Chapter 17 Gildre's Revenge

Chapter 17 Gildre's Revenge

"What? Missing?"

The Fujimura family was already making a fuss because Scarface hadn't picked up the boy from school.

"Miss, that's what they told me when I went to the school. They checked the security footage at the school gate, and Broly left the school on his own."

Scarface said somewhat innocently.

In Japan, elementary school students go home on their own, so when letting children leave school to go home, the First Affiliated Elementary School of Shinshin Town does not deliberately stop any child from leaving.

This led to a situation where Scarface received a notice that school was letting out early, but when he went to pick up Broly at the normal time, he found that Broly was no longer at school.

Scarface couldn't find anyone, the boy was missing, and there was still a kidnapper and murderer roaming around in Fuyuki City, which made Fujimura Taiga, who was on his way home from school, quite furious.

"Didn't the school call and tell you to pick them up early?"

Fujimura Taiga grabbed the scarred man by the collar, his eyes filled with hatred as if he wanted to tear the bastard apart.

"I……"

Scarface didn't know how to respond. He just thought it wouldn't hurt to let the child stay at school and pick him up at the appointed time.

"Dahe, let him go. There's something going on in the group this afternoon, so I asked him to run an errand for me."

Just as Fujimura Taiga was about to beat someone up, Fujimura Raiga defended Scarface.

"grandfather……"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. Getting anxious when problems arise is useless, and blaming others is also pointless. The most important thing now is how to solve the problem."

Fujimura Raiga spoke calmly to his granddaughter.

"So what should we do now?"

Taiga Fujimura asked.

"There are some surveillance cameras installed on the roads around the school. With the connections of our Fujimura group, we have the ability to obtain that surveillance information. So, we need to find someone to retrieve the surveillance footage of the surrounding roads to find the child's whereabouts after leaving school."

"Then hurry up!"

"I've already had someone do it, and according to the surveillance footage, the child boarded the train to Fuyuki West Station without a ticket."

"Huh?"

Fujimura Taiga was somewhat surprised, while Fujimura Raiga had an expression that said, "That's what your grandfather is all about," as he was teaching his granddaughter how to remain calm in the face of adversity.

"And then what?"

"If you were me, Dahe, what would you do?"

"I will find that boy, Broly."

"But what if there are no surveillance cameras?"

"I'll go find it myself."

"Wrong. Your strength is limited. You need to mobilize the Fujimura Group to search. Moreover, it's not just about finding the children. The biggest danger to children in Fuyuki City right now is that serial kidnapper and murderer. We need to find the serial kidnapper and murderer's trail as well. At the same time, we need to use our connections to contact the police and ask them to help us search."

Fujimura Raiga's description of how the emergency was handled left Fujimura Taiga completely bewildered.

Seeing his granddaughter's stunned expression, the old man was very satisfied and continued, "These are things that ordinary people can't do. If an ordinary person goes missing, it takes 48 hours before a case can be filed, and even then, it's often difficult to get any results."

But the Fujimura group is different. We can not only mobilize our subordinates to search, but also contact the police through some connections to ask for their help.

So, Taiga, do you now understand the importance of having a powerful force?

Fujimura Taiga: "..."

"Grandpa, what you said makes a lot of sense. I'm starting to agree that having a powerful force is a good thing. But right now, that's not the important thing. I just want to ask, has Broly been found yet?"

"It hasn't been found yet, but we should have news soon."

"That means he's gone. No, I have to go out and look for him too..."

"Fujimura-neechan, is dinner ready?"

While Fujimura Taiga was asking about the boy's last known location, Broly fell from the sky and landed in the backyard. He saw some people inside the house, but no one noticed him, so he went over to his sister and wife and asked them.

"Who cares about eating now? Right now... wait, what?!"

Fujimura Taiga realized what was happening and stopped talking. He turned around and looked at Broly, who had suddenly appeared outside the courtyard, along with the others.

"Hey, you're back?"

Scarface asked the question.

"Yes, I'm back."

Broly nodded.

"Where have you been, you little rascal? I was so worried when I heard you suddenly disappeared."

Fujimura Taiga rushed over, hugged him, and asked him questions.

"My classmate from school and I went to visit another classmate of hers. On the way, she even treated me to takoyaki."

