Emiya family's household budget... Well, there is no such plan. Although the Emiya family is not as rich as the Matou family, their assets are also in the nine-digit level, and they are in US dollars. Over the years, Kiritsugu and Maiya have made a lot of investments. Thanks to his strong intelligence gathering ability, the rate of return is quite considerable. Even if he does nothing from today, it is enough to support Illya until she dies of old age. Don't forget that Illya's growth rate is only one-third of that of an ordinary person. If there is no accident, she can live for at least two hundred years, not counting the powerful life-extending ability of the third magic.
Ahem, I've gone off topic. Anyway, the Emiya family doesn't need to worry about the household finances, and there won't be anything as popular as the household finances of XX family. Let's do it all over again!
The family affairs of the Emiya family have come to an end. After all, they have such a deep bond, and their feelings for each other are no less than those of Irisviel and Illya. Now that Kiritsugu has put aside his ideals, and Xia Lei and Natalia have also put aside their past grudges, the next development is predictable.
Maybe at the beginning they won't be as close as before, and there may still be barriers between people and the Dead Apostles, but everyone has a sincere and beautiful heart, and one day they will be happy.
Shinji firmly believed in this. But before that, there was another problem to be solved, a problem that was not limited to the Emiya family, and Shinji had to pay attention to.
What on earth are Natalia and Xia Lei here for
Knowing that they were related to Kiritsugu, Shinji had temporarily tolerated it, but now that the real culprit is back, Shinji can no longer let it go.
It is now the most special period of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. With the appearance of Dead Apostles at this time, Shinji cannot help but be cautious, especially since this Holy Grail War has seemed very strange from the very beginning.
It is not difficult to know from Xia Lei and Natalia's narratives that they are affiliated with an organization.
According to Shinji's understanding of the vampire circle, the organization that protects newborn vampires and teaches them is not a charity. The so-called protection and training requires future service in return, which is also a way for the Dead Apostles to grow stronger.
Could it be that the Dead Apostles force they belong to wants to stir up trouble in Fuyuki and is even eyeing this Holy Grail War
Natalia and Xia Lei had surprisingly similar reactions to this question.
"... "
"... "
Yes, they were silent and wouldn't say a word no matter how we asked them.
"Brother Kiritsugu, it's really difficult for me to deal with them like this." Shinji asked someone else directly. This was exactly why he waited for Kiritsugu to come back.
"Natalia, Xia Lei..." Kiritsugu immediately understood. To be honest, he was a little concerned. Fuyuki was also his home, and he didn't want anything to happen here.
"Kelly, I..."
Xia Lei moved her lips, but Natalia raised her hand to stop her.
"Kid, we can't answer this question. We are just low-level members of the organization and don't know much."
"Just tell me what you know." Shinji said impatiently. Sometimes, just knowing a little clue can help you figure out a lot of things, especially when you are in front of a time traveler.
"That's not possible either." Natalia shook her head. "After all, the organization has done us a favor, and we can't betray the organization. All I can say is that no matter what happens, we won't harm the kid's home."
"What do you mean?" Shinji's expression turned cold. His meaning was obvious. You two are just low-level Dead Apostles. How can you make decisions on behalf of the people behind you
Today's Shinji is already a strong man who has forced out Scathach's twin spears and can fight against top-level servants. Even if he doesn't really fight, his momentum alone is enough to scare people, not to mention the halo of "True Ancestor Guardian" and "Blue Knight who conquered two ancestors".
Natalia's eyes changed slightly, and her hands involuntarily supported the ground, using this method to support herself as she continued speaking.
"My words don't count, but I'm not just saying it without any basis."
"On what basis?"
"We are not the only ones entering Japan. Vampires have entered almost all cities in this area. We just happened to be assigned to Fuyuki City. Under such circumstances, the possibility of Fuyuki City becoming a target is very low."
"I see." Shinji's expression eased a little.
From the beginning, his mental power had been covering Natalia, and he was sure that she was not lying.
According to this statement, the vampire's goal has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War? No, the possibility of a smokescreen cannot be ruled out. These low-level Dead Apostles are of little use. The real threat is the high-level Dead Apostles, or even the ancestors.
"Okay, I can take a step back for now. In return, you have to tell me the identity of the 'adult' you mentioned."
Shinji was already very concerned about the identity of this mysterious man, and after hearing about Natalia's survival, he became even more curious. Being able to calmly deal with the plane crash, escape from the missile explosion and the fall from a thousand meters, and even help Natalia, this kind of person is definitely not a simple person. In all likelihood, he is a certain ancestor who knows his identity and can also conduct investigations and analysis through other channels.
However, Natalia's answer was still:
"Sorry, I can't tell you that."
"Bang!" Shinji slammed his palm on the coffee table. "You can't say this, you can't say that, what else can you say? For the sake of brother Kiritsugu, I have retreated again and again, don't push your luck! Or do you think I have no temper and am easy to bully?"
"How can the 'Pale Knights' who defeated 'Night of Wallachia' and 'Fulherin Anash' be easily bullied?"
Natalia smiled bitterly, and Xia Lei trembled even more.
"But without that lord, we would have disappeared long ago. We cannot betray him because we have not yet repaid his kindness."
"Then I can only say sorry." Shinji sighed helplessly.
"Shinji..." Kiritsugu interceded.
"They have their own persistence, you have yours, I have mine, I respect you, and please understand me. Don't worry, they are your family, I won't really do anything to them, I just seal them temporarily for a period of time. Lure out other vampires who can be attacked, or the 'master' behind them; - I want to see what kind of character dares to cause trouble in my territory! Sister R, please, you are an expert in this area, is there any problem?"
Medusa is indeed an expert in this area. She has two treasures that can be classified as powerful sealing techniques, namely "Self-Seal Dark Temple" and "Other Seal Blood Temple". The former is used to suppress her petrified eyes that are so powerful that she can hardly control them, and the latter is the greatest manifestation of her vampire ability, which can absorb blood in a large area through the form of a barrier. Shinji is very relieved to let her do the sealing.
"No, I just want to study how different so-called vampires are from me."
Medusa licked her lips as she spoke, like a beautiful snake eyeing its prey.
PS: I have two pieces of bad news for you. First, Jian Shao has caught a cold and is in very bad condition. Second, Jian Shao has been promoted from receiving training to training others. It will be this weekend or early next week. The time has not been determined yet. I will have to take leave by then. Let me know in advance.
