Chapter 18: Emiya Kiritsugu is a Real Bastard
"Good guy, I call you good guy. If I'm seeing correctly, what Kiritsugu is holding must be a sniper rifle, right?"
"A war between Mages and ancient heroes, he's actually using modern thermal weapons directly, but that's pretty good."
"Very powerful. I'll give him 82 points for this operation, and I'll give the remaining 18 points in the form of 666."
"In terms of surprise, I want to call you the strongest, Emiya Kiritsugu."
"Emiya Kiritsugu: Mage and ancient people, now let me tell you what it means to be an adult. Times have changed!"
There is no doubt that this wave of operations is a real show. Although it's just a display, Kiritsugu and Maiya's costumes prove one thing, that the so-called Mages and Servants can probably be killed by weapons.
Of course, judging from the power shown by the Servants, it's still difficult to kill Servants with hot weapons. At least things like sniper rifles may be useless and require heavy weapons like cannons and missiles.
But this is not the case with Mages, they look mysterious and powerful, but they are still made of flesh and blood.
The subsequent plot on the light screen indeed develops like this.

Kiritsugu, who is only heard in the shadows, takes a glimpse of the battle between the two Servants, then says to Maiya: "It's started. It seems the winner won't be decided for a while. Maiya, find Lancer's Master from a suitable high place for shooting, then find an opportunity to kill him."
Maiya nodded, looked around, and quickly fixed her gaze on the elevated crane in the port that is specifically used to move containers.
This is a good sniper spot.
Seeing this scene, the players who have ever played the PUBG game in the real world all call themselves experts.
At the same time, the narrative voice is also sounded, and the jojo-style explanation begins.
[This is the tactic chosen by Emiya Kiritsugu. He is Saber's Master, but he chooses to let his wife pretend to be the Master on the surface and act outside, so that everyone's attention will be focused on his wife and Saber, to hide himself, through the method of light and dark, to ensure that his own side is invincible]
The brief narration directly reveals Kiritsugu's attributes, which immediately makes many people call him an expert. Of course, there are also many silly people who think Kiritsugu is despicable.
At Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures, Murata rubbed his chin, turned to Kiritsugu, who was not far away, and said, "You are worthy of being our ace operator. This method is dirty, very good. Keep up the good work."
The others also showed expressions of admiration, saying, "As expected of you, you are very despicable."
"..." Kiritsugu could only give a shy but polite smile.
Everyone is now gathered on the specially provided balcony. Here, besides some important personnel at Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures, there are also all the people who appeared on the light screen.
Only Artoria is missing.
However, at this moment, someone else came with some people.
Upon closer inspection, it's Artoria.
Murata immediately realized that Artoria has undergone a real change today compared to yesterday.
Yesterday the girl was confused and hesitant, she looked bewildered and confused because she was too stimulated and shocked.
But Artoria now has a calm expression and an extraordinary demeanor, and her eyebrows show calmness, as if she has grown up overnight and become mature and mature.
If I have to say, there is determination in her eyebrows, similar to the charm she had when she was possessed by King Arthur last night.
After the girl greeted everyone politely but without losing her elegance, she sat down in the chair arranged for her by the staff.
Then, her eyes fell on the light screen, with a serious expression and focused eyes.
Seeing this in her eyes, Murata calmly withdrew his gaze. Although he has many doubts, this is not the right time to ask more questions. It's a matter of continuing to watch.

The battle between Saber and Lancer continues, but both sides are still testing each other, and neither of them has entered a full fight.
Although they are not fighting with all their strength, the strength of both sides is far beyond ordinary people, which causes the area within a radius of 50 meters to become tattered due to the attacks of the spears and invisible blades.
The intensity of this battle gives people the feeling that even if they stand and watch firmly, humans will suffer.
After trying to attack each other, the two retreated with a tacit understanding.
Lancer stood still, the short spear in his left hand fell naturally, and the long spear in his right hand was placed on his shoulder. He praised with a smile: "As expected of Saber, your skills are very powerful. I think you must have become a very powerful knight in your lifetime."
Saber: "Knight? That's right. You, a fighter type, often use your spear to make cutting movements. If I'm not mistaken, you're actually better at using a sword, right?"
Lancer smiled and didn't deny: "This is really sharp intuition. Yes, compared to the spear, my swordsmanship is stronger. Unfortunately, this time I came with the Lancer Class, so I didn't bring my sword."
Saber: "What a pity, but this is the Holy Grail War, and there is no victory without strength."
Lancer nodded: "That's natural, but even if it's an incomplete posture, I will dedicate the victory of this Holy Grail War to my Master!"

Real world.
Murata stroked his chin and thought: "Look at this, when Heroic Spirits and Servants arrive, they will be restricted by their class factors and will not be able to arrive in a fully winning position?"
A girl with twin ponytails couldn't help but complain: "Why does this feel more and more like a game? The so-called Holy Grail War..."
The speaker's name is Tohsaka Rin, and she is the daughter of Tohsaka Tokiomi. As a member of the Tokiomi family, she can sit here and watch together.
Especially because Murata thinks that among the people who appeared in the light screen, their relatives and family members may also appear, so he called them together.
Sitting not far from the Emiya family, Illya, who is only 10 years old and inherits the same beauty as her mother and has reddish silver hair, nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, I feel the same. If you add a bar and health level, it will be a standard RPG game! Right? Onii-chan."
Illya's foster brother, Emiya Shirou, showed the same shy and polite smile as his father, because their conversation attracted the attention of many people around them.
So, he scratched his face and said, "It does feel like that...but after all, the game is still a game, and the content in the video is real. I feel like it's more like a battle rule."…
The conversation of the three children was heard by everyone, but no one said anything about them three, because many people thought their words made sense. It's true, the meaning of this Holy Grail War makes people feel like they are fighting a detailed rule.
It's just that as a game played by extraordinary people, it far surpasses the games played by ordinary people.
However, Japanese society is very accepting of it, because the entertainment industry here is developed, especially the ACG industry, which ranks first in the world, supported by the Chinese market, crushing the world in this aspect.
This has caused many works in the animation industry such as death games, battle royale, and survival games.
Therefore, anyone living in Japan is quite accepting of this kind of 'high-end' gameplay.
This so-called Holy Grail War is completely different from the war that people understand. It's more like a game with strict rules.
Seven Masters, seven Servants, and seven pairs of combinations will fight. Whoever survives to the end will obtain the Holy Grail and become the winner in life.

Just as the two Servants were exchanging blows, a voice with a drake-like voice sounded.
The voice appeared suddenly and came from all directions, as if it was broadcast simultaneously from loudspeakers placed in various places.
"This is too slow, Lancer, don't waste any more time, I allow you to use Noble Phantasm, kill your enemy quickly!"
