"Imaginary number magic..."
Einzbern had no time to intercept them and could only watch them leave.
----------
"It's not right, is the Einzbern Servant immortal?"
After the battle, Shiomi replayed the final part repeatedly to confirm Berserker's two resurrections.
"Perhaps it is a curse of immortality, just like your master."
Morgan lay on the bed, her fair skin stained with a layer of crimson, and beads of sweat hung on her flawless back. She looked very comfortable.
"Master's situation is another matter... In any case, Saber and Archer's Noble Phantasms undoubtedly killed Berserkerr twice in a row." Shiomi was helpless, because Morgan's analogy was quite accurate to some extent. "It is right to retreat, otherwise we may fall into a war of attrition there and become unsustainable."
So Sakura and the others' retreat was very wise.
Einzbern only needs to stall for time with Sakura and Rin until the Servants are worn down. Even if Archer is summoned with the Command Seal, the chance of survival is not very high.
Morgan climbed onto Shiomi's back and rested his chin on his shoulder.
"So what do you think?"
"The Holy Grail War is more dangerous than I thought. I'm afraid we can't continue to stay in the hotel in Xindu." Shiomi moved sideways and took the naked Morgan into his arms, "We need to move to a place closer to Sakura."
Not only that, he and Morgan were definitely not the only ones spying on the battle tonight through familiars or servants.
Now that all the Servants for the Holy Grail War have arrived, Shiomi believes that it is important to be careful.
It would be best to find out all the information about other servants before reuniting with Sakura.
"How about joining the Holy Grail War?" Morgan suddenly said, "By now, Sakura should have retreated back home. It's totally in time for us to reunite."
"Are you serious?" Shiomi held Morgan's face and rubbed it gently.
"I'm just kidding." Morgan grabbed Shiomi's hand, "I'll be with you no matter what you want to do. The Fourth Holy Grail War was originally the end for me, and all this time now is a reward like a gift."
Shiomi ran his fingers through her smooth hair and Morgan tilted her head to enjoy his touch.
"It's just as I expected. Compared to that kind of peaceful life, the battlefield is more suitable for my husband."
"…There are some things that can't be denied." Shiomi really felt that after spending several years in the Clock Tower, she was almost rusty.
"Don't worry, I will go with you even if we face a huge army."
"You're still talking about this now. I know everything."
"It's good to know."
Chapter 10 Bazett
There is a western-style building deep in the forest, at the foot of a hill a little distance away from Fuyuki Church.
It is a place sparsely populated, and most of the citizens of Fuyuki have only heard of such a place but have never been there. It is said that some curious people have gone there to look for it, but in the end they all got lost and walked out inexplicably and nothing happened.
In fact, there is indeed a Western-style house here, which is said to be the property of the Edelfeldt family, a famous Finnish magic family.
But ever since the Edelfeldt family was defeated in the War of Magician Sisters during the Third Holy Grail War, the family has never set foot in Fuyuki City again.
Therefore, the remaining assets were entrusted to the Magic Association for management.
Currently, this place is occupied by a participant of the Holy Grail War sent by the Magic Association, whose name is Bazette Fraga McCremmy.
Bazette arrived in Fuyuki a day earlier than Sakura, and summoned the Servant Lancer using the runestone earrings. He then conducted a comprehensive investigation of Fuyuki City before the Masters and Servants for the Holy Grail War were assembled.
Therefore, the battle that took place outside of Fuyuki Church tonight was undoubtedly noticed by Bazette and Lancer.
Out of caution, Bazette did not rush to the battlefield immediately. Instead, Lancer, who was scouting outside, went to check the battle situation, while he observed the situation on the battlefield through the five senses shared by the Master and the Servant.
"...I'm speechless. I told you to be cautious before confirming all the information about the Master, right? You even have time to go shopping. How leisurely are you?"
Bazett saw the battle situation through Lancer's eyes, but he didn't expect that this guy didn't return immediately, but went to a nearby 24-hour convenience store to buy things.
"You're not stupid enough to be discovered. You should eat something too. You won't grow taller if you only eat those canned foods, Bazette." Lancer said helplessly, swinging the shopping bag in his hand.
"I appreciate your kindness. But you must discuss it with me before taking any action in the future." Bazette took the shopping bag.
