"—Chase!" Shinji said only one word.
"learn!"
After hearing Shinji's answer, Scathach immediately followed the traces left by Caster. Judging from their decisiveness, this master and servant are really in sync.
"What about Saber? Aren't we going to find the Einzbern's base?"
Shinji had also made corresponding preparations for this problem: "As long as the general location is determined, the next thing will be easy. The reason why the Einzbern Castle has not been discovered by the outside world is that a large-scale barrier has been opened around the castle. This barrier may be able to deceive all the magicians in the world, but it cannot deceive Justissa, who is also from the Einzbern family. Let's talk about it tomorrow. The most urgent task is to find Caster's base - I just saw the news that the hunting killer committed a crime in the town next door. There is no doubt that these two crazy people did it! If we find their base earlier, we may be able to save one more person. And this time, there is no need to worry about hurting innocent people."
"I understand. I will find their base."
Feeling the coldness in Shinji's voice, Scathach raised her heroic eyebrows slightly.
"How's it going over there?"
"All is well, I have reached my destination."
Shinji, hiding in the crowd, raised his head calmly and squinted his eyes to look at the most famous hotel in Fuyuki City - Hyatt Hotel.
This is currently the highest building in Fuyuki City and the best place to overlook the city.
Not only is it the highest in altitude, the hardware facilities and software services of the Hyatt Hotel are also the best in Fuyuki City, and it can be called the first signboard in the hotel industry. Naturally, it was chosen by the noble "Clock Tower Lord" Kenneth as his residence and temporary base. As early as a month before his arrival, the vassals of the Archibald family had reserved the presidential suite on the top 32nd floor, which shows how wealthy they are.
"So-called nobles are basically like this."
Shinji, who was complaining, didn't know that Kenneth was not satisfied with the presidential suite of the best hotel. The most unbearable thing for a true noble is to put on a luxurious coat and pretend to be noble. This Hyatt Hotel is like this. It has no historical background and no cultural heritage. At best, it is just a "pigsty" decorated with luxurious surface.
In Kenneth's opinion, even the local folk customs that seem a bit petty are much better than these featureless luxury.
Not far from the Hyatt Hotel, which Kenneth disdained, there was a construction site. In the near future, this site would replace the Hyatt Hotel and become the new highest elevation in Fuyuki City. Fuyuki Center Building was the name of this high-rise building that was about to be completed. Only here could the actions of the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Hotel be best monitored.
Shinji did not choose to take the stairs, but flew directly to the top floor from the corridor reserved for the elevator.
Flying is a very high-level secret technique in magic. With Shinji's current level, he can't even float, let alone fly. The reason he can fly freely is still because of the treasure from Perseus.
In Greek mythology, Hephaestus, the god of fire, lent Perseus a pair of feather shoes, which allowed him to fly freely in the air. Perseus relied on them to enter and exit the island where Medusa lived.
Now the shoes are on Shinji's feet. Rather than shoes, they are a pair of ornaments tied to the ankles, with a wing made of white feathers on each of the inner and outer ankles.
Driven by magic, two pairs of wings flapped continuously, carrying Shinji's body up rapidly, and directly reached the 40th floor which had not yet been capped.
With the help of the moonlight above and the lights below, Shinji found a position diagonally facing the terrace of the presidential suite and used a telescope prepared in advance to monitor every move on the opposite side.
It was unknown whether he was relaxed after the battle, deliberately luring the enemy, or was absolutely confident in the defense system he had set up, but Kayneth didn't even draw the curtains, just leaning on a single sofa with a glass of red wine in his hand. The Heroic Spirit whose real name was Diarmuid knelt on one knee at his feet, and behind the sofa, a young woman with short red hair was half leaning on the sofa with her arms folded across her chest.
Two men and one woman seemed to be arguing about something.
Shinji carefully recalled the plot of "Fatezero". If he remembered correctly, Kenneth should have been scolding Lancer, and the woman, Kenneth's fiancée Sora Nazaire Sofiali, spoke for Lancer and mocked Kenneth.
Kenneth believed that Saber, who had the highest overall strength among the seven classes, should be listed as the top priority target and should be eliminated as soon as possible no matter what method was used.
Lancer, who upholds the way of chivalry, does not see it that way. Since he has made a chivalrous covenant with Saber, he should end it in a chivalrous way.
There was a conflict in their values, and because Kenneth was the lord to whom Lancer swore allegiance, he could only silently endure Kenneth's scolding and could not argue.
Sora couldn't stand it anymore and came out to speak for Lancer, but because his words hurt Kayneth's dignity, he was stopped by Lancer who was loyal to his master.
Although Sora stopped her sarcasm, her unusual attitude caused Kenneth's dissatisfaction and suspicion. His fiancée, who was always sarcastic to him, was very gentle to Lancer and even blushed when looking at him.
If Sora was an ordinary person, it could be explained as being enchanted by Lancer's teardrop mole. But Sora, like Kayneth, was born into an ancient magician family. Even if she didn't inherit the magic mark, she was able to resist the enchantment of the teardrop mole, unless - she deliberately didn't resist!
Thinking of the tragic love story of Diarmuid eloping with his boss's wife, Kenneth felt as if a thorn was stabbed in his heart.
Just as Kenneth was daydreaming, the shrill fire alarm sounded without warning, interrupting his thoughts and attracting Shinji's attention.
The fire alarm meant that a fire had occurred. The entire building was in a state of tension. The staff evacuated the hotel residents as quickly as possible. People left the rooms in an orderly manner and gathered in the square in front of the hotel for shelter.
What’s interesting is that as more and more people left the hotel, no sparks or black smoke could be seen outside the hotel.
Shinji thought about it and called the hotel's emergency number on his mobile phone. The hotel staff said that the fire was small, but the fire locations were scattered, and it seemed to be arson.
"Just as I thought, the third big show of the night."
Shinji first glanced at Kenneth, then looked down, and finally flicked his fingers, and the latest model of Motorola phone spun in his palm.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, but it does not know that the slingshot is below... Hehe, who is the final winner?"
