They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

Oh, what should I do? My dad's style doesn't seem right. Could he be a French idiot? Yuan Zhisheng thought helplessly.

He once imagined that his biological father was a serious old man who was bent by the years but was courageous and resolute. However, the reality was that his father became a comedian like Uesugi Yue who could tell dirty jokes at will.

"Sorry, it was a mistake, a mistake! It was my first time, I had no experience. Next time, I promise to let my little girl feel the warmth of a father's love!" Uesugi Yue said, slapping his chest loudly with his large, fan-like hands. He sheathed his knife and, without hesitation, carried the unconscious Kazama Ruri onto his back.

"Father, this..." Gen Chisheng subconsciously wanted to remind him that Fengjian Liuli was not his originally docile brother Gen Chinu, and that this evil ghost was very dangerous... But thinking about his old father's unparalleled combat power, and how he caught Fengjian Liuli with his bare hands, perhaps this reminder was not necessary at all.

"By the way, I just heard you mention Eri, right?" Uesugi Tsuyoshi suddenly turned around, and the girl on his back swayed with the movement. When he mentioned this name, his mind suddenly recalled the red-haired girl who was always silent beside Emiya.

"Yes, according to... Herzog's information, Eri, I, and my daughter are all experimental subjects cultivated based on your genes." Minamoto no Chisei recalled what Tachibana Masamune said and repeated it.

"Is there such a thing?"

Uesugi Yuexin thought, hehehe, when he met Emiya and Eri, his guess was quite accurate. At least he didn't recognize his daughter wrongly. This way, at least he could confirm that he already had a son and a daughter. This was a perfect match!

No... Doesn't that mean that Emiya was trying to woo his daughter?!

"I just don't know if this information is accurate. If you want to recognize him, it would be best if I notify the family in advance to arrange a paternity test."

Genji Chisheng said as he picked up his phone. This kind of thing wasn't a big deal; he could just give a casual order and it would be carried out. Uesugi Yue's blood sample had always been stored separately at the medical examination hospital, and Eri's situation was even more convenient, as she was in the highest security position at Genji Heavy Industries.

"What? Eri is missing?"

Yuan Zhisheng was horrified after hearing his subordinate's report. The ancient Spider Blade in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. "You mean—there's no one in the room, the door was forced open... and the entire patrol team happened to be transferred away?"

At this moment, Gen Chisei's temples were throbbing violently and his face was turning slightly darker. Although running away from home during the chaos was indeed very much in Eri's style, it just so happened that the personnel were transferred away and the Oni Clan invaded - such a coincidental arrangement made it easy to wonder whether the Oni Clan had a spy inside.

Generally, the team responsible for monitoring Eri can only be arranged by the head of the family or him, the Shadow Emperor, but Genji rarely intervenes, so the person in charge of this area can only be Tachibana Masamune.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhisheng had a vague guess, "Where is the head of the family? I need to know what's going on in the room where the head of the family is resting (under house arrest)!"

"I'm so sorry! The main force of the Ghost Clan attacked this area, and our men were unable to hold it for a while... By the time we pushed the front line back, the room where the head of the family was had already burned down. There was no intact body, only some completely charred remains."

"Can a forensic examination be performed?"

"It's very difficult. If the charred body was completely preserved, we would be confident in searching for residual tissue for DNA identification. But the problem is that there seem to be signs of transportation at the scene, so this residue may only be a small part of what was left."

"Continue to arrange it. It's fine as long as it can be identified. If it can't be done, don't force it."

Gen Chisei gave a formal instruction, but he already had a vague answer in his heart - Herzog... might really be up to something with the Demon Clan. He was cooperating with the Demon Clan's attack, "faking his own death" to escape, and at the same time intending to take Eri with him.

"Chisheng! Chisheng!" Uesugi Yue's urging brought him back to his senses. "Didn't you just ask about Eri's situation? How is Eri? Is she okay?"

Gen Chisei sighed, "Eri disappeared without our knowledge. There are two possibilities. First, she simply ran away from home. Second, she might have been taken to the Oni Clan!"

"What?" Uesugi Yue's face changed. "Chisheng, I remember the base of the Oni Clan remains the same as before, still in Osaka, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong--" Gen Chisheng was suddenly stunned while talking, and saw Uesugi Yue immediately grabbed the sword that was about to be unsheathed, as if he wanted to fly to Osaka immediately, pick up the two swords and chop all the way from Caishikou to Rashomon without blinking.

No, old father, you don't have to be so anxious. Just carry the person over there. Put him down first and leave him in the care of the family members.

"How dare you touch my daughter? I will make sure they all have a bad day!"

