[Comprehensive] Judging people by their appearance

"Seeing me die in front of you with your own eyes, do you feel more joyful or sad?"

"..."

"I was wrong, I went in the wrong direction at the beginning, the only one who can heal you is that child Chiba, but it is also Chiba who breeds the devil's desire in your heart, Kirei, what you feel now, is it joy or sadness? ?”

Claudia committed suicide and died in Kotomine Kirei's arms. The gorgeous blood soaked her whole body, and even Kotomine Kirei's teaching robe was dyed even deeper.

He stayed in church for a week, reading passages from the Bible all day and all night.

Even when Qianye went to see him, he shunned him.

No one knew what happened to Kotomine Kirei, so they had to guess the most likely answer, probably Claudia's death broke him down, it was too sad, after all, in the eyes of others, Kotomine Kirei and Klaus Laudia is very loving.

Chiba also cared not to disturb him, spontaneously took over Kotomine Kirei's academic affairs, asked for leave from school, didn't close her eyes for several days, finally finished handling things, went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.

Time ticked away.

In the mist, the light in the bedroom seemed to be turned on, and the sudden light made Qianye, who was trapped in the darkness, rub his eyes.

The bed beside her sank, and a gust of cold air rushed in. Qianye frowned, and just wanted to avoid it, but the person behind her had already wrapped her arms around her, with his chin resting on her shoulder, naked.

The soft and warm body was pressed against the cold and hard body, and the quilt that covered him all night was in vain.

"It's been a year, why haven't you grown up?"

Qianye buried half of her face in the soft pillow, the drowsy sleepiness gradually dissipated, and then she noticed the big hands lying across her chest, half of the buttons of her pajamas were unbuttoned, her cold hands were a little rough, as if she was holding a doll **Looking at the flat little meat that is no different from two years ago.

Chiba muttered: "Don't touch me..."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't go any further, maybe because his body was too cold, he couldn't resist the temptation to get close to this girl.

"Uncle, have you found your favorite holy relic?"

Qianye got up slowly, then paused in the air again, frowning and pulling at her long hair, "Uncle, you've crushed my hair."

Emiya Kiritsugu moved his body slightly, and occupied the position where Chiba slept before, on the pillow, on the quilt, and the air was filled with the warm and sweet scent of the child.

"not yet."

Qianye sniffed the smell of rust in the air, put on her coat, found the medicine box from the last drawer of the cabinet, and turned off the light in the bedroom. Two or three seconds later, a desk lamp in front of the bed came on, illuminating the Brighten up Chiba's pink bed, and the man in the black suit on the bed.

Qianye used scissors to cut off the clothes around the wound, and bandaged it briefly. She raised her eyes to ask when he was leaving, but saw that the man was already asleep.

Emiya Kiritsugu was an overly cautious person, even when they were living together in America, he would always rest after Chiba fell asleep, and wake up before she woke up the next day.

It's just that I don't know when, it seems that since Emiya Kiritsugu has become more and more dependent on Chiba's temperature, the place where he feels most at ease has become Chiba's side.

He sleeps like an old black cat.

Looking at the time, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, Qianye left the bedroom, closed the door softly, rolled up the sleeves of his coat, and turned to another room.

After Claudia's death, Chiba was always worried about Karen, obviously the child was still eating, eating and sleeping without knowing anything.

Chiba has to go to see it every day to be at ease.

The toddler is always crying and restless at night, but Kallen is very good tonight, otherwise Chiba would not be able to sleep so long, and did not wake her up until Emiya Kiritsugu came.

"Karen?"

Qianye looked at the empty little bed, took a small bell from the bed and shook it.

"Karen, Auntie has delicious food here~ Karen, where are you?"

Kallen can already walk, she is very lively, sometimes the nanny has to chase her and feed her.

"Karen?"

However, Qianye searched the whole room but couldn't find Karen's figure, suddenly thought of something, Qianye touched the quilt on the small bed, it was cool.

Qianye was very sleepy before, and went to sleep without going to see Karen when she returned home. Maybe Karen was gone by then.

Chiba immediately called Kotomine Kirei, but no one answered, so Chiba had to send a text message.

It was still pitch black outside, Chiba searched around the house for a mile or two, but found nothing except a few night owls.

When returning to the house, the sky was already dark, Chiba wanted to drag Emiya Kiritsugu up to accompany her to look for it, but when the door was opened, there was no one on the bed, only a photo was left, which was Chiba and Emiya Kiritsugu going out to play last year When I was here, I took photos on the side of the road.

There is a line of words written on the back of the photo.

【Don't trust Kotomine Kirei too much】

elder brother?

Emiya Kiritsugu's warnings were endless, Kotomine Kirei always knew that Chiba had a teacher who taught her firearms, and also proposed to meet her, but Emiya Kiritsugu refused.

Emiya Kiritsugu is a cautious person, if he can remind Chiba like this, he must have discovered something wrong.

Qianye's mind suddenly flashed a year ago in the hospital, the conversation between his brother and sister-in-law in the ward.

