Sumire Tohsaka

【Interlude】BadGuy

"You should know what will happen if you continue to leave that kind of thing alone?"

The oldest King of Heroes put his arms around his chest, looked coldly at the black-clothed priest in front of him, and pronounced his surname in a dangerous tone.

"Yanfeng."

"However, she hasn't started to transform yet."

Kotomine Kirei stood in front of the holy statue with a slight smile on his face.

"The butterfly has hatched, but she still refuses to leave the cocoon she is in. It is not so much the bondage imposed on her by the outside world, as it is her own bondage."

Like a larva spinning a cocoon to bind itself, her desires are superimposed layer upon layer, like a thin and dense net, binding her up layer by layer. To this day, the thing called Viola Tohsaka still refuses to change.

"What are you talking about not wanting to change..." Gilgamesh smiled sarcastically, "From the moment she decided to leave that amber, the change has already begun."

From the moment Sumire Tohsaka left Rei Garden—that secret place that is completely isolated from the outside world like amber, a foreign land where there is no air circulation—to be precise, the change has already begun from the moment she wanted to leave there. .

The world is changing at her will, albeit very slightly, but it is also the beginning of distortion.

"Tokiomi is really an idiot." Gilgamesh sneered, "Obviously the thing I want the most is by my side, but I've always turned a blind eye to it - not bad! This is the best comedy he's ever staged!"

Gilgamesh once served as the Servant of Tohsaka Tokiomi with the title of "Archer" in the Fourth Holy Grail War.For him, there is no more ironic comedy than suddenly seeing that little girl named Tohsaka Sumire one year after the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

After fully comprehending the essence of that thing, Gilgamesh couldn't help laughing out loud, laughing so hard that he couldn't help but laugh.

Obviously, in order to reach the root, he did not hesitate to spend 200 years to create such a complicated spiritual seance ceremony, he did not hesitate to deceive the heroic spirits, he did not hesitate to block his life, he did not hesitate to fight against the will of the world—but he did not notice until his death that he had been suffering The thing you are looking for is by your side.

What a wonderful irony!

Tohsaka Tokiomi is so confident in his own judgment, his own cognition, that he never even noticed for a second... The little daughter he regards as an "ordinary person" has been connected to the root since birth.

No, to be more precise.

That, that which flows from the root, is part of the root.

In other words, that is the root itself.

So, how could Gilgamesh not laugh about it?

At this moment, he forgave Tohsaka Tokiomi for all his offenses to the king. After all, even he never thought that Tohsaka Tokiomi could still present such absurd comedy to the king after his death!

"I thought you would hate her very much, Gilgamesh."

Kotomine Kirei showed a slightly surprised expression.

"This king doesn't like that kind of empty doll." Gilgamesh said, "However, I don't hate that thing trying to imitate human beings."

If we say that Tohsaka Sumire before leaving Liyuan is just a doll display that makes him feel superfluous even if he glances at it.So, after leaving Liyuan, Sumire Tohsaka... has become more and more like a "person".

Change doesn't just happen in the world.Happened to her too.

Now that the "clairvoyance" is turned off—no, even if the "clairvoyance" is still turned on, Gilgamesh can hardly predict her future.

Is the end point of the larva's transformation a mortal or a god?

But one thing is clear.

"Did you push her from behind?"

The blood-red snake eyes turned to Kotomine Kirei, but the priest in black just smiled and nodded as a matter of course.

"It is my task to offer blessings to the things that are about to be born." His tone sounded inexplicably joyful.

"Blessing? How dare you say it, Yanfeng." A cold smile appeared on Gilgamesh's face, "It must be a curse."

All along, Kotomine Kirei has only provided Sumire Tohsaka with the minimum amount of mana supplements, only to the extent that can maintain her life, so that she will not die early due to exhaustion.

It was not only to appreciate her pained look, but also to curb her growth - whatever it meant.

The growth of the body will inevitably bring about changes in the mind. Although the mysterious world has always recognized the existence of the soul, everyone must admit that our spirit resides on the body. In order to slow down the speed of change, Yanfeng Kirei deliberately controlled the nutrients (magic power) provided to Tohsaka Sumire.

Over the years, he has enjoyed her pain, and also enjoyed the pain of the people around her caused by her.For this pleasure, he delayed her transformation as long as possible.

However, this strategy has recently changed.

When Sumire Tohsaka became obsessed with making wishes "for herself", Kotomine Kirei suddenly increased the supply of magic power to her.

Involuntarily, he turned all the remaining Command Seals on his arm into the magic power poured into her body.

It's like suddenly stuffing a large amount of food into a child who has been hungry all year round. It can almost be called "compulsive overeating".

From this moment on, the balance has been broken.

Sumire Tohsaka began to accelerate her transformation.Young butterflies, still in cocoons, are forced to start eclosion early.

Those white cocoons called wishes that were originally woven to protect her, from this moment on, gradually turned into snares that would strangle her to death bit by bit.

Once a change has occurred, it is difficult to return to the previous state.The body, accustomed to a state of abundant mana, began to put forward higher requirements in order to survive.

Simple perfunctory as in the past is absolutely not feasible.Those who are used to fullness will no longer be able to bear to be reduced to a state of hunger and thirst.

And there are always only two ways to replenish magic power.

eat people, or...

Which one will she choose?As her thirst for magic escalates, what will she end up with?What kind of twisted wish would she make?

