When the Sand Sculpture Trial Comes to Yokohama

Ever since Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm was picked up by Minan Rinka, Tohsaka Tokiomi had no choice but to enter a state of standing still.And Gilgamesh himself has been wandering around Fuyuki City in a spirit form for the past few days, and even Tohsaka Tokiomi, who is the master, has difficulty getting a glimpse of the King of Heroes' emotions.

Retrieving the treasure and restoring the strength of the King of Heroes is the top priority.So in these two days, Tosaka Tokiomi used all the family's intelligence network, and finally discovered the news that the King of Heroes' treasure was secretly auctioned online.

The organizer of the auction is extremely mysterious. The customers participating in the auction range from political and business tycoons to underworld organizations, but no one knows the real identity of the organizer. They only know that every time the auction starts, there must be rare treasures.

If the auction ends, won't the treasure of the King of Heroes be scattered to every corner of Japan?Then it will be hard to find.Tohsaka Tokiomi was in a hurry, quickly registered a trumpet, mortgaged a lot of gems, and finally squeezed into the auction.

After entering the auction room, Tosaka Tokiomi immediately recognized that all the dozens of treasures belonged to Gilgamesh.

Tohsaka's family has a big business, and they even play gem magic when playing magic. Just throw a lot of colorful gems, and use alchemy to make more when they are used up.Right now, Tosaka Tokiomi decided, he felt no pressure to take this batch of treasures, and he could re-dedicate the treasures to the King of Heroes, so that he could change his opinion of himself a little bit.

So after the auction started, Tosaka Tokiomi bid faster and more aggressively than anyone else...

A strange account appeared in the middle of the offer to disgust him from time to time.This account often appears when Tosaka Tokiomi’s quotation has already been surpassed. If he quotes 800 million, that account will quote 1000 million; if he quotes [-] million, which account will quote [-] million... ...but that's not the problem.

That account only increased the price by tens of thousands each time, and the owner of the account was obviously not someone with a lot of money. He often competed with him for the same treasure three or five times before losing.Successive bidding victories made Tohsaka Tokiomi feel refreshed in his heart, and he made repeated attempts to buy all the treasures that appeared at the auction.

Seeing the auction success notifications popping up constantly on the computer, Tohsaka Tokiomi clenched the mouse and sneered.

So what if someone wants to compete with him?The background of the family of magicians is not so easy to catch up with.

……

"I used the trumpet to make Tokiomi spend millions more, hey!" Minan Rinka said cheerfully in the Yokohama Kokuro Building.

Mori Ogai was on the sidelines monitoring the progress of the auction. Hearing Minan Rinka's words, he couldn't help but fall silent.

[System prompt: Mori Ogai's palpitation value +233]

"You are too bad..." Higuchi Ichiyo, who was busy at the side, couldn't hold back his words.

"Yes, why are there such bad people in the world?" Michizo Tachihara felt that he couldn't stand it.

"I feel like this when I fuck mafia..." Silver nodded sullenly.

"Hehe..." Minan Rinhua was unhappy, "It's as if you Hong Kong gangsters didn't make money from this auction...don't take the money if you think it's dirty."

[System prompt: Higuchi Ichiyo's palpitation value +...]

After excluding the commissions and handling fees of the port mafia, the money from this treasure auction will go into the accounts of Minan Rinka and the Rider team in proportion.After the auction, Minan Rinka saw that Iskandar also took an envelope from Mori Ogai.

"What's that?" She asked curiously.

The King of Conquerors took out the contents of the envelope and showed it in front of Minan Rinka: it was forged by the port mafia, Iskandar's ID card and passport, and a newly issued bank card.

"Rider felt that if he didn't have a certificate, it would be inconvenient to be active in modern society. It happened that Mr. Mori from Hong Kong and Heilongjiang asked about the account, and after learning that Rider didn't have an account, he offered to help, so we entrusted Mr. Mori to apply for Rider's certificate. Weber was quite happy, "I think the service attitude of the people in this company is very enthusiastic, and I can cooperate with them again in the future..."

"This company?" Minan Rinhua was taken aback.

It occurred to her that she hadn't explained to the hapless boy Webb what the Port Mafia really did.So Minan Rinka asked curiously, "What did Mori Ogai tell you?"

