People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Even though Emiya Kiritsugu had exposed his little tricks right in front of him, Tōsaka Tokiomi still managed to tell a lie without blushing or faltering, his attitude predominantly sincere. This shameless scene made the eyelids of the people present twitch wildly.

However, although it looks like this.

However, Tōsaka Tokiomi, whose plan was discovered by others, was cursing in his heart.

First, he cursed. Assassin, that bunch of incompetent losers, didn't they possess A-level aura concealment? How could they still be detected? What a bunch of useless idiots.

Then, he continued to scold Archer Gilgamesh, who was unwilling to accompany him.

Ever since he summoned this guy, the other party has never given him peace of mind. Even though he begged so much this time, hoping that he could accompany him to discuss an alliance, he was directly rejected by the other party with a light-hearted sentence: "I have no intention of cooperating with cultivators who want to spy on my treasures, and there is no reason to cooperate with them. The victory of the Holy Grail War has long been in my hands. If you want to go, then go by yourself!"

Then she decisively transformed into a spirit and disappeared, never to return, leaving him alone in the room at a loss.

Because of this, without Gilgamesh's protection, Tōsaka Tokiomi certainly didn't dare to go out easily, let alone enter Saber's territory alone, so he could only bring his disciples Kotomine Kirei and Assaasin with him to prevent any accidents.

However, he did not expect that the excuse he had carefully prepared before coming was easily seen through by the other party after just one encounter, which made his originally calm state of mind a little crazy.

But even so, Tōsaka Tokiomi knew that he could not show it and could only continue to endure and lie dormant. The most urgent task was to eliminate the two godslayers who posed the greatest threat to Gilgamesh.

Apart from that, he can just put everything else aside for now. Once Scathach and Finn leave, things will be back under his control.

When the Holy Grail War draws to a close, no matter which Servant, even Archer, he will use the Command Spells to teach the other party the majesty of a Master and the humility of a Servant.

Just a Servant, yet he dares to be so arrogant...

Although he appears to be gentle and easy-going, Tōsaka Tokiomi is constantly suppressing a rage in his heart.

"Heh, it seems that Master Tohsaka is even more shameless than I expected..."

Emiya Kiritsugu sneered at Tōsaka Tokiomi's hypocritical behavior, then looked him over several times before coldly asking, "Let me ask again why the Tōsaka clan leader formed an alliance. If you wish to cooperate, please answer me truthfully and share the information you have. Is that alright?"

"Of course, since we are allies, there will definitely be no concealment."

Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled and said, "I believe the Einzbern family has also seen the powerful strength possessed by those two Lancers. Without a doubt, they are the greatest threat in this Holy Grail War. They are the greatest enemy standing in the way of our three great families."

"You must know that the Holy Grail War is a miraculous ritual painstakingly constructed by the ancestors of the Tōsaka, Matou, and Einzbern families. Therefore, the Holy Grail rightfully belongs to one of the Three Great Families and should not be given to outsiders. Therefore, I hope that the Einzbern family will cooperate with me for the sake of their ancestors, and we can discuss sharing the Holy Grail after we have eliminated the outsiders."

Sharing the Holy Grail…

Looking at Tōsaka Tokiomi's sincere smile, Emiya Kiritsugu only felt disgusted.

These magicians are all dirty-minded, and all they say is a bunch of nonsense.

It's true that the two Lancers are threatening, but the Archer he summoned is even more threatening. The strength he displayed last night is more than enough to crush any other rider in this war.

He knew clearly that Tōsaka Tokiomi's inner thought was to protect Archer from being eliminated by Finn and Scathach, unite forces to eliminate these two biggest threats, and then slowly deal with the others.

If Scathach and Finn were really eliminated, this guy would definitely turn against them immediately, ruthlessly tear up the alliance, and destroy him and Saber together.

"...Sharing the Holy Grail, haha, Tōsaka Tokiomi, do you really take me for a fool? Putting aside the combat power of your Archer, just the number of Servants alone, you have two. And I only have Saber on my side. Do you think this kind of cooperation is really fair to me?"

"Also, since it's the long-cherished wish of the three great families, why don't you invite the Matou family as well? I guessed that one of the Lancers might belong to the Matou family. I think I'm right, right? Tōsaka Tokiomi."

Because he was surprised by Tōsaka Tokiomi's shamelessness that was comparable to a bulletproof vest, Emiya Kiritsugu simply changed his address from the head of the Tōsaka family to Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"I'm ashamed to say... As you saw, two Lancers appeared in this Holy Grail War. So, I infer that there's a high probability that a contestant violated the rules and performed an illegal summon. If nothing unexpected happens, it's Caster, and the Matou Servant is very likely Caster's Master."

