People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Although he had already guessed when he was ordered by Ahadion to summon that person, with his despicable character, there might be some conflicts between him and the king.

But when he actually summoned it to this world, the dissonance was far more outrageous than he had imagined.

The king who protects humanity, the knight king of Britain, King Arthur in Celtic mythology, this legendary king who left a vivid description in mythology was actually a woman.

This surprised Emiya Kiritsugu, who summoned it, and he also felt as if he had been deceived.

Through this brief contact, his original bad premonitions gradually came true.

Her old-fashioned chivalry, her disciplined chivalry, her every move revealed the nobleness of King Arthur. Hehe… there was no need to continue probing or questioning her. Emiya Kiritsugu knew very well that given her personality, she would never accept his fighting style. Her naiveté was a perfect match for his wife, Irisviel, but it also left him feeling deeply disappointed.

This disappointment was not due to King Arthur's strength.

After all, the strength of heroes is largely determined by legends and original texts. King Arthur, who is so famous in Celtic mythology, is not weak no matter how you think about it. His strength is definitely among the top heroes.

However, Emiya Kiritsugu could not see any compatibility between him and her. Perhaps even their meeting was a mistake.

In the Holy Grail War, powerful teammates working together can unleash incredible power. But if a pair has no compatibility, what good is it, even if they are powerful? They will only hinder each other in combat, let alone cooperation.

Then the situation is very clear. If you want to win the Holy Grail War, you can only rely on yourself. King Arthur is just a helper, and she can hold back the other servants. In the end, the bullet that can truly decide the outcome of this war is still yourself.

The opponents of the Holy Grail War are definitely not just the heroes who have reappeared in this era. It is undoubtedly more appropriate to target the Masters who are more fragile than the Servants.

And it just so happens that he is an expert in this area.

If it was just a competition of magic and a head-on attack, not to mention the famous crown magician Aozaki Touko and the Clock Tower Lord of the El-Melloi School, even Tōsaka Tokiomi, a traditional magician, would be able to crush them.

But if it comes to life-or-death assassinations... then that's what he's best at.

During this war, he will also let those magicians experience for themselves why they were given the title of Magician Killer.

While thinking about this, Emiya Kiritsugu pressed the remaining bullets into the chamber of the gun.

Then he turned his head to look out the window, his slightly tired gaze gradually drifting into the deep night sky.

……

……

On the other side, on the beach of Fuyuki City.

Under the moonlight, a beautiful white-haired woman like an elf took nimble steps, leaving a series of footprints on the beach, and from time to time she let out a clear laugh like a silver bell.

Today she had just left the castle that she had never stepped out of since she was born. Everything outside was particularly new to Irisviel.

The deep blue sea dotted with stars under the night sky in front of her, and the salty and humid sea breeze that was completely different from the cold wind, made her feel a novelty she had never experienced before.

Born as pure as a blank sheet of paper, she can easily be stained with different colors, experience the beauty she has never felt before, and get real joy from it.

For Irisviel, this feeling was... freedom.

Something she had never had before.

“Irisviel…”

Looking at Irisviel strolling happily on the beach, Artoria, who was wearing a black butler uniform behind her, couldn't help but be a little dazed when she saw her innocent smile.

Seeing such a pure smile and Irisviel's free figure, the outline of the memory in her mind that she had long since deliberately concealed became clearer at this moment.

Wasn't I, once upon a time, a girl like this? Was Altria in her earliest days, that pure-as-a-lily Lily, as beautiful and pure as Irisviel now?

Looking back at herself now, even Artoria couldn't help but look back at the road she had taken.

She had truly experienced so much along the way, and so many people and events had gradually transformed her into what she is now...

Just as Altria looked back, feeling a little emotional, she suddenly seemed to sense something. Her originally calm and nostalgic gaze suddenly focused, and she turned her head to look in one direction, as if sensing something. The green fighting spirit wrapped around her petite body also involuntarily erupted at this moment.

"What happened, Saber?"

The green gale danced wildly near the coast, and the air began to buzz.

Irisviel, who was strolling ahead, also noticed the fierce fighting spirit erupting from Saber behind her, so she couldn't help but turn around and ask.

"Just now, a Servant took the initiative to send out an invitation to me. No, it should be said that he was inviting all the Servants in this city to come."

Altria explained.

"So, Irisviel, should we go over and take a look?"

"Ah? A heroic spirit is actively sending out a message inviting us over... Is it the one we met today?"

When other Servants were mentioned, Irisviel immediately thought of the purple-haired Heroic Spirit she had encountered today.

