"Show me your magecraft, Shinji."
"Also, have you gathered any intel lately? The familiars you sent out should be able to ensure full coverage of Fuyuki City."
On the third floor of the Matou Family base, inside Adelson's Magic Workshop, Adelson had finally lost some of his carefree ease and become more serious.
"I can indeed detect things, but not all the information makes it back. Someone has been clearing out my familiars."
Matou Shinji held a transparent gemstone in his hand.
The information captured by the familiars would automatically enter this gemstone device once they came within a certain range.
This was a trivial little spell Matou Shinji had tinkered up, but it was quite useful for gathering intelligence.
"The magecraft I've been developing lately is somewhat related to my brother as well. It concerns this."
Sakura also had a device in her hand for receiving information.
"Liquid Gem, an Imaginary Numbers affinity, and Sakura's sister, the current head of the Tohsaka Family. Average One... This era really is interesting."
Adelson smiled.
Three was probably the limit.
There couldn't possibly be a fourth magecraft genius in this city.
"Over in Miyama Town, my familiars sensed what felt like a battle last night. There should have been three Servants involved, though the information was only captured after all three had already left."
"Of those three Servants, one should have been Archer, the one summoned by Rin Tohsaka. But my familiars all have fairly distinctive traits, so... they were probably cleared out by someone else."
"As for what happened afterward, I wasn't able to find any more valuable information."
Once Matou Shinji finished speaking, the gemstone in his hand dimmed.
It seemed this thing was single-use.
Still, with Matou Shinji's magecraft and magical energy, making something of this level was easy
