[Fate][Gun Bow] Red and Blue Holy Grail War

Chapter 16

When Emiya Kiritsugu meets Kotomine Kirei, what kind of chemical reaction will there be?The answer is: "There will be no changes." Emiya Kiritsugu has always been highly wary of Kotomine Kirei, this priest who makes him feel dangerous just by browsing the written data, and instinctively judges that he must stay away. It's time to draw the gun!

The Magician Killer did exactly that.

However, there is a kind of person who is not afraid of bullets for his own pursuit.

Kotomine Kirei, who half-raised his hands to signal his surrender, put on a wooden face, although he slowed down, he was still approaching step by step.It wasn't until he felt that it was Emiya Kiritsugu's bottom line, and when he got closer, Kotomine Kirei showed a subtle expression of dissatisfaction, and stopped at that position with his waist straight.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, I have a question. You answer, and I will turn around and leave."

"...The representative of the church is wandering around late at night, isn't it to ask questions?" Emiya Kiritsugu's hand holding the gun was very steady, and his fingers were on the trigger.

Deliberately avoiding sensitive issues does not mean that he refuses to fight the "Master who should be disqualified" here.But it was a forced choice.

One asked the other party to answer questions, and the other changed the subject desperately.This is how the magician-killer communicates with the templar.

Emiya Kiritsugu thought that if he was procrastinating like this, when the other party gradually became impatient, he would always find a chance to escape.However, Kotomine Kirei was surprisingly patient in his pursuit of the solution to fill the emptiness in his heart. He just repeated the request over and over again, without acting aggressively or giving in at all.

The magician killer made a mistake, he underestimated the degree of persistence of the priest.If it weren't for the alarm bells ringing in his heart, telling him that this is a question that is very likely to cause an accident after answering, and Emiya Kiritsugu who is a little annoyed by Kotomine's gummies, would really consider exchanging an answer for Kotomine Kirei to leave automatically !

──It’s not like he went out on purpose to look affectionately at someone with blind eyes!

Thinking this way, Kiritsugu, who had to go out and observe with the naked eye to grasp the rhythm of the war, decided to temporarily abandon the investigation and make amends afterwards because the magic power of the place where the accident happened was too strong and violent, causing the magic to approach, and electronic equipment would be disturbed and unable to be used. , the decision to try to escape unscathed first.

Unexpectedly, Kotomine Kirei said this in the next sentence: "Answer my question, I will tell you what happened to Matou."

With this level of insight into other people's minds, there is not much difference between the terror index and mind reading skills.

"I reject."

"Why?" Kotomine Kirei leaned his upper body slightly forward, as if he wanted to get closer, "A question that has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War, exchange for a piece of information about the Holy Grail War—promise is beneficial to you."

"It's because it's beneficial." Emiya Kiritsugu said an excuse that he didn't even believe.

The two of them are actually not calm at this time, but they are equally calm on the outside.Because of the explosion point of magic power in the distance, the magic power of the riot like boiling water gradually calmed down... It seems that the incident is about to come to an end.But here, it is obvious that no one has the consciousness to take a step back.

If there is no opportunity to break the status quo and intervene, these two men all in black will probably continue to confront each other endlessly in the dark at night, in a dim place where the street lights cannot reach.

Fortunately, tonight, Destiny obviously didn't want to appreciate such a silly farce. Kotomine Kirei heard the words read from Assassin: "Master Kirei, your teacher has something important to explain, I hope you will go to Tohsaka's house immediately."

Generally speaking, Mr. Priest, who is still a good young man, heard this, although the first thought that flashed was: "The answer can only be found out, don't go!" However, he was immediately caught by the false image he had put on himself for many years. Knocked down, and the words passed to Assassin to report back naturally became──

"Understood. I'll go back right away."

Anyway, Emiya Kiritsugu was in Fuyuki; anyway, before the Holy Grail War was decided, no one could chase that man away.Kotomine Kirei convinced himself with such reasons, and then left a threatening declaration: "I have something to do. I will come to you when I have time."

"You're welcome, you're still busy to death!"

