I really didn't want to burn it.

Just kidding. Cooperating with Father Mapo, not to mention the extremely high possibility of being sold out, the very fact that he shook hands and made peace with that fake priest is enough to make Red A vomit up every dinner he ever ate while he was alive.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang in the hotel room.

Inside the room, the Chaldea members exchanged glances.

They're all here; why would anyone ring the doorbell looking for them?

Did you ring the wrong doorbell?

"I'll go take a look."

Mashu got up and opened the door to the room.

Two young women with long black hair stood at the door.

Mashu recognized them; they were the two Masters from the Red Team in the city of Kubuchi.

"you……"

Mashu secretly placed her hand on her waist, adopting a wary expression.

"Excuse me, are you from Chaldea?"

One of the girls bowed slightly and asked Mashu with a smile.

Upon hearing the girl's question at the door, both Archer (Red A) and Artoria Alt in the room prepared for battle.

Mashu instantly donned her armor and asked directly, "What do you want?"

The other girl nodded: "This shield... looks like this is the place."

"My name is Asagami Fujino, and this is Wujou Kirie. We need to talk to you."

Asagami Fujino introduced herself.

"Is it."

Mashu responded with little interest.

Fujino ignored Mash's rude reply and asked, "Gentlemen of Chaldea, would you be interested in coming with us to Fuyuki City?"

Chapter 162 Miss Irisviel, the Racing God of Fuyuki City

On the streets of Fuyuki City at night, a car sped by with lightning speed, its bells jingling loudly.

After crashing through a roadside utility pole, the car stopped in front of the Emiya residence.

As soon as the car came to a complete stop, Li Ang and Kiritsugu took the lead and got out of the car.

"Mmm...this is so exciting."

Li Ang covered his mouth and gagged twice.

"It was alright, but I feel it would have been better if the process had been a bit more thrilling."

Chloris said with a smile.

The Greek gods' reckless behavior was far more outrageous than car racing, and this situation was nothing to Flora.

Kiritsugu agreed, saying, "Of all the things I taught her, racing is the one I regret the most..."

"Oh dear, oh dear. Leon and Kiritsugu, you two are too weak."

Irisviel got out of the driver's seat with a smile.

"Weak my foot... that's practically tank driving."

Li Ang glared at Irisviel.

He knew his wife was a reckless driver, but he really didn't expect her to be this reckless.

To be fair, Irisviel's driving skills aren't bad, but she's far too reckless. She's the type who floores the gas pedal and doesn't care about life or death.

As for traffic lights, in Irisviel's eyes, they were probably just streetlights for illumination.

Fortunately, their vehicle was enchanted before they set off; otherwise, the police cars following behind them could have formed a reinforced regiment.

Of course, it wasn't without its advantages that Irisviel drove so aggressively; at least it allowed Li Ang and the others to reach Fuyuki City in the fastest possible way.

After the battle at Xiaochuan Apartment, Li Ang's Red Team suffered significant losses.

Like Scáthach, although she was recalled by Orange with a Command Spell at the last moment in the battle with Gilgamesh, thus avoiding the fate of leaving the stage like her disciple, she was still seriously injured.

Scáthach's Master, Touko, was also in a bad state. Changing bodies twice in one night had put a considerable burden on her soul, leaving her feeling sickly.

Others like Shizuka, Ryougi Shiki, and Fujino were all injured to varying degrees.

However, the problems in Fuyuki City cannot be ignored. In order to prevent the evil of this world from descending, Li Ang and his group must come to Fuyuki City to fight Kirei Kotomine and his group.

There's nothing we can do. The singularity's aura is in the sky. Who can guarantee that the evil of this world won't cause the destruction of humanity?

Therefore, Li Ang had no choice but to split the team, leaving the wounded in Guanbuzi City to recuperate, and sending Fujino to seek cooperation with Chaldea.

Li Ang believed that if the burning of humanity was the premise, Ritsuka and the others would choose to cooperate with him.

Irisviel, Kiritsugu Emiya, Leon, and Chloris were the first to arrive in Fuyuki City to confirm the situation.

Kiritsugu's physical condition should actually be included in the injured group, but since he is the one in the team who knows the most about the Greater Grail in Fuyuki City, why not?

"Anyway, we'll rest a bit and then head to Mount Yuanzang..."

Kiritsugu stopped speaking halfway through his sentence.

Behind him, a sleepy-eyed Shirou was rubbing his eyes and looking at him.

"Dad?"

Shirou tilted his head and asked Kiritsugu for confirmation.

"Dad?"

Irisviel's expression changed instantly.

She grabbed Shirou's shoulders and shook him violently.

"Hey, little one, who's your mother? Can you tell me?"

