Chapter 37

The waiter said cautiously: "They said they were your students, so I came up to ask."

"It's them!"

Hearing this, Kayneth understood who the two people looking for him were.

Who else could it be but the two Wavers?

At the same time, Kayneth was also a bit puzzled.

The answering session had just ended, so why were they looking for him already?

And how did they find this place?

He didn't seem to have revealed his address in the group.

Last night, that guy Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to follow him, but because he left first, he could only follow Diarmuid, and naturally, he was discovered by Diarmuid.

Kayneth had Diarmuid lead the other party around most of Fuyuki City.

Once the other party knew they were exposed, they had to give up tracking and retreat.

Diarmuid also confirmed multiple times that no one was following him before returning to the hotel.

"Let them come up."

Although puzzled, Kayneth still gave the order.

Although he had become suspicious because of Emiya Kiritsugu, he wasn't afraid to see his own students.

"Yes."

The waiter left in a hurry after receiving the order.

Soon, the two arrived at Kayneth's floor by elevator; it was indeed Waver and the Second.

"Do you think Professor Kayneth will agree to our proposal?"

Waver looked at the Second with some concern.

"Don't worry, the Professor will definitely agree."

The Second was very confident, signaling Waver not to worry.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The two stepped forward and knocked on the door; this time Diarmuid opened it and invited them in.

"Waver Velvet..."

Kayneth looked at the two with a complex expression, his gaze mostly falling on the Second.

Sola on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side also looked at the Second curiously.

"Professor."

The Second bowed politely, but his eyes secretly glanced at Sola.

Because he noticed the Command Spells on Sola's hand and the long-haired woman smiling gently beside her.

In an instant, he guessed most of the situation in his heart.

"Hmm, sit."

Kayneth nodded, signaling them to sit opposite him.

The two sat down; the Second was very calm, but Waver was like sitting on pins and needles.

When directly facing a professor he didn't like, any student would feel uncomfortable.

"How did you know I was staying here?"

Kayneth got straight to the point and asked his question first.

"Hehe, it's simple."

The Second seemed to have expected Kayneth to ask this and explained directly.

(Brynhildr)

"With the Professor's personality, you would definitely stay in a high-end hotel. We visited most of the high-end hotels in Fuyuki City and found magic fluctuations on the upper floors of this one, so we determined that you were staying here."

"Hmph, to think I was exposed like that."

After hearing the Second's words, Kayneth couldn't help but snort coldly.

It was normal for his residence to have magic fluctuations, as he had booked three floors of this hotel and set them up as a magic workshop.

He didn't expect to be exposed because of this.

But the Second reminded him to consider dismantling part of the workshop now.

Because he had spent a lot of good things to set up this magic workshop.

Not to mention the many gems borrowed from the Mineralogy Department, the great treasure of the Department of Summoning, "Evil Spirit: Moryo," and three magic furnaces dedicated to Lords.

Each of these things is priceless; they were all borrowed by Kayneth based on his status, not bought.

Based on the situation in the video, he could confirm that these things would definitely be gone in the end.

Otherwise, how could the El-Melloi faction owe such a huge debt?

So Kayneth was now starting to worry a bit.

If he wasn't careful and these things were destroyed, he would probably have to go down the path of paying off debts.

It was all his own fault for losing his mind before leaving.

Why bring these things that might not be useful to participate in the Holy Grail War?

"Tell me, why did you suddenly come to find me?"

The more he thought, the more panicked he became, so Kayneth hurriedly changed the subject.

"Professor, we came here to form an alliance with you."

The Second also got straight to the point.

"An alliance!"

Kayneth was stunned.

"Professor, you must be clear about the current situation of the Holy Grail War."

The Second explained: "Tohsaka Tokiomi's King of Heroes and Emiya Kiritsugu's King of Knights are the two strongest in this Holy Grail War. Except for our King of Conquerors, no one can compete with them."

"You must have seen the King of Heroes' strength, but I can tell you that was only his basic combat; he has even more powerful Noble Phantasms he hasn't used."

"If it's a one-on-one fight, I'm afraid no Servant in this Holy Grail War is his match."

"And the King of Knights, her strength is actually not bad."

"The reason she performed poorly in the video was entirely because she didn't understand Diarmuid's Noble Phantasm, which led to her left hand being injured, greatly reducing her strength."

"Now that she is prepared, if a real fight breaks out, Diarmuid will likely find it hard to win."

"Not to mention, both sides have other Servants assisting them."

Speaking of this, the Second apologized to Diarmuid: "Sorry, I didn't mean to belittle you."

"It's fine, what you said is the truth."

Diarmuid waved his hand indifferently.

"..."

Kayneth fell into deep thought again.

He didn't have any thoughts of dealing with Tohsaka Tokiomi right now, but he couldn't let Emiya Kiritsugu go.

He had thought that with two Servants now, dealing with Emiya Kiritsugu should be easy.

But the Second's words were like a bucket of cold water.

Yes, he had been biased because of the video, thinking the King of Knights' strength was just that.

But as a king who once dominated the world, how could her strength be so limited?

And he had two Servants, but Emiya Kiritsugu also had two Servants under his command.

Diarmuid's Noble Phantasm abilities had all been exposed, but the King of Knights' and the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu's Noble Phantasm abilities were still a mystery.

Sure enough, because he had an extra divine Servant, Brynhildr, he had gotten carried away.

This bad habit must be corrected, or he would suffer a great loss sooner or later.

"If we are to form an alliance, what are the terms of cooperation?"

Calming down, Kayneth asked.

"We only have one request."

The Second said slowly: "If we get the Holy Grail in the end, we hope to give the wish-granting right to the King of Conquerors."

"You have quite an appetite."

Hearing the condition proposed by the Second, Kayneth wasn't angry and asked calmly: "Do you think I will agree to this condition?"
