Or, why don’t you find another savior?

What an old story.

Really... I can’t laugh.

"You don't look very well. Are you hungover?" Morgan's voice came.

He then noticed that she was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at him with her head slightly tilted, as if she was admiring a pet.

"I don't drink a lot, but I only drank a little yesterday, so I didn't have a hangover. On the contrary, I slept well." Xijian replied, "Did you take me back to bed?"

"At least sleeping on the couch isn't a good idea." Morgan didn't deny it.

"Is this your return gift to me last night?" Xi Jian smiled to himself, "But your habit of treating people like pets and staring at them while they sleep is really not something that people can praise."

Morgan didn't care. "It's nothing. It's just that even though the Master is asleep, the magic power is endless. A servant who doesn't need sleep can only kill time. I didn't expect your sleeping posture to be so strange."

"I've always looked like this." Xijian laughed at himself.

In fact, he had never been like this before. If he had to explain, it was probably because he had a series of dreams that seemed to be connected but lacked logic, which made him feel unwell.

But I can't say to Morgan, "It's all your fault that I saw those things."

"If you're not in good spirits, you might as well cancel your trip to the Cathedral Church." Morgan said, "If you're not in perfect condition, you could lose your life in the Holy Grail War at any time."

"No, I'm fine." Xi Jian sat up from the bed. "The longer the night, the more trouble there is. It's not a good idea to continue to delay it."

"Really? That's good." Morgan didn't insist. "Don't worry about Sakura and Kallen. Sakura heated up the food you made last night in the microwave and ate it with Kallen for breakfast."

Shiomi nodded silently.

In fact, Sakura is very sensible, but Shiomi doesn't want her to take care of household chores at such a young age, so he only taught her how to do housework but never asked her to do it herself. At most, she just helped him.

I'm going to the cathedral church for a gathering. I should be back soon.

It might be okay to relax a little bit in Sakura and Kallen's daily life today...

After making up his mind, he went to a nearby supermarket to buy a lunch box and left it at home. After washing up, Shiomi gave up taking the bus and used transfer magic with Morgan to arrive near Fuyuki Church.

This area is sparsely populated at all times, so even if you use magic during the day, basically no one will notice.

It was a few minutes before noon, and Shiomi and Morgan were walking on the ramp leading to the main entrance of the church.

"Come to think of it, Morgan, you're not just good at magic." Shiomi said.

Morgan nodded. "It is common sense that a magician is good at magic, but it is too narrow-minded to think that he is only good at magic."

"No wonder. I felt that your magic spear was not simply a weapon for hand-to-hand combat." Shiomi said again.

"Is there anything about my magic spear that concerns you?"

"It looks like an unreasonable structure at first glance, but once you actually use it, you'll find it's very handy." Shiomi put his hands behind his back and looked at the main entrance of the church that gradually appeared in his field of vision. "The weight distribution of each part is very reasonable. Even if it is forged with magic power, it is a weapon that looks like a treasure, and it is very commendable."

"Oh?"

"After all, if you are not good with guns, you will probably ignore this part of the need during the forging process, and only consider it as a self-defense weapon and an extended means of performing magic." Shiomi turned his head and told Morgan his thoughts with a smile.

"Since you are so satisfied, you can use it if you need it on the battlefield in the future." Morgan lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the brick road under his feet. "Unlike the weapon you hold, my magic spear can also be transformed into other forms when necessary, even a long sword of the same specifications as Altria's holy sword."

Shiomi looked at the faint smile on Morgan's face. He knew that what he had just said made Morgan in a good mood.

only--

"Indeed, I'm the type who prefers to go to the front lines myself." Shiomi retracted her gaze, "But if there's a two-front battle like the first night, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to face the enemy unarmed?"

"That's the natural and appropriate way to deal with it at that time." Morgan tactfully conveyed that he hoped Shiomi would not use the Death Shodown Spear.

"...You seem to have some opinions about my weapon." Shiomi simply made it clear.

"No, that's not the case." Morgan answered straightforwardly, but her averted gaze betrayed her true thoughts at the moment.

Soon, the two stood outside the church's gate.

Through the open door, the church's chapel is right in front of us.

