"Sorry, I'm late!"
Waver, who arrived late, froze the moment he saw Kishur. After all, who in the Clock Tower didn't know the name of the Marshal of Sorcery? Even his teacher, Kayneth, was far from being on the same level as this big shot!
"You're here? Then let's set off."
"I've already had someone discuss it with the head priest of Ryūdō Temple. All the monks have left the temple and will return once we're finished."
Kiritsugu Emiya said as he started the car.
"I am deeply sorry. It is rare for you to visit, yet you have to travel in such a vehicle."
Tohsaka Tokiomi bowed his head to Kishur with great guilt.
"It's fine. Isn't there an old saying in Huaxia: 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'?"
When mentioning "Huaxia," Kishur seemed to look meaningfully at Akatsuki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, though Akatsuki had no intention of responding to that gaze.
She just wanted to know why she was stuck in a car with three grown men!
Kiritsugu Emiya: Actually, this car wasn't cheap... "Boy, do you have that thing called a driver's license?"
Rider's massive frame firmly occupied the driver's seat, completely ignoring Waver tugging at his cloak.
"Rider! What are you doing?! Even if I don't have a license, I can't let you drive! What if you go charging down the road shouting about conquest?! Don't cause trouble for Tohsaka and the Jewel Owner!"
"Enough! Even I will not violate the traffic rules! Sit back and relax!"
Rider picked up Waver with two fingers, placed him in the back seat, and considerately tied him up in a dead knot with the seatbelt.
Kirei Kotomine, sitting in the back seat, silently watched the struggling Waver.
Kirei Kotomine: Actually, I have a driver's license.
"Irisviel... are you sure you want to drive..."
Saber gripped her seatbelt in fear; she still couldn't forget the scene of Irisviel speeding back then.
"Of course! You're finally here, and because of you, Avalon can make me move again. How can I not enjoy this properly?" Irisviel excitedly fiddled with everything in the driver's seat. "Maiya, keep an eye on the children."
"Understood..."
Maiya Hisau looked at the two little girls on either side of her with some difficulty.
"Maiya, in a moment, all three of you fasten your seatbelts and keep your hands on Sakura and Rin at all times!"
"Huh?" Maiya Hisau looked at Saber in confusion, unsure of what she meant. She had seen Irisviel drive before, and from the castle, Irisviel's driving skills seemed quite superb. "We shouldn't need to worry about the Madam's skills, right?"
However, just to be safe, Maiya Hisau did as Saber said.
Saber: Actually, watching and riding are two different experiences.
"Wait! Boy! Why is that white car driving so fast!"
Rider excitedly watched the white car speeding down the street, and in the next second, he floored the accelerator!
"Boy! We can't lose to her! Giddy-up!"
"This isn't a horse! You idiot! And don't speed like her! Idiot, idiot, idiot!"
Rider's excited voice contrasted sharply with Waver's screams. Irisviel, who was far ahead, also noticed Rider approaching and immediately floored her accelerator as well.
"Wait! Irisviel! Too fast!"
Even though she was prepared, Saber was still shocked by the speed. Maiya Hisau, in the back seat, was hugging Matou Sakura and Tohsaka Rin tightly, fearing they might fly out of their seats the next second.
"Rider! Too fast! Slow down! You idiot!!!"
"Fool! I am the King of Conquerors! Since I am still in this world, I will carry out conquest for the rest of my life! I must overtake that white car!"
"You idiot!"
"Irisviel... should we slow down a bit..."
"Oh, Saber, this is what they call getting fired up!"
Saber:???
Irisviel, erupting with mysterious power, maintained top speed, constantly overtaking on curves while interfering with Rider behind her. Fortunately, she didn't cause any accidents.
"Uh..."
Kiritsugu Emiya watched the two racing each other in disbelief. Of course, at his speed, he could only see the afterimages of those two cars. To compensate for his lack of mobility during the Holy Grail War, Kiritsugu had specially modified the vehicle, but he never expected these modifications would be used as tools for a race between Irisviel and the King of Conquerors.
"Was the world almost conquered by that kind of idiot?"
"Kiritsugu Emiya! Speed up! How can the Grand Master fall behind others!"
"Tohsaka Tokiomi, watch your persona! Don't let your character break just because you see the Second Magus!"
Akatsuki complained silently. Although Kishur looked calm and composed, Akatsuki could clearly feel the car gradually accelerating, and the speed was simply unreasonable!
No, why are you competing with these youngsters too?!
"Hey, Assassin's Master! Have your Assassin stop that car in front!"
Kirei Kotomine, suddenly called upon, shook his head helplessly as he watched Rider, who was obsessed with the race. On the other side, Assassin, standing on the roof of the car, sneered as he watched the racing car that was still some distance away.
"Wait! Rider, aren't you..."
"Shut up! This is a fair and square attack! It's not a sneaky ambush like Assassin's!"
Seeing Assassin standing on the roof of Rider's car in the rearview mirror, Irisviel bit her lip and looked at Saber in the passenger seat.
"Oh, Saber, let me go a bit faster!"
Saber:???
Helplessly, she could only ask Akatsuki to lift the mana restriction.
"What should you call me when you're asking for a favor?"
Akatsuki's voice reached Saber's ears. Her face turned red, and she finally whispered, "Master."
In an instant, a massive amount of mana refilled her body with strength.
Mana Burst + Invisible Air!
Akatsuki closed her eyes.
I can't look! I simply can't look!
Several people hundreds or thousands of years old are secretly competing here for some reason, racing right in the city center! And Irisviel, you don't even have a driver's license!
Just as Akatsuki was worried about traffic police blocking the road, the sound of a police car suddenly came from behind.
Akatsuki:...
