Not scum not happy

For the Church of the Holy Church, Fuyuki, or the entire Far East, is really not a good place.

Compared with the church, the residents of the Far East obviously trust the Shintoism that has been passed down through the ages, and it is also the Buddhism that was passed down from the neighboring country of the former suzerain.

The cold and clear Fuyuki Church is the norm here. More people come only during worship, but at most it only takes up half of the church.But thanks to this, Kirei has the time to do things outside the purview of ordinary priests.

So, when he pushed open the door of the chapel, he was a little surprised to find that someone was sitting in the first row, looking up at the cross and the statue of Christ on the altar.

He couldn't see the face of the person coming from the back, and it seemed that the person was praying devoutly——however, when he saw Gilgamesh, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded as usual, such a guess, Disappeared without a trace.

The King of Heroes has always been elusive, he is rarely willing to take the initiative to appear in front of people, and when he does, usually, the other party is someone with a relationship.

And when he saw a man hidden in the blind spot behind the pillar for the third time, the identity of the visitor was finally confirmed.

"It is rare that you will come to this place."

"This place is not bad, it can make people feel calm."

The man sitting in the first row didn't turn his head, and didn't even change his posture in the slightest. Only the lack of ups and downs sounded in the chapel, because it was originally a structure to gather sounds, and the echo seemed very far away in the room.

Kirei walked through the rows of seats and turned around before the shrine, and he could see a young man with light-colored natural curly short hair, wearing glasses and looking at the shrine seriously, but that posture was really hard to call Piety, to put it bluntly, is... the eyes that look at ordinary sculptures with admiration.

"I thought that if you were looking for peace of mind, you should go to Fuyuki Shrine...at least Ryutoji Temple?" Although he didn't know why the other party spread such an obvious lie that "the house is a shrine", Kirei still said .

"I'm an atheist, and it's the same everywhere." Takano Sosumi replied.

"Oh." Kirei was not surprised at all, and this is not unusual in this country.

"...However, although I am an atheist myself, I still think that if we want this world to develop in a better direction, it is better for human beings to have faith."

For the first time, the priest in black had an expression other than "blank face", "...I thought that only Emiya could say such words."

He didn't make it clear which Wei Gong it was, and Zong Chun didn't ask, but just continued talking.

"No matter what religion it is, whether it is the Holy Church, Shintoism or Buddhism, there is the same element in the teachings: those who do bad things will definitely get retribution from heaven. I think this is the most valuable part of faith - let people Learn to be in awe."

The youth talked eloquently, "People who don't know how to be in awe have no bottom line. Let people know that no matter what they do, there is an all-knowing and omnipotent existence watching them, and evil deeds will be curbed and reduced. At least they will think before they act. , Doing so will lead to retribution. As for this existence, whether it is the god of the Holy Church, the 800 million gods or the Buddha, it doesn’t really matter.”

"God doesn't exist, but faith is necessary. I don't like people who don't have faith, don't know awe, because they make it impossible to see where their bottom line is, and you can never imagine what terrible things they might do. thing."

"—what a wonderful argument." The priest applauded.

"Kotomine Kirei, you are a person who doesn't know how to be in awe."

"It's a pity that we couldn't reach a consensus on this point. Besides, if you want to say that, you are the one who has no faith and no respect, right?" Kirei didn't deny it, nor did he admit it.

"...Yes, I am." Zong Chun closed his eyes, then opened them again, "So, what is your purpose?"

"Purpose? If you want to say it, it's 'liberation'. Isn't it natural for a priest to protect the thing that you want to be born and offer blessings to it?" Kirei showed a rare smile, "Then, what about me?" Let me ask you: How are you? What are you seeking in the Holy Grail War?"

He clearly said he didn't believe it, the so-called universal wishing machine.

It is indeed a good reason to want to observe the coming of the third law because of doubts about the fourth law in his body, but it is not enough to explain Takano Souno's activity.

Obviously there is no need to participate to this extent.

In fact, as long as he waits for the moment when the Holy Grail War ends, no matter who the winner is, he will be able to see the Holy Grail descending with his own eyes.

In this Fuyuki City, there is only one kind of person who cares about whether the Holy Grail descends in his hands.

"I've been thinking, are you also yearning for something from the Holy Grail? If you are also a magician, maybe you will be selected and become one of the seven Masters?"

