[Gun Bow] Fuyuki Four Battles, the second week!

For Servants, even if it is interpreted as the source of maintaining their illusory life, the magic power will not be exaggerated at all.The Servant, descended from the Heroic Spirit itself, was originally such an existence.

Let the Master support him for at least ten years for strategic needs, Emiya will not have the slightest psychological pressure.

It's a deal.

The Servant's force is goods, and the Master's mana is currency.

But once you incorporate the emotional factors that Emiya should sensibly avoid, the situation is different again.Don't talk about buying and selling, I am willing to settle for nothing!Eating and drinking for free and being a rice bug for ten years is something that Emiya can't do.After all, it was his father who was in charge of supporting him!

Even though Emiya knew very well in her heart, the Emiya family, which is equivalent to inheriting the entire inheritance of the Einzbern family, is indeed rich enough.

On the mysterious side, the magic power produced regularly by the existing magic power pool can afford to support three Servants without relying on the Holy Grail to support the Emiya family; and on the secular side, lastly, there is also the wealth accumulated by Kiritsugu when he was a magician killer... Not to mention that in the castle of Einzbern, Irisviel personally went to dig it out, which is very unsuitable for staying at home for a long time, but it is especially suitable as a holy relic or magic research material, and it can be sold at a high price thing.

That was the "cursed Rhine's Gold"—now it was suspected that it was one of the reasons why Einzbern repeatedly held a good hand of cards, but the Holy Grail War was a mess.

"Oh! It sounds really unfriendly to people with unlucky luck." Cu Chulainn responded casually, and Emiya's long hair, which Emiya never tires of, was tied up with a metal hair tie at the back of his head, and he swayed left and right following his movements.

Right now, he is wearing a vest, trousers, and an apron around his waist. He is skillfully wiping the tables and chairs that have been vacant all night with a rag, doing the last cleaning before starting business.

"What happened to that thing?"

"Sold it to a puppeteer. Even some of Einzbern's alchemy techniques." Emiya didn't understand it very well, so she simply said what she knew: "Kiritsugu is going to use them to exchange for one that can be used in five years. The Lesser Holy Grail, which is used in combat and has a higher priority. There are also some additional conditions..."

While talking, Emiya put the prepared cakes one by one into the display cabinet next to the counter that could keep the temperature low.There are black forest covered with chocolate shards, strawberry Daifuku with cute white and white powder shape, marble cake with beautiful texture, and mille-feuille cake with solid and dense taste... In short, all aspects of color, fragrance and flavor have been considered.

As long as the guests step into the door, it is not difficult to find a dessert that suits the taste.

Yes, Emiya and the others run an afternoon tea shop that mainly serves Western-style cakes and tea drinks. It opens at 01:30 pm and closes at 04:30 pm.

And in order to ensure that they can still make a profit with only this business hours, and at least subsidize their household, their business strategy is simple and clear, which is to follow the high-quality route of high-quality raw materials and extremely expensive prices.

Even so--

"Welcome. Are you two beauties?"

As usual, Cu Chulainn put on a professional smile as soon as the door opened for business, unscrupulously exuding the hormone of light, and greeted the young girls who seemed to be waiting nearby, waiting to open the door to be the first—look at the same dress as the two The uniform she wears seems to be that of a counter lady in a nearby department store.

"Five. There are three more who will arrive later." The one who made the conversation at first glance looked like a strong woman in the workplace, but now she answered the words, but she was a little shy.

I don't know that her real goal is the chic and handsome waiter brother who is right in front of her?Or the pastry chef behind the counter who makes people feel hard-edged?Maybe it's a little bit of both?

The snack bar has been open for more than a month, and this is already an inevitable part of the daily life of the duo Rider team outside of the public holiday.

She had a bold face before she was alive, and she dared to talk nonsense when she was in Luyu. To the opposite sex she met for the first time, she expressed her intention to "place a gun between two small hills on the plain". His Royal Highness, who has not yet been regarded as a pervert by the girl , and soon, with its amazing ability to adapt to the modern times, it turned countless female customers who discovered new stores and tried them into firm repeat customers and regular customers!

"...Irish bulldozer...tsk."

"Obviously I am very charming! Hey, does such a record bring you the pleasure of conquering?" Taking advantage of the gap between handing in the customer's order, Cu Chulainn whispered to his partner, "I am the one who conquers them, you Conquer my heart."

Emiya's reaction was very polarized, his ears flushed indistinctly, but his whole face sank.

"Hmph. Irish Bulldozer."

"Don't react like a little virgin... You are very skilled." Leaning forward, ear-attaching, teasing, licking, and running away, Cu Chulainn did it all in one quick move!

When Emiya grabbed the nearby mouse and was about to pull the wire and throw it as a concealed weapon, the man had already left the attack range with the menu and the new order list.

"Don't, don't be so angry. If you really get angry, I will take care of it when the business is over─how about just staying in the store?" Cu Chulainn said in a way similar to the master-slave contract link, sent in the form of words from.In other words, only Emiya heard this ambiguity.

"..."

