Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

Entering the door of the church, Emiya Shirou stopped and turned to look at the blond girl wearing a cloak and hood at the door.

"...Why doesn't Saber come along?"

"Who knows." Tohsaka Rin waved her hand and kept walking inward, "Since she said that she had been to this era, she might have some friendship with the fake priest here~"

"Let's go, Emiya-san." Tong Shen smiled and patted Emiya Shirou on the shoulder, explaining, "If this is really the case, it will be of great benefit to you not to let them meet, although Uncle Bu doesn't care. , but generally speaking, the identity of a heroic spirit can be hidden as well as possible!"

"……I see."

Emiya Shirou nodded and followed suit.

"By the way, does Tohsaka-san know the priest here?"

"Of course, he is my father's student, and also my first guardian and second master after my father passed away..."

"In other words, the priest here is a magician?"

"Yes, he is a genuine fake priest~"

As he spoke, two men and one woman had already entered the main hall.

In front of the baptistery of the church, a tall figure closed the Bible in his hand, turned around calmly, and looked at the three boys and girls walking in front of the door.

Lu Bu and Deng Yougang were waiting at the door, looking at the man with interest.

He has medium-long brown hair, wearing a cassock made of Kevlar fiber material, a dark purple long windbreaker on the outside, and a cross necklace on his chest. There is a slight smile on his seemingly serious face.

"Rin, I repeatedly told you to come, but you ignored me. Now that you are in trouble, you think of me, and you even brought me some strange guests..."

At this point, the brown-haired man paused, and his eyes passed over the faces of Emiya Shirou and Tong Shen.

"So, which one of you is the seventh person in this Holy Grail War?"

Tong Shen put his right hand on Emiya Shirou's shoulder and pushed him slightly forward.

The brown-haired man's eyes moved slightly, and then the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes looked at Tong Shen with a hint of pleasure.

"Then you are the eldest son of the Matou family, Shinji Matou, right?"

"Call me Tong Shen." Tong Shen said calmly, "The name Matong will no longer exist in the future."

The brown-haired man chuckled, and said with a hint of emotion and joy in his tone: "He ran away when he was young, returned when he was old, and single-handedly destroyed a famous magic family that has been passed down for hundreds of years... He is really an incredible young man!"

Hearing the brown-haired man's words, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but be slightly startled, and couldn't help but cast his peripheral vision at the calm young man beside him.

At this moment, the brown-haired man suddenly turned his attention to Emiya Shirou.

"My name is Kotomine Kirei. What about you, the seventh Master?"

"...Emiya Shirou."

Emiya Shirou came to his senses and answered subconsciously.

"Emiya... Shirou."

Hearing the surname Emiya, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Let me confirm, you are Saber's Master, right, Shirou Emiya?"

"Indeed, I did sign a contract with Saber." Shirou Emiya shook his head and said, "But I have no interest in things like this Master and the Holy Grail War. If Masters must be like Tohsaka-san and Tong-san, For such an orthodox magician, you’d better choose another Master!”

"Choose another one..."

The corners of Kotomine Kirei's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Tohsaka Rin in surprise.

Tohsaka Rin crossed his arms and shrugged: "I told you, this is a more serious noob than Shen."

"hehe!"

Kotomine Kirei chuckled, with a hint of joy in his tone: "So, it does seem serious... Okay, I will teach him. After all, this is the first time you have asked me to beg you, Rin~ "

"..."

Tosaka Rin frowned slightly and moved his eyes unnaturally to the stone pillar next to him.

Kotomine Kirei chuckled and said: "Emiya Shirou, the Master is not something you can transfer. The so-called Master is the trial given by the Holy Grail. Once you have obtained it, you cannot give up this identity. Before you truly win the Holy Grail, this Even the pain cannot be released..."

Emiya Shirou frowned and said, "So I have to participate in this ridiculous war where seven people are fighting?"

Kotomine Kirei shook his head: "Your understanding is too superficial. Everything in the Holy Grail War is to select a being worthy of the Holy Grail. The so-called fighting of seven people is just to accomplish this purpose. It’s just a ceremony.”

"...The Holy Grail can't really be the legendary Holy Grail, right?"

"Yes, the Holy Grail that came to Fuyuki City is authentic. Just looking at the incredible existence of Servant can already prove it. And for the Holy Grail that can reach this level, the authenticity of the Holy Grail in the popular sense is meaningless, because even if It is not the legendary original, but the power it possesses can be called the Holy Grail."

Kotomine Kirei said as he walked towards Emiya Shirou and Tong Shen.

On the surface, he seemed to be talking to Emiya Shirou, but in fact, he had been paying attention to Tong Shen out of the corner of his eye.

