Tribute to the Demon King

But at this moment, Rider's thick but gentle hand rested lightly on Waver's hair.

"Cheer up, boy. In any case, that guy is not an enemy that you will spend your whole life defeating."

Rider squatted on the ground, lowered his head calmly and looked at Weber slightly: "You still remember what you said to me before."

Weber's pupils shrank slightly.

……I remembered.After his battle with Berserker at the intrinsic barrier, Waver stopped Rider who wanted to go out with Berserker, and said to him——

"I want to be great, Rider. Help me! I want to get the Holy Grail and let everyone recognize my talent!"

"If you have such a wish, it doesn't matter if you don't have the Holy Grail." Rider frowned and responded in confusion at the time. "Why do you want to be recognized by others and get the Holy Grail?"

"Boy, I know no matter how I explain it to you, in the end you'll feel small. But even knowing that, you still insist on moving towards a higher goal."

Rider looked up at the night sky and said calmly: "If you really want to pursue a life full of glory and dreams, then fight with me."

——This is just nonsense.Waver's rationality judged so.

However, his heart was beating excitedly.

Looking up at the tall Rider, the vague sound of the waves came to Wei Bo's ears again.

"...Then, take me to battle, Rider."

Under the almost blind impulse, Weber said in a desperate tone: "Let's fight with them while we are in good shape."

"Okay. Let's make a big deal."

Hearing this, Rider showed a sincere smile.

More than half of the Holy Grail War has passed, it's time to make a big vote (positive color)

Chapter 63 Obviously I Was the First

Emiya Kiritsugu was nearby.

The confrontation with Emiya Kiritsugu that Kirei had been looking forward to for a long time was about to come true at this time today.

Although the android in Einzbern stubbornly refused to summon Kiritsugu, fortunately, Kiritsugu's assistant knew the significance of the existence of the "Holy Grail Vessel", and contacted Kiritsugu with an expression of unwillingness.

If he wanted to save her and obtain the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu had to come to Fuyuki Church.

Kirei cast his gaze to a dark corner of the basement.The doll of Einzbern kidnapped from the forest lying on its back and bound by the magic circle.Kirei used a simple magic circle to let the surrounding magic power flow into her, not to mention whether this kind of supply was comfortable for her, as long as it could last her life, it was enough.

"Woman, can you hear me?"

"Kotomine Kirei..."

Whispering the enemy's name in a low voice, Irisviel's words were full of hatred: "You will never win against him...my husband will definitely destroy you."

"...What is this ridiculous trust? What gave you such confidence? Is it Archer who was chased by that violating heroic spirit and dare not even turn his head?"

Kirei couldn't help laughing.

However, Kirei's answer was just a burst of ridicule: "You really don't understand anything. You don't understand Kiritsugu at all, the future he pursues, the giri he believes in, the belief he implements at the cost of his life, these things You have neither."

"...Wait, what did you say?"

Kirei almost trembled.

He couldn't make himself believe what Irisviel just said.

"You mean—that man Emiya Kiritsugu is after something? Could it be that guy has some kind of wish entrusted to the Holy Grail?"

"—Exactly."

Eri was restrained, looked at Kirei with the ridicule and pity of a victor, and replied forcefully in a weak voice: "I'll tell you, Kiritsugu's long-cherished wish is the salvation of mankind. He hopes to cut off all War and bloodshed for eternal world peace."

"……what?"

Kirei stared at Irisviel blankly, and after a few seconds he couldn't help laughing and said, "What kind of joke are you talking about, do you really understand Emiya Kiritsugu?"

"I am his wife. I gave birth to him. I have been with him day and night for nine years, watching him and comforting him. It is different from you who have never seen him once."

"...If what you said is true, then you are like a real couple. But to Kiritsugu, you should be just a wish machine. He has no reason to give you love."

Kirei was silent for a while, and firmly retorted in a somewhat hoarse low voice: "On the other hand, if he really loves you as a wife... then what is he pursuing? For such a meaningless ideal Just sacrificing someone you love? What are you kidding?"

Irisviel was just calm, looking up at Kirei with condescending eyes: "Not so much... do you really know what love is and what ideal is?"

——It pierced into the heart fiercely like a sharp knife, an incomparably fatal blow.

Kirei stood silently like a stone statue, staring at Irisviel with gloomy eyes like an abyss.

... This woman doesn't understand anything, there is no need to continue talking with her.

The self-protection mechanism was activated, and Kotomine Kirei left the basement silently with his head down.It was like escaping from hell.

After leaving the basement, Kirei walked through the long curtain to the front hall of the church.

But when he came to the chapel, he found a person who should never be here——
