Begin the Holy Grail War with the Sombra Legion

"Finally found it..."

Tosaka Tokiomi felt relieved, usually he would have to confirm this kind of thing before he could rest assured, but since Kotomine Kirei had confirmed it, he didn't have to check it anymore.

Through these three years of getting along, it can be seen from the daily handling of things and the attitude of learning that Kotomine Kirei is an honest person who will not lie.

It was precisely because of this that Tosaka Tokiomi dared to hand over his back to him with confidence. Although such a gratifying disciple did not have the style of a magician at all, he was very suitable as an ally.

Moreover, now that he has decided to form an alliance with the other party, it is not in line with the Tosaka family's usual attitude to hide his defense. Therefore, in the past three years, Tosaka Tokiomi has no defense against Kotomine Kirei, but It is because he really regarded him as a disciple of the Tohsaka family and allowed him to participate in the operation of the industry and the practice of magic. This is why the guardian appointed by Tohsaka Tokiomi in his will was Kotomine Kirei.

He thought he had seen through Kotomine Kirei, even if he had an accident, he could still leave a reliable shelter for his dear daughter, Rin.

Although judging from the results, this idea has come true.

The current Kotomine Kirei is still a rigid, silent, and reliable disciple.

"Then, the people over there have already bought it."

"Already negotiating with the seller. Now that the mystery of the Holy Grail War has not been revealed, even if it is the holy relic of the king of Uruk, the Tohsaka family's financial resources can afford it, and it must be able to achieve results today. "

Kotomine Kirei said in a serious tone, although the Tohsaka family is only a five-generation magic family, but because of its remote location, it has a relationship with the legendary second magician, and has a good relationship with the church, and it is very popular on both sides. , I am a big landlord, and the financial situation of the Tohsaka family is quite good.

——If they didn't practice jewel magic.

"However, counting the gemstones you bought at a high price before, the current financial situation of the Tohsaka family is already stretched."

Kotomine Kirei glanced at Tosaka Tokiomi's seemingly calm eyes, feeling a little helpless.

Jewel magic is a very good inheritance, very comprehensive, almost no flaws that are easy to be targeted, but in the other world, there are not many users of this magic, which is enough to prove that it has shortcomings that most magicians cannot bear.

That is, asking for money.

A lot of money, from research to combat, a gem containing a natural spirit costs at least 500,000 yen, but in combat, as long as it is used once, it will be scrapped and become worthless residue.

The battle of gem magic is simply a waste of money. It is okay for the noble families of the Clock Tower, but for second-rate families like the Tohsaka family, it can only be said to be barely sustainable.

As far as Kotomine Kirei knows, his master Tosaka Tokiomi once told him such a family motto of the Tosaka family, 'Before the remaining savings of the previous generation are gone, one must achieve greatness as a magician. Then I once again desperately save money for the next generation. '

This sounds like a bitter family motto, but it is an obligation that the Tohsaka family has followed for generations. When Tohsaka Tokiomi was young, he also suffered a lot before he achieved success as a magician, so Tohsaka The Saka family's finances are a little better.

But it didn't get any better, because preparations for the Holy Grail War had to be made in advance, and all kinds of gems, costumes, and props had to be bought with money, so even when Kotomine Kirei became a disciple, the finances were still barely manageable.

"I can't help it, Kirei," Tohsaka Tokiomi also sighed when mentioning this matter.

"You are not a practitioner of gem magic. You don't know how hard it is to find the top gems. The magic power that such gems can contain can even be passed down from generation to generation. It's just one, in order for Rin to accumulate more, he must take a few."

Thinking about it,

Tokiomi Tohsaka was a little fortunate. Recently at the clock tower, it seemed that people related to the noble family were selling rare top-grade gemstones on a large scale. There was a full bag, although most of them were sold by the Edfelt family. He took it away, but through his contacts in the clock tower, Tokiomi Tosaka also snatched a few, and he had to pay quickly, so he had to embezzle part of the reserve funds first.

"Fortunately, maybe the ancestors are blessing the Tohsaka family. At this critical moment, the funds are just enough. Not only did I buy the gems, but I also got the holy relics I want. This time, the Holy Grail War, the victory is already in my hands. Already!"

Looking at the confident master, Kotomine Kirei pondered for a while, wanting to say something, but finally closed his mouth. During these three years of getting along, he knew that Tosaka Tokiomi was a reliable man, but it seemed that every time he Every time it comes to an important critical moment, he will always make some unexpected mistakes.

Because of this, he couldn't help reminding Tohsaka Tokiomi of the two-pronged dangerous game, but now everything seems to be going well, I hope that view is just his own illusion.

Kotomine Kirei bowed to leave, ready to continue his practice.

In a common airport, a middle-aged man holding a small wooden box heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the transport plane being prepared.

He is a subordinate who has been favored by the Tohsaka family and worked hard for them. This time, the head of the Tohsaka family ordered him to do so. After the negotiation was completed, in order to prevent things from changing, he immediately found a channel and prepared Send things back to that island nation.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clenched the box in his hand. Inside the soft box was his achievement this time, the fossil of the world's first snake slough. Although the competition was not very strong, he still knew something about the magic world. Stay alert.

As a result, there was no change until they arrived at the airport.

"It seems that I still worry too much."

The car stopped slowly, and the door of the transport plane slowly opened. The man relaxed, got out of the car, and rushed to the transport plane with agility that didn't match his age. He will put down the box in his hand after confirming that the plane has taken off.

It is already at high altitude, even if a magician wants to attack, it will be too late. It seems that this mission is safe and sound.

Thinking of this, the man unconsciously smiled. He sat on the ground gently, opened the box, and was about to check the condition of the goods.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a stone shaped like a joint, with a dark earth color. The front and rear ends of the stone were coiled together, forming a knot-like shape.

"Eh? Is this the fossil of a snake slough? Does it look the same as a real stone?"

"I have no eyesight. This is a treasure that took thousands of years to form. It is a precious holy relic. How dare you follow it..."

The surprised voice from the side made the man subconsciously reply, but soon, he realized that he should be the only passenger on this plane.

The man's pupils constricted, and his left hand immediately reached for the dress in his arms.

"Who are you? Who is flying the plane?"

"Don't worry, the Black Shadow Ninja's driving skills are very good. You see, the transport plane can drive so smoothly. After all, I don't want to damage the precious cargo."

The intruder—the handsome young man pushed him lightly, and the man fell to the floor, where it had turned into a swamp of shadows, swallowing him down.

"As for who I am?"

Roland patted the dust on the box and picked up the precious relic, revealing his white teeth.

"If you are dead, you probably don't need to know this."
