She vaguely felt something was wrong from the beginning. It was obvious that only Haruno was invited to the dinner, so why did she and Kira-kun have to be brought along?

Now it seems that this is probably another prank, or he is still trying to test her relationship with Kira-kun. Although the cost is a bit high, after all, the 5 million promised to Kira-kun is not a small amount.

“So, it’s really not made up!”

Yukinoshita Haruno was a little discouraged. What should she say to make Yukino believe her?

But this can't be blamed on Yukino. Who made her unable to contact anyone and even couldn't get through on the phone?

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Kira Yoshikage with hope:

"Hey, Kira-kun, you will believe me, right?"

"I believe."

"Eh?"

Yukinoshita Haruno blinked. Kira Yoshikage's answer was really beyond her expectations. She thought Kira Yoshikage would stand on Yukino's side.

"Right, right?"

Yukinoshita Haruno was greatly encouraged and became excited. "I have been to the Einzbern's castle before. Although it is not shown on the map for some reason, I still remember the route. When you see the castle, you will know that what I said is true!"

Yukinoshita Yukino did not question again, but her eyes were still full of suspicion.

She couldn't completely trust Yang No because she knew very well what kind of personality her sister had.

But she also didn't think that Kira Yoshikage was simply dealing with Haruno, which meant that the Einzbern family might really exist.

But if the Einzbern family really exists, why can't we contact them?

Was there an accident?

Yukinoshita Yukino was still thinking, but Yukinoshita Haruno exclaimed inexplicably:

"I clearly remember there was a road here, but why, why is it gone?"

Kira Yoshikage looked in the direction the car was moving and saw a dense primeval forest ahead.

Shortly after getting off the highway, Yang Nai drove the car onto this country road that was not even paved with asphalt.

But at the end of the road there was only a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, and there was no trace of the snowy path that she remembered.

Yukinoshita Haruno almost instinctively stepped on the brakes, but Kira Yoshikage suddenly spoke:

"Keep driving."

Yukinoshita Haruno looked incredulous, but there was no road ahead!

"Sister, listen to Kira-kun."

Yukinoshita Yukino whispered, "There is a barrier nearby. That forest is just an illusion. Speed ​​up and rush over."

"Enchantment?"

There was a hint of confusion in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes, but after hesitating for a long time, the girl still chose to step on the accelerator.

Die or die!

hum!

With the roar and trembling of the engine, the car suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the forest ahead.

Just before hitting a towering tree, Yukinoshita Haruno instinctively closed her eyes out of fear.

But after waiting for a long time, the imagined collision never came, and the car still sped forward.

"Eh? How could it be…"

Yukinoshita Haruno opened her eyes in surprise and let out a cry of surprise.

A crystal snowflake fell from the sky and landed on the windshield of the car.

It was clearly summer, and just a few seconds ago she had seen a lush green forest.

But what is presented before our eyes now is a scene of heavy snow!

Although it is beautiful, it is totally illogical!

This is not scientific at all!

"It seems that my sister has an incredible friend."

Yukinoshita Yukino's sigh was incomprehensible to Yukinoshita Haruno, and she couldn't help asking:

"Yukino, what on earth is going on?"

"I will explain it to you, but for now, let's go to the castle."

The girl stretched out her white finger and pointed at the magnificent castle standing on the land of the East at the end of the road.

Yukinoshita Haruno looked in the direction she pointed, and the castle was exactly the same as she remembered.

She had been here before, but it was winter then and she didn't even notice anything unusual.

On the way to the castle.

Yukinoshita Haruno also saw another car, a car that broke down in the snow.

A black-haired man in a black windbreaker was lying on the front hood of the car doing repairs. When he noticed a car passing by and saw the three people in the car through the window, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It seemed like an accident that besides myself, other people were also invited.

Although they saw someone in distress in the snow, the three people in the car chose to ignore it tacitly, and no one offered to get out to help.

"Yukino."

Kira Yoshikage shouted.

The intimate name made Yukinoshita Haruno look sideways slightly, and her expression became a little subtle. There is indeed something wrong with you!

At this time, the car had arrived at the main gate of the castle.

The maid, who was wrapped tightly all over, even her hair was tied up, was already waiting at the door.

Seeing the three people getting off the car, she looked a little surprised, but still bowed her head respectfully:

"Dear guest, Chief Ahad has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

"Ahad?"

Yukinoshita Haruno was a little surprised. The last time she came, the patriarch of the Einzbern family was not called this name!

Is her memory wrong?

Or has the head of the Einzbern family been replaced?

What about Irisviel? Did something happen to her?

Yukinoshita Haruno was a little uneasy, and was led by the maid to a living room with a burning fireplace.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, the old man with silver hair and silver beard looked at the three people led by the maid into the hall, with a somewhat surprised expression. It seemed that he had not expected that Emiya Kiritsugu would bring other people here, and they were women, and more than one person.

