You've Gotten Fat! / An Unknown Master
"He's not in Japan???"
Ryougi Shiki looked slightly embarrassed, because judging from her Magic Crest, Mikaela was not in Japan, but had gone abroad to Romania.
"Hmm..." Asagami Fujino also looked troubled, because the money for flying abroad was easy to come by, but the passport required for going abroad was a bit difficult to obtain.
"What should we do?" Ryougi Shiki was clearly at a loss as well. If they were in Japan, she could simply grab her weapon, rush over to Mikaela, and have a real battle with her!
But the other party is not in Japan at all, but abroad. What should I do?
The two women are not particularly old, and it is obvious that they need the consent of their 'family' to apply for passports on their own, and passports cannot be processed in a short period of time.
Judging from Mikaela's tone, he won't be staying there for very long. Once his passport is issued, he'll probably be somewhere else again.
They can't use Aozaki Touko's Magic Crest every day, since tracking-type Magic Crest will break if used too many times.
"I heard! You two want to go abroad?!" At this moment, Kiritou Kohana appeared, revealing a malicious smile, and said in a very leisurely tone, "I recently studied 'Suggestion Magic' a little bit. Although I'm not particularly strong, it's more than enough to get a passport."
"Huh?!" X2.
Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino looked at Kiritou Kohana. Having spent so much time together, they knew that Kiritou Kohana wasn't a kind person.
She must have her own reasons for doing this.
"Hehehe, just let me be alone with my dear brother~" Kiritou Kohana said cutely under their gazes, "That's all I ask for. You two are going abroad to play, so I can only reluctantly play games with my brother~"
"..." Ryougi Shiki frowned, clearly displeased with Kiritou Kohana's attitude.
However, in order to fight Mikaela, she suppressed her displeasure and coldly asked, "How long will it take to finish?"
"Hehe! It'll be done in no time! People do this every day. With my skills, it'll be a piece of cake. After all, there are plenty of people who use connections." Kiritou Kohana smiled, not thinking that using connections was anything shameful.
"Thank you for your help." Asagami Fujino smiled gently, genuinely feeling that Kiritou Kohana was helping them.
"Well, well, well~ no problem~~" Kiritou Kohana waved her hand. Although she didn't know what Asagami Fujino and Ryougi Shiki wanted to do abroad, she hoped that the two of them would stay as far away from her brother as possible.
Although they are both good friends, it's important to distinguish between them.
She didn't want her best friend to become her sister-in-law!
"Then it's up to you. We'll pay for it." Asagami Fujino said in a very gentle tone. She wasn't particularly short of money, and she could afford to travel abroad.
"..." Ryougi Shiki did not answer. She was already quite poor, but it didn't matter! After tonight, her wallet should become 'bulging'.
There seem to be more petty thugs lately, so I need to teach them a lesson.
After Asagami Fujino and Ryougi Shiki's situation was confirmed, Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel also prepared some luggage and were ready to depart the next day.
"I'm terrified." Emiya Kiritsugu, puffing on his cigarette, confessed to his family. He sighed deeply, looking at Irisviel, and said, "I'm terrified we'll fail, Illya will..."
Irisviel gently hugged Emiya Kiritsugu. She didn't speak, but she understood what Emiya Kiritsugu was thinking at that moment.
They thought the Fourth Holy Grail War would be the final battle, but unexpectedly, due to Illya's physical condition, this Magus Killer who was preparing to retire ended up on the battlefield once again.
"Crunch."
The door opened, and a child's voice rang out from downstairs.
"Dad! Mom! Where are you?! Aunt Jiuyu and I are back from the amusement park!!"
Upon hearing Illya's voice, Emiya Kiritsugu reflexively stubbed out his cigarette, quickly threw it into the trash can, rubbed his face with his hands, and walked downstairs with a very happy expression.
Irisviel, standing nearby, also put away her sorrowful expression and, like Emiya Kiritsugu, put on a happy one, ready to please her daughter.
Everything is for this child.
No matter what sacrifices they have to make, this is the one child they don't want to die before she turns eighteen; she must grow up happily.
After talking with Illya, Emiya Kiritsugu Irisviel anime Illya.
Emiya Kiritsugu and Maiya Hisau both went outside at the same time.
"Thank you for your hard work today, Maiya." Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Maiya Hisau and sighed slightly. "If possible, I would also like to accompany Illya to the amusement park."
"Hmm...you'll have your chance in the future." Maiya Hisau nodded slightly, then said calmly, "A Magecraft who called himself Saber called today. I feel it's no longer safe here, and I need to move."
"Huh?" Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Maiya Hisau, then seemed to remember something and chuckled, "That's Saber herself. He called because I probably gave you my old phone."
"It's me? Can you be sure?" Maiya Hisau seemed somewhat skeptical.
