"Master, why did you buy so many speakers?"
Tamamonomae brought a bento box to Sakura Matou and asked about Ootenzu's preparations.
"You'll find out tonight."
Mizutsu asked Sakura Matou to eat somewhere far away, because it would be better for children not to hear what he was going to say next, and then he turned on the speaker and started recording.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Along with this light cough, a series of words came out of Mizoguchi's mouth. Tamamonomae, who was listening nearby, was startled and looked a little surprised. She didn't expect that the elegant and easy-going Inari God would actually...
……
In the afternoon, Mizutsu came to the warehouse area at the dock in Fuyuki City and asked the foxes to tie the horns to high places around them. Only after everything was done did he go back to take care of Sakura Matou and rest for a while.
……
Meanwhile, at Fuyuki City Airport.
Irisviel, dressed in white, stepped off the plane, feeling the breeze from Japan, and said, "Is this Kiritsugu's country? This is the first time I've seen it. So the scenery outside the castle looks like this."
"Ms. Irisviel, for the next seven days, this city will be our battlefield. Please be careful. Our enemies are watching us closely in the dark."
Saber, who was dressed in a black butler uniform, reminded.
"Thank you for your concern, Saber."
Irisviel stood in front of a black Maybach that was specially sent to pick them up. As a German noble family with the surname "Von", the assets possessed by the Einzbern family were unimaginable. Not only did they have a German-made Maybach, they even had a castle in the suburbs of Fuyuki City for them to use in battles.
……
When the last Saber arrived in Fuyuki City, the Holy Church spread the news and informed all registered Masters.
"The Holy Grail War begins tonight."
Sitting on the top floor of the tallest building in Fuyuki City, Kenneth received a letter from the Holy Church. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It was finally time for him to show his skills.
"Lancer, let us ring the bell to mark the beginning of the Holy Grail War."
Kenneth said.
"Yes, my Lord."
Lancer, dressed in green, knelt on one knee.
……
As night falls, the light and shadows gradually dim.
On the beach along the coast of Fuyuki City, Irisviel was watching the sea with Saber.
This was the first time in Irisviel's life that she had stepped out of the Einzbern family's winter city, and everything in the outside world was new to her.
There is always only wind and snow outside the windows of the Winter City, and such a vast ocean has only been seen in pictures.
"Saber, what do you think is on the other side of the sea?"
Looking out at the endless sea, Irisviel couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"That's Great Britain across the sea."
Saber said without any interest.
"But I remember that the sea east of Japan seemed to be the Pacific Ocean, and the sea close to the present-day 'Great Britain' was the Atlantic Ocean. They were not in the same place."
With her hand on her chin, Irisviel's knowledge was not so high that she couldn't even understand world geography.
"Is that so? But in my opinion, wherever there is sea, Great Britain is waiting for it at the end."
Saber responded cleverly.
"It seems that Saber likes Great Britain very much."
Irisviel covered her mouth and chuckled.
"That was the homeland I once protected, and even now, I will continue to protect it."
Saber said.
"Thank you, Saber, for playing around with me all day. The last time I was so happy was when I met Kiritsugu and our child was born."
Irisviel, who left the airport in the afternoon, did not immediately meet up with Emiya Kiritsugu because the latter still had to maintain covert operations. They could not take the initiative to contact each other and could only wait for contact to come.
Before that, it was just meaningless autonomous action.
Irisviel lamented the life of ordinary humans, and Saber took her to various places in Fuyuki City.
Although we are currently in the Holy Grail War, in accordance with the first rule of the magic world, "mystery must be hidden", the fight for the Holy Grail will only take place at night.
As we all know, the Holy Grail War is fought in secret.
"!!!"
As they were talking, Saber looked alert, and Irisviel also felt nervous. Then the two looked at each other, and it was obvious that they both noticed something unusual.
"That guy is releasing his magic power a hundred meters away. It looks like he is challenging us to a fight."
Saber said.
"Then let's go fight."
Irisviel believed in Saber's power because she was a legendary...
……
"First, let's summarize the identities of the Servants participating in this battle."
