gaze of war

The author has something to say: Severe cold, chest pain, vomiting and diarrhea, people who have to go to work are half dead and crawl out, everyone, don’t catch a cold when the temperature drops... It’s going to die... vomit)

Kotomine Rizheng has recently noticed that there is something wrong with Kirei's actions.

Completely ignoring Tohsaka Tokiomi's orders, and even ignoring his father's orders, Kirei was active in the Holy Grail War with other goals than "assisting Tokiomi".

The restoration of the relationship with Tohsaka also failed completely, and Tohsaka Tokiomi said with a gloomy expression, "Please confirm Kotomine Kirei's purpose before discussing this matter with me. The Church really wants to have a relationship with Tohsaka Do you cooperate?" reply, and rejected all communication requests from Kotomine Risama.

While deeply humiliated and indignant by Tohsaka Tokiomi's rude behavior, Kotomine Risei also felt a little flustered by his unpredictable son's intentions.

Kirei... What exactly do you want to do?

Kenneth sat on the comfortable light-colored sofa, leaning on the handle with his elbows and resting his forehead with his fingers, looking very tired.In front of him, Lancer, who had fully replenished his magic power through the magic power circuit with Sora, was kneeling there respectfully on one knee.

The lights in the hotel were very bright, making Kenneth's blond hair shine.But correspondingly, his blue eyes were full of spiteful coldness.Those eyes were full of sharp malice, staring straight at the servant kneeling in front of him.

"Ha! So, is it that sentence again?" Kenneth mocked with a twisted and sharp voice, "'Please forgive me for my self-assertion'? Huh?!"

Lancer didn't answer.

The black-haired knight in blue bowed his head deeply in an extremely humble gesture.

"Ah, the knight who always says, 'He was called here to help the lord win'. He always leaves his master without authorization, abandons him among the dangerous crowd, and unleashes all his magical power on his own initiative. , putting the lord in danger—" Kenneth slammed his fist on the coffee table at hand, shaking all the cups on it to make a "click" sound, "Is this how you are loyal, lancer?!"

Lancer lowered his head even further.Where Kenneth couldn't see, he closed his eyes tightly, and clenched his hands on the ground until the knuckles turned white.

"No matter what... I, Diarmuid Odina, even at the cost of this life, will definitely win the Holy Grail for you!" He swore in a low voice. "I didn't deliberately deceive you, it's just that the reason for this incident...is not something that I can say in my capacity."

Obviously, Kenneth was even more irritated by his words.

Out of control, he grabbed the cup on the table and threw it at Lancer's face.

The glass goblet shattered against Lancer's forehead.The sharp fragments flew, but did not cause any damage to the Heroic Spirit's face - he was just a "thing" that looked like a human.

Kenneth understood this all too clearly.

Before Kenneth officially became a participant in the Holy Grail War, he was a first-level lecturer in the Clock Tower's Ascension Department.Regarding the magic of spirits, it can be said that no one in Fuyuki City knows it as deeply as he does.It is precisely because of his incomparable familiarity with this field that Kenneth does not have the longing for the so-called "heroic spirits" that most magicians share.

Just like any spirits he has communicated with, heroic spirits are nothing more than inhuman props—it’s just that compared to ordinary spirits, they can have greater power through the contract with Gaia and the Holy Grail, and can be in It just played a bigger role in this sacrament.

But the premise is that the heroic spirit he summoned is strong enough to match him—the son of the famous Archibald, who has been called a holy boy and a genius since he was a child, Kenneth Ayre, who has been famous in the clock tower at a young age Meloy Archibald.

Originally, everything was planned, as long as the victory was achieved step by step.

But before the summoning, when the damned thief stole the relic of the King of Conquerors that he had worked so hard to find, everything went off the rails.

His original dream of summoning the most powerful emperor was completely shattered, so he had to settle for the next best thing and summoned this little-known knight.Now, even this knight, who could not be recorded in history at all, dared to disobey his orders!

What made Kenneth hate it the most was that this inhuman creature who wantonly violated his orders dared to put on an upright face and swore to be loyal to him!

and also……

Kenneth's trembling fingers closed tightly.

Sora, who originally went out with this heroic spirit for the reason of "surveillance", even though he was so rudely abandoned on the street, would still be furious when he saw that his mana was not enough, and reprimanded himself for this heroic spirit after replenishing the mana This fiancé!

Thinking of the red-haired fiancée who was temporarily resting due to lack of magic power, Kenneth couldn't help clenching his teeth.No matter how outstanding and perfect she is, how considerate she is in front of Sola, she is always!Always maintain that damn lancer!Obviously...it's just a prop!

The hatred for lancer was further aroused.Kenneth gripped the handle of the sofa tightly, almost choking it off like Lancer's neck, with great strength.

"……Lord."

