Where's the promised harem of Heroic Spirits? Why is it all just me?

What's more, Oda Nobunaga had already taken action long before the Holy Grail War began. If nothing unexpected happened, the master of the rider should be the one who broke into Oda Nobunaga's battlefield at that time. The ruler also personally certified his identity as the black master.

The Lancer team, which was defeated by itself on the second night, had already admitted that it was on the red team.

The assassin who was killed on the first night theoretically reappeared on the second night, which means that Tōsaka Tokiomi was probably acting. In this case, the assassin should also be on the red side.

In other words, the only ones that haven't appeared yet are the berserkers and casters of both sides, the black side's assassin and lancer, and the red side's rider.

Kiritsugu recalled the Heroic Spirit who had fought Oda Nobunaga to a standstill in the Battle of Heroic Spirits before the Holy Grail War. Although he was not sure who it was, it should be one of the aforementioned Servants who did not appear.

Emiya Kiritsugu decided to allow Saber to participate in the Red Team meeting.

He arranged a third party identity for himself in this war, letting Irisviel pretend to be Saber's Master, and himself being the mercenary she hired with money.

This allows him to have a more flexible position in this war. For example, if he lets Ellie join the red side, he may be able to find a way to break into the black side.

Their goal is only the Holy Grail. The rules of war are not important to them. As long as they can make the Holy Grail appear, they can use its miraculous power to accomplish impossible goals.

If we could capture both Masters at once...

Kiritsugu's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to maximize his benefits in the upcoming war.

.

In the Japanese-style house, Waver opened the door with a flushed face, and the red-haired burly man followed him with a laugh.

As soon as he entered the room, Waver saw a blonde girl and a fully armed knight sitting in the back of the room, each of them brewing a pot of tea.

"I just came in and found that you were not at home... What's wrong? Did something happen?" Lanise looked at Weber and asked.

"Have you received any information about the Red Team's upcoming meeting?" Weber asked.

"Of course, I came here to discuss this with you," Lanis replied.

"Hahaha, this kid just tried to attend the meeting, but was kicked out because he was on the black side!" Iskandar seemed to have laughed enough, he wiped his tears and said.

"Really? Isn't the Cathedral Church a neutral area? How can they still make room for the Red Team to hold a meeting?" Weber pouted in dissatisfaction.

"It's because it's a neutral area that we can use it for meetings. According to the rules, no one can attack there," Lanis said. "In theory, we can also apply to hold a meeting there."

"...It's terrible. The enemies are already gathering, and I don't even know who my teammates are." Weber touched his temple uncomfortably.

"When the pressure gets too great, they'll come looking for us themselves." Lanis said calmly, "I'll stay here tonight. It's time to discuss a strategy."

.

Bree came to the church with ease. In fact, he had been there many times, but most of the time he came as the second sister.

This time, he came in his true identity, but he no longer had the timid mentality he had before. It seemed that his courage and insight had grown unknowingly.

Merry, wearing a long dress, followed Bree happily, and she didn't seem to be uncomfortable with wearing women's clothes at all.

"Hey? Al!" Just when the church door was right in front of her, Mary suddenly waved to the person standing in front of the door.

112. Joint Crusade (Two-in-One)

Altria turned her head and was shocked to see someone who looked familiar, yet very strange.

The silver hair and princess-like dress made the visitor look like a fairy, but the mean expression on her face was still too strong.

"Merlin?" Artoria subconsciously called out the name.

"As expected of you, you recognized your most respected teacher at once?" Meili said shamelessly.

"..." Altria frowned, "Are you also a Heroic Spirit? On the Red Side? How did you become like this?"

"Actually, I've always had the same secret as you," Mary said, pretending to wipe away her tears. "That's one of the reasons why I've always been so dedicated to assisting you."

"Don't joke." Altria turned her head away.

Although she doesn't dislike Merlin like others, this guy is always weird and it's hard to tell what she's thinking.

