I, Who Saved Xingyue, Became the Master of Xingyue

This residential area to the east of the Mion River was originally a new town built by developing the wilderness during the period of high growth.Although it was not planned as a deep mountain town with a deep sense of history at that time, Fuyuki City was facing a large-scale redevelopment action because the government and the public planned to use the state-owned railway ruins to build a modern commercial street.

Although [-]% of the buildings that will soon become commercial streets are still unfinished, the park and shopping malls in front of the station are about to open.The new metropolis to be built will appear clean and pale, gorgeous but impersonal.The city government has also gradually moved to Xindu, and steel bars, glass and coatings have also been combined into various modern buildings.The urban functions of this mountainous city are gradually being forced to change.

Because it was the afternoon of a rest day, there were a lot of people on the street today.The relentless temperature of the north wind is like the indifferent attitude among people.Emiya Kiritsugu seemed inconspicuous in such a crowd, drowning in the crowd like a transparent existence.

His T-shirt and jacket looked old, and he didn't carry any luggage with him.He walked unhurriedly, and no one would think he was a foreigner.After entering the country, he came to the new capital of Fuyuki City on foot.And because Japan, which he has not seen for a long time, is his birthplace, he is quite used to the environment here.

just now.Involuntarily, he bought a pack of cigarettes from the vending machine.He looked at the cigarette case, and his mood became complicated.

It has been nine years since I quit smoking.Part of the reason is that you can't buy the good cigarettes you are used to in far away Einzbern.Part of it is because I don't want my wife and daughter to worry about me anymore.And because the mind is full of the upcoming battle.The moment Kiritsugu stood firmly on the Fuyuki platform, he habitually stuffed coins into the vending machine.

After clearing his mind, he bought a disposable lighter from a convenience store on the side of the road, and he opened the pack of cigarettes. The white filter made him feel dazzling for a moment.

Putting a cigarette in his mouth, lighting it up, and quitting smoking for nearly ten years, these actions are done in one go.Quietly inhaling the calming aroma, this taste is as familiar and intimate as if you just tasted it yesterday.

Feeling the complex and real state of mind brought by the smoke, Kiritsugu began to re-examine the various scenes around him.

Although I came here secretly to investigate three years ago, compared to that time, Fuyuki City today has completely changed.Although changes are to be expected.But the extent of the change far exceeded my imagination.It seems that I need to reconfirm the nearby geographical environment.

Kiritsugu was not very good at changing the division of regions.He thought about countermeasures and arrived at his destination, a hotel.

"Dad, did you send someone to Fuyuki City long ago? And you have scouted the terrain in Fuyuki City before?"

Kuro's eyes turned to Emiya Kiritsugu, doubts flickered in his eyes.

"I came here three years ago, as for the one who booked this hotel is my subordinate." Emiya Kiritsugu said lightly.

"Is that so... but... subordinates?" Xiao Hei's eyes flickered with confusion, does the father in this world have subordinates?

Only the lobby and the front desk of this hotel are decent.At best, it is a cheap hotel equivalent to a business hotel.From travelers with families to men and women who have a one-night stand, the guests here can be described as diverse.And because of this, this is the best place to hide your identity.

Kiritsugu walked through the hall calmly, and took the elevator to the seventh floor.Three days ago, his loyal subordinates should have been waiting in Room [-].

His subordinate is called Hisu Maiya.

The relationship with Maiya Hisau.In the words of magicians, perhaps they should be called master and apprentice.

And Kiritsugu himself never regarded magic as the object of his search.It was just learned as a method of fighting, so in his mind, he never had the concept of master and apprentice.Kiritsugu simply taught Maiya the fighting methods he knew, and this was only because Maiya herself was also an integral part of his methods.At that time, no one knew where the Holy Grail was, and there was a constant desperate battle to realize the dream that they knew could not be realized.

Therefore, the relationship between Kiritsugu and Maiya even predates Irisviel.Even his wife didn't know the other side of his bloody debt, but Maiya, who had fought with him, knew it clearly.

He knocked on the door of Room [-] with the rhythm of the agreed code, and the door opened immediately as if waiting for his arrival.There were no unnecessary greetings with the people in the room, just an exchange of eyes and the moment of meeting again ended.Kiritsugu walked into the house in silence, and closed the door.

The contact between Kiritsugu and Maiya is quite frequent.Since Kiritsugu stepped back from the front line, she has been running around in other places according to his instructions to prepare for the Holy Grail War; she also went to Einzbern several times to discuss related matters with him.

Although Maiya is a beauty with regular features, she never wears makeup.Her slender eyes often give people a cold feeling.Although her silky black hair may have fascinated many men, but as long as she has a sharp look in her eyes, any man will give up the idea of ​​getting close to her.

Unconsciously, the two have worked together for more than ten years.Although she was just a little girl when we first met, once the immaturity of her appearance was stripped away, her innate sharpness began to be revealed without a doubt.

