The staff members standing nearby had their eyes light up when they saw Wan Di.

"Brother is so handsome."

Sakura also praised him generously.

"In that case, this outfit will do."

Wan Di glanced at it and found it to be alright, so he nodded, then went into the changing room and put on his original casual clothes.

He hates shopping the most, and when he buys clothes, he only cares if they are wearable and look decent.

No, I should say he hates changing clothes when he buys clothes; it's too much trouble.

Wan Di finds it hard to understand how women can shop for ages, try on countless outfits, and not buy a single thing. Even though Wan Di has been a girl several times over, she still can't quite grasp this...

And on the other side...

"What's wrong, Saber? Why are you in such a hurry? Our schedule shouldn't be that tight, right?"

As she walked, Irisviel looked at Artoria, somewhat puzzled.

She wanted to stay a little longer, but when she saw Saber's eyes turn serious, she didn't think twice and followed her out.

"That girl is the Master."

"what?"

Upon hearing Artoria's words, Irisviel's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

“I saw the Command Seals on the back of her hand, I can’t be mistaken.”

Artoria gently shook her head.

“I didn’t mean to question you, Saber. I trust you completely.”

Irisviel, standing nearby, quickly shook her head and explained, "I just find it hard to believe. How could such a young child become a Master? Even if the child comes from a family of magi, the Holy Grail wouldn't choose such a child as a Master, since they haven't even inherited any magic circuits yet... Besides, such a small body can't provide the magical energy needed for a Servant to fight..."

Irisviel's face was full of confusion...

"That's right, I'm also puzzled by that. The Holy Grail wouldn't choose someone like that as its Master..."

The two frowned, racking their brains but unable to come up with a solution.

"Ah, so that guy from earlier... was a Servant?"

Irisviel said belatedly.

"should be."

Artoria nodded: "However, the other party should have some kind of inherent skill like concealing their presence. I didn't detect any Servant aura on them... Moreover, now that I think about it, they should have already discovered our identities... but they just haven't made a move yet."

"Huh? They clearly had so many opportunities to ambush and kill us, or seriously injure us, right? Why didn't they do that? Were they afraid of revealing their magician identities? But there weren't many people around. A simple hypnotic spell could have easily resolved the situation..."

Irisviel rested her chin on her hand, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Perhaps the other party is a true warrior who would disdain doing such dirty things? If the positions of both sides were reversed, I wouldn't do it either."

Irisviel, standing nearby, said the same thing.

"Forget it, don't overthink it. Let's not tell Kiritsugu about this for now..."

After a moment's thought, Irisviel hesitated and said...

“I understand Q6*?N厁罒冷泣弍〥尔C』.”

Because they had spent so much time together, Irisviel knew what kind of person her husband, Kiritsugu Emiya, was. While he probably wouldn't stoop to harming a child, she wondered what would happen if that golden-haired Heroic Spirit was very strong...

Irisviel couldn't say for sure whether Kiritsugu Emiya would actually make that choice...

He said that precisely because he knew about Kiritsugu Emiya's obsession.

Although Saber and Kiritsugu Emiya hadn't spent much time together, they had still gotten to know each other somewhat.

She naturally agreed to Irisviel's suggestion.

"That child is traveling alone with his Servant, so he might be all alone. If his Servant is defeated... let's adopt him. Being chosen by the Holy Grail means he must have the talent of a magician. The Einzbern family won't refuse such a child."

As they walked, Irisviel suddenly seemed to remember something and said something.

This does fit Sakura's fate in a certain timeline.

In one timeline, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not choose to send Sakura to the Matou family, but instead sent her to the Einzbern family, and Sakura's fate became completely different.

Of course, such a thing will not happen in this world, because an enemy of ten thousand will not be defeated.

As the Spear of Divine Retribution, he wouldn't be afraid even if a fully-formed Grand Servant appeared, let alone the Servants summoned by the Holy Grail War.

......

"Brother, was there anything wrong with those two older sisters just now?"

Walking down the street, they were now close to their residence. There weren't many people on the street, so Sakura asked for directions.

"Why do you think so?"

Wan Di looked at Sakura with some surprise.

Is this child's perception really that sharp?

"Didn't you notice, brother? You're usually very cold and aloof when you're around other people, not wanting to get involved with them. But when you were with those two older sisters, you showed a look of interest."

"Was it really that obvious?"

Wan Di touched his cheek and said in surprise.

"whee."