After coaxing Matou Sakura to sleep, Mizutsu and Tamamonomae came to a commanding height from which they could observe the dock warehouse area, and then summarized: "Caster, Tamamonomae, that is, you useless fox."
"Wow, wow, wow~ Tamamo-chan is so useful, she even knew to buy dinner for Matou Sakura."
Tamamonomae pretended to be pitiful.
I was rejected by Yuzhuanjin again.
"The next Berserker is Medusa, the legendary snake-haired monster."
Yuzhongjin ignored Tamamonomae's poor acting and continued, "The next part is the key point. Do you see the two servants over there?"
Following the direction pointed by Yuzenjin, Tamamonomae saw three figures standing on both sides of the center of the dock warehouse area.
On one side were Irisviel and Saber, and on the other side was Lancer holding two guns.
As for Lancer's Master, he has not yet appeared.
After a brief conversation, the two sides immediately launched a tentative attack.
The weapon in Saber's hand was refracted by the power of the wind, making it invisible and invisible to the naked eye, but judging by the gesture of her holding the weapon, it was obviously a sword.
"The blonde servant, whose job is Saber, is the legendary Knight King, Altria Pendragon, the legendary king of ancient Great Britain."
Mizojin explained to Tamamonomae: "In addition to the original job skills, he also possesses extraordinary "intuition", excellent "magic power release", and "leadership temperament" that cannot be reflected in individual single battles; the anti-city treasure "Sword of Promised Victory" can destroy Fuyuki City in one blow without controlling the range."
"The legendary King Arthur was actually a woman?"
Tamamonomae was a little surprised by this.
When she became a Servant and was summoned to the world, she was instilled with the necessary common sense of life by the Holy Grail, as well as most of the epics and myths currently known to people as reference material.
According to records, King Arthur should be a male.
“It’s really unexpected.”
Yuzhongjin nodded slightly and continued, "The coquettish man in blue next to him is Lancer, who can be seen with the naked eye. His true identity is Diarmait Oudina, the 'Glorious Look', the chief warrior of the Irish Fianna Knights, who is known as 'unparalleled in the world' in Celtic mythology."
"Oh~."
Tamamonomae stared at Diarmait for a long time, then looked at Yuzuru and said, "Master, why can that guy wear a bodysuit? I want to wear one too."
"Shut up first, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."
Yuzhongjin held Tamamonomae's head and said, "Don't just look at her flirtatiousness. Did you see the black mole under her eye? The "Black Mole of Love" blessed by the fairy will make women who face him have strong feelings for him. However, the level of this blessing is not high, so it is very easy to exempt it."
"I'm so envious... Ugh, what a damned ability, it's actually charm?"
Tamamonomae got hard, his fist got hard!
"Through practice and training, one develops the ability to accurately predict the opponent's actions and break through dangerous situations. Even when cornered, one can calmly grasp the situation of oneself and the enemy and find a way out of it. "
Yuzhongjin kept recalling Diarmait’s intelligence, and then said: “Even if you are not as strong as your opponent, you can accurately grasp the direction of the battle and induce the opponent’s mistakes. With the cooperation of “Mind’s Eye (Truth)”, even if Saber has “Intuition”, she will be targeted by him.”
"What a terrifying close combat expert. Fortunately, I am now a Caster, playing the long-range damage output position."
Tamamonomae put his hand on his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "Lord Inari, who do you think will win between the two of them?"
"I just mentioned Lancer's melee ability, but don't forget his Noble Phantasm."
Yuzhongjin slowly said the two names: "The Red Rose that Breaks Demons, and the Yellow Rose that Must Be Destroyed."
Volume 109 FZ/Kara no Kyoukai (Part 4): Chapter Chapter Ancient Beings [K]
……
"I know I know!"
Now that he knew Lancer's real name, Tamamonomae could naturally predict his abilities through the data documents transmitted by the Holy Grail.
According to legend, Diarmait possessed two pairs of weapons, namely a spear and a long sword, and a short spear and a short sword. The opponent who appeared in the world as a Lancer was using a pair of double pistols from these two pairs of weapons.
