" The church only a representative of Holy Church on Holy Grail War. So, the church is the part of world of mage, not in religion. " Reply Shirou. " Besides, Caren is my younger sister. "
" You are sibling? " Ask Naruto
" He is my foster brother. My father adopted him. " Reply Caren.
" Why your surname different? "
" I use my mother's surname. "

CLANG
The bell ringing is a sign a customer enter the cafe. He is Master of Lancer and Berserker. He arrive with his Servants, Yudhisthira and Duryodhana.
" Ah, Pastor... You are here. " The Master greets Shirou.
" Tsuchimikado-san, isn't it? I think you have a business with the young Master there. I will go so you two feel comfortable. Caren, the money under the cup. " Then, Shirou go from the cafe.
" Sit down please, dear customers. Naruto-kun, I'll leave the store for a while. I need to buy some thing. " Said Caren.
" I understand. Leave it to me. "
Caren takes the money and place it on cash register machine. She turns the open sign and go from the cafe. After Caren go from there, Naruto brew a cup of coffee to Tsuchimikado, the Master of Lancer and Berserker. Tsuchimikado sit on a table in front of counter table, while Yudhisthira and Duryodhana sit on the other side of cafe.
" It's for you. Don't worry, it's free. " Naruto serve the cup of coffee to Tsuchimikado. " Both of you doesn't need a food, is it? Since both of you no longer a human. " Said Naruto to Yudhisthira and Duryodhana.
" You make us seem like we're not human. " Said Duryodhana.
" Technically speaking, he right of it. " Reply Yudhisthira.
" Leave them alone. " Said Tsuchimikado to Naruto.
" Alright... " Reply Naruto. " So, what do you want to talk about? " Ask Naruto.
" First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro. I'm the onmyouji of Tsuchimikado Family and direct descendant of Abe-no-Seimei. " Tsuchimikado introduce himself.
" Abe-no-Seimei? That infamous onmyouji? "
" That's right. You know, there are so many hidden thing on the world of magic. One of them is you. My question, did you know the history of your own family and your eyes? "
" I don't know... I remember my mother taught me a magecraft, but I can't remember my father taught me any magecraft. "
" Memory-altering magic isn't a common magecraft. My hypothesis is your father uses that magic to you. "
" Why do you think that way? " Ask Naruto.
" Actually, Namikaze Clan is a quite famous mage family. They always produce talented and wonderful Master in every Holy Grail War, even when the war still held on Fuyuki City. "
" Then, what's your relationship with my family? "
" I know your father. We are not an acquaintance, but we had good relationship. "
" So, what's your relationship with my father? "
" Your father, me, and that pastor... We are participants on last Double Holy Grail 10 years ago. "
The statement from Tsuchimikado make Naruto silent.
" You don't believe me? " Ask Tsuchimikado
" No. Your statement makes sense to me. No wonder I have memories about Big Sis, since she is a Servant. " Reply Naruto.
" I can give you a prove. Tsuchimikado Family always be a 'recorder' who record all Holy Grail War, include the war of Fuyuki and Double Holy Grail. "
" I understand. Let's just say I trust you. "
" Alright. Did you have other question? "
" About my eyes. Do you know anything about my eyes? "
" Do you know about Mystic Eyes? "
" Mystic Eyes? I never hear that. "
" Simply put, it is an eye that makes someone have special power. For the example, I ever meet someone who can see the someone's 'line of death' and if he destroy the line, he can killed the owner line instantly. Normally, you can get the eyes on natural ways, either suddenly you get it or inherited from your lineage. The other way is by transplant someone's eye to you. Your eyes is Mystic Eyes of Phantasm Mimicry, the Mystic Eyes that makes you able to mimic any Noble Phantasms from any Servants. "
" Mystic Eyes... of... Phantasm... Mimicry...!? What a minute! Did my eyes too powerful!? " Ask Naruto.
" Yes. You right. The powerful Mystic Eyes that suitable to participant of Holy Grail War. You and your eyes is the worst enemy on this war. The ability of your eyes is the passive one. That means your eyes will automatically works when the condition fulfilled. The condition to make your eyes work is directly see Servant's Noble Phantasm. "
" .... " Naruto still silent when hear that.
" Then, Mystic Eyes of Phantasm Mimicry has a unique genetic ways. The Mystic Eyes only inherited to eldest son of Namikaze Clan Patriarch who will be the next head leader and patriarch. And for unknown reason, all various attempt to kill the owner of Mystic Eyes of Phantasm Mimicry always failed before he has a son. "
" Huh...!? "
Then, Tsuchimikado takes a scroll and open it.
" The scroll contain the genealogy of Namikaze Clan. You can see all first child of Namikaze Clan always a son and all of them will always survive until they have a son. "
Naruto take the scroll and read it.
" Take it. I already copy it. "
" How you can get all of this? " Ask Naruto
" I already told you that we, Tsuchimikado Family, always be a 'recorder' of history of Holy Grail War. It was include every period blank between the war, either 10 years blank period of this war or 60 years blank period of war of Fuyuki. I always find information about any magic family, include Namikaze and Uchiha. Basically, I am the data broker. You also can buy an information to me. Of course, there are price for it. "
" I'll think about that. So, what's your plan? I know you have a plan about this war. "
" Namikaze-kun, did you believe there will be a chaos in this war? " Ask Tsuchimikado that makes Naruto became more interested to it.
" What do you mean about 'chaos'? "
" Let we say there will be other party outside 7 Master who try to get Holy Grail. "
" What is the basis of your hypothesis? "
" The last Double Holy Grail War ended after two victory defeat other participant who uses black magic. I'm sure the black magic user will return in this war. "
" So, you want to recruit us? "
" That's right. My goal is gather as many allies as possible. But, I only recruit you to help me during the 'chaos' time. Before the black magic user appear, we are enemy; and after the black magic user defeated, we will be an enemy again. "
" So, we only cooperate to fight them? "
" That's right. "
" Let me thinking about it first. "
" It's alright. I'll wait your answer. Just tell me if you agree to cooperate with me. " Tsuchimikado drink the cup of coffee. " Alright. It's time to go. Let's go, Berserker, Lancer. "
Then, Tsuchimikado go from the cafe along with his Servants. After Tsuchimikado and his Servants go from there, Naruto sit down in front of his Servants.
" It's really... a turning point.... huh... " Naruto mumble to himself. " This war... there is more I need to know... "
