The long night finally passed, and the next day dawned as usual.

For Emiya Shirou, there was nothing too noteworthy last night. Except for the fact that his brother came home late last night.

Emiya Shirou got up as usual, washed up, and came to the living room.

As soon as I walked down the stairs, I smelled the aroma of breakfast coming from the kitchen. Emiya Shirou also heard the sound of the TV, which looked no different from before.

"Good morning, Brother Xi."

Emiya Shirou greeted Kazama Yu in the kitchen.

"Where's Saber? Why didn't she see her?"

"her backyard dojo..."Kazama Xi replied without turning his head.

"That's it."

Emiya Shirou came to the living room and stood in front of the TV watching the morning news.

Today's news was a little different. The female announcer of Fuyuki TV's morning news, who is known for her vitality and sunshine, had a solemn face.

Even the font size of the subtitles below the news was greatly enlarged, which highlighted the importance of the news being broadcast.

Emiya Shirou read the subtitles silently:

"serial rear-end car accident...Still in the city center, the economic losses reached tens of millions, and more than 30 people were injured."

"this..."

Seeing this news, Emiya Shirou's lazy spirit in the morning was suddenly wiped away, and he became dignified and serious instead.

Hidden beneath the everyday world is a mysterious world that is difficult for ordinary people to know.

This world is not allowed to be known by ordinary people.

A mystery would be meaningless if too many people knew it. Therefore, if the mystery has an impact in the daily secular world, there will also be a specialized organization of magicians to deal with it to prevent the leakage of information.

This is common knowledge in the mysterious world. Kazama Yu has never told him these things. It was Rin Tosaka, a classmate of the same age in the same school and a magician, who took the initiative to tell him.

The major car accident that occurred in the city center last night, from the perspective of those who did not experience it personally, looked like the car accident caused by a tired driver as mentioned in the news. At that time, a short circuit occurred in the entire block's power system, causing the traffic lights to go out, triggering a chain reaction and causing a major traffic accident.

People who don't know the details will just think this is very unfortunate.

Just like the fire in Fuyuki City ten years ago, few people would explore the truth of the matter.

People are like this, they only need an answer, no matter whether the answer is true or false.

However, Shirou Emiya, who has been exposed to the mystery and the reality of the other side of the world, will no longer think so.

The Holy Grail War is taking place, and the truth of the disaster will be concealed

"Brother Xi, was this accident caused by the Holy Grail War?"

Emiya Shirou looked back at Kazama Yu who was walking out of the kitchen.

His brother's expression was calm. Occasionally, Emiya Shirou would wonder whether his brother was as cold and hard as stone.

Emiya Shirou noticed what happened when the accident happened. incident, it was already late at night.

At that time, Kazama Yu happened to be outside and had not returned home.

Emiya Shirou couldn't help but have some associations, although he quickly denied it. Thoughts.

Feng Jianxi didn't answer, and there was no useful information from his face.

However, sometimes, silence was also an answer.

His brother might really know something, but if he didn't take the initiative to say it. , there is no point even asking. Emiya Shirou knew this.

"Shirou, good morning..."

The blond girl walked into the house and greeted her seriously.

The three of them sat at the dining table together and ate breakfast in silence.

The school day is coming soon. After packing up clothes and changing shoes, Emiya Shirou and Artoria will go out together.

Arturia had already walked out of the door first and was waiting in the yard.

Just as Shirou Emiya was about to close the door, he was stopped by Kazama Yu.

"Shirou..."

"What's wrong, Brother Xi?"

Feng Jianxi stood at the entrance and said to Shirou Emiya:

"Regarding the rules of the Holy Grail War, Tohsaka has already told you. But those are not yet the truth. Tonight, I will tell you the truth about the Holy Grail"

"Then, along with Kiritsugu’s past and some matters our father left behind before his death that are still unresolved. I will tell you all this."

Emiya Shirou paused.

His brother's attitude towards his participation in the Holy Grail War was very subtle.

Although he was tacitly approved, it was definitely not approval, and he even tended to refuse his participation.

