[FATE] I'm Ginger

In the end, the Matou family didn't go, and Tokiomi didn't have the chance to go during the Holy Grail War.

It all started with the bad news from Kotomine Kirei.

"My father...was killed."

I don't know exactly what happened, because I was sulking to myself at the time.

This is the first time in my life that I have completely miscalculated.Every time before, whether it was seducing Kotomine Kirei, molesting Saber, or communicating with the King of Conquerors, the reactions of others were all within my expectations.But only on Lancer, I miscalculated again and again.

The first is the unexpected attention to him—but considering that I was a loyal dog lover before time travel, it is not unacceptable to pay attention to a family dog ​​that fits my taste very well.

At first I thought I was thinking "a man with a family dog ​​must be fun", but soon I realized that I was looking for the shadow of my best friend Enkidu in him.

So I thought I was looking for a substitute for a best friend, but I realized right away that what I was looking for in him was not the sameness as my best friend, but the difference--this is definitely not the rhythm of finding a substitute.

Then I realized that maybe I was paying attention to him alone.However, the sea demon battle last night made me realize to my horror that I paid more attention to him than Saber—this is absolutely abnormal, the hero king Gilgamesh obviously likes the type of Saber!

In the end, when I wanted to really have a good communication with him (...you obviously want to watch the excitement and laugh at people?!), he left the scene.

……

……

... What the hell is this! !

I haven't said a few words to them properly (everything I said is a joke, it's a joke!) So I left the stage without even saying hello! ! ! ! !

I am deeply...resentful.

Well done Lancer, Diarmuid Audina of the Seat of Guns, I remember you!

Anyway, the exit of the Heroic Spirits of the Holy Grail War is just the return of the spirit core to the Little Holy Grail. I marked you!Do you think you can escape if you lose the battle?Don't be naive!The King of Heroes is omnipotent! !Wait until I pull you out of the little chalice and torture you! ! ! ! !

Spearman Diarmuid Odina, a handsome and heroic spirit known as "The Glorious Appearance", in a place that he didn't even know, grabbed a share for himself... a hatred that was so big that he couldn't handle it at all .

Sure enough, the spearmen have been lucky since ancient times, and they are hard to explain.

Early in the morning, I was sitting on the bed, sulking secretly because of the Lancer's unexpected exit, and Tosaka Tokiomi's unlovable subordinate had long since been forgotten by me.What he said and did this morning, I have no idea.

So when I went downstairs, I saw Kotomine Kirei sitting and drinking tea in the living room, so you can imagine how surprised I was, right? !

"Kirei...?"

Kotomine Kirei looked at me with an expression almost frightened.

Oh... a little surprised. "That" Kotomine Kirei would actually show such an expression...

"What happened? Are you here—where did Tokiomi go?"

"To get something... said it was my 'graduation gift' or something..." He explained something, then fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Father... passed away."

"Then?" I sat down comfortably, knowing what he wanted to say.

"I'm... in tears. But..."

Weeping in front of my father's body and will... as a human being, it's only natural.

Even so, Kirei almost fell into the abyss of hell at that time, falling into fear and confusion.

Can't go back.Unable to self-reflect.The tears shed that day, the feelings I held at that time must be cast into the abyss of oblivion.

The answer I once comprehended.

A truth that has been painstakingly understood.

If it was because he didn't look directly at all this and took an evasive way to keep himself in his current state——

"You feel at a loss." I smirked, "You're like a beast chasing the scent of blood—your soul is chasing pleasure, Kirei."

Kotomine Kirei was silent.

In fact, when dealing with the aftermath, Kirei noticed two pieces of information among the large amount of information sent from the staff.

One—on the bank of the river where Caster's sea monsters had thrown them into chaos, the corpse of an adult male with a strange death appearance appeared in front of the public.The body was taken over by the Church of the Templars, preventing it from being handed over to the police.Due to the severe facial damage, it is impossible to identify his identity, but it can be basically determined from the traces of the Command Spell on his right hand that he is Caster's Master, Ryunosuke Uyuu.Cause of death--Two rounds of high-caliber rifle ammunition of [-] mm caliber or greater.

And another report is even more shocking.

Just a few hours ago, the bodies of Kayneth Elmeroy Archibald and Sola Nazela Sophialie were found in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the new capital.The two bodies were also discovered and disposed of by church staff on patrol.Abandoned signed self-enforcement testimonials were found at the scene, naked evidence of the perpetrator's despicable tricks to kill Lancer's Master.

Emiya Kiritsugu—this ruthless hunting machine was destroying opponents one by one.

I'm afraid that now, he is still fighting somewhere.Unlike Kirei who could only sit there in a daze, he was actually walking towards the Holy Grail.

"I didn't, tell Tokiomi-sensei that I possessed the Command Seal again...and the fact that I inherited the role of supervisor."

he murmured.

"But, 'You, the Son of Man, have to prepare for your father's funeral', the teacher said... Let me leave Fuyuki City."

The intention of using Kotomine Kirei as a tool and throwing it away after use is obvious.Tokiomi who said such words had obviously lost his usual grace and became a little panicked.

It was the same before, and he actually said that he was going to Matong's house... It seems that something happened yesterday that was not in the original book, which completely messed up this person.