After all, if it really is Saber herself, why hasn't she contacted us or the others for three years?
"It's certain." Emiya Kiritsugu said with a wry smile, "Only he could so brazenly talk about Replenish Magic for more than ten hours."
"...I understand." Maiya Hisau's expression was also a little strange, after all, besides the three of them, the only other person who knew about this was Mikaela.
Chapter 152 You've gotten fat!
The next morning, Mikaela washed her face, ate at a random restaurant, and then waited quietly in the hotel. During this time, she noticed that her phone was constantly receiving text messages.
However, Mikaela ignored it because... a blind person can't read text messages. Mikaela's magical perception wasn't refined enough to 'see' the text on her phone.
However, when people kept sending her spam text messages, Mikaela simply turned down the volume on her phone.
"Knock knock knock".
Around 3 p. m., there was a knock on the door. Mikaela used her magical senses to roughly determine that Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel were behind the door.
"Creak." The door slowly opened, and just as Mikaela seemed about to say something, Irisviel pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.
"Forehead!!"
Although Mikaela was much stronger than the average person, being suddenly tackled to the ground still left him speechless for a moment.
If someone lunges at you with hostility, Mikaela will kick them away, sending them flying. All that's left for Irisviel is happiness and excitement.
How could Mikaela bear to kick her away like that?
"It seems you do have a problem." Emiya Kiritsugu stood in the corridor, glanced around, carried his luggage into Mikaela's room, then silently closed the door and lit a cigarette.
He just let his wife do that, rubbing against a handsome young man.
Of course, Emiya Kiritsugu's attention wasn't on his wife, but on Mikaela. He could clearly feel that he was being watched by something.
That wasn't a gaze, but something else 'looking' at me.
Based on Emiya Kiritsugu's years of experience, it was a minor magic Magecraft called "Magic Perception, "Magecraft either born blind or had gone blind for some strange reason.
"It's alright, we've found a solution." Mikaela forcefully pushed Irisviel away, her tone full of helplessness. "Irisviel, have you gained weight?"
"!!!!!"
Irisviel's excited expression suddenly froze. No one would think they had gained weight, not even this android.
"Hybrids don't get fat!" Irisviel's excited expression turned into an incredibly kind smile. Although she hadn't seen Mikaela for three years, she was extremely excited.
But if someone tells her she's gained weight, even if it's her best friend or her husband, Irisviel will absolutely not forgive them easily!
"Hey!" Irisviel grabbed Mikaela's shoulder and said in a very kind tone, "You agree, right, Aila-chan?"
As it turned out, an angry Irisviel was truly terrifying; even Mikaela wondered if she was mistaken.
How could an artificial human get fat?! Right?! This must be your imagination.
"Hmm." Mikaela nodded slightly, agreeing with Irisviel. He added somewhat subtly, "You should have lost some weight compared to three years ago."
"That's right!!!" Irisviel smiled brightly and hugged Mikaela even tighter, showing that she was really happy.
"..."
Emiya Kiritsugu, smoking a cigarette, looked at Mikaela, who had a slightly troubled expression, with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Let's exchange information. Although it's been three years since we last met, we don't need to be polite." After finally breaking free from Irisviel's embrace, Mikaela looked at Emiya Kiritsugu and said calmly, "Right now, I only have one piece of information that is quite important: there is no Saber class in this Holy Grail War."
"No, the Saber class exists in this Holy Grail War." Emiya Kiritsugu continued smoking, glancing at Mikaela and teasingly adding, "Aren't you Saber?"
"That's a matter for Fuyuki City." Mikaela didn't expect that Emiya Kiritsugu would actually joke. It seems that the past three years have melted a lot of his cold heart.
Similarly, Irisviel was also like that. The other party seemed to be playing around like a child, but in reality, they wanted to get closer to each other. After all, they hadn't seen each other for three years, and there must have been some unfamiliarity between them.
Mikaela knew this, but didn't say anything. After all, saying it wouldn't do him much good, and it was better to fool around with Irisviel and get closer to each other.
"Yes, I hope it goes as smoothly as it did in Fuyuki City." Emiya Kiritsugu sighed, hoping that his side could obtain the Holy Grail as easily as they did in Fuyuki City.
Of course, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't want the Holy Grail; what he wanted was the core of the Holy Grail to save his daughter.
The Holy Grail is something anyone can have! He doesn't want it anymore; what Emiya Kiritsugu wants is for his daughter and wife to live happily ever after.
"I hope so."
Mikaela naturally hoped that the battle would be like the one in Fuyuki City, where, despite the twists and turns, victory would ultimately belong to her side.
"Then let's exchange information." Emiya Kiritsugu found a chair and sat down, then put down his backpack and said calmly, "I don't have a lot of information right now, but I have some information about my Master."
