I have a hero simulator

Hisau Maiya seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. She had noticed a strand of hair on Altria's head a long time ago and couldn't help but want to smooth it out.

"stop!"

Seeing Hisau Maiya approaching, Artoria took a tactical step back and said vigilantly: "This, this hair symbolizes the glory of the king, no one can touch it... Well, that's it! You are not my Master, don't make such rude gestures again!"

"Oh, sorry." Hisahi Maiya scratched his head, looking apologetic and puzzled, "Why doesn't the history book say that Ahoge represents the glory of the king? Is everything I read fake?"

"I refuse to answer!"

Artoria closed her eyes and placed her hands on the hilt of her sword, indicating that she should not ask this ahoge any more questions.

"Ok."

Hisau Maiya smiled and shrugged, but unexpectedly discovered that the Saber in front of her seemed easier to get along with than she had imagined.

He does not have the arrogance and domineering attitude of other kings.

...

the other side.

The Einzbern family camp.

"But speaking of which, Shen Yuan, there's still some time before the Holy Grail War begins. Why did we come to Fuyuki City so early?"

Alice, the Snow White Princess wearing a silver fox plush coat, was sitting on a soft sofa, hugging a man's arm.

The girl had clear ruby eyes, crystal skin, and a beauty that did not belong to this world. Under her earnest gaze, even Shen Yuan was unwilling to lie.

"What if I did this for you?"

"Eh?" Irisviel was slightly stunned, and her pretty face felt slightly hot.

"Of course, another reason is to place wards in advance and prepare for the upcoming battle. This way, I can have vision all over the map. This way, the entire Holy Grail War situation will be under my control."

Shen Yuan's explanation surprised Irisviel.

"So clever~!" Although Alice didn't know how Shen Yuan gained vision of other areas, she had heard that there was a steel magic device called "surveillance" in the human world.

It's probably something like this.

However, due to the limited number and range of reconnaissance guards, Shen Yuan could only choose a few important locations to place them. Secondly, although these guards could be invisible, they could still be attacked and destroyed by external forces.

As for where to put them, the first guard was placed at the entrance of Fuyuki Bridge, and the second guard was placed in the garden of the villa to prevent any unscrupulous guys from launching a sneak attack.

The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth guards have not yet been placed.

Shen Yuan didn't know where the bases of the Tosaka and Matou families were. He only knew that they were in Fuyuki City, but it was obvious that they would not appear near the city. If he took the initiative to look for them, there would be certain risks.

Of course, there is a way.

It is to use the souls of the dead to search.

After coaxing Alice to sleep, Shen Yuan appeared in the courtyard and summoned several "ghost" creatures that were not very powerful but had good concealment.

Shen Yuan ordered them to search for other participants in the Holy Grail War, but not to act on their own before the Holy Grail War began. They should come back and report immediately after finding the location. The other ghosts only needed to roughly monitor their actions.

As for why these contestants were not killed in advance, only someone with a mental problem would do it at this time.

They haven't summoned the Heroic Spirit yet, and now they are just killing an ordinary magician. If there are not 7 people, the game cannot start and will always be in the state of selecting people.

When the game officially starts, you can kill as many people as you want, it's no problem to kill them all.

Just as Shen Yuan, the heroic spirit representing the Einzbern family that had been defeated time and again, took the first step, the Tōsaka family, one of the other two of the Three Great Families, also made a move.

......

Drive about dozens of kilometers from the bustling streets of Fuyuki City towards the forest.

In the remote mountains, with dense forests growing on both sides of the national road, a car was driving towards a nearby hidden castle.

"Is the Holy Grail War about to begin again?"

The door of the black limousine opened, and an elegant, calm and determined figure walked out, adjusting the lapels of his red suit, and walked towards the castle.

He is the fifth generation head of the Tohsaka family and the manager of the land veins in Fuyuki City. He is a proud, extremely confident man with pride and pride.

——Tousaka Tokiomi.

"Even so, we must maintain the elegance that belongs to the magus clan."

Tōsaka Tokiomi muttered to himself, then raised his hand to smooth the short hair on his forehead.

Looking at himself in the mirror, with his carefully trimmed hair and beard, and his bow tie not a bit out of place, a smile appeared on his straight and resolute face.

Even his pure eyes beneath his sword-like brows sparkled with brilliance. His every word and action reflected the old-fashioned solemnity of a medieval aristocrat, as well as the arrogance deep in his bones.

"Alas, but speaking of it, it's time for me to leave my own bloodline."

