Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 60: One-sided Battle
At night, in the new capital of Fuyuki City.

After bombing the Matou family's mansion into ruins, Emiya Kiritsugu did not return to the Einzbern Castle. Instead, he arrived at his destination, a hotel, while thinking about countermeasures.

Ignoring the various guests around him, Kiritsugu calmly walked through the lobby and took the elevator to the seventh floor, where he and his assistant had agreed to meet.

"Boom boom, boom..."

Coming quietly to the room in the corner, Emiya Kiritsugu knocked on the door according to the secret code agreed upon in advance, and the door opened immediately as if waiting for his arrival.

Without any extra greetings to the people in the room, they just exchanged glances and ended the moment of meeting again. Kiritsugu walked into the room in silence and closed the door.

"Is there any movement from Rider and Caster's Master?"

Walking to the chair in front of the desk and sitting down, Emiya Kiritsugu went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No, according to the familiars' surveillance, they have been staying in their respective bases."

Hisau Maiya quickly answered Kiritsugu's question, picked up the TV remote control, and turned it on.

Nourishes—

The 13-inch TV screen displayed images from multiple perspectives, and the place that appeared in the video was the residence where the Kamiya family and Weber were temporarily staying.

Although it is not clear enough, it is enough for people to know their detailed movements.

"Very good." Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette and then asked, "Where is the thing I gave you before?"

"……it's here."

Maiya carefully took out a rosewood box from the deepest part of the cabinet and handed it to the expressionless man in front of her.

Kiritsugu took the wooden box presented by Hisau Maiya, placed it on the table, removed the lock and opened the box.

What caught the eye was an ancient-style gunpowder gun with two special bullets next to it.

Carefully putting away the magic gift set and the origin bullet, Emiya Kiritsugu exhaled a puff of mist and began to think about his next strategy.

As of today, seven days have passed since the Holy Grail War. After fierce fighting, only three of the original seven servants are left.

Kiritsugu had almost figured out Rider's abilities and Noble Phantasm in the previous battle, but he still had no information about the Servant summoned by the Master of the Kamiya family.

The only information he knows is that he can grant the power of a Servant to his Master.

Faced with such a difficult enemy, even the battle-hardened Kiritsugu Emiya found it difficult to formulate a corresponding strategy.

“Maiya, there’s still no trace of Caster?”

After a moment, Kiritsugu, who had no clue at all, frowned and asked Hisau Maiya, who was standing silently by the side.

"No." The short-haired woman answered quickly.

After hearing her words, Emiya Kiritsugu was silent for a moment, then, as if he had made some kind of decision, his eyes grew colder. "So, what are the movements of the Kamiya family's master's daughter?"

Since he couldn't find the hiding Caster, Kiritsugu's attention naturally fell on Sakura.

Now is undoubtedly the time when the competition is the most intense. If he wants to successfully win the Holy Grail, he can only take risky measures.

"The child was well protected and stayed in the Kamiya family's mansion. There was no sign of him leaving the house."

Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya frowned even deeper. His plan to take Sakura as a hostage and force Kamiya Yu to submit was undoubtedly shattered by these words.

Since both the path of being a servant and the path of being a relative are blocked, how should I deal with the master who can perform space-transfer magic?
Wait... space transfer...

In the silent room, Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes and stared at the empty wall in front of him. Suddenly, he thought of Rider's Noble Phantasm, the inherent barrier that could replace space.

After capturing the key information, Kiritsugu immediately came up with a bold plan.

If he succeeds, he has a 90% chance of eliminating Kamiya Yu. ………………

On the other side, in the courtyard of the Kamiya family.

"Huh~ It's finally over."

Standing on the green lawn, Kamiya Yu looked at the dark figure standing silently not far away and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After many twists and turns, he finally took control of Berserker from Zouken Matou.

The battle situation was now very clear. Among the five remaining servants, Berserker and Caster were on his side, and Kayneth had already formed an alliance with him.

Although Director Ken still couldn't escape the fate of being exploded tonight, with the protection of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and Finn, he should be able to survive.

In the end, the only uncertain factors are the wavering Waver and Emiya Kiritsugu, who is willing to sacrifice everything to obtain the Holy Grail.

However, even if the two of them joined forces, in Kamiya Yu's opinion, they would not pose much of a threat.

After all, he has the combat power of four servants, plus Odin who is about to complete the purification ritual. Let alone the Holy Grail War, even the singularity, Kamiya Yu is confident that he can easily take it down.

"Brother..."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind Kamiya Yu.

"Yeah, it's Qiong, what's wrong?"

He turned his head and looked at the silver-haired girl standing not far away, and smiled gently.

"It's late now, don't you want to go to bed?"

Qiong walked to Kamiya Yu's side, tilted his little head, and asked expressionlessly.

Although the words were caring, no emotion could be heard in them. They gave people the feeling of being as indifferent as a robot.

"Well, I'll go take a rest in a while."

As he spoke, Kamiya Yu cut off the magic supply to Berserker, forcing him to enter the spiritual state.

"But you, can't sleep?"

"Yeah." Qiong nodded.

"If it's convenient, could you tell me why you can't sleep?"

Kamiya Yu turned around and walked towards the edge facing the courtyard, while Qiong followed closely behind him.

Although it was late at night, the temperature around was not low, and the breeze blowing towards us brought a comfortable coolness.

Sitting on the edge extending from the living room, you can not only take in the scenery of the courtyard, but also look up to see the starry sky.

The two of them were so close that they could touch each other's shoulders by just moving their bodies slightly.

There was a faint fragrance lingering around the tip of his nose, but Kamiya Yu's heart was not distracted at all. Instead, he felt more at ease than usual.

"...I want to know what kind of existence humans are." Qiong spoke calmly. "According to my father's instructions, I need to become a true 'human' under your guidance."

"So, I want to know what it takes to be considered a qualified human being."

Kaven, I'll post the next chapter later. The plot of the Fourth Holy Grail War is almost over, and I'm thinking about how to end it better.

Now that I think about it, it’s a bit difficult to write the character of Qiongmei…
