Takei Ayanokoji's Tool Man Guide

Episode04 has bad news

Fuyuki City has been regarded as the site of the Holy Grail War many times.

As the host, the Tosaka family first had the advantage in terms of location. For example, the residence of the Tosaka family was on the spiritual vein of Fuyuki City.In addition, Patriarch Tohsaka has the support of Fuyuki Church, and at the same time summons the highest level of servants.Like Matou, who has the strongest Berserker in the field, and the Einzbern family, who has the swordsman class Saber, the head of the Tohsaka family is also a popular candidate for the winner of the Holy Grail War.

But this master also has a headache - the servant is a free and arrogant heroic spirit, who will go out for a walk from time to time, and recently has his eyes on the ordinary people at Matou's house, always looking for him from time to time.If it weren't for the people from Matou, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for Archer to come into contact with him so frequently.After all, it is not suitable for followers to intervene too much in the lives of ordinary people.

Tohsaka is actually quite critical of Archer's current casual attitude.

Obviously, the Holy Grail War officially started after the Caster team ended, and Lancer's master Kenneth was also shot dead by the Einzbern family shortly after the sea monster incident attracted by Caster.And Lancer was missing.Originally, I thought that Lancer did not have self-sufficient magic power like Caster, and would disappear if he lost the source of magic power.As a result, within a few days, Tohsaka Tokiomi saw Lancer standing beside Matou Kariya, indicating that Matou now has two followers.

Is Archer too confident to take this situation seriously?

But as the Master, Tohsaka is not calm.

Tohsaka had just seen his wife and daughter for the last time from a neighboring town.

With less than two days until the end of the Holy Grail War, he always had to finish what he wanted to say.After all, even if it was him, he wouldn't think that he would get out so easily.In the Holy Grail War, sometimes the servant is too powerful, but the master is more dangerous.Because the opponent cannot deal with the servants, they will focus more on eradicating their masters, so that the servants who have lost their magic power supply will also disappear.Tohsaka is in this situation now.He couldn't count on Archer to protect him at all.

Although Tohsaka felt that dying in the Holy Grail War was like a shroud of horse leather on the battlefield, but if he didn't understand clearly, or was disabled by the magic circuit like Lancer's master, he could only rely on a wheelchair. Such an ending is actually terrible.

Archer was destined to laugh at his death-defying thoughts from the very beginning.

It has to be said that the compatibility of the two of them is indeed not compatible. Archer thinks that he is too rigid, and he also thinks that Archer is too loose and willful.

Only recently, not too recently, during the two days when Archer paid attention to Ayanokouji, Tohsaka discovered that - Archer would occasionally listen to his own words, and he wouldn't be talking about his thoughts, opinions and feelings all at once.Of course, it was only once or twice, but it was already like the sun rising from the west, and Tohsaka was filled with an incredible and unreal feeling.

Tohsaka has reason to believe that this is due to the effect of getting along with Archer and Ayanokouji.

Because one day Archer went back to Tohsaka's house angrily, and then he happened to meet him, and Archer suddenly discussed with himself what his ambitions as a magician were.

It was this incident that left a deep impression on him, and Tohsaka wanted to find a chance to chat with that boy, a young man whom Archer commented was "good at talking and full of ideas that don't know what to say".It's just a whim, I don't have an idea, and I don't have time now, so I just think about it.

However, when returning to Fuyuki City, Tohsaka happened to pass by Fuyuki Church.He thought of the old priest Yanfeng who had passed away, and felt very grateful, so he parked the car beside the church.Just as he was about to enter the door, he happened to pass by that Ayanokōji.

When Tohsaka saw him before, he would think that Ayanokōji was a quiet and restrained person.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a day or two, and his sense of existence has dropped a lot. When people walked by, Tohsaka didn't even feel anything special, just like the wind blowing from the face, he only felt that there was something special. The wind, but will not deliberately seek to emphasize the existence of the wind.

After rubbing shoulders with Ayanokōji and walking two or three steps, Tohsaka remembered that he should call him.

He didn't know the other party's full name, he only knew that the surname was Ayanokōji.

"Ayanokouji-kun."

Ayanokouji who turned around after hearing the shout looked a little gloomy, and it couldn't be said that his mood had become depressed.Tohsaka Tokiomi just felt that Ayanokoji was like a dark river flowing at night, it was difficult to know its depth, and he could only hear the murmur of the river full of vitality.And unless there is light shining on him, he has merged with the night and cannot see its shadow.

"Mr. Tohsaka, hello."

Ayanokouji looked straight into Tohsaka Tokiomi's eyes without looking sideways.

He was supposed to be from Matou's side, so when he met him, he should have a flustered, vigilant or puzzled expression, but Ayanokōji was as indifferent and peaceful as a passer-by who came to ask him, very similar to him in black sacrificial clothes. Fits, just without the neck cross.

"Are you here to mourn old priest Yanfeng?"

Ayanokouji asked.

