"Although Kariya Matou did not obtain Command Spells, as a loser who escaped from Magecraft before, his purpose of returning to the Matou Family is..."
Golden Flash listened quietly to Kirie's report. Golden Flash knew that it would not be long before this person would realize what his true desire was.
It was dawn, about four o'clock.
In an abandoned factory in the western suburbs, Lancer didn't know how to face his master - Kayneth, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and fell asleep.
Command Spells is no longer in the hands of his master, but was handed over by his master to his fiancée.
Although the one who summoned him was Sola, and the one who provided the same magic power was still Sola, in his heart, his master was only Kayneth!
When he thought of the look in Sola's eyes when he looked directly at him just now, Lancer didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Once, he also looked at a woman who was crying to him in such a cold wind.
All Diarmuid wants is to regain the glory of the past and complete the unfinished mission.
He wants to fulfill the loyalty he failed to fulfill in his previous life in the name of a knight!
This time, we must walk the road of loyalty to the end and offer victory and faith with both hands.
So for the lancer, he doesn't need Holy Grail at all. While standing on the battlefield named Fuyuki with his master, half of his wish has been fulfilled.
The remaining half is to win. When he brought Holy Grail back to his master, it was when he showed the fruits of his loyalty and he was satisfied.
It was originally like this, and he shouldn't have had other extravagant hopes.
But the front of Diarmuid was shrouded in ominous dark clouds, and his appearance planted seeds of distrust in the heart of his new master, Kayneth.
If Sola could notice that she was just confused by his magical appearance, she could avoid the situation from getting worse.
But what if she is willing to become the second Geronia? At this time, can I reject her outright?
Lancer didn't know, his heart was in a mess, and he didn't know how to calm down his mind. Maybe there was one, but he was ignoring it at the moment.
That person, who was full of righteousness and pursued truth and justice as an ordinary person, was an ordinary person or friend he met in this era. The night of Fuyuki with him to track down the truth, punish evil and promote good was the happiest day since he came to this world.
There is also King of Knights, who has excellent quality and has fought against me once and collaborated with her tonight. Maybe the knight showdown with her can also be...
Only these two people may be able to heal the mess of thoughts in their hearts at this time.
After feeling that someone seemed to have broken into the barrier set by Kayneth and got trapped in the maze, Lancer was the first to rush over.
"What's wrong? Lancer?" Sola asked.
"It seems that an ordinary person accidentally broke into the barrier and fell into the maze set by the Lord."
When he discovered that the intruder turned out to be Mr. Miyoshi, whom he had not seen for two days, Lancer immediately understood the reason why the other party appeared here at this time.
Lancer, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Shinji who was holding a flashlight and a map marked with several locations, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the other party's pursuit of truth and justice.
Seeing the opponent getting deeper and deeper into the maze, the lancer, who knew there would be a trap not far ahead, also appeared behind Shinji.
"Lord Miyasato..."
"Scared!" Shinji, who was startled, turned around and saw the lancer in casual clothes with a lingering fear on his face. "I was scared to death. It turned out to be Officer Lan. Could it be that he is also looking for the murderer?"
"Yeah." Lancer was not good at lying, so he just responded silently.
"If you are here, it means you have already searched this place, right?"
As he said that, Shinji showed a bit of regret and opened the map in his hand. He reluctantly crossed out the mark representing this location with the marker he carried with him.
Looking at the places on the map that were marked one by one by the young man in front of him but then crossed out one after another, Lancer was also moved by the other party's perseverance.
If I didn't need to be here to guard against possible attacks, I really want to work with the acquaintances in front of me to track down the so-called truth and implement justice.
"Lancer, who is it?"
I have to say that Sola was really precise in finding the timing for insertion.
Looking at Sola appearing behind him, Lancer didn't know how to speak or how to introduce the woman behind him.
"Hey, are you really here to investigate the kidnapping case, Mr. Police?"
Listening to Shinji's teasing, Lancer was extremely helpless, but he couldn't explain it.
And Sola guessed what it was the first time he saw Shinji. After realizing that now was a good opportunity, he stepped forward and spoke openly.
"We are just partners in investigating the case."
Shinji showed a bit of surprise and said, "Really or not? Such a beautiful lady? Hey, I think you are too happy, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lancer shook his head and smiled in embarrassment, while Sola admired the handsome young man in front of him very much.
Good-looking young men generally speak very nicely, just like Lancer, the magnetic voice when speaking always makes me want to stop and want to lie on the other person's chest and moan.
Realizing that the love in Sola's eyes was about to burst out, lancer quickly changed the topic and asked Shinji: "Lord Miyasato, have you found any clues?"
"Well, based on the different places where the children were abducted, we finally got a few more likely lairs of the other party. This is one of them. There are a few other places I will investigate later."
"You might be in danger if you go alone."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not a fool who will rush in directly. I won't be exposed easily until I find out clearly."
But the other party is Master Magecraft! Lancer wanted to remind him loudly, but he couldn't say it because of the confidentiality policy, so he had to give up.
"Okay, time is running out, and we don't rule out the possibility that the other party will find something wrong and leave Fuyuki, so goodbye, Officer Lan."
Looking at Shinji who lowered the brim of his hat, turned around and left in a hurry, Lancer had a trace of worry in his eyes. If he could, he would really...