——And, within these ten years, a new wish was born.

Takano Souno, who was once close to the Holy Grail ten years ago, raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously glanced at the humanoid monster who had been with him and looked similar to him, but did not answer.

Because, including himself, he doesn't know what his real desire is.

Perhaps Zongchun had already thought of something in his subconscious mind, but his superficial consciousness hadn't noticed it yet, and he just felt that he had to do this—to get the Holy Grail.

Not let others get it, but [yourself] to get it.

"Maybe, just maybe." Zong Chun replied irrefutably, "The most important thing is, as you know, it is impossible for me to really get the Holy Grail."

The priest finally frowned, and it took him a long time to reply: "—Well, that's true."

Zong Chun stood up from his seat, "That's the end of the chat, I still have to go to Emiya to see how they are doing, goodbye, priest, chatting with you is really tiresome."

Zongjun and Takano Fuji left Fuyuki Church and walked towards Emiya's residence.

However, he didn't go far, and he stopped in a narrow alley with no one there.

"Do you have something to tell me too?"

A young man with blond hair showed his figure, with a condescending expression on his face, "I haven't seen you for a while, I just came to say hello."

"Is it just reminiscing about the past? I thought His Majesty had something to say to me." Zong Chun chuckled.

It's been a long time since Zong Chun used the rejuvenating drug, Zong Chun once had a fairly ordinary friendship with the young Gilgamesh, but it was nothing more than that.

The current Gilgamesh is eighteen|nine years old, which is better than the 25-six-year-old who was completely unapproachable during the Fourth Holy Grail War. Although the degree of arrogance is deeper, the curiosity about the outside world is not It has increased, and it is completely different from the cute and upright eleven or twelve-year-old.

"Hmm—although I don't know what method you used, but you have indeed become a participant. What do you call this? Wild card?... Even Kirei and the Holy Grail have been tricked by this point."

Gilgamesh ignored Takano Fuji's stare, stepped forward to get close to Zongjun, as if confirming, and quickly retreated to the original place.

The Holy Grail War has a history of 300 years. There have been cases where non-Masters participated in the war in the past, such as Irisviel, Hisau Maiya in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Takano Munezumi.

However, none of these non-Masters can shake the essence of the Holy Grail War—the seven Masters fighting each other.

The condition for the Great Holy Grail to descend is that the souls of the six Servants return to the Lesser Holy Grail, and the descending Holy Grail is a spirit body, including the Master, which cannot be touched by anyone. Only the last person who can touch the Holy Grail can touch it. The victorious Servant, because of this, the seven participants fought each other.

Conversely, except for the seven participants and the Servant, no matter what other people are thinking about, they will not be able to touch the Holy Grail.

Therefore, in a sense, all the Masters don't care what the other interveners are planning. Anyway, in the final analysis, one of the participants must be relied on to achieve it-this should be the case.

However, there were two accidents in this Holy Grail War.

The first is of course Kotomine Kirei who is the Master of Gilgamesh, and the second is Takano Sojun.

Since discovering the existence of the fourth law, Zong Chun began to study it. Although he couldn't control it, he already had a good understanding of the attributes of the fourth law.

Among the known properties, one of them is "absolute".

——Since it is called "absolute cognitive diffusion", once Zongchun's fourth method is established, it becomes an "absolute" thing, so it cannot be changed absolutely.In other words, it is impossible to use the second "absolute cognitive diffusion" on the same cognition of the same thing.Otherwise, he didn't know the rules of summoning the familiar at first and did keep Takano Teng, but after knowing the rules, Takano Teng didn't disappear because of it, that's all.

In the same way, when he saw the Holy Grail for the first time, Zong Chun didn't know that only the spirit body could touch it. Instead, he once had the idea that "he could get it at his fingertips"—and because of the cognition at that time and the fourth law , the current Takano Sosumi is probably the only one who can hold the Holy Grail besides Servant.

Even compared to Kotomine Kirei and the other Masters who still rely on Servants to achieve their goals, maybe Munejun is closer to that cup.

"...As expected of the King of Heroes. But Kotomine is considered a wild card, right? Are you going to tell him about this?"

The golden king was pondering, as if he was comparing how to do it better, and finally said with a playful smile: "No, don't tell him, it seems more interesting."