The white-haired and brown-skinned Mr. Chef twitched his lips, and decided to change to a heavier mouse in a few days.On the premise of not attracting the attention of outsiders to the mystery, this is now used to "beat dogs"──even with enhanced magic, it is still too light.

……

"Jingle jingle."

The wind chime hanging on the side of the colored window shop door rang again.This means that when the store is full through the window, another customer comes in.

"Welcome." At a glance, Cu Chulainn was busy serving food. Emiya, who was standing behind the counter, showed a friendly smile, and naturally took over the work of greeting the guests.

──This is a tacit agreement and a custom.It’s not that you can’t take out pastries and tea drinks; their take-out business is also good, but there is no delivery service for the time being.

However, the first smile today only appeared on Emiya's face for less than three seconds!

Because that Mr. Priest, who was dressed in a dark clergyman's attire, completely ignored the observation and curious eyes of others, and walked straight to the counter calmly, his full name was Kotomine Kirei.

A person with abnormal personality who doesn't have a sweet tooth, and the red and blue heroic spirits don't think they have a common language.

Mr. Priest, who looks ascetic on the outside, doesn't care whether Emiya Kiritsugu's Servant welcomes him at all?Just as he didn't care at all about the mostly female customers in the store, and the strange attitude of seeing the priests stepping into the dessert room was like whispering, Kotomine Kirei would come here only because he had a need to come.

"What are you doing here?"

Even with the blue and black apron on the outside of the uniform in the shop, the thick chest muscles that have been trained for a long time still support the handsome silhouette of the heroic spirit on the chest. He frowned, lowered his voice, and asked as calmly as possible at the ordering counter in front of the cash register. He stopped, as if he really was a priest with a sudden craving for sweets.

"Oh. Do you have spicy cake?"

"Nothing like that!"

"Hmm...then how many days will it take for my Assassin to return to China?"

"It's been almost half a year since the last Holy Grail. Your Assassin didn't come long ago──"

"Not Hassan."

Kotomine Kirei interrupted very earnestly, and pointedly corrected the misunderstanding of the questioner.He especially emphasized: "I'm not looking for the black one, I only want the red one."

...What red and black!Feeling more and more that the owner of the intentionally paralyzed face in front of him was here to make trouble and seek pleasure, Emiya raised her eyebrows and sneered, and was about to use one hundred and one tricks to deal with Aoke...a sudden pause before!

Assassin, red!

The image of a red-clothed and armored assassin who is typical of an assassin lurking in modern society but engaged in an ancient profession immediately emerged vividly.

"Your memory." Emiya guessed, with a cold expression.

He even subconsciously estimated the distance between the two, is it enough for him to complete a close-range instant kill?The answer is enough.It's a pity that it will inevitably cause a commotion!

"That's right. The Holy Grail of Tokyo... I never thought there would be such a delayed release operation." Kirei smiled—he really wanted to express his kindness this time, after all he had to ask questions!

Helplessly, even though he was deliberately reserved, this smile still had a distorted sense of joy, which also made Emiya's black face even darker.

"...It closes early at four o'clock today. Stay and go."

"as you wish."

Kotomine Kirei happily agreed.And especially consciously, he walked to the single seat on the small round table that was installed in the corner, which Cu Chulainn had just moved out and patted hard twice.

Facts have proved that Kotomine Kirei's arrival is really not a good thing!It is true that their hospitality is not very good... If there is no refreshment, just cold boiled water, love it or not!

──No store owner can take a good look at a guy who always exudes a weird aura in the corner, causing the scheduled closing time at 03:30 to [-]:[-].

Kirei who waited obediently until the shop closed didn't sit still for long.It seems that he made a special trip just to confirm whether Emiya Kiritsugu has returned to the country?Incidentally, he told them: "There is a magician who is good at performing mass destruction magic. According to the church's information, he should have sneaked into Fuyuki City last night. I was ordered to hunt him down."

As for who was chasing after all?Or something in that person's hand?Kotomine Kirei pretended to be mysterious and didn't elaborate.

"I only cooperate with Emiya Kiritsugu. If you want to know the details, tell him to come to me." The priest said with a solemn face that looked very similar.

Afterwards, Kirei, who had obviously wasted a lot of time in unnecessary places, left as solemnly as he had come.Look at his expression and demeanor, it looks like he has to rush to hold wedding and funeral ceremonies for believers!

"……Call up?"

The blue-haired man who stayed in the store sat on the chair backwards, resting his chin on the back of the chair and asked.

"Well. Things must be notified." Emiya dialed the indoor phone.

Coincidentally, Emiya Kiritsugu, whom they claimed to be absent, is indeed not in Fuyuki City, but in fact, he is still tirelessly collecting information beneficial to the Fifth World War, as well as the magician killer who is looking for a possible way of redemption, and returned home this morning. up.If Kotomine Kirei persisted even more, maybe he could really force people to come to see him.

Of course, for Mr. Priest, who doesn't consider asking the Tohsaka family for help at all, it is also a good option to invite the magician killer to his home ── the church, where he can talk.