Shirou was startled by Irisviel's actions, and his face turned pale.

"Dad! A creepy auntie is going to eat me! Help!"

Snapped.

Emiya Kiritsugu covered his face as if resigned to his fate.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Inside the large hollow of Yuanzang Mountain.

The servants sat around a crystal ball, which displayed the scene of Leon and his companions arriving in Fuyuki City.

"They arrived very quickly."

Cast, who was dressed in a long robe and whose face was not visible, spoke, his eyes looking at the other two.

"Hmph, don't even think about sneaking up on me."

Gilgamesh looked on with disdain.

"This time, I want to have a head-on confrontation with him."

“Is that so…” Cast said with a hint of mockery, “You’re very confident in yourself.”

Gilgamesh proudly raised his head: "Of course, I am undoubtedly the strongest."

"Aren't you afraid that a single mistake could cause your Master's ideals to fall through?"

Under the hood, Cast slightly turned his head to look at Kirei Kotomine.

"Hmph, Qili's affairs are Qili's business. I am merely a business partner with him, not his nanny."

Gilgamesh sat in his golden armchair, legs crossed, and said with an air of nonchalance, "I will only help him fulfill his wish, but the method will certainly be in accordance with my own."

"Is that so... Let's just say that."

Cast turned to look at another Archer dressed similarly to him—who also had his face hidden in his hood.

"Mr. Arch, are you interested?"

The other party answered very decisively: "No. There are too many of them, we can't beat them. Even if we are discovered, we can't escape."

"Then let's wait for them to come knocking on our door."

Seeing that neither of the two Arches wanted to work, Cast had no choice but to abandon his plan to raid Emiya's residence and began setting up the Great Hollow, attempting to turn the place into his own magic workshop.

After orchestrating the death of his Master at the hands of the Red Master, Cast, who had no particular desire for the Holy Grail, originally intended to disappear.

However, Kirei Kotomine found her and invited her to cooperate in bringing the Holy Grail to Fuyuki City.

Cast initially refused.

You can't just ask me for help and I'll do it, can you? Where would my pride be then?

However, when Kirei Kotomine said he could make Cast live in the world forever and cited Gilgamesh as an example, Cast hesitated.

She had no desire for the Holy Grail because she felt that the Holy Grail War only lasted a few days, which was not enough to give her a reason to fight for it.

But if I could stay in the mortal world for a long time...

Even though I no longer hold out much hope, what if?

If Cast were to find true love, he would be willing to risk everything for that goal.

Therefore, Cast chose to collaborate with Kirei Kotomine.

After analyzing the Holy Grail War situation in Guanbuzi City, she removed the Holy Grail from the spiritual veins of Guanbuzi City when the six Servants left the battlefield, and instructed Arch to capture Euryale to serve as a substitute for the Lesser Grail in Fuyuki City.

The ceremony is now complete, except for the transfer of the Servant's soul from the Holy Grail in Kanbushi City to the Greater Grail in Fuyuki City via Euryale.

As for the possibility that Kirei Kotomine's plan might kill many people, Cast never cared. She was the kind of woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

"But...that man."

Cast glanced at Kirei Kotomine, who was praying to Kong in the distance, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I don't think this expressionless man is the kind of crazy person... Should I say you can't judge a book by its cover?"

Kirei Kotomine paid no attention to Cast's internal monologue; he simply faced the Holy Grail, which was undergoing fusion, and quietly prayed.

However, such a terrible prayer probably cannot reach the gods.

But who cares?

He, Kirei Kotomine, simply wanted to witness the arrival of evil.

Chapter 163 Sab: Kiritsugu, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm back!

Emiya Residence.

At this moment, everyone except Shirou was sitting in the living room.

The room was filled with a silent atmosphere, and everyone's face was very serious.

Chloris and Irisviel showed obvious worry on their faces, while Kiritsugu was full of anger and self-blame. Leon secretly glanced at Kiritsugu, sighed slightly, and shook his head helplessly.

It turned out that after a brief rest, everyone was preparing to launch an attack on Ryudong Temple.

In Li Ang's mind, even if he couldn't conquer Ryudouji Temple, he could at least find out what was going on with Kirei Kotomine.

With his and Chloris's abilities, plus Irisviel as a healer, they could at least hold off the battle until reinforcements arrived.

As a result, when the group cautiously arrived at Ryudou Temple, they found that there wasn't a single servant inside, let alone any.

Immediately afterward, Kiritsugu Emiya, sensing that something had happened at the Emiya residence, hurriedly returned home.

When Kiritsugu rushed back, he found the front door, living room, and tables in complete disarray, and Shirou, who was supposed to be watching the house, was nowhere to be found.

What follows is the scene of the four people sitting around the table.