"He said that this is a company responsible for safekeeping and auctioning valuables. Its full name is 'Port Auction Insurance Company'." Weber obviously had a very good impression of Hong Kong Black, "Mr. Sen also gave me his personal phone number, Said to call him if there is any entrustment in the future."

Hearing this, Minan Rinka turned her head to look at Mori Ogai who was looking at the auction record not far away.

Ogai Mori could obviously hear the conversation between Rinka Minan and Weber, but he flipped through the auction records and pretended not to hear.

Minan Rinka couldn't hold back her words: "Port Auction Insurance Company? Or why don't you just say you are the Yokohama Stock Exchange?"

[System prompt: Mori Ogai's palpitation value +55]

***

The auction has ended, and the Rider team still plans to return to Fuyuki on Hong Kong Black's private plane, while Minan Rinka is going back to Honmaru to catch up on sleep, and has to go to school the next day.

Before leaving, Weber suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Minan Linhua: "By the way, are you planning to do the mission of the Holy Church? You didn't even send the familiars there, so you don't plan to do this mission?"

"What task?" Minan Rin was a little confused for a while.She has only learned magic for a few days, and she still doesn't know how to summon familiars. She doesn't even know that the Church of the Holy Church has issued another mission.

After Weber explained the cause and effect to Minan Rinka, she understood what happened during the day.

Tracing back to the root, all these things started because of Caster Gilles de Ray.The night before, after he was hit twice by a car on the winding mountain road, he patted the dirt on his body to get up, and finally realized something.

Although the heroic spirit sitting in the car has an appearance comparable to Joan of Arc, it is not Joan of Arc herself.

[System prompt: Gilles de Lei's palpitation value +999]

[System prompt: Gilles de Lei's palpitation value +999]

[System prompt: Gilles de Lei's palpitation value +...]

After standing still and brushing out tens of thousands of heart palpitation points for Minan Rinka, Gilles de Rai, who had experienced ups and downs, returned to the magic workshop he built.

After such a disturbance, Gilles de Ray realized that more than ever she wanted to see Joan of Arc.For this reason, he resumed his old profession during his lifetime—living human sacrifice.

Before dawn.In the hours before dawn, the out-of-control Gilles de Raisi used magic to abduct nearly twenty children. It wasn't until dawn that the tortoise retreated to his magic workshop and began to prepare for the sacrifice ceremony.

The new Supervisor of the Holy Grail War who happened to replace Yan Feng Rizheng was a relatively more upright priest.Since he arrived in Fuyuki City the day before, he has been working non-stop to supervise, and naturally noticed Caster's abnormality.

So in the afternoon, he announced to the familiars of each family the new orders of the Holy Church—that is, to crusade against the out-of-control Caster and prevent him from carrying out sacrificial activities that have nothing to do with the Holy Grail War.

The master who contributed in the process of defeating Caster can be rewarded by the church afterwards and get a new command spell.And Weber still attaches great importance to the self-cultivation of the Master, so the permanent familiar stays in the Holy Church to receive the notification, and naturally he also learned the news.

……

"...I thought you didn't plan to participate." Weber said, "Looking at the joy when you and Kariya Matou gave the Command Seals, I think you don't seem to care much about the Command Seals..."

Minan Rinka thought for a while and asked, "How many familiars were there at that time?"

"Counting mine, there are four familiars." Weber recalled, "The other three should come from the masters of Saber, Lancer and Archer."

Although not interested in the prizes offered by the Church of the Holy Church, Gilles de Rai's behavior of harming the children touched Minan Rinka's nerves.

Originally, she planned to reduce the damage caused by the Holy Grail War to the city. At the same time, because of her past experience, Minan Rinka could not see anyone hurting the child.

Anyway, she has already decided to establish the second branch of the sword office in Fuyuki City, and the task of crusading Caster is just an opportunity to make the sword office famous, and she will not miss it.

This will be the first step for the Touken Office to lay a foundation in Fuyuki City.

***

After boarding the private plane back to Fuyuki City, Minan Rinka edited the leave request email without saying a word.

