Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

But it seemed as if fate was against him. As a contestant last time, he was bound to face a lot of hostility. When he was giving his men orders, he accidentally provoked a guy of the same level like Kenneth.

Moreover, aside from those masters, there is another even more troublesome guy in Fuyuki City.

That person was extremely talented and had created a method to prolong life before him, and he was most likely Zouken Matou, the ancestor of the Matou family.

"It's too bad that guy also has a talisman whose effect is unknown."

When Danic thought of this, he felt a headache. Unlike himself, Matou Zouken, who had lived for five hundred years or even longer, might not care about temporary gains and losses. He would give up the Holy Grail this time and only ask to kill himself, waiting patiently for the next opportunity.

“But I have no way out.”

Danik gritted his teeth, his eyes full of determination born out of fear.

"Stand up, you defective pieces!"

He was no longer prepared to wait and began to summon heroic spirits. No matter what, he must win this time!

With the help of the workshop's power, Danic easily drew the magic circle and took out the holy relic he usually used, preparing to use it for the last time before these androids whose lives had been drained were discarded. In an instant, overwhelming magic power filled the workshop again, declaring the master's determination.

-

"Master, this is the latest information from my father."

"Oh," Toosaka Tokiomi looked at the fax that Kotomine Kirei handed over, "The second person to manifest is actually Lancer. I wonder which company did this, but it doesn't matter anyway."

Seeing the undisguised joy on Tōsaka Tokiomi's face, Kotomine Kirei seemed to have thought of something.

"Has that been delivered?"

"That's right, Kirei, you are still as smart as ever," Tōsaka Tokiomi walked to the table with elegant steps, turned sideways and showed Kotomine Kirei the full appearance of his holy relic.

——It was a fossil that looked very ancient and twisted like a snake.

Even though he was filled with excitement, Tōsaka Tokiomi still restrained himself, picked up the red wine beside him, and handed the other glass to Kotomine Kirei.

"Although it's a little early to celebrate, it's already certain, Kirei, that this Holy Grail War is our victory!"

Chapter 24 Arthur Pendragon

Chapter 24 Arthur Pendragon

"call……"

Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath. He shouldn't have been so nervous, but when he thought about the fact that he was going to summon a Servant that was powerful enough to tear the sky apart and break steel and jade, the instinctive fear rose to his mind along with his reason.

As a person who calls himself a magus, Emiya Kiritsugu naturally would not simply treat his servants as summoned and manipulated at will like other magi. They are all great heroes with unique personalities. If they are incompatible, it will only cause more serious consequences.

The Command Seal in his hand is the best proof. If it weren't for this thing, the difference in status between Servant and Master might not be so obvious.

Honestly speaking, he was more interested in the caster and assassin classes, but what Ahad said was also right, this was not the assassination of the past, but a changeable battlefield, a powerful heroic spirit could maximize his tolerance rate.

"Kiritsugu... the time has come."

"I see."

Under Irisviel's worried gaze, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his right hand.

"Declaration——!"

The chill and pain that surrounded the whole body swept over easily. This was a sign that the magic circuit was circulating at full capacity. However, compared to the miracle that was about to be completed, these consumptions were nothing.

Emiya Kiritsugu recited the summoning words in a deep voice. Even though the wind created by the atmosphere hit everything around him, he did not pause at all, as if he was just a part of this ritual.

"You are the Seventh Heaven who is entangled with the Three Great Word Spirits, and you come from the Wheel of Restraint, the Guardian of the Scales—"

As the words came to an end, Emiya Kiritsugu felt that the magic power in his body had accelerated to its limit.

In the swirling gale, Irisviel, who was guarding on one side, narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to keep as much vision as possible in the brilliant light shining from the summoning circle.

But her gaze was not focused on the summoning circle, but on the scabbard of the altar behind it. Since that day, she had never seen anything like it again, as if it was really just an illusion.

But thinking of Illya's recent abnormality, Irisviel still couldn't let go of her worry.

As she was filled with worry, the light of the magic circle gradually went out, and white mist slowly spread along with the figure.

A figure wearing tight silver-white armor and a hood appeared in front of the magic circle.

This made Emiya Kiritsugu let out a gasp that he wasn't sure whether it was relief or relief. He examined the figure in front of him with his sharp eyes.

