035 most suitable friend (Ch 035)

“correct.”

Ms. Avalon proudly explained, “This is a live broadcast.”

Shirou looked into the crystal ball.

There are two servants in the picture.

One of them was a man in black whose palm was pierced by a spear and his whole body was nailed to the ground.

The other rider was a golden shadow standing proudly on the roof of the Tousaka family’s western-style mansion.

The golden figure exudes a terrifying presence, even making the stars in the sky seem dim.

“The one lying on the ground should be Assassin, right? I heard that the skeleton mask is Assassin’s symbol.

He actually thought of assassinating the careless master of the Tohsaka family before the ceremony started… but unfortunately his whereabouts were exposed. ”

Ms. Avalon explained, and Shirou remained silent, just staring at the crystal ball.

“How many camps are there monitoring the surrounding area?”

“Well?”

Ms. Avalon was stunned by this question.

Shouldn’t we normally be concerned about the two servants in the picture? Who would care about who the audience is?

She answered honestly: “Besides us, there are three others.”

“Three families?”

Shirou didn’t think that Uryu Ryunosuke would send a familiar to monitor him.

This means that all the participants are present tonight except Ryunosuke Uryu.

“Have the Einzberns arrived in Japan?”

Ms. Avalon shrugged her shoulders and brought the topic back to where it had strayed.

“Isn’t Assassin’s Master too reckless? He actually wanted to assassinate the head of the Tousaka family directly!”

“That’s not reckless, that’s stupid,” Shirou gave a calm assessment.

“Is there any conflict with the Tohsaka family?” Ms. Avalon analyzed, pinching her delicate chin.

“……strangeness.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Sister Avalon, don’t you think Assassin’s presence is too weak?”

The Flower Magician was stunned and said, “No, even if you say so, if Assassin’s presence is too strong, it will be very troublesome. No matter how you infiltrate and assassinate…”

“That’s right, but I always feel like something is wrong with this Assassin.”

Shirou thought to himself: The principle of the Holy Grail War is to absorb the souls of defeated Servants to gain power.

The soul of each servant is enough to be comparable to the living sacrifice of tens of thousands of people, in order to achieve this effect, and even open up the root path.

But – isn’t this Assassin’s soul a little thin?

Ms. Avalon crawled over to the crystal ball on her hands and knees and stared at it for a moment.

Ah, this is…

“What do you see?”

The silver-haired female magician waved her hands quickly: “No, no!”

Shirou glanced at her and said, “…Humph.”

At this moment, the scene in the crystal ball changed——

The golden brilliance filled the entire night sky.

Countless and massive weapons appeared behind the golden servant, this time literally making the stars pale in comparison.

Shirou: “…… (Surprised)”

Ms. Avalon: “… (peek)”

The next moment, the swords, spears, and halberds behind the Golden Servant rained down on the Assassin on the ground!

“boom——!!!”

The light and power of the Big Bang could be felt even through a crystal ball.

In a flash, the black servants on the ground disappeared without a trace.

The first confrontations in the Holy Grail War were not battles, but one-sided massacres and executions.

“Master! Master!”

Ms. Avalon excitedly grabbed the boy’s arm and shook him left and right: “That golden Heroic Spirit is so strong. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the strongest in this Holy Grail War!”

“Ah, um…” Shirou responded absentmindedly.

“Did you notice? The dozens of Noble Phantasms he fired at that moment were actually, actually… all genuine!!!

It is not uncommon for a Servant to have multiple Noble Phantasms, but he actually has so many! This is an abnormal situation, this is really abnormal! ”

Ms. Avalon said in a clearly deliberate high tone.

“Considering your special magecraft, the two of you might become rivals!”

“Is that so… I guess so.”

I don’t think I’ve ever shown you a projection magic trick?

While Shirou was trying to deal with the emotional female magician, he kept his eyes fixed on the huge explosion hole in the crystal ball.

To be honest, apart from being slightly surprised at the beginning, he didn’t care much about the golden heroic spirit.

“That” is indeed very powerful, more powerful than one can imagine.

If “that” is the standard performance of a Servant, Shirou would like to go to the Fuyuki Church right now to give up his Master status and accept the protection of a Supervisor.

However–

“That” is just powerful.

They can neither be a strength to Shirou nor a hindrance to Shirou, they are essentially incompatible.

Shirou Amemiya would not touch the hot and dazzling things that he could not touch, nor would he linger on them for too long.

Seeing the attitude expressed by the red-haired boy, Ms. Avalon had a complicated look in her eyes.

Even if you search the entire history of mankind, you are probably the only one who would disregard the “Oldest Hero King”? She thought to herself.

Then.

In this one-sided war of devastation, the one who truly entered the sight of the “Mystic Eyes of the End” was——

“Assassin is not dead yet.”

The red-haired boy put on his coat and quickly got up and went out.

“He might be able to become our ally.”

…

…

While the invaders were being eliminated by the Golden Heroic Spirit, Tōsaka Tokiomi was leaning comfortably on the rocking chair in his room.

“Good… things are going well.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden Heroic Spirit who had killed Assassin instantly appeared in the room with an unhappy expression.

“You actually troubled me with such a trivial matter, Tokiomi.”

Tōsaka Tokiomi immediately stood up from his chair and bowed respectfully and gracefully.

“How dare you, Gilgamesh, the king of kings. What happened tonight was to make an example of him and avoid complications in the future.

After showing your overwhelming power, no more brainless people will dare to attack us. ”

Tōsaka Tokiomi explained in a tone that was as humble as possible but not too humble.

Although Gilgamesh hates arrogant people, he also hates flatterers.

Therefore, he was currently quite satisfied with Tokiomi’s attitude, and reluctantly forgave the offense tonight.

“My king…are you satisfied with the world as it is now?”

The Golden King was dismissive of Tokiomi’s question:

“It’s a meaningless question. No matter how unspeakably ugly the world becomes, all the land will eventually return to my garden, and all the treasures will return to my hands.”

“Then, the Holy Grail…”

“This king is not interested in things like the Holy Grail.”

Gilgamesh looked proud.

“The bastards started a dispute in the courtyard without permission, and I could have ignored it…but if they were targeting my treasure, that’s another matter.

Having said that, no matter how many sanctions are imposed on these rats, it is impossible to relieve the boredom.

Tokiomi, I hope that the strong men you mentioned can comfort me even a little bit, otherwise…

The sin of making this king go on a wasted trip is very serious, you know?”

After saying this, the golden Archer disappeared into the darkness.

“…”

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was bowing his head, was already sweating profusely.

Why did it have to be Archer…

Gilgamesh is a self-centered person by nature, and now he has obtained the class skill of “Act Alone”.

The oldest hero king just wandered around Fuyuki city in a leather jacket every day, and Tōsaka Tokiomi was completely unable to get in touch with him.

I don’t know where my Servant is and what he is doing, let alone expect him to listen to my advice.

If this continues, can the Tohsaka family really win?

The gentleman, who had previously been immersed in the sweet dream of certain victory, is now suddenly much more sober.

There is also the Servant who cannot be detected by the “Spiritual Device Disk”.

So many days have passed, and there is still no new information.

What abilities does that mysterious Servant possess?

Who is his Master?

Why don’t you come to Fuyuki Church to report your identity and receive an explanation?

No matter how powerful that Servant was, he and his Master became Tōsaka Tokiomi’s biggest thorns in the side.

Kirei must intensify Assassin’s search efforts and uncover their identities as soon as possible.