"call--"

The whistling wind suddenly hit, Kotomine Kirei felt his cheek sting slightly, and a black Fangtian painted halberd stopped in front of his eyes.

Kotomine Kirei stopped, his brows moved slightly, and he looked at Tong Shen and the tall and majestic heroic spirit behind him with some doubts.

"If you take one more step forward, I will kill you!"

Lu Bu looked down at Kotomine Kirei and said in a calm tone.

Kotomine Kirei raised his eyebrows, feeling the extreme sense of crisis coming from Lu Bu, and couldn't help but smile: "General Lu, have you misunderstood something?"

"You never mistake hostility."

Lu Bu's calm words spread in the church, and everyone in the church was startled.

There was a hint of surprise in Kotomine Kirei's eyes.

…Did it turn out that there was a problem with this link?

A warrior's intuition is such a troublesome thing!

Generally speaking, when the conversation reaches this point, it is basically dead. However, Kotomine Kirei is Kotomine Kirei after all. He is a long-time tax evader. Even if his little thoughts are exposed in person, he still looks as usual. Everyone's eyes.

Tong Shen trusted Lu Bu's words and immediately looked at Kotomine Kirei coldly.

The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds before Kotomine Kirei chuckled, raised his hands and took a step back.

"Okay, okay, since General Lu feels that I am a threat, then I will stand here and speak..."

After saying that, Kotomine Kirei actually talked about the rules of the Holy Grail War with a normal expression.

In the empty church, Kotomine Kirei's calm words echoed, and occasionally the voices of Tong Shen and Emiya Shirou could be heard. The difference was that the former would mostly only ask more in-depth questions, while the latter would respond with an innocent attitude. Trying to argue with Kotomine Kirei.

Facing these two young masters with extremely different personalities in front of him, Kotomine Kirei felt extremely happy.

Especially Emiya Shirou, the adopted son of an old friend, turned out to be such an innocent and righteous young man.

Even though he had said that, the boy was still trying to give up his identity as Master.

But it doesn't matter, Kotomine Kirei knows how to deal with such people.

Facing Emiya Shirou's gaze, Kotomine Kirei showed a pleasant smile, and softly raised the possibility that "evil people will realize their evil wishes if they get the Holy Grail", and related the fire in the new capital ten years ago. The truth was told to them.

After learning that the disaster ten years ago was actually the aftermath of the Holy Grail War, Emiya Shirou was immediately shaken.

Although he has no desire for the Holy Grail, if the Holy Grail is obtained by an evil person and triggers a disaster like that ten years ago, Shirou Emiya became an orphan due to the disaster ten years ago and was adopted by his adoptive father. What you don’t want to see.

"Have fun, boy."

Kotomine Kirei stood in front of the church door, looking at the three people leaving, especially Emiya Shirou's back, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Even if you don't want to admit it, for partners of justice, evil that needs to be defeated is indispensable. Only when clear evil appears can your wish be truly realized..."

"..."

Emiya Shirou frowned and turned towards the street outside the church.

Tosaka Rin was a little ahead of him, and the red figure jumped down from the top of the church and landed lightly next to her.

Tong Shenze and Lu Bu walked in the front, glanced at Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou behind them, and asked softly: "Uncle Bu, are you sure that Kotomine Kirei is hostile to me?"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Of course."

Tong Shen frowned and said, "Then he should have set his sights on us."

Speaking of this, Tong Shen showed a look of hesitation on his face.

But soon, Tong Shen's face hardened, as if he had made some decision, and he lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Bu, don't ask me where I got the information. In short, that fake priest is probably Lancer." Master!"

"You defeated Lancer, and he became interested in you. He probably wants to kill us in advance, or take away control of you from me."

"That's how it is!" Lu Bu snorted coldly, "I will go back now and take the person's head!"

"Wait!" Tong Shen quickly stopped Lu Bu and whispered, "Uncle Bu, this guy has a powerful helper beside him. He is a heroic spirit who came with the Archer class in the last Holy Grail War. He stayed here for some reason. This world has not left with the end of the Holy Grail War..."

"As Archer, that guy's attack range is very large. Based on what I know about you, Uncle Bu may be able to defeat him, but it should be difficult to defeat him and save my life at the same time."

“So, it’s better to take a long-term approach!”

Lu Bu's expression softened slightly after hearing Tong Shen's tactful and flattering words.

"And there's this thing..."

"Forget it, let's keep him alive for now!"

"However, the black guy in front should be able to take action at will, right?"

As he spoke, Lu Bu stared forward and slowly raised his right hand. Black-red air surged out, converging into a dark Fangtian painted halberd in his palm.
