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

Chapter 7: Kotomine Kirei: I have a bad feeling

Kotomine Kirei felt a little uneasy.

In front of the bookshelf in the basement, he flipped through many books, but still could not find any record of "Illyasviel", the name mentioned by his own heroic spirit.

It is difficult for the assassin class to receive a popularity bonus because most of the powerful assassins are basically known to very few people. But it shouldn't be to the extent that there is no clue at all, especially since Assassin seems to be a minor. It is reasonable for someone of such age to engage in assassination to have some legends or unofficial histories.

But... still not finding it. No matter how hard he looked, there was no such person as Illyasviel in any of the books.

There are only two possibilities in this situation. The first is that Illyasviel is a fantasy character, a character in a fable similar to Andersen's fairy tales, or a heroic servant from a parallel world or even the future world, so he cannot find her.

The second possibility is that Illyasviel is a very outstanding assassin. No one in history has ever seen her true face, and no one knows her real name. She has never failed in her assassination operations and is the kind of assassin who stands at the top of the world.

"Is it true, as the teacher said, that it is a fake name? But why do I feel that what Assassin said is true?"

Kotomine Kirei closed the book and frowned slightly. This assassin girl of his was really too mysterious. Although he had no desire to hold the Holy Grail, he also wanted to uncover the mystery of the other party.

Take a look at what kind of darkness is hidden under that innocent and lovely face.

It was an inexplicable intuition, and for some reason, he felt an attraction to the assassin girl.

Just by meeting her once, something seemed to be aroused deep in his heart.

He could sense the attraction, so he became curious.

First of all, I want to make it clear that he is not a loli-con, really not, and he has no interest in women or treasures. He is already married and has a biological daughter. In theory, most normal men would not be interested in Miss Illyasviel's skinny figure. The so-called cuteness is not worth mentioning in front of sexiness...

He didn't know that Miss Illyasviel had a passive skill that would subtly awaken people's malice, and he just thought it was a disqualification for him as a clergyman.

"As a servant of God, I cannot have such thoughts. It is a sin, a sin..." Some uneasy thoughts flashed through his mind, and Kotomine Kirei quickly prayed briefly to calm his heart.

"According to the time, the teacher should have successfully summoned one of the three Knight-class Heroic Servants. But why didn't he contact me for the next step in such a long time?"

'Nearly an hour had passed since I communicated with the teacher. Normally, the summoning of Heroic Servants should have been completed long ago. According to the teacher's habit, after summoning a Heroic Servant, he would contact himself based on the attributes of the Heroic Servants and the Noble Phantasm to see if some details of the plan needed to be modified.'

Tohsaka Tokiomi is an almost perfect man, maintaining aristocratic elegance at all times. Therefore, in order to win magnificently, he must contact Kotomine Kirei at certain times when there may be variables to inform him of the information and plan.

Plans can never keep up with changes, and Tohsaka Tokiomi is well aware of this truth. Therefore, Kotomine Kirei has not rested or fallen asleep until now, and is quietly waiting for new information from Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"Could it be that King Gilgamesh has a bad temper? Is the teacher not compatible with him?"

"Or did something unexpected happen to the teacher's holy relic, and he failed to summon the most ancient king of the Mesopotamian region?"

"Teacher is always very punctual and has everything planned out carefully. Did something unexpected happen to him?"

He also tried to contact the teacher using the phonograph, but there was no reply from the other end. It might be that the teacher had something on his hands. As for whether the teacher was attacked by the magi, he also considered this possibility, but the probability was very low.

The Tohsaka family is not a small family with incomplete heritage. According to legend, the first head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Nagato, has a close relationship with the second true magic user, the magi "Jewel Master". Their gem magecraft is inherited from that magi. Except for the fact that it costs a little bit of money, its power and profound meaning completely overwhelm the other two families.

The construction of Tohsaka Tokiomi's magecraft workshop began several months before the Holy Grail War began, consuming countless resources and countless precious gems.

Not to mention ordinary magi, even weaker servants may not be able to break through his defense in a short period of time. If any problems really arise, there is plenty of time to contact him and send Assassin to his magecraft workshop for assistance.

It is impossible for any accidents to happen, unless the teacher takes the initiative to let the enemy in.

