Eleven o’clock at night.

“I didn’t expect that Sister Assassin would be willing to be my companion. That’s great.”

Shirou said as he sipped his hot cocoa.

Loli Hassan sat next to him, concentrating on watching the magical girl anime broadcast late at night.

As for Hassan the Hundred Faces, her back was pressed against the wall, and she still exuded an aura of resistance and hostility.

“Don’t make a mistake. The only ones willing to be your companions are me and that child. No other me will accept you.”

Unlike the previous Eighteenth Generation Mountain Elder, Hassan of the Hundred Faces did not perform any physical transformation on himself, or it could be said that there was no need for that.

Her Noble Phantasm, Zabaniya—

That is the ability that is ultimately formed by dividing one’s own soul into countless parts.

Each soul has independent thoughts and personality, and there are eighty-eight souls in total.

With this ability, Hassan the Hundred Faces used the knowledge and abilities of eighty-eight people to deceive his enemies with various means, break through the protection network, and hunt down his targets in ways that no one could have imagined.

Since there is no mechanism in which the higher-level “main body” produces the lower-level “avatar”, each of Hassan’s faces is of the same level.

If a separated individual dies, it will not be restored to the whole Assassin, but will be directly destroyed.

This also means that among the eighty-eight Hassans, no one is the absolute ruler.

Including the purple-haired lady in front of him, she only took on the role of collective leader based on her ability and personality.

She couldn’t fully control the other eighty or so “I’s”, so she said: Only she and that child were willing to cooperate with Shirou.

On the other hand, since each individual cannot directly communicate mentally or exchange information, the Hassans scattered throughout Fuyuki at this moment did not know that she was talking to the enemy’s Master.

After listening to the explanation, Shirou thought for a moment: “That’s what’s called multiple personality disorder…”

“What?”

Seeing Hassan the Hundred Faces’ confused expression, Shirou explained what multiple personalities are.

“Really? This is a disease…” said Hassan the Hundred Faces in amazement.

The mystery that had troubled her for so long was solved, and she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

“No, the term disease varies from person to person, and I don’t think it’s a disease.

On the contrary, Assassin-sama possesses a mental strength far beyond that of an ordinary person.”

Hassan the Hundred Faces did not comment on Shirou’s compliment and turned to look at the loli Hassan in the room.

“Who is this child?” Shirou asked.

Hassan the Hundred Faces explained: “She is the ‘I’ who was born to deal with torture… a weak and ignorant personality.”

“I see, if you don’t know anything, you don’t have to worry about leaking information when you’re caught by the enemy.

And with the appearance of a little girl… this is really a bad taste.”

“Zabaniya” is a Noble Phantasm that sublimates the life of Hassan the Hundred Faces.

When she was alive, she did not have the power to create clones, but was just an excellent assassin with countless personalities.

So if you can switch yourself to a clueless personality when you are captured by the enemy, it would be very useful indeed.

However, after becoming a Servant, Hassan the Hundred Faces became able to separate into different entities freely, and Loli Hassan completely lost his meaning.

She didn’t know how to do anything. She tried to hide her tracks, but she couldn’t even take care of herself, so she became a burden to the team.

Shirou nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t let her get into any danger.”

It doesn’t matter what, Hassan snorted.

The reason why she accepted Shirou’s invitation was, on the one hand, she was really unwilling to accept the status quo, and on the other hand, it was also because of Loli Hassan’s attitude——

When Baimao entered the house, Shirou asked, “Is Mr. Assassin back?”

The torture-type loli who should have kept silent easily admitted it.

Even though they had only been together for a few hours, it was obvious that Shirou had gained Loli Hassan’s trust.

“Well, then, what’s next…”

Shirou turned to Hassan the Hundred Faces and said, “Please tell me all the information you know, Sister Assassin.

What kind of person is your Master Kotomine Kirei?

What kind of relationship does he have with Tohsaka Tokiomi? ”

The red-haired boy paused.

