[FATE] I'm Ginger

The spiritual magic talisman on Tohsaka Rin's body is very short-lived. I almost left the gate of Einzbern Castle, and immediately released Vimana and left.

After boarding the boat, I lifted my spirit body, and I looked down.The child has already fallen asleep, and it seems that the spirit body has not brought any sequelae, which is fine.I have to get the baby home quickly.

send home……

I am silent.

Send it back to Tohsaka's house?

To Tohsaka Tokiomi?

...Um, the one I hid for a whole day, Tokiomi Tohsaka?

...QAQ help, please help outside the venue!

— 91:40:34

The whole Fuyuki City is actually not very big, and the Heroic Spirit doesn't need to sleep and rest. The few days he was summoned are enough for me to walk around the whole city.

The result of playing all over the city is that I spent a long time outside the dough until it was bright, and I didn't think about where to go to pass the time.So in the end, I had no choice but to run to the church in despair to torment Kotomine Kirei.

When Kotomine Kirei opened the door and came in, and saw me lying on the sofa, his expression went blank for a moment.I raised my glass triumphantly, and immediately put the embarrassment of having nowhere to go to the back of my mind.

Helpless, Kirei could only find something to say, with a troubled look in his unfocused eyes, "...It seems that you are in a pretty good mood today, Archer. Well, the teacher asked me to thank you on his behalf, saying' Thank you for bringing Rin to Naeko' like this."

I froze for a moment.Because I was embarrassed to see my Master, I had to search Fuyuki and hand over the little girl to Chancheng... No, things like Aoi Tohsaka are black history!A dark history that should be thrown into the dustbin of memories! ! !

I resolutely ignored Kirei's last sentence, and only answered the first sentence, "Although I haven't seen the appearance of the Holy Grail—even if the Holy Grail is a worthless thing, I don't care about it. So I found something other than Something more interesting than that."

"Oh .

"This has not changed. However, I am interested in watching the final outcome of this Holy Grail War."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of the King of Conquerors.That is an enemy that makes people want to smile as long as they think about it.The King of Conquerors who spends his entire life pursuing the "Endless Sea" makes me happier than Saber, who spends his entire life driving out enemies and defending the country—much happier.

"I am a person who likes arrogant opponents. Humble and ambitious people who are not limited by their own abilities. Whenever I meet such an opponent, I will be very happy."

"Is it sick that the arrogant King of Heroes likes the arrogant opponent?" written on Kirei's face, the implication was so obvious that it made people want to laugh.I leisurely shook the glass of red wine and continued.

"However, there are two types of arrogance. One is that the ability is too low, and the other is that the ambition is extremely lofty. The former seems very stupid, and the latter is a rare and precious type."

That's right, the latter is exactly the same as my best friend Enkidu...

"Anyway, it's just stupid, right?"

"Compared with ordinary sages, isn't this kind of rare stupidity even more valuable? Although he was born as a human, he has an ideal that cannot be achieved with human strength, so in order to realize this ideal, he has to abandon his identity as a human. ——No matter how many times I see it, I can never get tired of it, the sadness and despair of this kind of person.”

I raised the wine glass with the mood of paying homage to my friend, and then gracefully drank the red wine inside.

"Kirei, having said that, you are in a rare mood today."

"Just peace of mind. I'm finally free from the heavy burden."

The Command Seal originally engraved on Kirei's right hand has disappeared.During the battle at Einsbern City last night, all of his Servant Assassins were wiped out.Kirei has completely lost his authority as a Master.Although it seems that nothing has changed, but as he himself said, now he is truly freed from the responsibilities and obligations of being a Master.Kirei, who is currently living in the church, is finally considered justified.

To be honest, I am somewhat curious about Command Seals.As far as I know, after the Heroic Spirit disappears, the unused Command Seals on the back of the Master's hand will also disappear.But if this is the case, where did the command spell on Yanfeng Rizheng's arm come from?

"Where is the disappearing Command Spell now? After all, it is the existence of the materialized magic power, so it won't just disappear out of thin air, right?"

"Theoretically speaking, it should be returned to the Holy Grail. The Command Seal itself is something bestowed by the Holy Grail. For those who lost their qualifications as Masters because they lost their Servants, the Command Seals should be taken back by the Holy Grail. However, if there is a situation where the Master is lost And if the Servant is released from the contract, the Holy Grail will redistribute the previously recovered unused Command Seals to the new contractor."

"So that means, with the development of the battle, there may be a new Master?" I once again began to happily dig a trap.

Kirei looked at me a little strangely, and continued to make further explanations.

"Yes. But the person selected by the Holy Grail cannot be decided casually. Therefore, when looking for a new Master, the Holy Grail will still give priority to those who have been selected before and can become Masters."

You can also become a Master again.

Then it will be fine.

"Especially the Masters of the 'Founding Yusanjia' are even more special."

I stared at him closely.

Kotomine Kirei's wish is definitely not "to assist Tosaka Tokiomi". Now under such circumstances, Kotomine Kirei, who has lost his follower meaninglessly and is unwilling in his heart, can almost completely For sure, he will definitely be given the Command Seal again!Once again, join this life-and-death battlefield!

"Even if the Servant is lost, as long as there are other Servants who have not signed a contract during that time, they can continue to exercise their Master rights without losing the Command Seal. It seems that there have been similar incidents in the past. things."

"—"

Kirei stopped involuntarily as if he had noticed something.

"What's wrong? Go on, Kirei."

