Picking up a golden fried dough stick, Toosaka Rin, who had been chattering non-stop since she got up in the morning, put the fried dough stick into Toosaka Tokiomi's bowl with a smile on her face.

He smiled and patted Rin's head. Tōsaka Tokiomi, who had lost to Sakura last night and had given up his decision to go to Fuyuki City to continue participating in the Holy Grail War, whether he had really let go of his obsession, perhaps only he himself knew.

But...he must have let go of this Holy Grail War.

Looking at the elegant posture of the Tosaka family opposite them, with their loving father and filial son, and glancing sideways at Shinji who was eating voraciously and devouring food at an astonishing speed and appetite, Kato Tsuruno, who had a look of envy on his face, couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"Tsk, how could I have given birth to a boy...if it was a girl..."

Just when Jiandou Tsuruno was stimulated by the Toosaka family and started to have wild thoughts in his mind.

An equally golden fried dough stick appeared in Jiandou Heye's bowl.

"Uncle Tsuruno, you eat too."

If Sakura is really his adopted daughter, then Tsuruno will definitely be very moved at this moment...

But.....Sakura is the head of the Matou family in Tsuruno's eyes, a real monster who can kill that old monster Matou Zouken...

At this moment, Tsuruno was not moved by Sakura's "filial piety", but he dared not move...

After all, on weekdays, although Xiaoying was polite and often called him uncle sweetly...but after calling him uncle, there was definitely something bad going on, either he wanted to do this or that...

Even barking would make me tired like a dog, and eating a fried dough stick... would make me so tired that I would vomit blood.

Just as Matou Tsuruno was feeling anxious and worried, his mind was frantically filled with all sorts of random thoughts as he waited for Sakura's new orders to come.

Xiaoying had already turned around and picked up her own bowl, smiling as she drank the century egg and lean meat porridge...

57. Depressed Kayneth, a sign of crisis in El-Melloi…

Kenneth had changed, completely changed.

Born into a famous family, with outstanding talents, and a smooth journey, it can be said that Kenneth had hardly suffered any setbacks before participating in the Holy Grail War.

However, he fell to Emiya Kiritsugu twice.

Kenneth, who had always taken the title of genius for granted and even lost himself in this title, was completely awakened.

I am touted as the most talented person in the world, but I am not as strong as I think...

The praise from all the stars, the honor of a distinguished family background...

In the cruel battle of life and death, these are meaningless...

Enduring the physical and mental pain, Kenneth slowly took off the bandages on his body and looked at his hands with empty eyes, which no longer had the Command Seals. At this moment, he seemed unable to walk on the path of magic as firmly as before.

He reached out and picked up the glass of water on the bedside table.

Swallowing the cold water in the cup with difficulty...

Emotions of reluctance, fear, confusion, etc. suddenly emerged in Kenneth's mind after he saw his reflection in the cup.

Kenneth did feel a frustration he had never experienced before during the process of being "educated" by Emiya Kiritsugu, and this frustration further plunged him into depression and confusion.

I even started to feel lost and doubt myself...

But there is one thing that will never be erased.

That is - family.

Or the magician's legacy.

Compared to their own lives, the pursuit of "truth" through inheritance from generation to generation is an instinct that has been engraved into the DNA of the magician community.

Kenneth, who had just seen his reflection in the water cup, had his instinct awakened directly when he saw his scarred face.

The Clock Tower... that place - eats people.

Given Kenneth's current injuries, it will take at least half a year for him to recover.

After losing Kayneth for more than half a year, what will happen to the El-Melloi family, which is already in a period of transition...

Although it is highly unlikely that the situation in the original book, where the creature was almost skinned and eaten whole, would happen.

However... it is inevitable that a group of jackals will take advantage of this opportunity to surround him and tear him apart to eat his flesh and drink his blood. It is even possible that El-Melloi's former political enemies will seize this opportunity to make El-Melloi return to the fate described in the original novel.

And this time, El-Melloi can't find Weber, an alternative genius, to save his life.

After all, without the love affair with the King of Conquerors, Waver is still just an ordinary student in the Clock Tower...

"No... My mentor will definitely not be able to bear the pressure for me this time... I can't count on Bartmero and the others at all... Senior Marisbury may be able to provide some help... But it's just a drop in the bucket..."

Kenneth, who had already realized the situation he was about to face, undoubtedly turned pale.

"Damn...what should I do...?"

The former genius is no longer a genius.

Kenneth, who had become very unconfident at this time, how could he come up with any good ideas in this state?

As time went by, Kenneth, who already had serious mental problems, became more and more manic.

A low roar began to come out of Kenneth's throat...

Just when Kenneth was about to collapse.

Marisbury, who had known about this situation for a long time, appeared in front of Kenneth.

"Kenneth."

"Senior Marisbury... I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself..."

Facing Marisbury who suddenly entered his room, Kenneth, who was roaring like a wild beast the previous second, seemed to have lost all his spirit the next second.

I collapsed on the pillow, tears unconsciously falling from my eyes...

"I'm afraid I'm going to become El-Melloi's sinner."

He pulled out a chair from the room and sat down gracefully.