However, ever since she appeared in this world, Artoria has been suffering under the shadow of Mordred. Now, meeting a kind acquaintance has made her feel a lot more relaxed.

Irisviel, who was beside Altria, looked at Meli with a surprised expression.

Is this the legendary Merlin, King Arthur's court sorcerer? Surprisingly, she's also a girl.

Almost all the characters in the Arthurian legend that Irisviel has met so far are like this, including Altria and Mordred.

Could it be that the entire Knights of the Round Table are girls?

Irisviel felt that her guess was not unreasonable.

Since the two groups arrived almost at the same time, the gatekeeper, Kotomine Ri, asked them to prove their identities together.

"Let me see your Command Seals," he said.

What a simple and crude way of identification.

There's nothing that can be done about it, after all, the entire Holy Grail War was just a lie told by Bree.

Irisviel looked at Bree and said, "You go first."

"?" Bree felt a little strange. There was no need to queue up for such a thing.

However, both Irisviel and Altria stood still, as if waiting for Bree to go in first.

Bree probably understood that just as he did not trust any outsiders, these people probably did not trust him either.

This is normal, since they have never met each other, and there is also Kiritsugu, who is even more of a lone wolf than Bree, guiding them from behind.

Bree did not pull any further. He took the initiative to step forward and showed Kotomine Risei the Command Seal on the back of his hand.

The three bright red Command Seals were placed in his hand, causing Mary to tilt her head in surprise.

She remembered that in order to restrain herself, Bree used two Command Spells on herself at the beginning, so how come they were still so complete?

No way? Is there a cheat?

Kotomine Rizheng confirmed the color of the Command Seal and nodded: "You can go in."

Bree looked back at Irisviel and the others, and seeing that they still didn't move, she had no choice but to walk into the gate first.

The church was not far away, and he quickly walked up and opened the door.

As soon as he entered the door, several eyes fell on him at the same time. Kenneth had already sat on the church bench, staring at him with a normal expression.

Diarmuid doesn't seem to be here. Is he protecting his fiancée? This guy is really relieved.

Also guarding here was Tōsaka Tokiomi himself. He looked at Bree and Merry behind him with a slightly surprised expression.

It seemed that someone he didn't know had finally arrived.

The layout of the church is very classic, with large chairs regularly divided into two rows.

Bree found a seat and sat down, acting like a socially anxious person on purpose. Meli originally wanted to walk around the cathedral church, but seeing that the Master was so honest, she just sat down too.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes and stared at Bree for a while, then suddenly said, "Do you know Emiya Kiritsugu?"

"Emiya Kiritsugu?" Bree showed a puzzled expression.

Having used his clone for so long, his original acting skills should not be underestimated.

"Don't be anxious, Lord El-Melloi." The one who broke the deadlock was Tokiomi, who had been staring at this place. He looked Bree up and down, "This young man doesn't look like he's from the Einzbern."

Kayneth stared at Bree for a long moment, then snorted.

The monarch came here in person. In addition to forming a team, the most important thing was that he wanted to find Kiritsugu Emiya and settle the accounts with him personally.

"Da da da……"

The awkward atmosphere didn't last long. Footsteps were heard and two girls pushed open the door and walked in.

Bree turned around and frowned slightly inwardly.

Irisviel is not Altria's Master, and she does not have the Command Seals that allow her to enter.

But they still came in. I don’t know how they managed to gain the trust of Kotomine Risei... or maybe this priest really had some other way to confirm the groups.

Kayneth immediately frowned: "Little girl from Einzbern, where is Emiya Kiritsugu?"

In the timeline of this dimension, Kiritsugu Emiya never explicitly revealed his relationship with Saber, but other people are not fools. As long as they have some connections, they can find out the relevant information.

Even if Kiritsugu didn't have a Servant, he was definitely closely related to this Holy Grail War. Furthermore, Kayneth had clearly heard from the mysterious person who had learned his Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that Kiritsugu was also a Master.