"We are one of the three great families, and we are the family that designed the Command Spells and the rules. Yet, we did not expect that they would violate the rules and resort to such despicable means in order to achieve victory. Therefore, we, the Tōsaka family, are ashamed to be associated with them! Moreover, as fellow three great families, we should correct their mistakes and guide them back to the right path."

Even though his thoughts were seen through and his little tricks were exposed, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not show any anger or loss of composure at this moment. Instead, he complained sadly about the despicable behavior of the Matou family in front of Emiya Kiritsugu, as if he was extremely heartbroken by the Matou family's decline.

"If you're worried about the loss of our lives, then why not sign a contract? When there are only three of us left, Kotomine Kirei will be stripped of his Mastership. We can sign the contract through a literary contest or have it witnessed by the overseers of the Holy Church. What do you think?"

Having discussed the topic to this point, Tōsaka Tokiomi simply stopped pretending and directly put forward his conditions to Emiya Kiritsugu to show his sincerity.

He knew very well that at this moment, after losing the first battle and being outmatched by King Arthur, the Einzbern family had no better choice than to cooperate with him.

It can be said that this is an open conspiracy.

And this cooperation is indeed a win-win situation, but it's just that his chances of winning are greater.

"This one……"

In response to this, Emiya Kiritsugu could only sigh helplessly, and after thinking for a long time, he finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept this obvious conspiracy.

"I agree, Master Tousaka, let's make this an alliance. But I hope you can keep your promise."

"A wise decision, Einzbern representative. Rest assured, now that we have become allies, the Tōsaka family will honor their promise."

Seeing Emiya Kiritsugu's agreement, Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes lit up, and then he nodded complacently, completely unaware of the murderous intent and coldness hidden in his eyes.

You know, in another different world line, all the masters who dared to sign a treaty with him were dead...

If possible, Emiya Kiritsugu really wanted to bury the huge threat of Tōsaka Tokiomi right here. After all, when the other party entered his territory, it was like meat delivered to his door, and it would be a waste not to eat it.

However, considering Saber's super-demon record and combat power, and thinking of the absolute shock of the Golden Heroic Spirit, Kiritsugu Emiya had no choice but to give up the idea of trying it and possibly dying, and chose to cooperate with her.

Moreover, when he learned that one of the riders on Tōsaka Tokiomi's side was actually Assaasin, he already had a plan in mind.

Irisviel was currently missing, abducted by someone unknown, and he was anxious because he hadn't received any intelligence yet. But now, knowing that the other party had an assassin, a skilled in gathering intelligence and stealth, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but regain hope.

He wanted to find out from Assassin whether he had any information about Irisviel's current whereabouts, and find out who abducted his wife.

As for who the murderer is...

The suspicions of Tōsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei before him could be cleared.

After all, if it was really done by the two of them, they could have used Irisviel as a hostage to threaten her, and there was no need to be so humble and seek an alliance.

So who is the murderer who did that?

Emiya Kiritsugu continued to ponder. That night, Kayneth was chasing him relentlessly, and the two Lancers, Rider, and his Master were also on the battlefield. They had absolutely no time to commit the crime. Assassin, the most likely suspect, had also been ruled out. So, it was indeed...

The Matou family?

After thinking of this possibility, Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes gradually became solemn.

In any case, they really need to attack the Matou family to find out the truth.

"Okay, since you've agreed, let's not delay any further. Let's go together and eliminate a Lancer first, so we don't have to worry about it any later."

Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly spoke.

He is now eager to eliminate the threat.

"Hmm? Do you mean to attack the Matou family right now?"

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, he felt that Tōsaka Tokiomi was a little too hasty.

With all seven Knights present, and even counting the absent Caster, there might even be an eighth Knight. Any rash action would inevitably draw retaliation from the remaining Servants. A direct attack on the Matou clan would likely give other Servants an opportunity to exploit the situation. While the two Lancers posed the greatest threat, the remaining Servants were no pushovers.

"No, the Matou family has deep roots here. There are many defensive restrictions, not to mention the possible presence of Caster and Lancer. We can't act hastily."

Tōsaka Tokiomi shook his head and immediately offered his own suggestion: "So we should first target the other Lancer, prioritize eliminating the lone Servants and Masters, and then find a way to break into the Matou family."

"So I've already asked Assassin to gather intelligence on the other Lancer. I believe they'll have results soon."

"No need, I know where the other one is."

Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly said.

"Hmm? So fast? The intelligence gathering speed is even faster than Assassin..."

Tōsaka Tokiomi was stunned. He suddenly felt that the Einzbern family seemed to be more dangerous than he had imagined.

"No, it's mainly because the Master is too upright."

Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head, then took out a photo from his arms and threw it directly into Tōsaka Tokiomi's hands to share his information.

When Tōsaka Tokiomi took the photo and saw the familiar building on it, his expression was slightly stunned, because he was so familiar with this building that he could even name this bustling commercial area at first sight.

"...At the Hyatt Hotel, how dare someone show up so openly?"

……

……

"Tōsaka Tokiomi... is nothing more than a self-righteous fellow."

After discussing the alliance and tactics, and waiting for Tōsaka Tokiomi to leave, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was sitting on the chair, revealed a sneer on his face.

Artoria beside him naturally saw his true thoughts and couldn't help but look a little hesitant.

"Master, is this kind of cooperation really trustworthy? And you seem..."

"No need to say more, Saber."

Interrupting Altria's unspoken words, Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head, then put on his coat and got ready.

"The situation is urgent now. Irisviel's whereabouts are unknown. I don't have the mood or time to discuss with you how to fight. You just need to follow my instructions."

"It's true that Tōsaka Tokiomi wants to use me, but am I not also using him? Since he doesn't mind being my pawn, then I naturally won't refuse. With that guy's arrogance, even if you are not as good as Archer, I am fully confident that I can destroy him."

Thinking without paying attention to Altria's increasingly ugly expression, Emiya Kiritsugu calmly said that he would backstab his ally.

Without waiting for Saber to argue, he had already loaded the Stinger RPGs and numerous high-explosive weapons he had prepared into the trunk of the car. To ensure safety, he even prepared several high-yield time bombs, C4, and other weapons.

"For now, just cooperate with him honestly. I want to use Assassin's abilities to help me find Irisviel."

Emiya Kiritsugu opened the car door, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and spoke with a cold expression.

"When we capture the Matou family and find Irisviel, that will be the day Tōsaka Tokiomi dies."

After he finished speaking, he no longer had any conversation with Artoria in front of him.

He got in the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight into the distance.

Only Artoria was left standing there in a daze, looking at the figure that was gradually moving away and muttering to herself.

"Is this... really the right thing to do?"

In just one day, her once resolute heart fell into confusion.

Chapter 5: A Group of Old Foxes (5K words)

Rumble——! !

The violent explosions continued to ring out, and the violent shaking made the whole room tremble.

"Is it finally here? I've been waiting for so long..."

Facing the crumbling building, Luo Wei sat on the sofa in the workshop, comforting Sakura Tohsaka, who had just been forced to sleep by magic, while observing the situation outside through a mirror on the table. There were fallen debris everywhere around the room.

Compared to the frightened and nervous Weber, and the angry Kenneth who heard that the other party was bombarding his magic workshop, Lowe was obviously much calmer at this moment.

Scathach on the side smiled, flipped her palms, and two vermilion magic spears appeared in her palms. Runes kept rising around her under her control. At this moment, she had completely entered a state of combat readiness.

At this moment, the entire building was still shaking violently. Faced with the fierce artillery fire coming from afar and the timed explosions around, even Kenneth, who was quite confident in his workshop, was panicking at this moment.

I cried in my heart: "Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck..."

He really miscalculated this time.

He clearly didn't mind speculating the ugliness of those bastards with the greatest malice, but when he fought them in person, he still found that he had thought too simply.

These bastards don't care about any mysterious hidden rules at all, and their tactics are completely like those of gangsters, no, terrorists.

Kenneth originally thought that the Origin Bomb was the opponent's limit, but he never dreamed that those guys would even take out weapons of mass destruction such as time bombs and RPGs, and use them on him, catching him off guard.

The workshop that he had carefully arranged was now completely useless under this unethical attack.

Not to mention entering the workshop, the other party even wanted to skip the battle with him and directly use the collapsed building to crush him to death.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you damn bastard! I won't let you go!!"

Rage had clouded his brain. No matter how unwilling he was, Kenneth knew at this moment that he had to give up his magic workshop, the countless precious gifts and three top-level magic furnaces in it.

Although the things in here are worth nearly 10 billion pounds, Kenneth understands that as long as he has the green mountains, he will not be afraid of running out of firewood. He can earn money again when he returns, but if he loses his life, he will really lose everything. He knows which is more important.

So, at the critical moment, Kenneth hurriedly reached out to grab Sakura Tohsaka beside Lowe, wanting to control the Moon Spirit Essence to protect her, and then hurriedly shouted to Weber and Lowe.

"You two idiots, what are you still squatting there for?! Hurry up and leave!"

"Rider, take us away quickly!!"

Weber also shouted hurriedly.

However, Iskandar on the side just flicked his ears, seemingly not paying attention to Kenneth's shouts and Weber's orders.

This made them even more anxious, thinking that Iskandar was going to do something weird at this time.