Looking at Kenneth who was a complete useless person on the bed, Maris Billy spoke.

"The situation is not that bad, Kenneth. Ulysses guarantees your safety for the next six months. (Kenneth's teacher, future father-in-law, and also one of the monarchs of the Clock Tower)

Kenneth, the situation is not as bad as you think. There is a true genius hidden in this Holy Grail War..."

"A true genius.....genius..."

Kenneth looked at Marisbury with a confused look in his eyes. His confused brain at the moment was unable to understand the meaning of Marisbury's words.

However, it is true that my mentor was able to protect me for more than half a year...

But that presupposes that his mentor would always be there to protect him, which is almost impossible.

More importantly, even if he had not been assassinated during this half year, being away from the political center of the Clock Tower for half a year was enough for El-Melloi to suffer.

The faction's influence has declined, and it is surrounded by jackals outside... What's worse is that, with the loss of Kenneth, El-Melloi has also lost a powerful figure to suppress the situation... The civil unrest is almost visible to the naked eye.

"Senior Marisbilly... His Majesty Solomon can..."

"I'm sorry, Kayneth, but the Servants that appeared in the Holy Grail War are not real Heroic Spirits...Solomon has seen your injuries, but he can't do anything."

He said it sincerely, but in reality...How could Marisbili, who wanted to use El-Melloi's power to help him implement the Chaldea plan, let Kenneth recover easily?

Unless El-Melloi encounters a real disaster, how can I make Kenneth owe me a favor?

Of course, Marisbili couldn't just sit there and watch El-Melloi fall.

However, as Kenneth himself analyzed before, the help that Marisbury can provide is very limited.

Therefore, to truly break through...the key lies in what Marisbury calls "real genius".

There was no further communication with Kenneth, nor was there any attempt to comfort Kenneth.

After confirming that Kenneth would not continue to be so helpless and furious that his injuries became unrepairable.

Marisbury stood up and walked to Kenneth's bedside, placed a meteorite recording images in Kenneth's hand, then turned and walked out of the room.

After hearing about his injuries, Solomon was unable to do anything.

I don't know how long I sat on the bed in a daze.

Finally, Kenneth endured the severe pain and used magic to activate the recording device on his hand...

Just as Kenneth was alone in the workshop room, looking at the images left by Marisbury.

The night in Fuyuki City was completely enveloped by an air of solemnity that made the hairs on the neck stand on end.

The Fuyuki City Bridge, located on the Mion River, leads to the east and west banks of Fuyuki City.

In this Holy Grail War, all the Servants except King Hassan appeared on this brightly lit bridge.

58. The decisive battle begins, and the dream returns to Jianlan...

Vehicles drove by.

During this evening rush hour.

There was a constant stream of vehicles on the Fuyuki City Bridge.

Quietly looking at Mordred, who was sitting on the railing of the bridge across the lane like a girl next door with a bright smile on her face.

Altria was leaning against the railing, enjoying the last of the peaceful sea breeze.

Across the busy lane, the father and son knew very well that tonight they would have to fight it out for life and death.

Just below, the 'Father and Son' on the bridge were enjoying the night sea breeze like ordinary tourists.

On the steel beams of the bridge.

Gilgamesh was dressed casually, sipping wine from his glass, and sitting shoulder to shoulder with Solomon, who was also dressed as an ordinary person.

"Where's Berserker? Didn't you take him with you?"

"Although it is a defective product, but the fighting force from that continent, will you give up?"

Turning his head and glaring at Solomon with an expression as if he was talking nonsense, Gilgamesh then picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then pointed to the bridgehead.

"Oh~ Have you been assigned to protect the Master?... Indeed, the toys you trained are too vulnerable in front of Marisbury."

"Aren't you worried? Aren't you worried that your Master will be torn to pieces by Berserker?"

Solomon picked up the wine brought by Gilgamesh between the two of them and filled his own glass. He stared at the wine in the glass, then turned around and said.

"That person is not my concern. Gilgamesh, you should worry about your toys."

"Hmph~ Just a clown killing time..."

"I envy your carefree attitude."

"Haha, as long as you return the power of the bastards, won't you be able to be free as well?"

As if to show off, Gilgamesh directly opened his clairvoyance and the star of omniscience, and then closed them right in front of Solomon.

"It's not so easy to return the Lord's gift... She won't allow me to return her gift so easily."

"So these guys are just scum..."

In this respect, Gilgamesh can indeed be proud of himself.

After all, both his clairvoyance and his omniscience and omnipotence truly belong to him.

And Solomon's eyes that could gaze upon the world... were a gift from the Lord.

Even if Gilgamesh's clairvoyance and omniscience were added together, they could not reach the level of Solomon.

But Gilgamesh can naturally control his own power at will.

And Solomon's gifted eyes...saw only what the Lord wanted him to see.

Even if there are some things and some images that Solomon does not want to see, those images and things will still automatically appear in his eyes.

There was silence between the two again, only the wine in the glass kept decreasing.

As time gradually enters deep night.

The endless stream of vehicles on the Fuyuki City Bridge began to gradually become sparse.

He looked up at the sky.