Just by standing there, one can sense several magical auras.

There are both Masters and Servants.

Xi Jiantianxi raised his wrist to check the time. There was still one minute until noon, which was just enough to be considered late.

"Really? I'm glad that's not the case." Shiomi put down her wrist. "I don't have to do that, but I have a feeling that no matter what happens in the end, the King of Heroes will stand in front of us. So--"

Therefore, Xi Jian Tianxi will definitely need his own Death Spear more.

It was a weapon that he had studied to perfection and belonged to him, and it would bring him more help in battle.

"Since the opponent is the King of Heroes, there is nothing wrong with that." Morgan looked at Shiomi, "Even if it was me, I wouldn't be so picky about my husband."

The first time she heard Morgan calling her in this way, Shiomi felt happy rather than helpless.

Then, they walked into Fuyuki Church together.

Chapter 56: Convening

For Kotomine Risei, the supervisor of the Fourth Holy Grail War, the hard work this Holy Grail War brought him was beyond his imagination.

Perhaps it was because he was not as young as he was sixty years ago, or perhaps it was because this Holy Grail War had too many special cases that were beyond the previous Holy Grail War.

Caster's actions caused too much trouble. Not only the Holy Church, but even the Magic Association was secretly taking action.

Therefore, when the old priest saw Shiomi Tenki and Berserker pushing open the door and walking in, the first thing that came to his mind was not a welcome speech, but words of gratitude.

It was because when Caster summoned the huge sea monster, Berserker covered the area around the Mion River with a huge fog. After that, the fog continued to spread and directly covered Miyama Town and Shinto.

The extremely low visibility hindered the operation of the city to a certain extent, but it also effectively concealed the mysterious traces. The only people who saw Caster's behavior were some quick-reacting residents on both sides of the river.

More people can only see the weather change of heavy fog at night.

As a result, both the Holy Church and the Magic Association saved a lot of trouble.

No matter where this Holy Grail War goes, Shiomi Tenkei's decisiveness and ability to handle the matter of "covering up the mystery" as the Master will surely further enrich his qualifications as a magus in the association.

"Mr. Shiomi, welcome." As the manager of the Fuyuki Church and the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, Kotomine Rimasa extended a welcome greeting to Shiomi.

It was exactly noon.

“It was I who originally sent the request to Mr. Tokiomi. It would be great if the church could support it.” Shiomi walked through the aisle between the seats and came in front of Father Risei.

As he left, he looked around and saw that Tōsaka Tokiomi had already arrived with Gilgamesh, sitting on different benches.

There is also the group of Iskandar and Weber.

Unlike Gilgamesh, who was indifferent and ignored the others, he occupied the front row seat.

Iskandar examined the architecture and artifacts of the church with great interest, as if he was visiting a museum full of artifacts.

The remaining two groups are Kotomine Kirei and Emiya Kiritsugu.

Kirei aside, the fact that Assassin had been defeated on the surface was clearly something the Church intended to continue hiding.

Therefore, Shiomi could only sense that Kirei was hiding inside the door leading to the backyard of the chapel, but there was no trace of Assassin.

“Because the matter you mentioned, Shiomi-kun, is too serious. As the manager of Fuyuki, the Tohsaka family cannot sit idly by.” Tokiomi expressed his attitude very sincerely.

After all, if the Holy Grail War really has problems that Tokiomi is unaware of as Shiomi said, then it must be suspended or even ended.

If the problematic Holy Grail is allowed to descend, and the members of the Association in Fuyuki know about it, it will definitely damage the reputation of the Tohsaka family.

"That's great." Xi Jian nodded. He looked around and said, "I thought we would be the last ones to arrive. Looks like someone else is late."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the chapel was pushed open, and a figure wrapped in a black windbreaker appeared from the sunlight that seeped in.

Emiya Kiritsugu.

When he saw him, Tōsaka Tokiomi's expression froze for a moment. He originally thought that Emiya Kiritsugu was just a magus hired by Einzbern to assist in the battle, but now it seems that the result is back to his original prediction.

The real Master is Emiya Kiritsugu, and the Einzbern androids are just his agents in name only.