Emiya Shirou was not angry. He was in danger of the mysterious world. Already known. He was wrong to stubbornly participate in it. What's more, this denial actually came from the concern of his family and relatives.

There was a certain change in Emiya Shirou's attitude today. Having caught this,

Emiya Shirou wanted to ask something else, but Kazama Yuu had already turned around and walked into the house.

"Shirou...."

Artoria's urging came from outside, and Emiya Shirou closed the door and walked towards Artoria.

On the way to school, Emiya Shirou was a little careless. But he quickly corrected his mentality. It was unnecessary to think about these things now. He would know it at night anyway.

Coming to the street where Suiyuanqun High School is located, there are obviously more young and beautiful students, and everyone is gathering in the same direction.

Among the people wearing the same brown uniforms, Emiya Shirou saw a familiar figure.

He seemed a little lonely and cold among the students in groups of two or three.

"cherry...."

Emiya Shirou called out to the figure, but received no response after several calls. The purple-haired girl seemed to have her head lowered and was still walking forward.

Emiya Shirou and Artoria quickened their pace together and came behind the girl.

Emiya Shirou put his palm on the girl's shoulder, and the girl turned her head as if she had come to her senses.

The moment the girl turned her head, Emiya Shirou was shocked.

The girl who was usually bright, or blooming coldly like a cherry blossom, revealed an extremely haggard side.

His face was pale, bloodless, and his lips were dry.

Those clear eyes are also a little cloudy and have no color.

"Shirou, and Artoria, good morning."

The girl who came back to her senses showed a smile and greeted the two of them, but anyone could see the reluctance in it.

"Sakura, what's wrong with you?"

Emiya Shirou asked seriously:

"Is this sick?"

When Emiya Shirou mentioned the word"sick", the girl's face seemed to become even paler.

A pair of students happened to pass by them.

This pair of students happened to be discussing the accident that happened in the center of the city last night. :

"It's so tragic, those victims"

"Yes, tired truck drivers are to blame and such guys deserve the death penalty...."

Matou Sakura reached out and covered her mouth, then bent down and began to retching.

"Sakura, it’s better to take leave and go home...."

Emiya Shirou and Artoria helped Matou Sakura together, but they were pushed away by Matou Sakura.

"Ask for leave...I need to take leave, I want to get out of here"

"Shirou, can you help me ask for leave from our class teacher?"

"Sakura, I'd better take you to the hospital or go home first, and then ask for leave for you."

"No, it's okay."

The girl said stubbornly, trying hard to gather her energy:"That's it, Shirou, you go and ask for leave for me."

Pushing Emiya Shirou and Artoria aside, Matou Sakura merged into the opposite flow of people.

"What should I do, Shirou?"Looking at Sakura's leaving figure, Artoria asked Emiya Shirou.

The relationship between Matou Sakura and the Emiya family is very special. Artoria can see this. She is obviously a member of another family. But the girl regards the Emiya family as her real home, and Shirou Emiya also regards the girl as a family member like his sister.

"Let's go ask for leave for Ying first, and then go visit Ying with Brother Xi after school."

The whole morning passed in a blink of an eye. At lunch time, Emiya Shirou, Artoria and the two rituals gathered together.

"What about the child not coming today?"Two Ceremonies asked

"Sakura seemed to be sick and asked me to take leave for her."

"That's it..."

The two rituals nodded:

"Wait for me when school is over. We will go back together today."

What happened last night was planned to be told by Yu Kazama personally.

On the rooftop of the next building less than twenty meters away from Emiya Shirou and the others.

Tohsaka Rin was sitting on the steps eating a bento, red a Right next to her

"Sakura didn't come to school today..."

Gently poking the croquettes in the food box with chopsticks, Tohsaka Rin said softly

"Need to visit?"Red A asked with her hands on her shoulders and leaning against the wall.

Tohsaka Rin was a little silent, then shook her head:

"Forget it, since the death of his father, the Tosaka family and the Matou family have actually had no contact. Moreover, it will definitely be awkward when the time comes to meet."