The mission to defeat Caster was announced in the afternoon, and there are still three hours before dawn. When she and Rider's team went to Yokohama to sell treasures, there might be other Masters and Heroic Spirits already eyeing Caster.

Minan Rinka felt that the only ones who could hunt Caster now were the Saber and Archer groups.After all, she and Emiya Kiritsugu blocked the Lancer team to death in the hotel the night before...

It's just that the wound on Saber's hand has not healed yet, Archer has been picked up by her a lot of treasures, the masters of both sides are afraid, the crusade against Caster should not end overnight.

Sure enough, after returning to Fuyuki City, Minan Rinka found that the night was peaceful, without any major battles.So without saying a word, she summoned all the short knives in the pill.

Didn't damn Gilles de Ray try to abduct children?Then she will give him a fishing law enforcement...

The white light of spiritual power flickered in the alley, and the short knives in the main pill responded to the call one after another.Soon, the alley was filled with a group of chattering little daggers.

"General, what's the plan for us to come to Fuyuki City suddenly?" Yaken Toshiro pressed the body knife on his waist, and moved forward savagely, making a slight sound when the armor on his body rubbed against each other.

Following his voice, the little knives became quiet one after another, looking up at Minan Rinhua with their small faces raised.

Minan Rinka cleared her throat.

"I think everyone has noticed that this time, only short knives are the only ones who come to Fuyuki City." She said, "This is because only short knives are suitable for this job."

"Fuyuki City will be the location of the second branch of our sword office. And tonight is the time when the sword office will start the first battle here." While speaking, Minan Rinka took out the drawing she had drawn on the plane. Caster’s diagram, “Right now, in Fuyuki City, there is a living heroic spirit who is abducting children because of the Holy Grail War, and wants to perform living sacrifices. And your purpose is to fish for law enforcement, disguise as ordinary children, and find out what he has done before. Where are the children abducted overnight hiding, and then beat them back to the Seat of Heroes."

"Oh!" The daggers raised their hands excitedly.

The short knives are all wearing battle uniforms, and most of the combat uniforms are designed so that they don't look like ordinary children.Minan Rinka took them to the supermarket that was still closed, and bought regular uniforms for the daggers whose formation uniforms were too conspicuous.Ranto Shiro wears women's clothes as usual, Sayo Samono wears a baseball uniform, Kenshin Keiko wears a shirt and overalls...

The military uniforms of the Awataguchi family must all be changed.But when it was time to switch to Yaken Toshiro, Minan Rinka hesitated.

"Yakuken, you can't just change your clothes," Minan Rinka patted Yaken Toshiro's shoulder, "Just your magnetic bass, if you pretend to be a little boy, you will probably be overwhelmed as soon as you open your mouth." You are more like a child's father than a child..."

Yaken Toshiro was stunned.Is this the rhythm for him to play his brother's father?Is he that old?

[System prompt: Yaoken Fujishiro's palpitation value +169]

"Otherwise, why don't you try to speak with your throat?" Xiao Hua came up with a bad idea from the side.

Yaken Toshiro hesitated for a moment, and tried to press his throat to speak: "Is that so, General?"

Minan Rinhua was stunned, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "Just now, you changed from father to 'mother who used to be father'..."

Yaken Toshiro was in a bad mood at the time: Is this because even the gender has changed, but the age has not changed?

[System prompt: Yaoken Fujishiro's palpitation value +200]

"If it doesn't work, just try not to talk." Minan Rinka found a T-shirt and shorts and put it on for Shiro Kento, "There are so many short knives, you may not be the one who meets Caster..."

……

Half an hour later, Yaken Toshiro in the alley looked at the big-eyed Gilles de Ray and fell silent.

This is really which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted!

[System prompt: Yaoken Fujishiro's palpitation value +400]

Yaken Toshiro knew very well that as soon as he opened his mouth, the "thick and magnetic bass" would make Caster in front of him realize something was wrong.Once the other party realizes that someone is fishing and law enforcement in the urban area, they will definitely be more careful in their next actions, and may even kill all the children caught the night before and move their positions.

He must not let this happen.So Yaken Toshiro didn't speak, and looked up at Gilles de Ray, who could even see a trace of melancholy in his eyes...

Gilles de Ray: "???"

