Curse Shirou

Half a year ago, at the Matou Residence in Fuyuki City.

In the bedroom on the second floor of the main house, Matou Kariya took Sakura and Shinji away, and the surrounding dolls were also dispersed, and sat alone on the head of the bed.

The moonlight as clear as water poured down from the window, illuminating Kariya's pale face, and also illuminating the solemn black clothes of the people outside the window.

Is this another form of death greeting?

Kariya laughed at himself at this thought, and even wanted to laugh, but he couldn't even do anything that required his strength, so he could only quietly wait for the other party to move.

The sound of the window being pushed open sounded, "Reaper" walked to the edge of the bed, strangled him by the throat with his remaining left hand, Matou Kariya was powerless to resist, and there was no reason to resist the other party, the originally breathless breathing became weaker and weaker .

"What the hell are you...?"

The deep, magnetic voice full of anger rang in Kariya's ear, or it came from an extremely distant place, awakening the last gloomy sanity in him.

He wanted to raise his head and take one last look at the person in front of him, but found that his only remaining eye was completely broken.

There was only a haze of gray fog in the field of vision, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Are you here yet...

The body that should have died nine years ago is already at its limit.

Unexpectedly, after only one day of the end of the great war, this body would decline to this point. Kotomine Kirei withdrew his hand from Kariya's neck, and immediately pressed it on the opponent's chest.

During the period of the agent, Kotomine Kirei practiced the most profound healing technique in the church.

But this time, no matter how much he poured out his magic power and how he manipulated the magic to repair the remnant body, he couldn't close the gap that had completely broken down again.

Life flowed from Matou Kariya's body.

This body is completely destroyed and beyond repair.

Aware of the possibility that he had been avoiding to think about, Kotomine Kirei felt an unspeakable sense of distortion, even worse than when he realized his nature was different from ordinary people, it was the madness and calmness where everything was completely out of control.

"Are you going to die, Kariya?"

After a long time, and it seemed like only a minute passed, Matou Kariya finally gathered some strength and answered him:

"People are always going to die. Father, cough, I am just one of the living beings."

Kotomine Kirei stared at him quietly, the shadow cast by the moonlight seemed to be calm, but in reality it was slowly blooming and fluctuating——

"Then do you want to live? Matou Sakura, that girl, the only reason you participated in the Holy Grail War, are you going to abandon her?"

Finding that the other party's consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, when Kotomine Kirei asked this question, his tone already had impatience that he hadn't noticed.

"cherry……"

Hearing this name, Matou Kariya's breathing became a little short, but then he showed a bitter smile.

"I want to live until... when Sakura will be happy... but it seems, it's too late..."

"It's too late, don't close your eyes, don't fall asleep, Kariya!?"

Kotomine Kirei picked up the exhausted man with one hand, and the dancing shadows behind him finally condensed into several pairs of insect limbs.

This abnormal force carved two crosshairs in the void, and the corresponding meaning immediately seeped into Kotomine Kirei's mind.

"Uncle Kariya, how are you doing, are you feeling better?"

The girl's worried greeting came from outside the door, and it was Matou Sakura's voice.

Kariya has been coughing up blood recently, especially today, so she couldn't help but go downstairs again to have a look.

"Are you asleep, Uncle Kariya?"

Matou Sakura gently pushed the door open, but there was only an empty bed in the room, and the curtains fluttering in the evening wind——

Kotomine Kirei wrapped the cassock around Kariya's upper body, and carried him quickly through the shadows. He was rushing to the first sight, which was the foreshadowing he had planted early on, and where his only disciple was.

"Kirei!"

Shirou was already searching for traces of his adoptive father, and Shirou was already prepared for the encounter, but he didn't expect this moment to come so quickly, let alone that the other party broke through the barrier of the Matou family and kidnapped Mr. Kariya, who was in poor health.

"What are you going to do to Mr. Kariya? Put him down—"

Kotomine Kirei stared at his beloved disciple, a smile that was not a smile appeared on his face that hadn't moved for ten thousand years.

Undoubtedly, Shirou was a little shocked.

If anyone has seen Kotomine Kirei with the most expression, it must be Kariya who has been entangled for many years.