During this period, Tōsaka Tokiomi was still very young. He had not yet married and had children, but he was obviously aware of this problem, because Tōsaka Tokiomi also knew how dangerous the Holy Grail War was. If he was accidentally tricked by some old man, he would not be without descendants to inherit his noble magus bloodline.

The first thing Tohsaka Tokiomi has to consider is how to pass on his talent as a magician to the next generation.

To put it bluntly, it means finding a partner.

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who has been single for a long time, has already found his target, a girl named Zenjo Aoi. She is much younger than himself, but was born in the Zenjo family, whose ancestors were magicians several generations ago. Although she is now a civilian with nothing to do with magic, the magic gene still flows in her blood.

It was precisely because of this that Tōsaka Tokiomi proposed to her. Regardless of love or anything else, marriage came first and then love. Leaving a bloodline was the most important thing.

As he expected, the well-educated girl named 'Zencheng Kui' had to respond and agree to his proposal after being persuaded by her parents.

Even though Tōsaka Tokiomi had only met her once, it didn't matter anymore. The wedding was during this period, the sooner the better.

But speaking of it, Zenjo Aoi seems to have a childhood sweetheart, whose name seems to be Matou Kariya, who has been harassing her recently. I have to find a way to teach him a lesson and let him know that the women of the Tohsaka family are not so easy to approach.

Thinking of this, Tōsaka Tokiomi pushed open the castle that his family had left in Fuyuki City since ancient times. Whenever the Holy Grail War came, the Tōsaka family would select an outstanding magician to go to this castle to prepare in advance before the war.

By the way, as long as the magician has a strong desire, he can summon the Heroic Spirit in advance at any time, but Tōsaka Tokiomi considers himself a proud magician and will definitely not sign a contract with an unknown person.

He already had his own goal, which was the oldest hero king Gilgamesh in the legend. He also found the shed skin of the first snake in ancient times. When everything was ready, he would summon this strongest heroic spirit.

It can be said that in order to win the Fourth Holy Grail War, Tōsaka Tokiomi used a lot of strategies.

He was planning to have his old friend Kotomine Risho form an alliance with the Holy Church, which was the supervisor, to learn the information and movements of each Master and thus gain an advantage in intelligence.

In addition, Tōsaka Tokiomi also interfered with the progress of the Fourth Holy Grail War through the church as an intermediary.

To put it nicely, it is called far-sightedness; to put it bluntly, it is called cunning and sly.

Of course, Tōsaka Tokiomi wasn't the only one who made arrangements in advance.

As for the Einzbern family, which is regarded as the shame of the three great families and has been defeated repeatedly, Shen Yuan has already begun to "place scouts" in advance. Shen Yuan does not have such a wide network of contacts as Tōsaka Tokiomi, but information warfare requires efficiency and concealment.

Hearing about something from the outside can never compare to seeing it with your own eyes.

No matter how clever the methods of this mustache gentleman Tōsaka Tokiomi, who is called "the sin of this world" and "it's all his fault" in the future, are.

But the moment he appeared in the 'Scout Guard', the situation changed instantly.

Of course.

If I have to say the only regret is that this bastard gentleman with a mustache snatched away the gentle and lovely perfect wife - Zencheng Aoi.

But there is no way to deal with this 0.2 thing.

The future Toosaka Rin and Sakura have not been born at this point in time. If Toosaka Tokiomi is killed in advance, the future plot will change completely. At that time, all the "information" that Shen Yuan has will be messed up, and some unexpected things may happen.

And the other side.

After the Einzbern family members arrived in Fuyuki City, Emiya Kiritsugu summoned Saber.

Tohsaka Tokiomi, who has a small mustache, also formally proposed to Zenjo Aoi.

There is no such thing as feelings between magicians. No matter how reluctant Zenjo Aoi is, she has to make concessions for the benefit of her family because of her chaste and strong character.

After all, the Tōsaka family, like the Matou family, is a family of magicians who moved their magic heritage from Europe to Fuyuki City, Japan long ago.

The seemingly glamorous and highly respected Tosaka family is naturally much better than the shameful Matou family. However, in terms of power and financial resources, both families are inferior to the Einzbern family. However, because the Tosaka family has produced several generations of outstanding magicians, their family's magician heritage has become even more outstanding.

And now, Tohsaka Tokiomi has become a powerful gem magician praised by the world's largest magician organization, the "Clock Tower". Under this aura of genius, Tohsaka Tokiomi is also regarded as the one with the most potential to win the championship in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

As for the Matou family?

