Be a Human Again From Conan

"...So this child has nowhere to go for the time being. I heard that Weber's grandparents are in Fuyuki, so I took the liberty of bringing her here. If it's convenient, can you please take care of her for a few days? Of course, if not If it’s convenient, I’ll take her away in a moment.”

"It doesn't matter, just leave this poor child here." Mrs. Massa wiped her eyes sadly and choked slightly.

 “Thank you very much, this is her accommodation fee...”

Gulan immediately waved his hand: "No, Mr. Ji Xing, you are a friend of Weber and Alex (the pseudonym of the Conquering King). To say this is really too foreign, just a little girl..."

 “Please be sure to accept it!”

Weber watched numbly as 'Tong Yuan' mingled with his nominal 'grandparents' in just a few words like a conquering king, and then casually compiled a story for Matou Sakura: 'Abandoned by parents a year ago, and adopted by adoptive parents. The "abuse" persona has become what it is now.

 After a lot of push and pull, and his servant King Conqueror also helping, Gulan and his wife finally accepted half of the money from Tong Yuan, mostly from Kenneth, his hated lecturer, and told him.

“Speaking of which, Weber really made a lot of friends in Canada. Not only Mr. Alex, but also Mr. Ji Xing from China.”

"Ah, yes...they are actually all friends of my parents." Weber said hesitantly.

"is that so?"

"…Um."

 When you are tired, destroy it.

"Come on, Sakura, thank you Grandpa Gulan and Grandma Masa." Ji Xing changed the subject.

"Thank you...grandma and grandpa?" Matou Sakura said with some discomfort.

"Hey." Mrs. Masa happily agreed, picked up an egg in her hand, peeled it, and said to Matou Sakura: "Sakura, eat an egg."

The breakfast was very harmonious and the whole family was enjoying themselves. Only Weber felt out of place, as if he was the only outsider.

After dinner, Mrs. Masa warmly entertained Matou Sakura and said, "Because there are no more rooms in the house, I have to blame you, Sakura, for sleeping on the same mattress as our husband and wife these days. Fortunately, there is enough space. As long as you don’t dislike Grandpa Gulan’s snoring, it’ll be okay.”

Matō Sakura was still like a puppet on strings, doing whatever others told her. She just glanced back at Ji Xing before entering the bedroom with Mrs. Masa.

Ji Xing gave her a smile. Matou Sakura paused and followed Masa into the room.

After a few more pleasantries with Gu Lan, Weber, who couldn't wait to catch up with Ji Xing, pulled him back to the room with the Conqueror King.

"You..." subconsciously wanted to yell, but Weber didn't have much confidence, so he lowered his voice and said to the Conquering King: "What on earth are you doing! He is an enemy, an enemy! And he is the heroic spirit of the guy who probably wants me to die! It’s the dangerous man who just defeated the Berserker last night!”

 “Hahaha, what does it matter? Doesn’t this show hostility to us?” The Conqueror King smiled completely nonchalantly.

"How can it be that simple! There is no hostility...Command Seals, yes, there are also Command Seals!"

As Weber spoke, he reacted and hid his body towards the Conqueror: "Even if he is not hostile to me, what if that guy Kenneth uses a command spell to force him to attack me?!"

"There's no need to worry about that." Ji Xing went to the side and sat down: "Penglai Gunslinger Sanren has never worshiped anyone as his master in his life, so the command spell cannot control me."

“…Huh?” Weber was stunned. Are you kidding? Can a heroic spirit summoned by the Holy Grail be immune to the command spells given by the Holy Grail?

"I see. No wonder you brought that little girl here. If your master could restrain you, he wouldn't agree to send her to Weber, right?" The Conqueror King touched the beard on his chin: "No. Controlling command spells? I don’t know if I can do it, it’s difficult..."

 Weber also reacted. He was shocked at first, and then...a little gloating.

That arrogant guy can't control his followers? Hahaha, Weber can imagine how humiliated and annoyed Kenneth would feel about this, just like me...

 Wait, like me? Damn it!

He looked at the King of Conqueror sadly, and saw that the King of Conqueror had taken out the wine he had 'plundered' last night and threw a bottle to Ji Xing.