Sola, who was keenly aware of the strange emotions in lancer's eyes, also spoke very considerately, "Follow me, lancer."
"But..."
"Didn't you say that there is no scent of Caster nearby, and no one was following you on the way back? So isn't it safe for the time being? And Caster happens to be our target. If we can follow that smart detective to find Caster's lair, we will have a few more chances than other masters and servants."
Looking at the considerate Sola, Lancer felt more and more that the woman in front of him was similar to the Geronia in his memory.
no! Lancer quickly stopped this ridiculous thought, absolutely not! Never think about it again!
For knights, the same mistake must not be made twice! We must not let this kind of understanding become the clothes of understanding!
Looking at the chasing lancer, Shinji couldn't help but complain in his heart: Brother, your master is like that, how can you still come out and investigate the case slowly with me? You have such a big heart!
However, knowing that there would be no danger at Kayneth's place tonight, Shinji still agreed to accompany Lancer.
When morning came, the two arrived at the first base that caster had chosen before - Twin Mansion in Shinto.
That's right, the first location chosen by the other party was really just one of the Twin Mansions that he was familiar with. Shinji was also very depressed about this result.
I really didn't expect this deep mountain and old forest.
Sensing that this abandoned bungalow in the deep mountains and old forests still had the atmosphere of Magecraft, Lancer couldn't help but be amazed by Shinji's reasoning and analysis abilities.
Judging from the remaining aura of Magecraft, caster should have used this place as his base not long ago. There is no mistake!
Angry, when he saw the scene in the house for the first time, Lancer couldn't help but be angry.
The mutilated limbs of the children were deliberately and "carefully" arranged into various shapes. Here, the other party brutally murdered seven children!
And not only were they killed in one blow, each child was tortured for a long time before death!
Frowning, Shinji squatted down and began to examine the corpse. "The time of death was not long. According to the current temperature and the degree of decomposition of the corpse, it was only about three days. We... were late..."
Looking at Shinji who showed a bit of unbearable expression, Lancer didn't say much. He could only vent his anger by killing that evil heretic Caster with his own hands!
"But the good news is that we finally caught each other's tail. If we continue to investigate, we can find him. We have to find him before more people are harmed!"
Listening to Shinji's sincere words, Lancer also nodded heavily.
"I'll call the police first..." Shinji just spoke but then thought of something and shook his head helplessly, "What nonsense am I talking about? Aren't you the police? I'll leave this to you."
Lancer also felt that the tragedy caused by Holy Grail War needed to be dealt with by the person responsible for Holy Grail War, so he readily agreed.
Because it was already dawn, Lancer, who felt that Caster would never commit a crime during the day no matter what he said, said goodbye to Shinji and quickly returned to his Master hiding place and informed Sola of the matter and asked Sola to operate it.
Near noon, I quickly returned to look for Shinji.
In the afternoon, after receiving the information from Zaid that Caster went out alone, Shinji immediately took Lancer, who had to follow him for some reason, to the location of Caster's real workshop - the abandoned factory where Ryunosuke first committed the crime.
"The other party is more cunning than we thought."
In front of the abandoned factory, Shinji showed a bit of sadness. Just as he was about to step in, he was stopped by the Lancer.
"No, Mr. Miyoshi." Lancer accurately sensed that this factory was Caster's position at the moment, and also knew that even if Caster was not there, it would be extremely dangerous for ordinary people to break in!
"Danger? Don't worry, I will be more careful, and aren't you the policeman here?"
"Mr. Miyoshi, you really can't go in." Lancer shook his head with a serious expression.
"Do you know? Officer Lan? As a detective, even if the truth is accompanied by death, you will not be afraid at all." Shinji said, clenching his fists and showing a bit of unbearability, "That strange True Magic formation, the murderer's increasingly brazen methods of committing crimes, the truth may be inside! I will not back down!"
Looking at the unafraid Shinji in front of him, his eyes full of pursuit of the truth and persistence for justice, Lancer knew that unless he knocked out Shinji at this moment, there was absolutely no chance of stopping him!
And even if you knock the other party unconscious, the other party will still continue to search for the truth after waking up! He will not stop exploring until the truth is discovered with his own hands!
This is the essence of the young man I know!
Lancer weighed it in his mind and finally made his choice.
"Lord Miyasato, follow me. I can tell you some things I know, but... you must keep these things in your heart and don't tell anyone."
Looking at the lancer who turned around and changed his equipment and summoned two guns at the same time, Shinji also knew that the favorability level had reached the expected effect, and then nodded and followed.
"I see, it sounds incredible, but I didn't expect it to be like this..." Shinji, who was following the lancer, sighed, with a bitter smile on his lips, "Magecraft, Master Magecraft, and Holy Grail War who are far away from humanity... Is this the truth I am looking for?"
"Lord Miyasato, these things must be buried in your heart! You cannot tell anyone, otherwise you will be killed!"
As he said that, he seemed to have discovered something similar to a barrier node, and the Lancer threw the spear in his hand vigorously without thinking!
As the nodes of the barrier were destroyed, the entire barrier was also opened, leaving only the not too many octopuses left by Caster.
------Digression-----
Well... another chapter in the morning.
By the way, why do I feel like I can code faster at work than at home?
