[123] Einzbern

Einzbern Castle —

"Einzbern's proposal has been accepted by the Clock Tower. Let's confirm it once more, even in a place like Einzbern..." The silver-haired girl, Mevis Clara, spoke without any awkwardness, adjusting her glasses.

"Yes." The head of Einzbern, Jubstacheit von Einzbern, nodded. "Einzbern will participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War led by the Clock Tower... or rather, the First New Holy Grail War. In this process, Einzbern will provide a Lesser Grail and the related technology of the Grail. After the Fifth Holy Grail War concludes, the Grail will be used to continue the Leylines. As compensation to Einzbern, the winner of the Sixth Holy Grail War will be granted the ability to use the Grail."

"No mistakes," Mevis Clara said after examining the documents in her hand and nodding. "So, as a gesture of Einzbern's sincerity..."

"Correct. Next, I will dispatch the candidate for the Einzbern Lesser Grail to Fuyuki City... The Clock Tower also needs to rely on this Holy Grail War to confirm its feasibility," Jubstacheit von Einzbern said as he looked at the young girl in front of him. He showed no signs of underestimating her.

People who knew her true identity would never underestimate her. They might harbor dislike or regard her with different eyes, but they would never underestimate her.

Mevis Clara was from the Clock Tower's Department of Policies. This was the thirteenth department, independent from the Twelve Faculties, teaching various rights instead of mysteries. While it wasn't a mandatory subject, the heads of magus families, as well as the sovereign of the Clock Tower, would generally spend some time studying in the Department of Policies.

Moreover, when necessary, the Department of Policies exercised its power like a court in modern society.

It judged many things, such as inheritance rights of magus families and other judgments.

...

"Indeed. In other words, Einzbern's homunculi are already on their way?" Kayneth looked at the document and nodded. "However, it will still take several years to create a fully functional Lesser Grail. The ones who have come this time are just the rejects from Einzbern's internal selection process. They don't even possess operational functions, so they can only be considered as mediocre Grails."

Kayneth pondered for a moment and continued, "Very well, until the new Lesser Grail arrives, let's stay idle for now. Otherwise, using a dish to contain an additional Heroic Spirit is already pushing it, two is the limit, and if three were to appear... the dish might just explode."

"I see, I see. In that case, can we take some time to explore?" King of Conquerors walked over and said.

"Rider... Are you still thinking about going to some comic convention or something?" Waver's mouth twitched. "That comic convention has already ended. The next one will be at least a year away!"

"What? It's already over?" Iskander said discontentedly.

"Didn't I tell you when you went that it was the last day, the very last day?" Waver said exasperatedly.

"Alright, if you want to have fun, let's go out and play, but don't make a scene here in this workshop!" Kayneth scolded the two of them.

"Haha, that's right. Even if the comic convention is over, it's fine. Come on, kid, accompany me to explore Fuyuki City. I'm curious about some places," Iskander said.

"Places you're curious about... Which ones?" Waver said, as if he suddenly remembered something.

Iskander crossed his arms and said, "For example, the Fuyuki Bridge, Ryudou Temple, and the New City Hall. But... I've been to Ryudou Temple before. Well, let's go to other places this time. Hahaha..."

...

"Phew, it's finally done." Kazuya took a moment to organize the finished drawings. He had captured all the inspiration from the battles during this time.

It was truly a wonderful experience.

This was much more interesting than his experiences in his own dreams.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the Holy Grail War began. All the Heroic Spirits had already been exposed.

Although, so far, Kazuya had not yet encountered Archer.

After packing up, storing the original manuscripts in a relatively safe place using alchemy, Kazuya left.

He wouldn't be staying here any longer. If a battle occurred and affected the original manuscripts, it would be disastrous.

After storing the original manuscripts with alchemy, Kazuya left. Watching the setting sun gradually sinking, he let out a sigh of relief. "It was surprisingly peaceful last night... no battles happened at all. But it's likely that things will heat up today. Assassin has been taken care of. Next, let's find Archer and Berserker... Maybe having a battle with these two will provide a good experience."

Another battle with Archer and Berserker, and Kazuya would have completed his goals for coming to Fuyuki City this time.

Although he had seen Berserker before, he didn't have enough Command Spells at the time, so he didn't engage. But now, things were different. He had eight Command Spells.

Even summoning Heroic Spirits capable of breaking through his twelve trials was no longer an impossible task.

...

Fuyuki City.

Even in the midst of the Holy Grail War, the city remained bustling.

In fact, in Fuyuki City, a group of people had emerged who rested during the day and came out to play at night.

For example, those who waited until night to take pictures of Fuyuki Bridge and Ryudou Temple, and other places.

After all, the Holy Grail War took place at night.

Compared to daytime, these places had more atmosphere at night.

"Hello, this is Fuyuki City Police Department. How can we assist you?" A police officer at the Fuyuki City police station answered a call.

"Yes, well... um, it's the Fuyuki Bridge!" The police officer could hear the caller's hesitation and sighed inwardly.

"Someone dressed as King of Conquerors has appeared on the Fuyuki Bridge!"

"..." The police officer's mouth twitched slightly. "Alright, I understand. We'll head over there."

With that, he hung up the phone and turned to his colleagues. "Fuyuki Bridge! Another tourist has climbed up there!"

A collective groan could be heard in the police station.

"Ah, and this time it seems to be a cosplayer, cosplaying as King of Conquerors," The police officer who took the call added. As police officers in Fuyuki City, how could they not be familiar with Fate? Climbing the Fuyuki Bridge, nearly falling, trespassing Ryudou Temple at night, and getting lost in the forest behind...

Such incidents were already quite common.
