Abnormal Moon

"Emiya Kiritsugu?"

Ilya tilted her head, her face full of confusion.

"Who is that? I don't know!"

"It's nothing, I'm just wasting your time."

"It's alright, it's alright. Roy, you can waste other people's time all you want!"

Ilya waved with a grin and turned to walk towards the door.

"Goodbye!"

"Hey, Illyasviel!"

"You're so annoying, Rin."

Illya stopped and looked at Rin Tohsaka with disdain.

"Didn't I say I don't care about the survival of Fuyuki City? Those corrupted Servants' goal is nothing more than the Greater Grail, right? Let's wait until the exorcism barrier expires before we fight. Anyway, my Berserker is invincible!"

Ilya completely ignored everyone's advice and left on her own after saying that.

"This brat!"

Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth inwardly.

"And what about you, Bazett?"

"I strongly agree with the part about defeating the corrupted Servants as soon as possible."

Bazawa nodded in agreement: "In any case, eliminating the unsettling factors that threaten the safety of Fuyuki City is undoubtedly the right decision by the City Hall, no, Mayor Tohsaka."

"So to say?"

"However, I refuse to act with the two of you."

Before Rin Tohsaka could even feel happy, Bazett abruptly changed the subject.

"To be honest, I can't tell whether the criminal who broke into the Great Void that day was among you. Without evidence, I don't intend to draw any conclusions. But I don't intend to risk cooperating with people I can't trust. I think you feel the same way about that."

Rin Tohsaka was speechless.

If it were her, she certainly wouldn't be able to cooperate with someone who might betray her at any moment.

Bazett's refusal made perfect sense, and she couldn't argue with it.

"Of course, my goal is the same as yours. I will also accept the job of defeating corrupted Servants. Let's start with... corrupted Lancer. I will make corrupted Lancer my first target. After that, everything, whether it's the outcome of the battle or the subsequent targets, will be connected through familiars. Is that alright?"

"You're right, let's do it this way."

Rin Tohsaka sighed softly and nodded in approval of Bazett's plan.

Bazett also left.

In the reception room, only Roy and Rin Tohsaka remained.

"Ugh! Seriously! I can forgive Bazett, but that brat completely looks down on me!"

Rin Tohsaka held her head in her hands, her twin tails shaking wildly.

As a member of the same starter family, I cannot let this grudge go unavenged!

Roy smiled slightly and didn't say anything, letting her vent for a while.

To be honest, among the three main families now, the Matou family is finished, the Tohsaka family only has Rin as its sole heir, and Sakura, who lives far away in Misaki City, is no longer a member of the Tohsaka family. Only the Einzbern family can still be considered to have a large population.

After all, their entire race consists of artificial humans, so it would be quite difficult for them not to have a large population.

"Be careful, your elegant image is in danger."

"I know!"

Rin Tohsaka mumbled something and sat down on the sofa listlessly.

"And then, were you really the one who trespassed into the Great Void that day?"

"Hahaha!"

Roy laughed and remained silent.

Although nothing was said, everything was said.

"You really are capable."

Rin Tohsaka was speechless.

She didn't hide her opinions from Roy. Roy obviously had his own ideas, and she wasn't anyone to him, so she had no right to criticize him.

"There are more than a dozen layers of all-encompassing barriers from different systems around the world on Mount Enzo. The concentration of curses at the Greater Grail is even more astonishing. How did you manage to infiltrate it in one night, summon Servants, defeat Bazett, and leave without anyone noticing?"

Roy remained smiling and silent.

It's obvious they don't want to say anything.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's split up for now and meet up tonight to hunt down corrupted Servants together, how about that?"

"no problem."

Chapter 35 How could Okita Souji be a girl!

In the evening, Roy returned home.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hayasaka Ai had already prepared dinner, authentic Chinese cuisine that Roy liked. Roy had been teaching them for several days, and the two girls worked together to recreate about 50-60% of his cooking skills.

"Oh, right, Saber, why don't you come out and eat too?"

After sitting down at the table, Roy suddenly remembered Ms. Okita and called her out.

A flash of gold appeared on the edge of the table.

Under the astonished gazes of the two maidservants, the golden light coalesced into the figure of a blonde girl wearing a haori. The girl appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but a sword hung at her waist. Her heroic and dignified appearance made her look both delicate and dashing.

"Master, Servants don't need to eat!"

"Don't let your eyes be glued to the table when you say that."

"Hey!"

Stop acting cute and sit down to eat.

"Yes!"

Ms. Okita gave a military salute, then sat down with a look of anticipation on her face.

"So delicious! So delicious! Oh, I was very ill when I was alive, and I couldn't eat this kind of oily and salty food for many years. Being able to eat my fill in life is such a great satisfaction!"

Her hearty eating was so delightful that it was hard not to laugh.

The words he spoke were so heavy that they evoked sympathy in people.

"These are Servants? Historical heroes?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at Okita Souji with great interest.

"A fifteen-year-old female swordsman? Is there such a person in Japanese history?"

Hayasaka Ai pinched her smooth chin, pondering and guessing the girl's true identity.

Given that they were seriously ill before their death, there probably weren't any people who met the criteria at all.

"Shiyu."

"Yes, Lord Roy."

Roy suddenly spoke up, and Kasumigaoka Utaha withdrew her gaze and sat up straight.

She thought Roy had some instructions, but the words that came out of Roy's mouth surprised her greatly.

"I'm going to participate in the Holy Grail War next, and my life or death is uncertain. If I die, you should follow Orange. Although Orange is not very reliable, at least she can ensure your safety for the rest of your life."

"Lord Roy?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked completely caught off guard.

Don't worry about it too much, it's just a possibility.

Roy took a bite of Mapo Tofu and mixed it with rice.

"Rather than waiting until it's too late to die, I'd rather settle you all down now. That's just my thought. Of course, I will fight and survive with all my might, but no one can predict the outcome of a battle."

Roy appeared completely at ease.

Even as he said he might die, there wasn't a trace of fear on his face.

He seemed to have foreseen his end, as if he had long been accustomed to death, and as if he was prepared to die in this Holy Grail War.

Calm.

"Can't I not participate?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but say.

"No."
