Chapter 761

~5 min read 860 words

Shishigou Kairi: "The gap in strength between the two sides is too large, so just the pressure released by the monster's gaze was enough to make them unable to bear it."

Kayneth: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying existence under Albion."

【The gaze returned to the Grand Rank Resolution side again.】

【Kayano Rishiri: "It's really amazing that you were able to find out, his name."】

【Luvia: "My brother felt something was wrong from the beginning. He thought that only one person's surname was unknown, which might be because as long as the surname is known, some kind of characteristic will be highlighted."】

【"On the Magic Eye Train, the extent to which you actively participated in the case already exceeded the scope of the Department of Law and Politics' duties. Although you said that was because Dr. Heartless and you were both adopted children of Norwich, to be honest, Norwich has many other adopted children, and I don't think this is the reason you are obsessed with Heartless."】

【"But I didn't lie."】

【Kayano Rishiri had a mischievous smile on her face and said: "That's because from that time on, the Heartless of today is very likely my own brother."】

【"Ah, even if you say he is my own brother, we are half-siblings. I heard that my father abandoned his newborn child and his first wife back then and returned from Albion alone."】

【Luvia was stunned and asked: "Was your father a survivor?"】

【Regarding this point, she didn't know; after all, it didn't have much to do with the case.】

【"Heh heh heh, he barely managed to scrape together enough money for one person to leave; his strength shouldn't be anything special."】

【Kayano Rishiri mocked: "Even though it was to continue the lineage as a mage, don't you think it's really stupid?"】

【"Oh my, hit by the blow of abandoning his wife, it is said that after the father came to the ground, he was disheartened, and as a result, he died soon after the new wife gave birth to me. Thanks to this, before Norwich adopted me, I suffered a lot—as for my brother, he probably didn't want to use his own surname either."】

Waver: "So that's how it is..."

Gold: "Hmph, abandoning wife and children, it's truly disgusting."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "This is human nature; in front of family and himself, he chose the latter, but regretted it deeply afterward; it's useless."

Amakusa Shirou: "At the very least, there is still guilt in his heart."

Demon God King: "Hmph, even if he were allowed to do it again, he would definitely still make this choice; this is ugly human nature."

【Luvia: "When did you discover it?"】

【Kayano Rishiri: "Perhaps as you thought, after I entered the Department of Law and Politics for a while. It's a pity that Heartless and Kuro had already disappeared at that time."】

【Luvia: "Then, do you know Kuro's secret?"】

【"Yes, although it is just my speculation."】

【Kayano Rishiri adjusted her glasses and said: "However, my brother and I have never actually met. Regarding this aspect, wouldn't it be better to let the teammates who teamed up with my brother in Albion explain it?"】

【Her eyes stared at Ashira like a snake locking onto its prey.】

【"Kuro... indeed... possesses some kind of ability."】

【Ashira's body trembled under the gaze, and she could only say: "He has a talent that can find the unstable temporary cracks needed to travel between the ground and Albion."】

【Rufleus: "Oh..."】

【Even this stubborn old man couldn't help but be interested at this moment.】

【The benefits that Kuro's ability can bring are too great.】

【Ashira: "He didn't have this ability from the beginning. It's just that one day when he discovered a crack, that talent of his sprouted."】

【Luvia: "When discovering the crack?"】

【Ashira: "Almost no one who is not an explorer knows that cracks will appear in Albion at a certain frequency. It's just that the frequency with which Kuro encountered such cracks was very high. He himself felt very embarrassed about this; I tried to ask him why he could find such things, and he said he didn't quite understand, but it felt like pulling out a rope."】

【"This is a Magic Eye."】

【Kayano Rishiri explained: "I heard that this is a talent occasionally found in the Adashino lineage. Magic that finds pairs of things—rather than saying that, is it more suitable to call it a spell for finding lost items?"】

【Hearing this, Luvia was determined in her heart.】

【Ah, so it is like this, so the whole puzzle is complete.】

【Aozaki Touko pondered: "I see, is Adashino's magic derived from snakes?"】

【Kayano Rishiri: "Exactly, what's wrong?"】

【"No, because snakes have a lot to do with finding lost items."】

【Aozaki Touko smiled faintly: "Because ancient people sanctified unknown abilities at the time, such as the loreal pit organ of snakes, and snakes are close to dragons, sometimes treated as equals."】

【"I see, the more familiar one is with this land, the greater Kuro's ability will develop. This is equivalent to the snake's Magic Eye named Kuro, gradually becoming identical to the vision of the dead dragon."】