Even the only advantage of "elegance and calmness" is gone, this guy must have lived to the end.

"—You don't really want to leave, do you? The Holy Grail is still calling you, and you are also eager to fight on." I looked down at his Command Seal.

Kirei remained silent and gave up the rebuttal.It is completely a default posture.

In any case, there was nothing to hide anymore—wasn't it already obvious that I was just deceiving myself and others?

"...Ever since I was sensible, I have been exploring a question."

As if speaking to the darkness in his heart, Kirei stood up.

"Wasting time, enduring pain... But it all ended in vain. But now, I feel that I have never been so close to the 'answer'. What I seek must be in Fuyuki, at the end of the war .”

... You are so right.The awakened Father Mapo is simply a human being.But obviously I have already realized something, but I still escape like this... It makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Since I have reflected so much, why are you confused?" My tone became less favorable.

Hearing this, Kirei lowered his head and stared at the outstretched hands, then covered his face as if about to sigh.

"I have a foreboding that when I have all the answers, I'm going to perish."

Well, he can't be allowed to shrink back at this time.

"——Don't think about boring things, idiot. If you can change your way of life so easily, you won't be troubled. You who are used to asking questions while you live will die with questions in the end. You have to I can't rest in peace until I get the answer."

"..."

"Maybe I should bless you. After a long tour, I'm finally arriving at my destination."

"...You actually bless others? Archer."

"I should have said that observing the karma of human beings is the most interesting entertainment. This king is looking forward to the moment when you meet your own destiny."

"...Is it really enjoyable to live so persistently for 'pleasure'?"

"If you are envious, you can also try to watch it alive like this. When you understand what joy is, you will not be afraid of death."

I spoke very fast, refusing to give him time to think and refuse, and pressing him step by step to force him to face his heart.

Silence again.But then, Kotomine Kirei laughed.

This is a completely different smile from before.The dark malice and devilish desires are concealed under the sanctimonious smile of the saint, that is—covering the ugly heart with a holy posture, there is no doubt that it is a qualified enough "villain BOSS" smile.

Hypocrisy—for me, there is only one meaning in this smile.

"I was also confused, and thought about giving up. But in the end—King of Heroes, as you said—people like me can only live with doubts."

While talking, Kirei rolled up his sleeves, checking the Command Seals on his arms.

On the upper left arm, there are two Command Seals, the Command Seals that can make Kirei enter into a contract with the Servant again.

And on the entire right arm was the Command Seal recovered from his father's remains.Countless command spells that have not yet been identified as contract objects can not only be used to bind Servants, but can also be used to refine highly practical non-attribute magic power.

In other words, they can be used as simulated magic seals.Aside from the fact that they are consumables, the magic engravings that Kirei now possesses are enough to rival the well-known magic schools that have accumulated engravings from past dynasties.To continue to participate in the ongoing Holy Grail War, Kirei's preparations are more than sufficient.

The road ahead has no righteousness, no vain reputation, and the battle that belongs only to Kotomine Kirei is about to begin.

In order to fill his own emptiness, to confirm his own emptiness——he would ask Emiya Kiritsugu, Matou Kariya, and, the Holy Grail as a wishing machine.

"Hahahaha—but Kirei, although a bit abrupt, I have a few questions."

I was finally relaxed and in the mood for mischief.

"If you really decide to participate in the Holy Grail War, then you will become the enemy of Tohsaka Tokiomi. In other words, you are now in the same room with the enemy's Servant defenseless. This is not very bad ?"

"Not at all, I still have a way to survive."

"Oh?"

I blinked with interest.

Kirei said calmly, "Although I don't know why, but you who claim to 'own everything in this world', have you somewhat noticed it? The final use of the Holy Grail—"

"... Tell me?" I opened the corner of my mouth in surprise.

"The ceremony originally held in Fuyuki was an attempt to open the road to the 'root' by offering seven heroic spirits as sacrifices. The promise of 'achievement of miracles' was just a bait to attract the heroic spirits. Far If Saka Tokiomi wants to fulfill his wish, he must kill all seven Servants to activate the "Great Holy Grail"—yes, kill all seven of them. When everything is over, he will use the last command spell to order his Servants to commit suicide .”

"And you—Archer, although I don't know the reason, but you are more or less aware of this?"

"... Ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!" I laughed out loud!

What, am I being so obvious!Was it so easy to be noticed?No——Kirei, you really are a man with a beast-like intuition! !

So much fun - so much fun! ! !

"Aha, what should I do? Although he is unfaithful to me, Tokiomi is my magic power provider after all. And where can I find a perfect Master—"

As I said that, I stared at Kirei with a half-smile expression.

"Ahh—so, it seems that there is another Master here who has obtained the Command Seal but lost the Servant."

"That's right...but I don't know if that man is qualified to be favored by the King of Heroes as a Master."

"No problem. Although the white jade is slightly flawed, there is still a future. Maybe it will make me happy."

I said with a snake-like expression, full of temptation.

"Kirei,... Wang? Have you gone downstairs?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi pushed open the door, and was a little surprised when he saw me, "You and Kirei—seem to get along pretty well?"

"Of course." I said with a smile, "this man is much more interesting than you."

The two of us looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi at the same time, with identical smiles on our faces.
