Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

So before she came, I had to do many things myself.

So he stood up and said to the two of them: "Then let's talk about this first, and I will talk about the rest after I come back in the evening. I have some things to deal with next, so I'll excuse myself for now, both of you."

"By the way, Shiki, do you want to come with me?"

Hearing Xia Yuan calling her name, Ryougi Shiki immediately stood up and replied immediately: "Take me with you."

"Eh? Where are you going? Shouldn't we discuss the battle plan and then go out to look for the Dead Apostles?"

"Let's talk about this later. I have other things to deal with. I'll be back soon."

"Where are you going?" Kuonji Yuju asked, "Please tell me the exact location, so that if something goes wrong, we can provide timely support.

Support me? And ask me about my whereabouts...

Is he worried that he might mess around in Misaki City with other purposes? Although they signed a contract and established an alliance, they still haven't gained much trust.

It's more like worry than concern. She is really a smart girl.

However, Xia Yuan did not point it out. Instead, he said very frankly where he was going next.

"This is the church."

"?"

……

……

Around early yesterday morning, Emiya Kiritsugu encountered the Dead Apostles who were committing crimes on his way back to the hotel, so he used the Black Keys provided by Kotomine Kirei to kill them.

As a result, when he was taking action, he was encountered by people from the church, and was invited back to the church for tea by the agent. When he was being taken away, he sent a distress signal to himself.

So now he has to visit the local church, rescue Kiritsugu Emiya, and talk about the issue of Dead Apostles.

It was such an eventful time.

Chapter 117: Catching a Senior

In a spacious room inside the church of Misaki City, Kiritsugu Emiya was imprisoned in shackles.

He leaned against the wall, looking at the chandelier above his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Early yesterday morning, after completing the mission for Xia Yuan, he happened to encounter a few dark shadows roaming around in the cover of night on his way back.

Out of his regained sense of responsibility as a righteous partner, he chose to follow quietly.

So on a remote slope, we encountered a scene where several low-level Death Guards attacked a drunk man.

They pounced on the middle-aged man, bared their fangs, and prepared to feast on him.

Out of his eagerness to save people, he chose to take action directly and saved the unfortunate middle-aged man.

However, since this was an urban area, using firearms might cause unnecessary trouble, so he took out the black keys soaked in holy water provided by Kotomine Kirei, and used the inherent time system to nail all the monsters to the wall, successfully rescuing the people.

Originally, this was just an ordinary act of bravery. After dealing with the dead apostles, he should have left the scene quickly.

But as luck would have it, he was not the only one attracted by these low-level Dead Apostles, there were also professionals in this field.

Therefore, before he could evacuate, the church's agent blocked him on the road, and his strength was so terrifying that he couldn't escape even if he used his inherent time system.

After a brief exchange of blows, he also recognized that the other party was not an ordinary clergyman. He investigated her intelligence and found that she was a member of the burial agency of the Holy Church! !

After comparing the gap between the two sides, he thought about the inadequacy of his own equipment. His goal this time was to deal with the Dead Apostles, and he did not want to conflict with the agents of the church here.

So Kiritsugu Emiya decisively chose to surrender and followed her to the church. However, before being taken away, he found an opportunity to send a distress signal to his boss using his mobile phone.

Knowing his employer's ability well, he believed that Xia Yuan could easily take him away from here.

It was just a church branch, and even members of the burial agency could not stop him.

After all, he is a monster who can fight against Servants and magicians.

……

……

Outside the room, the reception hall of the cathedral.

Xia Yuan and Ryougi Shiki are having a friendly meeting with the agents here.

However, the agent of this area is not the traditional middle-aged priest, but a girl with blue hair, a girl from the Burial Agency.

The Burial Bureau is the strongest department of the Holy Church, composed of the members with the strongest combat power. The selection criteria of this department is not the degree of faith or loyalty to God, but only the ability and determination to kill heretics, so most of the guys here are a little mentally ill.

