"Let's go, we'll head to the Tohsaka Family residence first and check on Tohsaka Tokiomi's situation."
After a final glance at the clock in Kotomine Church, Kisaragi Rin pulled Medea, preparing to leave.
As they walked down the stone steps, Lily, who had been waiting in the Demonic Hell Sanctuary, couldn't help but rush out, grabbing her Master's hand and vigorously absorbing the vital energy for a while.
Lily said with a troubled expression, "It's really too boring in there."
Kisaragi Rin couldn't do anything about this, as Lily was too fragile, and staying in the Demonic Hell Sanctuary was the most rational decision. He could only comfort her by saying, "It'll be fine after the Holy Grail War is over."
"Then I want kisses," Lily, of course, knew she was better off staying in the equipment, so her true purpose was to demand sufficient compensation.
"Absolutely not," Medea rejected this excessive request on behalf of her Master.
Listening to Lily's aggressive request, Medusa thought for a moment and decided to sneak away early.
Hmm… sneaking away without the other Servants noticing was truly thrilling and delightful.
Just as she was sketching the specific scene and poses in her mind, Medusa noticed Saber looking at her with confusion. Saber's intuition was strong; she subtly sensed that Medusa was thinking something strange, but couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Looking at the golden-haired, blue-eyed Saber, Medusa suddenly thought, "Saber is so cute, and she's both Yukinoshita Yukino's Servant and Medea's type. Should I try to give her to Master, and then sneak away behind Saber's back? Hmm… that sounds like it would be very interesting."
Thinking this, Medusa's lips curved into a smile, and she gave Saber a shy grin.
This made Saber's ahoge twitch, and an ominous premonition lingered over her.
"She wouldn't be trying to sneak a bite of my cooking, would she?"
She thought of sneaking food, but unfortunately, Saber's intuition veered in another direction.
Yukinoshita Yukino watched this scene, feeling nothing anymore, only thinking that she must let Saber drive later to prevent Medusa from speeding.
Esdeath hadn't yet discovered a hidden enemy named Medusa, because her task was to protect her Master closely, and she had been very quiet today.
Witnessing Medea and Lily's quarrel, Esdeath's gaze lingered on Medea's cute elf ears for a moment. A question suddenly arose, and she asked, "Master, how long will this Holy Grail War last?"
"How long will the Holy Grail War last?"
Regarding this question, it was naturally impossible for anyone to give a definite answer.
Opening the car door and sitting in his seat, Kisaragi Rin answered uncertainly as Saber stepped on the accelerator, "Perhaps within a week?"
Kisaragi Rin still remembered that when he was in Demon Slayer, he had given a month to kill Muzan, and everything went smoothly, with the Demon King being killed within five days.
The Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City was unlikely to last much longer, as everyone very politely wanted to kill each other, gathering seven Dragon Balls to summon a Divine Dragon for fun.
If a player wanted to hide and do nothing, only hoping that other players couldn't find him and the game would end reluctantly, his Servant would surely not agree.
Therefore, seven days would be enough to decide life and death.
The car speed blew Esdeath's hair, scattering a faint fragrance on Kisaragi Rin's face. Esdeath looked down at the mark on her chest.
"…Only seven days?"
Compared to Medusa, Saber drove much more steadily. Every movement had the meticulousness of a king, looking like the type who could pass a driving test on the first try.
The several Holy Grail War landmarks in Fuyuki City were not difficult to find. After enjoying some peace in the Hummer, Saber's speed had already slowed down, and they had arrived at the Tohsaka Family residence.
Compared to the down-to-earth Emiya Residence and the sternly decorated Matou Residence, the Tohsaka Family residence had a sense of luxury.
However, the young lady here, as always, couldn't save any money.
As the Hummer came to a stop at the intersection, before getting out of the car, Kisaragi Rin saw a gap in the curtains of the Tohsaka Family residence.
Then, without any regard for her image, Tohsaka Rin kicked open her own front door.
A red uniform paired with a black skirt, and looking up from her slipper-clad feet, she was wearing pantyhose.
Pitter-pattering in her slippers, Tohsaka Rin walked emotionlessly to the Hummer. Just as she was about to vent her anger through the half-open car window, she realized she wasn't tall enough.
Tohsaka Rin: "…"
The modified Hummer had a very high chassis, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to bravely navigate the zombie sea.
Kisaragi Rin opened the car door and asked the young lady of the Tohsaka Family, "What's wrong?"
"You actually ask what's wrong!"
Tohsaka Rin instantly gritted her teeth, her chest not rising and falling at all. She took a step closer, grabbed Kisaragi Rin's collar, and said angrily, "Yesterday, the school was attacked by terrorists with a gas explosion, and you didn't even send a message!"
"I went to the Matou Residence and couldn't find you, then I remembered you said Sakura took her grandfather to the Hospital, so I ran to the Hospital, but I couldn't find anyone there either!"
"You were gone, Sakura was gone, I even thought…"
"Hey, hey!"
Just as she was about to continue scolding Kisaragi Rin, Tohsaka Rin saw Yukinoshita Yukino sitting in the front of the car.
Her identity in Tohsaka Rin's eyes was that of an English teacher named Fujimura Taiga. This made Tohsaka Rin quickly stop her unladylike behavior, giving Kisaragi Rin a "you're dead" look.
She could only see Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino; the other Servants were nearby but were already hidden by Medea's magic.
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Tohsaka Rin, unsure how to express the many thoughts in her mind.
"No, someone actually believes that terrorists blew up a school with gas!"
"Is a gas explosion a rule of the Fate World?"
Kisaragi Rin replied with his eyes to Yukinoshita Yukino, "Don't ask. If you ask, it's a gas explosion."
With so many things happening yesterday, Kisaragi Rin naturally hadn't noticed Tohsaka Rin searching for him everywhere.
Explaining it would be troublesome, and with Medea present, Kisaragi Rin had no intention of explaining at all.
Medea smiled and waved her hand across Tohsaka Rin's eyes, immediately making her gaze become vacant.
"I ask, you answer. Where did Tohsaka Tokiomi go?"
"He died."
"How did he die?"
"He died in a great fire ten years ago."
Tohsaka Rin's answer completely confirmed it for Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino.
After all, this was the third Fourth Holy Grail War Master to die in that great fire ten years ago.
If this could still be a coincidence, then Kisaragi Rin would have to investigate if there was someone else secretly writing fate.
