Matou Shinji Returns from Infinite

Francesca looked innocent.

"...Wait, this name... you shouldn't call her that in front of her, right?"

Shinji reacted suddenly.

"It's not my fault, right? When I heard that as long as I called her 'Red of Pain' in front of her, she would be wiped out with a smile on her face, so how could I not try it!"

Francesca was rightfully speaking words that deserved to be killed.

"Is that the reason why your aura is messy?"

Shen Er scanned her body carefully, trying to dissect the unknown secrets under her body with his magic-enhanced eyesight.

"As you can imagine, this isn't the first body I've used. I can't remember how many times I've changed it. There are too many people who killed me, too many to count. Killing me like Sister Sangchi can still make me unforgettable, there are very few people who lose speechlessly."

Referring to his dark history, Francesca showed a strong desire to tell, and began to count with enthusiasm.

"Excluding Kishua and Sister Sangchi, as well as the hedonistic Saint Germain, the fairy tale witch who lived in the long-term... Ah, now it's 'lived' in the long-term? And the rich blood-sucking of Monaco Kind of...a teacher who speaks a super ancient dialect at a certain school...and speaking of teachers, it's my magic masters."

"..."

Shinji frowned, suppressing the urge to get up and leave.

His reason told him he had better get rid of dry cleaning with this woman, or he would get burned sooner or later.

Let's see, what kind of people this guy has provoked.

Although I didn't name it, I can probably guess who it is just by listening to the description.

"Oh yes, besides the individual, the strength of the collective is also worth boasting. Ten or twenty years ago, when I traveled to the United States, I underestimated them so much that they were wiped out twice by the [Secret Agency] directly under the head. Ah, human beings are really A group that never disappoints at any time."

It was obvious that he was killed by an ordinary person who was far inferior to himself, not even a magician, but Francesca did not think it was a 'great shame', but regarded it as a surprise.

"It seems that I have to drain your use value as soon as possible before you are completely killed."

Regarding Francesca's tenacious vitality, Shinji said he was very calm.

It's not like he hasn't seen an immortal monster.

But everything has a limit.

If she kills her like this, sooner or later, she will run into someone who can kill her completely.

And people like that.

There are only a palm of his hand that he knows.

"As expected of the teacher's adopted son, I am not afraid to know that I have so many enemies. It is really touching. Although you are still young, I still promise to be your mistress when you grow up. Don't worry, even if you change For the body, I will also use a female body, of course if you like it, you can change it to a cute boy."

Francesca made a very moved look, and wiped the tears that did not exist from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Shut up, you talkative. Regarding your entrustment, I plan to find out the inside story first."

Shinji adjusted his sitting position a little and said solemnly:

"Why do you want to kill Aozaki Orange at this time? Isn't she in Fuyuki City now?"

"In order to facilitate the observation of the Holy Grail War, I specially built a magic workshop in Fuyuki City. Sister Sang Chi happened to know about it when she killed me last time and looted the loot in the workshop, and then she came over."

Francesca spread her hands and said helplessly.

"Sister Sang Chi is a thousand times more than you, insidious and difficult to deal with, chasing me to kill again and again, although there are reasons for me to stimulate her from time to time, but I think it is more likely that she regards me as a dragon Now, I usually like to stay in the workshop, and she seems to think that as long as she finds me and kills me, she can get the dragon's treasure logically."

"Haven't you tried to fight back?"

Shinji asked in surprise.

This is very abnormal. As an old monster who has lived for an unknown number of years, how could Francesca be bullied so easily and have no power to fight back, even if the opponent is one of the contemporary peak magicians. too realistic.

"Of course she fought back, but she, like me, can't be killed no matter what."

Francesca grumbled incessantly.

"Whenever I kill her, the dolls she left in other places will wake up, inherit their memories, and then continue to come to the door after learning their lessons. Many of my methods were cracked by her unreasonably like this. It's like A question maker is like a genius. After a long time, there is no way to take her. At least I haven't found a way to really kill her, just as she can't really kill me, we just consume each other like this But in fact, no matter how you look at it, I am the most disadvantaged!"

"Then you asked me to kill her. Could it be that you think I can really kill her?"

Shinji narrowed his eyes and deliberately questioned her words.

He was testing Francesca's true intentions.

Can he kill Aozaki Orange?

On this point, he is not good at asserting.

Haven't tried it after all.

But not absolutely impossible.