Xier also agrees with this point. She does not think that she is a normal person.

But there are always people better than you. In a ghost place like the burial facility, my condition is already considered the most normal.

Xia Yuan knew this.

This blue-haired young clergywoman should be called Xiel...

He is one of the characters in Tsukihime's storyline, and more importantly, he is the previous reincarnation of Roja.

He vaguely remembered that in the plot line, this person appeared as senior student Tono Shiki and was an important character in the plot, so he asked Emiya Kiritsugu to pay special attention to her.

The information that Emiya Kiritsugu gave him happened to include information about this girl's life experience, and it seemed that the information was obtained from Kotomine Kirei, who was also a member of the church.

Although he was somewhat puzzled about Emiya Kiritsugu's sudden investigation of a member of the Buried Organ, Kotomine Kirei had nothing to hide. When he was in the European Church, he happened to have worked with this member of the Buried Organ.

Since he wanted to know about her, he told Emiya Kiritsugu the information he knew via fax.

【——Hier was originally an ordinary girl, her father was the owner of a bakery in a small town in France. However, one day after her sixteenth birthday, the soul of Roya, the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, who was reincarnated into her body by mistake, gradually awakened. Eventually, Hier was controlled by him and became Roya's seventeenth reincarnation. She began an endless killing spree, destroying everything she had.

Roya, who was supposed to be reborn into a noble family, was eliminated before he could decide on a suitable reincarnation object. So this time he was accidentally reborn into the body of a child from an ordinary family, but he obtained a body that rivaled the first generation Roya.

The last reincarnated Roya was soon discovered and was besieged by multiple forces from the Holy Church and Elquet Brunstad. Roya's soul was reincarnated to the next target at the same time as Xiel's body died, but Xiel was resurrected after death and could not be killed no matter what. After confirming that she could not be killed, the church decided to let her join the Burial Agency.

According to the records in the archives of the Holy Church, Xiel inherited the powerful body and extremely rich magic knowledge left by Roya, the ancestor of the Dead Apostles. However, she rarely uses it under normal circumstances. Although she knows a lot of magic, she doesn't want to use it. It should be that these things related to Roya are related to her most terrifying memories and she doesn't want to use them.

He has a calm personality and is highly efficient at work. His strength should not be underestimated. He is currently the seventh-ranked agent in the Burial Agency and possesses the Seventh Sacred Scripture. 】

After reading the information provided by Kotomine Kirei, Xia Yuan had a deeper understanding of the girl in this plot.

Although she is very powerful and has a calm personality, this girl is also part of the many tragedies in Type-Moon's worldview.

A very tragic girl, who lost everything she deserved, was forced to be given an immortal life, and lingered on in the world. The only goal of revenge against Roya became the meaning of her life, and for this reason she persisted until now.

Xia Yuan is serious about this admiration.

He also felt sorry for this miserable girl. If she had not encountered the monster Roya, her family and friends would not have died, and she would not have become a half-human, half-ghost. She might have been living a happy life now.

This world is full of tragedy. Only magicians and monsters are free. Ordinary people have never been happy.

"Ugh……"

Although what he said made sense, it would have been better if he could put down the blue-haired girl who was nailed to the wall before expressing his feelings.

"It seems like I was a bit too harsh..."

Looking at Xier who was nailed to the wall and unable to move, Xia Yuan clapped his hands lightly and waved back the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that was fixed on the wall around her, and the girl regained her freedom.

However, she was still in a semi-faint state.

Since she was the one who attacked first, although she didn't have much killing intent, her target included Ryougi Shiki, so she was a little too aggressive and the sudden punch was quite fierce.

The unexpected Xier fainted and he obviously hasn't recovered yet.

"Let's go find Emiya Kiritsugu first. He should be imprisoned here..."

Xia Yuan took back the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and put Xier down, then moved her to the bench, worried that she might catch a cold, and then did not forget to cover her with a holy cloth.