"Although I know there is no hope, I still want to ask one more question. China's gun god, are you interested in becoming my subordinate? The most populous country in the east is my top three choice for the next conquest!"

Ji Xing smiled and shook his head, and the Conqueror King let out a long sigh: "Then we will soon be separated from life and death enemies. By the way, Gunslinger Sanren, I am really curious, what wishes would someone like you want to use the Holy Grail to fulfill? "

"No wish." Ji Xing said: "I just want to use the Holy Grail to do something big."

 “A big event?” The conquering king said in surprise: “It shouldn’t be the same as me, right?”

Ji Xing smiled: "Of course, I'm not interested in conquering the world. I just want to attack the Clock Tower in London."

"Hmm, Clock Tower?" The Conqueror looked at Weber thoughtfully: "I remember this is where you were born, right...Magic Association?"

Weber thought he had heard something extraordinary, something so extraordinary that he could not believe it.

“Don’t, don’t be joking, that is the world’s largest mutual aid association of magicians, a holy place for magic training! Even if you are a heroic spirit... what reason do you have to attack the clock tower?!"

Ji Xing smiled and clinked glasses with the Conqueror King: "I want to conquer and plunder that place!"

"Wahahahaha..." The Conqueror King burst out laughing instantly, "This sentence suits me very well! Sure enough, I read it right. You also have the tyranny of a king. If you want something, you will rely on your own weapons. Go get it! Well, the difference is probably that I want to be the king of the world, but you, a layman, want to be the king alone?!"

 The two clinked glasses together.

Weber's face twitched, he was completely confused, and he muttered to himself that if you want to die, you can just die, it's better to trick Kenneth hard...

Ji Xing took a few sips with the Conqueror King, and then said: "That incident happened after the Holy Grail War was basically over. Should we cooperate a little bit next, Conqueror King?"

"Huh? No, joining forces to deal with other heroic spirits, I, the king..."

"No." Ji Xing interrupted: "I just want to join hands with you to find someone and send an invitation. I want to try to invite all other heroic spirits to the Weiyuanchuan River the day after tomorrow, and have a battle to determine the outcome, and use less boring words. Conspiracy and sneaky tricks.

Well, except for Caster. Once I find the magician, I'll kill him straight away. "

The Conqueror King sat up slightly: "Will the outcome be decided in one battle? This is exactly what I like!"

Weber, who was shouting beside him, was ignored by him. He nodded and said: "Then let's do it like this. I hope other heroic spirits and masters will have the courage to fight! What happened to the magician? Why is he the only one who is a special case? Have you ever seen him? Caster?"

“Not yet.” Ji Xing looked at Weber and asked, “During the time you came to Fuyuki, have you noticed the ‘serial killings’ happening here?”

Weber was still concerned that the two people in front of him had 'privately decided' on the next battle policy. He was startled when he heard this: "You mean the man who has caused four or more murders in Fuyuki City in a row and is called so by the media and police The serial murderer of the 'Devil of Fuyuki City'? Can such a guy become Caster's Master?!"

“The response was pretty quick.” Ji Xing said, “It’s him, and he doesn’t have any holy relics, so the summoned heroic spirit is very compatible with him. If we leave it alone, it will cause even greater chaos.”

 “Murderers and murderous heroic spirits…” Webber muttered awkwardly.

"Is he such a guy? Even if he is invited, he will not accept the challenge. It is reasonable to clear him out in advance." The conquering king added: "But it is not just that. Just like that little girl, kill the murderer as soon as possible to avoid more people being killed. , This is a kind act! Hahaha, but be careful not to expose 'this weakness', otherwise it may be counterproductive."

"Of course I know that." Ji Xing smiled: "I'm just doing some good things that I can before waiting for the big war."

On the Heroic Spirit Seat, the body of 'Tong Yuan' had just fully awakened. He moved his body, looked left and right at the long river beyond the timeline, and started to go back upstream to the Heroic Spirit Seat, which was older than Tong Yuan. past.

 …

 Afternoon, the Tohsaka family’s magic fortress.

