Loreley's series of strange actions naturally aroused Shinji's suspicion.
Since returning to Japan, he has not been able to contact Loreleija directly. His cell phone is not working, and the feedback he gets from other means of contact is that Her Majesty the Queen is not here at the moment and he will report back when she returns.
At first, Shinji didn't take it seriously. Lorelaia already had a lot of work to do, and a series of troubles had happened recently, so it was normal that she didn't have time to pay attention to him. He just needed to wait until she was done with this period. It just so happened that he also needed to concentrate on dealing with the Holy Grail War.
However, when Kenneth received news that the Law and Politics Department had decided on the last candidate for the battle, Bazette, the best "executor" of the Sealing Designated Classroom, the Arcanum Arbitration Bureau, the Observatory, and Karion, would be the Master, Shinji began to realize that something was wrong.
Bazette Fraga Macremis is an Irishman who was born into a mysterious family of "herited germ keepers". At the age of fifteen, she was unwilling to live in obscurity for the rest of her life, so she joined the Magic Association against family tradition. One year later, she was ordered to be the executor of the magicians designated for the seal. She is an action-oriented fighter, an expert in magician warfare, and has the title of "human weapon". Even Loreleija could be killed by her if she is not well prepared.
In the original world line, he was one of the seven masters, so normally there shouldn't be anything strange about it, but this time the situation is abnormal. The reason why Bazette participated in the Holy Grail War was because of the invitation of Kotomine Kirei. The two had several contacts because of their work (agent and executor), and because of some coincidences, they became good personal friends.
But now, Kotomine Kirei's trajectory has been greatly changed. He has long been a heretic wanted by the church, and naturally his work as an agent cannot be carried out. Can he still make friends with Bazette like in the original world line? Will Bazette still trust him so much
If so, it means that Kotomine Kirei has also set his sights on the Holy Grail War, and even becoming a heretic can gain the trust of Bazette. Such a Kotomine Kirei would probably be more terrifying than in the original world line.
If not, why did she come? Was it an order to seal the designated classroom, or someone else's order? Did Lorelaia know about it
No matter which one it is, and what the reason behind it is, Bazette must pay close attention to it.
After calculating the time when Bazett would leave England, Shinji began to mobilize the social connections of the Matou family. As the biggest local boss in Fuyuki City, the power of the Matou family was terrifying. Not only were there cameras distributed all over Fuyuki City and employees stationed in various places by the Matou Group, but even local community members had received instructions to find a foreign woman with dark red hair who liked to wear men's clothes.
As soon as Bazette walked out of Shinto Station, Shinji received the news.
"Ms. C, please."
Shinji put down the phone and said to Medea beside him. "Ms. C is the name Medea strongly requested, on the grounds that there should be no distinction. You call Medusa R-sister, and call me just an ordinary Caster."
Shinji said OK, then call her C--er--but when he really said it, Shinji realized that unlike the abbreviation R-sister, which is fine to call her casually, the abbreviation of Medea is C-mother, which might be bad to call her in person. With her current spiritual foundation and image, she couldn't use C-zi, a nickname specifically for young Medea, so after thinking about it, she could only use the inappropriate "C-sister". Shinji felt really awkward at the time, but fortunately he got used to it quickly.
"No problem, Shinji." Shinji called her sister, and Medea took the opportunity to add the title of little brother.
Shinji suddenly felt even more uncomfortable. One of the biggest black spots in the legend of Medea was that she killed her brother. Now she called him brother. He felt a chill in his heart just thinking about it. He never knew she might stab him in the back at any time.
What's even worse is that this reason can only be thought of in the mind, and must never be spoken out. I just put the blame on the god of love, saying that I would not look at people with tinted glasses, and now I am entangled in this again. What would Medea think
Although Shinji knew that a title didn't mean much, and Medea did regret what she had done, it was still difficult for him not to care - humans were such awkward creatures, and he shouldn't have spoken so hastily and created such an embarrassing situation.
While Shinji was complaining about himself in his heart, Medea had already started the spell. She pointed her hands at a crystal ball, and with a burst of purple magic light, a building familiar to everyone appeared in the crystal ball. It was the place Shinji had just heard about, the Shinto Station.
High-level observation magic—Clairvoyance! Medea's magic, as long as the magic power is enough, she can monitor any corner of the city without leaving home.
This is one of the reasons why Shinji invited her to join. With her, his surveillance system will no longer have blind spots, Fujino and Kirie will no longer have to be on duty at the police station, and Medea can directly monitor the big screen with the clairvoyance magic.
As the crystal ball flickered, the picture gradually zoomed in, and after a few seconds, the target person appeared in the center of the crystal ball.
"Suit, dark red hair, even breathing and steady posture. Yes, it must be her."
"He is walking on the street without any disguise. He is either a fool or he is too confident in his own ability." Medea fixed the spell on the crystal ball and then let go of her hands.
"It should be both. I have heard people say more than once that she is simple-minded, but very powerful. Is she one of the few magicians in modern times who can fight against Servants head-on?"
"Fight the Servant head-on?"
Hearing Shinji say this, Medea pulled up her hood, and there was a hint of danger in her voice.
"You can be curious, but you should give up on further exploration."
"Why?"
Medea looked at Shinji with a little dissatisfaction. She was just thinking about how to act and how to show her strength.
"First, she is not a Master yet and has not summoned any Servants, so it is inappropriate to start a fight now. Secondly, she is a true combat expert with no weaknesses in either physical or magecraft. She is from a family that has inherited the mysteries of the Age of Gods and has a secret treasure that is said to be left by God. She is a trump card that specifically counters Noble Phantasms and Great Magecraft. For you, she is the most difficult type."
Such an explanation not only failed to convince Medea, but aroused her pride. She was a magician taught by Hecate, the goddess of the night, and there was a world of difference between her and modern magicians.
"Brother Shinji, you underestimate me. I don't think you would believe me if I just told you. Let's talk facts."
"It's not an underestimation, it's the truth."
Shinji responded to her glare with a calm look.
"Well, pick any one of me, Sakura, Fujino, or Kirie, and have a friendly match. Then you'll know."
