However, Emiya Kiritsugu did not use this key [Magic Killing] on Morgan, the strongest and fiercest witch.

Morgan is the biggest threat in any way, but the battle-hardened magician-killer has deliberately set his sights on the black-haired boy.

This result surprised even Irisviel.

Why did Kiritsugu make the wrong choice, even though he had already told her husband that the boy was the Servant?

In fact, Emiya Kiritsugu did not ignore his wife's warning.

Not only that, but he did not miss the intelligence on the battlefield.

Morgan did refer to the dark-haired teenager as "Assassin" when confronting the lancer.

Under the premise of knowing everything, the magician killer still shot the origin bullet firmly at the "assassin".

Morgan's words are just acting, this black-haired boy is the real master.

What made him make this judgment was the keen sense of smell that Kiritsugu had acquired after fighting on the battlefield for decades, and the detailed investigation after coming to Fuyuki——

A few days have passed since the first battle in the Minato District, that is, nearly a week after the Holy Grail War began, and there were still only five Masters and Servants who appeared on the water.

Under such circumstances, Emiya Kiritsugu decided not to act rashly, but hid in the bureau shop to intensify the investigation on the identity of the remaining masters.

Finally, he came into contact with a secret through the Internet.

The Sajo family in Tokyo and the Matou family in Fuyuki have been in contact for the past year.

The reliability of the news is not high, but until now, as long as there is a little trouble, Emiya Kiritsugu will not let it go.

In this way, the name Rhodes finally appeared in front of the experienced hunter Emiya Kiritsugu.

It was this boy who was seen with the daughter of the Matou family.

Emiya Kiritsugu was sitting in front of his laptop, reading the email he had just received.

"Rod, judging from the name, it should be Chinese. The household registration shows that he is the adopted son of Sa Tiao Hiroki's daughter, Sa Tiao Aige.

It's ridiculous... Isn't Shatiao Hiroki's daughter only 17 years old this year?Apparently the household registration staff of the Ministry of Health and Welfare was hypnotized by magic. "

"Rod, born in 1982, is 12 years old this year. His experience before being adopted by the Sajo family is unknown.

After coming to Tokyo, he lived the dissolute life of a rich young master. He held more than a dozen VIP cards of various nightclubs and clubs under his name. He once lost 2000 million yen a day at the Fuchu Racecourse. "

"Is that so... he's a really bad guy, but things like this should be quite common in the magic world."

In the corner of the room, Maiya responded while maintaining her weapon.

"Character doesn't matter at all. Maybe he has an incredible talent for magic, so he will be seen by the Sajo family, as the family heir or the daughter's future husband."

"No, if that's the case, why isn't it the adopted son of Hiroki Satiao, but he specifically made it into the adopted son of the underage daughter in the household registration?

Moreover, when he was halfway through spending in a nightclub, he was kicked out as a minor by a staff member who suddenly woke up. "

"What do you mean?"

Hisaura Maiya looked at Emiya Kiritsugu in confusion, and he said while typing on the keyboard.

"That is to say, I accidentally lost my magic dress when I was in a nightclub, which led to the exposure of the child's identity.

In other words, this Rhode does not have any magic ability at all.He only relies on magic props prepared in advance to hide his identity in and out of adult places. "

"Kiritsugu, do you think this boy has anything to do with the demise of the Matou family?"

"I don't know. But—I think this Rhodes is one of the masters of this Holy Grail War, and...he is very dangerous."

Maiya frowned and asked, "...Is he dangerous?"

After a period of silence, Emiya Kiritsugu nodded resolutely.

"Maybe... it is much more dangerous than Kotomine Kirei.

I can't see any logic of behavior from his experience, and I can't understand his reason and desire to participate in the Holy Grail War.

If he had to find an explanation, it would be that for him, the Holy Grail War at stake was no different from horse racing...just for entertainment.

He was only involved in this war to pass the time. Facing such an arrogant idea, the Holy Grail still gave him a Command Spell.

That alone is very, very scary. "

He sighed deeply, and after staring straight at the display for a while with gloomy eyes, he turned around.

