I'm not really evil

Late at night, Fuyuki City.

Somewhere at the end of a quiet street.

Elegantly dressed, a man and a woman with a full front face wandered here solemnly.

"How is it, Kenneth. Have you found the reason?" Sola Nazelle Sophialie stood aside with her arms around her shoulders, looking at her fiancé who tattooed a magic circle on the ground, her cadenced voice was full of urging and anxious.

[Clock Tower] The daughter of the Minister of the Spiritual Division, she is a beauty with flaming red hair. At this time, her awe-inspiring temperament like a queen is mixed with some indescribable tenderness.She whispered: "I believe in Lancer's ability and loyalty. It is impossible for him to leave the battle without making a sound, nor is it possible for him to disappear without prior notice. He must have fallen into the enemy's trap!"

Compared to the fiancée who was eagerly asking for the result, Kenneth's expression was much calmer.

As a magician who showed rare magic talent in his youth, a genuine genius magician, he naturally has enough magic skills to know everything that happened here before.

Kenneth took the most precise but slightly time-consuming method.

After a while, the magic circle shone brightly under his singing, and in the dim light, everything that happened during the day quickly reappeared in front of the two of them like a fleeting shadow.

Sora shut his mouth, and Kenneth and Kenneth stared intently at everything in front of them.

From the appearance of the little girl with black hair and red eyes, to being harassed by gangsters, to Lancer's uncontrollable appearance...

Finally, when Lancer fell down inexplicably and a thin man with a hood picked him up, both of them were outraged!

Sola: "What a despicable method! Is it too gentle and kind to bully Lancer!"

"Ignorant guy! He was only immersed in the so-called chivalry, so that he fell into such a ridiculous trap! Did he realize it? This is the Holy Grail War!" The Servant summoned by the relic couldn't help being even more dissatisfied.

"You can't blame him, can you? After all, Diarmuid, who is a knight, has such a noble character. Aren't you very clear about this, Kenneth?" Sola couldn't hear his fiancé's reprimand, and snorted lightly. When that young and beautiful face faced him, it had an indifferent temperament as cold as ice and snow, "The one who should be punished, isn't it the despicable person who set up this trap? Kenneth, go find him quickly, Take our Servant back!"

Kenneth was silent for a moment, looking at his fiancée who was more ardent than himself, he suddenly had the urge not to rescue Lancer.

He is not a fool, even if he is very infatuated with Sola, he can vaguely feel that this ice and snow beauty has a completely different attitude towards himself and Lancer.

"What's the matter?" The expression on Sola's face became gentler, those beautiful eyes were fixed on the blond man, and his tone seemed to be complimenting and provocative, "Or is it the youngest member of the Jiangling Division?" Lecturer, you are also one of the Twelve Monarchs of the Clock Tower, and you, whose talents are rare in the world, can't you do this?"

"Hmph, Sola. Just watch the grand performance I'm about to bring." Kenneth snorted, "Look at me, how did I rescue that useless Servant who kept saying he wanted to protect me?" !"

Through the figure of the man in the hood and the exposed half of his face in the magic, Kenneth quickly found out the man's true identity from the relevant information of the pre-war investigation.

"Matou Kariya? Poor magic aptitude, an incompetent person who started practicing magic a year ago. Is such a person worthy of being selected by the Holy Grail to compete with me?"

There was unconcealed displeasure in the man's eyes.

"Having said that, you can't underestimate him." Sola reminded, "It's just such a small person, sometimes he will be even more unscrupulous."

"It seems that he is a villain with a deep mind. No matter what, the Matou family is also one of the three royal families that founded the Holy Grail War. I will remain vigilant."

Kenneth took a test tube out of his pocket.

A mass of flowing mercury seemed to be alive, rippling back and forth in the test tube.

Jian Tongyan was kicked out of the house late at night.

Just like the past few days, he was at will by the wayward witch.

Just because this kind of thing happened more than once, Matou Kariya didn't notice anything wrong when facing Medea's meaningful smiling face before leaving.

Finding enough hemp rope from the convenience store that the witch specified, Matou Kariya ignored the clerk's eyes that were not quite right, looking like a pervert, pulled the hood to cover his face, and walked out.

After nightfall, Fuyuki City was eerily quiet.

Maybe it's because of the late-night serial killers on the news recently.

Before the rope in the convenience bag suddenly stretched out like life and wrapped around his neck, Matou Kariya didn't notice anything wrong.

"This is... the enemy..." Kariya Matou grasped the activated rope tightly tied around his neck with both hands, his eyes trembled, and a weak stream of water flowed out of his hands. Kariya spent a full minute , Turning the water into ice, then tearing apart the broken rope, lying on the ground coughing continuously.

"Third-rate, no, it can be said that it is not a first-rate level of magic. With this level, you dare to do something to my Servant?" A piece of dark blue clothes appeared in front of Kariya's eyes, and the owner of the clothes said in a contemptuous tone One sentence, "Let me teach you a truth, Matou Kariya-kun. Don't provoke me casually, a magician who is much stronger than you!!"

