Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

In the interweaving of red and white, objects that are neither round nor square are covered with chaos between clarity and viscosity.

A grease composed of a semi-viscous liquid as red as blood and mixed with granular impurities covers the universe.

The bright red flesh was powerless to resist and was cut painfully, leaving only broken pieces of flesh, stacking up to make silent wails.

The scattered green spots, as if transplanted from another dimension, dot the prison of the abyss, making people shudder.

Weird, depraved, and abominable, it was like a carnival of the ancients, intoxicated in the sweetness of decay, so indescribable that it was difficult to evaluate.

"Strawberry Mapo Tofu, please enjoy your meal."

Boss Ba took two servings of strawberry mapo tofu from the tray, ignored Chen Yu's resentful look, and placed them on the dining table.

Looking at the strawberry mapo tofu that exuded a weird and chaotic smell, Chen Yu swallowed his saliva. He really had no urge to eat it.

"I'll start first!"

Watching Naiyali drinking the lethal amount of chili soup mouthful by mouthful with such boldness and magnanimity, Chen Yu slightly moved his plate of strawberry mapo tofu towards Naiyali.

The evil god likes to eat evil god food, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Just as Chen Yu was quietly watching Naiyali finish hers and start to taste his own strawberry mapo tofu, an unexpected yet reasonable person appeared.

A man with short brown hair, a cross on his chest, a dark blue windbreaker and dull eyes walked into the Chinese restaurant.

Kotomine Kirei?

This is the second time I've seen him in this store.

I've seen you twice, do you come to this restaurant to eat every day?

Without the cover of the confusion spell, Kotomine Kirei who walked into the store naturally saw Chen Yu and Naiyari.

"I can't believe it, Caster. There are actually Heroic Spirits eating strawberry mapo tofu. What an evil heresy!"

After seeing the food on Nayari's plate, Kotomine Kirei frowned, and his originally calm voice became a little higher in pitch.

While chewing, Naiyali muttered, "What do you care, you annoying guy."

I thought Kotomine Kirei would continue to reprimand them, but I didn't expect him to sit down across from them properly: "This should be our first formal meeting, Caster and his Master."

"No, it should be the second time."

Chen Yu corrected him, saying that since a confounding spell was used when they first met, it was normal that Kotomine Kirei had no impression of it.

"Oh? Really? It seems my understanding is still not accurate enough. Boss Ba, one serving of extra spicy mapo tofu, thank you."

Kotomine Kirei crossed his hands, placed his arms on the table, and watched Nayari eat with a scrutinizing look.

If someone stares at you with a blank and cold look without saying a word while you are eating, I'm sure no one will be in the mood to eat.

The same went for Naiyari. Under Kotomine Kirei's emotionless gaze, she actually slowly stopped eating.

He frowned slightly, as if asking whether the other party was looking for trouble and whether he wanted to fight.

"Don't worry about me, Caster. Just treat me as an ordinary guest. After all, I am no longer a Master. There is no reason for us to fight."

Perhaps seeing Naiyari's doubts, in order to dispel the other party's doubts, Kotomine Kirei stretched out the back of his hand for the other party to check.

After all three Command Seals were used up, the Command Seals on the back of his hand were like a tattoo that had been washed off, with only a few outlines left.

"Now that Assassin has been truly destroyed by you, according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, I have withdrawn from this Holy Grail War. There is no reason for us to fight now."

Unlike his previous hypocritical exit, Kotomine Kirei, who had lost all his Command Seals and Assassin, was truly ready to withdraw from the Holy Grail War.

Even if Kotomine Kirei could find new Servant to sign a contract with, he would not be able to make the Servant obey his arrangements.

It is better to withdraw decisively and protect yourself.

It was also because of this that Kotomine Kirei became idle at this time.

But doing nothing is not peace, the emptiness of the soul is the pain of the soul.

That's why Kotomine Kirei, who had nothing to do, subconsciously chose to come here, and before leaving, he used the ultimate spicy food to stimulate his empty heart.

Looking at Kotomine Kirei, whose eyes were still dull and lifeless, Chen Yu could feel the dryness in his soul even without using Legilimency.

Like a wandering person who has lost his goal, the feeling of emptiness cannot be described in words.

So... Gilgamesh hasn't taught Kotomine Kirei what pleasure is yet?

Thinking of this, Chen Yu signaled Naiyali to continue eating hers, and he turned to Kotomine Kirei and asked: "Since you have already left, can I ask you? What is your wish for participating in the Holy Grail War?"

Kotomine Kirei shook his head: "I don't have any wishes placed on the Holy Grail. It's ridiculous, it's said that those who participate in the Holy Grail War are chosen by the Holy Grail, but even though Assassin has already left, I still don't know why I was chosen by the Holy Grail..."

However, as he was speaking, Kotomine Kirei paused, and a figure similar to him flashed through his mind.

Seeing Kotomine Kirei pause, Chen Yu keenly realized that there must be something hidden.

I continued to ask: "If you really don't have any wishes, then you wouldn't look so lost."

"Is it so obvious..."

Kotomine Kirei subconsciously stroked his face, feeling a little melancholy when he thought that he no longer had the qualifications to fight the opponent.

"I just care a little about one person..."

"Who?"

"Emiya Kiritsugu!"

"why?"

"Because I feel that he is a man similar to me, and I am very curious about why he wants to participate in the Holy Grail War... I originally thought that I could fight him in this battle, but I didn't expect him to leave so hastily... Well, Boss Ba, just leave it here, thank you."

The mapo tofu brought by Boss Ba interrupted Kotomine Kirei's words. Compared to talking about the unbeatable Emiya Kiritsugu, the plate of mapo tofu in front of him gave him a greater sense of "pleasure".

Looking at Kotomine Kirei who couldn't wait to taste the new mapo tofu, Chen Yu had a mischievous idea in his mind.

“You know what, Father Kirei, I actually know what Emiya Kiritsugu’s wish is…”

Looking at Kotomine Kirei, who was still eating voraciously but his movements had slowed down, Chen Yu's lips curled up into a smile.

"Mr. Emiya, he wants to be a ally of justice, to save the world, and to create a happy world where people don't fight with each other."

"What!!! Cough... cough... cough... cough! Water, water, water!"

The protagonist who dropped bombs in public, shot down planes with many passengers, and committed many indiscriminate terrorist incidents, you tell me that his wish is to become a partner of justice and save the world?

What kind of justice partner is this? Is this from the terrorist world?

Even Kotomine Kirei, who was empty inside and had no idea what beauty was, was choked by Chen Yu's remarks.

Moreover, we want to create a happy world where there is no conflict between people. This is simply a fantasy.

If it was just happiness and harmony between individuals, neighbors, and communities, Kotomine Kirei could still imagine it.

But once the scope is expanded, between cities, regions, and countries...

People of different races, religions, and languages ​​live on this earth without conflict...

How is this possible? It's just wishful thinking!

After all, humans are creatures that can learn, grow, and compete.

Unless the whole world is broken, such an outrageous wish is simply unrealistic!

That kind of person...would make such an unrealistic wish?

Kotomine Kirei coughed and coughed, and then fell silent.

What a boring wish.

Uninteresting wishes.
