[It's not that bad. A mage's assets—how can that be called stealing?]

However, when Rin rushed onto the plane to search for the Holy Relic, she found nothing.
"What's going on—what the hell is going on?!"
Rin let out a wail.
"There's nothing! Why is there nothing?!"
There was no Holy Relic at all.
Although the mages had all been knocked unconscious by Atalanta over there.
Contrary to her wishes, Rin Tohsaka had not found the Holy Relic.
The victims were all still alive, but that was all.
"Could it have been that ambusher?!" Rin thought of something.
"No." Red A said, "I've been keeping an eye on that person. He couldn't have gotten over here."
"What happened?" White walked over as well.
"T-there's someone else?" Rin's expression fell.
While the mantis stalked the cicada, the oriole waited behind.
Someone else had taken away the Holy Relic here.
"Could someone else be trying to summon a Heroic Spirit?" Rin pondered.
"That's possible," Red A said.
"But there's another possibility—" White frowned. She had thought of one as well.
"Uh—"
"It's the situation we were desperately trying to prevent," White explained.
"The boar hide is still here," Sigma said.
"That was only one of the accelerants. There are many Holy Relics that could replace it," White said.
"Damn it, just who would do something like this—" Rin sighed.
"Not necessarily." White thought for a moment. "My guess is that they might want to stimulate the divine energy within the olive branch. Perhaps to heal injuries, or absorb power..."
There were many possibilities.
But none of the outcomes were very good.
In short, it was a huge headache.
But the bigger headache now was dealing with the scene.