And in the end, she even gave me her share of takoyaki. That thing called takoyaki was delicious…”

Broly, reflecting on his after-school experiences, answered Fujimura Taiga's question. However, in his answer, the taste of the takoyaki and the way to add toppings seemed to be the elements worth describing in detail, while unimportant things were simply ignored.

"You need to tell your parents before you go out with your friends, okay? Otherwise, they'll worry about you."

Seeing that Broly had returned safely, Fujimura Taiga was relieved, but still gave the boy a lecture.

"Okay, I understand."

Broly took note and nodded obediently.

"Just remember that, your sister will take you to eat."

After ruffling the boy's hair, Fujimura Taiga led him to the cafeteria.

"Grandpa, this..."

"Tell them not to bother, let them all come back."

Fujimura Raika waved her hand. Broly's disappearance was an accident, but at least it showed her granddaughter the benefits of having powerful subordinates. The boy's safe return was even better, as it saved them the trouble of searching for him.

. . . .

"Was this guy hit by a heavy truck?"

The missing child was found and taken back, but the police still needed to stay here to deal with the body of the suspected perpetrator. The police officers investigating the scene frowned as they looked at the young man's body, which was embedded in a broken wooden box and whose abdominal cavity was almost completely obscured.

I've seen many death scenes, but this one is particularly outrageous. I can't figure out what could have caused the person to look like this.

"In any case, this should be the prime suspect in the recent home invasion murder, child abduction, and child abuse in Fuyuki City."

Take careful photos of this person's appearance. When you get back, you'll need to investigate his identity to see if you can find any substantial evidence.

After the police inspector in charge of on-site command finished speaking, he realized that none of his subordinates responded to him.

Why are you all so quiet?

Turning around, he saw his men being entangled by the necks of some tentacle monsters.

Hanging in mid-air, it looked like it was struggling desperately but couldn't break free no matter what it did.

"A monster?"

The inspector's eyes widened, and he took two steps back, but there was nowhere left to retreat; behind him lay the gruesome corpse.

"Let go of my people."

He could only draw his pistol and try to threaten the monsters that were wrapped around his men's necks to make them release their tentacles.

"How could this happen?"

But before he could fire, a surprised and incredulous voice came from behind the sea monster.

"It's dangerous here."

A strange man dressed in a blue robe ignored the police inspector's warning and strode into the bar.

This person had very prominent eyes, reminiscent of a bulging-eyed goldfish, yet he passed right past the sea demon without encountering any obstruction.

"Ryunosuke Uryu, my Master, I never imagined you would die before me."

Sorrow filled Gildre's eyes as a Master who shared his language and interests appeared before him in the form of a corpse.

"However, your death was quite artistic; it seems you sacrificed yourself for art!"

Since the sea monster didn't stop him, and the guy started talking to the already dead corpses as soon as he arrived, the inspector realized something.

"You're in cahoots with this kidnapping and murder suspect, and you're controlling these monsters too?"

The inspector pointed his gun at the man.

"Make those monsters release my colleague, or I'll shoot."

The inspector threatened that some people were already rolling their eyes and he had to take action.

"Um?"

Bluebeard lowered his head, looking at the policeman who was only chest-high, and retorted, "Don't you know that you shouldn't disturb people when they are grieving and mourning the deceased?"

He raised his hand towards the man's head, but didn't grab it; he simply placed it in front of him: "But you don't seem to have much of an artistic talent, so I'll forgive you."

Bluebeard muttered a spell in a low voice. The inspector didn't understand what he was doing, but he roared, "I told you to tell those monsters to let my colleague down, did you hear me?"

"Dark Sacrifice, Sea Demon Summoning."

The magic array and the materials for casting the spell are the police inspector in front of us.

"What is this? What have you done?"

A sudden, sharp pain shot through his body, and the police inspector's face changed.

"Rip~"

Before he could pull the trigger, a sea monster burst out of his body.

He died, and his flesh and blood were devoured by the monster that emerged from his body.

"Ryunosuke Uryu, God is so unfair, making you, such a great human artist, leave the stage early, but it doesn't matter, you still have me."

