My name is Lin Hao,
I'm setting up a defensive barrier.
108:11:39
"Is this what a Japanese garden looks like, Kiritsugu? Is it really not a garden?"
Irisviel was standing in the center of a Japanese-style courtyard, looking around with her hands in her hands.
"This was lent to me by an old friend of mine," I heard Kiritsugu say, "I think it's a good place to stay temporarily and wait for Saber to regain her strength."
It has to be said that Kiritsugu had a very good vision in choosing a new base.
The Japanese-style garden itself is located at the deepest point of a road that is cut off halfway, so there will be no pedestrians wandering over. The backyard is on a cliff facing the Weiyuan River. It cannot be attacked by conventional means, and if you need to escape, you can't. very convenient.
Most of the houses in the entire mansion are Japanese-style, but there are also rooms with a more modern style. The courtyard and walkways are decorated with garden gates, stone lanterns, bright flowers and green vegetation. There is even a koi pond in the middle of the yard. The frightened deer was drawing water. The two Sabers were watching with surprise and disdain as the frightened deer slowly filled up with water and then suddenly dropped down with a thud.
And I was pushing my wheelchair around with the purpose of finding faults to see where barrier-free access was required.
'Who did you borrow this clean and tidy room that seems to have always been occupied by people? 'I asked stupid system.
[Looking at the location, this seems to be the residence of the samurai family...] Gaia drew a bird's-eye view of Fuyuki City directly in front of me.
'puff! Doesn’t that mean we need to be prepared for pest control? 'Is that a winged blade insect or a blade insect?
[Didn’t Matou Zōyan quit...]
'It's a joke and you take it seriously, you're really stupid. '
[Woo woo...]
Although I mentioned "barrier-free access" at the time to deliberately embarrass Kiritsugu, there is really nothing special about this mansion that requires "barrier-free access." At least I can use a wheelchair without using magic assistance. Walked through the entire stronghold.
In addition, there is no "warehouse that looks completely isolated from the outside" here, so it shouldn't be a place where Shirou recruits genuine Saber - maybe the fifth battle will be lost?
[Hmm...if you just take away the "evil in this world" and keep the Holy Grail, the five battles should still happen. 】
'Forget it, now fz's original plot alone has been blown away by butterfly wings. '
[The butterfly effect...is largely influenced by the "will of the world", so actually——]
'It's actually your fault. '
[Yes, it’s my fault... Huh? 】
'Okay, I want to think about the next strategy, you can be quiet for a while. '
【oh……】

"Irisviel, how can I help?"
When they returned to the center of the courtyard after a round of inspection, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuu Maiya had already left. There was only Irisviel who was holding a shiny silver "ball of wool" and doing something unknown, so she came up to talk to them.
"If possible, could you help me hang these 'threads' around the yard?" My wife smiled at me and said, "Kiritsugu is not allowed to set up a magic circuit-type defensive barrier this time."
"What about this?" I pushed the wheelchair close to Irisviel and took the "ball of yarn", and she took out another one like a magic trick.
According to my knowledge of magic, it should be the "mithril thread" used by my wife to weave giant eagles, flying swords, protective array patterns and other things. The material is soft and tough. It was improved by the alchemy of the Einzbern family. It has become my wife’s secret weapon, but at present, its functions seem to have not been fully developed.
I tried to pull off a piece of "wool" and let it fall to the ground naturally. The silver-white line melted and disappeared the moment it touched the ground. Then, a magic pattern that was almost the same as its landing posture flickered on the ground. Finally, it lit up a giant magic circle at Irisviel's location before fading away.
"It seems that it is indeed not connected to the magic circuit. I will try my best to lay them out." I smiled at my wife, put the ball of wool on my knees, and pushed the wheels of the wheelchair towards the outside of the mansion.
Different from the mithril threads that my wife used to weave into various shapes, the ones I have in my hands have been refined in advance into something similar to wires and triggers. Even if they are thrown around casually, they will evolve into magic nodes and connect them. Go up to the main formation located in the atrium, and that main formation has the function of camouflage and extracting spiritual energy magic to replenish everyone within the range.
The reason for using this function is naturally - when I passed by the restaurant, I took a look inside. Saber Alter was eating burgers with a charging momentum, while Saber Lily was filling the pot of steaming rice. expect.
As expected... I dropped a piece of "yarn" and continued walking toward the backyard.
————
'By the way, how is that seventy-two-in-one gun girl doing now? '
How big is the backyard? I asked the stupid system while spreading mithril wire along the edge.
[She was beaten violently by Jin Shanshan, and Qi Li and Long Zhijie didn't help her, so they ran away from home. 】
The aerial view of Fuyuki in the corner of the field of vision quickly zoomed in, showing Rin Tosaka and Sakura Tosaka?
