Chapter 11: Hostile Truces, Peaceful Conflicts

Fuyuki Church

Risei Kotomine cleared his throat. He was being watched by his co-conspirator, his son, and most importantly the Wizard Marshall of the Clock Tower. He began the announcement, as his son nodded at him, signaling the presence of the familiars.

Risei: Once again, I announce all the Masters in the Holy Grail War. By my power as the overseer, I am declaring a complete armistice between Masters, including Caster and Foreigner. In addition, a reunion between each Master shall be hosted at this church at nightfall.

He looked to the side. Zelretch simply nodded at him.

Risei: Due to a sudden development, a representative of the Mages' Association has arrived with urgent matters. Tonight's meeting shall be supervised by-

Zelretch: Now, now. If you word it like that, no one will actually believe you, Mr. Kotomine. Here, allow me.

He stepped forward with an air of calmness. Risei simply nodded and stepped back, allowing Zelretch to take his place. He cleared his throat and spoke out loud with a jovial tone.

Zelretch: Greetings and salutations, Masters and/or Servants! Yes, it is I, your friendly Magician Zelretch. Since no sane person wouldn't be skeptical about this sudden development, I've decided to address you myself... Assuming each Master is sane in the first place, but one can hope, am I right?

He coughed. In what seemed like an instant, the mood turned serious as the Magician focused on the matter.

Zelretch: As you heard, there will be a complete ceasefire in this war until further notice. Why, you ask? All will be revealed at the meeting held at nightfall. Each Master may bring a Servant for security matters, but there will be no internal conflicts from now on. This situation is very much life-or-death for all of us, and if we do not take matters immediately, the consequences will be cataclysmic. Be ready, and please, do try to behave when you get here. Announcement concluded.

He nodded to himself after sensing the familiars leaving. Tokiomi and Kirei stepped out of their spots and reunited with them at the center.

Zelretch: I apologize for hijacking your precious war, Risei, but what's coming is much more important.

Risei: If I may be so bold to ask, what exactly is coming?

Zelretch: Have you heard of aliens? 

Risei: ...No. Why?

Zelretch: Hmm. Tokiomi?

Tokiomi: It is my first time hearing that as well.

Zelretch eyed Risei's son with a questioning look. Kirei stoically shook his head in the negative, making Zelretch sigh.

Zelretch: Oh, boy. We have a lot to work on here.

Fuyuki City, Street

Waver Velvet couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Waver: T-T-The Wizard Marshall?! He's here?! In Fuyuki?! 

Even so, a sense of dread filled Waver. If the legendary Second Magician, who was known to be rather secretive, was indeed here in person, what was going on?

Waver: W-What if he knows that I stole that relic from Lord El-Melloi?! I'll probably die if he says something about it!

Well, that was a bit too farfetched, he reasoned with himself. The Wizard Marshall wouldn't be here with such a small goal in mind. No, if Zelretch was here, then it had to be very serious.
