The night rain was drenching the noisy Tokyo. On an empty building site, on the third floor of a building under construction, Tetsuya Murakawa could see the spectacle of lights distorted by individual drops of water. He lit a cigarette and wiped the blood from his face, before him, on the floor, there was the corpse of a man who, just ten minutes ago, was about to kill him, his name was Kazuya Togasaki and he was a friend of his. Tetsuya had shot him in the head after having beaten him up and now he was calm, sitting on a pair of beams, smoking the cigarette.
He heard the sound of police sirens, got up and with his hands in his pockets went down the stairs to the ground floor where he met the policemen who ordered him to raise his hands but he, ignoring the orders, advanced with his hands in his pockets and the expression of a sadistic killer. The first shot started, Tetsuya was so quick to avoid the bullet and with one fist he broke the first policeman's chin. The other three began to fire but Tetsuya used one of them as a human shield. He killed two policemen by piercing their bodies with his bare hands, the last man standing trembling with fear shouted:
« Monster! »
« You're not the first one to call me a monster, you know? »
« Stay away from me! »
« You're not very polite, dickhead. »
Tetsuya took that cop, took his cigarette out of his mouth and put it out on his forehead and then, with a terrifying force, threw him at a protruding beam, impaling the policeman. Tetsuya was a magus who should have died that day.
January 10, 2021
Tetsuya had returned to his apartment, wiped himself from the blood and took a hot shower. He opened a suitcase containing several false documents, he planned to travel to China under the name Sheng Zhen. He cut his beard, and prepared both contact lenses and a wig to wear. He had to hide from the other T6 members who were looking for him.
He heard a knock at the door and shouted:
« Fuck you! Go the fuck away! »
A girl's voice said:
« Murakawa Tetsuya, I have something for you. »
« Can't you hear me ?! I said GO THE FUCK AWAY! »
« Don't you want to see what I have to offer you?" »
« Listen, honey, when I'll need a whore to suck my dick I'll let you know! But today is not the right day! Go away, bitch, or you'll get hurt! »
« All right, but know that I'll find you anyway, Sheng Zhen. »
How did that girl know the false name he would use? Who was beyond that door? Tetsuya was not the type that was easily frightened and so he became furious, opened the door and saw Yukiko Kumahira who smiled mischievously. He didn't know her but the black gothic dress didn't enchant him. He took the girl by the hair and pulled her inside the apartment, locked the door and prepared to hurt her but she didn't seem to be intimidated by him, in fact, she sat on the bed, crossing her legs, and quipped:
« Know that I'm still a virgin, don't go so strong with me. »
« You're a whore who likes to play, I see. »
« And you're not really my type, especially with that little thing you have between your legs. »
« Ah! You like making jokes! Well, if you love so much to hear the sound of your voice, how about using that mouth to tell me what I want to know. »
« All right. What do you want? »
« How did you know about that name? Do you work for T6? »
« I'm the one who has the key to paradise, your paradise. »
« What did you smoke? »
« Ah, ah! I like you, Tetsuya. You really deserve a chance. »
Yukiko threw a spearhead at Tetsuya's feet and said:
« That's a relic. Use it to summon the Servant and fight the Holy Grail War of Yggdrasil in London, just so you can fulfill your wish. »
« What do you know about my desire? »
« I know enough. But ask yourself this question: do you know what you want? If you know it then you will know that it's right to fight to get what you want. Every dream deserves to be realized. »
The girl headed for the exit, turned the key and opened the door.
« Who the hell are you? » Tetsuya asked, puzzled.
« Yukiko. Kumahira Yukiko. »
« Are you a magus too? »
« I'm an imitation. Just an imitation. »
Yukiko left leaving the man with that spear fragment.