Uesugi Yue was furious, carrying Minamoto no Chitose on his back and holding a knife, and was about to turn around and leave, but he happened to run into Ange who was walking towards him.

"—!"

"Good evening, the previous generation of the Sheqi Eight Clan and the current generation's Shadow Emperor are having a family tea party here?"

Ange glanced at Uesugi Yue, his furious face etched with his unsheathed sword, and at the Minamoto no Chitose on his back. "Well, it seems there's no tea prepared for me here."

"Anger, what are you doing here?"

"I'm not doing anything. The battle between the servants just ended, so I came over to check on you, my old friend."

"Is the battle over?" Gen Chisei was very concerned about the battle situation over there. He remembered that due to the intervention of the white-haired armored woman (Melyusina), the servant duel turned into a terrible three-way melee.

"Yeah, don't waste your time guessing. Your Servant and that Demon Servant were both injured - it wasn't the other one who beat them, but they were beaten up badly by that flying girl." Ange spread his hands.

Gennochi recalled that when he and Watanabe Tsuna found the two servants in the battle, Ibaraki Douji, a demon servant who was obviously mentally ill, attacked Watanabe Tsuna directly when he saw him, so Watanabe Tsuna had to get involved in the battle.

Uesugi Yue had an impatient look on his face, clearly not interested in this. He was completely worried about his child's whereabouts. "Alright, alright, Ange, if you're alright, just get out of the way! I still have to go find my daughter, Eri! My lovely daughter needs the timely assistance of her great father!"

"What physical features do you mean by Eri?"

"My daughter... of course she's pretty and cute! And she has red hair, which is rare!"

"...I seem to know where your daughter is. I have to tell you, she is definitely not with the Demon Clan." When Ange heard this characteristic, he immediately thought of the scene where he accidentally encountered Emiya carrying Eri at the hospital gate not long ago.

"Where is it then?!" Uesugi Yue and Minamoto no Chisei, father and son, stared at him anxiously.

"Todai University's affiliated hospital."

----

A light rain had begun to fall, the thick clouds occasionally pierced by muffled thunder. The night wind whipped the rain curtain, sending slanting drops drifting over, forming a small puddle in front of the hospital's revolving door. As her red-soled high heels rose and fell in the puddle, they created circles of transparent ripples, crushing the neon lights reflected in the puddle.

Su Enxi, dressed in a Chanel dress, led two people on her left and right. On the left was Mai Jude, dressed in tight tactical clothing, and on the right was Ling, dressed in pure white. Anastasia, who had transformed into an invisible spirit, followed silently behind them.

They walked into the emergency room, asked the staff on duty, and headed straight for the ward where Emiya and Eri were. Several pairs of shoes left a trail of water on the ground.

"Hero Emiya, we meet again!"

When Su Enxi walked into the room empty-handed and greeted Emiya in a high-profile manner, the latter was still talking quietly with Eri beside the bed, while using his mobile phone to exchange messages with Nono, who had "escaped from Genji Heavy Industries".

Emiya looked up and saw Jude Mai behind Su Enxi, carrying bags of comfort supplies with a gritted face, as if she had lost money playing mahjong and had to do the hard labor.

The last person to come in was Zero, holding a silver tray steadily in one hand, on which was placed a bottle of Daiginjo, a glass of milk, two hot spring eggs, and a dish of yudofu. She bent her knees slightly like an aristocratic maid and placed the tray on the medical bedside table.

A fragrance similar to that of toiletries brushed against Emiya's nose. He noticed that Ling, Su Enxi, and Jude Mai's hair were all wet, as if they had just come out of the water.

"You guys just came here after taking a hot spring bath?"

"Actually, it was raining outside just now," Su Enxi smiled, and like a magician, she took out a diamond-studded comb and fixed her bangs. "It doesn't have to be a hot spring. It's normal to get your hair wet in the rain, right?"

"So what's up with this plate of hot spring cuisine?"

Emiya glanced at the silver tray.

Japan has many hot springs, and there are also hot spring dishes derived from the hot spring culture, such as half-cooked eggs with yolks steamed in sulfur springs, smooth tofu heated with hot spring water, etc. Since soaking in hot springs will speed up the body's metabolism, hot spring dishes are mostly light and rarely greasy. This feature is very suitable for food brought to visit the sick.

"As for the food - of course it was brought from the Kuroishi Residence. Master Emiya, have you forgotten again? There is a hot spring behind that courtyard." Su Enxi blinked.

"Hot spring?" Eri asked Emiya from her bed. "Is it as fun as taking a bath?" Her eyes sparkled, as if she had discovered a new world. This girl, who loved playing with her rubber duck in the bath, seemed to have found a new hobby.

