Chapter 2. Attack!
Fuyuki City.
This city, which should have been peaceful, has been greeted by many uninvited guests.
"I said.Rider"
"How did you do that?"
Weber looked around cautiously and asked in a weak voice.
"Of course, we had a friendly chat with the host."
"They gave it to us because they were in a good mood."
But Rider's response left Webber speechless.
This luxurious villa was something Webber would never have dared to dream of before, but Rider solved it with a simple "I'll take care of it."
The most important thing is that it was not obtained by killing ordinary people.
(hint?)
Although he initially asked someone to use magic to give him hints, it was clear that they were not as good as Rider.
But when I think about Rider's class, I feel that there is no possibility of "hinting".
Could Rider possibly possess magic like Caster?
(That's impossible no matter how you look at it, right?)
Shaking his head, Weber smiled wryly and dismissed his guess about the job system.
(What an incredibly handsome Master)
Sitting on the sofa, sipping old-fashioned tea, Lelouch looked at the boy in front of him and thought.
Although it is much more clever than Suzaku, it is still too easy to deal with.
(Command Spell.)
His gaze shifted to the back of his hand, and looking at the red mark, Lelouch wondered if he should find a chance to remove it.
The best way is to use the power of Geass to control the opponent; that's the safest approach.
However, considering that Masters might come into contact with each other, and this could be discovered by some observant individuals, it would be quite troublesome.
Geass is his greatest trump card, an excellent weapon against both Servants and enemy Masters.
In addition, Rider's class can provide him with a good hidden label. How can a mecha pilot be a Servant with "magic"?
It would be a bad thing if people found out about Geass in advance and took precautions against it.
This is also why Lelouch has hesitated to take action against Waver.
(Let's observe for now.)
"Assassin, it seems you've gone out without permission."
Sensing the commotion in the room, Kirei Kotomine suddenly asked a question.
"I just went outside to take a look."
The cold words revealed the speaker's emotions.
"Himura Battosai, I have searched through numerous historical documents but have not found anyone who perfectly matches your identity."
"."
Upon hearing Kirei Kotomine's words, Kenshin Himura did not reply, but his eyes flashed with an unusual light.
"Well, it doesn't matter, even though I might lose the boost from being more famous."
"But I believe you will also perform exceptionally well in the tasks ahead."
Kirei Kotomine didn't ask any further questions about this, and simply followed the instructions of his father and teacher.
But deep down, Kirei Kotomine harbored a lingering doubt.
The man before him might also hold the answers he seeks.
As the sky changes and time passes, it foreshadows the gradual unfolding of the performance.
"Wow, that's incredible!"
"Haven't you come out to take a look?"
In the black sedan, Saber, accompanied by Irisviel in her false identity, was traveling, unaware that their every move had already been observed by others.
"That's Saber and her Master?"
"What a careless combination. If it weren't for the so-called mystery, they would have been kicked out long ago."
Standing atop the high-rise, his body was becoming a spirit, secretly observing the group "parading through the streets" below, the shadowy figure whispering in the dark.
He wouldn't hesitate to seize such an opportunity.
It should be noted that Saber may have some strange way of allowing her Master to avoid a fatal attack.
......................
"Um?!"
Saber and Irisviel strolled along the beach, where they sensed a palpable killing intent beneath the dark night sky.
"Saber?"
Even the optimistic Irisviel sensed that something was amiss.
"That undisguised murderous intent."
"Are you saying that once you've set your sights on a target, you'll definitely kill them?"
"You really underestimate me."
A figure had already appeared in his eyes, and the knife at the other party's waist clearly indicated that the newcomer was up to no good.
Saber directly interpreted the other party's behavior as a provocation.
"bass!"
But the next moment, without any greeting or response, the other party drew his sword and rushed over like a ghost.
"call!"
"Danger!"
Instinct reminded her, and Saber subconsciously pulled Irisviel away, thus allowing the latter to avoid the incoming sword strike.
"Snap!"
A trench was cleaved into the ground, but there was no one in sight.
"What is that??"
A glance at the sharp blade gave Saber the impression that her opponent was a highly skilled and proficient swordsman.
She pulled Irisviel by the hand and dragged her behind her, shielding her, while keeping a watchful eye on what lay ahead.
"call out"
(Wow, that was fast.)
(This pace.)
The spacious area seemed to have become the opponent's playground, and she could feel the opponent's agile movements.
A blur of motion flickered in the air as Saber changed her attire and drew her holy sword.
The holy sword, enveloped by the barrier, was so long that its length could not be seen, thus forcing back the attacking figure.
"A sword hidden in the wind?"
No longer hiding, but appearing directly before her, Kenshin Himura observed Saber's invisible holy sword and said.
"Are you an Assassin?"
The opponent's weapon was also a sword, and with that strange skill, Saber asked tentatively.
"An assassin would actually attack someone head-on?"
Irisviel does know some common sense about the Holy Grail War, such as the importance of concealment and mystery. And shouldn't Assassins usually be the ones who need to hide and carry out assassinations?
Why did they dare to charge head-on, especially against the most powerful Saber?
"For me, if it requires action..."
"Any time of day is fine."
This is not an exaggeration. As Battosai, he killed countless enemies and high-ranking officials. Apart from the few masters of the Shinsengumi and Shinsengumi, there were very few survivors.
He only stopped his excessive killings after meeting a true love, but this time it's different.
If they win, both she, who is seriously injured, and the world will be saved.
Therefore, no matter what, Kenshin will kill all the enemies who stand in his way this time.
Even an unarmed Master is no exception.
"Assassin openly and fairly confronts Saber"
"Hey, then put on a good show, you bastard."
Gilgamesh found the assassin's reckless behavior laughable and sensed it from a great distance.
A reckless challenge?
He didn't think it was anything to be ashamed of; at least it allowed him to watch a good show.
Although Assassin has good intentions, he is also a "human killer".
Once they've made up their minds, they won't hold back.
"Um?"
"Looks like quite a few bugs have gotten in here."
…………
Emiya Kiritsugu lay prone on the floor of the high-rise building, his expression slightly changing.
Upon receiving Irisviel's communication, he located a nearby support point and prepared to set up a sniper rifle, but unexpectedly...
There are still experts!
He immediately recognized the person as a Servant from their golden armor and held his breath to avoid them.
Revealing his identity now would be unwise, but the battle situation nearby also worried him.
Saber is fine facing Assassins alone, but dealing with a Servant hiding in the shadows is fraught with danger.
On my very first day in Fuyuki City, I never expected to encounter something so "exciting." Things are changing so fast.
"If necessary"
"We need to get Saber to retreat first."
