The next few days were calm.
The killer Ryunosuke disappeared and seemed to have left Fuyuki City.
Tōsaka Tokiomi stayed at home and did not go out.
After going to the fire station, Matou Kariya quickly returned home and never went out again.
The other Masters did nothing noteworthy either.
Shinji continued to be a stay-at-home. Every day, he either trained at home according to Scathach's requirements or played games with Sakura - not games played by ordinary children, but rune puzzle games designed by Scathach. Ordinary people like Tsuruya can play, and magicians like Shinji and Sakura can also play, and the gameplay is similar. After a few months, this little game has become an entertainment activity for everyone in the Matou family.
Do you think that the Masters are being too cautious, or even cowardly
Shinji did not deny this, and neither did any other master except that madman Ryunosuke. Although magicians possess mysterious powers, they are still human beings, and their bodies are not much stronger than ordinary humans. Cutting the skin will cause bleeding, and injuring vital parts will cause death.
This is not the case with Servants. Even the weakest Servant possesses power far beyond that of humans. On the entire Earth, including those old monsters and non-humans who have lived for who knows how many years, there are no more than a dozen people who can confront Servants head-on.
Therefore, the primary task of the Holy Grail War is not to win, but to preserve oneself - if you die, you will lose everything.
Until they are sure of their own safety, the Masters carefully hide in the dark and collect information in various ways.
Tōsaka Tokiomi used his disciple Kotomine Kirei and the Cathedral Church, Kariya used his brother Tsuruya's growing influence in the secular world, Kayneth used his own familiars, and Shinji used the job characteristics of Assassin and Scathach's bug-like skills - being able to roam the city so recklessly without being noticed by other Masters is a job characteristic that only Assassin possesses.
As for Shinji's ally, Justisa, another trump card, she has already left Fuyuki City and headed for the F Airport, which is the closest to Fuyuki City.
She was going there to meet someone, someone who was indispensable to this Holy Grail War, a mannequin who should theoretically be her copy.
The system of the Holy Grail War was constructed by Einzbern. In addition to the body of Justissa, which is called the "Great Holy Grail" and is the core of the system, a necessary device for achieving the third magic is needed to stabilize the magic channel between the "Great Holy Grail" and the real world. This device is called the "Small Holy Grail". The magicians other than the "Three Great Families" are fighting for this "Small Holy Grail". The "Holy Grail War" derived from the fight for the "Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes" is a scam in a sense.
The "Little Holy Grail" is usually provided by Einzbern, that is, the artificial humans produced by Einzbern. It is essentially a magical instrument with a human form, and the blueprint and prototype of all artificial humans is Justisia.
However, Justissa does not trust the Einzbern family from which she came. It was they who violated the rules during the Third Holy Grail War that led to the contamination of the Holy Grail. This is also the reason why Justissa did not contact the Einzbern family after she appeared in the world, but instead deliberately hid her existence.
The so-called meeting was just her observing in secret and she would not show up to expose her presence.
Because she was in a spirit state that was invisible to the naked eye, Justisa passed through the wall without any hindrance, passed the security check, and entered the apron that only staff could enter.
Although F Airport is located in western Japan and radiates to several surrounding cities, it does not cover a large area because it is the 1990s when technology is not particularly advanced. Yustisa easily found an observation point with a good view and waited quietly.
According to the information she obtained through suggestion magic, the Einzbern charter plane should arrive at noon today.
The intelligence was correct. At around 13:00, a small passenger plane descended from the sky and slowly landed on the runway. The Vorale logo was prominently printed on the fuselage.
This logo represents a famous Italian airline, which mainly operates domestic and international routes in Central and Western Europe, and also provides charter services for dignitaries.
"This should be it." Combining the information collected by the Matou family in advance, Yustisa locked on the target.
The passenger plane taxied slower and slower on the runway, and finally stopped steadily.
A few minutes later, the mobile elevator was connected to the hatch and the hatch opened.
A young woman dressed in pure white walked out of the cabin. She wore a white velvet hat, a white coat, and a white knee-length skirt. With her snow-white skin and long silver hair, she looked like a pure white princess from a fairy tale, which was very suitable for the midwinter season.
The woman, whose appearance was exactly the same as Yustisa's, looked up at the soft afternoon sunlight, a relaxed smile on her face, and seemed to be saying something.
Behind the woman, there was a short boy. Judging from his appearance, the boy was not inferior to the woman in front of him. His long golden hair was simply raised, and he was wearing a simple black suit, which exuded a capable and cool aura, which complemented the pure white woman who was looking at him with a smile.
If a woman is a princess in a fairy tale, then a boy is the princess's knight.
If there was anything that was not harmonious, it was probably that the boy's suit was too thin. It was easy to catch a cold in winter. However, Yustisa knew that the boy would not have such concerns, because he was not a human, but the embodiment of a heroic spirit in the world - a Servant.
Without the Holy Grail system, Justisa, who was just a ghost attached to humans, could not confirm the Servant's job like she could with the system support. Fortunately, the two people were not very alert. From the woman's lip movements when she turned to the boy, Justisa learned the Servant's job - Saber (sword soldier), the job with the highest overall evaluation among the seven jobs, and the job that most Masters participating in the Holy Grail War most wanted to get.
As soon as she confirmed the servant's job, Justisa retreated into the terminal hall. After making sure that Saber would not detect her magic fluctuations, she activated communication magic.
"Shinji, the Einzbern family has arrived, and she is accompanied by Saber."
"How do you feel about meeting each other as sisters?" Shinji asked with a smile. The artificial humans created based on Justisia are sisters from the perspective of human society.
"I don't have any feelings. I just came to confirm whether she can exert the function of the 'Little Holy Grail'." Justisa's tone was calm.
Shinji was helpless and could only say: "Then you should check it slowly and be careful."
The "sister" walking on the tarmac has an innocent smile, while the "sister" hiding in the waiting hall has an indifferent expression, just like the two poles of yin and yang.
