"Suspended? The Holy Grail War hasn't even properly begun yet, has it? Why would it be suspended?"
Hinako Akuta frowned after hearing the information Xiang An had relayed.
This was not a good thing.
According to her memories, something similar had happened during the previous Holy Grail War. However, that suspension had been to subjugate the Servant Ibaraki Douji, who had caused the deaths of a great many ordinary people in Fuyuki City.
Had something like that happened again, prompting this sudden suspension?
"I don't know yet, but that's roughly the information I received."
"So, sister-in-law, should we still find a way to seek out the enemy and attack?"
Two days had passed since the Holy Grail War officially began, but only a few scattered small-scale battles had broken out during that time. Then, on the afternoon of the third day, the Holy Grail War was abruptly suspended.
"What is the current situation at the Matou Family's territory and the Tohsaka Family's territory?"
Hinako Akuta pulled over a map and studied the full layout of Fuyuki City as she asked seriously.
"The Tohsaka Family's base is still quiet, but people have been constantly coming and going from the Matou Family's base."
"Focus on the Matou Family's base next. Even if we can't eliminate their Servant, we need to obtain information."
"Uncle, get on the horse. We're leaving."
This time, Hinako Akuta chose to act personally.
"If nothing unexpected happened, this should be alcohol."
"Poisoned alcohol."
Inside the Matou base, Adelson held a beaker in his hand. At its bottom remained a small amount of liquid residue that looked distinctly wrong.
"Poisoned alcohol. We investigated the Galliasta Family's magecraft. Their magecraft is somewhat strange, but it has absolutely nothing to do with alcohol."
Sakura flipped through the intelligence in her hands