Kotomine Kirei stood beside Tokiomi Tohsaka and said: "We have found traces of Lancer again, but Sakura Matou is no longer around him. His whereabouts during the six hours he disappeared cannot be determined. What can be confirmed is that he does have the ability to contain his own magic power, just like an ordinary Assassin."

 Last night and this morning, his 'assassins' had been paying close attention to the movements of Ji Xing and Kenneth. He knew that they had returned to the hotel and that Ji Xing had left again with Matou Sakura.

 But after that, Assassin lost track.

　　It is very unbelievable that Assassin, who is skilled in assassination skills, actually lost track of Lancer, even on the premise that the other party was carrying a human girl and could not be transformed into a spirit child.

As the representative of the Templar Church who has defeated many "magician heretics", he has excellent tracking and counter-tracking abilities. However, as he shares the consciousness with Assassin who is tracking him, he does not understand how the other party does this. Yes.

"Horai Gunshen Sanren, Tong Yuan...hid Sakura. Do you think you can threaten me with this?" Tokiomi Tosaka murmured softly. The misunderstanding that he thought it was Caster last night was solved. After confirming Ji Xing's appearance, because the Internet is not yet developed today, Tokiomi Tosaka searched the information for a long time before he found the other party's identity.

"The manifestation of folklore that does not exist in history...does have records of elusive movements and wandering in all directions, but this kind of heroic spirit should not be able to deal with the berserker one-on-one."

 Can't figure it out, he looked at Kotomine Kirei.

“Teacher, do you want to proceed as planned?”

 “Ah, that’s it.”

Kotomine Kirei listened to the instructions and closed his eyes, communicating with Assassin who was next to Ji Xing.

The heroic spirit he summoned this time is very special. It is the "Hundred-faced Hassan". It is a group and can split into up to 88 people!

After this, he and his nominally separated teacher Tosaka Tokiomi formulated a simple strategy, in which he would control one of Hassan to die, creating the illusion that he was defeated and quit.

 But before there was time to implement it, the berserker was defeated, so it was temporarily shelved.

Until now, they decided to continue as planned, except that the person they wanted to die was replaced by the Penglai Gunslinger Sanren who had won one victory.

By the way, find out the strength of the opponent!

The one who acted was a very inconspicuous one among the 88 Hassan. He was slender and wore a skull mask. He was also Assassin who was with Diotong Yuan this morning. After a long time, he must have accumulated enough anger in his heart.

So he received the order from Kotomine Kirei, and when he waited in a remote alley, he revealed his form and suddenly stabbed the target in the back with a dagger!

 This was the penultimate scene seen by Kotomine Kirei, who shared his consciousness.

 The next scene is a bright white scene, a pair of calm pupils, and the accompanying roar of a dragon.

“Ha—” Even though he was not facing him directly, at this moment Kotomine Kirei still let out a long breath as if he had been hit. He waited for three seconds before shaking his head at Tosaka Tokiomi who was looking at him inquiringly.

 “Killed, in an instant.”

Tosaka Tokiomi’s expression became solemn.

 “A moment?”

Although the more divided the group, the weaker a single Hassan will be compared to a normal servant, but he is still a servant after all, so the gap is so big?

“That one is China’s heroic spirit.” At this time, Kirei Kotomine said: “Teacher, the word ‘martial arts’ comes from China, and that person is a famous spear master in the war years.”

Kotomine Kirei, who had learned Bajiquan and loved to eat Mapo tofu, knew more about Chinese culture, and Tokiomi Tosaka nodded lightly.

"Perhaps this is the ultimate skill among the heroic spirits summoned this time? It doesn't matter, the ultimate power is with us." He breathed deeply: "That's enough, Kirei, then as the defeated, seek asylum from the church Bar."

 “Yes.” Kotomine Kirei turned and left.

 For some reason, he felt that there seemed to be something else in the eyes he saw at the moment of Hassan's death. For some reason, he didn't tell his teacher.

 “Gun Shen…Sanren…”

In the alley, the spear that appeared in Ji Xing's hand disappeared again. He did not take this episode seriously and continued to search along the direction of the four victims and their families.

 …

evening.