During the first three days, she was nervous because she summoned the hero she had admired since childhood, the Prince of Light, Churin.
But the opponent soon shattered Bazett's fantasy. In the seven days before the Holy Grail War, Bazett was always in a dazzled and helpless state.
This point is in line with the status of her servant.
However, these seven days were not without gain. After eliminating the monitors of the Magic Association, Lancer discovered during his investigation that there were servants who were secretly killing people and using the souls of ordinary people as food to replenish their strength.
But the opponent was Assassin, who had the ability to conceal his aura, and he had not yet taken priority in the battle, so he was unable to catch the opponent's flaws.
Several murders have been reported on the news in Fuyuki City in the past few days.
"Let's put this aside for now. What's the situation with the church?"
"It's hard to say." Lancer sat down and waved his hand. "It was Saber and Archer fighting first, but the two guys' masters seemed to know each other, so they stopped fighting halfway. Then when Berserker came, they tacitly joined forces to deal with Berserker's camp."
"I already know that." Bazette frowned. "I'm asking what you think? How are the combat capabilities of the three servants who showed up tonight?"
Lancer thought for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "I haven't fought them, I can only say that they all look very capable. Especially Archer, who can actually wield a sword and fight Saber on equal terms. As for Berserker, he doesn't look like someone you can kill easily, so you have to be prepared if you want to fight him."
"I agree with you," Bazette said. "According to the information we have obtained so far, the three masters should be Einzbern, Tousaka, and the magician of the Shiomi family. Let's not talk about Einzbern and Tousaka for now. We need to pay special attention to Saber's Master."
"Ah? Why? Could it be someone you know?" Lancer didn't understand.
"That's about right." Bazette nodded. "Her father was originally the designated executor of the seal, but when I entered the Magic Association, he had already retired from the front line."
By the time Bazette became the designated executor of the seal, it was already 1996, after the Fourth Holy Grail War.
At that time, Shiomi Tianxi was becoming famous because he killed the Lord of the Clock Tower in the Holy Grail War. Although Bazette had never had the opportunity to visit him, he had heard of that man's reputation from various places.
"Oh? In other words, she's the senior's daughter, right?" Lancer grinned.
"Not only that. Although he has retired from the front line, he is also said to be the strongest among our designated executors of the seal, without a doubt." Bazette commented truthfully, "It is said that he is extremely good at using rune magic, and can even use a few barely deciphered original runes."
"Oh..." Lancer made an interested sound, "So you think you need to keep an eye on that guy's daughter as well, right?"
"That's what I mean." Bazette stood up. "From what we know so far, all the Servants should have arrived. Starting tomorrow, I will also go out to investigate."
Lancer perked up: "What do you mean? My Master is finally going to end his strategy of holding his ground and is planning to take the initiative to challenge?"
"Lancer, are you thinking this is too simple?" Bazette was very dissatisfied. "Even if all the Servants are here, a battle like tonight will happen again. We must seize the opportunity and strike when all parties are unprepared."
"So, we're going to break into a chaotic battlefield? Not bad, that's right up my alley!" Lancer approved of Bazette's plan.
"You are such a... person who has no plan at all." Bazett felt tired.
The battle outside the church must have attracted more than just her group, and all parties should be acting in secret.
"This is a perfect balance for me, isn't it?" Lancer answered bluntly.
Lancer maintains a neutral stance towards all enemies and friends, even the Master is no exception.
That's his nature.
Yesterday’s friend may become today’s enemy, and today’s enemy may be on the same side tomorrow.
It was in that era that he fought to the very end.
Bazette, who had become extremely aware of this matter in the past seven or eight days, could not force Lancer to agree with her in attitude and approach.
"That's right."
Bazette picked up the food from the shopping bag, ready to replenish the energy consumed by staying up late.
Chapter 11 Transfer
"Sorry for the wait, get in the car."
The next morning, Shiomi took Morgan to retrieve the car he had stored in Xindu early in the morning.
He originally planned to leave it at home, but considering that it would be inconvenient to leave it at home in case he needed to use it at any time, he finally stored the car before his family went to London, England.
"It wasn't a long wait. It was actually quite fun to wait while watching you communicating with other people." Morgan, who was sitting in the reception area of the store, put down the coffee cup in his hand and responded to Shimizu who was walking over.
