Chapter 408

【Wearing the same school uniform, all carrying guitars or basses, maybe they were in the same music club.】

【Exuding youthful vitality.】

【But Chika-chan, who was dressed completely differently, didn't look abrupt among them at all, and it took a while before she reluctantly said goodbye to her new friends.】

【"Chika-chan, next time you come to Fuyuki, you must come to our school to watch our Light Music Club performance."】

【"Sob, sob, sob, Yui-chan, Azu-nyan, wait for me, after I save the world, I'll come to watch your performance."】

【"Talking weird things again, see you next time, Chika."】

【Watching those sincere and reluctant strange girls.】

【The whole world looked at the silly pink-haired girl, and everyone felt their scalp tingle.】

【Holy crap.】

【What level of social ability is this?】

【How long has it been?】

【Strangers meeting for the first time, okay?】

【"The charm stat is probably maxed out."】

【A certain socially anxious person trembling as they lit a cigarette: "It seems like this ability is the most important thing for getting along with Heroic Spirits, right?"】

【"Yeah, I feel like her compatibility with any Heroic Spirit is outrageously high; sure enough, none of the Masters of Chaldea are simple."】

【"What do you think? Special talents selected from all of humanity."】

【"Unfortunately, they were all wiped out, sad!"】

【"......, damn, no wonder that bespectacled man helped the previous director create Chaldea; he probably knew very well that what's important was never Chaldea, but the people."】

【"Wait, what is that reality superstar Yingdao Mai doing?"】

【In the eyes of billions of people.】

【Seeing Fujiwara Chika collecting information, Yingdao Mai wasn't idle either.】

【The moment she walked to the blind spot of the field of vision.】

【The air wave exploded under her feet, and her graceful body borrowed strength from the side wall of the building a few times, then landed lightly on the roof, overlooking the bustling city with various neon lights flickering under the night.】

【Finally.】

【As if locking onto a target, amidst the explosion of blue arcs, she turned into a stream of light and glided away from above the city.】

【Fuyuki City suburbs.】

【Einzbern Castle.】

【The short-haired girl who was about to drive into the city suddenly raised her head and looked at the brightly lit city under the night.】

【"So undisguised, recklessly emitting magic aura......"】

【Where did this idiot come from...... or did she draw a trump card and have absolute confidence in her Heroic Spirit?】

【Feeling wary in her heart, Yukinoshita Haino sat in the Chevrolet with a relaxed smile on her face, looking at the woman driving with a smile.】

【"Meguri, should the Masters of this Holy Grail War be confirmed, right?"】

【The one driving was a quiet woman with two braids hanging in front of her chest, solemn: "Currently, four Masters have been confirmed."】

【"Kudo Yusaku."】

【"World-class mage, one of the Lords of the Zhong Ta, known as a 'child prodigy' since childhood, is a master proficient in Spirit Evocation, Summoning, Astrology, and Alchemy.】

【In magecraft practice, there are few in the whole world who can compare, and among the Masters of this Holy Grail War, he is perhaps uniquely powerful."】

【"Kuroba Kaito."】

【"The successor of white magic from the Kuroba family, who is said to possess 100,000 magic books, and is also a student of Mage Lord Kudo Yusaku.】

【According to intelligence from the Zhong Ta, he was humiliated by Kudo Yusaku and stole the holy relic he prepared in a fit of anger to participate in the Holy Grail War in the Far East; he should be planning to prove himself with this."】

【Speaking of this, Meguri Megumi shook her head with a laugh.】

【Still young.】

【The Holy Grail War is not a child's game to prove yourself.】

【That is a battle of life and death, betting everything on one's determination.】

【"What about the three families?"】

【Meguri Megumi responded while driving.】

【"Person in charge of Fuyuki magecraft world, Shinomiya Gan'an."】

【"Pulling the Shinomiya family, which once fell into the secular world, back into the ranks of famous magecraft families, his magecraft talent might be average, but he has extremely strong influence in the secular world.】

【Besides that.】

【Most of the familiars I sent to monitor the Shinomiya family were also shot down; it wasn't the Heroic Spirit who did it, it should be the foundation that the Shinomiya family originally possessed."】

【Haino said indifferently: "Well, after all, it's a famous magecraft family that has been passed down for more than ten generations; even if it once declined, the foundation is still there, so it's not surprising when some trump card that can snipe ordinary Heroic Spirits pops up."】

【The reason she thinks so is because......】

【Yukinoshita Haino glanced at the legendary Holy King beside her without a trace.】

【Feeling the holy scabbard sleeping deep in her body.】

【If it weren't for them actually taking it out, she wouldn't dare believe that they actually hid a holy relic of the level of 'Avalon'.】

【It's not surprising that the Shinomiya family and the Matou family, as one of the three families, have any foundation.】

【"The three siblings of the Matou family in this generation have no talent as mages, not even half-baked."】

【"But I don't know where they recruited a young mage named Sugou Nobuyuki, who possesses special talents; the Matou family seems to have great confidence in him."】

【"Finally, there is the one sent by the Holy Church..... Enoshima Junko."】

【"Entered the Holy Church since childhood, graduated from the Manresa Jazz God Academy, skipped grades for three consecutive years, and graduated with the top ten crowns.】

【After entering the notorious Burial Agency, she established a fierce reputation in the magecraft world of various continents."】

【Meguri Megumi's voice was a bit strained.】

【With great wariness, even fear.】

【The Burial Agency, one of the three major institutions of the Mage World, can be said to be a reputation built on killing; its predecessor was a heretic interrogation institution.】

【Cruelty and terror are recorded in history books.】

【The killing machine that came out of this kind of institution might not have high magecraft achievements, but its combat power and means of slaughtering humans are absolutely at the pinnacle.】

【And this woman named Enoshima Junko is even more of a leader among them.】

【"Haino, you must take this person seriously."】

【At the same time.】

【"Unfamiliar aura?!"】

【Shinomiya mansion.】

【Shinomiya Gan'an, who was practicing calligraphy in the study, suddenly raised his head.】

【Who is it?】

【Entering Fuyuki without saying hello to the Shinomiya family, who is in charge of the Fuyuki Greater Leyline, at this point in time?】

【"Teacher, do you need me to handle it?"】

【Beside him.】

【The woman standing like a sculpture, with aura almost imperceptible, even more Assassin than Assassin, spoke indifferently.】

【The tone was emotionless, without fluctuation.】

【"No need, it's probably that last Master."】

【Shinomiya Gan'an quickly calmed down.】

【The strongest trump card is already in hand; no matter how confident they are, can they summon an existence stronger than that King of Kings?】

【Impossible......】

【The hand wrote a "Quiet" character with iron-drawing silver-hook, and Shinomiya Gan'an picked up the high-quality rice paper with satisfaction and blew the ink dry.】

【There is a good saying in the East.】

【Better to be quiet than to move.】

【Quietly wait for the few Heroic Spirits to leave the field; that king alone is enough to sweep away the rest.】

【Of course, confidence is confidence, but caution is still necessary.】

【Shinomiya Gan'an pulled a stack of files from the bookshelf on the side: "Junko, you take a look too; this time your only task in the Holy Grail War is to assassinate the Masters of the Holy Grail as much as possible."】

【Pressing one of the blue files on the table, he said with a solemn tone: "Especially this trump card of the Einzbern family....."】
