Mikaku Singularity (XI): Incredible Marksmanship...
[Unlock hidden identity~☆]
Rei Furuya plays the eldest son of the Miyano family.
Haha, Amuro Tooru stared at the string of characters on the electronic screen and fell silent. He could almost hear the mischievous and teasing voice of that wicked AI.
With the final shoe dropping, all the anxiety of the past few days was pointless. He no longer needs to worry about his identity being exposed; he's been thoroughly stripped bare.
But that wasn't all. When he realized that Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't answer, he frowned and, as if he had discovered some secret, forcefully turned Morofushi's shoulder.
Amuro Toru instinctively tried to dodge, but Morofushi Kagemitsu pressed him down harder, his eyes growing colder.
"What are you doing?" Amuro Tooru asked, taking a deep breath.
"You don't still like Akemi-nee, do you?" At the same time, Morofushi Kagemitsu asked seriously.
Toru Amuro was stunned: "...??!"
This is outrageous!
His words were like a depth charge, leaving Amuro Tooru completely bewildered. If Morofushi Kagemitsu hadn't been holding his shoulder, he would have jumped up in fright.
Wait a minute, the one who likes Akemi is the game character, not him. Calm down, calm down—but that's not right either! The person he's playing is the brother of the Miyano sisters! Aren't they related by blood?
“…Zhu Fushi, I am Akemi’s brother.” He said weakly.
“You’d better remember that you are her biological brother.” Zhu Fujingguang lowered his eyes and emphasized the words “biological brother”.
Then Amuro Tooru was forced to listen to an incredibly melodramatic story.
The doctor met the woman he fell in love with at first sight while at the University of Paris—a gentle and intelligent young lady. He harbored a secret crush on her for three years, but never confessed his feelings.
Just as the doctor was hired as the Miyano family's private physician, and just as he was ready to confess his feelings to his sweetheart, he suddenly learned that his Miyano family's long-lost eldest son was missing.
He and his sweetheart are blood-related siblings.
...Ah, it's not so bad, is it? There's already an unbreakable bond that tightly connects them, the doctor thought painfully.
So he stepped back and watched her fall in love, watched her prepare to get married.
"The stalker that Akemi-nee was talking about is you, isn't it?" Morofushi Hiromitsu looked up and saw Amuro Tooru's unsettled gaze, as if he was trying to say something, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't try to fool me, I came back to stake out the place a few days ago."
Huh? Amuro Tooru's brain went blank for a moment. He really wanted to curse the author who wrote the game's script. So this character wasn't just a minor one; there were so many hidden secrets behind him?
Therefore, a doctor could also be a perpetrator. For some reason, being unable to accept the reality of her beloved's engagement, choosing to kill her fiancé is a plausible explanation.
Judging from Jingguang's tone, the doctor had already chosen to let go of this bitter relationship for the sake of Miyano Akemi's happiness.
There are only two possibilities: first, the doctor was not involved in the murder; second, there was a reason that forced him to kill Mingmei's fiancé.
Amuro Tooru composed himself and tentatively asked, "After Akemi chose to get engaged, why do you think I still have feelings for her that shouldn't exist?"
Zhu Fujingguang sighed, "It's all because I heard that Sister Mingmei has actually fallen for someone who has been with her for a long time."
This description...it's Shuichi Akai again!! Amuro Tooru thought, as a butler, he's clearly more fitting than he is!
"So, you still haven't answered my question." Seeing Amuro Tooru fall into another round of thinking, Morofushi Kagemitsu coughed loudly and asked again, "Are you really planning to continue working with the butler?"
Can a feigned, mutually exploitative relationship be considered cooperation? Amuro Tooru tilted his head, his smiling eyes revealing a chilling coldness.
But one can't be too blatant on enemy territory, so Amuro Tooru changed the subject, "...I also have a question. Why aren't you cooperating with the butler? Are you trying to find out the truth?"
"So what if I am! I'm a prospective police officer, not a criminal. My responsibility is to protect, not to kill."
Amuro Tooru was taken aback, not expecting Morofushi Kagemitsu to answer so readily. He asked, "Even if there's an all-powerful wish-granting machine as a reward?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu said calmly and firmly, "I don't need it."

The next day, thick clouds obscured the sky, making the forest dark and damp. But Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group didn't complain about the bad weather at all; instead, they were grateful for the reduced visibility.
Because they were fleeing for their lives.
Half an hour earlier, they had just made breakfast using whatever ingredients they had on hand, and before they could even take a bite, they heard a gunshot.
"Bang!"
Matsuda Jinpei immediately tackled Fujimaru Ritsuka and Conan to the ground, and the bullet grazed his cheek and embedded itself deeply in the tree trunk.
"Rider, is that a Servant?!" Ritsuka asked. Da Vinci immediately pulled out binoculars from his backpack and looked in the direction the bullets were coming from.
But the next second, Shadow Border appeared, and Leonardo da Vinci, unusually serious, said, "Go! Everyone get in the car immediately!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was taken aback, but her long-standing tacit understanding made her quickly get up, ignoring the puzzled looks on Matsuda Jinpei and Conan's faces, and pull them into the car.
Closing the door, feeling the familiar speed of the car, she frowned and asked, "A few Servants, are they troublesome?"
