My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 67 Night Talks in the Church

Kotomine Kirei fled all the way back to the Holy Church.

His left abdomen has been bleeding because of the erosion of imaginary number particles.

But he didn't dare to treat it, to be precise, he didn't dare to use magic to treat it.

Once the magical aura is exposed... that young man may find him.

The ferocious posture of the golden-eyed youth flashed across his mind, causing a pang of remorse to well up in Kirei's heart.

Unexpectedly, Sakuyue would have such a murderous intention towards him, and even abandon Emiya Kiritsugu who almost shot him, but also attack him, it was really a big mistake.

But why?

Even after voluntarily sacrificing Assassin, Kotomine Kirei still didn't dare to relax, and returned to the sheltered church as quickly as possible, shedding blood dripping along the way, and in the end even double images appeared in his eyes.

"Kirei? What happened!"

A vague but familiar voice came to his ears, and the agent who had lost too much blood fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

Just before he fell into a coma, he felt something break in his heart.

That is, the contract.

----

After a short period of turmoil, the Church of the Holy Church fell into calm again.

Kotomine Kirei was walking in the quiet corridor, his eyes were calm, and he was thinking about something.

The wound on the waist has been completely healed, and his teacher Tokiomi spared no effort to use the treasured gems, which not only healed the wound, but also eliminated the deficiency caused by the imaginary number particles to the human body.The current Kotomine Kirei is undoubtedly at his peak.

But from the perspective of the Holy Grail, the Master named "Kotomine Kirei" is falling into a dangerous situation.

Just now, with the joint confirmation of Kotomine Risei, the supervisor of the Holy Church Church, and Tosaka Tokiomi, the heir of the Gosan family and the participant of the Holy Grail War, they had to face a painful fact-the core of their early plan, The one-man intelligence network: Assassin, was confirmed just now to be wiped out.

The killer, Master Sakuzuki,

The so-called Holy Grail War is an intelligence war before the decisive battle. The absence of Assassin is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Tohsaka Tokiomi, which means that he has lost his greatest advantage and can only use the most basic familiars to investigate Intelligence, efficiency is greatly reduced.

Even so, this elegant man in a red suit didn't blame others, and he didn't even pursue Kotomine Kirei's unauthorized actions. After a brief gaffe, he suppressed the bad news in his heart and turned to comfort him. Called the "depressed" Kotomine Kirei, and kindly asked him to go back to his room to rest.

This kind of demeanor is worthy of the head of the Tohsaka family who inherited the family motto of "always be elegant".

If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely throw yourself down with shame and gratitude, be overwhelmed by this man's charm, and go through fire and water, no hesitation.

But Kotomine Kirei is not this kind of person, his concern for Tosaka Tokiomi is not false, his heart is as stagnant as stagnant water.

The priest in his cassock stopped in his tracks.

No, there are indeed.

There was indeed a ripple in his heart at a certain moment.

But... that was the moment when his mentor lost his grace when he learned of Assassin's death.

Kotomine Kirei realized his almost instinctive desire at that time.

I want to appreciate this distressed expression more, appreciate this kind of... pain that belongs to others.

!!!

Reason finally returned belatedly. After realizing his thoughts, Kotomine Kirei's first reaction was not to admit it, but to lock it firmly in his heart, in a place that even his memory couldn't reach. place.

"Lord..." subconsciously chanted the Bible, but such a prayer was hollower than the wind passing through the corridor.

But no matter what, with the help of the Lord, Kirei once again avoided his true nature.

After the emptiness in his heart faded slightly, the man who suppressed his thoughts sighed and pushed open the door of his room.

Immediately, Kirei fell into an unnatural feeling, as if he had entered someone else's room by mistake.

It's not that there is any difference in the smell or temperature, but that the sense of environment described by the word atmosphere has changed significantly.Kirei's room, which was originally very simple, was filled with a luxurious and elegant atmosphere, as if it had become a room in a palace pavilion.

Of course, the furnishings and lighting in the room have not changed at all, simply because there is a man leaning leisurely on the bench.

"...Archer?"

Wearing a fur-trimmed enamel bright leather jacket and paired with a pair of leather pants, the modern-style golden Heroic Spirit held a goblet and smiled secretly at Kotomine Kirei.

Like a taboo snake entrenched in the Garden of Eden, spitting out snake letters.

----

Fiery blond hair and ruby-red eyes.That person was none other than Tohsaka Tokiomi's servant—the Hero King Gilgamesh.

Since being summoned, this heroic spirit has been traveling around at will with the ability to act alone.Recently, she has even intensified her physical appearance, and even changed into "casual clothes" and walked on the street swaggeringly.Kirei had once heard Tokiomi talk about this matter with a whining tone, but he never expected that Gilgamesh would actually come to his room.

