FATE: As Illya, I was summoned by Kotomine Kirei?!

Chapter 2: Illya: I'm fighting the fourth Holy Grail War? Eh? Is that true?

After being stunned for a few seconds, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but feel ridiculous for his previous thoughts.

Although Assassin is a weak job, he undoubtedly summoned Hassan. Although he has no idea which generation of Hassan this is, it is well known that Assassins are basically good at disguising themselves to let the enemy down and ultimately achieve a one-shot kill effect.

'The white-haired little girl in front of me must be in disguise. She is really scary. That looks almost fooled even me, the Master...'

'Should I say that she is worthy of being a heroic Spirit who can enter the Throne of Heroes?'

Kotomine Kirei took a deep breath.

"I am Kotomine Kirei, one of the participants in this Holy Grail War chosen by the Greater Holy Grail. I am also your Master. I believe you should also be familiar with it Assassin."

He said in a deep voice.

In an instant, the oppressive atmosphere was broken.

The little Servant also blinked her eyes. At this moment, she finally learned the languages of various countries in her mind.

She also successfully understood Kotomine Kirei's words and learned the basic information of the Holy Grail War.

It is common sense that summoning heroes will give them corresponding modern knowledge.

"That uncle... you mean to say that you are my Master?"

"These are my Command Seals." Kotomine Kirei displayed the three blood-red Command Seals on the back of his hand and looked at his somewhat different Servant inquiringly.

Theoretically, the Holy Grail ceremony in Fuyuki City would only summon the Hassans of all generations. After all, he did not prepare any holy relics like his teacher. Simply summoning in the name of Assassin would only summon the Hassans who were famous Assassins.

Kotomine Kirei did not think that the cute Assassin girl in front of him was not dangerous. After all, Heroic Spirits were people who had made great achievements in history. Among them, Assassins were the best at forbearance, and some famous Assassins could even forbearance and lie dormant for several years.

Now, this white-haired girl who is acting like a cute little loli could only be in disguise. In her true nature, she might be an extremely terrifying and dangerous being.

Looking at Kotomine Kirei in front of her, the little girl nodded hesitantly: "Then, here, the contract is established... In simple terms, I will help you fight for seven days, and you will take care of my meals for seven days, right?"

"You can understand it that way."

'Furthermore, the summoned Heroic Spirits should not be considered as employed child labor.'

Kotomine Kirei added in his mind.

"As your Master, for the sake of future cooperation, please tell me your real name, Assassin. This will make it easier for me to look up information and deepen our understanding."

He was the first to reveal the Command Seals, which was actually a deterrent. He asked the Heroic Spirits to give their real names in order to gain control. After all, although the Holy Grail War was a battle fought between Masters and Heroic Spirits, many heroes had their own pride. If they summoned a Heroic Spirit who had betrayed before his/her birth, the Master's own life safety could not be guaranteed, and he/she might be stabbed in the back by his/her own Heroic Spirit.

The probability of this happening is very small, but it must be prevented. His teacher has always taught him that he needs to be cautious in everything, especially in matters concerning life.

Therefore, he had to make the white-haired girl in front of him understand that he was her master and that he could kill her at any time. These three Command Seals were the nuclear deterrents that the Master could use to restrain the Heroic Spirits.

"My real name....? Well, Illyasviel, that should be it..."

The white-haired little girl, or rather Miss Illyasviel, scratched her face hesitantly.

But her heart felt a little cold because she remembered not only her real name but also the fact that she had inexplicably traveled to this strange world. She used hesitation and ignorance to cover up her inner panic and discomfort. She was really scared when she knew that she had traveled to this world and had to fight to the death with famous heroes in history!

What was she fighting for? She was just an ordinary human being before. Even if she became a Heroic Spirit, she could not be compared with those world-famous heroes. She was afraid. This fear came from the fact that she could die at any time. Any living thing has the most basic survival instinct, and she is the same. She was afraid that she would die here, travel through the other world inexplicably, and die inexplicably. She was afraid that she would become the ghost of those heroes!

Why? Why her? She doesn't want to die, she really doesn't want to die…

Her thoughts were in turmoil. Perhaps the Assassin class was really good at hiding emotions.

Kotomine Kirei didn't even notice the tears welling up in her beautiful ruby ​​eyes.

She was not a hero, let alone a heroic spirit. What was the difference between participating in the Holy Grail War and giving away heads and achievements to others? She wanted to escape, escape far away. She wanted to happily eat a crazy Thursday at home. She wanted to lie in bed and sleep in comfortably, but she could not escape. Seven days was the countdown to her death.

"Illyasviel? European?"

Kotomine Kirei searched his memory but could not remember any famous assassin in Europe named Illyasviel, or any Hassan codenamed Illyasviel.

"Assassin, can you be more straightforward? For example, which generation are you from..."

"Master, today is the first night of the Holy Grail War, right?" Miss Illya, who was terrified by the countdown to her death, was silent for a moment and suddenly asked this question.

Because after she thought about it, her instinct for survival made her not give up hope. Instead, it was as if some kind of rebound mechanism was triggered, and she suddenly came up with a plan in order to survive.

Stay alive.

Survive to the end.

The best way is to kill everyone who wants to kill her.

"Tonight is indeed the first night of the Holy Grail War. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"There is another question. That is, the Heroic Spirit is indeed an existence that a magi cannot contend with, right? The only one who can contend with the Heroic Spirit is another Heroic Spirit, right?"

There was a hint of anticipation in Miss Illya's tone when she asked this question.

Kotomine Kirei was somewhat confused: "According to the records of the previous Holy Grail Wars, yes, the gap between magi and Heroic Spirits is almost impossible to make up."

The modern mysteries are gradually fading, as can be seen from the fact that no modern heroes have appeared for a long time.

Heroic Spirits and magi are completely two different species. Even magi may not be able to contend with a third-rate Heroic Spirit. This is an absolute power gap in pure qualitative change. Of course, this is just his personal guess. After all, he has never heard of a battle between Heroic Spirits and magi. After all, the Holy Grail War is just a local ritual in the Far East. Even the Clock Tower doesn't pay much attention to this place, not to mention the elusive magi.

"Thank you, Master, I know what to do now \(＾＾)/!"

Miss Illya was delighted.

If she can't defeat the Heroic Spirit, can she still defeat the magi? Since it's the first night of the Holy Grail War, there must be some magi who haven't had time to summon their Heroic Spirits yet, right?

Then she instinctively activated the spiritual body and presence blocking.

"?"

The next moment, when Kotomine Kirei reacted, Miss Illya had disappeared from the church, except for the magic circle in the center of the church.

There was no longer any trace to prove that the assassin girl had ever appeared, leaving Kotomine Kirei alone in the empty church, bewildered, realizing that the other party had sneaked away.

He seemed unable to keep up with the thinking of his own Heroic Spirit, or rather, the thinking of heroes was always so clear and strange that it was difficult for a modern man like him to understand. However, it was normal to consider the differences between ancient and modern concepts. It was rumored that some Heroic Spirits would even follow the chivalry established by ancient feudal monarchs to restrain the army.

Certainly...

These are not the main points...

"What on earth did she understand? What is she thanking me for? Is my Heroic Spirit so rebellious?"

"No, I haven't looked at her ability values ​​, and Noble Phantasm yet. How can I report to the teacher?"
