Tribute to the Demon King

"A little, a little scared..."

Holding the black tea that had already cooled down, Irisviel whispered softly, clasping fingers as long and icy as white jade, but she couldn't feel the black tea in her palm had become cold at all.

Suddenly, her body froze slightly, her eyes widened in surprise.

The barrier is triggered.

Without hesitation, Irisviel immediately used the magic of clairvoyance to examine the image of the intruder.

"...Kotomine Kirei?"

Wearing a dark cassock, a tall young priest full of coercion.The crisp short hair and the serious appearance like a sculpture are exactly the same as the photos in Kiritsugu's collection of materials.

Currently there is only one Servant who has entered the Holy Grail.As one of the seven Masters, it was impossible for him to come alone without knowing that Archer and Kiritsugu had left here.

In other words...his Servant might also follow him in a spirit form.

It is absolutely impossible to compete with them by yourself alone.

But when Irisviel was terrified about her future fate, another thing in her mind became clearer.

Only that man, he must not be allowed to go to Kiritsugu——

Kotomine Kirei, the man who threatened Kiritsugu the most.

Irisviel gradually clenched her hands holding the teacup, and her eyes became determined.

"I'm going to... stop him."

——For Kiritsugu, stop Kotomine Kirei even if he risked his life.

Irisviel, with such awareness.

After seeing off the repair team sent by Father Kotomine Risei, Tohsaka Tokiomi rubbed his eyes tiredly, and was finally free to sit down.

"That guy Kariya..."

Tokiomi pressed hard on his aching temple, murmured a certain person's name, and frowned in disgust.

That demonic scum with no glory at all, although he didn't cause any substantial harm to himself, he caused great trouble.

The exterior walls of the villa were scorched black by the flames of Berserker, and the ceiling was almost burnt through and collapsed.If the wood in his house hadn't been specially treated for fire prevention, the entire Yuansaka prefecture would have been burned to the ground by now.

In addition, none of the columns in the courtyard of Yuansaka Mansion survived, and all of them were crashed.The hall on the first floor was completely destroyed, and the rooms of the four servants and Tokiomi Tohsaka's study were all trampled to pieces by the cavalry.The balcony where he was standing before has been completely reduced to rubble, and the whole villa is like a cream cake that has been transported by violent logistics.

Speaking of which, the people of the Holy Church Church are really good at handling such accidents.

Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn't help but sigh with emotion at their work efficiency - counting from three o'clock in the morning, it took only ten hours to basically repair Tohsaka Mansion.

Thanks to the help of Father Yukomine Risei, otherwise, he would probably still be in chaos now, and his injuries would not be healed.

"Basically, the loss statistics have been completed. All the gemstones are intact, and the truly precious materials and books have not been burned."

Tosaka Tokiomi breathed a deep sigh of relief, and closed the notebook in his hand: "As for the repair fee, it only cost less than 100 million... Is it really a friendship price?"

This is not a huge expense for him... Or rather, Tokiomi is already used to it.

The gems used to practice gem magic cost at least one hundred thousand yen or more.For example, the high-quality gemstones he used in the previous battle with Berserker cost more than 50 yen each.I am used to the days when such high-priced gemstones turn to ashes as soon as they are used, and repairing the villa is actually a small fortune.

Relaxing, Tokiomi took out two glasses and a bottle of red wine from the closet, opened them and poured them into the glasses.

The crimson wine is accompanied by a fragrant and mellow fruit aroma.Tokiomi took a sip of one of the glasses gracefully, and handed the other to Lancer who had transformed into a spiritual body.

"Relax, Lancer."

"Thanks, Master."

Karna emerged from his spiritual body, took the liquor in Tokiomi's hand, and nodded gratefully to him.

Tokiomi just smiled slightly, and took another sip of the wine in his glass.

"Speaking of which, do you have any wish for the Holy Grail, Lancer?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi asked Lancer a question.

The Heroic Spirit with hair as transparent and white as jade, and almost as tall as Tokiomi Tohsaka just shook his head: "I'm not interested in the Holy Grail, but if you want it, that's another matter."

"Is that so?"

Tokiomi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Don't you have anything you particularly like?"

Even if he was a "hero of charity", Tokiomi couldn't understand how wanting nothing to such an extent.

"There are things I like, of course."

Lancer's next words left Tokiomi speechless: "Friendship, hard work, reconciliation...these are all very beautiful, don't you think so?"

"...True. These are very beautiful things indeed."

Tokiomi also had to nod in recognition of Lancer's words, shaking his head and sighing, "You are indeed a selfless and selfless hero. I can summon you here, and the victory of this Holy Grail War is already in my hands."

Such a noble and generous hero.It is thanks to the holy relic found by Father Kotomine Risei that he can be summoned.

For a moment, Tokiomi's gratitude to Kotomine's family grew a little deeper.

Such kindness cannot be repaid.The only thing I can do is teach Father Risei's only son well, and give him all the magic that can be taught.
