Chapter 177: Unexpected Visitor from Beyond?

Even though the atmosphere seemed normal to the naked eye... Well, okay, it didn't visibly decline, but things felt off after Merlin appeared.

Kiritsugu glanced at Merlin with a low tone, saying, "So, you've come."

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I still came."

After saying this, Merlin closed his eyes, wearing a smile on his face as he looked at Emiya Kiritsugu lying on the hospital bed. His smile was genuinely warm, giving off a feeling of an amiable older brother.

It's a nice smile, but unfortunately, it's on the face of this obnoxious guy, which suddenly gives it a different vibe. Hmm... In simple terms, it's that kind of smile that comes with mockery.

*Snap*. Merlin casually snapped his fingers, and a bunch of pink flowers appeared in his hand. He placed the flowers directly on the bedside table, next to the fruit basket.

Kiritsugu looked at the bouquet, fell into silence, he understood the implication, but why would this guy bring flowers when visiting a man? And not just any flowers, but such pink ones?

"Kiritsugu, we're about to head to the 'EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise.'" Seeing that the atmosphere wasn't right, Alice immediately switched to business mode and started discussing their plans.

"I know. I've already sent Waver to investigate," Kiritsugu responded softly, intending to turn his head and face her properly.

However, as soon as he attempted to move his neck, an unbearable pain shot through, causing him to stop.

Kiritsugu was now regretting. If he had known, he would have left that sheath in the storage warehouse. Even if he summoned a Servant based on compatibility, it would probably be much better than this slacker Merlin.

He had nothing good to say about his Servant. All he could do was accept his fate.

Kiritsugu glanced at the clock in the hospital room and saw that it was about time. He then said to Irisviel, "Irisviel, you should leave soon."

"Then... we'll depart now, Kiritsugu."

Upon hearing this, Iris stood up and bid farewell to Kiritsugu, preparing to depart for the so-called 'EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise.' The name of this seaside amusement park was somewhat cringe-worthy, and Iris couldn't help but feel curious about the person who came up with such a tacky name.

However, just as Iris was about to set off, Merlin seemed to be lost in thought and gazed at the sky outside the window. "Merlin?" Iris reached the doorway and noticed that Merlin was not moving, so she reminded him.

"Huh? Oh, yes, let's go," Merlin replied. He stopped looking at the sky and followed Iris on their journey.

In the calmness of space, a spatial ripple suddenly appeared, resembling the opening of a wormhole. Two rod-shaped objects, one red and one blue, emerged from it. Almost instantly, the wormhole-like phenomenon vanished as if it had never existed.

The two rod-shaped objects swiftly flew towards Earth at a speed surpassing the third cosmic velocity. Their high-speed trajectory made them appear like space-based weapons. However, as they approached Earth, both objects began to decelerate.

Despite their similar trajectory in the first half of the flight, their final destinations differed significantly. The blue rod-shaped object headed towards the eastern hemisphere, specifically Japan's Fuyuki City, neighboring a city named Zenchou. On the other hand, the red rod-shaped object headed towards the western hemisphere, targeting Germany.

Upon separation, the red object, destined for Germany, arrived at its destination faster due to its shorter distance. Its final destination was a castle situated in a snowy expanse within Germany.
