I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

When someone confidently determines the development of the situation and writes the script, the completely opposite or very different results appear. It makes the person involved feel as if he has been slapped hard in the face. This situation is called a "slap in the face".

Kotomine Rizheng thought that there was no familiar that could speak human language, so he issued an order to expel the guest, but the result was that the familiar immediately spoke human language, which was a typical "slap in the face".

And the person who slapped him in the face was none other than Matou Shinji, who had already had two phone calls with Father Rizheng.

"Ahem, sound check, sound check - I am the master of Assassin, a mysterious magician from outside, can you hear me? Your Excellency, the supervisor."

Father Risei was not angry after being slapped in the face, but looked at the familiar in front of him with surprised eyes.

Rather than being a familiar, it is more appropriate to call it a small alchemy puppet. The size of the puppet is similar to that of a domestic cat, and its appearance is the same, but it has no fur. Instead, it has a shell that exudes a faint luster and is made of an unknown material. It looks like some kind of crystal.

Shinji's voice came from the belly of the crystal cat.

"I can hear you, Master of Assassin, do you have any questions?"

I don’t know if it’s because of the delay in sound transmission, but there was silence for a while before there was any feedback.

"I don't have any questions, I just want to provide information about the Caster team."

Hearing what Shinji said, Father Risei said "oh" in surprise.

Although the goal at this stage is to eliminate Caster, the relationship between Master and Master is not synergy but competition. To them, Caster's hunting battle was just an episode, and their real goal was to win the subsequent melee.

Everyone is eager to get more Command Seals. But if the enemy gets the same thing as you, then you will have no advantage at all.

Therefore, for these Masters, instead of cooperating with others to obtain the Command Seal, it is better to kill Caster alone to gain the exclusive advantage, although the former is a simpler method.

From Risei's point of view, it would be good if the masters did not hinder each other. How could they provide information with good intentions?

"I'll say it first. I don't object to you providing information, but I won't add a command spell to you because of it. And if the information you provide is wrong, I will punish you. Is that okay?"

Father Risei's conditions were not harsh, but Shinji still responded without hesitation.

"No problem, I just don't want to watch the Caster team behave like this and continue to insult the dignity of magicians, that's all. Besides, I haven't collected much information - if you are interested in the Caster team's information, you might as well stay a few minutes longer , If you are not interested, you can leave now."

None of the familiars chose to leave, and all eyes were focused on the crystal cat. Shinji did not delay and told the information he had prepared.

"Caster's real name is Gilles de Rais, the prototype of the fairy tale 'Bluebeard'. I don't need to elaborate on his deeds. You can easily check it out. Caster uses black magic. He is best at summoning and using monsters. He can easily summon monsters. Send out an army of monsters."

"The master of Caster is named Ryunosuke Uyu. He is a young man in his early twenties, with orange hair, wearing leopard-print clothes. He is a murderer who hunts for novels. He has magician qualifications but is not a magician. It must have been activated accidentally. The summoning ceremony became the master."

"There is only so much information I can provide. If the supervisor has no doubts, please allow me to withdraw."

"No."

The information provided by Shinji was consistent with what the church had, and was even more detailed. Kotomine Rimasa had nothing more to say.

There was a commotion in the darkness. The sounds of moving chairs, getting up, and leaving were mixed together, and then gradually disappeared.

The supervisor's notice has been received, and the additional information has been learned. There is no point in staying here anymore.

From this moment on, the competition begins.

At the same time, in the underground workshop of the Matou family, Shinji put down the black box in his hand and said to his sister who was sitting in the center of the rune magic circle: "Thank you for your hard work, Sakura, please release the empathy."

"Okay, brother." Sakura nodded lightly, and the runes suspended between her eyebrows slowly disappeared. The same rune crystal cat also has one on its forehead, and the resonance between the two realizes the sharing of feelings between the owner and the familiar.

Yes, the crystal cat is not Shinji's familiar, but Sakura's familiar. Shinji also supplies magic power to Scathach and Justeza, and also stores part of the magic power for fighting. There is no extra magic power to create and control familiars.

Therefore, after the church sent a signal, Shinji asked his sister to send a familiar to attend the meeting on his behalf. Every time Kotomine Rimasa said something, Sakura would repeat it. The sound made by the crystal cat later was through a high-tech communication device pre-installed in the crystal cat's body. The black box in Shen's second hand was the sender.

By the way, Sakura has more than one familiar. In addition to the crystal cat made using Professor Justeza's alchemical magic, there is also a water elemental mouse made using the Matou family's water-attribute magic. This mouse and the crystal cat went together. He joined the church—as Kariya’s familiar.

Berserker consumes more magic power than Scathach and Justeza combined, so Shinji certainly won't add to Kariya's burden.

Kariya glanced at Sakura, who was concentrating on controlling the two familiars to return home along different routes, and quietly gestured to Shinji - come with me.

Shinji knew what his uncle meant. From the moment he stepped into the house, he had been waiting for Kariya to find him.

The uncle and nephew walked into the adjacent room one after another. Sakura was in the alchemy workshop, which was an underground training ground.

Kariya lit the lamp and Shinji closed the door, just like when training.

Kariya asked expressionlessly: "The master is Assassin, and his real name is Scathach?"

Shinji replied expressionlessly: "Yes."

"Are you the master?"

"Yes." In order to convince Kariya, Shinji rolled up his sleeves and revealed his command spell.

"Justisa-sensei is from the Einzbern family?"

"yes."

"Teacher Justeza appeared a year ago, killed Zangyan, and summoned the servants three months in advance. Was all this planned? Including my participation in the war?" The more he spoke, the paler his face became. , and finally became almost livid.

Shenji could understand his uncle's attitude. No matter who he was, he would be angry if he found out that he was being used by his family and kept in the dark.

"Killing Zang Yan is, but not what comes after. Neither I nor Justeza have the ability to predict. No one knows whether you and I can obtain the qualifications of a master within one year. What we can do Just try your best to qualify to participate in the war and prepare for it. If you can't participate this time, just wait until the next time."

Hearing what Shenji said, Kariya's expression improved slightly: "Do you want the Holy Grail?"

"yes."

"Used to make wishes come true?"

"No." Shenji shook his head, "What we want is the Holy Grail itself. The current Holy Grail is no longer a universal wishing machine."

Shinji's statement aroused Kariya's curiosity: "What do you mean?"

"This is a long story."

"It doesn't matter, we have a day." Kariya said as he walked to the rest area in the corner of the training ground, took out two cups, and poured a glass of water for himself and his nephew. It seemed that he was going to fight a protracted battle.
