Chapter 1201

"The aura on that guy is the same as that bastard old man... Is it the status of a Human Emperor..."

"No, it's already impossible for a Human Emperor to be born in this era. That should be—"

"This is truly rare. An individual known as a Heroic Spirit, actually able to merge with a living person. Is it a method similar to possession?"

"Hmm... although it is the status of a Human Emperor, it's different from that bastard old man's. Is it Fuxi or Shennong..."

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Ba's expression changed, returning to the gentle and leisurely look from before.

"Hehe, really now, what am I worrying about? What does this have to do with me?"

"But honestly, this Fuyuki City hasn't been peaceful lately. Besides all sorts of monsters and demons, even two strange creatures have arrived."

"It's a pity, if that bastard old man really came, I could take the opportunity to give him a good beating."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Leinoer."

In the hotel lobby, Heartless and the young Director bowed to the newly arrived Leinoer Gusion.

"Hehe, it's no trouble at all. This is also a deal between me and Patriarch Acht."

Leinoer said with a smile: "That old man is very dissatisfied that you haven't taken any action."

Heartless: "After all, it's not yet the time for action."

"..."

Olga Marie subconsciously hid behind Heartless.

For some reason, looking at the man in front of her named Leinoer Gusion, her feelings were very complicated.

After the first glance at him, she felt a bit afraid.

Her sixth sense told her that she must stay away from this man.

But immediately, a voice jumped out from within her heart.

This voice told her that this person was a good man, someone she could get close to, or even trust.

This gave the young Director a headache, making her feel as if she were having a mental breakdown.

"Oh, what's wrong with this young lady?"

Leinoer looked at the young Director, revealing a gentle smile, and said: "Nice to meet you. You must be the daughter of the Animusphere monarch."

"Hello, I am, Leinoer Gusion."

"..."

The young Director wanted to return the greeting politely, but that contradictory feeling became increasingly intense, making her feel even more uncomfortable.

"Sorry, it seems she is not feeling well."

Heartless also noticed that something was wrong with the young Director and immediately said: "Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while."

As he spoke, he made a gesture, letting the spirit-formed Hephaestion send the young Director back.

"Hmm..."

The young Director nodded and left in a distracted state.

Strangely enough, once she couldn't see Leinoer, her mind suddenly calmed down.

Is it really related to that man...

The young Director decided that before figuring out what was going on, she would not meet this guy named Leinoer Gusion again.

And after the young Director left, the two began to talk about business.

Leinoer: "Regarding the Holy Grail, has it been investigated clearly?"

Heartless: "Yes, we've discovered many unknown secrets."

Leinoer: "Oh? Can you tell me about the situation here?"

Heartless: "Hehe, of course, there's nothing to hide."

"Welcome to your arrival."

At the Einzbern Castle, Irisviel, accompanied by two maids, specially welcomed the arriving group led by Touko Aozaki.

Touko Aozaki: "Sorry, I brought my employees along; they all wanted to come and look around."

Irisviel: "It doesn't matter, it's good to have more people; after all, it hasn't been lively here for a long time."

The group entered the castle under Irisviel's guidance, and Emiya Kiritsugu was already waiting in the hall.

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Hello, Miss Aozaki, this is our first meeting in this world."

Touko Aozaki: "I'll be bothering you for the next few days."

Emiya Kiritsugu immediately had Leysritt take Ryougi Shiki and the others to their respective rooms, while he took Touko Aozaki to the workshop prepared for her.

Touko Aozaki: "A tower, you've certainly put in the effort."

The workshop was arranged at the top of the tower, which could ensure privacy and prevent others from disturbing them.

Of course, even if a research accident occurred, it wouldn't affect others in the first instance.

"Miss Aozaki, please take care of me."

Emiya Shirou brought Pan Duola to the tower and politely greeted Touko Aozaki.

For the next few days, he would cooperate with Touko Aozaki's research.

There was no choice; besides himself, no one else could use Pan Duola at all.

"Yo, everyone is home."

After nine in the evening, Merlin, who had been out having fun, finally returned to Luvia's house.

He still smelled of alcohol, clearly having gone out to drink.

Before, when everyone went out to eat, he said he wanted to wander around alone, and everyone didn't bother with him; after all, he was an adult, could he really get lost? Who would have thought...

"You didn't go to a nightclub, did you?"

Extra Feng Xi looked at him with suspicion.

Merlin didn't hide it and laughed: "Hahaha, that's right, the modern young ladies are very open-minded."

Kay: "Old habits die hard."

Artoria: "Disgusting..."

Guna: "Don't come near me."

Merlin: "Hey, hey, I really just went to drink, what are you all thinking!"

"Alright, alright."

Extra Feng Xi said helplessly: "Don't just focus on having fun. How are your preparations for cleaning up the All the World's Evils? It's been three days!"

"Ah, don't worry, don't worry, I just finished the final touches, it's all set."

Merlin laughed: "We can take action tomorrow night, I guarantee that thing won't be able to run away."

"You actually took three days to prepare, you must have been slacking off every night."

Kay directly exposed Merlin.

Merlin: "Oh my, Kay-chan, how can you say that about me."

Kay: "(==)"

Artoria: "Alright, since everything is ready, let's double-check the plan. I hope there won't be any mishaps tomorrow night."

Extra Feng Xi: "That's fine, and by the way, notify Emiya and Rin so that their families can also be prepared."

"Hehehe, this moment is finally coming..."

Mount Yuancang, the Great Hole, a place where humans shouldn't appear, has now been broken into.

Leading them was the 'Old Bug', followed by Matou Shinji, Cursed Arm Hassan, and a short figure wearing a cloak.

"The barrier set by Merlin... Hmph, it's indeed very powerful, but it still can't compare to that one."

The 'Old Bug' looked at the short figure: "Alright, it's time for you to show your value."
