Zongman: Unlock the Heroic Spirit Heritage from Demon Slayer

Kiritsugu, who survived the disaster, immediately gave up all the missions issued by the Holy Church.

"Dealing with a monster like that is tantamount to committing suicide!"

The cold yet charming face of Heiji was deeply engraved in his mind.

……

At night, Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya also arrived at the castle shortly afterwards.

“Kiritsugu, you’re back! Maiya, you’ve worked hard too.”

Irisviel, who was waiting at the door, greeted him happily and hugged her husband.

Kiritsugu's face, which had never shown any emotion, also smiled.

"We're back."

"Good evening, ma'am."

As for Saber, she stood behind Irisviel without saying a word.

Kiritsugu didn't bother to approach them and asked about the situation of the two ordinary people.

"Ally, are you sure there's nothing wrong with that father and daughter?"

"There's no problem! Saber and I have confirmed it again and again! You said it, Saber!"

Altria was somewhat helpless and replied in a formulaic tone, "We have tried to test them many times. They know nothing about magic. However, they were surprisingly calm when they were caught."

"The lack of any flaws is the most suspicious, so my initial judgment is that they should be unrelated personnel, and Luqi and Ai Li's meeting is just a coincidence."

"Based on the above information, I suspect that the sneak attacking tentacles have the ability to bewitch people."

This would be a perfect inference if it weren't so contrary to the truth.

Irisviel, who was kept in the dark, cast an admiring look at Saber.

And Kiritsugu also agreed with Saber's analysis.

"But...my intuition tells me that these two people are not that simple."

Saber's [Intuition: A] is an ability that can only be used in battle.

Unexpectedly, it worked at this time.

"Maybe you are overthinking it. It is too shocking to see two such strong men appear at once who can hide from the eyes of the servants."

Kiritsugu still didn't believe Saber's words.

Masters and Servants who have a bad relationship will have disagreements on various things, and this is the case right now.

"But..."

She wanted to insist, but Kiritsugu refused to give in.

At this time, Irisviel came out to smooth things over.

"How about this, since no one has eaten dinner yet, how about we test it out at the dinner table tonight?"

The two people who were almost in an argument chose to take a step back.

"I agree with Ellie's suggestion."

"I have no objection, but Saber, you have to know that our current enemies are other Masters and Servants. Don't let two ordinary people make you suspicious."

Kiritsugu couldn't help but remind her again.

The two sides broke up unhappy.

……

Finally it was dinner time.

It was Alice who came to remind Zhou Yi and Altluchi to have their meal.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Dinner is ready. Please follow me."

Zhou Yi just shouted inside and followed the hostess of the castle to the first floor.

"Lucy?"

"She'll be here in a little while, let's go down first!"

She didn't think much about it, and they both came to the dining table together.

There is already someone sitting in the main seat.

"Hello, I'm Airi's husband, Emiya Kiritsugu."

Kiritsugu stood up first and stretched out his right hand. Without any intention of hiding anything, on the back of his hand was a bright red Command Seal mark.

"Zhou Yi is Luqi's father."

Zhou Yi looked at the Command Seal in Kiritsugu's hand curiously, but still took it.

"Sorry, my hand is injured, so I'm wearing gloves."

Very suspicious!

Saber's eyes were like a hawk, staring at Zhou Yi.

But Kiritsugu didn't care and smiled instead.

He had already tried it the moment he shook hands.

There was not a trace of magic power, that is, ether, on the other party's body.

How can a person without magic power participate in the Holy Grail War? How can one support a servant?

He gave Saber a smug smile, as if declaring his victory.

"It's okay. I understand. After all, everyone has a different job. And please rest assured, we will let you go after seven days."

Kiritsugu said calmly.

After he told her that his daughter would be here soon, everyone started eating the food on their plates without waiting.

"Mr. Zhou Yi, aren't you curious about what we do?"

Maiya asked.

"Of course not. The less you know about this kind of thing, the better, isn't it?"

Zhou Yi blinked at her.

Maiya's impression of him immediately reached freezing point.

"He is so frivolous, no wonder he separated from his wife!" she said in her heart with dissatisfaction.

Then there was an evil silence.

Kick, kick!

It was the sound of Altluchi coming down the stairs.

The last suspect is about to appear!

Alice came to the door considerately and opened it for the other party.

"Lucy, come and eat!"

"Thank you, Sister Ellie!"

Heiji smiled and hugged the other person.

It was such a joyful scene that even Saber began to wonder if she was being too sensitive.

But at this moment, Kiritsugu was suddenly stunned.

This face! This face should be cold!

Endless chill surged from behind him, and he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

"Eri! Stay away from that girl! She's Kurohime!!"

Everyone present stopped eating.

Zhou Yi looked at Kiritsugu in surprise.

This guy actually knows Heiji?

Maiya and Saber reacted even faster. One grabbed a hot weapon from under the table, while the other directly materialized her own armor and used the invisible weapon to overturn the dining table, then quickly jumped behind Irisviel.

"Kiritsugu, what are you talking about? Isn't Lucy just a child?"

She heard all the noises behind her, but she still couldn't believe it.

"You actually recognized me. What's your name? I have never seen you before, have I? Or did the Holy Church give you the information and lead me here just to destroy me?"

Altluqi's smile disappeared immediately, her scarlet eyes and slightly drooped mouth corners revealed a calmness that did not belong to a girl of her age.

"Stay away from Irisviel!" Artoria rushed to Irisviel's side and tried to take her back.

The invisible weapon tried to cut off Altruci's hand that was hugging Irisviel.

But alas, she is not alone.

"The farce ends here!"

Zhou Yi threw the dinner knife in his hand to stop Saber's action.

"You are in cahoots with her!"

Saber glared at Zhou Yi who was deceiving her.

0 ·········Request flowers· ·······

Maiya and Kiritsugu turned their guns and pointed them at him.

"What is your purpose?!"

Facing their questioning, Zhou Yi looked at the spilled dinner on the ground with regret and said:

"I am protecting you. King Arthur alone can't do anything to my daughter. Don't you think so, Leah?"

Heiji's father?

Is there really such a person? And how could he know Saber's real name!

Kiritsugu felt something was wrong, and the finger on the trigger became heavier and heavier.

"Don't take advantage of me! That's all there is to acting!"

Heiji said dissatisfiedly.

But on the side, Artoria, who was originally glaring, put down her weapon at this moment and murmured:

"I was wondering if the name Zhou Yi sounded familiar. It turns out it's you!"

[Breath Block: EX] is removed.

"Saber! What are you doing? The other party is trying to harm Ai Li!"

Kiritsugu scolded anxiously.

Right now, their biggest reliance for rescuing Ellie is this servant, King Arthur.

If she gives up resisting, Ellie will be in danger!

"Don't worry, this girl in front of you whom you call Heiji may not be a good person, but Zhou Yi will definitely not sit idly by and watch Ellie get hurt." Altria explained.

. 0 .......

"What's wrong with you Servants? Every one of you knows him! How boring."

Heiji retreated from Irisviel's arms like a little girl who had lost her favorite toy.

She stared at Zhou Yi in front of her with dissatisfaction, as if asking for an explanation.

The hostage was released, and Kiritsugu and Maiya were stunned.

"Ally, come here!"

Alice, who was unable to react for a moment, had no choice but to obey her husband and return to his side, then asked in confusion: "Zhou Yi, Luqi, what is going on?"

"Then let me reintroduce you."

"The one pretending to be my daughter is Kurohime - Altruchi Brunstad, the King of the Dead Apostles. She is also a participant in this Holy Grail War."