There was the sound of the door opening behind him, and Chiba subconsciously turned around. Kotomine Kirei, whom he hadn't seen for a week, was standing at the door, dressed in the same clothes as usual, with the same rigid and silent eyes as before, only a little more gaze towards Chiba There is absolutely no wantonness in normal times.

Like wild ambitions without shackles, they grow crazily with the rain and dew.

Chiba's heart froze, and the bell in Karen's hand unconsciously fell to the ground. The crisp sound of the bell woke Chiba up. In the house, the girl whose body subconsciously tensed up, maybe Chiba didn't even know that her body was one step ahead of her. The state of mind is prepared in advance for unknown dangers.

"Brother, Kallen is gone."

Qianye took a deep breath, her brows were full of worry.

"aunt……"

A small shout sounded, and behind Kotomine Kirei, a small figure leaned out. Karen, who was walking crookedly, wobbled, and she opened her arms to Chiba with a bright smile: "Auntie, hug!"

Chiba's pupils constricted, and the color imprinted on the bottom of his eyes seemed to have burned Chiba's eyes, and soon his eye sockets were red, and the crystal clear water filled those beautiful and clear eyes.

Kallen's body was covered with scars, red marks that had dried up, small and not fatal, even Chiba could smell the smell of medicine besides the smell of iron from her body.

Emiya Kiritsugu's warning refers to Karen?

"elder brother……"

Chiba's voice was dry.

Kotomine Kirei slowly closed the door, his deep and hoarse voice was extremely calm.

"She's not like her mother."

Kotomine Kirei lowered her eyes and stared at Kallen who was sitting on the ground due to lack of strength, she looked at Chiba blankly, as if she didn't understand why her aunt who loved her didn't come to hug her.

"It's worthless at all, and I'm going to send her up for adoption."

It was very strange, such Kotomine Kirei was very strange.

Not right.

It's just that we haven't seen each other for a week, why did it become like this, what did my brother do in the church?

In such a sacred place full of faith, it should be more firm and holy.

Kotomine Kirei has always been holy, he is the most loyal believer of the Lord.

His heart has never changed. He wanted to change and correct himself, but the Lord he believed in failed, and Claudia, whom he had hoped for, also failed.

Only Chiba remained in Kotomine Kirei's eyes, and he carefully looked at his sister's face, every emotion on that face, every emotional change in those eyes, every inch of color shade, all with ease. The emotions that Kotomine Kirei worked so hard to suppress loosened the soil on the surface like sprouting.

Eyelashes trembling from shock, eyes wet with tears, translucent and clear, mixed with strong colors, such strong fluctuations, how fascinating.

Kotomine Kirei cannot be cured, the more suffering others are, the happier he is, and the more wicked they are, the more he wants to touch them.

He actually began to expect that the expression of his lovely and charming sister when she cried and despaired would definitely make him very happy.

……

Karen was sent to a priest in a church far away in Germany.

Karen was born in Germany back then, and her household registration also fell in Germany. Perhaps since then, Kotomine Kirei has no plans to keep Karen.

The church has become extremely busy in the past two years, just because the Holy Grail War is coming.

Magicians who want to get the Holy Grail have already started looking for their favorite holy relics everywhere, and what's more, they have been preparing for it since a few years ago.

Chiba successfully graduated from the academy three months ago. In the past three years, everyone in Chiba who was able to skip a grade skipped a grade and took all the credits he could get. Tomorrow Xun always said that Chiba was stimulated, otherwise why did he graduate so early.

Emiya Kiritsugu still couldn't find his favorite holy relic, not long ago he told Chiba that he gave up looking for the holy relic, because Einzbern had already prepared a holy relic for him.

"I wanted to ask you before, who is your favorite heroic spirit, why can't you find it after searching for so long?"

Emiya Kiritsugu on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and said, "Knight of the Spear, Diarmuid Odiye."

Diarmuid?

Chiba was stunned for a moment, thinking about Diarmuid's character, "Uncle actually likes knights of justice?"

"That man has already abandoned justice. I thought you should have a good understanding of this kind of literary knowledge. After all, it is a very famous fairy tale."

Chiba vaguely remembered what Asuka had said about Diarmuid after her death.

The once righteous knight who fell into a monster.

If he was summoned by a heroic spirit and came here...

Qianye covered her lips, feeling inexplicably troublesome.

After all, she is also preparing to participate in the Holy Grail War. As the master, Chiba is a member of the church, and has been exposed to a lot of church affairs in the past few years. Naturally, Chiba learned something about the Holy Grail War from Kotomine Risei rule.

It's just that the holy relic is a little troublesome.

But this problem was quickly resolved.

Although the holy relic she found was somewhat special, the moment Qianye saw it, she killed the person who came to deliver the holy relic with a sullen face, and then immediately went to the church to check the information to find out the source of the holy relic.

It was in the collection of a jeweler's home in Italy. It was discovered by the church and bought back at a high price.

Even the church has different methods of collecting holy relics. The type of Chiba who can solve the problem by killing people and resolutely not talking nonsense is relatively rare in the church.

But this time, this holy relic plunged Qianye into indescribable surprise and doubt.

Because it was her sister Aphrodite's favorite mirror.