Getting in the car that was parked outside the store, Shiomi and Morgan headed towards Miyama Town.
In order to choose a place closer to Sakura, he gave up his plan to stay in a hotel during the Holy Grail War.
It was a rented place and it wasn't even convenient to set up a magic workshop.
It's really not cost-effective to book an entire floor like Kenneth did ten years ago.
"If it were me, I would choose to evacuate the ordinary people directly and then blow up the entire building instead of charging head-on."
When he was assisting Kiritsugu Emiya to go to Germany to pick up Illya, they talked about this on the way and Kiritsugu Emiya said this.
Although it was a bit crude and crude, Shiomi felt that any magician with some skill could survive that kind of explosion, but this time he couldn't help but consider this possibility.
However, Kiritsugu also highly praised Shiomi's precise action that was like beheading, which could be considered a kind of commercial flattery.
"You know what? The people in the store just now kept complimenting me about you." Shiomi told Morgan with a smile.
"Oh?"
"Something like 'Your wife is obviously not an ordinary person'." Xi Jian laughed non-stop, "But don't mind it, they just want to take this opportunity to promote their inventory so that I can sell this car and buy a more expensive one."
Morgan glanced at Shiomi's profile and became cheerful as well: "You're obviously praising me, why are you so happy?"
"You're asking even though you already know the answer."
"That's right." Morgan asked knowingly, "So, where is the new base?"
"About three blocks away from my old home, there's a house that's about the same size as the Emiya family's." Shiomi thought for a moment, "Five years ago, I happened to see a real estate company listing it, so I went over to inquire and bought it."
"Five years ago?" Morgan was surprised.
"Originally, I think Sakura and Kallen will need to come back to Japan to live after they become adults. It's not good to have no personal space." Shiomi thought for a moment, "Sakura is one year older, and the house was originally intended to be bought for her. Although it's not like the Tousaka family, which is right on the spiritual vein, the surrounding environment is still good, and we can make good use of the Fuyuki spiritual vein."
"Since when did you start thinking like a magician?" Morgan said.
"It's not like that. I'm a magician." Shiomi raised her eyebrows. "Besides, Sakura is also a magician. Of course I have to consider the needs of a magician."
Morgan nodded slightly and said, "So you didn't tell me about this when you went to England five years ago."
"You're not interested, are you..." Xi Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you going to blame me for spending money recklessly now?"
"Not really. I haven't even dug into your relationship with that puppeteer, so how could I mind such a thing?" Morgan elegantly placed his hand on the car window and gently supported his head. "Even if I handed over the entire country's finances to you, I would feel at ease."
"...No, that kind of thing is obviously not a job for humans. It would be exhausting to count a few times." Xi Jian curled his lips, "I'll just take care of the family affairs."
Morgan did not comment on his statement, but pointed out: "I didn't say it can't be done."
"How do you know if you haven't tried it?"
Hearing his words, Morgan smiled again.
The car drove across the Fuyuki Bridge and arrived at Miyama Town. They turned left and right, and when they turned at an intersection, they saw Sakura and Rin waiting for the traffic light in the car.
"It looks like we're going to school together?" Morgan said.
"Most likely they have already formed an alliance." Shiomi's voice slowed down, somewhat relieved, "Compared to other masters, perhaps a blood-related sister is more trustworthy."
"Not necessarily. It's not impossible that we need to be more cautious." Morgan looked at Shiomi slyly, "You know the reference sample, right?"
Shiomi closed his eyes speechlessly, then slowly opened them. The red light turned green, and the stagnant traffic started moving again. He turned the steering wheel to the left and turned into the road in the opposite direction of Suiyuan Group Academy.
--------
"What are you looking at, Sakura? It's time to go over there."
Rin pulled on Sakura's sleeve.
"No, I just thought the car that just drove over there looked very much like my dad's car." Ying took another look before looking away.
There was a lot of traffic during the morning rush hour and she couldn't find the car she had just driven.
"Maybe you've been away from home for a while and you miss your family," Lin joked.
"Maybe." Ying felt that her sister was right. She must have had this illusion because she hadn't spoken to her father for more than a week.
The two walked in the crowd, followed by Mordred in a suit.
Archer followed in spirit form from a high place.
Today is a school day, and originally, Rin thought that she was the only one who needed to go to school.