Caster raised his hand to cover his lips and cleared his throat, but when he opened his mouth, he still made a weird and strange tone: "Have you separated from your parents? What a poor child..."

Yaken Toshiro looked at him with dead eyes, but didn't speak.

Gilles de Ray saw that the child did not respond, neither frightened nor happy that he had found a grown-up, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled what he thought was kind: "It's dangerous to be outside alone at night, why don't you go with uncle and me?"

Yaken Toshiro still didn't speak, just looked at him silently.

Gilles de Rai raised his hand, and the strange light in his hand flashed away.It was magic that made people lose their minds and obey his orders.

"Let's go." After the lights went out, he said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yaken Toshiro walk out of the alley as soon as he raised his leg.

He walked a few steps and found that Gilles de Ray was still standing there, so he turned his head and looked at him, his eyes filled with "Didn't you say go? Why are you standing there? Are you stupid?".

Caster felt that he could see a trace of dislike in the child's eyes...

[System prompt: Gilles de Lei's palpitation value +100]

How can you despise him after being enchanted?Gilles de Ray felt that something was wrong, but when he looked carefully again, the disgust in Yaken Toshiro's eyes had disappeared, and he looked at him with a dead expression again.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with it?

So Gilles de Ray took Yaken Toshiro and left the alley.He walked all the way forward, and soon saw another petite figure in front of the closed dessert shop.The child had long hair fluttering and looked like a girl.

The prey appeared again.Seeing this, Gilles de Rai led Yaken Toshiro towards the dessert shop.

It's getting closer... it's getting closer.By the moonlight, Gilles de Ray gradually saw the people in front of the dessert shop clearly.I saw that it was a girl with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a lace skirt, sitting in front of the steps of the dessert shop, staring at the menu posted on the glass window.

Seemingly hearing the sound behind her, the girl turned her head and met Gilles de Ray's gaze.

Gilles de Ray smiled what he thought was kind at the girl, and then saw the girl burst out laughing.

——Ranto Shiro was sitting in front of the dessert shop looking at the menu, wondering if he should play nice with the lord and ask her to treat everyone to a dessert after the shop opened.As a result, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Gilles de Ray, and behind him, Yaken Toshiro with a look of lovelessness.

When changing clothes, Minan Rinka's evaluation of Yakuken Toshiro's voice was also heard by Ranto Shiro who was present at the time.Seeing that Yaken Toshiro was actually the first person to meet Caster in the dagger, Rantoshiro couldn't help laughing.

[System prompt: Yaoken Fujishiro's palpitation value +233]

Gilles de Rais was a little dazed, wondering why Ranto Shiro was suddenly laughing.But he also opened his mouth, the smile on his face deepened, and he once again released a magic trick that could affect the mind of a child.

It's just that Caster's magic is effective for ordinary children, but it has no effect when it comes to Token Fusangshin.In terms of age, both Yaken Toshiro and Ranto Shiro were swords forged in the [-]th century, while Gilles de Ray was born in the [-]th century, logically they should be called grandpa...

Seeing this, Ranto Shiro subconsciously glanced at Yaken Toshiro.

There were a few words clearly written in Yaken Toshiro's eyes: Pretend to be controlled by his magic.

Just fake it.Rantoshiro stood up, bouncing towards Yaken Toshiro.

Gilles de Ray felt more and more wrong: the boy was a little drifting.I asked her to follow me, but I didn't let her follow me bouncing around?

He turned his head and stared at Ranto Shiro for a while, but he didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the child.

Come on, Gilles de Ray went on with the two pocket knives.He was quite happy in his heart, and felt that he was lucky to meet two children as soon as he went out today.

Little did he know, he didn't meet any kids tonight...

Gilles de Ray continued on, followed by Yaken Toshiro and Ranto Shiro.

After walking two blocks, soon, the two small knives following Gilles de Ray sensed the breath of their companions.

That is Toshiro Maeda.After the knives dispersed, Maeda Toshiro has been wandering around the block.Now he is sitting on a tree by the side of the road, occupying a high place to observe.

After seeing Maeda Toshiro, the two Toshiro who followed were quite happy.While Gilles de Ray wasn't paying attention, Ranto Shiro secretly waved at the tree.

