In this way, you will be able to go up without any scruples.
Shirou calmly walked into the Hyatt Regency Hotel and took the elevator to the thirty-second floor.
On the 32nd floor, standing at such a height, you have a panoramic view of the entire Fuyuki City, resulting in a surging feeling of being above ten thousand people.
Shirou exited the elevator and came to the door of Kayneth's luxurious suite.
Then, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock————
In the bathroom, Sola-Ui was lying in a bathtub filled with hot water, enjoying the comfortable temperature and releasing her fatigue.
However, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Sola-Ui frowned in displeasure.
"Really, what a vulgar place, knocking on the door at this time in the morning."
Sola-Ui had already had breakfast, so it couldn't have been a waiter.
So, most likely, someone Kayneth knew had come to find him.
However, after a hurried breakfast, Kayneth had rushed to the magic workshop, which was far away from here.
Because of Sola-Ui's wishes, Kayneth had found a factory in the suburbs to set up his workshop.
Knock knock knock————!
Sola-Ui, who was thinking, suddenly heard the knock again, this time louder than before.
"Coming, I'm coming!"
Regardless of whether the other party knew Kayneth or not, because of this impolite way of knocking, Sola-Ui now had no good impression of this person at all.
Sola-Ui got up from the tub, quickly dried herself, put on her bathrobe, and walked out of the bathroom with a displeased face.
...
There must have been someone in the room, but Kayneth wasn't there.
This was the report Shirou received after asking Diarmuid to investigate.
Kayneth wasn't there, but Shirou wasn't going to leave in vain.
In Kayneth's luxurious suite, the person present was probably his fiancée, Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri.
It was after Shirou knocked for the second time that the door finally opened.
"Excuse me, what is the matter?"
Walking out was a young and beautiful red-haired woman with an elegant temperament. She was wearing only a bathrobe, and her fair skin looked even more charming against the orange light of the corridor.
Although she was stunning, Shirou had no intention of wasting time. He directly stepped forward, grabbed Sola-Ui by the neck, and pushed her into the room.
Diarmuid, who had released his spiritualization, followed behind Shirou and closed the door of the suite very quietly.
"Woo woo woo..."
Looking at Sola-Ui, whose hands and feet were trapped with ropes, her mouth sealed with duct tape, and her face full of horror, Shirou nodded with satisfaction.
"You know where you are now, right? I'm going to kill you if you dare to shout, and then I'll jump out of the window."
Hearing this, Sola-Ui paused for a moment, then turned her head to look out the window.
It was the thirty-second floor...
Was this guy who kidnapped her a fool?
"She doesn't seem to believe me."
Shirou spoke to Diarmuid, who was guarding the surroundings.
"Lancer, put on a show for her."
"Yes!"
Of course, Diarmuid would not actually jump off the building, as that small movement alone would attract the attention of hotel security.
So he spiritualized directly in front of Sola-Ui.
Sola-Ui, seeing this scene, was no fool. Kayneth had been preparing for the Holy Grail War, so she also knew some of the details.
For example: Heroic Spirits, Command Spells, and the Holy Grail.
Among them, the fact that a Heroic Spirit can spiritualize and materialize was something Sola-Ui naturally knew.
Based on the spear in Diarmuid's hand, she deduced he was a Servant of the Lancer Class.
Seeing Sola-Ui's expression change, Shirou smiled and tore the tape from her mouth.
Sola-Ui, finally able to speak, immediately asked:
"Who the hell are you? Why are you doing this? I'm———— mmm!"
"I ask, you answer. Understand?"
Shirou projected a large black knife and placed it against Sola-Ui's soft neck. She obediently closed her mouth, her moist eyes full of pleas for mercy.
"Where is Kayneth?"
"At his magic workshop."
Kayneth, who originally intended to use the upper floor of the Hyatt Regency as a workshop, had abandoned the idea after the summoning failed.
In order to prevent Sola-Ui from being harmed by his experiments, he had bought a factory in the suburbs and transformed it.
"When did he go out?"
"After breakfast was over, around seven o'clock."
"Where is his money and research data?"
"Over there, that's his bedroom."
Sola-Ui gestured toward the room with her eyes.
After learning where Kayneth was, Shirou saw that she was being cooperative and nodded.
"Good. You managed to save your life."
Hearing this, Sola-Ui immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck and fainted with a soft moan.
Afterward, Shirou took Kayneth's cash and magic research files and left the Hyatt Regency as fast as he could.
Kayneth, as a nobleman among magi, naturally had no shortage of money, but most of it was stored in accounts; he didn't carry too much cash.
Still, it was a significant amount for Shirou.
Then, Shirou took a taxi and headed to the suburbs.
...
"Lancer, take his breath away and let me finish him."
"Understood."
Arriving at the location of the workshop, Shirou sent Diarmuid into the factory first.
Kayneth is the head of the Archibald family, a lineage of magi lasting nine generations. He is a genius with outstanding achievements and a very high magic rank.
However, it is still impossible for him to compete with a Heroic Spirit.
Not to mention that Diarmuid, with A+ speed, could kill Kayneth with a single blow before he could react. Even without that, Diarmuid's B-rank Magic Resistance allowed him to play with him unscathed.
Unless one reaches the level of using a Reality Marble, a magus fighting a Heroic Spirit is simply seeking death.
At this moment, Kayneth, who was inside the workshop, suddenly noticed something strange at the factory gate.
Then he saw the sharp red tip of a spear easily cut through the iron door.
"Who goes there!?"
Kayneth hurriedly grabbed a large ceramic jar from the table next to him and slammed it to the ground.
A puddle of mercury immediately gushed out from the broken jar!