“If nothing unexpected happens, it’s two god-level Servants,” Tristan answered for Leonardo da Vinci, who was driving. He gripped the bowstring, seemingly able to maintain an elegant and dignified posture no matter how urgent the situation.
"God?!" Conan sat up, his pupils shrinking slightly. "Including the last one, the other side has already summoned three Servants related to gods, right?"
"Are gods a high-probability existence among Servants? How come everyone has one?!" Matsuda Jinpei exclaimed speechlessly. He didn't actually believe in gods, but this experience was just too fantastical!
"No, how should I put it, BB definitely adjusted the drop rates, right?" Ritsuka, as usual, sat in the bumpy car and held the handle, her voice steady as she said, "I didn't even have this high drop rate when I was throwing Saint Quartz in the Summoning Room."
Resentment, resentment is raging, Ritsuka-neechan!
Conan looked at the dark aura surrounding Fujimaru Ritsuka's calm face, his fingers trembled, and he immediately changed the subject, "By the way, wasn't our plan yesterday to split into two groups?"
He pointed at Matsuda Jinpei, "If we keep running like this, there'll be no way for Officer Matsuda to act alone."
"If I gave you a choice," Leonardo da Vinci didn't answer Conan's question, but instead asked, "would you choose the truth or your life?"
"the truth."
The two overlapping words were deafening.
"I see, then there's no problem. If we had split up where we were just now, it would have been dark by the time Matsuda-kun reached the manor gate."
Yesterday's escape was too hasty, and we accidentally wandered deep into the forest. When we split into two groups, Da Vinci couldn't possibly drive Matsuda Jinpei to the manor; that would make him too conspicuous.
Therefore, they can only rely on the speed of the Servants themselves, but the two god-level Servants are not necessarily confident that they can hold them off completely before Ritsuka's spirit origin shadow is restored.
Therefore, the best solution is to first return to the edge of the forest closer to the manor and then split into two groups.
However, thanks to Tristan marking the trees with his magic string when he ran into the forest yesterday, Leonardo da Vinci was able to plan his route without any distractions.
Gunshots and magical attacks followed closely, but after a short while, Shadow Border swung its tail, deflecting the attacks and sending them crashing into the dense thicket, causing several giant trees to thud.
"This is it, Ritsuka, safety first! Matsuda-kun, you come with me..."
"Watch out!" Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed. But before she could use her Mystic Code skill to save him, she saw three bullets fired from the opposite side graz Matsuda Jinpei and miss their mark.
One bullet didn't even hit the tree.
But instead of calming down, she became even more nervous—it was all over, her worst fears had come true.
It's worth noting that Chaldea rarely has Servants with such incredible spear skills.
"My luck is still bad today, I missed again. I clearly aimed for the heart! That's why guns are interesting!"
A man's languid voice came from behind. But in contrast, Conan felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, as if countless layers of war and smoke were piled up.
"Was it just bad luck?" Ritsuka heard this as soon as she got out of the car, and she immediately retorted, "Admit it, even the worst luck is still better than your marksmanship!"
Someone who was hurt: How could you say something so cruel!
"Assistant sister...?" Conan stumbled, his voice filled with shock. "So you know this person too?" Who are all the people Ritsuka-nee knows?!
Miyamoto Musashi swung his sword vertically, blocking the bullets flying towards Ritsuka and the magical attack from afar, giving Ritsuka a chance to reply:
"In fact, you know this god too. Do you remember the first thing we said at the banquet?"
As a detective, Conan's memory naturally allows him to remember Ritsuka's first words, "It's Tescatlipoca... He's Tescatlipoca?!"
He kept turning his head as he ran.
The man with long blond hair walked with a leisurely and slow pace, his black leather jacket billowing in the wind, completely out of place with the tense Conan and Matsuda Jinpei.
The real person looked more like a handsome god than the abstract portrait at the banquet.
Tescatlipoca, the omnipotent god of the Aztec world. A deity who delights in instigating conflict anywhere in the world and determining its outcome.
As for Ritsuka, this is a capricious and very troublesome Servant, both in terms of personality and strength!
Upon realizing that the person in front of him recognized him, Smoke Mirror clearly wanted to say something, but a female voice interrupted him from afar, "Hey, I'm talking to you!"
"Your real name was spotted the moment we met. Is it because of your marksmanship, which is on par with Ishtar's level of causing trouble?!" A huge, ghostly blue skeleton floated over. "Don't get in the way of my cleanup operation!"
"Wow……"
Matsuda Jinpei looked up at the enormous ghost, shivering from the cold air. "Is this some kind of god? It seems quite different from the gods I've come to know."
It's no wonder he thought that way; the gods he'd heard about since childhood were all beings radiating golden light and displaying compassionate expressions. But the skeleton before him couldn't possibly be considered one of them.
"Actually, she's a very cute girl, Ellie-chan," Fujimaru Ritsuka said, looking at the skeleton.
The moment she mentioned Ishtar's name, didn't she also reveal her real name? She's still so cute.
Matsuda Jinpei rubbed his arms and abruptly turned his head, his eyes clearly saying, "You say this skeleton is cute?!" He even doubted whether Ritsuka had any problem with her taste.