But in Ryougi Shiki's opinion, this composition is somewhat strange.

“…Is this really how the Holy Shroud is used?”

……

……

"Then please take a seat."

Afterwards, Xia Yuan found the imprisoned Emiya Kiritsugu in the room inside and released him.

Afterwards, Xiyer, who had a special physique, also woke up from his coma. Then when several people were about to draw their swords, Xia Yuan suggested that they sit down and talk first?

"..."

After comparing the strength of both sides, Xier did not refuse and followed Xia Yuan to a family restaurant.

But the atmosphere is still not very good.

Shi was observing this skilled agent from the side, while Xia Yuan was calmly drinking his coffee. Across from him, Xier, who had just been beaten up, was lowering his head and eating the curry rice on the plate in big mouthfuls.

The three of them were all doing their own thing, no one spoke, and the atmosphere at the table was extremely awkward.

In the end, it was Xia Yuan who spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Save the curry for later, Miss Hiel. I didn't bring you here to treat you to a meal."

"Oh? Then what exactly is your purpose? Mr. Heretic Magician, it is not polite to come into the church's territory without being invited..."

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

Xia Yuan shook his head: "My men were taken away by you, I just came to take him back."

"Besides, you were the first one to test me since I walked through the door. I was just fighting back in self-defense."

"..."

Hearing this, Xier was stunned.

"You are a magician, fighting back in self-defense in the church?"

Is there anyone who fights back in self-defense in someone else's home?

"Isn't the church open to every believer in the Lord? I am also a believer in the Lord. Is there anything wrong with me coming to the church?"

Xia Yuan looked at Xier with a smile and answered. In order to increase his credibility, he even took out the black leather Bible published by the Holy Church given to him by Kotomine Kirei from his clothes and slapped it on the table.

Focus on a flexible belief.

"..."

At this moment, Xier's little head was full of question marks.

"Are you a heretic magician who still believes in religion?"

In response, Xia Yuan just smiled and did not answer.

Xiyeer: "..."

What is going on? When did such a weirdo appear in Misaki City?

When she was patrolling the city yesterday, she met a strange magician holding the black key, which is standard equipment for the agents of the Templar Church. He was hunting down the Dead Apostles before her.

This made Xier feel a little curious. Out of his duty as the local church manager, he chose to take him back and lock him up first. He would interrogate him thoroughly tomorrow to find out his origins and purpose, as well as where he got the church weapons.

As a result, before she could send someone to investigate Emiya Kiritsugu, the church was invaded.

The other party came without notice and did not hide his tracks. All the agents who tried to stop him were knocked unconscious and thrown into the yard.

A heretic magician came to the church alone. In addition, Misaki City had been acting strange recently, so she decided to take the initiative and subdue the two intruders first before questioning them. The result was...

She was no different from those ordinary agents. After just a few exchanges, she was pinned to the ground and knocked unconscious. She was unable to move.

The speed was so fast that he couldn't even react, and the force was so great that even his physique made him feel immense pain.

This sense of power and powerlessness even reminded her of the annoying crazy woman in the burial facility.

Where did this monster come from?

"You can attack clergymen in the church. I don't see that you have any fear of the Lord at all." Xier said coldly.

"Haha, believe it or not. You can imagine it. I just came here to take my men home."

"No...it should be more than that."

Putting down the spoon in his hand, Xier looked at Xia Yuan and asked, "If you are only here to look for your subordinates, then you should have left after finding them."

"Although they broke into the church's headquarters, they only knocked out the agents and didn't kill or injure anyone. But why did they deliberately bring them here?"

"We are not enemies, and I am not an ordinary magician. I have no prejudice against the church. The reason why I brought you here is also very simple."

"I finally met an expert in dealing with Dead Apostles, so of course I have to ask him some questions. After all, compared to an amateur like me, you, the Burial Agency, are the experts in this field."