I, Gildre, swear here and now that I will make that agent of the will of God who caused your premature departure exit from this stage called the world in the same way.

He raised his hand and stabbed into the body of a police officer hanging from the sea monster, tearing out a fresh heart.

The chanting resumed, and as the heart, used as the material for the spell, exploded, the blood from the heart, carrying the resentment of the deceased, was guided in one direction by the magic.

. . . .

"Fog? No, this is a phenomenon caused by magic!"

Through Assassin's perspective, Kirei Kotomine, who was waiting in the Fuyuki Church, discovered Caster leading a group of sea monsters.

That guy still made no attempt to hide his mysteriousness, and even went so far as to lead a group of familiars down the street.

Along the way, any ordinary people they encountered were killed without explanation and used as materials to summon familiars.

"What a madman!"

While informing Tokiomi Tohsaka of the new operation, Kirei Kotomine also had his Assassin knock out and throw aside innocent passersby in the enemy's path.

This wasn't out of any good intention to save people; it was simply to prevent Caster's familiar party from expanding further.

"What? Caster summoned a bunch of exalted demons in the street, and they're parading now?"

Upon receiving the news, Tokiomi Tohsaka felt his blood pressure about to explode. As the head of the Tohsaka family, the most prestigious magician family in Fuyuki City, he had the obligation and responsibility to maintain the local mystery.

Caster's behavior of leading a large group of familiars and recklessly parading through the streets is simply an act of direct confrontation, challenging his bottom line as a magician.

Can the Holy Grail ritual still be called a mysterious ritual at this point? Should we hang a megaphone on the other person and announce it to the public?

"Has Caster's Master gone mad, ordering his Servant to do this? Isn't he afraid of being surrounded and killed by a multitude of Servants?"

"Teacher Toki, if I may be so blunt, that pair is just insane, ever since the Holy Grail ritual began."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, what's their goal? Did they create such a huge commotion just to make themselves the target of everyone's criticism?"

"Based on Caster's route, he and his familiars are heading towards the base where Saber and her group changed locations. For some reason, Caster has been targeting Saber. Hmm, teacher, should we intercept Caster's actions now?"

After Kirei Kotomine finished reporting Caster's objectives, he began to inquire.

"Is it to deal with Saber? Then there's no need to snipe him. Let Caster and that crazy duo be the stepping stones to test Saber's power."

Of course, you need to continue having the Assassins clear out the civilians in the enemy's path. If too many civilians die, it won't be easy to cover it up.

Tokiomi Tohsaka did not stop Caster's operation, but simply instructed his disciple to do some follow-up work to better clean up the mess and reduce the number of ordinary people killed.

. . . . .

Guided by the blood of resentment, Gildre arrived at the old town of Fuyuki City unimpeded, thanks to the silent efforts of Kirei Kotomine's servants in clearing out innocent bystanders.

"Kiritsugu!"

In the mansion at the new base, Artoria sensed something unusual in the air. She rushed into the mansion and found that her Master, Kiritsugu Emiya, had also noticed the strange magical energy in the air.

At this moment, he had already assembled a submachine gun. Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Saber who had rushed in and instructed Kuon Maiya, who was still injured, "Protect Irisviel. Saber, come with me to meet the enemy."

Under the moonlit night, the streets were shrouded in mist, and dark clouds obscured the moonlight. The moment the moonlight reappeared, Caster and his sea monster army appeared at the end of the street, a number of familiars far greater than when they attacked Einzbern Castle.

"You evil path, how many innocent people have you slaughtered?!"

Looking at the massive sea demon army, Artoria felt only anger. Although she was not from this era or this country, her adherence to chivalry made her furious at those who committed heretical acts.

"Oh dear, what a coincidence that I have been able to meet the beautiful Saintess here again. It seems that fate has arranged for you to return to my side. But, Saintess, I, Gildre, have not come tonight to see you. I have come for revenge!"

"Huh?!"

Both Artoria, who had come out to the street to meet the enemy, and Kiritsugu Emiya, who had already set up his gun on the roof, exclaimed in surprise.

"My master, Ryunosuke Uryu, a great human artist, was brutally murdered in an unnamed bar. My magic guides the arrival of the vengeful army. Make way, Saint Girl, there is no play for you on the stage tonight."
