"That's why I came here."

Bai Lan said with a smile. He was holding a bunch of white camellias in his hands and standing at the door of the ward with a friendly smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Liuli. I'm a big fan of your books. You're so beautiful. Can we have a kiss on the cheek? A kiss on the hand would be fine too."

The young man walked into the room very familiarly, placed the bouquet of flowers in a white porcelain vase, and then ignored the prickly looks of the other people in the room and walked straight to the bed.

Dazai Osamu, Gojo Satoru, Ayatsuji Yukito, Minamoto no Chisei, Minamoto no Chijo, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, and Edogawa Ranpo were sitting in the corners of the room. When they saw him come in, no one stood up to give them a chair. In the end, Byakuran simply sat on the edge of the bed.

The smell of gun smoke and candy mixed together on him was strange and sweet.

Liuli half leaned on the bed, with her hands under the quilt. She did not answer Bai Lan's question, but asked:

"So, why are you here?"

"Is the teacher really that straightforward? He'd be more likable. It's really embarrassing to hear him say that directly..."

Before he could finish his words, the purple smoke turned into flames, burning upwards from his fingertips.

But Bai Lan still had a smile on her face, and even drew a heart shape in the air with her flaming index finger.

"Of course, I'm here to tell you about the Holy Grail War. Although I imagine you already know quite a bit about it."

"Simply put, the emergence of this Holy Grail War is contrary to common sense."

As the flames on her fingertips disappeared, Bai Lan looked at her hands, which were as smooth as new, and the smile on her face widened a little.

"A normal Holy Grail War is held in Fuyuki City. Seven magicians lead their summoned heroic spirits in a battle for ownership of the Holy Grail. The one who survives gets the chance to make a wish."

"That's right, the so-called Holy Grail has the power to instantly grant any wish, no matter what it is."

When Bai Lan said this, there was an indescribable temptation in her words, and her purple eyes, looking at Liuli, were dotted with flickering light.

Without waiting for the person next to him to speak, Liuli sneered first.

"With all due respect, if it could truly grant all wishes, it wouldn't have appeared on an island nation."

"America has long been obligated to keep it for the sake of world peace."

"Puch..."

Bai Lan couldn't help laughing. He laughed louder and louder, and even fell on the bed with laughter, half lying on Liuli's legs through a layer of quilt.

"Teacher Liuli, you're so cute... Hahahaha... I really like you. Do you have a boyfriend? If not, what do you think of me?"

"Judging from our hair and eye colors, we look like a perfect couple."

It's hard, the fist is hard.

The other people in the room stared at the still smiling kid with unfriendly eyes, wanting to have an intimate contact with his face with their hands.

"We have too much overlap in appearance. If I'm with you, people will think I'm narcissistic."

Liuli said calmly, "You should continue. What's unusual about this Holy Grail War? Besides the fact that it's not taking place in Fuyuki?"

"Cornerstone and numbers."

Shiran also suppressed the smile on her face and said seriously, "The real Holy Grail War is a massive ritual system planned by the Einzbern family, the Tōsaka family, and the Makiri (Matou) family in order to reach the 'Root'."

"Its ultimate purpose is to use the hole in the Holy Grail to reach the place of origin and end that magi dream of—the Origin."

"But now the cornerstone of the ritual has changed. Who knows if it can still reach its source, or if it has lost some strange part."

Bai Lan spread her hands and said, "Also, because the power supporting the Holy Grail's advent has been greatly enhanced, the number of Masters and Heroic Spirits that appear will also increase greatly."

"According to the teacher's speculation, the number of Masters this time is likely to reach fourteen."

"For example, my senior brother Kotomine Kirei and I are both the Masters of this Holy Grail War. However, Mr. Tokitoshi was not chosen by the Holy Grail. I don't know whether it is his luck or misfortune."

Bai Lan couldn't help but laugh, and a faint light flashed in his purple eyes.

Tousaka Tokitoki is an arrogant and old-fashioned person who attaches great importance to the so-called dignity of a magician. The reason why he is willing to accept Shiran as his apprentice is that he values ​​his good adaptability to the second method.

However, after accepting him as his disciple, this cheap teacher did teach him everything he knew about gem magic, and even knew how to plan a magic seal for his small family so that he could become an orthodox magician.

From this perspective, Bai Lan still has some gratitude towards him, and does not want this cheap teacher to die casually in some unknown corner.

After all, given his arrogance, if he were really chosen, he would most likely not survive to the end.

But then again, this Holy Grail War doesn't lead to the root cause, so Tōsaka Tokitoki isn't too interested.

Just throw Byakuran and Kotomine Kirei over here and let them see the world.

Thinking of this, Bai Lan laughed again, "I guess everyone here should have quite a few chosen Masters."

Bai Lan stretched out her right hand, revealing three bright red Command Seals.

Liuli was silent for a moment, then stretched out her hand and revealed the Command Seal.

To be honest, she didn't seem to have any particular desire for the Holy Grail to come true. If she wanted to gain power, she could plan it herself. If she wanted to go home, she could find a way to do it herself.

She has a strong distrust of the so-called universal wishing machine and is unwilling to pin her wishes on it.

Therefore, she did not mind revealing her Command Seals.

At the same time, Dazai Osamu and Gojo Satoru also revealed their right hands one after another, with bright red Command Seals engraved on the backs of their hands.

Gen Chisheng took a deep breath, rubbed his furrowed brows, and said helplessly, "I just received news that Eri also had a similar mark on the back of her hand."

"He is also the chosen Master."

Bai Lan said with a smile, "Isn't that great? One, two, three, four, five..."

"Adding the Eri you mentioned, we now have six people on our side. Our chances of winning are greatly increased."

Dazai Osamu withdrew his hand and said slowly, "Our side?"

His eyes glanced at Liuli intentionally or unintentionally. This was the first time they met face to face since that incident. The uneasiness in his heart was even greater than this so-called Holy Grail War.

"Of course, we are all Liuli teacher's people, aren't we?"

The young man, who had only met Liuli once, said excitedly, "I've been ready to fight for Teacher Liuli for a long time."

"Dazai-kun, aren't you?"
