Bang!
His hand slammed heavily on the tabletop; Kiritsugu rarely lost his composure for a moment.
He still underestimated the Holy Grail War too much.
Bringing Irisviel here specially, besides her own will, was also because Kiritsugu felt it would be helpful to choose to do so.
But didn't expect, just at the beginning, he fell into such a miserable state.
According to Saber's description, it was highly likely she was abducted by Assassin.
Being a bit more extreme, the scabbard would also be discovered by the opponent.
In that case, Saber's True Name would be detected at once.
The bombardment suddenly attacking from the high sky was the biggest variable.
Otherwise, merely Assassin's appearance wouldn't cause such passivity.
"The best way now is to find Assassin's location as soon as possible and take back Iri."
Whether her nature or the scabbard, those were indispensable factors.
"I will help."
Although the relationship with Kiritsugu was not very good, Saber still wouldn't tolerate such humiliation.
The person she wanted to protect was not only injured but also abducted or something...
How could she, the King of Knights, remain indifferent?
Whatever she said, she bad to snatch the person back.
"Assassin cannot be safe and sound either; it is best to complete the raid within today."
Reasoning about the new operation, Kiritsugu could only choose to act with Saber at this time.
After witnessing last night's battle, he didn't think he was sure to face the unknown war situation.
"The first thing to do is to find the location of Assassin and his Master."
...
"Rider, even if you changed into modern clothes, isn't it too flamboyant?"
"Indeed, my appearance doesn't look like a Japanese no matter how one looks."
"You are considered very conspicuous even among foreigners..."
Looking at Lelouch walking around randomly on the street, Waver was more or less worried.
Without him, Rider's appearance was simply too easy to attract attention.
Good temperament, elegant behavior, handsome appearance...
Simply like a prince in a fairy tale.
It would be strange instead if not being noticed.
"Don't worry. In this kind of market, nothing will happen."
A square with such a large flow of people, if there were Servants attacking in this situation, maybe what should be worried about wasn't them, but the so-called Church.
"Mn?"
"There is a flow of magical energy..."
But just at this time, Waver sensed an abnormality in a certain place; he turned his head looking over.
"Servants are having a struggle in other places."
"Pity..."
Lelouch lifted the black tea and took a sip, glancing at the bottom of his feet, tone regretful.
He originally wanted to try if there were Servants with the bravery of a boor like Suzaku coming to attack, specially preparing a big gift.
But now it seemed it couldn't be used.
"Let's go."
"Oh!"
...
"This guy? Is it a Servant?"
Waving the long spear in hand, attire not changed, Kyoko Sakura looked at the figure in front wearing black armor all over and tying a chopping axe on the right arm.
She just passed through this alleyway, causing a surprise attack encounter.
Bang!!
Clang!
The strength of the opponent's slash was still within her bearing range; it could be considered a degree easily received.
But the combat consciousness was quite flexible...
"That is not a Servant..."
"Should be a familiar, but able to manipulate such a familiar, perhaps only Caster proficient in magecraft."
In the distance, Kayneth watching here concluded the opponent's identity.
"Although in terms of combat power it is inferior to Lancer, it is quite difficult to deal with."
Even without Kayneth's explanation, Sola as the Master could detect the problem therein.
"Heh, post-meal exercise, considered qualified."
Making such an evaluation, Kyoko Sakura also didn't want to behave too unseemly in front of those two people.
Waving the long spear in hand, stabbing towards the figure in front, the opponent twisted waist avoiding the direct hit.
"Pity..."
"It's useless just to dodge."
The spear piercing through produced a turn from the front end, twisting like nunchaku, then hitting towards its side abdomen.
Bang!
Crack!
Like glass being shattered, the familiar in front shattered and disappeared.
"Eh, is the defensive aspect so fragile?"
"Gone just after taking one hit."
Looking at this scene in astonishment, Kyoko Sakura revealed a puzzled expression.
Clearly looking at the opponent's equipment being very strong, but this phenomenon seemed a bit inconsistent with the performance.
"So that's it, is this the fighting style here?"
A voice came from the empty corner; Kyoko Sakura subsequently turned her head to look over, only seeing a blonde young man walking out from there.
"You are the master of that familiar?"
"Not a Master..."
"Should be the so-called Caster?"
Holding the long spear pointing at the opponent with one hand, although Kyoko Sakura didn't know why the opponent was confident to dare to show his face, it also fit her intention.
"Mn, I don't quite understand the rules in here."
"The identity arranged for me is indeed something Cas."
"This is not important. Your goal and mine are both for this, aren't they?"
Taking out the Dragon Ball, Jonouchi grinned.
"Heh, honestly hand it over."
"That won't do."
...
"Situation is a bit wrong."
"Mn? Why say so?"
Kayneth's words caused Sola's puzzlement; the two communicated sitting in the car.
"That Dragon Ball, normally should be kept by the Master."
"As for existence, it should be the same as Command Spells; you told me before."
"It is so..."
"But the opponent's Dragon Ball being held by Caster aside, he a Magus actually dares to face Lancer, one of the Three Knight Classes?"
Judging from the observed data, Caster's numerical values except Luck, no matter which item, were far lower than Lancer.
Even in the aspect of Magical Energy, it should be the domain Caster was best at, but Lancer was even higher than him?
In this situation, the opponent dared to show his face; it was really abnormal.
'Lancer, solve him as soon as possible; there may be fraud!'
Sola, who reacted, urged at once.
"We also stay away a bit."
To avoid the situation of being involved in the bombardment last night happening, Kayneth also didn't dare to be arrogant.
"Coming out swaggering, then don't blame me!"
Looking at the Caster in front, Kyoko Sakura had no intention of being polite.
The long spear waved instantly, preparing to stab forward.
"Oops..."
"Just now... you declared an attack, didn't you?"
Not panicked, Jonouchi just put hands on hips, smiling very proudly.
"!"
Also at this time, Kyoko Sakura suddenly found herself unable to move.
"What?"
Looking down, strange magic circles appeared on her both arms.
"Spellbinding Circle (Hexagram Curse)!"
Light rings surrounded the periphery, strictly restricting her like chains.
Except for both feet being able to move slightly, the movements of arms were completely sealed.
"This is your magecraft?"
Instilled with corresponding knowledge, she had never encountered such an opponent.
Clearly she didn't see the opponent make any movement, she got hit first.
Towards this, Jonouchi responded confidently.
"At the instant you intended to attack me, the Trap Card had already activated..."
[TN: Spellbinding Circle: Select 1 monster on the opponent's field to activate. The selected monster cannot attack, nor can it change its battle position. When the selected monster is destroyed, this card is destroyed. Actual performance is sealing the opponent's auto-attacks; can be seen like this, called "Disarm"? For those opponents proficient in fighting and melee combat, it should be the biggest trouble.]
