"If we hadn't arrived in time, you might have been in danger just now. Sakura, why didn't you summon your servant first and show up again?"
Weber, who had grown into a long-haired man with a gloomy temperament, looked at the girl with a somewhat reproachful look and said.
"..."
Sakura, who put on her brown sunglasses again, seemed a little silent in the face of this caring accusation.
"Forget it, maybe it's a good idea not to summon the servant directly."
Weber sighed.
"This time, in addition to us coming to support you, Teacher Kenneth also asked me to bring you something special."
As he spoke, Weber took out a large block object from the suitcase and placed it in front of him.
"This is?"
Looking at the slate in front of her with distorted pictures and characters, Sakura was a little confused.
"In ancient Mesopotamia, the urban state of the early dynasty of Sumer, the mudstone tablets left over from the Uruk period are called [antiques] in archeology, and as an item infected by magic, This is another [holy relic], but it is the book of the Uruk Code that was long held by the fifth king of the Uruk Dynasty at that time."
Weber introduced.
"It was sealed by magic power over the years and has been preserved intact without any damage. Until this era, Teacher Kenneth also spent a lot of money, time, manpower, and material resources to get this thing in his hands..."
Weber looked at the girl and pushed the mud and stone slab over.
"Sakura, this is an important index that the teacher has prepared for your heroic spirit summoning ceremony.
Although I don’t want to say it, in the Fourth Holy Grail War that I experienced, the King of Uruk represented by this holy relic, Gilgamesh, stood at the pinnacle of the Heroic Spirit Servants.
As long as you use this thing to summon the King of Heroes from the Hall of Valor again, this time the Fifth Holy Grail War will be as simple for you as getting the reference answer papers in advance. "
Looking at the holy relic [Slate Codex] that was pushed in front of her, which Weber called [the answer to victory in the Fifth Holy Grail War], Sakura shook her head without much hesitation: "I'm not allowed to use this thing."
Rubbing his temples that were always swollen from working overtime, Weber asked with a headache: "Sakura, do you want to win this Holy Grail War without summoning heroic spirits?"
My junior sister is a martial arts sect, powerful enough to fight against heroic spirits, and Gray is also an expert in fighting against spirits. As for him, he has been granted the power to defeat the latest golem developed by the El-Melloi faction in recent years. The control power is barely half the power of a heroic spirit.
Before summoning the Servants, their current combat power was considered luxurious. It was not impossible to get through this Holy Grail War without summoning heroic spirits.
However, the difficulty factor can still be said to be very high, because they can only fight against ordinary heroic spirits, and once the heroic spirits they face reach the level, not to mention the level of Hero King Gilgamesh, let's say Iskandar. The bastard guy is also someone they can't possibly fight.
The Noble Phantasm is indeed the key to widening the gap in strength between humans and heroic spirits, and between normal magicians and servants!
"No, I'm not that arrogant. It's just that I already have the holy relic to summon heroic spirits."
Sakura touched the black leather notebook that she always carried with her. Ten years of time had caused the outer cover of this notebook to fade a little, but it could be seen that it had been well maintained.
"This is indeed an old thing, but I can't tell that it is a holy thing at all..."
Weber paused and did not continue.
He suddenly remembered the special meaning of this notebook to the girl.
"If you want to use it as an index to perform the summoning ritual of heroic spirits, there's nothing wrong with it.
So, when do you plan to start summoning heroic spirits? "
Weber asked.
"Now."
Sakura replied.
"here?"
"The rebuilt Fuyuki City Civic Hall."
…
[For a person who can be called a hero, although the relics left by the other party are not truly holy relics, it is not necessarily impossible for him to perform the summoning ceremony of heroic spirits at the last place where that person left the world. Servants are summoned from the historical traces of the past...]
Next to the Civic Hall, Weber looked at the girl who had carved a summoning circle on the ground, and had some strange thoughts in his heart.
[Perhaps, Sakura, who came to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, is not as calm as she appears on the surface. She also has some selfish motives of her own, such as meeting again with the important people she once lost. Even if possible, resurrecting an important person who has been lost...]
"It's full, it's full, it's full..."
The girl put the black leather notebook on top and began to recite the summoning spell of the heroic spirit.
Wandering between life and death, whether it is the nostalgia of the dead for the world, or the reluctance of the living for the deceased, is a very dangerous thing for magicians, because many magicians are in this kind of situation. Under the circumstances, they gradually fall into evil ways. Only those who have experienced this kind of thing can know it for themselves, and it is difficult for outsiders to say anything...
[Sakura is a kind and good girl. I just hope that she will not fall into evil ways because of her obsession. 】
Weber secretly thought.
Gray, who was standing next to him, was very surprised by the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ceremony he had seen for the first time. His eyes were fixed on the summoning array that was emitting light in the field without blinking.
The mercury material used to draw the summoning circle, and the magic particles carried in it are being evaporated, represents the heroic spirit summoning ceremony, which is going on without any problems.
The magic mist completely filled the air, and as there was obvious movement inside, Sakura's eyes became a little nervous, looking closely at the magic mist that could not be penetrated by her eyes.
[Did you succeed? Is it my brother? 】
"In response to your call, are you the old Master? You are really a young girl."
A somewhat old voice sounded, and a pair of black armored boots appeared first in front of everyone.
"Didn't it work?"
Sakura clearly showed disappointment. She had already seen the black leather notebook that had not changed at all in the summoning circle. She walked up and took it back.
"Is he the heroic spirit from Saber Employment Agency?"
Weber used the magic of the Eye of Discernment.
"What, is this...Assassin?"
He once again looked at the new strange heroic spirit, the heavy armor and heavy sword on his body.
