Chapter 778 A Long Night

Although Rin Tousaka had imagined many scenarios of her meeting her sister again, it must be said that this was the most embarrassing one.

"By the way... why are we here?"

Rin Tousaka coughed and looked around. She was very familiar with Fuyuki City and could tell at a glance that this was near the old residential area of ​​Fuyuki City. But you have to know that she was in an office building in the new city area just now?

"This is the characteristic of imaginary number magic. I can open a channel from any space and then teleport. Because I have been watching my sister, I was able to rescue my sister so quickly."

"Well... Thank you..."

Although Rin Tousaka just asked casually, Sakura quickly gave an answer, but hearing this answer, Rin Tousaka's heart sank. You have to know that teleportation is already a magic close to the magic level among modern magicians. I didn't expect Sakura to be able to perform this level of magic so easily. It must be said that it was still a big shock to Rin Tousaka.

"Is that your ASSASSIN?"

So Rin Tousaka also hurriedly changed the subject and looked at the girl standing behind Sakura. It must be said that even from Rin Toosaka's point of view, the girl's dress is quite strange. She understands why ARCHER is a little embarrassed to describe her. It's really like this... I really don't know how to say it.

Behind Sakura is a girl who looks a little older than Sakura, with blonde hair and red eyes. She has dazzling long golden hair and ears that look like wings on her head. Of course, as a heroic spirit, this is not really strange, but the strangest thing is not her appearance, but her clothes.

The girl was wearing a one-piece swimsuit-like outfit, with a gun holster on her waist and a huge gun in her hand. In addition, the long-sleeved jacket and black beret she was wearing made her look more like a soldier.

In addition, what made Rin Toosaka even more confused was that the girl's clothes were engraved with skulls and war hammers... Is this the mark of some religion?

If you say it's an ancient religion, isn't this equipment a bit too modern?

"Ahahaha..."

Hearing Rin Toosaka's question, Sakura scratched her cheek embarrassedly.

"This...actually there is something wrong..."

"Problem?"

"Yes, when I summoned the servant, maybe the medium I used was wrong, which caused the servant's spiritual base to become abnormal, so it became like this..."

"What medium did you use to summon such a servant?"

Hearing Sakura's answer, Toosaka Rin was also dumbfounded, and Sakura smiled bitterly and shifted her gaze--in fact, the medium Sakura used to summon the servant was not the ancient holy relics. Although the El-Melloi family also came into contact with many holy relics when controlling the archaeology discipline, Sakura did not use those ancient relics. Instead, she chose the amulet that Duanmu Huai left for herself, Lanis and Fiore before he left--the cross of the skull and the hammer as the medium.

Perhaps because Sakura didn't care much about the Holy Grail War, she just wanted to try to use this medium to summon the servant.

I didn't expect to summon such a servant...

"Anyway, thank you for saving me."

Tohsaka Rin didn't ask much. After all, this was Sakura's servant. If she asked too much, she would inevitably be suspected of gathering information. Of course, it was not surprising that Sakura found out about her, Tohsaka Rin. The other party had ASSASSIN, who was the best at tracking. It was estimated that ASSASSIN had been following her while she and others were exploring.

"By the way, what is that black shadow? Do you know, sister?"

Sakura also retracted her gaze at this time and looked at Tohsaka Rin seriously again, and Tohsaka Rin shook her head.

"No, I have never heard of something like this appearing in the Holy Grail War, but I can be sure that it is definitely not a servant."

Yes, as the master, both Tohsaka Rin and Sakura can be sure of this. The boiling, turbid black mud that seemed to have self-awareness was not a treasure of a servant, but more like some strange mysterious life form.

"Anyway, it seems that the thing that attacked humans in Fuyuki and made them disappear is that thing. Obviously, it should be related to the master of RIDER."

Tohsaka Rin's investigation was not in vain. Dozens of students disappeared, but there was no intelligence or clues. After witnessing the attack of the black shadow with her own eyes, Tohsaka Rin suspected that the black shadow was probably the mastermind behind it. After all, even the servants can't escape its devouring, so ordinary people may not react and will be completely eaten by the black shadow.

What exactly is that thing?

Tohsaka Rin doesn't know, and Sakura doesn't know either, but it is obvious that now is not the time to fight each other simply for the Holy Grail War.

"Well, Sakura."

Tohsaka Rin took a deep breath, looked at her sister and said.

"I hope to sign an alliance contract with you temporarily, stop fighting temporarily, fight against the black shadow and RIDER, and eliminate the threat. What do you think?"

Faced with Tohsaka Rin's request, Sakura also gave an answer without hesitation.

"I refuse."

"…………………………"

Perhaps Sakura's rejection was so straightforward that Tohsaka Rin and Archer were a little dumbfounded for a moment.

