My name is Illya,
Kariya owes me his life.

"The emperor actually ran so fast... I really want to see Director Ken's expression when he sees Emil. Kariya won't die for the time being, right?"
After having a nondescript Three Kings' Banquet, I had just returned to the source to deal with the matter that reminded my sister that "Matou Kariya and Uyu Ryunosuke may be in danger", when I saw that the emperor had already arrived in the mountains on the Kamui Wheel. In the mansion, the girl Assassin I just captured was sitting on my shoulders.
Tohsaka Rin, on the other hand, was looking around on the Huizhou with wide eyes, and kept asking questions to Jin Shining, but the only answer he got was "You should be the most powerful heroic spirit, right?" "Huh, of course. "
[It’s okay for the time being, Matou Kariya is doing his part as a landowner by hosting Ryunosuke Ubuo for tea and chat. 】Stupid system Gaia replied.
'Oh, that's good. There's nothing to see here in Jin Shining. Let's switch the surveillance to the Emperor and take a look. '
The stupid system turned around half a circle and projected the live scene of the mansion in the mountains from the giant globe.
"Webber, where have you been hanging out? And who is she?" Sola's Queen-like voice came out before the screen was fully displayed.
"Please step back, my lord and queen, she looks a lot like Assassin." After the picture became clear, Sora and Kenneth were seen greeting Weber and the Emperor who descended on the Divine Wheel, but Diarmuid's expression was serious. He stood solemnly between the two sides, assuming a posture as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Hmm... As expected, the mind's eye is very useful and can directly determine who may be a threat.
"Well, she is -" "It's an assassin, yes!" Weber was interrupted by the Emperor midway through his words, and the "bottom-up glare" he displayed after that was completely lacking in momentum.
"Rider, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation." Kenneth took a step forward and asked, while Luna, who was cleaning the courtyard floor not far away, also rushed over and put on a defensive posture.
'I also want to hear the reason for this behavior of luring wolves into the house. '
"Well, you have eliminated the Assassin's body that can be divided infinitely, right?" Rider lifted the girl's collar on his shoulders and put her down: "Then if you eliminate one of the Assassins who are living outside, you will lose one?"
"If you want to eliminate it-" "Listen to me."
As soon as Lancer turned his gun, Assassin was held behind him by the emperor.
"I met Caster just now when I was taking her with me, and she was taking Tokiomi Tokiomi's daughter." The Emperor pointed to the direction where we had held the Three Kings Cake Banquet.
"They should have been attracted by the beam of light from Archer and Saber's fight." Kenneth immediately guessed the truth.
"The next thing is the important point. Tokiomi Tosaka used the command spell to make Archer appear next to us." Rider said solemnly.
"What? How is this possible? With such unfavorable conditions, he should know that we will not take action against the family, so -" Kenneth paused: "So, this assassin is very important to them."
"Moreover," Rider added: "Archer stared at the assassin with an expression that wanted to kill him the whole time. It was not until Caster left that he turned his attention to Tokiomi Tokiomi's daughter and took her away like a cover-up."
Wow, how come I didn’t know there were so many things going on in the farce-like banquet of the Three Kings just now?
"So, Tokiomi Tosaka doesn't care about her being killed, but she can't be handed over to an excellent magician like Caster, otherwise 'something' will be seen." Rider concluded and looked at Ken with a keen eye. Nice.
'Hey...what do you see? Stupid system? '
[If you can see that it is the real body... wouldn't that be worse? 】
"Haha! You made a good judgment, Rider, if there is any secret about this Assassin, leave it to me, the Clock Tower talent!" Director Ken actually believed it: "Sora, then I will leave the care and monitoring of this Assassin to you. You’re with Luna, is that okay?”
"Haha, of course~ Let's go with my sister~" Sora came over and took Emil's hand.
[Why do you all want to be other people’s sisters—Wow! 】
'Cut the nonsense, there's nothing to see here, go to the Matou family. '
105:33:21
Whatever Matou Kariya thought was in his old house, it must be wrong.
Because even I didn't expect something like this to come out.
When the surveillance screen was transferred to Matou's house, he saw that the underground insect warehouse was clean, except for one person - Oro? Molten Throat? Or Narassas? In short, it's just a huge weird insect standing upright.
The carapace is thick, the joints are sharp, and the huge jaws seem to have an amazing bite force.
However, Matou Kariya and Uyu Ryunosuke, whose combat prowess is obviously not on the same level, are looking for inheritance in the Matou residence, and it seems that they will go to the basement soon.
'What is that thing? How did it come out? '
[That... you obviously threw it out with your own hands...]
