Preparations to Kill Sajyou Manaka

"Wow... it's definitely much more prosperous than Southeast Asia..."

Arcueid's crimson eyes swept across the largest airport in Japan, a hint of wistfulness appearing on her pretty face—

"Humans are really interesting. When I woke up last time, there wasn't much difference between those cities and towns."

"Has it really developed to this... advanced level in just a few decades?"

"It's not just a matter of time, but also about regional differences—"

At this point in time, this city was considered one of the more advanced cities in the world.

Seeing Arcueid's naive, country-girl-in-the-city expression, Gwen chuckled and replied—

"In about ten years, cities like this will be common in the neighboring big country."

"If you plan to travel to Divine Land, please make the necessary preparations in advance."

That place... is different from others, it's very mysterious.

Hearing Gwen's words, Altrouge, who had been quietly following half a step behind Gwen, dressed in an elegant and exquisite black dress, her steps seemingly carrying a certain rhythm, quietly reminded him.

"I once met an elf in that area."

While sharing many similarities with the true ancestors in essence, they are also vastly different, perhaps due to the unique culture and system of that region.

"..."

Upon hearing this news, Gwen was slightly taken aback before asking curiously—

"Is he someone who seems quiet and reserved, but is actually a bit short-tempered?"

Altrouge's words instantly reminded Gwen of his neighbor, Old Mustard.

"Hmm... At that time, my injuries had not yet healed, and for some reason, I had a conflict with him."

However, at that time, White Wing Duke's henchmen happened to come to our door, which made my relationship with them somewhat better.

As we parted, she told me it would be best if I didn't go there.

With your abilities, you shouldn't encounter too much danger.

But it is precisely because of your power that you may attract the attention of some powerful beings, or even have them appear.

Altrouge, her face showing surprise, nodded slightly, her gaze towards Gwen now filled with curiosity—

Did Gwen also encounter that person?

"Well, I don't plan to go there unless absolutely necessary."

Gwen nodded slightly, indicating that he would heed the advice.

After all, my hometown is shrouded in mystery and all sorts of rumors, so there's no need to go there.

As they moved forward, the crowd thinned out considerably, and the three of them separated from the flow of people.

"It seems the uninvited guest has arrived..."

Suddenly, Gwen noticed a strange gaze, and a smirk appeared on his lips—

All three of them were protected by barriers set up by Altrouge, such as those that would ward off idlers.

Those who can directly target the three are most likely people involved in the underworld, perhaps from a local magician family, or perhaps from the Holy Church.

Given the Church's previous actions of spreading rumors and inciting mindless Dead Apostles to cause trouble, Gwen had no doubt that he would see members of the Church.

However, to Gwen's surprise, the visitor did not have the "stench of the church" that Altrouge had described. Instead, he was quite reserved and carried a dark magical aura.

However, despite possessing such magical properties, the newcomers turned out to be a pair of rather attractive sisters—

With brown hair and blue eyes, and a tall figure, her black sweater and black tights made her look like a somewhat introverted girl with glasses.

With blonde hair, blue eyes, a petite figure, and a light green dress, this beautiful girl, who looks like a doll, is like Princess who has stepped out of a fairy tale. Her radiant smile is almost comparable to Arcueid's.

However, as Gwen observed the two sisters, a sudden unease struck him—

The blonde girl seemed too normal to him, so normal that Gwen instinctively knew there was something wrong with her.

Compare the characters from the Type-Moon World in my Remembrance—

"Could it be that we ran into the Sajo Sisters...?"

Gwen remained unchanged. He led Arcueid and Altrouge to the blonde girl who was waving at them.

"Hey, you guys, over here..."

"Sister, those are, after all, Dead Apostles..."

Seeing her older sister's excited expression, Sayo Ayaka murmured helplessly.

"Ayaka is wrong. This is a combination of a True Ancestor, a True Ancestor-Death Apostle hybrid, and a human. To be honest, there isn't a single Death Apostle among them."

Faced with her younger sister Sayo Ayaka's persuasion, which sounded like that of an older sister, the petite Sayo Aika, who looked more like the younger sister, smiled and retorted.

"Can..."

Seeing the smiling face on her older sister's face, Sayo Ayaka knew that nothing she said would make a difference, so she could only sigh deeply.

When she was a child, Sayo Ayaka was troubled because her older sister was a genius while she was an ordinary person.

However, as she grew up, Sayo Ayaka, facing Sayo Aika, deeply missed her once almost omnipotent older sister.

At this moment, Gwen and his companions had arrived. Sayo Ayaka could only swallow her bitterness and look solemnly at Gwen.

"Gentlemen, this is the Sajo Family, who manage the Tokyo Spirit Vein. My name is Sayo Ayaka, and this is my older sister Sayo Aika."

Faced with a situation where the message from the Holy Church clearly indicated two people, but now it had become a group of three, Sayo Ayaka dared not be careless in the slightest. She bowed meticulously to show her cooperation.

According to records, Arcueid the White Princess had no interest in killing humans; she was only looking for Roa, the Serpent of Akasha was reincarnated.

Knowing this, Sayo Ayaka, at the urging of her older sister, chose to come here to greet these... three people.

Chapter 552 Preparations to Kill Sayo Aika

If Roa is in Tokyo, quickly help them get rid of that scourge and send the person away.

If Roa's reincarnation isn't in Tokyo, that would be even better. We should do everything we can to provide them with convenience, so that these plagues... no, these heroes who are hunting down villains can embark on the right path.

With this in mind, Sayo Ayaka agreed to her older sister's suggestion and came here.

Faced with the respectful Sayo Ayaka, Gwen felt a pang of unease, his eyes darting out to examine the seemingly harmless blonde girl, his heart filled with tension—

Leaving aside why the Sajo Family became the managers of the Tokyo Spirit Vein and the unevenness of this world, let's talk about why Sayo Aika from the Fate series ended up in the Tsukihime series.