It's been rotten to the core, with each generation getting worse than the last. The youngest generation, Matou Kariya, is a rebellious poor student who is unlearned and hates magician training to the point of skipping classes. Because of this kind of offspring, the old monster Matou Zouken, who is half human and half non-human and has survived from more than 400 years ago, was so angry that he had to come forward to plan this Holy Grail War.

......

In short, time flies by, and the deadline for the Holy Grail War is getting closer and closer.

Chapter 138 You will be crowned king, Magical Girl Illya!

Time flies by like a white horse.

There are still three years until the Holy Grail War begins.

now.

In a beautiful manor somewhere in Italy, the slightly mature Tōsaka Tokiomi was talking with two other men.

Their names are Kotomine Risho and Kotomine Kirei. They are nominally the supervisors of the Holy Grail War, but because they have a deep relationship with the Tōsaka family, they plan to help Tōsaka Tokiomi obtain the Holy Grail in this Holy Grail War.

Normally speaking, it was unlikely that Tōsaka Tokiomi, a magus, would gather with the Holy Church for a meeting.

But at this time, the three of them were discussing some matters about the Holy Grail War, and they were basically colluding with each other, which was equivalent to the candidate bribing the invigilator in advance, and the invigilator even took the initiative to open an extra back door for this excellent candidate.

"In this Holy Grail War, the advantage is mine!"

Tōsaka Tokiomi said that with the help of Kotomine Risei and his son, he was safe this time.

"However, the Holy Grail War, which has been going on for two hundred years, revolves around the 'Heavenly Grail', created by the three mage families of Einzbern, Tōsaka, and Makiri (Matou), which can grant all wishes in the world. You must be careful not to be careless until you become the final victor and obtain the Holy Grail, the 'Universal Wishing Machine'!"

Kotomine Ri was looking at Tōsaka Tokiomi meaningfully, reminding him not to be too proud and complacent.

Caution is the boat.

"Reaching the root is the only wish of our Tōsaka family! And this wish can only be fulfilled by the Holy Grail."

Tōsaka Tokiomi said calmly:

"Although the Einzbern and Matou families share our aspirations, they have lost their original path over the generations and have now completely forgotten their original aspirations. As for the four self-taught Masters recruited from outside, they can be completely ignored. As for those who pursue the Holy Grail for shallow desires, their true nature is easy to imagine."

"Then, I only need to participate in this Holy Grail War with the ultimate goal of assisting Master Tōsaka Tokiomi and achieving victory, correct?"

Kotomine Kirei finally came to this conclusion.

His old father, Kotomine Ri, was an old friend of Tōsaka Tokiomi. He was a son born in his old age, and his father cared for him very much and had high hopes for him.

　10 "Yes, that's right." Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Tōsaka Tokiomi's mouth.

This is alliance.

The original Holy Grail War was played by 7 people each, but now it is 2V5.

"However, we are still enemies on the surface, but secretly you need to assist me and work together to eliminate the other five Masters. Therefore, Kirei, you will be transferred from the Church to the Magic Association as my disciple."

In order to ensure the "fairness" of the Holy Grail War, Tōsaka Tokiomi specially prepared a formal signed document.

In this case, Kotomine Kirei is not a member of the church, but is participating in the war as a magus.

"Kirei." Father Risei looked at his son and nodded.

"I understand."

Upon hearing the arrangement made by Tōsaka Tokiomi and his father, Kotomine Kirei had a blank expression on his face, as if he had no resistance to any of this, and signed the agreement like a numb puppet.

Kotomine Kirei is such a person who is at the mercy of others.

He believed that his life was meaningless.

Not a villain, but a bad person. Not cruel, but an evil person.

"For the next three years, Kirei, you will study magic in my mansion in Fuyuki City, and strive to become a qualified magus who can control a Servant before the Holy Grail War begins. I will discuss the specific arrangements after I return."

"But, Master Tōsaka Tokiomi, if I openly become your disciple, won't people suspect we're secretly collaborating?"

Kotomine Kirei asked in a cold tone.

"Don't worry, few magicians are good people." Tōsaka Tokiomi sneered, then shook his head. "Killing each other due to conflicts of interest is commonplace in the world of magicians. To seize treasures like the Holy Grail, the so-called master-disciple relationship is as good as nothing."

"Oh, I see." Although Kotomine Kirei was not a magician, he had some understanding of the magician's deceitful nature.

"Well, you'll understand."

For some reason, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt a chill down his spine when he saw Kotomine Kirei's emotionless face.

Maybe it's an illusion.