I don't know the reason why the priest changed his mind suddenly, but the magician killer who didn't want to cause extra trouble immediately gave the other party a 100% sincere "blessing" in the form of brain waves.

He kept holding the gun in his hand until several minutes passed after the priest disappeared, and when he was sure that the crisis was really over, he silently stuffed it back into the holster.

Seconds later, the flame of a cigarette ignited in the shadows.

"Bai came out for a trip..." someone said so.

Tohsaka Residence.living room.

Tohsaka Tokiomi was sitting, unconsciously rubbing the head of the gemstone staff with his hand, and occasionally, his eyes would fall on his daughter who looked like a doll with dull eyes; Matou Kariya was also sitting, although he had tidied up a little The bloodstains left on his body still showed how badly he had vomited blood; Matou Sakura was also sitting, instinctively driving her to snuggle up to Matou Kariya, without saying a word or moving.

The sluggish atmosphere at the scene even reached the point where it could affect unrelated people.

They went out this trip, and the result was demolition of Matou's house and taking back Matou Ying.The price is that Tokiomi's Command Seal is left with one swipe, and Gengen's dream has become a fantasy; in order to support Berserker, Kariya's body has been overdrawn again, and he doesn't know how many years he will lose his life?There was nothing he could do to raise Sakura up.

"……what to do……"

The man in the red blazer and the gray-blue jacket spoke in unison.It's just that they were immersed in their own thoughts, and they didn't realize the coherence of this moment at all.

The spiritualized Berserker, no one knows how he is feeling at this time?Cu Chulainn was leaning against the low cabinet by the wall, with a look of disgust on his face, making it clear that he did not want to get close to the place where the sofa and coffee table were shrouded in a halo of depression.

Emiya made black tea and brought it to the table.

But he didn't intend to join the small circle, he just shared a cup for each person, and then picked up the black tea for two people, and went to Cu Chulainn naturally.

"Thanks."

Basically, the blue heroic spirit, who never refuses the food brought by the other party, immediately picked up the teacup and took a sip first.Smacking his lips, he asked in a low voice, "Didn't you propose to come here?"

"The following is not my home field." The red heroic spirit narrowed his eyes slightly with a serious expression.Just now in the kitchen, the King of Heroes turned a corner and confirmed with him about a certain projection treasure.

Thinking of everyone, the gorgeous golden particles that suddenly appeared outlined the human figure, and the King of Heroes sat down on the single sofa in a light suit, completely immune to the halo of depression.

With a simple action, the master's style is fully displayed.He looked at his Master, and said leisurely, "Without the king's permission, you made your own decision and wanted to withdraw from this Holy Grail War? Then you are waiting for Kirei, what extra arrangements do you want to make? Tokiomi .”

"No! My king." Tokiomi immediately stood up, bowed, and emphasized solemnly and elegantly: "Don't you want to take back the Holy Grail? Kirei will definitely be the best help!"

The king will not become a vassal, Tosaka Tokiomi has already personally proved this point.Therefore, even though he actually wanted to transfer the Master status to his own people, Tokiomi did not forget the language art of "reversing the words"──"Change a subject" and "Change a master", presumably The former is more likely to be accepted by the King of Heroes.

So unequal intelligence is bad.

If the split spirit here is still dominated by a characteristic that is amplified by the King of Heroes, it may be against Tosaka Tokiomi, because Kotomine Kirei, who has countless records proving that his personality is flawed, can always arouse Jill Gamesh's interest; it's a pity that the King of Heroes has lost interest in the "Fourth Holy Grail War" itself.

"Even if it is. It is not your turn to control the king's will! Tokiomi."

Gilgamesh certainly wasn't angry, but he didn't think Tohsaka Tokiomi's instant sense of crisis was his own illusion.The reason is simple, the King of Heroes is obviously dissatisfied with his self-assertion.

……

"Tokiomi Tohsaka hasn't given up on the ideal of reaching the root." Emiya initiates the recitation, and the target is naturally Cu Chulainn.

