043 Shirou: How are you so familiar? (Ch 043)

Machili sneered with satisfaction: “Yes, your guess is correct.

The Master of Einzbern is most likely the Lesser Holy Grail of this Holy Grail War.”

“The Small Holy Grail?”

“The so-called Lesser Holy Grail is the key and stabilizing device used to open the Greater Holy Grail.

Little boy, you should have seen it with your own eyes, right?

The Master of Einzbern should be a “container.”

“Um.”

That being said, Shirou did see that the silver-haired android’s body was an empty shell.

The skill of “Mystic Eye of the End” is to see the essence of things through the surface.

Therefore, Shirou’s eyes could not strip Irisviel naked and see the number of Command Seals covering every inch of her skin.

Nor can one see the body beneath the skin, which can be called the crystallization of infinite magic circuits.

It is incomprehensible that she is a “weapon” that the Einzbern transformed in order to win the Holy Grail War.

But he could see that Irisviel’s original intention (design concept) for manufacturing was actually a “container”.

But what does that have to do with the Holy Grail?

Machiri further explains the deeper workings of the Holy Grail.

The so-called Lesser Holy Grail is a “container” prepared by the Einzbern family to absorb the souls of defeated Servants.

If the Holy Grail is to descend, both the Greater Holy Grail and the Lesser Holy Grail, located beneath Mount Yuanzang, are indispensable.

Until the last Holy Grail War, the Lesser Holy Grail was literally a cup.

However, during the Third Holy Grail War, the Lesser Holy Grail was destroyed and the ritual was discontinued.

Machiri therefore speculated that the Einzberns would create a new container that could manage itself this time.

That is to construct the Holy Grail using the human body.

In this way, they can take the initiative and hold the key to the Holy Grail in their own hands.

So that’s what it is. I don’t understand at all.

Shirou then asked, “What if the Lesser Holy Grail dies?”

The little yellow duck said: “It doesn’t matter if you die, as long as you still maintain your human form, you can continue to serve as a container.

But if the Einzbern puppets lose their self-awareness, the ritual will become troublesome.

All forces will prioritize targeting the camp that has obtained the Lesser Holy Grail.”

Shirou nodded and said thoughtfully: “I see, then if it breaks…

I mean, what if the basic shape of the “container” is damaged to the point where it can no longer be preserved?”

“…………”

Machiri: What do you want to do, kid?

“Then we’ll have to make a new Holy Grail.

It’s very simple, just cut out the heart (core) of the Holy Grail and stuff it into another human body.

There is no doubt that Einzbern’s technology is compatible even with human flesh.

There aren’t many requirements for magic performance, even someone like Shinji who has no magic talent at all can do it… Kukuku.”

Why do you have to use your own grandson as an example?

Shirou looked at the scenery receding outside the bus and fell into deep thought.

Einzbern, androids, the Lesser Holy Grail… He digested the knowledge he had gained today.

“Come to think of it, the Master of Einzbern has an incredibly strong underworld bodyguard by his side.”

Shirou thought of the boy in the black suit next to Irisviel.

“It’s rare for you to say that someone is very strong… Is he her Servant?”

“No, although I haven’t seen many Servants, the impression he gives me is not like a Servant (spirit), but more like a living human being.”

“I’m not sure about that. Well… considering that it’s that Einzbern, he must have been hired as a mercenary from somewhere.”

“I see.”

The strange thing is that the back of the blond boy is still in Shirou’s mind. He always feels that he is somewhere…

Final question.

“Machiri, are all the women of Einzbern nymphomaniacs? Are they all like that?”

“…………”

The little yellow duck started to curse angrily for some reason.

…

…

“Master, welcome home~ Welcome home~ Take a shower first? Eat first? Or eat me first…♡”

“Nothing happened while I was away, did it?”

“Uh-huh, no. Stop standing at the door. Come on in.”

“Is this your home or mine?”

Shirou sighed and walked into the entrance.

Not long after, Fujimura Taiga also came back from school.

Shirou hurriedly prepared dinner.

I asked Sister Fuji to have dinner with me, and she dragged me to take a bath with her. Then I finally regained my freedom and returned to my room.

As soon as he entered the room, Shirou saw Ms. Avalon sitting and drinking tea while staring at the crystal ball.

“Hey… that’s Arthur over here, wow, so cute…”

“What are you looking at?” Shirou asked curiously.

From time to time, the crystal ball emits dazzling strobe-like light.

Ms. Avalon looked back and said, “Ah, Master, you’re just in time. Saber and Lancer are fighting.”

“?”

Shirou was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and pushed her away.

“You didn’t call me for such an important matter!?”

Ms. Avalon said as a matter of course:

“Hmm? Isn’t Master enjoying taking a bath with a cute high school girl?

I just don’t think it’s nice to bother you.”

“I’m not enjoying it!”

The red-haired boy retorted while looking into the crystal ball.

When his eyes fell on the blonde girl in the picture, Shirou’s expression froze.

“…………Huh?” 1

…

…

Xindu, Warehouse Street at the dock.

This place has been transformed into a mythical battlefield.

The duel between the two knights in armor – Saber and Lancer – reached a fever pitch.

The invisible sword and the sealed spear, every collision produced dazzling sparks and hot aftermath.

The deserted streets at night seemed to be shrouded in a raging storm. The huge amount of magic power that surged out of the two people’s bodies blew away the nearby parked vehicles and shattered the surrounding paved ground.

The unstoppable sword soldiers and the versatile spear soldiers.

Their speed exceeds the limit of the naked eye. Even if someone uses a high-speed camera to shoot them, it can only leave endless afterimages on the CCD.

This is the Holy Grail War, the battle between Servants—

Not far away, Irisviel, who witnessed this mythical battle with her own eyes, was trembling with excitement.

The two sides have been fighting with swords and halberds for more than twenty rounds.

From the initial evenly matched situation to now, the balance is beginning to be broken rapidly.

Saber, who is petite, and Lancer, who is at least 20 centimeters taller than her, look like the physical difference between an adult and a child.

However, Saber completely suppressed Lancer on the field.

She confidently launched a fierce attack on the Spear Knight, forcing the handsome man back continuously. Even though her opponent had two strange weapons, one long and one short, she was completely unable to defend herself.

The reason was not due to martial arts, but a simple and clear power gap.

「Magic power released」

A warrior with this skill can easily overwhelm any enemy in strength regardless of their size.

She also possesses overwhelming magical power that surpasses all other Heroic Spirits—

The red dragon heart buried in the girl’s chest can continuously generate tremendous magic power with every breath, which can be said to be an endless magic furnace.

In addition, if we only talk about the magic supply performance, it can be said that she is the strongest in history, and her master and servant compatibility is also the best.

As a result, in terms of hand-to-hand combat, there is no Heroic Spirit that can suppress Saber.