"...In short, the Master who lost the Servant in the battle will be protected by the church, which is one of the reasons. When there are other Master vacancies, they will have a high probability of obtaining the 'remaining' Command Seals again. Because of this, the method taken by the participants of the Holy Grail War to the hostile Master is not to make them lose their combat effectiveness, but to kill them directly. This is also a measure to ensure that there will be no future troubles.”

"Humph."

I sneered happily and refilled the glass with wine.

"In that case——Kirei, don't you have a great chance to obtain the Command Seal again?"

"It was impossible then!"

Kotomine Kirei immediately denied it.

"The purpose of my participation in the Holy Grail War is the same as what my teacher Tokiomi said - as an aid to the Tohsaka camp, and now all my missions are over. Assassin's investigations have been completed, and Tokiomi-sensei has also targeted All the Masters and their Servants have formulated a winning strategy. Now there is absolutely no need for me to play again."

"Let me tell you, I have serious doubts about Tokiomi's plan. That guy has absolutely no ability to obtain the Holy Grail."

"You are really outspoken about your Master."

I watched Kirei who was laughing uncontrollably, and realized that Tohsaka Tokiomi seemed to have told this disciple about the loss of control that night.Did you actually trust to such a degree that you even told the truth about such a private matter?

—and lied to me.

I frowned unhappily.

"Kirei, it seems that you have a big misunderstanding about the master-slave relationship between me and Tokiomi. Tokiomi treats me with the respect that a courtier treats a king, and at the same time offers magic power as a tribute. I agreed to obey him because of this kind of contract. call. Don’t compare me with other Servants who are like lackeys.”

"So, what do you do with the Command Seal's order?"

"I don't care..." I averted my eyes a little guilty, "It's just that if the subject has fulfilled his obligations as a subject, occasionally the king will listen to his advice."

There is no room for further delay on this subject.I changed the subject in displeasure. "I've seen your resume. Kirei, what are you chasing in confusion, do you really have an idea?"

Kotomine Kirei looked back at me with a blank expression.

"Priests, churches, agents, magicians, alchemists, seances, summons, divinations, healing..." I counted the same thing, "Kirei, you have put in ten or twenty times the effort of others to achieve this." The state you have reached, but you stop when you are still at the last step, and then move on to the next field without any nostalgia. You throw away all the things you have cultivated so hard like garbage, isn’t it for the pursuit of some —Ah, something—are you working hard?”

I carefully observed the priest's expression, never letting go of every line of his face, and then I was satisfied to find that the man's expression had changed very slightly.

"Isn't this a great opportunity?"

I couldn't wait to smile, "The one in front of you is the 'universal wish-fulfilment machine', Kirei! Even if you don't know what you want - isn't it the fastest way to ask the Holy Grail directly?"

"Kotomine Kirei, you are doomed to participate in this war, you are doomed to pursue the Holy Grail, you are doomed to entrust your wishes...to miracles!"

"……Can't."

The priest dressed in black murmured, "I got the Command Seal because of Tokiomi-sensei... such a thing as being an enemy of my master, such a thing...!!"

Just when Kirei said this, a sudden sharp pain spread all over his body, causing him to bend down involuntarily.

"—!?"

In the part of his left forearm close to the elbow, there was a pain that seemed to be burning.Although he didn't know the reason, Kirei had definitely experienced this kind of feeling.Kirei had experienced the same painful and strange feeling as now three years ago.At that time, it was on the arm of his left hand.That's when it all started.

The pain was gradually replaced by waves of burning heat.Kirei stopped thinking because of his surprise, and just unconsciously rolled up the sleeves of his clothes and checked his wrists.

On his left arm, the stigmata of fate appeared impressively.The remaining Command Spells that had been used on Assassin once and part of the pattern disappeared, reappeared in their original size.

This is true!Even the Holy Grail is standing by my side! !I couldn't help laughing out loud, "What, is it really what I thought? But this came too soon! It seems that the Holy Grail not only has great expectations for you, but your wish seems to be asking for the Holy Grail Like it!"

"asshole--"

New Command Spells.The numbness brought by the severe pain proved that this was a fake stigmata, but even so, Kirei still couldn't recover for a while, and couldn't say a word in a daze.

Because, this is simply impossible!

Currently all Masters are still alive.And not a single Servant has been released from the contract.Being re-given Command Seals under such circumstances is completely unprecedented—and Kirei doesn't even belong to the "Founding Royal Three Families"!

"See, Kirei—your desire is so strong that the Holy Grail almost 'can't wait' to bestow you with a new Command Seal. I look forward to your return to the battlefield!"

This is really, really pleasing!

The flame of fanaticism in my heart is burning higher and higher.I pressed him while the iron was hot, "Kotomine Kirei, you should also respond to the expectations of the Holy Grail. Anyway, you must have a reason to hope for the Holy Grail."

"The reason why I... got the Holy Grail?"

Facing the facts, the man was completely at a loss.In the end, he repeated my words subconsciously, and looked at me almost for help.

"If it's really a miracle that can grant any wish—the Holy Grail, it must be able to fulfill the deepest wish in your heart that you don't even realize yourself."

I smile.

"This is what the Holy Grail expects of you, Kirei—I expect you to get it. The Holy Grail didn't choose your teacher, it didn't choose anyone else—it just chose you, Yan, Feng, Qi, Li."

"The Holy Grail—chosen—I—?"

the priest murmured.

"Even the Holy Grail is helping you—what you're after is already within reach, Kirei."

I said happily.

"Are you happy?"