“If I’m not mistaken, the Fuyuki Church is also in cahoots with you, right?”

At this point, no matter how shocking Shirou’s words are, Hassan the Hundred Faces will not be surprised.

…

…

Hassan the Hundred Faces revealed all the inside stories about Toosaka.

Kotomine Kirei and Tōsaka Tokiomi only parted ways on the surface.

Kotomine Kirei and his father Risei had already become members of the Tōsaka camp three years ago.

“This is too shameless! Tōsaka Tokiomi looks like a gentleman, but I didn’t expect he is so unsportsmanlike in private!” Shirou was indignant.

Hassan the Hundred Faces said: “Not only does the Tousaka family control the best spiritual land in Fuyuki, but even the supervisor who is supposed to be neutral is his man.

Of course, my Master is just his puppet.”

Hassan the Hundred Faces knew very well that for the Tōsaka camp, she and Kotomine Kirei were just pawns.

No matter what, Assassin can’t be the final winner.

Is Zayed’s sacrifice not in vain and can it bring about longer-term benefits?

That’s right, but what he got in return was the interests of Tōsaka Tokiomi, not Assassin!

The person who made Hassan of a Hundred Faces realize the truth and finally understand it was Shirou Amemiya.

At the same time, she also completely understood that her Master was a mediocre person who had no desire for the Holy Grail and just went with the flow.

“How is Kotomine Kirei?” Shirou asked.

Hassan the Hundred Faces expressed his thoughts honestly: “They may be very capable, but they lack passion and are just like the walking dead. The ones who deserve attention in this Holy Grail War are indeed Tōsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Risei.”

She then explained the situation of the other Masters and Servants to Shirou, and told him everything she had investigated over the past few days.

For example, Lancer’s Master.

One of the Twelve Lords of the Clock Tower, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, came to Japan with his fiancée to participate in the Holy Grail War.

The female assassin sighed and said self-deprecatingly, “Now you should understand how powerful the enemies you are fighting are.”

The Twelve Monarchs…are they very powerful?

Shirou had no idea what was going on, since Makiri hadn’t had time to lecture him yet, so he could only nod in agreement, “Well, luckily I got Sister Assassin.”

“…………”

Hassan’s cheeks under the mask of the Hundred Faces felt slightly hot. “So much for the compliments.”

“It’s not a compliment, I really mean it.” Shirou said with a serious expression.

“…That’s enough.”

Hassan the Hundred Faces brushed his long hair with his hand, turned around and continued, “But the biggest enemy is still Toosaka.

It would be fine if Tōsaka Tokiomi was just cheating on the rules.

More importantly, they also have Archer——the Golden Heroic Spirit who appeared tonight.”

“My real name is Hero King Gilgamesh, the demigod king who once ruled over Mesopotamia in the Age of Gods.

He was a hero who accomplished many great deeds and achievements, but he was also a tyrant who brought destruction to the country because of his willfulness.

It is said that he collected all the treasures on earth during his lifetime, and his treasury contained all the weapons and treasures created by mankind, which became the original treasures used by heroes in later generations. ”

When she said this, the woman clenched her trembling fists.

“When Zaid was killed, I was at the scene and monitored the situation closely.

That Archer, one can understand it with just one look…

That guy is invincible. There is no heroic spirit in this world that can defeat him.

In this Holy Grail War, he appeared in the world as an Archer, and can use an endless number of Noble Phantasms to fight. No Servant can compare to him.

Unfortunately, as that guy said, we are just cheap bastards in front of him.”

“That person’s name is the Hero King Gilgamesh, a tyrant who possesses infinite treasures and the eye that can see into the future…”

Shirou’s mind flashed with the proud figure of the golden archer, and he said with deep approval:

“Well, that is indeed unusual. There is absolutely no Heroic Spirit that can defeat him. It is not surprising even if he can fight against the other six Heroic Spirits alone.

But don’t worry, I will take responsibility and get him out.”
