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

"Matou Kariya, do you understand what I mean?"

[This is something you and Tousaka Sakura don't know. ]

[Although the Clock Tower launched an investigation into the Fourth Holy Grail War, it was not as rigorous as expected. ]

[What you and she know is just some superficial situations. ]

"so--"

Toosaka Sakura lowered her voice.

"Are serial arson cases like that not accidental, but caused by Caster?"

"Yes." came Mr. Ghost's reply.

"The actions he and his Master have taken have exceeded the limits of what is acceptable in the Holy Grail War."

"Under that circumstance, Caster was confirmed as a target for all extermination, and ultimately became the first one to be annihilated in the Fourth Holy Grail War."

"That--"

Upon hearing the news, Sakura Toosaka took a deep breath.

"Who completed this crusade?"

[Regarding the results of this crusade, the Clock Tower's records are quite vague.]

[There are many things that are hidden in the past that no one knows about. ]

[This includes the truth about the crusade. ]

[They silently bear witness to past tragedies, yet have never been discovered.]

Ten years ago, in Fuyuki City, on top of a tall building.

A mounted Walther WA 2000 bullpup sniper rifle was hidden at the edge of the building.

And its owner is none other than Kiritsugu Emiya, who has been hiding himself since the Holy Grail War.

He was the first among all the Masters to know that the Church had issued an order to suppress Caster.

His qualities as a killer also allowed him to analyze the location of Ryunosuke Uryu from repeated fires.

That's the tall building opposite.

Emiya Kiritsugu was indeed well hidden - Uryu Ryunosuke had no idea that there was a sniper rifle pointed at him in the dark.

However, the magician killer did not intend to act immediately.

Because he knew that he was not the only one who knew about the encirclement and suppression order.

Aside from Matou Kariya and his Servant Berserker, with whom they have already formed an alliance, there is very little information about the remaining five riders.

In that case——

Then let Ryunosuke Uryu be one of his baits.

Use it to lure out the remaining servants one by one, and then obtain enough information.

Emiya Kiritsugu called this method highly efficient.

At the same moment, on the other side of the street.

According to the previous agreement with Irisviel, Matou Kariya and his Servant Berserker Sakata Kintoki came to this area.

This was clearly an extremely quiet street, but the man felt that he could hear strange footsteps all the time.

He realized he was nervous.

But this is understandable.

Because he knew that Caster and his Master, who might not be the strongest among the Seven Knights of the Holy Grail War, but was definitely the most psychologically twisted, were hiding nearby.

This was the terrifying murderer who had planned fifteen consecutive arson cases in Fuyuki, so much so that the police had to make an emergency broadcast to notify them.

Under such circumstances, Matou Kariya naturally bore greater pressure than ever before - not to mention that he didn't even have an absolutely trustworthy source of information.

"Berserker, be careful!" he instructed his servant.

"Got it, Boss."

The two cautious people didn't know that their every move had already been exposed to Emiya Kiritsugu's vision.

Or should I say——

His intelligence network.

On another tall building, a woman with black hair, black eyes and a serious expression frowned in front of another mounted Walther WA 2000 bullpup sniper rifle.

That was Hisau Maiya, Emiya Kiritsugu's most trusted assistant.

The reason why he was able to obtain the information about the encirclement and suppression order in the first place was inseparable from the hard work of this assistant.

Hisau Maiya lowered her voice and reported to Emiya Kiritsugu what she saw.

After getting the answer "No need to do anything", she continued to wait.

To be fair, Hisau Maiya actually didn't know what she was doing.

But since Emiya Kiritsugu had given such an order, she would definitely carry it out seriously.

This man saved himself from the battlefield.

Then it stands to reason that the right to control one's own life should also belong to him.

however--

While Hisau Maiya was concentrating on observing the intersection, she forgot how dangerous the situation behind her was.

Or rather, she didn't realize that someone could launch an attack across a building.

The dark red spear flew in the air and pierced through Hisau Maiya's body accurately.

She widened her eyes as she felt the severe pain, realizing that someone had the same idea as Emiya Kiritsugu—wanting to use Uryu Ryunosuke as bait to lure out the remaining Masters.

She reached out, wanting to tell him what was happening through the intercom, but it was too late.

She fell in a pool of blood and soon stopped moving.

"Isn't it Master?"

After completing the long-range sniper kill, Scathach took back her Gae Bolg Alternative.

She remained silent, but she also realized that there were other people whose ideas were surprisingly consistent with Kenneth's.

but--

There is no need to report this to him.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would probably have been called back now.

Scathach leaped and landed directly on the ground.

She was not afraid of sniping from the dark - because she was sure that she would avoid these meaningless attacks before that.

In that case, let's just deal with the matter.

The Queen of the Shadow Kingdom began to march towards her goal.

inside the house.

Ryunosuke Uryu was talking excitedly with his Servant Mephisto, and it looked like a gathering of close friends.

But anyone's smile would disappear in an instant once they heard what they were talking about.

Murder and arson.

This kind of content, which should be avoided, has become a boring topic for them.

They have a more trendy topic to discuss - how to make the victims suffer more and struggle more violently.

This Master and Servant seem to have completely forgotten the significance of the Holy Grail War.

All they are doing is causing one disaster after another, making the entire Fuyuki restless.

Watching the videos taken at the scene of the victims twisting in pain in the flames, Ryunosuke Uryu felt great pleasure.

"That's right! That's what it feels like!"

"Suffer! Wail!"

"You struggle with all your might, and then find that it's totally useless!"

"Hey!"

"Mephisto!" Uryu Ryunosuke looked at his Servant with great excitement, "Where are we going to burn next?"

"..."

Faced with his Master's question, Mephisto did not answer directly, but showed a polite smile.

"Please wait, Master."

"I've picked a place you'd never expect."

"That was the most fun curtain call we ever had... You'll never forget it."

"oh--!"

Uryu Ryunosuke had no doubt at all about what his Servant said.

After all, his performance so far has been so perfect that there is nothing wrong with it.

However, he was unaware of the approaching danger.

pat.

pat.

pat.

The shoes rubbed against the ground, making a crisp sound.

Snap!

The door separating the inside and the outside was swept open by a dark red spear.

Scathach's figure appeared there.

"Who are you?!" Ryunosuke Uesugi looked at the woman in front of him with a confused look on his face.

"..."

Scathach did not respond to Ryunosuke Uesugi's doubts.

She instinctively hated these bastards who tortured others and made them struggle on the brink of death, so she wanted to end it quickly.

The Gae Bolg Alternative flashed with light - it was a sign that Yu Shenglong was about to be killed.

But right now.

His servant Mephisto suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Sure enough, there are guests!"

There was a sly gleam in the eyes of the mad servant.

"Hmm...it looks like there's more than one."

"what?"

Scathach was a little surprised.

But she was not surprised by what Mephisto had just said, but she found that the concentration of magic power nearby was rising sharply.

“Welcome to my home turf.”

Mephisto bowed politely to Scathach, and then revealed a devilish and ferocious face.

"I'm going to give you a grand opening--!"

Boom——!

Boom——!

Deafening explosions rang out one after another, engulfing the entire nearby area in deadly fireworks.