"I, don't know... Although the aura he exudes is extremely powerful and sharp, I'm not Caster after all, so it's difficult to deduce his identity based on a few magical powers. If you want to know, you have to go and see for yourself."

Altria shook her head.

"What should we do? Irisviel, should we go check it out?"

"Huh? Wait a minute, Saber, I'll go ask Kiritsugu first."

"it is good."

Just as Irisviel was about to call to inquire about her husband's wishes, the cell phone that had been in her handbag rang. The caller was none other than Emiya Kiritsugu, who had also noticed something was wrong. She quickly answered the call to inquire about the plan.

After quietly talking to her husband for a while until he hung up the phone, Irisviel nodded slightly, then nodded to the Sword Heroic Spirit beside her and said.

"Kiritsugu said he also sensed the magic power that was just released and wants us to go to the port to fight. He will arrive soon."

"Oh, so that's the direction of this city's port? I see. Then Irisviel, let's set off."

After receiving the Master's order, Artoria nodded, then like a knight, she gently took Irisviel's white hand and escorted her to the place of the scheduled battle.

……

On the other side, in the underground parking lot near the Fuyuki City Gymnasium.

Luo Wei was still diligently improving his workshop and completing the ritual formation beneath his feet, while also waiting for an opportunity, or perhaps verifying a certain answer...

"Is this... a challenge? Someone actually has the same idea... that's really bold and interesting."

Suddenly, Scathach, who was sitting in a chair flipping through a modern fashion magazine, stood up, walked out the door, looked in one direction, and talked to herself.

"Have you noticed that too, Queen Scathach?"

Rowe, who also noticed something unusual, stopped what he was doing and asked Scathach.

"Hmm, there's this guy who's so arrogant that he's actually unleashing his magic power. I guess he's trying to attract more challengers. He's quite an interesting guy. I was originally planning to take the initiative."

Scathach narrowed her eyes, looked in that direction and spoke slowly.

"Is that so... someone else did this before you did? But that's no wonder, since you were the one flipping through fashion magazines the moment you got back."

In response to this, Luo Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and he probably already had the answer in his heart.

It seems that, apart from myself, this world line hasn't changed much...

But, my cheap teacher, I clearly left you a letter warning you not to come, so why are you still going down this dead end?

Thinking of the figure of a certain lemon head, Luo Wei couldn't help feeling helpless.

However, it was too late to say anything now. Since the other party had already come, it would be impossible for him to escape easily. He also knew that with his teacher's temper, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to make him give up. Moreover, the other party's purpose in coming here was most likely because of him...

"How's it going? Caster, do you want to go over and take a look?"

"Of course, since someone has challenged me to a duel, there's no reason not to go. Besides... I can sense the clear, flowing magic and fighting spirit emanating from him. He must be a skilled fighter."

"Being able to personally fight against such a powerful person in this era is also what I long for."

Scathach nodded and directly answered Rowe's question, then her eyes revealed the purest fighting spirit.

"Well... in that case, let's set off immediately. Remember to bring Orange with you. I'll provide you with support when necessary. And it seems something unusual happened at the Tōsaka residence tonight..."

Chapter 4: The Clash of Gun and Sword (4/)

The warehouse district at the edge of the port in Fuyuki City.

The cold moonlight was as bright as frost, pouring down from the hazy night, adding a bit of brightness to this empty area.

The location here is very remote. The ocean surrounding it is surging. A large number of containers and unmanned machinery are quietly docked here, like building blocks placed in designated areas to block the footsteps of passers-by, providing a natural barrier. Not only that, in addition to the obstruction of buildings, in order to prevent ordinary people from entering by mistake, this area has also been set up by magicians to disperse idlers, suggesting that ordinary people leave quickly. All this has successfully divided the urban area and this port into two completely different worlds.

Soon this place will become a battlefield and will be chosen as the stage for the ancient heroes to perform. The moonlight tonight is sad and beautiful. Under the gaze of the rolling waves, everything reveals that what happens here next will never be peaceful.

A handsome man with long golden hair, a fair and handsome face, eyes as bright as gems, and wisdom flashing all the time, is standing here holding a strange spear.

His fingers are long and clean, his temperament is unique and elegant, and his face is like the first rays of dawn, with a touch of gentle glow in his handsomeness that makes people stop and watch.

The man looked up at the night sky above his head, a smile playing on his lips. Then he unleashed all his magical power without reservation, letting his aura radiate freely, just like a fisherman casting out an attractive bait, quietly waiting for his Servant to take the bait.

And now someone has actually arrived...

"Wow? Looks like there are finally some changes on the battlefield."