"Well, Father Lizheng treated me like my own father. I still can't forget his death. I heard that you were the last person to send him off?"

"Because Mr. Kotomine Kirei could not be contacted, the police contacted me."

Ayanokōji's voice was quite cold, it wasn't because of his emotions, nor his attitude, but it was just his personality.His character is unpredictable and alienated.

"In a few days, it will be the day when the old priest Kotomine will be buried. Mister Tohsaka will also participate."

"I believe you are also very sad."

Tohsaka felt that he had found the reason for Ayanokouji's gloominess.

However, Ayanokouji did not speak.

Tohsaka felt the same for a moment, so he said, "Do you know how to smoke? Come and smoke a cigarette."

Smoking and drinking both have the effect of "numbing the mind", but drinking can easily make people lose control of their minds. Now it is the countdown to the Holy Grail War. Smoking is still ok.

It's just for the dead people who are in my heart.

It's okay to smoke a cigarette for him.

Tohsaka thought that Ayanokouji was dull, so he shouldn't be able to smoke, maybe he would smoke a little, but he was still very jerky.But Ayanokouji held the cigarette with his index finger and middle finger very skillfully. After lighting the fire, Ayanokouji took a puff. He didn't have the habit of swallowing cigarettes. He only held it for three or four seconds before spitting it out.His expression was as indifferent as smoke, and as cold as winter snow hanging on dead branches.

Smoking also shows character. The way Ayanokōji holds cigarettes belongs to the kind of person who will be particular about his personality, will be very sensitive to some things, and will also be neurotic.

"It was Lancer's master Kenneth who killed the old priest Kotomine."

Ayanokouji said.

Tohsaka was not surprised, or quite surprised, but not unimaginable.

Maybe someone from the Matou family told him the news.

For ordinary people, this may be a bit cruel.

"In the world of magic, these things are very common. Teachers and students will also become enemies overnight because of conflicts of interest. To give the most obvious example, Lancer's master Kenneth is the teacher of Rider's master Webber, and In order to join the Holy Grail War, Weber stole the holy relic that Kenneth summoned the heroic spirit. Matou and my wife were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. Isn't it because the Holy Grail is on the opposite side of me now?

To be a magician is to have this awareness.

Maybe, I will die tomorrow, and Ma Tong will die the day after tomorrow, these are all normal things. "

Ayanokōji looked at Tohsaka with dark golden pupils, and then looked away again.

"Then do you think you have any hope of surviving this Holy Grail War?"

Tohsaka laughed: "I've heard a lot about who wins and who loses, but I don't hear people asking me if I can survive. From the very beginning, I have the idea that "the Holy Grail is bound to be won", and my goal is only one—— —That is "reaching the root", no matter how great the sacrifice, this is my mission. "

After finishing those words, Ayanokouji sighed slightly.

"I have some bad news for you, do you want to hear it?"

"...?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi fell into doubt.

"It may be the truth, or it may be a lie. But just listen, it won't do you any harm." Ayanokōji's voice was cold. "Mr. Yanfeng told Archer about your final purpose."

These words made Tohsaka's expression change slightly.

The reason why the Holy Grail War can attract heroic spirits to fight for the Master is that the winner can share the benefits of the Holy Grail, a wishing machine, but in fact, the Yusanjia who initiated the Holy Grail War know that this is just a cover.

To truly reach the "root", instead of sacrificing six heroic spirits and making a wish after the Great Holy Grail appears, seven heroic spirits need to be sacrificed.

The arrogant Archer will never allow Tohsaka to design him like this.

But if this made Archer want to kill the master, then Archer would also disappear.The legendary King of Heroes is not the kind of simple-minded heroic spirit who does such things impulsively.On the contrary, he should find a way to make Tohsaka use up all the last Command Seals by himself.In this way, even if Tohsaka gets the Holy Grail in the end, Archer cannot be forced to commit suicide.

So, what Tohsaka cared more about was—why did Kotomine Kirei tell Archer about this?Kotomine Kirei is his good student, why did he tell Archer this thing that would obviously harm Tohsaka?But what's the use of Ayanokōji's words of sowing discord?Because Assassin was really dealt with by Rider yesterday, Master Kotomine Kirei really ended the journey of the Holy Grail War.

In order to cooperate with the Einzbern family, Tohsaka also agreed to let Kotomine Kirei, who had had a fierce battle with them, go back to the border of the northern country instead of staying in Fuyuki City.There was no need for Kotomine Kirei to harm Tohsaka, everything was over.

After Tohsaka thought it through, he felt more and more that Ayanokouji was actually trying to sow discord.

"Do you have any feud with Arhcer?"

"No."

"Then do you have any enmity with Kirei?"

"Not at all."

"Then why are you saying these things to me?"

Ayanokōji Kiyotoshi's eyebrows and eyes did not change in any way because of Tohsaka's questioning.

"Because we are all remembering the dead at this moment."