Working with such a beauty, most people would probably feel exhausted due to too much pressure, but Kiritsugu was just the opposite.Maiya was always able to make correct and unchangeable judgments based on the situation at the time, and Kiritsugu was by her side, but he was never ashamed of his despicableness, nor hated her cruelty.Perhaps, this is also a sense of peace of mind.

Slightly glanced at this beauty, it turned out to be her... Xiao Hei said silently in his heart.

Hisu Maiya also existed on Chaldea. Xiao Hei didn't meet her many times, but he knew that she had some relationship with his father, but he didn't know exactly what it was.

Usually, when the family is together, Hisu Maiya would only watch from a distance, which made Xiao Hei feel very strange, and now I understand why, it turned out to be his father's subordinates... Well, I guess there is still a mistress Relationship.

Xiao Hei can see the hidden love in the eyes of the other party, and listening to his father introduce this person, it is obvious that his father saved the other party when there was only despair in the other party's life. In this case, the other party will like it The father is normal, but the father finally married the mother, which shows that the other party only hides this affection deep in his heart.

After the introduction between the two sides, Hisu Maiya started to get down to business.

"Last night, there was an action at the Tohsaka mansion. A video has been made, please confirm. In addition, all the equipment has arrived."

"Report the situation first." Emiya Kiritsugu said flatly.

Maiya nodded.Picked up the remote control of the TV and pressed the switch.

In the magic taught by Kiritsugu.Maiya has shown extraordinary talent for manipulating low-level familiars.Because of this, Kiritsugu often entrusts her with scouting and investigation tasks.

Maiya's most proud familiar is a bat, but unlike other magicians, she has an ultra-small CCD camera attached to the belly of her bat. Of course, this is the method Kiritsugu came up with.Since magicians often confuse others with illusions, enchantment camouflage, or hints, almost no one would think of taking precautions against electronic devices.Video recording can be used as strong evidence in the future, and it is a very effective method to eliminate the disadvantage of making the familiar's actions cumbersome, and using a camera at the same time.

On a thirteen-inch screen.A part of the Tohsaka mansion was recorded from beginning to end last night.It's not clear enough, but enough to make it clear what's going on.A Servant wearing a skull mask was helplessly wiped out by a golden Servant.Kiritsugu confirmed the fact without even moving his eyebrows.

The assassin's class mark was clearly visible on the white mask worn by the defeated Servant.

"Gilgamesh..." Xiao Hei's eyes flashed a little heavy, and he silently read the other party's real name in his heart.

"What do you think of this beginning?"

"Looks perfect."

Maiya immediately answered Kiritsugu's question.

The time between when the assassins materialized and when Tohsaka's Servants attacked was too short.Can only think that it has been in standby mode.If it is because the intruder has long been aware of the spiritual state, it is understandable.But the assassin has the ability to interrupt the breath after all, so it's hard to imagine what I think.Tohsaka knew in advance that someone would invade.

Kiritsugu nodded.As expected of the subordinates he taught, they had exactly the same ideas as themselves.

If you think about it that way, it would be incredible.Since Tohsaka had time to wait for the enemy to come to him, why didn't he use this time to go out to meet him directly, instead, he specially highlighted the Servant.

The Tohsaka family has experienced the second and third Holy Grail competitions, and its master must be familiar with various theories of war.Therefore, it is impossible for him not to know that the Yuansaka Mansion, his base camp, is being monitored by others.

However, Tohsaka Tokiomi dispatched the Servant without hesitation.In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a bad idea.

The so-called Holy Grail War is the duel between heroic warriors who were famous in the past.Those heroes inherited, in most cases, contain some information on tactical essentials, strengths and weaknesses, and so on.In other words, Heroic Spirits have already exposed their skills and weaknesses from the very beginning.

Because of this, in the Servant battle, the true identity of the heroic spirit must be strictly guarded, so when addressing the heroic spirit, it is never called by its real name, but by class.

And last night.However, Tohsaka unreservedly used servants and similar sure-kill tricks.Although this is not a fatal mistake, it can be easily avoided, such as leading the assassin to the mansion before starting the battle.Tohsaka didn't even care whether he was being watched or not.

"Something that was supposed to be kept secret was seen, maybe because I wanted to show it to others from the beginning."

Regarding Maiya's words.Kiritsugu nodded again.

"Indeed. If you do this, how valuable it will be to whom, this question will come out after thinking about it. Maiya, what happened to the master of the assassin."

"I took refuge in the church last night and was protected by the supervisor. It is said that the priest's name is Kotomine Kirei."

heard the name.There seemed to be a trace of cool fear in Kiritsugu's eyes.

"Karen's father..." Xiao Hei said silently in his heart.

"Maiya, go to Fuyuki Church to arrange a familiar, just one first."

"Is it possible? Master interferes with the church's inviolable zone is strictly prohibited."