"My sister is saying this as the head of the Tosaka family and the manager of this land. If this is the case, then I will not agree to my sister's request. I hate the Tosaka family who abandoned me, so if my sister is... As the head of the Tohsaka family, I will not agree to anything you say.”

Sakura stared at Tohsaka Rin quietly. Although her voice was not loud, the firm will contained in her soft voice was something that even Tosaka Rin could feel. It was obvious that Xiao Sakura Sakura really hates the Tohsaka family. Of course, from her perspective, Tohsaka Rin can understand.

"However, if my sister is asking for help as a sister, then I can consider it."

Sakura said this and blinked at Tosaka Rin, who closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and opened her eyes again to look at Sakura.

"So, can you lend me your power, Sakura?"

"certainly."

This time, Sakura smiled and answered quickly.

"I'm happy to help my sister."

Then she spoke.

At the same time, Duanmuhuai and his party also left Einzbern's castle and returned to Fuyuki City.

"How is Illya's condition?"

Looking at Irisviel walking out of the room, Duanmuhuai asked, while Irisviel's expression was a little heavy.

"Illya...is indeed my child."

"? What are you talking about now?"

Facing Irisviel's sudden words, Duanmuhuai was confused, while Irisviel shook her head.

"To be honest, I have always been thinking that maybe Illya is not my daughter, maybe this is just a memory forged by Grandpa Ahad to control her. After all, when most artificial people are created, their memories are blank. , but that child... She is not an artificial person, but a child who was born as a human and underwent transformation..."

"I see."

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai nodded.

"So what you're saying is that because Illya has been transformed, she can't be an artificial human, right?"

"…………"

Irisviel nodded. The reason was actually very clear. Because the androids were designed before they were created, there was no need to remodel them. Only humans have the need to transform, and the Einzbern family's technical strength in this area...well, Irisviel naturally knows it.

"The child's body has been severely modified, and she has very little life left. Fortunately, Miss Medea is here...at least half of her body can be restored, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to grow again in the future."

"What does this have to do with it? Illya is only over ten years old. She hasn't reached the developmental stage yet. She might grow up in the future."

"…………That child is already eighteen years old."

"……………Aha??"

I have to say, this really stunned Duanmu Huai.

"Are you kidding? You only look ten years old?"

"Because of Einzbern's transformation, her body stopped growing... I'm afraid the child will have to live like this for the rest of her life."

Good guy, what kind of Tianshan child grandmother is this?

Duanmu Huai silently complained in his heart, and at this moment, Irisviel looked at Duanmu Huai seriously again.

"MASTER, there is actually one more thing. I want to explain to you that we have discovered the abnormal point of the problem."

"oh?"

Hearing Irisviel's words, Duanmuhuai immediately cheered up.

"real?"

"Yes, I only found out about this after communicating with Ilia."

According to Illya, she and Illya briefly communicated when Illya woke up. At that time, Illya told Illya in confusion that she had not recovered any Servants. Soul, so Illya wanted to ask if Irisviel had recovered this part of the soul.

This naturally surprised Irisviel. She was not surprised that Illyasviel was the Little Holy Grail. But the problem is that from yesterday to now, if nothing else, at least they have killed CASTER with their own hands, as well as the previous Archer. As the Little Holy Grail, Illya should have recovered the souls of at least two servants.

However, Illya said that she had not received any of them and thought Irisviel had snatched them away.

But Irisviel knew that she had not recovered the souls of her servants.

Then the problem arises.

Where have the souls of CASTER and that shining golden ARCHER gone?

"Could he be back in the Great Holy Grail?"

After listening to Irisviel's report, Duanmu Huai frowned and asked, but Irisviel shook her head.

"It's absolutely impossible. After the Third Holy Grail War, some of the functions of the Greater Holy Grail were lost, so starting from the Fourth Holy Grail War, I will be used as the container of the Lesser Holy Grail to recover the souls of the servants. Logically speaking. It is said that the souls of the defeated servants in the Holy Grail War must be recovered by me or Illya. If neither of us receives it, then it means... In this Holy Grail War, it should be And a little holy grail!”

"My goodness, is this thing still wholesale and retail? Do you have any clues?"

"No."

Irisviel shook her head.

"The technology to make the small Holy Grail is only known by the Einzbern family, and the adjustment of the artificial Holy Grail takes time, and it is impossible to complete it in a short time. Frankly speaking, if Illya and I had not recovered the soul, I would not even think of this possibility..."

"What should we do now?"

"Absorbing the soul will inevitably have a breath. I plan to join forces with Miss Medea and start a full scan of Fuyuki City from this aspect. If we can find any abnormalities..."

"I know."

Since Irisviel already has a way, Duanmu Huai will naturally not stop it.

"Then let it go."

After all, he only needs to concentrate on being a thug, and it's better to leave the brain to others.
