I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The moment Yusitisa appeared, Kuu Maiya's slightly relaxed body immediately tensed up. The female warrior, who had been fighting for as long as she could remember, raised her pistol as quickly as possible and aimed at Justisa.

Just when she was about to shoot, she saw clearly the face that looked exactly like Irisviel's, and her finger on the trigger couldn't help but slow down for a few seconds.

It was in these few seconds that Maiya lost the chance to shoot. Several strands of thin thread separated from Justeza's hand, one of which shredded the pistol, and the other strands wrapped around Maiya's joints.

Maiya subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she couldn't get rid of this thin thread that seemed to break if pulled.

"Miss Maiya!"

In Irisviel's belated exclamation, Maiya felt as if a strong electric current was passing through her body. The strong numbness deprived her of control of her body, and she soon lay down like Irisviel. on the ground.

Justisa was still worried and added more threads to Maiya's body. She was sure that even Scathach would take some time to break free, and then nodded with satisfaction. Before taking action, Shenji had specially reminded her that Kuu Maiya was an outstanding warrior and that she must be careful when dealing with her and not leave any chance for her to leak information.

"I just used magic to make Miss Maiya incapacitated, don't worry."

Hearing Justeza's words, Irisviel breathed a sigh of relief. It was only then that she remembered the self-introduction she had just heard.

"Well, you said you were-"

"Justisa, your prototype - no, your ancestor or sister should be more suitable for you."

"Lady Justeza?" In the Einzbern family, Justeisa is a sacred name, and everyone will use the honorific title when talking about her.

"You can call me sister if you want." Justeza said with a smile, and this smile made Irisviel feel inexplicably kind.

"But, but... Lady Justeza has already..." Irisviel hesitated.

"It has become the 'Great Holy Grail', right?"

"Yeah." Irisviel nodded slightly.

"It was Justessa's body that became the Great Holy Grail, and it is Justeisa's soul that stands before you now."

As Yustisa said, she completed the process of changing from a physical body to a spiritual body, and then from a spiritual body to a physical body.

"I think you can understand my way of being."

"Is it really... Lady Justeza?"

"It's me. Okay, I know you have a lot of questions to ask, and I will tell you slowly later, but this is not a place for a long conversation. Let's change places. The person who came to pick me up has arrived."

As soon as she finished speaking, Irisviel received the alarm of the defense barrier.

Tens of seconds later, the specially installed steel door with a thickness of more than 5 centimeters was cut open like tofu, and two familiar figures of Irisviel walked into the workshop.

"Assassin, and Assassin's Master!" Irisviel's eyes widened.

Shinji waved to the Einzbern sisters: "Justeza, we are here to pick you up. The car is parked outside the door. Let's leave now. Justeza is in charge of Miss Irisviel. , Assassin is in charge of Miss Kuu Maiya.”

"Wait, wait, where are you taking us?" Irisviel asked slightly panicked.

"Go to Ryudou Temple. Tonight, I will end the Holy Grail War." Shinji patted his cheek and deliberately put on a ferocious expression, "Okay, Miss Irisviel, Miss Kuu Maiya, I declare that you Kidnapped."

…

Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber stayed in the suburbs of Fuyuki City all day today, near the home of old man Mackenzie. This is the base of Rider and his master, Waver Velvet, an ordinary home that is insulated from magic.

Because of this, Kiritsugu has never been able to grasp the whereabouts of the Rider team. He did not expect that a magician's stronghold was not a magic workshop, but an ordinary private home.

If the landowner of Fuyuki City and the secret controller Tohsaka Tokiomi hadn't shared the information with Irisviel, Kiritsugu might not have been able to find Waver's stronghold until the end of the Holy Grail War.

This kind of disguise that exploited the magician's blind spot made Kiritsugu look at Waver with admiration and at the same time, he also fell into conflict.

He showed ignorance and cowardice in the battle, and seemed to have no combat experience at all.

But the strategy of choosing a stronghold is so clever, at least it is much smarter than the blatant establishment of strongholds like Yu Sanjia and Kenneth.

Many times, the amount of experience determines an individual's ability. Most of the abilities of young birds who lack experience are not good, or at least they cannot be used. But this is not a special case, such as Kiritsugu himself. When Kiritsugu first debuted, he was also inexperienced, but his skills were more sophisticated and ruthless than many of his more experienced peers.

Could this boy named Weber be as troublesome as himself?

The fact that Waver and Rider left just before Saber came to visit provided the strongest evidence for this idea. If that's the case, continuing to wait is a waste of time.

However, out of the patience and caution of a magician killer, Kiritsugu still stayed at the observation point not far from the Mackenzie home to observe, and asked Saber to wander near the Mackenzie home to attract the attention of Rider who might appear.

The anxiety of wasting precious time and the caution of not making hasty judgments conflicted in Kiritsugu's heart.

Just when Kiritsugu began to feel impatient with the thought cycle without answers, his mobile phone rang.

The only one who would contact him at this time was Kuu Maiya, so Kiritsugu quickly answered the phone.

"Maiya?"

"Sorry, no, Emiya Kiritsugu-san."

The unheard male voice on the phone made Kiritsugu's heart feel as if he had fallen into an abyss. He asked in a voice without any warmth.

"Who are you? Where is Maiya?"

"I am an insignificant kidnapper. Your wife and lover are currently in my hands. I called you to make conditions."

Kiritsugu was so anxious that he had no time to care about the title of "lover": "What are the conditions?"

"It's very simple. Go to the appointment on time tonight. I will send out the invitation at the right time. As long as you don't leave Fuyuki City, you can receive it. Of course, you have to find out where I am and go to the appointment in advance. But I don't recommend it. You do this because it will completely destroy the possibility of winning this Holy Grail War."

Kiritsugu was silent for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but I want to hear Maiya and Airi's voices first."

"I'm sorry that I can't meet your request because I'm not staying with the hostages right now. I've already made the request. I hope you can keep your appointment on time."

"Wait for me--"

Kiritsugu wanted to say something more, but there was only a series of short busy tones on the receiver.