Although he felt that he had to be vigilant before, Kenneth didn't bother to use the magic dress he was proud of when facing this weakling who couldn't even resist a mere activation magic.He casually grabbed a gemstone in his pocket and threw it out. The fire-attributed ruby ​​was activated by magic power, and the moment it fell on Matou Kariya, the fire completely enveloped him!

"Ahhhhhhhh—" Matou Kariya screamed in the fire.So far, he hadn't even seen his opponent's appearance clearly, and he was attacked to pieces.

The opponent is a magician who is many times stronger than himself.

This cognition was deeply rooted in Matou Kariya's heart, he gritted his teeth, and without thinking about it, he immediately activated the command spell on the back of his hand.

"Use Command Seals, Medea, come to me!"

In the living room of Matou's house, Medea, who was sitting on the sofa, frowning and watching the picture in the crystal ball, suddenly disappeared into the air.

A strong wave of magic power came.

Kenneth, who thought the matter was over, stopped, his blue eyes watched with great interest the slender and slender figure that suddenly appeared with a white light.

The woman in the purple and black cloak, with her thin lips and pointed chin revealing purple lip gloss, looked extremely mysterious, allowing Kenneth to immediately confirm her class.

The first time Medea appeared, she snapped her fingers.

The flame burning on Matou Kariya's body was extinguished.

Immediately afterwards, Medea quickly chanted a mantra, and a green light of vitality began to flicker on Matou Kariya's body.

"...Caster..." Kariya, who regained some consciousness, immediately said, "Be careful, this guy's magic is very high!"

"Kariya, you useless idiot!" Medea scolded mercilessly, "Who are you telling me to be careful! Are you burnt out? Do you think there is anyone in this era who can master magic?" Overtake me?!"

"Caster (magician)?" Kenneth finally became interested, "Since he is a heroic spirit who has been engraved in history and legends, the level of magic should not disappoint me, right?"

Medea's eyes under the cloak cast her eyes on the noble young man with an extraordinary temperament. She raised her chin slightly and said in an arrogant tone: "Stop talking big. My magic is taught by the goddess herself, and it is not in the same dimension as you! "

An all-rounder in modern magic who is talented in all kinds of magic and has never encountered a bottleneck, and a goddess Hecate who studied magic and the underworld. In the next second, the enchantment was unfolded in unison.

Isolated from the prying and interruption of outsiders, a magnificent and wonderful magic duel took place in the secret darkness.

Kariya Matou was the only witness.

This young man who has learned magic for less than a year and whose aptitude can be called mediocre, couldn't help being dazzled when he witnessed the wonderful battle in front of him.

However, the gap in talent is still obvious.After counting 10 minutes, Medea, who drained all the fresh magic she wanted to see from Kenneth, launched a real counterattack mercilessly.

Even if Kenneth used the magic dress that he was most proud of [Moon Essence Essence], it would pale in comparison to the witches of the Age of Gods.

At the end of the battle, the man who had never experienced defeat and setbacks in his life finally lowered his proud head.

There was frustration and loss in his eyes, but there was no resignation.

"You let me see a higher landscape. You are worthy of being a witch in the Age of Gods." Kenneth's arrogance made him admit his defeat in this fair duel.

"Now, you can take my life." The man said with relief.

Even though he never expected to encounter defeat in such a remote and exotic land, Kenneth felt that it would not be unacceptable if the opponent was a legendary heroic magician who had surpassed the times.

"Hmph, you're pretty good, right?" Medea didn't kill her, she looked down at the man in front of her, her thin lips with purple lip gloss slightly curled up, and said with a little appreciation, "There is still you in this era." Such a talented guy doesn't count as disappointing me. There is no need to be ashamed of losing to me, you can raise your head up and admit your strength."

"Really." Kenneth showed a rare smile, "It is also my honor to be recognized by you, Her Royal Highness Princess of Colchis."

Just relying on the information revealed by Medea himself, Kenneth has already locked the real identity of the other party.

Jiantong Yanye looked at the two of them sympathetically, thinking that he might have been beaten for nothing.

"Caster... Are you sure you just let him go like this?" Matou Kariya asked with a frown, remembering Lancer who was captured by them.

"Hmph, I almost forgot about you. Kenneth, although this guy is a useless master, but he was injured like this by you, it can't be regarded as nothing happened." Medea looked at Kenneth, then at Yan Yan At night, he couldn't help showing disdain for his useless master.

The talent of these two people in magic can be described as very different.Why did Kariya, a dog, become her Master?You must know that because Kariya's magic power is too low, too many of her methods are restricted.

"Although I really want to apologize, but you started the matter first, right?" Kenneth was quite talkative after the defeat, "Of course, what do you want me to do as the price that the loser should pay? It's not too much Anything, I can promise you."

"Hmph, let me think about it." Medea tapped her chin with her slender fingertips, pretended to ponder for a moment, and said with a smile, "Then give me your Servant as a trophy."

Kenneth raised his eyebrows: "I don't quite understand. Didn't you already snatch that guy?"

"Well, that man is very stubborn. After he woke up, I found out that he is a dead-headed fool. Without the approval of you, the old master, we might not be able to really have him."

