Chapter 375

【Gray: "Sealing Designation?"】

【The Second: "The corner of the document is stamped with the emblem of the Department of Sealing Designation; that facility is also inside the Spirit Tomb Albion. And the inventor of the magecraft is—Emiya!"】

Everyone: "Hmm! Emiya!"】

Kiritsugu Emiya: "..."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Kiritsugu Emiya, you actually designed magecraft for Sealing Designation?"】

Kayneth: "This is the first time I've heard of it too."】

Kiritsugu Emiya: "... t wasn't me, it was my father."】

That's right, he, Kiritsugu Emiya, had never designed anything for the Jewel Jewel Mage Association.】

After all, a large part of his miserable childhood was caused by the Jewel Jewel Mage Association.】

Although Natalia had come forward to negotiate with the Jewel Jewel Mage Association, he only inherited less than 20% of the Emiya family's Magic Crest, and as for the research results of his father, Norikata Emiya, over the years, he only got some scraps, and the valuable parts were all openly taken away by the Jewel Jewel Mage Association.】

This magecraft technique is very likely his father's legacy.】

Mrs. Emiya: "Kiritsugu..."】

Kiritsugu Emiya: "... t's fine, it's all in the past."】

Even if he were angry, what could he do? Even if he were furious, he was ultimately just a small ant and couldn't shake the big tree that is the Jewel Jewel Mage Association at all.】

Let him focus on solving the Holy Grail for now.】

【The Second: "It's actually... Emiya..."】

【Gray: "Teacher, have you heard that name?"】

【The Second: "He was one of the participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War."】

【Gray: "!!!"】

【The Second: "... n any case, it's about to be solved. The main magecraft itself resembles the one in your hometown; it's mostly an application version of that, so it's not difficult to interpret."】

【Without continuing this topic, the Second once again devoted himself to analysis.】

【A few minutes later—】

【"How could it be..."】

【The Second's fingers trembled slightly, as if he wanted to crush the fountain pen.】

【Gray: "Teacher, have you solved it?"】

【"How could it be... Why... Why would you do such a thing..."】

【The Second seemed to have been hit hard, and his whole person was a bit deflated.】

【"No, only this I understand... Heartless deliberately left the data to urge me to solve this magecraft. Because he predicted that if I did, I would no longer be able to hinder him... In that case, what should I do..."】

【Gray worried: "Teacher, what exactly is wrong?"】

【Add also said impatiently: "Hey, what's wrong! Has your pale brain finally been soaked in magecraft for too long and gone crazy!"】

【The Second lowered his head and murmured: "This is a magecraft that uses the summoned object to establish the desired Spirit Origin. That's right, using the shadow called Faker to establish a true Heroic Spirit in this reality. This is not impossible. How could it be impossible? We have seen it with our own eyes. Precisely because of this, those people imitated King Arthur's body, mind, and soul in Gray's hometown, attempting to reproduce the true King Arthur herself, weren't they..."】

【"Heartless and Faker are attempting to summon a true Heroic Spirit... It's the Conqueror, Iskandar..."】

【A single sentence from Lord El-Melloi II left Gray completely stunned.】

【She understood very well the position Iskandar held in his heart.】

【Now everything was clear; the reason Faker would Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take orders from Heartless was likely precisely because of this.】

【And what was he to do? Should he go and stop it...】

【This was not something a subordinate should do.】

【Heartless, you really have played a brilliant move, forcing me into such a dilemma.】

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, so this fellow's target was actually me."

Waver: "Heartless, that really was a brilliant move."

Gordes Musik Yggdmillennia: "For Lord El-Melloi II, this is indeed the most agonizing situation."

Lord El-Melloi II did indeed want to see Iskandar again, even if the other party no longer recognized him, but absolutely not on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side of the enemy.

This move by Heartless was truly masterful, successfully striking at Lord El-Melloi II's fatal weakness.

