Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy

Kotomine Kirei said, "Did that old man really take action? As for that samurai, he must be the Servant that Caster originally summoned to guard the gate."

He was quite clear about the first servants.

Emiya Shirou and Toosaka Rin were both stunned. They could never have expected such an answer.

Emiya Shirou said, "Caster summoned a Servant to watch over the gate? Can the Holy Grail War be like this?"

"That's the truth." Kotomine Kirei looked at Tōsaka Rin: "Emiya Shirou, Rin, on the night Caster was killed in Ryudo-ji Temple, a Servant escaped from that barrier. Did you know?"

Toosaka Rin said, "The Servant related to that place? It's the assassin in the black robe and white mask, right?"

"Is it that assassin?" Shirou Emiya thought about how he actually faced that servant's Noble Phantasm yesterday. He still couldn't forget it. That was the closest he had ever been to death.

Kotomine Kirei said, "The samurai you mentioned and that Cursed Arm Hassan, both of them have the class of Assassin. The former was summoned by Caster, and the latter... should have been summoned by the old man of the Matou family using the spirit base of that samurai."

Emiya Shirou was shocked: "They are all Assassins?! Using the spirit base of that samurai servant to summon new servants?! How did you know?"

Kotomine Kirei said bluntly, "Because my Lancer saw him."

Hearing this, Emiya Shirou looked at Kotomine Kirei in disbelief. He was reminded by Mo Li that there was something wrong with Kotomine Kirei, but he never expected that the Lancer who almost killed him would be Kotomine Kirei's Servant!

Seeing his reaction, Kotomine Kirei smiled and said, "After all, I am still the Master."

"But..." Shirou Emiya suddenly didn't know how to communicate with this person who almost killed him. Now he was a little confused.

"Damn it..." After thinking for a while, Emiya Shirou decided to trust Kotomine Kirei first and figure out what happened first. He glanced at Tōsaka Rin and said, "What exactly happened? And Tōsaka-san, weren't you fighting with Lancer at the time? You already know each other, so why did you end up fighting?"

Toosaka Rin said, "Yeah, I just found out too. Please clarify what you want to discuss first."

Kotomine Kirei continued, "I ordered Lancer to secretly monitor the Assassin, but he caught up with the assassin and engaged him in battle. They fought all the way to the forest river, where they encountered a strange black and red life form. He almost didn't escape, and I had to use the Command Seal to recall him safely."

Upon hearing this, Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou's pupils shrank. This was the first time they knew about this!

It turns out that Kotomine Kirei knew about the existence of such a character earlier than they did.

Emiya Shirou asked solemnly, "Even Lancer was nearly killed there? This is a terrible situation."

He did not forget what kind of treasure that Cu Chulainn had released when he just summoned Saber. But Cu Chulainn, who possessed such a causal treasure, almost didn't escape. The danger of that black shadow was far greater than he thought.

Kotomine Kirei said, "The situation is indeed very bad. As for that Assassin, I believe he is definitely a Servant summoned by the old man from the Matou family. Although my Lancer didn't see that old man appear, all signs point to him."

"Also, that Assassin seems to be good at concealing his movements by masking his presence. His own combat power is actually not very high. Such a Servant is quite consistent with that old man."

Kotomine Kirei thought about it, and knowing that Emiya Shirou was a novice, he simply added: "Without specially prepared relics, people will only summon Servants that match their own nature."

Emiya Shirou nodded silently, he guessed so.

Kotomine Kirei said, "Emiya Shirou, Rin, the people you saw last night weren't just Matou Zouken, the magician, and the samurai."

Hearing this, Shirou Emiya thought back to the black shadow from last night and the shock it had brought to him.

At this time, Mo Li brought out a new plate of mapo tofu and placed it in front of Kotomine Kirei. When Emiya Shirou smelled the spicy and hot aroma of the mapo tofu, he was so scared that he covered his mouth and nose.

Seeing this, Kotomine Kirei smiled and lowered his head to eat his Mapo Tofu. As he ate, he said, "Oh, I'm afraid Matou Zouken and his Servants have long known that the guy lurking there will not only attack Servants, but also ordinary people."

"So that's why the masked Assassin used this to lure Lancer. If Caster's absorption of mana is like drawing blood, then that guy's actions can be said to be an even more extreme form of relying on blood for a living. And according to the information I've obtained, that guy has a close connection to the Matou family."

Toosaka Rin said, "That guy didn't just attack the Servant at the time. He was about to attack me. If Emiya hadn't pushed me away, I would have been the one to get hit."

Shirou Emiya was silent. He still didn't know what the purpose of the black shadow was. First, it helped him block the attack of Hassan the Cursed Arm, and then attacked Toosaka Rin. This behavior was quite strange.

If he could figure it out, he might know who that dark shadow was.

"If we leave it alone like this, this city will eventually become a deserted city." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Kotomine Kirei threw a piece of paper with relevant data in front of Emiya Shirou and continued, "So, I need you to cooperate with me."

Toosaka Rin said calmly: "Cooperation is no problem."

Anyway, she was no longer prepared to trust Kotomine Kirei, so superficial cooperation would suffice.

Emiya Shirou picked up the paper that Kotomine Kirei threw to him, unfolded it, and then his pupils trembled as he said in a trembling voice, "There are already thirty people unconscious!"

Kotomine Kirei said, "The location is Miyamaminami-cho 4-chome. Do you know where that is?"

"Ryuudouji..." Emiya Shirou put down the paper with an indignant expression. He wanted to get up and leave, but he forced himself to calm down and looked at Tosaka Rin: "Tosaka-san, what is your opinion?"

Now they are allies, so at least listen to Toosaka Rin's opinion.

Toosaka Rin said, "Of course I agree that we can cooperate, but I hope Kirei can be more sincere. You are the Master of the Lancers, yet you fought with both of our groups in succession."

Kotomine Kirei nodded slightly and said, "Of course, sincerity is also an aspect of cooperation."

Toosaka Rin looked at Emiya Shirou and asked, "Emiya-san, what is your opinion?"

Emiya Shirou looked around: "Where's Lancer?"

Cu Chulainn released his spirit form and reappeared: "What do you want from me?"

Emiya Shirou looked at him for a moment, then said, "I'm willing to cooperate, but I don't want to be attacked by you again."
