[Comprehensive] Self-cultivation of the villain master

Different from the last Fuyuki Holy Grail War, this time there were so many emergencies that it was not enough for Astra to sum it up as complicated and changeable.Just the fact that the Holy Grail this time came from Leif, who wants to destroy... no, the person who has already destroyed humanity, is enough to make people worry about this Holy Grail War, and it is still on a large scale of seven vs. seven.

But now, it is found that the initial guess does not match the reality. Kotomine Chirei and Kotomine Shirou seem to differ only by one name, but in fact there is an indescribable difference.

Humans and followers are never the same.

The former can have the future, while the latter can only represent the past.

But now, seeing that the followers have grasped the future, the target they had to deal with at the beginning was even worse than Yanfeng Qili... Many things are not that simple.

After confirming that Lancer Artoria's will remained unchanged, Astra returned to the hall. Since Irisviel had already taken Emiya Kiritsugu to rest, the place seemed very empty.

After taking out the communicator and contacting Romani Akiman in Chaldea, Astra leaned back, and her tense nerves relaxed a lot.

"Fujimaru Tachika and Matthew, I have already arranged, Doctor Roman."

Just after I poured myself another cup of black coffee, I received a call from another master, Astra, and brought the coffee to the podium.

Then, I heard the other party speak actively.

As the commander-in-chief of Chaldea, Romani Akiman knew very well that Astra did not wait for him to speak, generally speaking, there was an emergency.

It's just—everything has been determined, and when the Holy Grail War begins, what other changes will happen?

"You don't seem as calm as you make out, Astra."

Astra was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly.

"We met Kotomine Shirou, a servant of the Ruler class."

Hearing this name, Romani Akiman was silent for a moment, and asked, "Well, is there anything wrong with this servant?"

According to the girl follower named Jeanne d'Arc when I met the first singularity, everyone including Tatsuka Fujimaru understood the reason for her existence.

When the Holy Grail War is distorted or its essence changes, corresponding Ruler servants will appear to judge this war.

In everyone's eyes, this is a very normal thing.

But now Astra started the topic with such a servant representing justice, then things must not be as simple as he judged.

"Yanfeng Qili is the holder of the Holy Grail we always thought."

Listening to the communication on the other side, Dr. Roman didn't speak.

"Before today, I always thought that our judgment would not be wrong. That man's words had inexplicable reasons for calling out such a ridiculous war."

"Listen to your tone, are you denying our previous judgment now?"

"Yes. Although it's a pity, in fact—Kotomine Qili did not participate in this Holy Grail War."

The young man with soft hair widened his eyes and hurriedly said: "Wait—! You mean—"

"Kotomine Shirou is the holder of the Holy Grail this time. He is a servant of the Ruler class, and he also participated in the Holy Grail War as Kotomine Chirei's older brother."

Hearing this, Commander Chaldea's heart sank.

"Looking at you, have you already fought against him?"

Since the origins of Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel are hard to say, when Astra introduced him to Fujimaru Tachika, he also said that he was a temporary sponsor. After all, he did not come from a regular magic family, and the boy had nothing to say to him. significance.

As for Romani's words, it was impossible for Astra to tell Emiya Kiritsugu's question, she just said a simple trick, and didn't say a word more.

The commander-in-chief of Chaldea knew what Astra was hiding, and he didn't point it out.

After thinking for a long time, Romani Akiman looked solemn.

"This singularity is probably not as simple as we thought."

Ever since he met Saga and Kudo Shinichi and others, Astra has never thought that this world is easy. The reason why he chose Sawada Tsunayoshi and others as the master is also for the sake of convenience. For them in this Holy Grail He didn't care what role he played in the war.

"Yes."

"Do you need Fujimaru Tachika and the others to go to the Holy Grail War site with you tonight? You see, Kotomine Chirei is not an enemy, at least not as dangerous as I thought before."

In this regard, Astra did not agree.

"That Kotomine Shirou is not a Ruler like Joan of Arc. I can feel it when I fight him—his purpose is not as simple as it appears."

Now Astra, who is not a Ruler, cannot use his ability to see through Kotomine Shirou's real name, so naturally he has no way to formulate a corresponding counter plan, so he can only put this matter aside.