"Soaking in a hot spring can be considered a recreational activity, but it's a little different from taking a bath. At least... the time it takes is different."

Emiya scratched his head. To be honest, he had never soaked in a hot spring himself, so he didn't know how to explain it... Because he was a pragmatist and always felt that soaking in a hot spring, or even taking a bath, was not as good as taking a shower. It was a waste of time to just soak there for no reason.

"Emiya... come and take a hot spring bath with me!" Eiry reached out and grabbed Emiya's elbow, her voice raised significantly. When she finished speaking, the girl's face had already turned a light pink like cherry blossoms, which made Su Enxi and Jude Mai, who noticed this scene, burn with gossip.

Jude Mai pursed her lips and quietly pointed her black-polished finger at Eri, "Emiya, which family did you kidnap this young lady from? Could she be a relative of Lady Nono?"

"Long Legs, what you said is really harsh. What do you mean by kidnapping?" Su Enxi, unwilling to be outdone, asserted her presence nearby. "Master Emiya has lived an upright life, and everything he does is just. How could he kidnap someone? This is called saving an innocent girl from harm, from the persecution of her cruel and unjust family!"

"Potato Chips girl, you're talking too much. Isn't it just a hero saving a beautiful girl?"

Only Zero stood by the bedside table. After adjusting the position of the silver tray, he carefully peeled the shell of the hot spring boiled egg and pushed the porcelain bowl towards Eri, just like a responsible family nanny.

"You two should stop singing the same tune," Emiya said, his skin crawling at the awkward flattery. "This is Eri... She's truly a young lady. Since you're reliable allies and have summoned Servants, I'd like to ask you to protect Eri during the Holy Grail War... She's very important."

"Is she important?" Su Enxi heard something unusual. She took a look at Eiry, who looked normal except for her outstanding appearance.

Emiya nodded, "It's related to what I was going to say about 'God'."

After saying that, he looked down at his phone. Nono had sent a bunch of messages, saying that she was still on her way and would soon arrive at the hospital. They would get together to sort out the information about God. So Emiya replied, "Our old acquaintance and ally has arrived. Let's talk about the information we have sorted out together."

Seeing the trio's curiosity, Emiya looked up and explained, "There's someone else behind us. Wait a minute and I'll tell you all."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door. A familiar old voice couldn't help but shout excitedly, roaring like a bell: "Daughter! Dad is here to see you!"

A more familiar young man then spoke: "Dad, the doctor said that no noise is allowed in the hospital late at night!"

"What a bastard doctor! He actually said that you and I don't look like Eri's brother or father, but Emiya is more like her brother. This is outrageous..." There was a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in Uesugi Yue's voice.

Hearing the door open, Su Enxi asked curiously, "Is this the person you're waiting for?"

However, Emiya's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself that this was totally wrong, it was not the case at all!

Eri also threw back the snow-white covers and jumped out of bed, subconsciously thinking of finding the back door or jumping out the window to escape - they heard the voice of Eri's brother, Minamoto Chisei again. Eri knew that if her brother caught her, her happy journey of running away from home would be over.

However, it was too late.

The door was slammed open with a tremendous force. The poor door lock safety bolt was completely useless against the former Shadow Emperor! Uesugi Yue strode in impatiently, and Gen Chisei followed helplessly. The father and son immediately saw Emiya and Eri preparing to escape together.

The scene fell into deathly silence for a moment.

Su Enxi and Jiude Mai covered their mouths, their shoulders shaking from trying to hold back their laughter. It was obvious that they had almost figured out what was going on and were planning to watch the show right there.

Zero continued to do her own thing. She peeled the egg and began to wield the silver knife, cutting the round, soft-boiled egg in half. The runny yolk swayed gently. Then she scooped up sake with a teaspoon and drew a precise parabola, like a professional maid and an outsider.

Emiya faced the stares of Uesugi Koshi and Minamoto no Chisei with a stiff expression, thinking to himself, it's over. Nono will be here soon, and with the father and son and the trio present now, this is going to turn into a three-court trial!

Chapter 210 The process is wrong, the conclusion is right

"Then let me ask you, why are you here, Emiya?"

Uesugi Yue did not carry a sword at the moment, and Kazama Ruri, who was originally carried on his back, was also detained and supervised by the people of the Snake Eight Families arranged by Minamoto no Chisei. However, his gaze alone was so sharp that it seemed as if he could pierce through Emiya's whole body, like a lion protecting its cubs.

