"Because in the eyes of this Marshal of France, his dearest Saint, Jeanne d'Arc, is willingly 'manipulated' by the gods."

"You say... if your divine nature were noticed by him, would he get so excited that he summons a legion of creatures to harm you mutually?"

"The Chains of Heaven, another Heroic Spirit who harbors resentment towards the gods..." Kyouka turned to Red Hare, "I always feel like someone is targeting me."

Red Hare dryly chuckled twice, "It does seem a bit mysteriously coincidental, but the Divine Seed also enhances your combat power, doesn't it?"

"Without it, I wouldn't have had so many troublesome matters."

Scratching her little head, Red Hare said, "With this, the Church's chances of having Divine Armaments increase significantly, don't they?"

"I warned you, didn't I?"

"Hmm?" Red Hare looked bewildered.

"Use your 'Truth' to shut them up!"

...

The next day, after Kyouka, this little butterfly, flapped her wings, all the Masters and Servants gathered within the range of Fuyuki City.

Except for that psychologically abnormal Marshal, who, along with his equally eccentric Master, continued their research on the "art of murder," the other Masters, including Weber, had confirmed the 'divinity' from various sources!

Several Masters were desperately searching for that Servant who seemed like a god incarnate because all indications suggested that this "deity" was the most formidable obstacle to preventing them from obtaining the Holy Grail!

Little did they know, Kyouka originally didn't belong to the Heroic Spirit system, and even her own powers didn't belong to this world.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!—"

The video playing was slightly dim, perhaps due to live streaming, and even the shaking sensation wasn't processed in time.

The tall and thin black figure was shot by numerous Noble Phantasms, and shattered white bone fragments scattered around!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Kyouka clicked her tongue. "He looks pretty fierce."

"This King of Heroes, besides using the treasures of kings to clash, has only the Chains of Heaven and Noble Phantasms that can affect the boundaries, right?"

"For now, that's correct. Other methods of combat won't harm you."

"The performance of Tohsaka Tokiomi and Kayneth Archibald..."

"It's very fake," Red Hare concluded.

"Discovered by Emiya Kiritsugu in the 'first battle,' it's simply foolish for someone in the Assassin class. Although it hasn't been exposed by other Masters afterward, being discovered right at the destination in the 'first battle' is really..."

"Indeed, it's quite fake. Saber once mentioned that when Heroic Spirits are in the mortal world, they are endowed with a wealth of knowledge. The actions of this Assassin, well... it's a mysterious operation."

"Master, don't dwell on it. Due to your presence, the 'first battle' is expected to happen earlier."

"When?" Kyouka was indifferent.

"Expected tomorrow night."

"Is that so?" Kyouka looked out of the window. The Fuyuki City of the 1990s was vastly different from New York in the Marvel Universe.

"Living in the same city as these freaks, even if it's only for a few days, it's a sweat for these ordinary humans."

"Are you afraid it will lower your evaluation?" Red Hare teased.

Kyouka's expression stiffened slightly. "You talk too much!"

...

After Red Hare cast the spell known as 'Acharn,' Kyouka could finally stand openly on the street without being bothered.

Only a few extremely lucky individuals in the crowd could feel that moment of astonishment.

Sakura held Kyouka's hand, and Kyouka led the young girl wherever she wanted to go.

Cake shops, bookstores, watching movies...

"Sakura, I got this for you. Be careful, it might be hot."

"Yeah, thank you, big sister."

Kyouka habitually placed her hand on Sakura's head and gently rubbed it.

"Saber? What are you looking at?"

A woman in a white gown approached a... handsome ponytailed bodyguard.

The beautiful person referred to as "Saber" had a serious expression, raising her chin slightly in the direction Kyouka departed. "Madam, she should be a Servant."

"Her?" Einsbern narrowed her eyes, locking onto Kyouka in the crowd.

The black-haired girl seemed to sense something and turned back, giving her a slight smile.

Only when the girl disappeared into the crowd with the little one, did the tense muscles on Saber gradually relax.

Einsbern furrowed her brow, "She might be a local mage from the Far East. I didn't sense any danger from her."

"No, Madam," Saber countered. "With such beauty, she could be called a witch, but she can easily make us forget her face."

"True, I can't even remember what she looks like now, even though I just saw her..."

"If it weren't for the little girl with her, I wouldn't have noticed her."

Understanding, Einsbern tightened her small hand. "Should we tell Kiritsugu about this?"

"I suggest the Master should know."

"Saber, can you guess her class?"

"This..." The handsome youth's face stiffened, seemingly choked by Einsbern's question.

"Just kidding~" The woman in white said with a smile before turning serious again. "Could she be the Divine Spirit that Kiritsugu is looking for?"

Saber's expression became more rigid. "It's hard to imagine a witch having any connection with a god."

"So she isn't, then?"

"Madam, it's better not to jump to conclusions about everything."

"Sigh~" Einsbern, the woman, sighed and complained, "Saber, sometimes you're just too serious."

Saber's mouth twitched slightly. "Madam..."

"I know, I know. Where should we go next?"

...

After a day of fun, Sakura was already a bit tired, and her little hand was tightly holding Kyouka's.

In the distance, magical energy was emanating, and for a knight, this seemed more like a necessary prelude to a challenge.

Sakura also sensed something about it.

"Should we go take a look?"

Sakura hesitated a bit.

"Tohsaka Tokiomi will also participate~"

"Um!" Sakura nodded suddenly and looked at Kyouka with a shy glance. "Sister... am I being selfish?"

"How could that be? Sakura is such a well-behaved girl~ If I had such a beautiful daughter, I would definitely pamper her to be the happiest little princess in the world!"

"Is... is that so?" Sakura lowered her head, her mind filled with Kyouka's half-exposed exquisite face.

Taking advantage of the continued effect of 'Acharn,' the two secretly lurked on top of a certain container. Under the cover of the night, they sat "openly" watching this knightly competition!

Of course, the main scene that caught Sakura's attention was the image of Kyouka pulling out a large number of snacks from her spatial backpack, making it seem quite out of place.

Unconsciously, Sakura relaxed as well, and it seemed that the influence of her 'father' on her was decreasing.

"Snap~"

A small snap of the fingers brought Sakura back from her daze, and she stared blankly at Kyouka.

Looking towards Lancer standing on the distant cement ground like a javelin, Kyouka shook her head and sighed, "This XX loli is sentencing herself to death."