"The Red Rose of Magic Breaker is a sharp spear that can negate defenses made of magic. Its attacks are particularly effective against armor made of magic. Magical enhancements and even additional abilities applied to weapons will lose their effects when they come into contact with this spear."
Tamamonomae stroked his chin and continued, "The runes on the red magic spear mean 'Sacred Tree', 'Binding', 'Gift', 'Birch (Richness)' and finally 'God of War (Victory)'."
These runes are not completely useless, but unfortunately it is difficult to demonstrate their effects at the current stage.
"The Yellow Rose of Doom, the Yellow Pistol with the Curse of 'Unhealable Wounds'. If you are damaged by this dangerous pistol, it will cause irreversible damage and reduce your physical strength limit. Even using 'Healing Magic' or 'Regeneration Ability' will not be able to remove the 'injured state' caused by it."
At this point, Tamamonomae frowned slightly. The effect of this short spear was indeed very sinister. Then he added: "The runes on the yellow magic spear mean 'success', 'hail (strength)', 'gift', 'birch (richness)' and 'war god (victory)'."
"Yes, these are Lancer's two Noble Phantasms. They are both anti-human and demonic spears. They can exert their full effect without chanting their True Names. They are very unique."
Yuzhongjin looked at the battle between Saber and Lancer and made a prediction, saying, "In terms of overall strength, Saber is stronger, but Lancer's Noble Phantasm is very hidden, and it is a first sight kill. Under the "Red Rose of Demon Breaker", if this is only Lancer's only ability, Saber will most likely remove her armor to increase her speed to counter it."
At this point, Saber, who was fighting, indeed took off her armor, gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands, and prepared to suppress Lancer at a faster speed than him.
"However, if you really do this, Lancer will use his "Yellow Rose of Destruction"."
Yuzhongjin watched as Lancer used his foot to pick up the pistol, preparing to engage in a head-on battle with Saber.
The two sides immediately came into close contact and neither of them retreated.
"Trade injury for injury. Even though Lancer is not strong enough and needs to endure more damage, his injuries can be healed by magic, but Saber can only remain in a seriously injured state and her combat power will be permanently reduced."
The two sides exchanged positions in an instant, blood splattered on Lancer's chest, while Saber was only stabbed in the arm and her tendons were damaged.
The Masters of both parties immediately performed recovery magic.
Lancer's blood light disappeared, but Saber turned around and glanced behind her, whispering: "Irisviel, please use magic to restore me as well."
"I've already used it! Logically speaking, you should have no problem now."
Irisviel obviously couldn't understand the situation, but it only took a moment for her to realize that the problem was with the magic spear in Lancer's hand, and at the same time she determined his real name.
The red gun that can destroy demons and the yellow gun that can cause irreversible injuries.
"Ireland's 'glorious face'..."
Saber also recognized the other party.
"When Lancer's abilities are fully exposed, his first kill will also be useless, and he will have to endure a pure attribute battle with almost no Noble Phantasms. But it doesn't matter. Saber's left hand cannot hold the sword with full strength, and her Noble Phantasm "Sword of Promised Victory" is also sealed."
Yuzhongjin said: "The two servants who have lost their advantage are obviously in a stalemate."
"There is an old saying in Shenzhou, of course it is not as old as mine, anyway, it goes like this: 'The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind', 'When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains'. Lord Inari, how about we take advantage of this opportunity to kill both of them?"
After saying that, Tamamonomae pulled out a sniper rifle from somewhere, instantly set it up and aimed at Saber. Because Yuzhongjin said that Lancer's overall ability was not as good as Saber's, so he planned to kill the stronger one first.
"Where did you get this gun?"
Yuzhuanjin just felt that there were a few question marks.
"I bought this while shopping in the mall this morning. How is it? Imported from Croatia, this is an R20 sniper rifle for anti-material use. It is said to be able to penetrate a light tank. It took me an entire afternoon to modify it. Now its effective range is meters. The bullets are made of silver with extremely strong enchantment ability. It can launch an explosive spell the moment it hits the target, destroying everything within a radius of meters."
Tamamonomae gave a thumbs up and waited for praise.