In the center of the bustling area of ​​Fuyuki City, a special pair is walking through here.

The silver-haired girl with noble temperament in gorgeous clothes, and the exquisite young man whose arm is hooked by the girl, are like characters from movies or even fairy tales, attracting 100% return rate.

They are Emiya Kiritsugu’s wife Irisviel von Einzbern, and Emiya Kiritsugu’s servant Saber.

They arrived in Japan by plane in the afternoon and arrived in Fuyuki City in the evening.

　　Because Irisviel, an android, has never been to a place other than the Einzbern family's castle, they were shopping here despite the fact that they were going to join the Holy Grail War.

But the two of them just walked indifferently, not as close as lovers, nor as excited as tourists. They just curiously looked at the products in the windows one by one, but never entered a store.

  After all, it is incompatible with this place.

But when night fell and the colorful neon lights were lit, Irisviel still showed joy from the bottom of her heart.

"beautiful…"

Saber, who could sense Irisviel's emotions slightly, nodded slightly, but spent more of her energy on guard. She will not forget that this is a dangerous battlefield, and according to the principle that the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret, when night falls, frequent conflicts begin.

 A few seconds later, Saber's expression changed. She took Irisviel's arm and exerted some force. Irisviel also understood what she meant.

 “Is there an enemy Servant?” She looked around the bustling neighborhood: “In a place like this?”

"He has not restrained his aura, and is walking from the front in a flash." Saber affirmed, and then hesitated: "She shouldn't be crazy enough to start a fight in the crowd, but you still have to be careful."

She searched the crowd with her eyes and quickly found her target, because that was also an extremely eye-catching pair that had a high rate of turning heads.

A huge man who was over two meters tall and exaggeratedly strong, and a young man who was following him with a nervous and guarded look on his face and a somewhat reluctant look on his face.

 When the two groups of people come together, they attract even more attention.

Even harassment?

Various not-so-good guesses fell on two groups of very mismatched people. Some regretted not taking action as soon as possible, while others wanted to be a hero but were afraid of the huge man's size. They thought it would be better to call the police... See you The giant man took out a piece of paper.

what? Isn't it a love letter?

  Saber and the Conqueror King did not expect so much drama from the audience. The Conqueror King said loudly: "My name is the Conqueror King Iskandar. I participated in this war and achieved the Rider rank!

 Are you Saber? Hahaha, think about it first. When I come to the battlefield, do you have any intention of giving me the Holy Grail and conquering the world with me? If not, then accept the invitation and challenge in my hand! "

　　A rough sound exploded on the street, and the eyes of passers-by were filled with shock and surprise.

 What is this, role play?

“Hey! Are you an idiot?!” Weber, who didn’t expect this at all, shouted in a panic.

Irisviel was stunned and couldn't help but laugh. The first enemy Servant she encountered in the Holy Grail War was actually such a person?

 Only Saber looked solemn: "Conquering King Iskandar, do you want to declare a war?"

 She took the paper from the King of Conqueror with both hands, and was slightly shocked by the handwriting at first glance.

As King Arthur, he received an education from the aristocracy. Although calligraphy was not very particular in that era, at a glance, he could still realize that the characters were beautiful, like dragons flying or phoenixes dancing, as if they were alive, as if they could be directly imprinted in the mind. .

The next moment, she read the content of the invitation and the 'joint signature' at the end.

 "Penglai Gunshen Sanren...Tong Yuan."

"Hahaha, have you heard of him? Don't get me wrong, I have not formed an alliance with him, I just invite everyone with him!"

Saber looked at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and put away the letter of challenge with great care.

"I, Saber, King Arthur Artoria Pendragon, hereby accept the letter of challenge from the Conquering King Iskandar and the Penglai Gunslinger Sanren Tong Yuan, and we will have a showdown on the bank of the Weiyuan River the night after tomorrow! "

  5k. The brother I got married to was my high school classmate, and he also made a cameo appearance in Reboot World, haha, are there any book friends who have read Reboot World?

Hmm, there will be two updates tomorrow. After midnight, you will get double monthly passes. Book friends who have monthly passes can save them for tomorrow.