"What's the matter!" Hearing Lancer's voice suddenly, Kenneth reacted quite violently.

Lancer raised his head, the broken hair on his forehead fell down along the curve of his forehead, looking like a scar running through half of his face.He watched Kenneth quietly with golden eyes, and reported without emotion: "Master, there is an unknown servant outside the workshop, and they are approaching rapidly."

Because of his confidence in his magic skills and abilities, while turning the Hyatt Hotel into a magic fortress, Kenneth also set countless traps around the hotel.The defense is like an iron wall, and it will not be afraid of any enemy's strong attack.Even if the enemy directly hits the door, he can stay still.

Three magic traps outside the barrier have been detonated. ……3.

Kenneth's forehead twitched slightly.

He tried his best to suppress all the violent emotions before, and took a deep breath.

"... lancer."

"Yes, my lord."

"Kill that intruder," Kenneth said in a suppressed voice.

If you don't kill him, then you die for me stopping that mighty foe.Said in the depths of Kenneth's dark blue eyes.

The black-haired knight stood up swiftly and bowed deeply.

"Yes, my lord."

he said quietly.

After turning into a heroic spirit, Lancer rushed to the place where he felt the breath at an extremely fast speed.This is the alley next to the downstairs of the Hyatt Hotel, and the depths are empty.But this area still has the magical breath that I felt just now. Lancer bowed his body slightly, scanning his surroundings vigilantly, and then, not far from the front side, he noticed the enemy whose tracks had been exposed, and immediately chased him in that direction.

After he left, in the deepest shadow of the alley, a small black-clothed masked heroic spirit slowly walked out—like all his companions in the same costume, their names were assassins.

The assassin glanced at the direction Lancer was chasing, took a step back, and hid in the darkness again.

"Master Kirei."

The priest in black stood on the top of the building, and the high-altitude wind violently blew his hair and robe.He looked ahead calmly, as if his soul had left his body.

His vision is constantly connecting with an assassin in charge of seduction, disconnecting from him, and connecting with the next assassin.Because of the large number of heroes and the extremely low individual strength, these heroic spirits are born with a tacit understanding, knowledge, skills, and even the ability to share perceptions like one person.With this characteristic, Kotomine Kirei was able to control the overall situation from the closest angle——Lancer, the unknown heroic spirit holding a spear, was being lured to the position of the short-haired woman according to his own plan.

So, next is——

The assassin who was connected to Kirei's field of vision ushered in a dazzling sharp blade light.

He was already the closest one to Hisau Maiya, almost on the same floor of the building opposite her.At the same time that the assassin was pierced through the chest by the spear, the wall facing the direction of Hisau Maiya was also exploded by the lancer's attack.

Hisau Maiya, who had already keenly noticed the battle, immediately turned the scope of the sniper rifle to the direction of the battle.And just as the dust was gradually clearing away, she found the heroic spirit emerging from the hole.

Hisau Maiya quickly reported to the walkie-talkie: "I found a heroic spirit nearby! According to the weapon, it should be a lancer class! Request for support—"

"Assassin, kill her."

The female voice that sounded beside Kotomine Kirei overlapped with the male voice that sounded behind Hisau Maiya.

"Yes."

Before Hisu Maiya had time to react, he felt a strange numbness slipping down his throat, followed by a fishy suffocation.

how……?Why……?Could it be that... and...? !

Broken sentences flashed through her mind, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

No way...you have to report to Kiritsugu-sama!

Such thoughts made her tightly press the wound on her throat with her hands, and her lips, which were already overflowing with blood, moved closer to the walkie-talkie, trying to explain the situation.But what emerged from the lips was only the sound of air mixed with wheezing——

The vocal cords have been severed together with the larynx.

The short-haired woman with a piercingly beautiful face showed a painful expression—this expression was not because of a fatal wound in the throat, but because of giving the wrong message to the master, and it could not be made up again.

She was struggling like that with blood all over her face, rough wounds were scratched on her whole face, the fine sand and gravel were stained with blood pools that gradually spread, large tears gushed out of her eyes, and overflowed from her mouth Blood frothed, and then he stopped breathing with a face full of unwillingness.

"assassin."

"Yes."

"Catch the familiar and bring it back."

"Yes."

The familiar equipped with a CCD camera will not leave images of what really happened here, nor will it be deliberately destroyed here to leave doubts.

Kotomine Kirei took the bat-form familiar that had been sealed and moved from another assassin, clenched it tightly, and crushed it into pieces—the familiar turned into shattered mana and dissipated, hiding in the The CCD camera in it was blown into pieces by Kirei with skillful techniques, and apart from the tiny traces of magic power left here that will soon dissipate, there will be no remains.

The familiar disappeared, Hisau Maiya was killed after reporting the news that lancer was approaching, this is the fact.

This is the reality created by Kotomine Kirei.
