Chapitre 298: Brother from a different era
The next day, news of the Matou estate exploding due to a gas leak was announced on television.
Matou estate was one of the famous families in Fuyuki city, so when their estate was burnt, it quickly became one of the hottest news in the city, especially when Kiritsugu Emiya bombed several buildings one after another previously.
Even though the police had said that Kiritsugu had received capital punishment, what about his comrade?
Everyone became wary, and they were afraid that something similar would happen once again.
Frankly, the government could tell that the explosion that happened on Matou's estate wasn't due to a gas leak. Instead, it was something else, but the government also didn't want to cause any more panic, so they could only make such an excuse. Moreover, with everything that was burnt due to the fire, they couldn't find anything, and they could only make an excuse to explain it to the public.
Nevertheless, secretly, they tried to search for Kiritisugu's companion. After all, Kiritsugu was such a maniac, so his companion should be at least on the same level, right?
Naturally, the government panicked and scared in case hundreds of people were killed once again, so they could only do their best to find any clues they could find to solve this problem.
Unfortunately, all of their hard work was meaningless since they couldn't find anything.
However, for the two Masters who were left on this Holy Grail, they knew that this was the work of the Servant.
"This is bad..."
Waver felt dreaded by how elusive Caster was.
Not only was Waver unable to catch the tail of the Caster, but Caster was able to kill most of the Masters and Servants one by one.
Frankly, Waver also had doubts about Kiritsugu's death. It might be his instinct, but somehow he felt that Kiritsugu's death must be the work of Caster.
The hunting was initiated by the police organization of this country; the mistakes on the bombs, and many other things; everything was done by Caster.
"Hahaha...!"
However, Rider laughed. "I want this Caster to be my prime minister! Having such a wicked guy must make my army become stronger!"
"What the hell are you saying, you idiot?!"
Waver looked at Riser exasperatedly, wondering whether a muscle was the only thing inside Rider's head.
"He might come to us, you know?! What if.. what if..."
Waver didn't continue and lowered his head. He was in terror and scared, wishing to go home to London as he felt regret about joining the Holy Grail.
There was nothing more frightening than an unknown.
From beginning to end, no one knew who Caster was and what his appearance was.
No one knew anything about him.
Instead of Caster, Waver felt that this Servant was more like Assassin than the real Assassin.
If there was something known about this Servant, then Caster's attack was related to a fire.
However, was it really the truth?
The fire might be something that was used by Caster to trick all of them, thinking his specialty was a fire, but the truth?
Moreover, Waver wasn't sure when Caster was going to attack.
What if Caster suddenly attacked him when Waver took a break?
At the moment, when everyone rested, Caster would attack.
As Waver thought of such a possibility, he shuddered, then he couldn't help but think. "..did Caster have the ability to observe everyone?"
"What did you say, kid?" Rider looked at Waver in doubt.
"Caster might have the ability to observe us from a distance! If not, then how can he take down all of the Masters and Servants one by one with such a precise time, location, and moment?"
In the case of Lancer's previous battle with Saber, every Servants gathered together as they were attracted by their clashes with Prana. It was impossible to hide their fights, and as long as the battle didn't end in a second, the other Servant would naturally notice the fight and quickly approach the fight to observe from a distance, like how Rider did by observing the fight between Saber and Lancer on the distance bridge.
Yet, Caster found the right time and moment to fight his opponents one by one, defeating them before leaving without being noticed.
If Caster had the ability to observe everyone, then everything was possible!
"You mean..." Rider frowned. "Even if we're inside this room, we are being seen by Caster."
"Yes!"
"How?"
"I don't know!" Wiver shook his head. "After all, he is a Caster. He was the pinnacle magician of his era, but it might be part of his Noble Phantasm. Still, if that's the case, we should be able to deduct his identity due to this ability."
"For example?"
"Galileo Galilei? The inventor of the telescope and astronomer? He might be able to use the power or star or something? There can be others too, but I am not sure since there isn't much we know about him."
"Then, you don't need to think too much."
"Eh?"
"Anyway, he will come to us sooner or later, right? Then, we might as well enjoy our life to the fullest and make him feel jealous of us!"
Saying those words, Rider tried to play the video game that he had bought yesterday.
".........."
Waver blinked his eyes before he was so angry by Rider's irresponsibility.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?!"
"Calm down. Calm down. If you keep angry all the time, you won't get tall."
"This isn't the time for us to play a game! What if Caster attacks us?!"
"Then, we attacked him back! We will counter him! We will be the victor! Believe me!"
There was no fear in Rider's eyes, and all one could see was a blazing fighting spirit that could make everyone in awe.
"......"
Waver was unable to say a single word as he saw Rider's visage.
King.
This was the best way to describe him.
It might also be the reason why all of his people decided to follow him to the Oceanus, the distant sea in the East.
Due to this confidence, Rider became the light of hope for everyone.
Even Waver, who was scared, also had the urge to show his allegiance and believed in him. Facing those words, he took a deep breath, then said, "Then, do that. I will believe in you once."
"That's good! Now, accompany me to play this game!"
"...are we really going to play this game?"
"Of course!" Rider showed a bright smile. "Isn't it wasteful not to play this game even though we have bought it?"
"Well..."
Waver couldn't argue, especially when the game machine wasn't that cheap either, especially for him, who wasn't coming from an old Magus family. He also came without the permission of anyone, so even if he prepared money, he couldn't afford the luxury like how his teacher would a single floor for himself as a place to stay in the Fuyuki.
In the end, Waver gave up and sat by crossing his legs as he played together with Rider.
"Ah, you made a mistake!"
"You are the one!"
"Dammit, you are so bad!"
"How dare you say that to me?!"
The two had a blast playing a game together.