But even Kotomine Kirei himself felt that this speculation was ridiculous. He actively let the enemy into the workshop?

Even a rookie magi wouldn't be so stupid as to do something like this, right?

He knew how cautious the teacher was, so how could he possibly leave or allow a strange magi into his lair?

The magecraft reaction of both the magi and the servant will be detected by the familiar, and it is impossible to disguise and enter the dream. Besides, tonight is only the first night of the Holy Grail War. Assassin's servant has been successfully summoned by him. Without skills such as presence concealment, it is pure nonsense to want to sneak into the magecraft workshop.......

"Teacher, you are really far-sighted. As long as the Assassin servants belong to our camp, it will be futile for other servants to bypass the magecraft workshop and march straight in."

Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but sigh. Moreover, in this way, Tohsaka Tokiomi no longer had to worry about guarding against Assassin's sudden attack, and his safety was also greatly guaranteed.

No wonder the teacher asked him to choose the Assassin card. There are so many profound meanings in it.

But the teacher's current condition is so abnormal that certain hidden dangers must be considered.

Kotomine Kirei thought for a moment, looked at the Command Seal on the back of his hand, then stroked his chin and thought: "How about asking Assassin to go to the teacher's workshop and residence to take a look?"

"If something goes wrong, such as an attack from another Master's Heroic Spirit, I can have Assassin desperately protect the teacher and get him out of there. Once the teacher is out of danger, I can summon her back directly."

"Besides, I remember that the assassin's agility is always among the best among the seven major classes. As long as she is in Fuyuki City, it won't take long for her to get to the teacher's residence."

While thinking this, he closed his eyes and tried to synchronize his vision with that of the assassin girl.

It is common knowledge in the Holy Grail War that the Master can synchronize his or her vision with the Heroic Spirit he or she summons, and sometimes even dream about that Heroic Spirit's life.

It's just that because he was checking the unfamiliar real name "Illyasviel" and waiting for Tohsaka Tokiomi's next instructions, Kotomine Kirei did not check Illyasviel's whereabouts at the first time, or he only checked for more than ten seconds at the beginning, but the speed of the Heroic Spirit Servants passing through the city buildings was too fast, and Kotomine Kirei could not see clearly.

He thought Miss Illyasviel was just going there to familiarize herself with the terrain, so he didn't pay any more attention to her.

The dark vision gradually cleared, and the perspective of the Servant gradually became clear in Kotomine Kirei's eyes.

"Um?"

What came into view were white threads scattered throughout the manor villa, imperceptible to the naked eye and only visible to a Servant. The wooden furniture and stairs were dilapidated as if they had been easily cut by a sharp blade, and more than a dozen gems fell to the ground dully.

The smell of blood, the rampant magecraft, and the terrifying murderous aura filled this messy land that was already like a spider web.

This is the spider's nest, a silvery-white execution ground where it captures its prey and devours it delicately.

"Healing magecraft? Well, Uncle Tokiomi, why did you suddenly run away~"

"Do you hate me? Hey, you promised me that you would protect me~"

The gem sprayed out flames that collided with the silk threads, tearing a gap in the dense spider web!

The elegant middle-aged man, whose neck artery was cut and blood was gushing out, rushed out of the villa in a panic, fell on the soil in the garden, desperately activated healing magecraft, and breathed the air greedily as if he had survived a disaster!

It was almost, just almost, his head would be cut off by those silk threads!

The Heroic Spirit Girl seemed to lack the means of fierce attack. Even if the distance was enough and the opponent had taken precautions, it was impossible to kill him with one strike. But it was meaningless. His magecraft workshop had been secretly dismantled by the Heroic Spirit Girl...

Moreover, if his current injuries were not treated in time, he would soon die of excessive blood loss. He had to use healing magecraft all the time to suppress the bleeding, and he no longer had the means to resist the little girl in front of him with an innocent and lovely smile...

"That's, teacher? The teacher is injured?"

Kotomine Kirei's eyes suddenly widened, and at the same time, a terrible guess suddenly arose in his mind.

"Wait! I am now in Assassin's perspective, which means the current situation is..."

"Assassin went to assassinate the teacher and succeeded?!"
