"I found a Heroic Spirit and am tracking down their identity," Black Sun said coolly, focusing on Kisaragi Rin.
"Did you notice any special characteristics?"
Kisaragi Rin asked him.
"No idea. He was wearing a black robe and disappeared into a blind spot after noticing my gaze."
Black Sun shook his head. He was currently just an ordinary Kasugai Crow, and Heroic Spirits' senses were enough for them to detect gazes from other directions.
Compared to searching for the existence of Heroic Spirits, Black Sun's task was more about finding the Master near the Heroic Spirit.
"Esdeath, Saber, Medea, plus Hydra Captain, the remaining three Heroic Spirits surely won't be weak either…"
Watching Black Sun fly away, Kisaragi Rin pondered this rather unusual Holy Grail War.
There were simply too many peculiarities about this Holy Grail War, from the grand scale of the relationship between Paradise and the Fate World to the minor detail of the replaced Fuyuki City locals.
Both the Fuyuki City where the supernatural had receded and the players whose abilities were likewise sealed were worth considering.
For example, was the sealing of players' abilities really caused by Paradise's [Restricted Confrontation] mode?
If it was caused by Paradise, then why were the people Kisaragi Rin brought from the Workshop also sealed of their abilities?
Could it be that Paradise was constantly monitoring everything in the Fate World this time, and anyone who came would be immediately sealed?
Compared to this somewhat unlikely scenario, Kisaragi Rin leaned more towards another explanation.
That is, players' abilities were not sealed by Paradise, but by the Fate World itself!
As Fuyuki City where the supernatural had receded, this timeline itself was special. Regardless of whether you were a player sent in by Paradise or a character smuggled in by the Workshop, every person or object appearing in this world would have their supernatural means sealed.
This was why Kisaragi Rin could unseal his abilities by leaving this world for the Workshop, while others would have their abilities sealed as soon as they arrived in this world.
Under this speculation, the cause-and-effect relationship of this game was completely reversed. It wasn't that Paradise set the [Restricted Confrontation] mission mode and then there was a supernatural seal; rather, upon arriving in this world with a supernatural seal, Paradise then issued the [Restricted Confrontation] mission mode.
Looking at the Fate World from this new perspective, many things began to make sense.
It was precisely because the supernatural had receded that players were left with only their basic six-dimensional attributes.
And as the only remaining supernatural parts of this world, Heroic Spirits and Command Spells were not provided by Fate itself. The appearance of Paradise created some slight loopholes in this Fuyuki City without the supernatural.
Heroic Spirits came to this world using Dragon Balls provided by Paradise as summoning tools, and players' Skills, equipment, and items also needed to be unsealed through Paradise's Command Spells.
Understanding this also gave him a deeper understanding of the worldview of this Fate World.
To obtain the Paradise sequence named S, all intelligence about this world was essential.
All clues would converge to become the reins leading the way forward.
Kisaragi Rin couldn't help but think, "There are still so many things I haven't figured out. Can't you just arrange a normal game for me to enjoy the fun of mowing down enemies?"
On the second day of arriving in the Fate World, he first met up with Yukinoshita Yukino, then attacked Sugo Nobuyuki to summon Medea, summoned Medusa through Sugo Nobuyuki, then used a Command Spell to unseal [Skill - Materialization Split] to create Medea Lily, fought Hydra Captain, experienced the time-stop crisis, then took down Esdeath, successfully navigated the love triangle, listened to Esdeath's story, and relocated to Ryudoji Temple…
"…So many things have already happened, and the second day isn't even over yet."
Kisaragi Rin sat up from the ground, looking back towards the interior of Ryudoji Temple.
There, the aura of ice was gradually dissipating, indicating that Esdeath's skirmish with Saber had temporarily concluded.
Kisaragi Rin could already imagine Esdeath's expression as she searched for him. If one didn't observe her inner self, Esdeath mostly behaved like a little girl deeply in love. From this perspective, she actually had similarities with Medea.
Thinking of these two beauties, a thought suddenly popped into Kisaragi Rin's mind: "Should I go back to the Workshop to sleep tonight, or else they'll fight?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. As his thoughts drifted over these Heroic Spirits and Busujima Saeko from the Main World, Kisaragi Rin rubbed his temples and made a decision.
"For the next game, I'll choose a world with better scenery and take them on a vacation…"
The reason for this idea was partly because of them and partly because of Kisaragi Rin himself.
After becoming a player, he had already experienced too much busyness in such a short time. Kisaragi Rin had long planned to find a world to settle down in.
And after this game, his player sequence would reach S.
Kisaragi Rin thought it over carefully and confirmed that there would be no urgent matters to attend to in the short term.
Since he could be idle, and Kisaragi Rin was not an ascetic, he naturally wanted to relax.
While it wouldn't be "Are there prostitutes in this city?", it would definitely be "Continue the music, continue the dance."
Additionally, he needed to spend more time cultivating relationships with Kanroji Mitsuri and the others. Before Kisaragi Rin came to the Fate World, Kanroji Mitsuri was very excited about what kind of world she would encounter, but when she heard it was just an ordinary modern society, she became somewhat dejected and lost interest.
"There are too many hidden existences in the Main World, and it's not very convenient to take Mitsuri out to play. It's better to find a novel world. She should be very happy then."
While 24 days passed here, only 1 day passed in the Main World. As long as he found a world with beautiful scenery and abundant special products, it would be a perfect vacation spot.
Then, with just one weekend in the Main World, Kisaragi Rin could take them to relax properly.
However, there was still one problem: how to take the Heroic Spirits from the Fate World away!
The fact that players in this world could not take Heroic Spirits as followers already proved the level of trouble involved. Kisaragi Rin could smuggle them into the Workshop, but that was a last resort.
Because neither Medea nor Esdeath were truly "Heroic Spirits."
In the Fate setting, Heroic Spirits are beings detached from the timeline. The moment they become Heroic Spirits, they have already escaped the shackles of time and moved to the Throne of Heroes located outside the world.
Heroic Spirits can be summoned in all eras, whether past or future.
Only the "World" itself can summon the Heroic Spirit's true body. Humans cannot summon the Heroic Spirit's true body, only a Servant, which is a split body.
In other words, when Medea, Medusa, and Esdeath became Heroic Spirits, they were already preserved in the Throne of Heroes, and their current existences were incomplete.
If he used the Workshop to smuggle them, he could only take away the incomplete Heroic Spirits, but Kisaragi Rin wanted to take away all of them!