Tohsaka Rin changed the subject:"Speaking of which, how was the investigation of what happened in the city last night?"

"It can only be determined that a certain master and servant did it, because they were in the same coma as the day before. Then dozens of people disappeared"

"dozens of people..."Tohsaka Rin's expression became serious.

This kind of approach is too taboo no matter what the purpose is.

After all, the Holy Grail War is a secret ceremony held in private, and confidentiality is a high priority.

What's more, for Tosaka Rin, Fuyuki City is the residence of the Tosaka family, and the spiritual veins here belong to the Tosaka family. Tohsaka Rin is also the current spiritual pulse manager.

Red A seemed to see what Rin was thinking:"There is nothing we can do about it. You three families jointly constructed the ritual of the Holy Grail War. Among them, the Tosaka family provided the spiritual land, and your ancestors naturally prepared their own territory to become Preparations for the battlefield where foreign magicians fight"

"Do you know this kind of thing?"

Tohsaka Rin looked at Red A suspiciously.

Red A's face remained unchanged:"Don't underestimate my ability to investigate information and collect intelligence, Rin...."

Hearing this explanation, Rin nodded, and then sighed deeply:

"The previous four Holy Grail Wars all ended in failure. I hope this ritual can be completed smoothly. This is not only to fulfill the long-cherished wish of our ancestors, but also to prevent this city from suffering such disasters."

Red A silently listened to Tohsaka Rin's soliloquy.

In fact, what is happening in Fuyuki City now has never happened in the world line he has experienced.

However, Rin Part of the wish has actually come true.

The Holy Grail War has completely confirmed its failure. Since it is a failed ritual, there is naturally no point in continuing it.

But this time, whether it will be the same as before, Red A has no way of knowing. Sure.

However, speaking of differences, Red A also gained something from the investigation of the deviation of this world line.

‘His adopted brother, Feng Jianxi, was the focus of his investigation, but his personal information could not be found, so Hong A changed the direction of his investigation.

He began to investigate the reason why the other party was adopted by Emiya Kiritsugu ten years ago. Hong A really discovered something about what happened ten years ago.

There were two major news stories in Fuyuki City at that time. One was the murder case of a serial perverted murderer, in which a large number of children were abducted.

Another more conspicuous thing is that a shoe cult group was destroyed.

The latter seems to have nothing to do with the target that Red A wants to investigate, but Red A instinctively feels that there should be a connection.

"Do you want to teach evil truths?...."

According to newspaper reports from the time, this shoe cult advocated the end of the world, hatred and destruction between people.

To be evil, to drive the believers with fear and awe, and to promote the end of the world, this is the common nature of the shoe cult.

The most noteworthy point is that when the police destroyed the other party's nest, they did not catch the core���members, but traces of the escaped personnel were also found.

These escaped fanatics seemed to be preparing to hold a ceremony at the Fuyuki Civic Hall.

The Fuyuki Civic Hall no longer exists, because the building is located where the fourth spiritual node of Fuyuki City is located. It is also the place where the Holy Grail descended during the Holy Grail War ten years ago.

It was also there that the terrible curse poured out of the hole and burned down the entire neighborhood.

"Is my 'sworn brother' related to this religious sect?".............. at the same time.

Miyama Town, Matou House.

In front of this ancient mansion with hundreds of years of history, it welcomes its visitors.

The heavy iron door tightened, and the chain broke with creaking and trembling.

The Matou family's defenses and magic barrier were triggered.

Several dangerous spells that can kill people instantly have been activated and are ready to go.

In the courtyard, countless insects emerged from the shrubs and flowers, almost covering the entire courtyard.

Among them, the rickety figure is revealed

"Junior of the Emiya family, what do you mean by this?"

Facing the question of the rickety old man, he responded with an invisible and heavy attack.

The old man was instantly squeezed and crushed, turning into a pool of turbid gravy, and the insects all over the courtyard were also crushed, leaving only Lower armor fragments and debris

"Why?"

"Matou Zangyan, don’t you know it yourself?"

Feng Jianxi said indifferently.