And as if noticing Emiya Kiritsugu's gaze, the figure took off his hood, revealing his full appearance.

With short blond hair and emerald eyes, though with a softness to them, the figure's features were undeniably handsome, with an enviable, sunny good looks.

Then, he looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, the person with whom he had the deepest connection, and spoke.

"Servant Saber, I have come here in response to your summons. Let me ask you - are you my Master?"

-

In the morning in the Einzbern Forest, at a sunny dining table, Saber, who had taken off her weapons, was dining with Irisviel.

Although he ate very quickly, Saber's every move was natural and elegant, which made him look majestic.

As an artificial human, Irisviel did not have much demand for this. She just drank her tea quietly and placed the curious Illya on her lap.

"Is it okay for the Master to leave alone?"

After finishing their meal, Saber finally asked a question, "In this Holy Grail War, if you are too far away from the Servants, other enemies will take advantage of you, right?"

"Well, from a common sense point of view, maybe that's the case, but that man's talent in this area is far superior to mine, and I believe in him."

Although as a specialized product of the Lesser Holy Grail, Irisviel is also proficient in alchemical magic and will definitely not lag behind in battle, she is still far inferior to Emiya Kiritsugu.

"It seems that I still haven't gained his trust."

Saber showed a stiff expression with a slightly frown, and her sunny smile also faded a little, but even so, that chilling feeling still showed that she was a powerful knight.

Even though the contract between the Heroic Spirit and the Master has no distance restrictions, this attitude of acting alone is the best explanation.

Since being summoned a few nights ago, after confirming the Master-Master relationship, Emiya Kiritsugu left in a hurry, leaving the explanation of the specific situation to Irisviel, as if he was rejecting the Heroic Spirit he summoned.

"You must be dissatisfied, right? But please believe him. I can assure you that he just looks indifferent."

To say that you don't trust Saber is really unfair to Emiya Kiritsugu. His qualities as a Master are not outstanding. But even so, except for luck, Saber's other attributes are top-notch. In terms of durability, it is at the A+ level. This means that as long as the Master has enough magic power supply, this knight can still fight against many enemies even when facing other rare heroes.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Emiya Kiritsugu can't find any fault with it.

The reason why he maintained such an indifferent attitude was just to prevent a noble Heroic Spirit like the Knight King from causing discord between the master and the servant due to such a despicable act as assassinating the Master.

He and Irisviel would continue in this pattern until the number of Masters began to decrease.

"Or is it? Saber, you are not satisfied with me being the temporary Master?"

Seeing Saber's low mood, Irisviel immediately began to smooth things over in a teasing tone.

"Of course not. I'm very happy that you can be my Master, Irisviel." To Irisviel, who was born with nobility in her heart, she is like a princess of Saber's era. Moreover, for some reason, most of the women around him are not reliable, whether they are teachers or sisters.

To him, a well-educated and pure-hearted woman like Irisviel was like an angel. Therefore, even without a contract, Saber performed the master-servant oath to her with the etiquette of a knight.

"Hehe, to be praised like this by the legendary Knight King Arthur Pendragon, does it seem like I'm pretty awesome too?"

Irisviel smiled brightly, and her eyes softened a little. She reached out and gently stroked Illya's head.

The appearance of Saber relieved her of a worry. Everything about this heroic spirit was normal, including her gender, strength, and noble character.

It seems that the afterimage of the scabbard that day was indeed just her illusion. In this way, Kiritsugu, who deliberately concealed the existence of the scabbard from Saber and took it to Fuyuki City first, does not need to worry too much.

"Because you deserve this compliment, but Arthur Pendragon is the most popular name for me. If you are Irisviel, you can call me Artorius, which is my real name. However, please call me Saber in battle."

"Same here, Artorius. We must win the final victory this time!"

"Well," Saber smiled gently, then looked at Illya in Irisviel's arms with a puzzled look.

"Although I may be meddling in other people's business, is it okay for you to do this?"

"Eh?"

After hearing Saber's words, Irisviel belatedly looked at Illya in her arms. After being held in her arms, except for looking at Saber and the dining table curiously at the beginning, but later, just like usual, she stared at the direction of Fuyuki City without moving.

But this time it was different. When Irisviel saw Illya's current actions, she understood why Saber asked the question.