Sakura didn't say anything, she just nodded with a simple smile.

"If the Holy Grail War happens at night, will you be going out tonight, brother?"

Sakura looked at Wan Di and said, "Sakura won't say anything about going with brother. After all, Sakura doesn't have much fighting power. However, Sakura will wait for brother at home and won't go anywhere!"

"Well, as far as I know, among the seven Masters, there happens to be one pervert who specifically targets delicate and cute human cubs like you. Once he catches you, he'll eat you! So until I've dealt with him, you absolutely mustn't go out alone at night."

"Uh-huh!"

Upon hearing Wan Di's words, Sakura nodded nervously.

Although she felt that Wan Di was just scaring her, like those classic little stories where someone would kidnap you at night if you didn't behave...

However, Sakura has always been very obedient since she was a child, so she hasn't experienced this kind of thing much.

"Brother, you must come back safely."

Sakura couldn't help but say with some concern.

"Don't worry, Sakura, I'm the cutest... really amazing!"

Wan Di straightened his chest and raised his head, instinctively wanting to point his thumb at himself and say that he was the strongest.

However, his will to survive made him stop moving at the last moment, and his words also changed.

Although Wan Di didn't think anyone could influence him in this Holy Grail War, flags are unpredictable. Who knows, maybe something strange would happen to the world right after he finished speaking, causing him to be instantly killed.

Vegeta was always very confident before each battle, but afterwards he went from being Sper Vegeta to being a Super Vegeta.

As for the strongest, there's no need to even mention it.

Those who claim to be the strongest from beginning to end never have a good ending.

Whether it's the defeated dragon from the neighboring knight shed or the 2,5 Satoru from a while ago, it's all the same.

Who knows, maybe while you're fighting, a spatial rift will suddenly open up somewhere and cut you in half...

Although with my physical constitution, I wouldn't die even if I were cut in half... but such a thing is still very scary.

The daytime passed quickly, and over the next two days, the Masters of the Holy Grail War arrived in Fuyuki City one after another.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, following up on Mantei's actions the previous night, also relayed the information about Assassin's death.

Originally, according to Tokiomi Tohsaka's original plan, this task should have been completed by Gilgamesh, but now that there is an uninvited guest named Mande, the plan has to be changed.

However, the ending was the same: Kirei Kotomine went into hiding to help Tokiomi Tohsaka gather intelligence.

Of course, he also doesn't need to worry about being exposed by Wan Di.

In his understanding, it didn't matter if Wan Di knew he was in cahoots with Kirei Kotomine; as long as Assassin was genuinely dead, that was enough.

The daytime passed quickly.

Night fell, and a black curtain shrouded the sky.

After putting Sakura to sleep, Wan Di also sensed the presence emanating from the city center.

That was the aura emanating from other Servants.

Clearly, the other party is extending an invitation—an invitation to all participants in this Holy Grail War to have their first encounter in battle!

Wan Di had no reason not to go. His body radiated light, and the clothes he was wearing were quickly hidden away, replaced by his strong, half-naked upper body and red patterns.

Meanwhile, Irisviel and Artoria, who were strolling on the beach, also sensed the aura emanating from each other and immediately headed towards the nearby area.

By the time Wan Di arrived, Saber and Lancer had already exchanged several blows.

Furthermore, due to Saber's momentary carelessness, she failed to discover the opponent's hidden Noble Phantasm information, and during the battle, the opponent used the Noble Phantasm to slash her thumb.

As a Servant, it is important to conceal one's identity, which is why Saber uses wind magic to hide her Excalibur.

After all, this golden sword is so famous that anyone with even a basic understanding of mythology would recognize its identity.

And the same goes for Lancer on the other side.

Diarmuid, the chief warrior of the Irish Fiona Knights, renowned as unparalleled in Celtic mythology, would reveal the power of his two spears to others once his true name was known.

However, it was precisely because Saber did not know Diarmuid's real name that she was tricked into giving him a thumbs-up during their battle.

As a swordsman, and a two-handed swordsman at that, Saber's strength dropped a level after her thumb was cut and she couldn't heal it with magic.

The situation suddenly became somewhat tense.

However, it was at this critical moment that Wan Di's figure descended from the sky, interrupting the duel between the two.

"Oh dear, looks like I've come at the wrong time."

Looking at the battlefield between the two, Wan Di raised an eyebrow and revealed a carefree smile.

Since everyone present was an enemy, Wan Di simply stopped pretending.
