Multiverse: Starting With Killer Queen

"What a pointless struggle! Since you are Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant, you should have better judgment."

Looking at Hisau Maiya who had taken out another dagger from somewhere, Roland said in a very complacent voice.

"You should know that if I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago. In that case, why don't you just cooperate with me? It can also extend the time you have left."

Hisau Maiya's face darkened when she heard that, but she gritted her teeth and didn't continue speaking.

Exposing some of the known information just now was already her bottom line. If she didn't want to take advantage of the other party's contempt for her and buy time, she would never have done such a thing.

The enemy has such terrible abilities that even if they resist here, they will be easily killed. Hisau Maiya is well aware of this.

In this case, after he gets rid of me, he will definitely cooperate with the so-called second bomb to hunt down Kiritsugu. Therefore, it is better for me to work harder and buy as much time as possible for Kiritsugu to retreat.

Forcing Roland to kill himself was the final step to buy time.

What the other party said was indeed correct. Although she didn't know that this information was dangerous, Hisau Maiya also knew what kind of man Emiya Kiritsugu was.

If the only person he could trust also died, then even without being reminded, this man would be extremely vigilant against everything around him, and might even directly call upon the heroic spirits to prevent Roland from finding an opportunity to assassinate him.

"Tsk,... boring."

Roland curled his lips, "Are you going to use your own death to exchange for Emiya Kiritsugu's life?"

"What an amazing loyalty. It makes me look like some kind of villain that is hated by everyone."

He complained about this in a rather sarcastic tone. God have mercy on him, he was just doing his job, he didn't provoke anyone, but he was kidnapped for no apparent reason, and later he was put in a dangerous situation where his Command Seal was coveted.

If he didn't have Killer Queen, he would probably be a cold corpse now.

Of course, such words would not have any effect on Hisau Maiya. Apart from matters related to Emiya Kiritsugu, her cruelty was deep in her bones.

"You're not going to reply? That's boring. Forget it. Who made you meet a kind-hearted person like me? I will take your life as you wish."

Roland shook his head and walked towards the livid-faced Hisaumi, ready to end her last hope.

——

Emiya Kiritsugu advanced cautiously at a pace that would not attract much attention even in the middle of the night.

Just now, Hisau Maiya called him to a nearby base through a secret code on the intercom.

Although the Holy Grail War has not yet begun at this time, there should be no danger, and it is not to the point where there is a need to use secret codes to report the situation.

After all, Hisau Maiya just went to buy a pack of cigarettes tonight, and her information has never appeared before, so she shouldn't be targeted by anyone.

But Emiya Kiritsugu did not say much. Although he had many questions in his mind, he could only guess whether Hisau Maiya had encountered some emergency.

Emiya Kiritsugu trusts Hisau Maiya unconditionally and regards her as his strongest weapon.

She was able to remain calm at all times, and her judgments were even better than his own. For this reason, all of Kiritsugu's preparations for the Holy Grail War in Einzbern Castle were carried out by Hisau Maiya.

She was also a woman that made Kiritsugu feel completely at ease. When Kiritsugu was by her side, he never felt ashamed of his own meanness, nor did he ever hate her cruelty.

If there is still a place for Emiya Kiritsugu to belong in this world, it is undoubtedly her.

When they were only two streets away from the base, Emiya Kiritsugu tapped the intercom lightly, calling Hisau Maiya.

"…"

There was no response from the intercom except for the monotonous voice.

"?"

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned vigilantly. Hisau Maiya was definitely not someone who would let him down. She was an excellent warrior that he had trained personally.

Therefore, there is only one possible scenario: something went wrong.

When he realized this, Kiritsugu Emiya reacted promptly. Fortunately, he had his weapons box in his hands because he had to deploy a base today.

He quickly took out his usual weapon and prepared to fire at any time. With the help of his large black windbreaker, Kiritsugu Emiya hid his gun-holding hand and slowly approached the stronghold.

But contrary to his expectations, he did not encounter any traps or obstacles.

This is so wrong.

Although Hisau Maiya is only a low-rate magician, she is a first-rate killer. When the two work together, ordinary magicians cannot even resist her.

Is it that my intelligence has not been exposed yet? I cannot ignore this possibility, but I cannot be careless either.

With every step he took, the intense uneasiness in Emiya Kiritsugu's heart became more obvious.

Although there was no one around and no sound, the intuition cultivated over the years on the battlefield still made Kiritsugu Emiya stop.

He took out a special gift set and threw it hard to the ground. Although he was used to using modern weapons, considering that he might have to engage in a magic battle this time, Kiritsugu Emiya still asked the Einzbern, who was famous for alchemy, for some special gifts.

He could probably handle physical attacks, but dealing with beings that controlled evil spirits was not Kiritsugu Emiya's strong point.

After the costume exploded, invisible dust spread around in the form of a ring. This was both a barrier that could harm evil spirits and expose their tracks.

Then, an invisible wheel track appeared in the sparkling dust, moving towards Emiya Kiritsugu in a standard yet disturbing way.

The distance between the wheel tracks was not that wide, and the moving speed was only about the same as that of a remote-controlled car, but Kiritsugu Emiya, whose guess had come true, did not dare to be careless at all.

Because the wheel track was less than two body lengths away from him.

"asshole!"

Emphasizing the brief words, Emiya Kiritsugu fired subconsciously while taking out a tube of blue medicine from his pocket and pouring it into his mouth.

This was a product he obtained when he returned to Japan for work when he was young. It was an experimental product that had leaked out from a local family. After trying its effects, Kiritsugu Emiya bought the small amount without hesitation.

Although it gives him a splitting headache every time he uses it, the power of this potion can make up for Kiritsugu Emiya's biggest weakness when facing spirits.

It allows the user to briefly possess the ability of the magic eye called the Pure Eye, which is to see "objects that should not exist".

Although he was mentally prepared, Emiya Kiritsugu still showed a surprised expression when he saw that the incoming object was a toy-like car.

But he was not in the mood to pay attention to this at the moment, because, while he was retreating and preparing, the car had already overtaken him by several body lengths.

Now, the toy-like car has come to Kiritsugu Emiya's feet.

But something even more bizarre happened. Kiritsugu Emiya, with veins bulging in his eyes, looked at the car in front of him, and his usually cold face finally broke.

Because, as the jaw of the skull on the roof of the car opened and closed, Kiritsugu Emiya discovered that he heard the sound of the car.

It was pure Japanese, and it said again: "——Show me here!"

The next moment, a loud explosion suddenly sounded.
