I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The voice that asked the question was low and masculine, but it was still obvious that it was a female voice.

The answering voice was thin and weak, with a hint of girlish delicacy. There is no doubt that this is the voice of the woman that Shenji and others were following before. The former is probably the veteran who helped her deal with the aftermath. It is very possible that the barrier in the apartment was also made by her.

The two mysterious women in the room did not realize that anyone was eavesdropping and continued the conversation.

"Go there again?"

"Um."

"I knew it would be like this. You came back later today than yesterday. Is that kid back?"

"No." The thin voice showed a bit of disappointment, "I just want to see more of his home and the city where he lives."

"You are so cute and stupid." The deep voice sighed, "But you know, right? We are no longer human beings, and we are destined to not be able to get along with him like before."

"Well, I know." The slender voice revealed a hint of loneliness, "I just want to look at him quietly like this without letting him know my existence."

"Your attitude makes me speechless. Why didn't I see that that kid had such great magic power? Not only did he marry such a beautiful wife, but he also had a silly woman like you who was willing to give. I heard that he There seems to be another woman - is this still the cold-blooded brat I knew back then?"

"No, that's just his disguise. That's not what he is in his heart."

"Why don't you have any humor at all? It's very tiring to live like this. I probably know what that kid is thinking. He looks cold on the outside, but in fact he is a naive idealist at heart. I always thought he would drown to death with his ideals like this, but I didn't expect him. She actually got married and gave birth to a beautiful daughter. Speaking of which, her wife and her daughter have a lot of similarities with us, maybe the distance between us is not that far away."

"Maybe, he might not reject us, but it's impossible like before. No human being can stand us looking at them the way we look at food, and I can't stand myself looking at him like this."

"Here we go again, here we go again, I'm just saying it. Even if we don't care about the distance between humans and vampires, that adult will not allow us to get into trouble. This city is not simple, and there are several places that give me a sense of danger. I feel like someone is watching me even when I am hiding in the barrier. If there are any omissions in that adult's plan due to personal emotional problems, then we are really sorry for the second life given by that adult. .”

"I know, I know." The thin voice became weaker and weaker.

"It's good to know." The deep voice also turned soft, "It's almost time. It's time to eat. I'm going to get the blood bag. Although you said that just now, you are unwilling to suck blood directly from humans. In fact, you have been using blood bags. I still have some illusions in my heart."

"Isn't it the same for you? He is our only relative."

"yes."

"..."

"..."

Peace returned to the dark room again. Kirie, who existed in an incorporeal form, quietly exited the room and joined his companions.

"Now, Shenji, what should we do next? Should we arrest them?"

"Why, you really want to catch them?" Shenji asked back. He was the one who informed Kirie through his mental power just now to let her leave.

"I don't want to." Kirie shook her head, "They don't seem to be the kind of vampires who regard humans as food and inferior creatures."

"There are good people and bad people, and the same goes for vampires. Although there are not many in number, there are indeed a small number of vampires who choose to hide in the shadows of humans and coexist harmoniously with humans. The biggest characteristic of this group of people is that they do not directly suck blood or create servants. , the demand for blood is mostly met in places such as blood packs, hospitals, and blood donation stations. When encountering such harmless vampires, most magicians or representatives of the church will choose to turn a blind eye, unless a certain person Some extremists who advocate the extermination of vampires."

"That's why you didn't arrest them?" Kirie asked after hearing Shenji's explanation.

"This is only a secondary reason. The main reason is that these two women are likely to be related to Emiya Kiritsugu, and the relationship is not shallow. Now that Kiritsugu hasn't come back, I can't take action rashly."

This is Shen Er's biggest concern. Over the years, he and Kiritsugu have been cooperating happily, and they will need to continue their cooperation in the next Holy Grail War. Although he was very curious about the identity of the master mentioned by the two women and what he wanted to do in Fuyuki, Shinji still held back for the time being. He didn't want to create a situation that would break the relationship with Kiritsugu and have a negative impact on the Holy Grail War.

Shinji was also very curious about the identities of the two women. According to what he knew about Kiritsugu, all of Kiritsugu's relatives were dead except for those who lived at Emiya's house. Of those who died, some did become vampires, but only one, not two.

That person's name is Xia Lei, a girl from a small island in Southeast Asia. She is Kiritsugu's childhood sweetheart and first love. Because he secretly drank the unfinished potion made by Kiritsugu's father, Emiya Noriken, he turned into a ghoul (the stage before the Dead Apostle). As a result, he attracted the agents of the Holy Church and the executors of the Magic Association. , causing the entire island to turn into a sea of ​​fire. Except for Kiritsugu, who was taken away by his adoptive mother, none of the residents on the island survived.

Incidentally, the leader of the executors at that time was Cornelius Aruba. In 1998, he ran to Kanfuko City and became Araya Soren's assistant. He was an idiot who dared to violate the taboo and call Orange "Painful Red". As a result, he was first beaten violently by Orange, then his hand was broken by Fujino, then he was severely injured by Sakura, and finally he was shot in the head by Kiritsugu, which was regarded as revenge for his childhood.

Shenji didn't think that Xia Lei, who was just a ghoul, could escape the killings of the executors and agents. Even if she escaped, she couldn't explain the identity of the other person. It seems that the answer can only be known when Kiritsugu comes back. After all, Shinji's understanding of Kiritsugu is only based on a few plots in his previous life, which is not enough to cover the first half of Kiritsugu's life. Maybe something happened at a point in time that Shinji doesn't know. What's going on? You must know that Kiritsugu's popularity with women is not much worse than that of Shinji.

Before leaving, Kirie asked again: "Just leave them alone?"

"Of course not." Shenji shook his head, "For Kiritsugu's sake, I can refrain from arresting people for the time being, but that doesn't mean I will let them roam around the city as they please. Who would be better to send to monitor them?"

"Let me do it. My eyes are suitable for this kind of work." Fujino asked.

"No, in that case it would be too stressful for Kirie to stare at the monitoring center alone. Let me think about it... OK, can I ask you for a favor?"

Shenji, who was folding his arms and thinking with his head down, suddenly raised his head and smiled at a telephone pole not far away. There was a hint of enchanting purple looming there.

PS: For details about Aruba, please refer to Chapter 80 of "Sky Realm". The traitor asked Kiritsugu to snatch the head not only to prevent the girls from losing their lives, but also to take revenge. Shirou's attribute of being a fatal criminal is also derived from Kiritsugu, as is his character of drowning while holding on to his ideals. Unfortunately, Shirou will not reach the red A ending in the three lines. There is Illya in the main line, Rin in UBW, and HF is directly Give up on ideals.