Uesugi Yue's expression and attitude were completely different now. In the past, he would have vaguely advised the two to be more careful, because he couldn't confirm that Eri was his daughter...

But things are different now. Knowing that Eri is also his daughter, Uesugi Yue is now confident! Although Emiya and he have no blood relationship, Emiya must want to secretly kidnap his daughter!

Genji looked at Emiya and Eri with suspicion. Not long ago, he had just experienced a huge betrayal in his life.

The true face of his adoptive father Tachibana Masamune, who raised him for many years, turned out to be a sinister man who always coveted the family power and the secrets of God, and might even try to collude with the demons and abduct his sister Eri.

This truth dealt a heavy blow to Yuan Zhisheng, forcing him to re-examine and reassess how many truly reliable people there were in his social network.

Under the gazes of both father and son, Emiya instantly broke out in a cold sweat on the back of his neck. Apart from anything else, Genjiro must have thought that Eri had always been staying well in the family, otherwise he wouldn't have come to him only now.

What should I do? Should I tell the truth?

Just as Emiya was thinking about how to get through this, Su Enxi, who was leaning against the windowsill, suddenly spoke:

"Hey, isn't this the eldest young master of the Yuan family? We haven't seen each other for quite a few days. Now that we meet today, why don't you say hello?"

Jude Mai next to Su Enxi raised her eyebrows. She thought that the potato chip girl was taking the initiative to help Master Emiya change the subject.

The boss asked you to be Emiya's ally, and you are so enthusiastic about it. Could it be that you have a crush on Emiya... ?

Zero passed by everyone silently without revealing any thoughts. She just walked quietly to the corner and closed the door, then picked up the remote control and turned up the volume of the evening drama on TV to prevent some special conversation content from being heard outside.

Gen Chisheng wasn't too surprised by Su Enxi and the others appearing next to Emiya. After all, last time, when he asked Ms. Sakurai Nanami to win over Emiya, Su Enxi's sudden appearance disrupted his plans.

But Yuan Zhisheng couldn't be angry with Su Enxi. This super tycoon in the financial field, the "Black Gold Swan", was the "creditor" of the Eight Snake Families. Unless Yuan Zhisheng could bear the responsibility of bankrupting his family's finances, he could never afford to offend him.

"Ms. Su, I was so anxious to find my sister that I forgot to say hello. Are the two people next to Miss Su also our family?" Yuan Zhisheng pointed secretly at Jude Mai and Ling. If they were not "our family", the topic here would not be able to continue.

"Oh, of course they are my own people. They are my trusted subordinates." Su Enxi said very pretentiously - obviously, she couldn't help but pull out a banner of "she is the boss" to save face, which made the long-legged girl and the three-no girl who were taken advantage of look down on her secretly.

"So, Susan stayed in Tokyo, and must be keeping an eye on the Holy Grail War?"

"Of course it is. The Holy Grail War is also a war. Where there's war, there's bound to be business."

"I'm afraid Tokyo isn't a suitable place to stay for long during the war."

"If it's not possible during the war, then after the war."

"..."

While Su Enxi and Gen Chisheng were chatting idly to kill time, Eiry gently grabbed Emiya's hand, shook her head slightly, then stood up and started to get out of bed.

Emiya probably understood that Eri didn't want him to bear the "crime" of kidnapping her, so it would be better for her to "surrender the city" herself.

"Don't worry, Eri, I'll tell you."

This interaction that took place under the eyes of everyone seemed to make the father and son Uesugi Yue, who noticed this, look even more terrifying - you kid, you actually kidnapped Eri!

The father and son's eyelids twitched at the same time, and their clenched fists made a crackling sound.

However, Emiya was fearless. He cleared his throat, and when everyone's attention shifted here, he spoke frankly:

"The reason I'm here is because I recently rescued Eri from unconsciousness in the sewers. I was worried about her health, so I carried her to the hospital for a checkup."

"Sewer?" Minamoto's expression tensed. He instantly thought of the group of Deadpools he had discovered pouring in from the sewers inside the Genji Heavy Industries building. "Did they encounter an attack by the Demon Clan?"

"I guess so," Emiya recalled the masked man, "There was a guy called 'Oujiang'."

I had heard Feng Jianli's explanation before, and I thought this general Wang might be very insidious, but I didn't expect that he would die by pretending to be a victim.

"It really is?"

Yuan Zhisheng felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear. Wang Jiang was the leader of the ghost group. Since Wang Jiang appeared in the sewer, it meant that Deadpool was sent there by Wang Jiang.

And Eri, presumably with the cooperation of Herzog, was taken away by the king into the sewer, but was rescued by Emiya on the way.