"If you give up easily, there won't be as many Holy Grail Wars as the Yusanjia. For them, that is the ultimate ideal that they would rather be obsessed with and pursue! Therefore, magicians will not believe that the world can allow the Holy Grail War to exist. , but does not allow anyone to reach the root... Heh, dreams and desires, to put it bluntly, are just the difference between positive and negative nature..." The blue heroic spirit said casually until he realized that the sight from his side was not quite right──

"Huh? Emiya?"

"...It's okay, you were suddenly possessed by Caster, I was shocked." The guardian came back to his senses.

"Hey, it's too much! I already have intellectual qualities! Who is possessed!" The big blue dog frowned dissatisfied.

"Oh, Caster has turned back into a Lancer again. Ruler." The owner, who was not afraid of being bitten, added fuel to the fire, but he didn't forget to stretch his ears to listen to the movement of the King of Heroes.

On the other side, after expressing his dissatisfaction with Tohsaka Tokiomi in different ways, Gilgamesh changed the subject and concluded directly: "Forget it. For the sake of your dedication, the king will be merciful." Forgive you this time. The new vassal will be chosen by myself! Faker like that over there is not bad!"

The wayward king really had such an idea!At this moment, Emiya just wanted to cover her face, completely avoiding eye contact with Lord Tohsaka.

Being misunderstood and secretly NTRing the King of Heroes is really hurting the soul and the body, he can't afford it, okay?That Golden Pickup is more likely to use a contract to get a positioning coordinate on him!Do you just want to follow the world lines?How boring!

Emiya could only swallow the truth that was inconvenient to say, and then met Tohsaka Tokiomi's elegant and reserved "You fake referee" eyes.

──Speaking of which, are those who are in collusion with the church really qualified to protest on the grounds of unfair refereeing?Such thoughts flashed through the guardian's mind.

"Master Tohsaka, Mr. Matou, I am now confirming as the Master of Ruler. Do you want to continue the Holy Grail War, or just quit? If you choose to quit and sign a self-compulsory certificate in triplicate with me, Ruler's privilege can be Let Berserker protect you until the end of the Holy Grail War."

Ignoring him, not looking at him, not thinking about him, Emiya was engrossed in her script.All the words were said by the hero king himself, and he never agreed!Not even a "huh"!

Kariya, who was always in front of the competent set, was no longer silent when he heard the topic came to him, "How do you want Berserker to protect us at the same time?"

"You hold the command spell, and Tohsaka will be in charge of the demon offering." The guardian said from the point of view of the gun team, "Berserker's poor performance is largely due to the limitation of the supply of magic power. As long as the offering is sufficient , he is more than enough to protect you.”

Listening to the obviously prepared speech, Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at Emiya with a deeper look.In his view, this is the Master of Ruler's unwillingness to be excluded from the Holy Grail wish list, and he has made efforts and attempts for this purpose: contract more Servants who are qualified to hold the Holy Grail, such as Archer.

It's a pity that he didn't realize it in advance, and came to this step again.

Now the situation is stronger than others, Archer's heart is no longer towards him, and Kirei has not rushed over for some reason... As the head of a big family who can support a large family, Tokiomi understands that at this time, he will voluntarily give up the last Command Seal Forming a good relationship is far better than killing a fish and breaking a net!What's more, didn't he decide to put his hope in future generations?

"I... can promise." Rin and Sakura are so talented, even without the Holy Grail──

On the contrary, Matou Kariya didn't think that far, he had no desire for the Holy Grail at all, he only knew that Matou Zouken was not dead, and Sakura couldn't be said to be truly safe.

"I don't have a better way...to protect Sakura. So I agree."

Those who have been rescued are the top priority.

His body couldn't do much more.

At this time, Matou Kariya made a decisive choice among all the things he wanted to accomplish with a calmness that he himself did not expect to have.

"Then sign the contract."

At the same time, where is Kirei who Tokiomi thought was caught by an accident and couldn't make it in time?In fact, he was not far away at all, just outside the protective barrier of the Tohsaka mansion, and by sharing the vision with Assassin, he actively watched the whole process of Ruler adjusting Berserker's demon offering with command spells.

"...Next... what should I do?"

Thinking about the answer, Kotomine Kirei decided to run around first, counting the number of brainwashing targets he caught along the way.Wait for the Ruler group to leave, and then go back to see your teacher.