Weber opened his mouth, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Gray, this guy is a bit bad. Can we stay away from him? I feel like I am dying as a magic costume."
The dress cube in the cage said uneasily.
“Except for the employment agency, all other information cannot be identified.
If you don't see the figure in front of you with your own eyes, you can close your eyes and use your magic power to perceive it, and you won't be able to sense it at all.
It seems that this person’s breath blocking ability is definitely above A level..."
"I am Sakura, the one who summoned you. Now let me make it clear that I am the one who intends to destroy the Holy Grail. If you have any objections to this, or you have a need for the Holy Grail or a wish to be fulfilled, then, I can use the command spell to send you back now to avoid unnecessary disputes..."
Sakura opened the skylight and spoke openly.
She does not want to forcefully dominate her followers, and if the randomly summoned followers do not match her intentions, then she is willing to respect the other party's wishes and let the other party go back to where they came from.
"Little girl, you are an interesting Master.
Coincidentally, the old man himself has no need for the Holy Grail.
He is probably a suitable servant for you, so he was summoned by you and appeared in this era. "
"Then, as my companion in fighting together in the future, how should I call you...old man?"
"My real name has been forgotten long ago, but you can call me... The Old Man of the Mountain."
King Hassan, the former crowned assassin who was summoned for unknown reasons, said this.
Weber coughed a few times, not because of anything else, but because after the strange heroic spirit in front of him reported his name, the information he saw with his forensic eyes, Assassin's job introduction, was directly recognized by the "Old Man of the Mountain" replace.
It’s outrageous to use your name as a proxy for employment!
. . . .
The Asakami family arrived in Kanfuko City the next day.
A group of bodyguards wearing sunglasses found the place at dawn and broke in through the door.
Asagami Fujino, who was wearing pajamas, was a little confused, so he was taken aside by a bodyguard-looking person calling Miss.
A bodyguard also took a square bag and stepped forward.
Asakami Fujino's stepfather took the bag and spoke directly to the man who seemed to be living with his stepdaughter in a condescending manner, using the courtesy of an upper-class person.
"Thank you for your concern for my daughter, but now I still have to ask you to leave, and please never approach my daughter again."
"In return, here is 10 million yen. I think it is quite enough whether it is used as a payment for your care for my daughter or as a breakup fee between you and my daughter."
The man had no intention of giving others a chance to explain, and he just kept talking to himself as soon as he appeared.
As for Wu Ke, he had no intention of explaining. On the contrary, he took the money bag handed over to him very naturally. He even reached deep into it and took out a stack of large banknotes worth 10,000 yuan. The scene was like It's like doing human trafficking where you pay one hand and deliver the goods, but you just count the money directly.
As a messenger of justice, although he doesn't care about other people's gratitude, if someone insists on giving him some currency notes used in this strange country in this strange world, he will not refuse.
"I have changed my opinion of you. I thought you were not very good as her stepfather, but now it seems that you are still very generous."
Wu Ke praised the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man just snorted, looked at him with some disdain, turned around and prepared to leave with his daughter.
"I'm a little worried about her, so I'll go with her to have a look..."
Later, Wu Ke said this and was about to follow, but was stopped by two expressionless strong bodyguards who raised their hands.
Of course, it wasn't really possible to stop him, they just raised their hands and Wu Ke stopped in time.
"The head of the family told you to stop pestering our eldest lady. If you don't let us, let us give you a good look."
"By the way, does your head of the family really value his daughter? I saved her from a bad guy with ill intentions last night."
Wu Ke inquired about the situation with two bodyguards.
Hearing this, the two bodyguards who stopped him looked at each other, and one of them laughed unkindly.
"You bad guy with bad intentions. I think you are the only one with bad intentions. I don't know what means you used to get close to the eldest lady..."
"However, if you want to use this to become the son-in-law of the Asakami family, you'd better think better. The eldest lady has an incurable disease, and the head of the family will not allow any outsiders to pick her up and take advantage of the Asakami family."
Another bodyguard also said mockingly.
Wu Ke: "..."
He couldn't understand the brain circuits of the two guys in front of him. Why did he think that he, who just met Asakami Fujino last night, wanted to be the son-in-law of that chicken Asakami's family? He didn't understand how all this was deduced. .
However, this is not important. What is important is that Wu Ke got a piece of information: Asagami Fujino seemed to have an incurable disease in their mouths...
But how is this possible? It's just appendicitis, inflammation in a part of the spine, and after he observed it for a night, he found that it has not spread. This is an incurable and terminal disease?
Watching the somewhat arrogant Asagami family at the window, all leaving in four black cars, Wu Ke thought for a while, then flew out of the window and hung in the sky behind to track the people below. He wanted to do something He knew exactly what was going on in the family of this girl Asakami Fujino.
. . . .
"Where are we going, Father?"
In the car, Asakami Fujino, who was sitting opposite, asked.
However, she followed the trend throughout the whole process without any resistance.
"Don't worry, we are going to the hospital. Yesterday, when you called to say you were sick, your mother and I were very worried about you.
Of course, what I'm more worried about is that the strange man next to you may do something inappropriate to you, so I rushed here with people overnight. "
"That's not a strange man, that's the strange Mr. SB. He's not a bad guy, but a just person. He helped me enthusiastically yesterday."
Asagami Fujino told the truth.
"Many men are smooth-talking creatures. Don't be deceived by their handsome appearance. He may just be lusting after your body.
Fujino, you look very similar to your mother. They are both very beautiful people. Their curvy bodies are highly attractive to any man. Therefore, never underestimate their desire and malice towards you. …”
Asakami Fujino's stepfather said very reasonably, like a good father who was educating his daughter not to fall in love prematurely.
