Chapter 858: The Night City and the Death of a Recluse
Chapter 858: The Night City and the Death of a Recluse
After successfully escaping the Shinjiya Clan, the group reappeared on a street several kilometers away from the clan's residence.
Due to Saber's intervention and the help she received from Faruzuki, Alice Phil's relationship with the Faruzuki family had significantly improved.
"Why did Xiao Ying turn out like this? And who is this teacher she spoke of?" Faruzuki asked, her voice filled with concern.
The Holy Grail War had left many unanswered questions. First, there was the mysterious death of her father, and now, her once gentle and kind sister had transformed into this dark version of herself.
"Xiao Ying's current state is partly due to the influence of 'The Evil of This World.'
And the other reason is probably the teacher she mentioned. For Xiao Ying, this teacher holds a very special place in her heart.
Ever since the Fourth Holy Grail War ended, she has likely believed that the most important person in her life was taken away by us..."
Alice Phil no longer hid what she knew about the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Upon learning that she had been summoned during the Fourth Holy Grail War and that the Holy Grail's descent would bring calamity, Saber stood frozen in shock.
"How did my father, Faruzuki Shigetsugu, die?" Faruzuki asked hesitantly, finally mustering the courage to voice her doubts.
Her hesitation stemmed from the fear of hearing an answer she didn't want to know. After all, Xiao Ying had also participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and during that time, she had deeply resented their father...
"Regarding the death of your father, Faruzuki Shigetsugu, I'm not entirely sure either. But it's almost certain that it had nothing to do with Xiao Ying or Yecheng and his group.
Although Yecheng's forces did attack the Faruzuki residence, Faruzuki Shigetsugu and his disciple, Kirei Kotomine, should have successfully escaped."
Faruzuki heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Alice Phil's words. She was grateful that her worst fears hadn't materialized; otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face Xiao Ying.
"Then, who is this teacher of Xiao Ying's, and where is he now? According to what you just said, finding him would allow Xiao Ying to return to her original self, right?"
Alice Phil was unsure how to respond to Faruzuki's further inquiries. She herself didn't have a clear understanding of who Yecheng was.
However, with Xiao Ying as Yecheng's disciple and now undergoing a dark transformation due to her emotions being influenced by 'The Evil of This World,' Alice Phil felt she couldn't keep this information from Yecheng any longer. Otherwise, this Holy Grail War might descend into chaos.
After leaving the Shinjiya residence, Alice Phil and Faruzuki parted ways. The significance of this Holy Grail War had changed.
Alice Phil now intended to return home and inform Yecheng about Xiao Ying's potential dark transformation, officially requesting his help for Illya.
Although Faruzuki was curious about the unknown magician, Yecheng, her immediate concern was finding Kirei Kotomine at the Church.
According to Alice Phil, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, her father and Kirei Kotomine had escaped, but her father had died, while Kirei Kotomine had survived.
Alice Phil believed that either she or Kirei Kotomine was lying. Faruzuki leaned towards the latter, as Kirei Kotomine had always given her an unsettling feeling.
Considering that Kirei Kotomine was a student highly praised by her father, and her own strength might not be a match for his, Yuanban Lin also brought along her Heroic Spirit, Red A.
The Holy Grail War had a rule that Church personnel could not participate, so Yuanban Lin never even considered that Kirei Kotomine, already a Church Executor, would be a Master.
As a future Heroic Spirit, Saber Emiya knew that Kirei Kotomine was the Master of Lancer Cu Chulainn, but in a one-on-one situation, he was confident in his ability to protect Yuanban Lin. Therefore, he didn't stop Yuanban Lin's actions.
No, it should be said that even if he had tried to stop her, it wouldn't have worked, given Yuanban Lin's stubborn personality; his opinions might not have been heeded.
O
The reason Yecheng went out was mainly because he had encountered online keyboard warriors.
The incident began with a racing game. He played it online with a player named "Solitary King," and their matches were closely contested. In the end, Yecheng emerged victorious with a slight advantage, winning 100 games to 99 with one draw.
However, after Yecheng's victory, the other player started berating him, calling him a "muggle" and claiming that his performance was limited by environmental factors. He boasted that if they used the same equipment, he could easily trample Yecheng.
Hearing the other player's arrogant words, Yecheng, who had planned to go out and buy some new games, accepted the challenge without a second thought. The two decided to meet again in Fuyuki City's Game Commercial Street for a rematch!
"Solitary King? Someone using such an old-fashioned ID is either a student or a severe case of Otaku Syndrome."
Seeing that Yecheng had accepted his challenge, the blond man in casual wear left his luxurious apartment and walked down the street, ignoring several women who tried to flirt with him.
Looking at the game ID on his phone, he also felt quite annoyed: "Girl Who Wants to Be a Wife?" A person using such a name was obviously a typical pervert.
Although it was a matter of luck, the fact that someone could match the King's gaming skills was indeed impressive. If this person could thoroughly entertain the King, he might spare his life."
Since they had already agreed on a meeting place and password during their previous chat, Yecheng met the so-called "Solitary King" in front of a store on Game Commercial Street.
Fuyuki City's Game Commercial Street was bustling, especially on weekend nights, so there were many young people around.
It wasn't just the "Solitary King" who approached Yecheng; he also attracted the attention of several attractive women along the way. After all, in terms of looks, he was no less handsome than the blond man.
"I've been wondering why the ID 'Solitary King' with its strong Otaku Syndrome vibe and the arrogant tone of calling others 'muggles' gave me a familiar feeling. I never expected it to be you, of all people.
Gilgamesh, you stubbornly refuse to return to the Throne of Heroes. In terms of tenacity, you're undoubtedly at the EX rank!"
Facing Yecheng, Gilgamesh, standing opposite him, also wore a grim expression, gritting his teeth.
"Girl Who Wants to Be a Wife? What a greedy and tasteless name. I should have realized it was you, you damn muggle.
I didn't expect you to be so lucky, even after entering the spacetime rift, and still not dying!"