Under the deep night, a burly man with short red hair, a rugged face and strong muscles that stretched his clothes, stood on top of a huge bridge in Fuyuki City like a proud lion, overlooking the battle happening not far away. The bright red cloak on his body began to flutter in the evening breeze.

The man squatted down, stretched out his broad palm to stroke the beard on his chin, and stared at the battle situation in the distance with wide eyes.

In the steel jungle built of containers, a petite knight in pale silver armor was confronting the golden spearman who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Interesting, have the heroes started to arrive? This is really exciting..."

A sigh escaped his lips.

“Ahhh, Rider! It’s too high, it’s really too high up here! Hurry and let me down!!”

Weber, who had been ignored by the red-haired man, was now shivering in the cold night wind. He was at least dozens of meters above the ground, looking at the endless stream of cars below. Thinking of the consequences of falling, Weber's legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Hey, little brat, you're still the Master of my King of Conquerors, Iskandar. How can you be so cowardly? Come, stand up straight and join me in watching this war that doesn't belong to this era!"

"Rider! What the hell are you talking about, you idiot? How can I possibly see from such a distance? I'm not a Servant! And if I lose my balance and fall from such a high place, it will be a big problem..."

"Even though you can't see, don't you still have magic tricks?"

Glancing at the little Master lying on the steel beam and shivering beside him, the King of Conquerors felt somewhat helpless. He raised his hand and summoned the Divine Wheel, then tucked him under his arm and carried him up.

"Also, casually saying such dejected words before a war is a big no-no, little Master! Although you are indeed a little small in stature and height, you must not be intimidated. We are about to face heroes from different eras, and such a perfunctory attitude will not do."

"Even if you say so... I don't know what to do now..."

Seeing the King of Conquerors' extremely serious eyes, Waver sighed and said helplessly.

He even participated in this so-called magic ceremony by accident, without even understanding it in advance. He stole Teacher Kenneth's relics in a fit of rage and then borrowed money to fly over.

Therefore, for him, this magical ritual called the Holy Grail War was undoubtedly confusing and at a loss...

The passion that had originally been in his heart to steal the relic and immediately fly to Fuyuki City to win the Holy Grail War was extinguished when he summoned the Heroic Spirit and was hung up in the cold wind for half an hour.

Waver turned to look at the tall, proud man beside him, feeling a mixture of emotions...

He had realized that his impulsive behavior seemed to have dragged him into some extraordinary magic ritual, but it was too late to retreat now. He had no choice but to go all the way.

"Don't know what to do? That means you are very confused now..."

"..."

Weber said nothing, but just sighed helplessly.

"However, I know how to handle this situation. Since you don't know what to do, just set a goal for yourself. For example... first, seize the Holy Grail! Then slowly figure out how to use it."

Iskandar clapped his hands violently and then spoke to Waver.

"Anyway, you're joining the Holy Grail War for the Holy Grail, right? If that's the case, then forget about figuring out how to do it. Just focus on obtaining the Holy Grail and becoming the final victor. That way, you won't be lost!"

"Obtain the Holy Grail? Are you talking about me?"

Listening to Iskandar's bold words, Waver couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He then turned his gaze, immediately covering his eyes with strengthening magic, and looked at the two blond heroes fighting fiercely at the port. He felt a chill in his heart.

"Isn't this obvious? Why participate in the Holy Grail War if we don't obtain the Holy Grail? Look at those two heroes over there, aren't they fighting each other for the Holy Grail?"

"Even if you can't, don't you still have me? As long as I'm here, whether it's land or sea, I'll conquer them all! Even the Holy Grail is a piece of cake! And I can't wait any longer."

"Eh?"

"Seeing them fight so fiercely, witnessing the encounter and fierce battle between heroes from different eras, my heart of conquest can no longer be restrained, hahahaha——"

The King of Conquerors said this with a broad grin, then leaped onto his Noble Phantasm, the Divine Wheel.

"Ah? Just rush over like this? Didn't you say you wanted to watch their fight here? And if we rush over like this, won't we be trapped by the concentrated fire from both sides?" Weber shouted hurriedly when he realized what Iskandar was going to do.

“—Hahaha!! So what? My desire to conquer will never cease. As for what happens afterwards, let’s talk about it later!”

Amidst Waver's exclamation, the self-willed King of Conquerors burst into laughter. He firmly grasped the reins with both hands, steered his beloved vehicle, and shouted, "Gee! Never mind, little Master, we're going to join in the fun. Seeing them fighting so fiercely, I can't stand it any longer! Come on! Join this grand gathering with me!"