Archer didn't care at all about trespassing in other people's rooms, and poured the red wine taken out of the cabinet without authorization into a glass, and tasted it gracefully.

"Although the quantity is small, the treasures here are more complete than Tokiomi's wine cellar. What a terrible apprentice."

"..." Kirei couldn't tell what the other party's intention was for the visit, he saw that the table was full of wine bottles, it seemed that he had taken out all the wine in the room, and seemed to be tasting wine.

It may seem surprising to others.Kirei has a quirk, as long as he hears that there is a top quality wine, he will buy it first regardless of the three seven twenty one.

Alcohol is a profound world that feels endless as you pay more attention to quality.That being the case, maybe there will be a certain sense of taste that can fill the void in Kirei's heart.Indulging in alcohol is not bad, if there is such an encounter—the cornered monk had thought half-seriously.

But so far, his dabbling in wine has never been rewarded, only more and more bottles of some luxury brands.Of course, he never thought of entertaining guests with these wines, let alone an uninvited guest, even if the other party praised his wine, he would not want to entertain such a person.

"What's the matter with you?" Kirei asked patiently.

"It's nothing, I'm just interested in you." Archer gazed at Kirei meaningfully through the wine glass.

"How? You can't satisfy your heart even if you have been obeying Tokiomi's orders?"

"...Now, are you dissatisfied with the contract? Gilgamesh." Kirei didn't answer Archer's question, but just asked him back with a cold face.

Even if the opponent is the legendary King of Heroes, Kirei doesn't feel afraid at all.Regardless of Tokiomi's personal thoughts, the servant is still the Master's servant after all.No matter who this heroic spirit is, as long as he is still Archer, he is just an existence subordinate to Tokiomi.Comparing with himself as Tokiomi's direct disciple, at most, it is only the same seniority standpoint, there is no need to be overly humble to him.

Kirei's attitude didn't make Archer feel dissatisfied, he just snorted coldly and tasted the fine wine in the glass.

"It was Shichen who summoned this king, and this body can be maintained in the present world because of the offerings made by time ministers. More importantly, what he did to this king was the courtesy of a minister, and it is not impossible for this king to respond to him."

After saying this polite and unexpected sentence, Gilgamesh's unusually bloody eyes revealed a look of boredom.

"But to be honest, I didn't expect him to be such a boring person. He has no meaning at all."

"...It's a surprise that a follower would say such a thing."

Kirei was too surprised, the anger towards Archer's attitude in his heart, and the suspicion that he didn't know the real purpose of his visit had gradually subsided.Under this wonderful relaxed atmosphere, Kirei almost allowed Archer to occupy a place in this room.

So they started talking.

Starting with Kotomine Kirei's mentor, Tosaka Tokiomi, they shook their red wine glasses and discussed the Holy Grail, magicians, the Church of the Holy Church... and finally even the "root" and the inside of the world were mentioned.

Not only that, looking at Archer who declared "I am indeed satisfied as long as I enjoy this great universe belonging to my garden", Kotomine Kirei secretly sensed that some kind of fate was approaching.

In the past, Archer had countless opportunities to break into this place and chat with him, but this king did not do so.

Then, why only at this time, tonight when Tohsaka Tokiomi used a command spell to control his actions, did the oldest King of Heroes come to him?
"I'm just interested in you." As if aware of Kotomine Kirei's question, Gilgamesh repeated his initial statement, drained the glass in his hand, and asked casually:

"Kirei, what about you then? What wish do you have for the Holy Grail?"

Hearing Archer's question, Kirei felt that he didn't know how to answer for the first time.

"I—" Yes, this is the biggest problem.Why did the stigmata appear on Kotomine Kirei's right hand?
"I... don't have any particular wish to fulfill..." Kirei replied with a bit of confusion. When Archer heard this, a strange light flashed in his red eyes. "

"That's impossible. Doesn't the Holy Grail call only those who are worthy of it?"

"It should be like this. But... I don't understand. I don't have ideals that I want to achieve, nor do I have long-cherished wishes that should be achieved. Why was I selected to participate in this war?"

"Is this kind of question so difficult?" Archer chuckled lightly, as if mocking the sullen Kirei. "There are neither ideals nor long-cherished wishes. Then, wouldn't it be good to just pursue pleasure?

"How can this be done!" Kirei's tone subconsciously became irritable.

"You mean me, who serves God, to pursue pleasure—to be tainted with that sinful depravity? Archer!"

　The command spell system in FZ and FSN has always been a mystery, and I can't figure out the relationship inside, so I simply set it like "the command spell will not disappear after the servant contract is broken", otherwise Rin-chan will be in the ubw line The situation is hard to explain, and there is no sufficient reason for Emiya Kiritsugu to kill Kenneth.
