  A kind of dress that is frequently used in magic associations, there are many examples of gifts given by teachers or parents as souvenirs in coming-of-age ceremonies.

  The origin of this sword is the Azoth sword that appeared in Paracelsus, a man who built the foundation of modern alchemy at the beginning of the Renaissance.

  The hilt of the sword he often carried was encrusted with a ball of jade, and it is said that the enigmatic word "Azoth" was written on the jade.

  In addition, there are legends that the ivory container of the sword and sword is filled with the stone of the sage, which once turned coal into gold and cured diseases in an instant. There are also rumors that it is not a sword but a staff.

  Tokiomi picked up the dagger that was placed on the table, then left the magic workshop, and put it into a black rectangular wooden box that had been prepared earlier.

  Ding dong————!

  The doorbell rang at this moment, Tokiomi roughly guessed who was coming, and a smile appeared on his face.

  Although it was a visitor at an unusual time, Tosaka Tokiomi quickly put down the hand that was rubbing the hilt of the sword and put it back into the long and thin wooden box.

  Then, he walked through the living room, came to the entrance, and opened the door.

  Standing in the doorway was a man in a black monastic uniform. His face had no expression at all, but Tokiomi had long been used to Kirei's expressionless expression.

  "Welcome, Kirei, I'm waiting for you."

Chapter 72

  At this time, Kirei bowed deeply to Tokiomi with the gift of master and apprentice.

  "Before I leave Fuyuki, I want to say something to you, teacher, and say goodbye to you."

  "That's it... I'm in a hurry. I also feel a great pity to part with you in such a way."

  Tokiomi said so though.But there was no guilt look on his face.

  This is also of course.

  Tokiomi knew in his heart that Kotomine Kirei was just a chess piece borrowed by the Tohsaka family from the Sanctuary Church.

  And for Kirei, the Holy Grail War didn't have any reward, it was just a mission assigned from above and had to participate.

  From this point of view, the separation between Kirei and Tokiomi is neither rejection nor betrayal, but a liberation from duty, and the special farewell is just out of etiquette.

  "I'm going to take a flight to Europe at dawn. First of all, I have to deliver my father's relics to the headquarters. I may not be able to return to Japan for the time being."

  "Oh... come in, do you still have time to talk a little bit?"

  "Hmm. It's okay."

  Kirei controlled his inner feelings and stepped into the Tohsaka house's gate again.

  "The more you want to leave, the more reluctant I feel. In any case, I hope you can inherit the legacy of your father Rizheng and continue to help my Tohsaka family achieve their long-cherished wish..."

  Although there is no one else in the Tokiomi mansion except Tokiomi, the reception room is still spotlessly clean.

  Maybe he manipulated some low-level spirit to do the cleaning work, and he was still able to maintain such calmness even in such a fierce battle.

  'As expected of Tokiomi. '

  Kirei thought so.

  Of course, if Kirei knew about Tokiomi's performance in the magic studio, he might not think so.

  "It's a pity that your actions against the Einzbern family failed, but I can understand your intentions are good."

  "Maybe this is the way the agent acts, but I hope you can report the situation to me in a timely manner before and after the action, so that I can be a little bit prepared."

  Tokiomi's tolerant attitude made Kirei's head bow even deeper.

  "I'm really ashamed to have caused so much trouble to you at the last moment."

  Kirei raised his head, saw the sincere and sincere look in Tokiomi's eyes, and said to himself.

  "It is indeed because of the Holy Grail War that we met, but in any case, I am very proud to have a disciple like you."

  Hearing this, Kirei couldn't control his emotions and couldn't help laughing.

  But Tokiomi, who didn't understand his disciple's intentions at all, still said sincerely.

  "Although something like talent cannot be forced, your earnest attitude towards cultivation as a seeker makes me admire even as a teacher, Kirei, from now on you will be just like your father, continuing to guarantee me How about fighting for the interests of the Tohsaka family?"

  "I can't ask for it."

  Kirei smiled slightly and nodded.

  And Tokiomi, who had misunderstood his disciple's personality and inner world for the past three years, now misunderstood the meaning of Kirei's smile.

  So he said more happily.

  "You are a reassuring person. I want my daughter to learn from you a lot. After this Holy Grail War is over, Kirei, you should guide her as Rin's master."

  Then Tokiomi took a letter that had been in the corner of the table long ago and handed it to Kirei.