But apart from the King of Heroes, who is like-minded in terms of "pleasure", Kotomine Kirei, even Shirou, who has been with him for the longest time and has been with him day and night, has hardly seen his smile in front of other people.

In fact, Kotomine Kirei couldn't feel any happiness other than the pain of others, and he didn't have the slightest ability to empathize.

Seeing this weird smile, Shirou cautiously projected the textbook, and at the same time threw three black keys, leaning forward, trying to forcibly snatch Kariya from Kirei's hand.

At this moment, the huge foot blade that pierced the insect in the void, and the figure holding Matou Kariya, swelled more and more under the moonlight, and began to reveal the inhuman essence.

"Shirou, do you remember that one year, you told me about your nightmare?"

The corners of Kotomine Kirei's mouth curled up stiffly, and he said in a distorted and joyful way:

"It seems that you still haven't found out what you lost in yourself. What a pity."

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but for the last time, put Mr. Kariya down."

When he got closer, Shirou saw clearly that his adoptive father's eyes were no longer human. They were a pair of terrifying pure black compound eyes with densely packed pupils, which tended to replicate and split toward the cheeks.

This picture caused a substantial mental shock, causing him to feel inexplicable frenzy for a moment, and he also had the urge to vomit.

But the instinct he had trained for many years made him forcefully suppress this reaction, and at the same time, the general in his hand stabbed at the opponent without hesitation.

Just like during the Holy Grail War, Shirou has a strong determination to kill the opponent.

Those who died in the church ossuary in vain, whose lives were sacrificed into magic power for the King of Heroes to continue to live, are all innocent children!

How could he turn a blind eye to this? !

Since he did such a thing, it shows that Kirei chose to go to the end of hell, and he is no longer the person he admired when he was young.

No, perhaps according to earlier indications...

When he first adopted him, the other party had secretly imprisoned Mr. Kariya.

Although Kirei later explained that he didn't want Kariya-san to be controlled by the previous Patriarch Zouken, it's hard to imagine that it was really for the good of the other party that Kirei did it so easily to deprive the magician of his personal freedom.

In other words, maybe what I longed for has always been a phantom, a man-made illusion.

From the very beginning, Kirei had gone against himself.

Facing the fake Noble Phantasm piercing the carotid artery, Kotomine Kirei was not in a hurry, but instead stared at his disciple with meaning:

"Still don't realize, if this goes on, you won't be able to turn back."

"...It's you who can't turn back, right? Why on earth did you summon an existence that shouldn't be 'coming'!"

Countless questions flooded his mind, and Shirou had no idea what the other party was playing.

Ke Kemine Kirei seemed unwilling to say any more at this time, those insect limbs in the void fully appeared, trying to wrap him up and trap him like spider legs.

Each "spider leg" is covered with small flesh-colored sea anemones. At first Shirou thought it was a parasitic plant or a relatively large flesh-colored moss.

As a result, when a foot blade was blocked by Mo Xie, he realized in an instant that it was actually covered with a dense layer of children's fingers...

Intense vomiting and dizziness surged again, and Shirou clearly knew that he didn't feel nauseated, or that he hadn't reached that level yet.

But then why did he still have such strong repulsion?

Could this be some kind of projection of [Void] body?Pollution of the spirit in a way humans can understand?

"Shirou."

What? ...

'open the door to the eternal'

I don't understand what you're talking about...

'Open!The door to the Immortals—'

Being able to shoot the command to crush the human spirit into his mind, Shirou lost all consciousness in an instant, and only slowly opened a channel infinitely similar to the sea magic sub-space under his feet.

Kotomine Kirei walked into the whirlpool with Kariya in his arms. At the last second, he looked back at the disciple who was standing there unconscious, and said indifferently:

"You have gone too far, if you don't turn back, you will definitely drown in it."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The first foreshadowing was uncovered: Shirou's memory was wrong, he thought it was Kirei who opened the space-time channel and he was involved, but in fact it was he himself who opened the channel to another world.

Next, a series of foreshadowings will start. Shirou and Shier have small knives (trust me, not big knives), which have been reminded several times before (including the fog and eyes in the dream, the loss of fear when Shirou was adopted, the increasingly ominous premonition, Granny's Death Announcement)

It’s been a long time since the feelings have been brewing, and this chapter has been changed again and again, hoping to give you a smooth plot experience
