The calm always precedes the storm.
After a brief silence, a violent clamor erupted.
Kirei Kotomine couldn't believe his eyes.
As someone who had participated in two Holy Grail Wars, he was extremely sensitive to Servants and Noble Phantasms.
And what Nan Xiaoji used this time was clearly a Noble Phantasm!
What Kirei Kotomine couldn't discern, however, was whether it was the Noble Phantasm of the cat playing the suona behind Nan Xiaoji, or that of another hidden Servant.
It couldn't possibly be Nan Xiaoji's own Noble Phantasm, could it?
The existing Noble Phantasms among Magi are few and far between globally.
Although Bazzett, from the Seal Designation Enforcement Bureau, who had contacted him a few days ago about coming to Fuyuki to cooperate, her family seemed to possess a Noble Phantasm.
Could it be that this Nan Xiaoji also had one?
No, impossible.
The Sajou Family couldn't possibly have this much power.
If they had that power, they wouldn't need to buy the land he sold and move all the way to Fuyuki.
How could their family possess a Noble Phantasm in that barren place, Tokyo?
So, this Noble Phantasm must belong to that cat!
Playing the suona?
Mirror of the Underworld?
Aren't these all related to death?
This must be that cat's Noble Phantasm!
But the Holy Grail War hasn't even started, how did he summon this cat?
Could it be that after the Holy Grail War begins, he will automatically be counted as one of the Masters?
Did he summon it early?
Oh, oh, this is too terrifying.
Before anyone else summons a Servant, he is practically invincible in Fuyuki!
He is the number one person in Fuyuki~!
Although… not including himself…
But what everyone didn't expect was that just the day before, he was Fuyuki's notorious good-for-nothing!
He was playing dumb to catch a tiger!
If it weren't for this Vampire attack, he might have continued to deceive others until the Holy Grail War began, then ambush everyone!
Unexpectedly, by a strange twist of fate, his scheme was foiled, which also increased his chances of winning the Holy Grail War!
This is too delightful~!
Meanwhile, Ciel was staring intently at Nan Xiaoji.
…He can kill Dead Apostles?
That means he can also kill Roa…
Then couldn't I ask him for help?
As long as Roa can be killed, I'll pay any price!
On the other side.
Matou Zouken was also scared half to death.
He never expected that the newly arrived Sajou Family would also have the ability to participate in the Holy Grail War.
If he hadn't, on a whim, come to watch this farce, he wouldn't have known about this.
It seems, in addition to the Three Families, he also needs to guard against the Sajou Family.
…Hehe, I have an idea~!
Rin Tohsaka was also stunned; she never imagined that the good-for-nothing from her neighboring class, the guy Sajou Ayaka said was always idle and uneducated, was actually so powerful!
Could it be that Sajou Ayaka was jealous of him and slandered him every day?
Rin Tohsaka looked back and thought, the guy she saw at the sports field that day who almost went high jumping, it seemed to be him…
He's a formidable opponent! Absolutely a formidable opponent!
She must consider him a formidable opponent from now on; she must defeat him!
The honor of the Tohsaka Family will be protected by me!
Arcueid was also very shocked.
Nero was a target even she couldn't easily defeat.
Unexpectedly, in front of this man, he was so vulnerable.
His Noble Phantasm… is a lethal weapon for killing Vampires!
It seems… I can cooperate with him.
I just don't know if his Noble Phantasm can remove Roa's reincarnation spell…
Subsequently.
All the onlookers dispersed.
Only Jie Hinako, standing on a distant tall building, remained.
Watching Nan Xiaoji defeat Nero, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Fortunately, she didn't act rashly, otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to handle this Sajou Family.
So she called Marisbury to report the matter.
"Hello, this is what happened…"
After listening, Marisbury weakly asked, "At that time, there was no one from the Sajou Family, only that beast on the roof. Why didn't you just take the beast away? Could they possibly instantly teleport back and kill you?"
"Uh…" Jie Hinako instantly turned to stone.
Oh, right.
Why didn't I just grab that beast? Why did I waste so much time testing their strength?
"This… they have Servants, you know… they can also teleport using Command Spells… Hahaha…" Jie Hinako said awkwardly.
…Marisbury was speechless.
However, the main point this time was to test if this Holy Grail War was dangerous; that beast was actually irrelevant.
"You stay in Fuyuki. When you have time, go check the location of the Greater Grail and see if this Holy Grail War poses any danger."
"Okay…" Jie Hinako nodded.
Then she hung up the phone.
Holy Grail War.
The victor can obtain the Holy Grail.
That is an omnipotent wish-granting machine.
Marisbury, if you're so cautious, then don't participate.
Anyway, I've decided to claim this Holy Grail.
…I want to wish for that man to be revived!
Thinking of this, Jie Hinako also vanished into the night.
…
The next day.
Sajou Ayaka woke up early.
Although Nan Xiaoji's power yesterday felt somewhat unreal to her, she wasn't foolish; what needed to be accepted, she accepted.
She slowly walked to the kitchen, preparing to make breakfast and today's lunch bento.
When she reached the kitchen doorway, she was utterly dumbfounded.
Because Saajou Aika, who hadn't entered the kitchen for over a decade, was now humming a tune, happily making a bento with a blissful expression.
"Sister… what… what medicine did you take?" Sajou Ayaka was utterly bewildered.
At the same time, she was also overjoyed and tearful.
Her useless sister had finally pulled herself together!
"Oh my, I woke up to make a bento for Anata~!" Saajou Aika giggled.
Sajou Ayaka was stunned.
For Nan Xiaoji?
Was her sister going to be 'taken' by that scoundrel Nan Xiaoji???
Immediately after, Aika Sajyou, carrying a pink bento box, skipped to Nan Xiaoji's room to give it to him.
"Wait!" Sajou Ayaka suddenly called out to her, "Sister, you didn't just make one bento for Nan Xiaoji, did you? You didn't make any for us, including yourself, right?"
"Oh! I forgot! My bento is up to you, Ayaka! You make it normally anyway!"
With that, Saajou Aika skipped away.
…Sajou Ayaka was now fuming.
What kind of love potion did Nan Xiaoji give her sister…
Damn it!!!
Helpless, she could only continue to make breakfast and bento.
…
Nan Xiaoji arrived at school with the pink bento made by Aika Sajyou.
He sat in Shinji Matou's original seat.
"Ding~! Senpai, you haven't received your reward for yesterday's homeland defense mission yet~!" BB-chan jumped out and shouted.
"Oh wow~! Senpai, this is a girl's bento, isn't it? Is this what gaining love looks like?"
"I knew I told Senpai to work hard~!"
"Hmph~! This must be your doing!" Nan Xiaoji said disdainfully.
"If you can get Shinji to give Sakura to me, then I'll say you're amazing!"
BB-chan put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "How is that possible? BB is a system, not the will of this world—"
She hadn't finished speaking when she was startled by the person behind Nan Xiaoji.
Nan Xiaoji looked back.
It turned out to be Shinji, holding a blushing Sakura, approaching him.
"Nan-kun, this is my sister from junior high, she's also at our school. She really admires you, so she'll be your maid from now on!" Shinji Matou said with a chuckle.
Nan Xiaoji glared at BB.
BB was now utterly embarrassed.
She couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