Irisviel was startled by Kenneth's harsh voice, but she showed no sign of fear. "This is a meeting to invite the Red Team participants. It doesn't matter whether Kiritsugu comes or not, right?"

"Isn't Kiritsugu the Master of the Red Side? Do you think we know nothing?" Kenneth shouted with great certainty in his loud voice.

Altria protected Irisviel behind her and said, "This is the Holy Church, a neutral area designated by the Holy Grail. If you want to fight, remember, you were the one who broke the rules first."

"I broke the rules? Why didn't your hired mercenaries say they broke the rules when they blew up my house?" Kenneth snorted coldly. "According to the rules, we are teammates."

Altria's scalp jumped. Kiritsugu's uninhibited style of doing things did not suit her, but she could not show that she was in the wrong here.

Bree smelled the scent of flowers and turned his head to see Merry taking out a piece of cake from somewhere and eating it with great interest while watching them quarrel.

"That's about enough. I didn't invite everyone here to quarrel."

Tōsaka Tokiomi's voice finally rang out. He looked at the clock in the church and sighed, "It seems that those who haven't come yet won't come again."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked around at everyone.

Including myself and Kirei who was hiding in the dark, there were five teams in total.

Berserker's whereabouts were unknown last night, which means that now rider is the only one on the red team who has not appeared.

Tokiomi was a little worried. The opponents he faced this time were so powerful. The worst case scenario was that Rider's Master would be killed before he could even show up.

Tokiomi walked to the front of the church and spoke carefully, "This time, I invited everyone to meet here because the situation has reached a point where we have no choice but to cooperate. Just last night, our berserker may have met with an accident."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people showed different expressions.

Irisviel and Altria both looked surprised, while Kayneth raised an eyebrow.

There was a big fire at the Matou residence yesterday, and there were also many explosions. However, the people they sent there arrived too late, and soon lost contact for unknown reasons.

It seems that the Tōsaka family, who have been with the Matou family for a long time, has monitored a lot of information.

Tōsaka Tokiomi looked around at everyone and sketched out his plan.

He hid the matter from Sakura because he didn't want to reveal his weakness in the upcoming teamwork.

Act natural and confident.

"The head of the Matou family and the participants in this Holy Grail War are all missing." Tōsaka Tokiomi said compassionately, "We'd better prepare for the worst."

"So what should we do next?" Bree suddenly said.

His words were so abrupt that they interrupted Tokiomi's mood. He froze for a moment, then pursed his lips: "We can't be passive any longer. We should attack the Black's base tonight. We must kill at least one of their servants."

"I can participate, but there's a condition," Kayneth suddenly said. "Have Emiya Kiritsugu come before me and kneel down to apologize."

“…We don’t even know where Kiritsugu is.” Irisviel said angrily.

Just as they were about to quarrel again, Tokiomi suddenly opened the blackboard behind him.

A photo appeared on the blackboard, showing a tall and short group entering a Japanese-style house.

"Don't worry, we have found a stronghold of the Black side. Let's take a look first and then consider whether to join." said Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Bree's eyes widened slightly.

Isn't that Weber? How did he get secretly photographed?

It seems that he had previously had the crazy idea of ​​joining the Red Team meeting, but was driven out.

As a result, he didn't expect that the theoretically neutral Holy Church had already reached a secret cooperation with Tōsaka Tokiomi and used some means to track him.

Even the emperor didn't notice it, how careless.

Looking at the picture on the blackboard, Kenneth, who had originally had an arrogant attitude as if you were begging him, showed an interested expression.

“Weber…”

His tone was calm, and there was no anger in it, but a hint of confusion could be sensed.

"It seems that Lancer is willing to join." Tōsaka Tokiomi looked at the others.

"I... don't know what's going on, but I'm willing to join." Bree said, straightening up.

Merry looked at Bree, unable to even manage a false expression.

That's not the attitude you have towards me.

Tokiomi looked at Irisviel and the others again.