But soon, they found that Gilles de Ray passed the tree without looking sideways, and walked forward without even giving Toshiro Maeda a look.

After realizing this, the two short knives suddenly gritted their teeth: their concealment ability at night is too good, so they should hide in high places.No, Gilles de Ray didn't find Toshiro Maeda on the tree at all.

But soon, Ranto Shiro made a decision.He waved at his brother on the tree in various ways, beckoning him to come over.

Maeda Toshiro hesitantly got down from the tree, fully activated the night combat ability of the dagger, and just followed behind...

At the same time, Gilles de Ray continued to walk forward, not realizing that there was another person in the line behind him...

***

On the other side, after Minan Rinka sent the short knives to fish for law enforcement, she also summoned Assassin Hassan Sabah.

Her purpose is only one, and that is to let Hassan Sabah look for the traces of other masters and servants, and then let her Xiaohua stop them, so as to prevent other masters and servants from affecting the actions of the short knives.

Soon, the assassin who was good at stealth brought information to Minan Rinka: Lancer and his master were still trapped in the hotel, and Archer's master hurried out to the port. When it arrives, he goes to receive it.And Saber's master is currently lurking near the police station with her female assistant, observing the situation in the station.

As for rider Iskandar, after knowing that Minan Rinka wanted to deal with Caster, he held back temporarily, presumably to repay her favor and let her make the first move.

Hearing this, Minan Rinka quickly determined that Emiya Kiritsugu was the one most likely to compete with her for the head.

So Minan Rinka dialed the teleportation compass and arrived near the Fuyuki City Police Station.

She walked towards the police station, thinking of a way to stop Emiya Kiritsugu, when she suddenly saw a man in a black windbreaker squatting in the shadow of the building ahead.

Isn't that Emiya Kiritsugu?

Emiya Kiritsugu just turned his back to the surveillance camera, pretending to be tying his shoelaces.But from Minan Rinka's perspective, it was clear that Emiya Kiritsugu was messing with something against the wall of the police station.

What a coincidence.

Emiya Kiritsugu was very serious about tinkering, and he didn't realize that he had become the praying mantis catching the cicada with the oriole behind him.And Minan Rinhua held her breath, walked around behind him lightly, and stood not far away to observe secretly...

……

Ever since Minan Rinka broke the news at the logistics center that Caster's master had entered the police station, Emiya Kiritsugu focused on the police station.

Otherwise, the hearts of people who learn magic are dirty. Emiya Kiritsugu knew that within the scope of the Holy Grail War, no matter how big a disturbance the participants made, there would be people from the Holy Church who would take care of the aftermath, so he even broke into the police. He didn't care about the police station or anything, so he and his assistant Hisau Maiya ambushed near the police station with a gun.

After a day of reconnaissance, Emiya Kiritsugu roughly understood where the prisoner was being held.He has already created a new plan, which is to use magic to trigger the siren in the police station in the early hours of the morning when the number of police officers on duty in the police station is the least, forcing the police to bring out the temporarily detained prisoners, and use sniper shots from a distance. 〇 The gun killed him with one shot.

The aftermath will be left to the Holy Church to clean up.

Thinking in this way, Emiya Kiritsugu hid his gun and walked towards the police station pretending to be a passerby.

When passing the wall of the police station, he bent down and pretended to tie his shoelaces. In fact, he avoided the surveillance cameras and secretly buried a simple blasting magic circle in the wall of the police station.This magic formation is one of the simplest formations and can be completed in a very short time.

There happened to be a smoke alarm on the ceiling across the wall.When the blasting magic circle is activated, the smoke generated will definitely be detected by the smoke alarm.At that point, the fire alarm is sounded, and the police and prisoners will evacuate immediately.

Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu straightened up, gathered his black coat, turned and left.

He walked all the way forward, turned the corner and disappeared at the end of the street.

About ten seconds later, Minan Rinka came over silently.

She looked at the wall: Oh, isn't this the blasting magic circle she tried with Matou Kariya's desk when she first got the magic textbook?

She recalled the method of cracking the blasting magic circle in the book, and casually untied the blasting magic circle that Emiya Kiritsugu buried in the wall...