"Maiya, do you have any ideas about this person?"

"—"

His straight poker face was still expressionless.

She shook her head and said calmly.

"No."

……

Ye Feng pulled Emiya Kiritsugu back from memory to reality.

He clenched the anti-material rifle in his hand and put his eyes on the sniper scope again.

Having said that, what exactly did Lancer mean when he said "juveniles humiliate married women"?

Forget it, let's put this trivial question aside.

The results in the sniper scope showed that Rhodes, who was hit by the origin bullet, was already a wreck.

The black-haired boy probably didn't understand what happened to his body until the end.

Anti-material rifle rounds went through his spine and shredded his guts.

However, even with such a fatal wound, a good magician can still be cured.

The origin bullet is called a magic kill because it destroys the magic circuit itself.

If the magic circuit is likened to a high-voltage current loop, the source bullet is a drop of water.

Drip conductive liquid on dense electrical circuit—

Short circuit, burn, irreversible damage will be formed on the circuit.

Before tonight, Emiya Kiritsugu had shot and killed 37 magicians in this way, and this young man was a new victim, his magic circuit had been runaway and completely destroyed.

I bet right.

This boy is the real magician who participated in the war, the master of Caster Morgan.

But why-

Kiritsugu didn't feel any joy, only felt his scalp go numb.

Uneasy, restless feelings mingled in his chest.

Something is not right.

But couldn't tell what was wrong.

Is it the discomfort caused by Kuu Maiya not fighting with him today?

Earlier, Maiya had applied to fight the enemy who invaded the forest together, but Kiritsugu refused.

She should have already noticed that Emiya Kiritsugu no longer trusts her now.

Emiya Kiritsugu gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but regret: If only he brought Kuyu Maiya over tonight, he shouldn't doubt her...

"...!"

Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes widened.

He suddenly remembered what Caster said to Rhodes before the battle: "Assassin, don't shoot."

Kiritsugu had always thought that these words were just words used by the cunning witch to mislead Rhodes' identity, thus ignoring the obvious logical errors in it——

Assassin was absolutely impossible to confront the Three Horsemen head-on, and no one would let the assassin go head-to-head.

The first half of Morgan's sentence was undoubtedly false, but—what if the second half was true?

What if the unparalleled fairy princess is really worried that her prey [King Arthur] will be taken away by the master?

Suddenly, the wind picked up in the forest.

It was a yin wind that was completely different from the Holy Spear Gale, and it stabbed the man's cheeks coldly.

Immediately afterwards, a shadow darker than the night silently came to the ground where his feet were stepping.

The man dazedly felt that the forest he was in seemed to become hazy: "...what is this?"

The earth covered with darkness seems to have turned into a sea of ​​imaginary numbers, where reality and illusion are mixed, overlapped and collapsed.

When Emiya Kiritsugu tried to observe the shape of the shadow, his breathing suddenly stopped.

The huge body is like a mountain; the sharp wings bring disaster.

Terrible dragon heads, full of majesty; lavish crowns, blasphemous.

It looks like a dragon, but it is something far more creepy than a dragon——

"...Tsk!"

Before trying to understand what happened, Emiya Kiritsugu's body took the lead.

"Timealter - Tripleacce!"

Without any hesitation, Emiya Kiritsugu chanted a spell.

Proprietary Time Control - Triple Speed.

In an instant, the entire world other than Emiya Kiritsugu became sluggish.

The retina received three times the usual amount of information, and even the heartbeat and metabolism tripled.

Kiritsugu dropped the anti-equipment rifle in his hand at an almost unbelievable speed, jumped out of the danger zone, and began to run wildly through the forest.

There is only one thing for sure - someone is going after him.

It was Emiya Kiritsugu's style to be unpretentious, and he decisively opened the triple-speed inherent time control that would cause severe sequelae to the body.

Emiya Kiritsugu's speed was too fast to be detected with the naked eye, and even the previous raid by lancer Artoria was slow compared to him.

After all, this is not something done with the body, but a manipulation of time.

In the moon world, [time manipulation] does not belong to the category of miracle [magic].