  "...Tutor, this is?"

  "Although it's relatively simple to write, it's still something like a suicide note."

  Tokiomi said that while smiling helplessly.

  "In case, although the probability is very low, it may happen. In case something happens to me, I am writing here that the head of the Tohsaka family will be handed over to Rin."

  "And you will be her guardian until she reaches adulthood. As long as you hand over this letter to the 'Clock Tower', the association will naturally come forward to handle the rest."

  This time, Kirei finally not only perfunctory verbally, but seriously accepts the responsibility that Tokiomi entrusted to him from the bottom of his heart.

  After all, Kirei is also a priesthood.

  It is his duty to perform honestly and steadfastly the responsibilities entrusted to him by others.

  "Please leave it to me, even if the disciple's ability is limited, he will definitely do his best to take on the responsibility of taking care of your daughter."

  "Thank you, Kirei."

  Although the words were short, the deep gratitude contained in them could be heard.

  Tokiomi then took a black slender wooden box next to the letter and gave it to Kirei...  

  "Open it and take a look, this is my personal gift to you."

  Kirei opened the box, and inside the velvet-decorated interior was neatly placed an exquisite short sword.

  "This is……"

  "The "Sword of Azoth" is made of ancestral gemstones. It can be used as a dress after being filled with magic power. Use this as a proof that you have practiced the magic of the Tohsaka family and graduated as an apprentice."

  "..."

  Kirei held the dagger in his hand and looked at it carefully, his eyes fell on the sharp edge of the dagger and did not move away for a long time.

  Kirei's completely expressionless face, in Tokiomi's eyes, seemed to be full of gratitude.

  "My teacher... Your care and high expectations for me are really unrewarding."

  "You are the best reward for me. Kotomine Kirei. This way I can go to the final battle without any worries."

  Tokiomi said with a clear smile, then stood up from the sofa.

  "I'm really sorry for delaying you for so long, are you still in time for the plane—"

  The moment he uttered those words, the sudden stinging pain made it difficult for Tokiomi's eyes to focus.

  He looked down, but found that the "Sword of Azoth" that he had just given him had penetrated through his heart at this moment.

  The blade laced with blood was flowing black and red, Tokiomi opened his pupils wide, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything with his half-opened lips.

  "No, you don't have to worry, teacher, there is no plane itinerary..."

  Seeing that the human body with a confused expression collapsed, Kirei opened his mouth slowly, and then burst out laughing frantically with a pain in his stomach.

  "Pfft...haha, why...hahahaha...hahaha...why so...hahahaha!!!"

  This was probably the most joyous and joyous time Kirei had laughed since he was born.

  He smiled and bent down, half squatting on the floor.

  "Obviously the dirty act of assassinating my own teacher, why does my heart... feel so happy, as if my entire chest is filled with a wonderful sense of refreshment...!".

Chapter 73

  Next to Tokiomi's corpse, which gradually lost its temperature, a dazzling aura suddenly surged, and Gilgamesh, shining brightly, materialized in front of Kirei.

  "Hmph, what a disappointing ending."

  With a look of contempt in his red eyes, Gilgamesh tapped the corpse of his former Master with his toes.

  "I'm also looking forward to his death-defying counterattack. Look, with his blank expression, he didn't realize his stupidity until the end."

  "Because there is a spirit-like Servant around, it's not unreasonable to relax our vigilance."

  Hearing Kirei's sarcasm, Gilgamesh laughed out loud.

  "Hahaha, have you learned to joke so quickly? Kirei, your progress is really rapid."

  At this time, Kirei's expression changed from joyful to serious, and then looked at Gilgamesh.

  "Do you really have no objection to this? "King of Heroes" Gilgamesh?"

  "Hmph, to use a Command Spell when I'm not ready, it's not a pity for such a bastard to die," Gilgamesh said. 18

  "Furthermore, Kirei, before I get tired of you, and after I don't have any interest in you, you will end up the same as Tokiomi who is lying here. The one who is enlightened should be you."

  Although Gilgamesh's answer was very sharp, Kirei still nodded without showing any signs of wavering.

  Without hesitation, he opened his sleeves, revealing the Command Spell engraved on his wrist, and then recited majestically.

  "Your body is mine, and my destiny is your sword! In the name of the Holy Grail, follow my will—"