Kotomine Kirei was really, really curious.

"That's something that wasn't expected by the world in the first place."

Under the icon, the priest in black raised his head and continued with a smile.

"Until her transformation is complete, until she has an answer, I'll watch. Give my blessing to what she ends up becoming. That's my mission."

Yes, he was looking forward to what kind of answer the girl who had just started to transform would finally come up with.

——Can she really survive?

Kotomine Kirei wanted to see, born as a colorless soul, as something that shouldn't be born in this world, the one whose origin is "nothing"... an existence called "Tohsaka Sumire", who made himself What kind of answer will the one who is bound in the empty girl figure finally come up with.

"I just want to clear my doubts."

With a steady tone, the man calmly talked about... the wish that has always existed in his heart.

That is the answer that a man who cannot love all beautiful beings, concepts of goodness, and good things is still unable to come up with.

——Can something like this [existence itself is a sin] survive?

"so boring."

The golden king stood up as if he had completely lost interest in this matter, and left a boring comment.

"Then if you want to know the answer, wouldn't it be good to make a wish to that thing? Anyway, that is a wish-making machine that is purer than the Holy Grail, and has the records and authority of everything in the world【】."

"If she's not coming to that conclusion as a human being, it doesn't make any sense to me."

Kotomine Kirei paused, and the smile on the corner of his mouth widened.

"Although, I don't understand whether my thoughts...is her will."

Kotomine Kirei had already understood it the first time he met the eyes of the existence fixed in the human form.

She just exists here, and everything in the world will be twisted according to her will.

That is the princess of the source, the darling of the world, as long as she wants, everything will run according to her will - just like this existence as Kotomine Kirei, in fact, it is impossible to distinguish clearly, this desire to watch to the end Was it because she had hoped so in the last mood?

However, Kotomine Kirei was not curious about the answer to this question.

"Please keep twisting, Sumire."

He smiled, offering a curse-like blessing to someone who wasn't here.

"The world, as we know it, works on your terms."

……

……

……

As Kotomine Kirei said.

By the time word reaches Fuyuki of Sumire Tohsaka's vicious bullying at her new school, the curtain has already fallen.

The leaders of the bullying incident - Karasawa Yusho and Kirihara Ryoji were arrested successively.

Tang Zeyusui first used the "Happiness Club", a small cult that relies on destroying happiness to obtain happiness, to carry out a concentrated and long-term prank on Tohsaka Sumire-just this is not enough to send her to prison.

The problem is, after Ryoji Kirihara stabbed the detective who was investigating Yukiho Karasawa for the sake of protecting their mutual secret, things changed.

The murder that the two were involved in together as children has been reopened.In the end, Ryoji Kirihara was proven to have killed his father, and Yukiho Karasawa was proven to have killed his mother.

As for the other crimes committed by the two after that, they were revealed one by one.

As for the bombing at the graduation prom of Luoshan High School, there is also a new investigation result.

Tang Ze Xuesui spent money to invite the recently famous Bomb丨丨 Demon to destroy the dance party and kill Tohsaka Sumire.After Tohsaka Sumire escaped from the venue, he encountered another explosion.Even though Bomber had never been killed or murdered in his past cases, the police also attributed this case to him.

No matter how ingeniously they are buried, many crimes in the past are still revealed, and what awaits Karasawa Yusui and Kirihara Ryoji will be the punishment of the law.

"Did you make another wish, Sumire?"

Because this incident involved the police and exceeded Mrs. Aoi's ability to deal with it, Kotomine Kirei came to Kyoto on purpose to solve problems for the master's wife and young daughter.After they left the police station together, the priest in black lowered his head and asked.

"I hope it all ends well."

Sumire Tohsaka did not deny it.

Just like that, the world will run according to her will.

Seeing the white-haired young man waiting for Sumire Tohsaka in the distance, the priest in black stopped meaningfully and met the man's eyes behind the sunglasses.

It was a pair of eyes that spread across the sky.

"I see, have you found a new protector?"

Kotomine Kirei watched clearly as the girl quickened her pace and walked towards the young man.The man held her head with open hands, his gaze moved away from Kotomine Kirei, and stayed on Sumire Tohsaka's face.He pinched her face maliciously, and raised his voice rather childishly.

"Shouldn't you introduce me, Xiao Jin?" The white-haired young man didn't look at him, but was obviously asking him.

Sumire Tohsaka thought for a while before giving an answer in her own style.

"He is my father's disciple, Kotomine Kirei." She said concisely, "He has helped me a lot, but he is a very annoying person."

Helped me a lot.but.Is it a very annoying person...?

Surprisingly sharp.

Kotomine Kirei thought.nodded to them.

"If someone comes to pick you up, I'll leave first." He paused meaningfully for a moment before continuing, "But... are you sure that his feelings for you are not twisted by you, Sumire?"

Sumire Tohsaka stopped moving.Because her back was facing him, Kotomine Kirei couldn't see her expression clearly.

However, there was a powerful big hand pressing on her shoulder, and the owner of that hand looked directly at him, and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"Who do you think I am?"

A slightly contemptuous smile appeared on the man's face.

"Don't try to figure me out with those boring rules, False Priest."

"It seems that this time, you have caught a pretty amazing guy."

Kotomine Kirei watched the two of them for a while with deep eyes.

"No... he should have been caught."

——The hatched butterfly is about to emerge from its cocoon.