'Although I know they came to Fuyuki, I'm asking Assassin...oh, there. '
Rin and Sakura were arguing about whether they were lost, where their home was, and whether they should cross the bridge. Not far from them stood a girl whose whole body was covered by shadows.
[She was supposed to be running around aimlessly, but because she came into contact with the two of them when she was unconscious, she has been subconsciously following them since they met. 】
'Well, after all, it's a truce period, and she doesn't have the characteristics of a heroic spirit at all, so it doesn't matter even if someone discovers her - eh. '
Because there are some man-made landscaping in the backyard of this mansion, it was built as a double storey for the sake of beauty. The riverside side is two or three steps higher than the inland side, and it is obviously impossible for a wheelchair to push it up.
"It's so troublesome..." I held the wool ball and made a sad face.
"So, you just let me cure this paralysis. Wouldn't it be much more convenient?" Illya's vest appeared next to him, and then he snatched the ball of string away.
"No, this must be allowed to heal on its own." I made a determined expression.
[Ah ha ha ha ha...] This stupid system will laugh twice every time it sees me performing the double act, even if it gets beaten later.
'No laughing! What am I-'
Buzz-buzz-
Ilia was originally going to let Lin Hao go up the two steps, but the "yarn ball" in her hand began to tremble and glow, and a dangerous-sounding sound came out.
'what's the situation? ! '
【I, I don’t know...】
'Really incompetent - prompt sister? '
[Tip: 'Infused Mithril Thread' is about to explode due to excessive charging. 】
When did you overcharge? But there’s no time to worry about that now!
He quickly switched to Illya's vest, took aim briefly, and threw the mithril thread ball toward the other side of the river.
boom!
A blue light beam similar to an ex curry stick shot straight into the sky.
'Well, I just hastily confirmed that there is no one on the other side, but how many people will see it now? '
[Because the color is not obvious, it does not attract much attention, but the ones that are noticed are basically directed at the light pillar in the previous castle, so——]
The light screen in the corner of the field of vision switched again, and a group of guys with cameras were huffing and puffing from the bridge head toward the place where the light pillar was generated.
'Humph, they shouldn't be able to find anything but a pit - huh? '
Rin Tosaka, who was studying the map, didn't seem to want to be swept away by the crowd. He grabbed the hand of the girl next to him and left their only path before the crowd merged——
But it was Emil you arrested?
————
"Okay, okay? Is Caster back?"
Originally, he planned to see Rin's expression when he realized that he had arrested the wrong person, but she seemed to be alarmed by the mithril thread explosion, and her wife hurried over, arriving before anyone else.
Although the reason why the thing exploded is unknown, it still counts as causing trouble, so I directly let Illya's vest spirit body return to its source... Wait, what does this behavior have to do with the naughty kid running away after getting into trouble? the difference?
"Well, she just came back, but she left immediately." Before I could make any other moves, I turned my wheelchair to face Irisviel who had already walked into the backyard.
"Be honest with me, okay, what did Illya do before?" My wife seemed very uneasy, walked over and grabbed my arm and asked.
What to do...just give Sora a magic seal and nothing more...
"You know what she went to do, right?" My wife grabbed my shoulders instead, lowered her head and stared at me: "Please don't hide it, this is very important."
"Well, in order to ask Rider to take action, she promised to give Kenneth's fiancée Sola, a female transshipper, a magic seal whose family bloodline has been severed. She should have fulfilled it." I couldn't resist my wife's gaze after all, and turned my head.
"Really? Sure enough...that silly boy." Irisviel let go of her hand, and her original gentle tone became a little...sad?
What, even if you are a mother, you can't let your children be stupid, right?
"Do you know why those mithril threads exploded just now?" As if she noticed my expression, my wife looked at the noisy crowd on the other side and took her time.
'Stupid system, why? '
[Because she often stays at the root. Although she does not absorb it, the concentration of magic power attached to her is too great, and the 'Silver Thread Scroll' cannot bear it. 】
'You're so big in silver threads! '
"Even if she becomes a heroic spirit, she cannot have the ability to transfer other families' magic imprints. Most of them will use her own magic circuit to transform, and this transformation will cause her magic to leak out for a certain period of time, so there is Only by absorbing the surrounding mithril threads of stray magic power..." The wife paused for a moment before continuing: "This kind of autonomous magic leakage is different from being hit by a bullet like Kiritsugu's. It will be accompanied by severe pain. Did you feel it just now? Do you think she is forcing a smile?"
"..."
If I hadn't personally picked out the engraved mark at the root, even I would believe this well-founded analysis.