When Kenneth heard that, his expression was a bit complicated: "Hmph, anyway, it's some kind of chivalry nonsense. This guy is useless to me. If this is what you want, I will explain it to him. "

Kenneth could accept losing his life for losing the duel.But if he could exchange his life with Lancer, whom he didn't want at all, he would be more than happy.

Several people were transferred to Matou's house, and Kenneth announced in front of Lancer that he would transfer allegiance.

And the loyal knight, under the pressure of the master's life and orders, could only bow his head and obey Kenneth's last order as the master.

Hotaru, who had already fallen asleep with Sakura, was gently carried out by Medea.

Hotaru opened her sleepy eyes, and Medea raised her small hand with a strange expression on her face.

Lancer, the knight whose real name was Diarmuid Audina, looked at the little girl in front of him with a face full of incomprehensible words.

He didn't forget who he was tricked by in the first place.

After being caught here, he never saw the little girl.Originally thought that she was just a bait for Caster and his master's subordinates, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

"Such a small child, are you sure she has enough magic power to make Lancer?" Kenneth also felt a little puzzled.

A large number of concealment spells that Medea cast on Hotaru seemed to be quite effective.

"Of course, she is our trump card." With a gentle smile, Medea hugged the drowsy Yingying, and led her to make a master-slave contract with Diarmuid.

From this moment on, among the seven knights in the Holy Grail War, three knights have already stood in the same camp.

After Kenneth signed an inviolable mandatory confidentiality contract with Medea, he took his fiancée back to China by private jet that night, and withdrew from the Holy Grail War ahead of schedule.

Although he didn't get the honor he wanted, he communicated with the magician of the Age of Gods. Kenneth's superb talent allowed him to gain a lot in this battle.As for the fiancée's quarrel and shouting, while it made him a little sad, he couldn't help but rejoice that that indiscriminate Servant was also left in Fuyuki, and would no longer interfere with his and Sora's future lives.

Templar Church, crypt.

Kotomine Kirei sat in the liaison room, passing the information he had obtained to his teacher through a magic device.

"Although the specific process is blocked by the barrier, what is certain is that Lancer's master has withdrawn from this war. It was Matou Kariya and his follower, Caster, who defeated him."

"It can repel the head of the Archibald family from [Clock Tower]. It seems that Kariya's growth is beyond my imagination." Tohsaka Tokiomi's elegant voice came from the other end of the phonograph.

"The first time I captured Lancer with a little girl as bait, and the second time I used myself as bait to attract Lancer's master who came after him, and then summoned Caster with Command Spells to deal with the opponent." Kotomine Kirei commented, "A very effective strategy. Teacher, Matou Kariya's methods cannot be underestimated."

"Well, Kariya would actually use that kind of despicable tactics, which is beyond my expectation." Tosaka Tokiomi pondered for a moment, "I don't know what he went through, maybe the head of the Matou family intervened behind the scenes Not necessarily. In any case, Kariya can't be viewed from the same perspective as before."

"So far, we don't know how Lancer was knocked down. We haven't witnessed him actually exit." Kotomine Kirei reminded.

"I know. Kirei, keep Assassin's attention. It would be even better if you can infiltrate the Matou family's magic barrier and find out the inside information." Tosaka Tokiomi ordered.

"Understood." The tall young man cut off the communication with the teacher, ordered Assassin who was standing by to pass on the order, then turned and left the small dark room.

Matou Kariya.

Thinking of this name, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Castle in the forest of Einzbern.

Emiya Kiritsugu held a battle meeting overnight.

"This is the surveillance footage captured in the commercial street of Fuyuki City." Emiya Kiritsugu said in a solemn tone, "Lancer's master has been dealt with within a very short period of time."

"His opponent looks like Caster?" Irisviel took the photo Kiritsugu handed over, looked at the black-robed woman opposite the blond young man, and said softly, "As the master, against the heroic spirit." Caster, it's no wonder they lost so quickly. Where did Lancer go?"

"Ari, have any servants left the stage so far?" Kiritsugu asked.

"No!" Irisviel said firmly.As the Little Holy Grail, if a heroic spirit loses, she can directly sense it.

"It seems that Caster captured him in advance." Kiritsugu said in a cold voice, "The reason why he was not killed is probably related to Caster's treasure. The possibility that Lancer was used by Caster cannot be ruled out. Hmph, Kariya Matou see It looks completely different from the data, and this is an opponent worthy of attention."

"However, fortunately, Saber's anti-magic power is very strong, and she will definitely gain an advantage in the battle with Caster." Irisviel said with an optimistic smile.

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced coldly at the King of Knights who was waiting by his side, and he said, "From this information, the other party is not the type to fight head-on. Be careful with their little moves. Caster with a position like this It is very suitable for plotting in the dark, and its attack power and lethality are stronger than Assassin."

Emiya Kiritsugu was not afraid of aboveboard opponents, but he was very wary of this type of conspiracy and calculation behind the scenes.

"From today onwards, focus on Matou Kariya's movements." He said solemnly.
