It's almost evening, the sky is burning red with the setting sun, and the streets of Sigishirava have gradually become quiet.

This is not a busy city to begin with. As an attraction, its selling point is that it retains the medieval style. The people here have always kept the habit of sleeping at sunrise and sunset. In addition, there have been a lot of rumors about serial murders recently, so no one dares to go out after sunset.

On the deserted street, Mordred was sitting on a street bench, holding a paper bag in his hand and constantly putting the contents of the paper bag into his mouth.

Those were handmade snacks taken from Shirou. She took half a day's worth of them by herself, and then ate them in half an hour.

It is true that eating is Artoria's family's traditional hobby, but the way Mordred eats now seems to be venting his anger.

"It seems like you're not in a good mood!" Mordred Master Kairi Shishigou walked over from the opposite side of Mordred and couldn't help but said when he saw his Servant posture.

"I can't help it. I thought I could go sightseeing, but it turns out that there is nothing in this ghost town, whether it's skyscrapers or amusement parks or Ferris wheels!" Mordred was annoyed and poured the paper bag and food into his mouth. "Has it really been more than a thousand years since my time?"

"Well, it's more than 1,400 years ago," Kairi Shishigou said. "If you want to go sightseeing, it shouldn't be here. The special feature here is that it retains the medieval street scenery."

Kairi Shishigou explained to Mordred, but found that the bag in the other person's hand was empty.

"Come on, you are really good at eating!"

"Eating is my hobby. After all, I finally got a body now," Mordred said, squeezing the paper bag in his hands. "But a hobby is just a hobby. I can't do it without making a scene!"

"Be happy, Saber," Lion Jie Jieli sat down next to Mordred, "The information given by Black's Berserker has been initially confirmed."

"How to say?"

"Morg found the corpses, and there were many of them with guns or Magecraft, but all of them were dismembered and their hearts were taken out. It's really terrible."

"It's true, if it's true that it's Jack the Ripper, it's indeed reasonable, but why is she ripping out the heart?"

"For Servant, it is the location of Spirit Core. For humans, it is the source of life. Eating the heart is probably to replenish magic power."

"Eating... that's really disgusting!" Mordred leaned back and put his arms on the back of the chair. "Anyway, it's almost certain that it's Servant! Although it's just Assassin, since Black Faction's Berserker can guess it, then Black Faction's side will probably send someone over, I'll look forward to it!"

"In short, we need to lure out Black Assassin first. According to reports, Black Assassin was only attacking gangsters and delinquents at first, but after the Magic Association took action..." Lion Jie Jieli stood up and straightened his clothes, "He only attacked magicians."

"Oh?" After hearing what Kairi Shishigou said, Mordred answered tacitly, "Then the only Magecraft division in this town will be targeted!"

"That's it! Simply because of the serial killings, there are not many unlucky people in the town who go out." Kairi Shishigou relied on his sunglasses and stepped forward against the setting sun. "Put on your armor, Saber. No unrelated people will appear on the streets tonight. In other words, as long as you see them, they are probably enemies."

"Oh, I understand, Master!"

Thousandth Tree, Château de Domrémy.

Sitting in front of the computer desk, Caules pushed the computer desk and slid away from it, then stood up and said to Shirou, who was sitting on his bed and concentrating on rubbing the handle of the game console:

"Hey, Berserker. Are you ready to go out... Berserker?"

After Shirou completed the operation, he threw the handle aside. "Clear the level!"

Caules's mouth twitched. Although he Servant can fight and is reliable, Caules decided to be sure that Shirou is definitely not a serious person.

How can a serious person be so proficient at playing games? From the perspective of Caules, a senior otaku, he can tell at a glance that Shirou is definitely something he has learned through practice.

"You kid, don't look at me like that. You said you were going out. What happened?" Shirou stood up and stretched, and glanced at Caules from the corner of his eye.

"Nothing, just helping my sister." Caules replied, "In Sigishirava, all the Mage's Association and Magecraft divisions were killed one by one. There is no reason for the Mage's Association people to take action against their own people, but if it is neither our side nor the Mage's Association people, then it is a third party."

"Have you analyzed it? As expected of you, Caules." Shirou praised Caules, and then said, "Then let me give you another piece of news. Clock Tower has confirmed that this matter was done by Servant, and except for Saber and Berserker, all Red Faction and Servant are by the side of a priest."

"You mean -" Caules's pupils narrowed slightly. Although the source of Shirou's words was somewhat uncertain, Shirou had no reason to lie to him, that is to say -

"That's right, the third party you call is Servant, which is also Black Faction Assassin," Shirou raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "And Red Faction Saber and her Master are also here. Your sister is not so stable this time!"

"Saber on the red side..."

"I don't think about it anymore, kid," Shirou grabbed Caules's arm and pulled him out of the house, "Let's live together, your sister can't deal with Kairi Shishigou!"

"Well... I don't believe you, but how did you know about Kairi Shishigou?" Caules asked hesitantly. In his opinion, rashly saying "how did you know" was simply a sign of distrust.

"Do you think I'm just cooking all day?" Shirou rolled his eyes at Caules, "Kairi Shishigou is very similar to our Magecraft master in fighting style. Boy, let me ask you, have you ever heard of Mage Killer?"

"!!!"

"I should know from your expression," Shirou picked up Caules and jumped out of the window closest to him. Hierro's ability is Flying in his mouth, "It is almost impossible for an ordinary Magecraft division to defeat an opponent like Kairi Shishigou, let alone your sister. I'm afraid your sister doesn't even have the confidence to risk her life and take someone's head."

"She is too gentle, which is not something that a Magecraft master should have. But she is also a candidate for the Yugdomirenia clan leader, and you are her younger brother. Just like this time, take good care of her when necessary, if you don't want to lose her."

"Of course I know." After hearing Shirou's words, Caules raised his head confidently, "The sun is about to set, Berserker, hurry up!"

"As you wish!"

Then there was a period of misery like killing a pig.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"