Tokiomi couldn't criticize this behavior, after all, he was also secretly colluding with the church and using various means.

As a result, the only two upright masters left are Shiomi and Waver.

After Kiritsugu pushed the door open and walked in, he let go of the door and let it bounce back, but the door was blocked a second time. Altria followed Kiritsugu in with an expressionless face.

Just one action reveals the extremely bad master-servant relationship, which is understandable. No wonder Irisviel is the one taking over the nominal Master duties.

Kiritsugu walked to a bench about five steps away from Shiomi, walked in and sat down.

Saber just stood behind Morgan to the right.

The only person who found it strange was Waver, but when he wanted to speak, the King of Conquerors held his shoulders and forced the question back.

"Well, now everyone is here." Shiomi looked around at the remaining Masters in the church, even vaguely including Kotomine Kirei who was hiding behind the door to listen to the conversation, "Thank you very much for accepting my invitation. Everyone has already understood the reason. To put it simply, the final reward of this Holy Grail War, the omnipotent wishing machine, has some problems. I think that if this problem continues to be hidden, it will harm the interests of all parties, so I decided to make it public."

When he said this, he naturally glanced at the other Masters present.

Tokiomi and Waver were both listening attentively. Only Kiritsugu was looking at them with a contemptuous attitude of "I want to hear what you have to say".

Perhaps he didn't believe Xi Jian Tianxi at all and thought he was playing a trick, trying to make everyone give up and withdraw from the Holy Grail War.

At this time, Morgan put her hand on Shiomi's shoulder and told Shiomi through voice, that she would explain the next step.

Xijian did not object. After all, he had only heard Morgan talk about it briefly on the way home last night.

To be honest, the person who knows the situation best is none other than her, who has entered the underground cave where the Holy Grail is and checked it out personally.

"Next, let me explain."

Unlike Shiomi's calm and sincere attitude, Morgan's voice was full of businesslike coldness.

"Time is precious, so I'll start with the conclusion." Morgan glanced at Altria with a smile on his face, "Fuyuki's Holy Grail has been contaminated. The magic power gathered inside is no longer colorless."

Just one sentence caused a commotion in the chapel.

Both the Master and the Servant were filled with surprise.

As members who had attended the aborted "banquet" last night, the King of Conquerors and the King of Knights finally understood what Morgan meant when he said "the Holy Grail has gone mad."

But, although we are shocked, whether or not to believe it is another matter.

“What is the basis for what you said, Your Excellency the Witch of Britain?” Tokiomi asked with a respectful tone. Although he didn’t care about Servants, he also had respect for the status of Heroic Spirits, not to mention that they were magicians from the Age of Gods.

Waver was also a little anxious. "Yes, where is the evidence? If you just use Caster as an example like you did last night, I won't believe it."

On the other side, a crack appeared on Emiya Kiritsugu's expressionless face, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Morgan expected the Masters' reactions.

If no one had any objection, Morgan would find it boring.

Chapter 57: The Contaminated Holy Grail

"Of course there is evidence, but whether you believe it or not is up to you." Morgan said calmly, "After the Holy Grail War began, the day after I was summoned, I followed the Master to learn about Fuyuki's situation, and thus learned the location of the Greater Holy Grail."

Ryudo Temple on Mount Wonjang.

At that time, the three families of Tōsaka, Makiri and Einzbern, under the witness of the magic marshal Shubiin AOG, established the system of the Greater Holy Grail, and it was gradually improved with each Holy Grail War.

The location has become an open secret among the masters.

Since he knew that the Servant he summoned was Morgan, it was a completely reasonable tactic for Shiomi to take this Berserker-class magician to explore spiritual veins and even the Holy Grail.

“So, did Your Excellency the Witch enter the underground cave where the Holy Grail is located and confirm the system of the Holy Grail?” Tokiomi was very concerned, so he took the initiative to ask.

Morgan nodded, and then deliberately said: "Originally, I only planned to use the spiritual vein of Liudong Temple as one of the bases after the Holy Grail War progressed to the middle stage, but-"

"You discovered that the Holy Grail was contaminated?" Altria asked.

She couldn't accept that the wishing machine she used to accept the summons had been contaminated.