Now it seems we should be thankful that the prequel period of the Fragments of the Blue Silver is over, and Sayo Aika has gone from being an extremely dangerous individual to a generally dangerous individual.

It wasn't that Gwen was afraid of Sayo Aika; it was just that this Imperial Princess of the Root was too troublesome, with no bottom line and no limit to the trouble she caused.

Even if the opposing Sayo Aika might not be the Imperial Princess of the Root, Gwen still just wanted to stay far away from her.

He's certainly planning to cause trouble in this world, but he doesn't want another madman to join him.

However, whatever he thought in his heart, Gwen showed no sign of anything amiss on his face, simply nodding slightly.

"Heh... it's really rare to encounter a magician with a sense of responsibility—"

Our destination shouldn't be in Tokyo. Please arrange transportation for us to Misaki City.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Please wait a moment."

Finding that none of the anticipated terrible situations had occurred, Sayo Ayaka's mood at this moment could almost be described as overjoyed.

With a smile on her face, Sayo Ayaka walked to the side to arrange a car for the three of them, signaling to her older sister not to cause trouble, and that getting these three away would be a victory.

However, Sayo Ayaka had clearly forgotten her older sister's current attributes—

"Going to Misaki City... Is that where the Serpent of Akasha was reincarnated?"

Sayo Aika wore an innocent smile, her bright eyes as clear as a pristine blue sky, devoid of any malice.

"It's just one possibility..."

Gwen, seemingly completely uninterested in Sayo Aika, closed his eyes.

"The Serpent of Akasha, Roa... This kind of being that stirs up a bloodbath every few decades is truly someone everyone wants to kill..."

"I am not very talented, but I happen to have some expertise in the realm of the soul; perhaps I can be of assistance to you two?"

Sayo Aika, however, seemed oblivious to Gwen's expression, and smiled as she volunteered.

"Roa, we will handle this ourselves. Don't do anything unnecessary, Magician."

Faced with the noisy Sayo Aika, Altrouge stepped forward, her cool and pretty face displaying an expression that kept people at a distance.

Normally, Altrouge wouldn't mind giving the other party a spot for such high-quality food that comes to her door.

But now that she's with Gwen, all Altrouge has to do is drive him away—

One Arcueid is enough; Altrouge doesn't want another ancestor on her head.

"Hmm... According to the intelligence sent by the Holy Church, it seems that only Her Princess and this gentleman are mentioned. I wonder who this young lady is..."

Facing the icy aura emanating from Altrouge, Sayo Aika blinked and asked curiously.

"My name is Altrouge Brunestud."

With her crimson eyes slightly narrowed, Altrouge stared at the somewhat unusual woman and spoke slowly.

"So it's Black Princess Kurohime..."

Upon hearing Altrouge introduce herself, Sayo Aika looked surprised, and then... nothing more.

Upon hearing her name, he didn't even apologize for his earlier rudeness, which, in Altrouge's eyes, was blatant contempt. The magician in front of her had clearly guessed something and was silently mocking her.

Lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife.

Even though she was prepared to learn from Gwen, be taken hostage, and even do worse, just because Altrouge could do it didn't mean others could say otherwise!

Just as the aura emanating from Altrouge was becoming increasingly ominous, even Sayo Ayaka, who had moved to the side, noticed it, a hand gently pressed on her thin shoulder, suppressing the rising magical power.

Altrouge instinctively turned around and met Gwen's icy blue eyes.

"I'm sorry, Your Eminence, I..."

Instinctively, Altrouge thought she had displeased Gwen and was about to apologize, but Gwen interrupted her—

"This is not your fault..."

Gwen gently shook his head, pulling Altrouge behind him, then took a half-step forward, looking down at Sayo Aika—

"Sayo Aika... you really want to come with us?"

"Um..."

Facing Gwen, Sayo Aika's smile seemed to gain a touch more sincerity, and she nodded gently—

"Since we're dealing with a monster like the Serpent of Akasha, please take me with you. I'll be of help."

Faced with that innocent, Princess- like smile, Gwen remained silent for a moment, then nodded gently.

"Sure, but don't cause any trouble, understand?"

Now, it's clear that Sayo Aika is interested in the three of them, and there's a high probability that she's taken a liking to them. So, running away is impossible, and she might even be allowed to cause trouble in secret.

Since that's the case, it's better to keep them under our noses. If they really want to cause trouble, Gwen can just slap them to death.

Even though that one magic circuit was linked to the Root, Sayo Aika was still just a frail girl—the kind who would die with a single stab from the Old Sword —without changing her own body.

If the opponent does something that warrants death, Gwen can do it even more thoroughly than the Old Sword.

The Authority of Restraint and gravity together form Force Field, restricting the opponent's actions and resistance. Aquarius's Ice Coffin freezes the body, Cancer's Corpse Qi restrains the soul, and then combat techniques such as Lightning Speed Fist are used to completely destroy that abnormal body, leaving her with no hope of resurrection.

"Of course, stay tuned."

Sayo Aika smiled sweetly, like an innocent girl experiencing the first stirrings of love.

"Elder sister!"

Sayo Ayaka had run back, heard their conversation and became anxious.

"Don't worry, Ayaka, I'm just going with the two Princess and the Prince to deal with the evil wizard. There won't be any danger..."

Sayo Aika stood on tiptoe and patted Sayo Ayaka's shoulder, speaking with a smile as if she were casually talking about spending the night at a classmate's house.

"Can..."

Sayo Ayaka wanted to say something else—

That's the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles and the last true progenitor in the world, practically the world's biggest human bomb. Are you really not afraid of death?