As Illya breathed, scorching flames gushed out of her mouth, expanding and contracting like a toy, but she still stared at the distant sky as if she didn't notice anything, as if she felt something.

"Illya? What are you looking at?"

Irisviel gently shook her daughter to bring her back to her senses.

"Mom?" Illya came back to her senses, showing a sacred and joyful expression, and said words that made Irisviel feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

"Don't you feel it? Dad, it's born."

Chapter 25 Roland is Targeted

"I didn't expect that the Hero King would actually be summoned. It seems that in this Holy Grail War, I will finally have the chance to see a miracle happen."

On the road late at night, Kotomine Kirei was walking with his father, which was rare.

The two had just come out of the Toosaka residence and witnessed the entire process of Toosaka Tokiomi's summoning.

"Yes, for such a powerful king, Master's three years of preparation are worth it."

As always, Kotomine Kirei answered his father's words with a respectful attitude that would not make people feel cold.

"Well, now six heroic spirits have descended."

As if to confirm, Kotomine Rizheng took out the church's spirit disk from his arms. This was the privilege of the supervisor, used to check the survival of the heroic spirit. However, for the church that had completely sided with the Tosaka family, this had become the best cheating tool.

"The only rank left is the caster rank. I guess the Holy Grail hasn't found its master yet. But this guy who rushed in is just a small figure to make up the numbers. He is not worth paying attention to. If you find any trace of him, just get rid of him."

Although his words were biased, considering that Kotomine Risei was the supervisor when the last war started, his evaluation was still quite convincing.

"I understand, Father."

"As for the surveillance of the Master, remember to have Assassin wait at the airport. The three local families have many experiences and bases in the war, so they won't reveal too much information. However, the Master from outside will inevitably need to travel by means of transportation."

Yanfeng Lizheng rubbed his forehead while giving his son valuable advice. These were useful little experiences that could only be summarized by those who had participated in the war.

"After all, Fuyuki City already has two local families, the Tousaka and the Matou families. Foreign Masters are generally not so careless as to come to someone else's territory without a Heroic Spirit. Therefore, if you are lucky, it will be easy to get first-hand information about the Heroic Spirit."

“I’m going to do it now.”

Without any delay, Kotomine Kirei had already developed a strong ability to act after many years of experience as an agent.

Kotomine Kirei was looking at his son's back with satisfaction. Although he once doubted whether the experience of having a son in old age had made him over-indulge his son, Kotomine Kirei's performance made it hard for anyone to feel uneasy.

"There is one more thing," the only thing to worry about is the child's tragic fate.

Kotomine Risho advised: "You should stop your recent morning jogs. After the war officially begins, you as a Master must not be too careless. I know you seem to have made new friends recently, but if you involve your friends because of your own selfishness, the consequences will only be worse."

"Yes, father."

Kotomine Kirei did not look back, but walked silently into the depths of the shadows.

-

"So, this is why you came to the store to see me so late at night?"

Roland looked at Kotomine Kirei in front of him with some confusion. When he was working the night shift, Kotomine Kirei suddenly ran in and solemnly told him that he would be traveling for a while.

Roland, who knew that the other party was going to fight in the Holy Grail War, accepted this matter very smoothly. The only puzzling thing was, when did the two of them become such good friends?

Apart from their names, they didn't even exchange addresses and phone numbers, and apart from morning jogging and meeting at the store every day, they had no contact at all. However, Kotomine Kirei's attitude clearly showed that he treated him as a close friend.

"Yes, please take care, Roland. If you have a night shift recently, please turn it down."

Kotomine Kirei hesitated for a moment, but still extended the invitation.

“If you encounter something you don’t understand, you can also come to the church to seek refuge.”

Having said that, he lowered his eyes secretly and looked at the gloves on Roland's hands.

"Really? Thank you very much."

Roland said with a smile, as if he had not noticed Kotomine Kirei's gaze.

Seeing this response, Kotomine Kirei said nothing more and quietly walked out of the store.

After leaving Roland's sight, a deep voice made a suggestion from behind Kotomine Kirei.

"Master, that guy gives me a very dangerous feeling. If he is likely to join the battle, it would be a good idea to eliminate him in advance."

"No need," but Kotomine Kirei rejected the request with a cold voice.