Although the rumored Emiya Kiritsugu should be a notorious magus killer with a cold personality, ruthless to his enemies, and never soft-hearted even to the elderly and children, with no weaknesses and no emotions.

But when they actually met, he immediately felt that the man in front of him seemed very different from the rumors.

There is no doubt that the two girls are rare beauties in the world. They don't look very old, so they should still be girls. This seems to be able to guess his XP to some extent.

If he is really lustful, that would be great.

The Einzbern family lacks everything except good-looking androids.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this is just his disguise.

Just like no one has ever seen Emiya Kiritsugu's true face, even the face we see now might just be a disguise.

Snapped!

The maid respectfully left the living room and closed the door.

But for some reason, the moment the door closed.

The maid's eyes were pale and a little confused.

"Emiya Kiritsugu."

After the maid left the living room, the old man cast his eagle-like eyes on Kira Yoshikage and said, "Nice to meet you. My name is Eubusta Kuhaid von Einzbern, the eighth-generation patriarch of the Einzbern family. You can call me Ahad."

"Nice to meet you, Chief Ahad."

Kira Yoshikage nodded slightly and took the initiative to extend his hand to the old man.

The old man was slightly startled, but still stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

"Let's get straight to business, Mr. Emiya. Do you know anything about the Holy Grail War?"

"Two hundred years ago, our Einzbern family joined forces with the Majiri family and the Tōsaka family, exchanged each other's secret techniques, and succeeded in bringing to life the Holy Grail, which can be called the 'Universal Cauldron'.

“However, the Holy Grail can only grant one person’s wish.

"When this fact was revealed, the cooperative relationship immediately turned into a bloody struggle. This was the beginning of the 'Holy Grail War'.

"After that, every 60 years, the Holy Grail will reappear in Fuyuki City, the Far East where it was once summoned. The Holy Grail will then select seven magicians who are qualified to possess it, and divide a portion of its vast magic power among the seven people, allowing them to summon heroic spirits called 'Servants', and decide who is truly qualified to hold the Holy Grail through a deathmatch.

"In the past three Holy Grail Wars, Einzbern's magic was not suitable for combat and failed to achieve results in the Holy Grail Wars. Fortunately, others were also unable to truly capture the Holy Grail.

“Nine years later, the Holy Grail will descend upon Fuyuki City for the fourth time, and a new round of the Holy Grail War will begin!

"That's why I hired you. I hope your skills can help the Einzbern family win the Holy Grail!"

The old man's tone was full of fanaticism. To him, nothing was more important than the long-cherished wish of the Einzbern family!

Ahadion has suffered defeat more than once since the days of Justissa.

The Fourth Holy Grail War is likely to be the last one, and his life cannot support him to live for another 60 years. Ahadon must consider whether this is his only chance in this life, so he will never allow Einzbern to fail again!

Therefore, it didn't matter even if he had to hire the notorious magician killer in front of him. As long as he could achieve his long-cherished wish, as long as he could achieve the third law, he could do it at any cost, and the entire Einzbern family could do it at any cost!

Kirara Yoshikage was not infected by the old man's enthusiasm, and his emotions remained calm and steady:

"I'll do my best."

Ahadon’s sharp realization sweeps over Kira Yoshikage, and it’s good as far as it goes, but it’s not good enough!

What he wants is not to do his best or to give his all, but to win!

Of course he knew that Emiya Kiritsugu could not be trusted.

There was only one person who could obtain the Holy Grail, and he didn't believe that Emiya Kiritsugu would not be greedy.

If he really gets the Holy Grail, he will definitely prioritize satisfying his own desires rather than the long-cherished wish of the Einzbern family.

and so.

He would put shackles on the beast.

"Irisviel."

Ahadon called softly, and the side door of the reception room was pushed open.

She was a beautiful girl with silver hair and dazzling eyes. Her skin was as white and flawless as cream and crystal clear. Although she lacked blood color, it did not detract from her noble gem-like beauty at all.

"Grandpa."

The girl named Irisviel was very respectful.

"Ellie?"

Yukinoshita Haruno was a little surprised to see her friend, but became a little suspicious when she heard her voice.

It was the same name and the same face, but the feeling she gave him was completely different.

What is going on here?

Ahadon looked at Kira Yoshikage and said in a deep voice:

“Magicians related to the three founding families, the Majiri family, now renamed the Matou family, the Einzbern family, and the Tousaka family, will have priority in obtaining the Command Seals before the Holy Grail War begins.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you are not a member of the Einzbern family, so I will betroth Irisviel to you, and you can also use any maid in this castle. As long as you can win the Holy Grail for the Einzbern family, we can meet any of your requests!"

Kirara Yoshikage asked:

"Even if it means ruling over the Einzbern family?"

Ahadon looked at him deeply and said calmly:

"Even if it means ruling over the Einzbern family, you can do whatever you want in this castle."
