Holy Church.

In the chapel, Rizei Kotomine took the detailed report sent by the staff of Holy Church and looked at it carefully, especially two of them——

"The chassis of the crane was confirmed to have decayed and broken under the erosion of seawater brought ashore by waves over many years. There are no traces of man-made damage. It was also found that the remaining steel materials around it had decayed to varying degrees due to seawater erosion."

"Due to the aging of the wiring of the searchlight, the wiring in the switch was short-circuited and connected together, and there is no trace of it being turned on manually."

Holding the same report as Rizei Kotomine, there is also the fault of this life in the basement of Tohsaka Residence - Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"Could it be that it was really just an accident?"

Tokiomi, who doesn't know how to curse because of his family's family motto, didn't have anything MMP wanted to say in his heart. He just felt that it was really fate.

An accident and the distraction mentioned by Kirie, his original plan was completely ruined!

At this time, Tokiomi still didn't know what his Servant and his apprentice were doing or talking about upstairs.

Watching the news reported on TV that several children were missing in the middle of the night last night and the residents of two families were massacred, although they did feel unbearable and angry, Shinji, who knew that he did not have the ability to single-handedly solve the problem and was not a saint, finally picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

Judging from the report sent by Zaid, after following Caster back last night, because there were many Assassins surrounding Caster's workshop and monitoring Caster, Zaid, who was worried about being exposed, did not get too close, but just watched from a distance.

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Ryunosuke and Caster went out together and committed crimes together. They had never been separated at all.

Although Caster was insane, he was also extremely cautious, which meant that Zaid had no chance to attack Master, Long Zhijie.

Not to mention that a group of Assassins are following him, and if he takes action, his existence may be exposed.

The only chance to ensure that he can solve Ryunosuke without being exposed is tonight!

Tonight is not only the night of revenge after being blown up by Kiritsugu, leaving only Volumen Hydrargyrum and Kayneth wearing a cheap white T-shirt, but it is also the night of Caster's date with Saber.

Regardless of whether Caster is cautious or not, whether Caster will take Ryunosuke with him to the battlefield, he will not miss this best opportunity.

(Note: In the original development of FZ, when Caster went to Einzbern Forest, Ryunosuke stood in the distance and looked at it from a distance.)

From a rhythm point of view, FZ's Fourth Holy Grail War rhythm is indeed much faster than FSN's Fifth Holy Grail War rhythm.

He clenched his fists and felt that his muscles were slightly stronger than ordinary people. For the first time, the idea that strength was also important flashed through Shinji's mind.

In order to play with System (Old Man), for ten years, although on the surface I was chasing power, in my heart, I just regarded power as an ordinary tool.

Before Fifth Holy Grail War started, I even thought that as long as the brain was good enough, strength was not a particularly important necessity.

Except for Shirou who was not strong enough at the beginning, almost everyone can kill themselves easily.

Even speaking, if Shirou uses Projection, he may not be able to win, after all, the opponent has full combat experience.

The reason why I was able to compete with Golden Flash at the end was because I could only compete for that moment. If I think about it differently, if Golden Flash didn't have that kind of character, even if I just throw in the trashiest Noble Phantasm in the treasure house, I would become a scumbag in a short time.

But even so, he used only a few cards to get to the end and got the result he originally envisioned.

This time Holy Grail War, if you don't pay attention to those tragedies, it will actually be the same. There is no possibility of failure for you.

"The mind can guarantee that it will not fail, so is strength a tool used to avoid too many tragedies?"

After figuring this out, Shinji also twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and a strange feeling or brief shock arose in his heart.

It's as if in reality, I suddenly came to the conclusion that some extremely cliché concepts like "the strong are respected" expressed in the novels I read in my previous life were not wrong... Such an extremely absurd conclusion.

This really makes people don't know whether to laugh or not. The clichéd side of this world is really hard to mention.

Of course, such thoughts are not generated because Shinji feels that he is responsible for their deaths.

Shinji will feel sorry for them because he is a highly educated person, but he will not feel that he needs to be responsible for their death, let alone feel any guilt.

The idea of "if the power is strong enough may prevent some tragedies from happening, and not be tied down and always afraid of being exposed" simply crossed my mind.

"System, do you think I'm a little too cold-blooded?"

"Host, comparative analysis shows that you have surpassed 99.9% of Magecraft masters in terms of human nature."

Shinji's eyes twitched, and he curled up his lips and complained, "Are you in need of cleaning up? Are you comparing a person like me with a bunch of things that are not human?"

Shinji, who ignored System, decided to go out for some fresh air and look for the front desk girl Hyatt Hotel, who even though she knew the news from her own mouth that she had a fiancée, she still asked her out to see if she was injured.

The work clothes are so awesome, don't change them! Little sister!