【Gray: "But, what exactly does Heartless intend to do by summoning Iskandar?"】

【"That is also what I do not understand."】

【Lord El-Melloi II gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, what has happened..."】

【Just then, Lord El-Melloi II suddenly received a telepathic message.】

【Gray: "Teacher, has something happened?"】

【Lord El-Melloi II: "Slur, under attack—"】

Kayneth: "What! Slur is under attack! Is it Reines and the others!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Could it be Heartless? But what does he intend to gain by attacking Reines and the others?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Is he trying to weaken Lord El-Melloi II's strength first?"

【Time returns to ten minutes ago.】

【"There shouldn't be any joy in discovering the motive for a crime like this."】

【In mid-air, Hephaestion held a bottle like a drunkard and took a hard swig, saying while drinking: "After all, for that gloomy monarch, you are the culprit regardless, so there's no way to stage a mystery play."】

【On the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, Heartless smiled faintly: "Does the knowledge bestowed upon you when you manifested not include the inverted detective story? It is a very famous technique in works like 'Columbo'."】

【"Such things are irrelevant. I don't even like the 'Iliad'; wine is enough."】

【After finishing another bottle of wine, Hephaestion said flatly: "However, you are very much like that thing. You are just like those machines they talk about in the modern era."】

【Heartless: "A machine?"】

【Hephaestion: "No inner self, no dreams. Yet, after inputting the goal that should be realized, you march toward the most appropriate solution needed to achieve that goal. It's hard to call that human, isn't it?"】

【Heartless: "Do you have a master who makes you feel unpleasant?"】

【Hephaestion grinned hideously: "No, honestly, I feel quite at ease with you. Although my King might get sulky, I am a human tailored to requirements. Hmm, at this point, should I say I was once human?"】

【"Yes, they are too dazzling. To be partners with me, they are a bit too outstanding."】

【"Therefore, a level of gloom like yours is just right. Even though I died long ago, I feel like this is the first time someone has told me I can be free, and the wine has become much better to drink."】

【Heartless: "That's strange."】

【Hephaestion: "It is strange. However, for a relationship of that level, there is no need to regret it even if it breaks."】

First Emperor: "Hahaha, Conqueror King, it seems your subordinate is about to be poached."

Conqueror King: "Heh heh, I am also happy that she can find someone who suits her taste."

Conqueror King: "It's just that I never thought before that she was under so much pressure."

Lord El-Melloi II: "You were just too dazzling, so dazzling that she felt she was too insignificant, and she will never betray you."

【Hephaestion: "A new Servant has been summoned in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War."】

【Heartless: "Can you feel it?"】

【Hephaestion: "Because the ley lines are connected, I can vaguely feel it. After summoning one or two more, the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki will begin. Once that happens, there is no telling when it will end."】

【Heartless: "Then we must act quickly; he is almost at the point of unraveling the initial motive for the crime."】

Rin Tohsaka: "This is really something, one has already died before the seven are even gathered."

Kayneth: "I am becoming increasingly interested in how Atrum died."

【Heartless: "I leave it to you, Faker."】

【Hephaestion: "Leave it to me, Master."】

【With a toss of the wine bottle, the blue chariot suddenly ignited with scorching flames.】

【"Gallop, 'Wheel of the Heavens'!"】

【The next moment, the human world and hell rotated.】

【When Reines and the others in the library heard the commotion and went outside, the area was already in ruins.】

【Slur, which had been prosperous just a moment ago, had now completely become a thing of the past.】

Rin Tohsaka: "My god..."

Gordes Musik Yggdmillennia: "So Slur being attacked was really meant literally."

Waver: "That madman Heartless, what on earth is he trying to do!"

Kayneth: "But one thing is certain, his target was not Reines and the others."

【Reines did not dare to delay, and under the protection of Trimmau, she hurriedly checked the extent of the destruction.】

【The center of the destruction seemed to be the old school building, which had already been sealed when Lord El-Melloi II took over the Department of Modern Magecraft.】