He wondered whether Francesca had made the commission on the basis of knowing that.

If it is, then the vigilance of this woman has to be full.

Because that is the core secret of his 'rebirth'.

"No, I never said that."

Francesca simply waved his hand, indicating that this was a unilateral misunderstanding by Shinji.

"I just want to take back my workshop. It's one of the few workshops that I value. Although she only took ownership of it and killed it once yesterday, she definitely won't be able to take it back for a while by herself. The workshop is evacuated, even if I worry about my comeback and make temporary changes to the workshop, the extent is limited, you are the adopted son of the teacher, and you have the protection of the goblin, if we join forces, there is still a good chance of winning."

"Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"

The information on the Great Holy Grail will be paid for whoever completes the quest.

Nothing more than a white wolf in empty gloves.

It's as if someone came to you for a business, offered an idea, and asked you to borrow money to invest in shares, promising to make money and pay it back later.

Although it has a bright future, it only 'appears' and cannot change its vicious nature, which is almost a fraud.

"Then what do you say? I don't have a cent on me now. If you want a deposit, I can only promise you verbally, and the result is still the same."

Francesca shrugged, barefoot and not afraid of shoes.

"It's not necessary."

Shinji stood up from the chair. Although the girl who was not sitting on the high stool was still taller, his eyes were full of a look down.

"Now that I know about this, there is no need to join forces with you. If you kill Aozaki Orange, your workshop and the information I need are mine."

"..."

Francesca was stunned.

"Didn't you think I was deliberately induced?"

"Induction? If yes, that's too welcome. Because compared to him, you are still far behind."

After that, Shinji left the bar.

Francesca was left alone with her head tilted and the corners of her mouth twisted into a へ shape.

"...appears to have made a loss-making sale."

Muttering like that, and then—

"But forget it, I found a better material than the upcoming Holy Grail War. Although I feel a little distressed, it is considered an early investment. A wonderful movie always needs a generous sponsor, just like Jill back then. I don’t know if I can see him as a Servant, it must be Saber or Rider, or Berserker? It’s better to call out the Saintess and make a guest appearance as a friend. It seems that there is such a mechanism... …No, no, no, you can’t cause trouble for the younger brother. Such a good shield must maintain a good relationship, patience, patience...you are the best, Fran sauce...well, what should I have for dinner tonight?"

Chapter 11. Is this the arbitrary door in the legend?

Since ancient times, magicians have built their workshops underground or on high places. The difference is nothing more than whether the main source of magic power in the workshop is the 'stars' representing the sky or the spiritual veins representing the earth.

It may not be logical to say that, but in fact, Shinji really doesn't know Fuyuki City well.

The map plate of Fuyuki City is larger than expected, not only the two urban areas of Shenshan Town and Xindu, but also most of the Yuanzang Mountains.

The strategic base prepared by the Einzbern family for the Holy Grail War was also established in the wilderness.

So, will Francesca's workshop be the same?

Shinji felt that things were not so simple.

That person... no, it's supposed to be a 'thing', which, despite calling herself a magician, feels more like her hobby.

He knows magic, but he never regards magic as the whole of his life.

This kind of ticket-playing behavior is a hundred times worse than the magician who regards magic as a prop, which is spurned by the industry.

If the association knows, it will definitely send a 'hound' to clear it up.

Francesca is not a seeker who devotes everything to magic in the true sense, so it would be inappropriate to use the inherent common sense of seekers to infer the location of her workshop.

"Observation... the best place to observe the Holy Grail War from start to finish."

The cold winter wind brushed against his cheeks, and the shadows of the steel deep forest were reflected in Shinji's eyes.

At the foot, only less than three centimeters.

is emptiness.

Because of the high probability of success in finding something from a height, he came to the roof above the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, the tallest building in Xindu.

No one knows how he got up.

No matter the person or the monitoring equipment, there is no trace left.

Like a wandering ghost.

Shinji looked out at the familiar homeland and pondered.

A detective's reasoning means nothing to a magician.

Techniques, suspicions, evidence, identities... as the key information of reasoning, can be tampered with by magic.

But magicians are human beings.

Being human, there will be 'motivation'.

The purpose of Francesca's workshop was to observe the Holy Grail War, so of course the location of the workshop must be built in a place that is easy to observe.

Just like the building he is standing on.

From a high place, you can clearly grasp all the troubles in the vicinity.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that Francesca has special means to observe the entire Fuyuki City.