Shinji is actually a bit embarrassed. The temporary room we got after making an appointment with the girl is next door to Byakuya Matou.

I really didn't expect this development!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shinji, who had finished a few beautiful hours of friendly one-on-one interaction and simple discussions with the young lady, returned to the hotel after watching the young lady, whose legs were weak and trembling, get into the taxi and leave.

Shinji, who sneaked into Tsuruno's room invisibly, looked at Tsuruno, who was probably high yesterday, and who hadn't woken up yet, and was speechless for a while.

No matter which world this person is in, he is the kind of guy who doesn't have a strong endurance, but he happens to be such a guy in another world. Shinji doesn't hate him that much, but he regards him as his father in this life.

No matter what, Tsuruno in this world should be able to live the ordinary life he wants after that.

It's just so painful for Kariya. After Holy Grail War ends, I have to take the initiative to take on some things whether I want to or not.

Looking at Tsuruno who was still snickering from time to time in his sleep, Shinji also shook his head and then left.

At night, looking at the hour hand of the alarm clock on the wall that was about to point to the number ten, Shinji, who felt that the time was almost up, also received a call from Zaid at the right time.

Caster and Ryunosuke led a group of children towards Einzbern Castle!

Kirie is actually a little troubled, because originally Holy Church could secretly go out when he was protected by his father, but because he came to this nominal master's house, he suddenly had a lot more constraints.

I also couldn't suppress my urgent desire to see that man (Kiritsugu). After listening to Assassin's report and knowing that Master Caster and Lancer both went to Einzbern, I still couldn't suppress this urgent thought.

Even though I may have to face Magecraft Master of Kayneth level, I still can't suppress the desire in my heart to keep questioning...

Golden Flash, who had "enlightened" Kirie all afternoon, saw through this and let out a soft chuckle.

"What are you struggling with?"

Kirie frowned and said nothing.

"Go ahead, that Tokiomi guy won't say anything else. Besides, since you've become a Master who can move around freely, why do you still have to be controlled by that boring guy?"

"I volunteer to help the teacher..."

The lack of interest shown by Golden Flash made Kirie continue talking. Instead, he remained silent for a while, then turned around, opened the door to the room and walked out.

At this moment, Golden Flash also raised his eyes and looked at the door he had closed, with a little more interest in his eyes.

After hearing Kirie's request to go to the scene in person to keep an eye on Caster, Tokiomi's first reaction was no, but then he thought of the news that Kirie reported that Caster was dispatched together with his Master.

After thinking for a moment, Tokiomi also agreed to this request. After all, if Caster was solved by someone other than himself today, it would really be worse.

"Before my Archer takes action, try to ensure that Caster is not killed by anyone first. I know this task is very difficult, but the relationship between me and Archer is still a bit stiff at the moment, so I can only leave it to you, Kirie."

"I will try my best, teacher."

Kirie nodded in agreement, then turned and left the dark basement.

Looking at the reliable back of Kirie, Tokiomi also felt that it was a great blessing for him to have such a disciple. Even though the priest could no longer blatantly help him, as long as he had his disciple with him, little Lesser Grail would still be at his fingertips.

At this time, Tokiomi had not noticed that his disciple turned his back, with a look of longing on his face that he had never seen before.

To be honest, even in another world, Shinji has never stepped into this forest of Einzbern.

The only so-called insight is the time when the consciousness of Magecraft was transferred through Illya.

Of course, Shinji had no desire to go in and take a look. According to Zaid, Caster led the children in alone, while Ryunosuke seemed to be hidden on the outside.

While searching Ryunosuke, Shinji also discovered a very strange thing - Kirie was actually here!

After a brief moment of shock, Shinji figured out that he either sneaked out with his teacher in mind, or made up an excuse.

Looking at the back of Kirie sprinting for 100 meters without stopping, Shinji couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the opponent's obsession with Kiritsugu.

Even if you lose your freedom, you will try your best to come out to see someone, and even run as hard as you can to see him!

Doesn't this count as love?

Shinji, who had withdrawn his boring thoughts, immediately discovered Ryunosuke, who was hidden by Caster and was looking into the distance on tiptoes.

Shinji, knowing that there was no one paying attention to Ryunosuke around him, didn't waste much time talking, walked directly behind Ryunosuke and took off his invisibility hat.

"Do you want to know what the true meaning of death is? Ryunosuke-kun?"

After hearing the harmless voice from behind, Ryunosuke turned around without any precaution.

Before he could speak, Ryunosuke's eyes lost their original functions as a thin line passed through them, and then Ryunosuke felt as if he was flying.

"Sorry, I won't give you the chance to see it."

Ignoring the twitching headless corpse that fell with a plop and the head that rolled to the side, Shinji sheathed his sword and put on his invisibility hat and turned around.

This is the most appropriate way for Ryunosuke to die.