"Everything that can be prepared has been completed, and the rest will wait for tonight."

After confirming the assistance that Chaldea will provide, Astra ended the communication with the opposite party.

After turning off the communicator, Astra put it in his pocket and touched the studs on his ears.After thinking about it, he still tapped the earrings lightly.

"Saga has been hidden according to your request. What happened on your side? If not, I will let him take the initiative to attack."

"Shinichi Kudo, I'm in trouble."

While holding the communicator while writing the document in his hand, Kudo Shinichi said doubtfully: "I contacted Saga before, and he said that everything is ready on your side, but—isn't that the case?"

"An unexpected change happened, and I need to communicate directly with Saga. Do you... have his contact method?"

After thinking for a while, Kudo Shinichi suggested: "Let's do this. Anyway, we won't have any contact for the time being, so I'll just transfer your contact to him."

"Please do this, thank you."

As if hearing something strange, Kudo Shinichi's expression changed slightly, he moved his lips unnaturally, cut off the contact, and found Saga.

"Gemini Saga, Astra will contact you directly afterwards, it seems that something went wrong."

After pondering for a while, Saga's expression remained unchanged.

"Did Senior Astra say something changed?"

"I don't know. I'm not involved in your affairs. What's going on now... To be honest, I can't figure it out. In short-you can make a big fuss, and we will take care of it if there is a problem. "

Hearing that the communicator was hung up over there, Saga smiled wryly and said, "...Trouble? How could I be interested in this?"

After a while, Saga received a contact from Astra.

"There is still an hour before the Holy Grail War will start, you can try... attack Fuyuki Church."

Thinking that he had heard it wrong, Saga reconfirmed what was said on the other side, and it was still clear four words, which proved that he did not have an illusion.

Gawain was a little uneasy when he learned from his master that King Arthur was also among the summoned servants. After all, the destruction of the Knights of the Round Table was due to his immaturity.Even though what happened between Queen Guinevere and Lancelot, he obviously had a better way to deal with it, but he chose the most inappropriate one.

Because of this, he did not take the initiative to ask Ying to attack immediately, but has been wandering in the dark, just like his current mood, completely unable to see the light.

"Saber, prepare to attack."

Hearing this at first, Gawain thought his Master was joking, so he said, "The Holy Grail War hasn't started yet, Master."

"Well, our target is not the enemy servant, but another person."

Astra didn't completely trust Kudo Shinichi's people, but it didn't mean he would joke about saving Renri, he had explained the situation to Saga well.

"The enemy is the Servant Ruler. The other party wears a priest's costume and has silver sky-high hair. He looks very friendly but is full of danger. When you deal with him, you must be careful with his weapons. Although you are not a magician, you can summon a Servant Or, it means that you have transformed part of your power into magic power, so you have to be extra careful not to be touched by this follower."

Astra's cautiousness was superfluous in Saga's view. Since they dared to fight the warriors of the Three Realms to the end, why would they be afraid of a mere undead from the past.

Yes, for Saga and the others, followers are nothing but the past, and it is human beings who focus on the future, not followers.

Have the minimum respect for the heroes of the past, but will not blindly worship them, let alone entrust everything to them. This is Saga's approach.

With the golden armor equipped on his body inch by inch, Saga changed the aura around him, comparing with Gao Wen who was wearing a windbreaker next to him, it was hard to tell who was the Master for a while.

It's not that he doesn't know the master's plan, but Gao Wen is really not happy to play this kind of disguise game. Personally, he is a knight, he should be a guardian, and he should be an existence standing in front of the master.

Not knowing that his servant was troubled by the so-called chivalry, Saga directly picked up the other's shoulder and walked into a different dimension.

Whether it is magic or other powers, at best it is just a power used for fighting.Then, as a strong man in the eyes of ordinary people, he naturally doesn't need to care about the eyes of the world, as long as he does what he should do.

Originally, he was not willing to participate in the affairs between human beings on the earth, but because of a word from the goddess, Saga had to give up his original persistence and joined this ridiculous war in his opinion.

"Even if you are no longer a saint, you can still use your own hands to protect this land and protect the people you have fought so far to protect."

Saving humanity does not conflict with protecting the world, that's why he became one of the seven masters.
