masters (at least on the surface), sat on both sides of the table.

As servants, Artoria and Sakata Gintoki stood behind their respective masters.

of course.

They still didn't know each other's Servants' true names - revealing this information early in the Holy Grail War was a very dangerous thing.

"How about it?"

Matou Kariya took the initiative to bring up the previous topic.

"What do you think about the alliance?"

"..."

Irisviel did not answer Matou Kariya immediately, but covered her ears, as if listening to something.

Soon, she answered.

"Yes, yes."

"but--"

"You should know that there can only be one winner of the Holy Grail War, right?"

“Yes.” Matou Kariya nodded.

"While there can only be one winner, we can still choose to consider each other allies until that winner is determined."

"This will improve both your and my chances of winning, won't it?"

"..."

Irisviel still did not directly answer Matou Kariya.

She was not being rude, but was passing this information to Emiya Kiritsugu, the real master of Artoria, through the silk thread familiar.

"understood."

After receiving the response, Irisviel looked towards Matou Kariya.

"In that case, let's demonstrate our sincerity through a joint expedition."

"Punitive?"

Matou Kariya was a little confused.

"What kind of crusade? Is there such a thing?"

"Of course." Irisviel answered according to the words prepared by her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu.

"In this Holy Grail War, Caster's actions have exceeded reasonable limits."

"Now the Church has issued a crusade - if you can kill Caster, you will not only obtain the Command Seals that his Master has not yet used, but you can also get an extra Command Seal from the Church."