"Get as close as possible without being noticed by the priest. Don't bother controlling it too much, and don't let it do anything."

Kiritsugu's instruction made Maiya a little confused.She couldn't help frowning.

So it's not used to spy on the church?

Just act like you're watching.Or just be careful and hide in a place where you will never be found.

"Yes. I see."

Even if he doesn't understand Kiritsugu's intentions.Maiya would never ask further questions.She immediately sent a thought to one of the bats that was monitoring the Tohsaka mansion, ordering it to fly to the Fuyuki Church outside the new capital.

"By the way, another servant appeared behind and injured the golden Servant!"

As he said that, the paused picture jumped again, seeing that follower, Xiao Hei's eyes could not help but glisten with joy.

She was still not sure who her elder brother Tianyang would be summoned by, but she didn't expect her elder brother Tianyang to stand up so quickly and fight Gilgamesh directly.

But this is also a matter of course. For Tianyang, Gilgamesh is a special existence in his heart, so now that Tianyang has become stronger, he can't wait to find Gilgamesh to try his own strength , At the same time, I want to show Gilgamesh who is watching this scene above Chaldea, let her understand that she has grown to such a point, it should be said that she can't wait for the other party's approval.

Even being recognized by a powerful person is not as good as being recognized by an important and special person in my heart.

Chapter 15 The Truth About Artoria

"This Servant!" Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't expect that one strong man after another would appear in this Holy Grail War. If he followed King Arthur's way, he would probably lose miserably.

After watching the battle recorded by the familiar, Kiritsugu turned off the TV and began to check the equipment and items prepared by Maiya.

Xiao Hei stood aside silently, and began to think about the Holy Grail War.

Gilgamesh was messed up by Brother Tianyang, so he will probably take it seriously.

It seems that I have to be more careful, without knowing who the opponent is.

----

At the same time that Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya met at the hotel in Shinto, at Airport F, the closest airport to Fuyuki City, a chartered plane of Alitalia originating from Germany was slowly landing on the runway.

Although it is also tested by the cold winter, the winter in Japan is not the same as the harsh winter in Einzbern.Irisviel von Einsbern looked up at the soft afternoon sun, and felt a burst of relief in her heart.

"This is where Kiritsugu was born."

What a great place.Although I had a certain understanding through photos and so on before, Irisviel couldn't help but admire again after experiencing it personally.

It's not just the mood that feels relaxed.This time she played as a tourist.Therefore, what I prepare is not the usual dress, but the ordinary clothes that are as close to ordinary people as possible.Even though she was only wearing flat boots and a knee-length skirt, it also gave her the feeling of a new life, and she moved freely and easily.

However, for the relatively isolated Einzbern people, their so-called common people's clothing is far from the scope of common people.Silk shawls and knee-length boots, coats made of silver fox fur, are the kind of clothing that can only be seen in the windows of high-end shopping malls, and they are definitely expensive.For Irisviel, who has been cared for as a treasure since she was a child, this luxurious and expensive attire looks so contrasting.It can even be said that only such a attire is worthy of her flowing silver hair and beautiful appearance.

Although she prepared such a commoner's costume in order to pretend to be an ordinary person, it is a pity that this is only a commoner in the eyes of the Einzbern people.And a beauty like her, no matter how she wears it, she won't look like an ordinary person.

"Illya, Caster, Saber, how does air travel feel?"

Irisviel got off the plane first, and said to her daughter and the two Servants who were following behind.

"It's not bad, after all, I can fly." Elias Fel said that she can fly whenever she wants, and it's even more boring to fly.

"It's very interesting. If I can, I really want to fly in the air like Caster!" Illya looked at her other self enviously, leaving Eliasfier at a loss for what to say.

"It's nothing special. It's more boring than expected." Arturia disagreed with the other two.

This should be a sincere sentence.The expression in Artoria's glazed pupils was as calm as usual.

"What a pity, I thought you would thank me with a face of surprise."

"Irisviel, you don't think I'm a primitive person, do you?"

Facing Arturia's frowning and dissatisfied expression, Irisviel showed an innocent smile.

"Flying is probably not surprising at all for Heroic Spirits."

"It's not like that. It's just that I appeared in this modern society as a Servant, and I have learned a lot of modern knowledge. And as a swordsman, I also have riding skills. If anything, I think I can control this machine called an airplane. "

While speaking, Artoria glanced at Ilyasviel, "It's very rare to be able to fly in the air like Caster, maybe it's because of the magic dress in her hand."

Irisviel was stunned by Artoria's words.

"Can you fly a plane?"

"I think so. The objects of my riding skills are all rideable objects. As long as you step up and hold the reins, you can quickly adapt and control them."

Irisviel finally couldn't help laughing.She didn't see the cockpit of the plane.She wondered what she would think if she walked into the cab and found there were no saddles and reins but many instruments she had never seen before.