As soon as those words were spoken, Mikaela knew that she had found the right person.
As expected of a former Magus Killer, he certainly has his own unique insights when it comes to intelligence.
"First of all, the Clock Tower has sent two people to participate in this Holy Grail War." Emiya Kiritsugu stubbed out his cigarette and said calmly, "One of them is a piece of trash, even more difficult to deal with Kayneth's disciple."
"That guy's name is Atram Gariasta. He's not a difficult opponent. I'm confident I can kill him. But the guy after him... he's not so easy to deal with."
Atram Gariasta is a traditional Magecraft, and Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't think he poses any threat to him.
But the person behind him made Emiya Kiritsugu truly understand what 'danger' meant!
"You're so wary of him? Who is that person?" Emiya Kiritsugu Mikaela, after all, in another timeline, he had become the guardian of Alaya.
Even in this timeline, if Emiya Kiritsugu hadn't become a Guardian, he would still be incredibly powerful, even against most martial arts-type Magecraft!
"Bazett Fraga Macremis".
Chapter 153 The Unknown Master
"Bazett Fraga Macremis".
When Emiya Kiritsugu uttered the name, a look of confusion flashed across Mikaela's eyes. She seemed to have heard the name somewhere before, but then again, she didn't.
Mikaela asked with some confusion, "Which one is Bazett?"
"She's not that one, but a woman, and she's incredibly powerful!" Emiya Kiritsugu said in a very serious tone. "She's the Mage's Association's Sealing Designation, an action-oriented fighter with immense strength, possessing combat abilities comparable to Servant."
"Her title is 'Human Weapon,' and she is also considered one of the strongest Sealing Designation enforcers of our time."
Emiya Kiritsugu spoke so much, Mikaela nodded calmly, but a hint of confusion remained in her eyes. Why did she have so little recollection of such a powerful being?
"Oh!"
Suddenly, Mikaela seemed to remember something. He remembered that guy was the one who was Kotomine Kirei in the Fifth Holy Grail War.
It seems that the other person was mentioned in True Magic Girl Illya, but in my previous life, I only watched a few episodes of True Magic Girl Illya and didn't watch it in depth, so I only knew the general plot.
'The waters run deep.' Mikaela became secretly wary. She really had to be extra careful. Such a powerful figure who could Servant against Servants was so weak in her memory.
If you're not careful, you could very well get killed by the other party.
Those who can defeat Servant are undoubtedly powerful figures. Mikaela must not be careless when facing Magecraft who can defeat Servant!
"Her goal in coming here is merely to retrieve the Holy Grail. It seems someone at the Clock Tower senses something is amiss with Darnic, so they've dispatched Executor whose strength rivals that of Servant." Emiya Kiritsugu, seeing Mikaela's relief and knowing she understood his meaning, continued, "Therefore, if we're to devise a decapitation plan, we must first force her out of the picture!"
From Emiya Kiritsugu's tone, it was clear that this guy named Bazett was really strong; otherwise, Emiya Kiritsugu wouldn't have been so serious.
Kotomine Kirei only felt fear towards Emiya Kiritsugu because he couldn't predict her actions, but he believed he still had a chance of winning if a fight really broke out.
But when facing Bazett ... Emiya Kiritsugu said he would make her the first to be eliminated. Without a doubt, he felt that he was no match for her at all. At the same time, she was also the most threatening being in this Holy Grail War.
No wonder Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu so pessimistic before contacting Mikaela, feeling that this time they might not be able to return.
Anyone who knew they were about to Servant would be extremely pessimistic.
"No, let's kill Matou Zouken first." Mikaela didn't want to kill Bazett first; she wanted to kill that Old Worm, Matou Zouken.
Although Mikaela was grateful that the other party had created another 'Holy Grail War', the other party was destined to die. He had lived for five hundred years, and it was time for him to pass away.
Mikaela knew all too well how much trouble Matou Zouken could cause, so she had to find a way to kill him before the Holy Grail War even began!
Don't let Matou Zouken cause trouble for you at a crucial moment.
"Him?" Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel had strange expressions, seemingly not expecting that Mikaela would be the first to want to kill Matou Zouken.
"What's wrong? He's a real troublemaker. If we don't kill him quickly, we'll be the ones suffering later in the Holy Grail War." Mikaela sensed Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu's emotions and asked with some doubt, "Is it wrong to prioritize killing such an unpredictable guy?"
"You're right, but he's already dead." Emiya Kiritsugu said with a wry smile, "Moreover, it seems he died at the hands of his own Servant."
"Although I am no longer the Lesser Holy Grail, I was once linked to the Greater Holy Grail, and I can still sense some things, such as the departure of a Servant. I am still aware of this." Irisviel put her hands on her hips, seemingly somewhat proud.
