Chapter 44: The True Identities of Bai Song and Tom!
Looking at the intact structure of the Tohsaka mansion in front of him, Bai Song couldn't help but get closer. When he was scouting around yesterday, he kept his distance, so he didn't get a close look at the details. Now he realized that the Matou Family seemed to have been bombed or something like that.
However... judging by appearances, it shouldn't have happened in the past few days. After all, there is grass growing on the ruins. It would take more than a few days for it to look like this. It must have been some time ago.
"Excuse me, what happened here?" Just then, someone passing by with breakfast caught Bai Song's attention. Judging by the looks of it, this person should be a local, so Bai Song quickly caught up and tried to inquire about what had happened here.
In the meantime, Jerry promptly burrowed into Bai Song's clothes from the collar. This was what Bai Song had instructed earlierto hide when someone gets too close. Jerry, thinking it had figured out the reason, decisively hid itself. After all, a rat crossing the street would be met with disdain.
In reality, there shouldn't be a problem carrying a pet rat, but it would obviously attract attention. It was necessary to avoid such situations. They had just experienced a disastrous chase by the police, so it was crucial to minimize the risk of being discovered!
"Are you a traveler?" The person with breakfast looked Bai Song up and down, feeling a strange familiarity but didn't dwell on it, casually asking.
Bai Song nodded and vaguely evaded, "Sort of."
"As for this old house, there was a gas explosion about a year ago, and it was even on TV. Moreover, an old man who lived alone in this house was killed in the explosion," the breakfast man recalled and continued, "I was at home playing games at that time, and there were several explosions. It was really terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Bai Song's mouth almost curled up in a smile. But realizing that it might seem out of place to someone unaware of the situation, he forcibly suppressed the amusement and said, "I see, thank you for your help."
"No problem." After saying that, the breakfast man left.
However... just a few steps away, the breakfast man turned back and looked at Bai Song again, finally realizing what was wrong.
"Strange, this outfit... I think I have the same one?"
"Fortunately, I didn't wear it out, or we would have ended up twinning," the breakfast man muttered to himself. He leisurely continued on his way home, carrying his breakfast.
"Well, luckily they didn't notice," Bai Song slapped his forehead with his left hand, realizing that he had gone a bit too far. He had asked someone a question and ended up stealing their breakfast. It was a bit of a tit-for-tat situation, to say the least.
Jerry really didn't care about human affairs, huh... Oh, right, it wasn't originally a human, was it?
Bai Song glanced back, confirming that the breakfast man hadn't noticed that his breakfast had been snatched by Jerry. Without delay, Bai Song quickly walked away from the scene.
At this moment, the conversation between Kiritsugu and Fujimaru Ritsuka was coming to an end.
"Is there really such a Servant?" Gudako looked at the footage of Tom's battle on Kiritsugu's phone and casually asked Mashu, "Mashu, what kind of Servant is this?"
"Well... no, senpai, how do you have knowledge about this cat-like Servant that I know?" Mashu's face was full of question marks as she listened to Gudako's earnest inquiry.
Gudako looked at Mashu with a sense of certainty and said, "You're the one who can recite history books and biographies of famous people flawlessly. This peculiar cat, I'm sure you can make an association and figure out who it is, right?"
"While that's true, it doesn't work that way in reality, senpai!" Although Mashu wanted to sarcastically comment, she managed to hold back.
Servants are illogical. For example, a British tribal leader, a Roman emperor, a French heroine, and a samurai from Japan's Bakumatsu period. Can you tell them apart just by their appearances? They all look exactly the same.
"Well... it's troublesome~ The only thing I know about cats is Schrdinger's cat," Gudako replied, holding her head with both hands, acting all lazy.
"It actually seems possible!" Mashu's eyes lit up upon hearing Gudako's words, as if she had already seen the truth.
Kiritsugu, who was showing them the video on his phone, heard this and felt that there might be some truth to it. Although his face showed no expression, deep down he firmly registered this possibility.
Gudako looked at the unidentified Bai Song who had been hiding in the background in the video and pointed at him with her finger, saying offhandedly, "So, this guy is Schrdinger, huh?"