'Huh? So that's-'
[Tip: The prototype of 'pax-201' is in a special mutated state. 】
Is it the mana floating dragon that was captured by Lord Chong at the beginning? I took a closer look at the giant insect, but I couldn't tell what it looked like at all.
'So what kind of special mutation state is it? '
[Because after Maric Zolgen decided to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, he took away all the bugs except this one. It had no 'symptoms' to evolve, so it began to evolve 'special abilities' on its own. As for me specifically Project it for you. 】
"Special abilities" are different from "symptoms" in that, first of all, they can only actively evolve and cannot be produced through independent mutation. Secondly, unlike "symptoms", they cannot be discovered by the outside world, but they cannot degenerate.
For example, when I was Patient Zero a long time ago, the "pax-200" I was infected with, its evolved "airborne transmission", "drug resistance", "drought adaptation", etc. are special abilities. However, those abilities are very important to this Holy Grail. The war didn't help at all, so I basically didn't care.
'Well, show me what it secretly evolved. '
The stupid system made several turns in the air and projected a light screen.
[Rage: The damage caused when injured will be increased proportionally. When the health value drops to 30%, the damage bonus reaches 100%]
[Tear: When causing damage to the enemy, it will cause it to bleed, which cannot be relieved unless it is fully healed]
[Gigantic: HP increased by 40%, damage caused by 30%]
...This is no longer a life-threatening issue! He's dead, okay?
"Kariya, how come your magic gifts are all for strengthening summoned objects?"
"Because it originally relied on summoned objects to fight. After all, the command spell was originally designed by the Matou family."
From another surveillance screen that has been tracking Ryunosuke and Kariya, it can be seen that they found some magic gifts in the mansion to strengthen and control summoned objects, including bracelets, arm armor and animal collars.
'Hmm... This is obviously a costume for animals, birds of prey, and beasts, right? How come Mr. Chong has only used insects? '
【Let me see……】
The red cube that the stupid system was hiding in spun around in the air a few times, and then suddenly said in a tone of reading from a manuscript:
[A few generations ago, Matou Zouken's summons were too many but not good enough. Therefore, the previous Holy Grail Wars ended in defeat. In the end, he threw all the summons he could control into the Colosseum - which is now underground. Insect bin, let them kill each other and decide which power to specialize in. 】
'A victory for the bugs? '
[No, in fact, the one who was supposed to win was an eagle-like raptor. It kept hiding itself and did not attack at all until it was completely sure. Therefore, it remained until the end with another group of bugs that had a numerical advantage, and because of its restraint, it was almost certain to win. . 】
'but? '
[However, the group of insects finally gathered together and transformed themselves into the exact same shape as the eagle. This behavior moved Matou Zōyan, who was thinking about how to live forever, so he took action to help the insects win the final victory. 】
'...That eagle must have something to say. '
[After that, Matou Zouken began to use insects as incarnations, and replaced each generation of family heads after they left descendants. This was repeated for twenty-six generations, and therefore completely forgot that he wanted to eliminate all evil in the world. 'This initial desire. 】
'Thank you for reading the setting text. Now tell me how to save Matou Kariya and Ryunosuke. '
On the surveillance screen, Yan Ye had already gone to the underground insect warehouse. The two of them might not be enough to take one bite of the mutant giant insect.
[No, I don’t know, wuwuwu...]
'Useless stupid system - it's too late to cry. '
[Tip: Due to the influence of the autonomous evolution of the 'pax-201' prototype, the basement of Matou House has been 'alienated'. 】Prompt sister suddenly pops up a prompt box.
'Hmm... alienation? '
The meaning of alienation is to isolate an area from the real world. The environment and laws in it will change to varying degrees in favor of oneself according to the level of the magician who initiates alienation. The apex of alienation is " Inherent enchantment".
Obviously that big bug has no ability to initiate "alienation" on its own, and it is my creation. So, this alienated space is actually - in a sense, the root?
I tried to stretch out my hand and wave it on the picture of the big bug. The giant bug raised its head as if it was sensing something, and its dark compound eyes moved according to the movements of my fingers.
How does this feel like... I curled my fingers and flicked the giant insect on the projection screen. As a result, it fell backwards as if it was hit by something, and then curled up into a ball, which seemed very aggrieved.
It is indeed an electronic pet... So at least the warehouse can directly interfere with the root cause?
'Stop crying, you stupid system, I've thought of a way to save them both! '
I raised my hand and pulled the red cube down from the air, knocked it twice, and brought it to the screen that projected the underground insect warehouse.
'You create it now... and then put it in..., and then set it to... Do you understand? '
【That'll be fine? just in case……】
'If anything happens, I'll close the door and let the caster go! You work quickly! '
