"Alright, since we intend to win, let's make a plan."
Walking along the road to the market, Hinako Akuta tightened her scarf and spoke to Xiang An, who was following behind her.
"Xiang An, as Rider, your greatest strength is undoubtedly your speed. Take this."
As she spoke, Hinako Akuta pulled a map from her pocket and handed it to Xiang An.
"Sister-in-law, what is this?"
Xiang An unfolded the map and narrowed his eyes.
"The Holy Grail War is being held in this city. According to the information I've gathered, aside from us, six other Master-Servant pairs will be participating. The identities of three of those groups have been confirmed, and their bases in Fuyuki City are clear as well."
"Once night falls today, try investigating these three locations. I've already marked them."
Xiang An looked down. Sure enough, three red dots had been marked on the map.
The river running through the middle of Fuyuki City was called the Mion River, dividing the city into eastern and western halves. The Tohsaka Family was located east of the Mion River, the Matou Family was west of it, while the Einzbern Family's castle stood on the southern outskirts of Fuyuki City, far from the city center.
"Understood. Torrent Gallop hasn't run across the waves in quite some time. This is a good chance to let it stretch its legs."
"But, Sister-in-law, what are we going out to do now?"
Putting away the map, Xiang An rubbed his wrist. He still did not quite understand why Hinako Akuta had come out.
"To buy groceries."
Hinako Akuta did not even turn her head.
"There's another person in the house now. We need to buy a lot more things."
Xiang An had quite the appetite.
Although Servants did not truly need to eat
