Fate: I Was Defeated By Two Rituals At The Beginning

Emiya Kiritsugu was squatting beside the incense burner at Ryudouji Temple.

He mused with a tired look on his face.

It had been almost 40 hours since he last slept.

He has been looking for clues about Irisviel these past two days.

He first sneaked into Matou's house, where he interrogated Matou Tsuruno and learned that Matou Kariya and Kotomine Kirei had walked together.

So he concluded that it was Kotomine Kirei who captured Irisviel.

Kotomine Kirei took away Irisviel simply because he wanted to perform the Holy Grail descending ceremony.

If you want to hold this ceremony, it must be carried out in the four major spiritual veins of this city.

Then he went to Tosaka's house, but there was no one there.

I went to the Holy Church, but no one was there. When I went back this morning, the Holy Church was actually destroyed.

Of the four major spiritual veins, only two are left, one is the Liudong Temple where he is sitting now, and there is still no one here.

Only the Citizen's Hall was left, but it was easy to attack and difficult to defend. All you had to do was send a familiar to check it out. Even if Kotomine Kirei held the ceremony there in the end, he went head-on and held it.

However, because Kuu Maiya was rescued by Jiang Yihong, although her injuries had not healed yet, she still insisted on going to the Citizen's Hall to monitor herself.

Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that the women around him would eventually leave him. He actually felt that Jiang Yihong had the ability to save people. If he could 08 be like him, wouldn't there be so many tragedies? ....

At this time, Artoria walked over with a dejected look on her face. Although she still looked majestic, the Ling Ran look in her eyes was gone.

"Since last night, I have searched every corner of the city looking for Irisviel, but I still haven't found any clues.

"I'm sorry..." Arturia walked in front of the incense burner, lowered her head and said guiltily.

But Kotomine Kirei still lowered his head and ignored her at all.

So Artoria said in a bored tone: "I'm leaving first. If you encounter any situation, use the command spell to summon me like before."

Immediately afterwards, she left.

In the sewers of this city.

Kotomine Kirei is waiting here for nightfall.

This place is the place where he summoned Assassin. It is hidden enough that no one can discover it.

Gilgamesh left because he hated the smell of sewers.

So he is alone here thinking about countermeasures.

Saber and Rider are powerful opponents. Needless to say, all you need to do is wait for them to fight each other to find the winner, and then let Archer destroy them with EX Noble Phantasm.

The only trouble now is that damn Jiang Yihong.

Originally, after Matou Kariya collapsed, he could use his Berserker as a puppet, thus eliminating the need to restrain Archer.

But it was destroyed by Jiang Yihong.

And Jiang Yihong himself still has that damn turtle shell Caster.

What a hassle!

A sudden painful groan interrupted his thoughts.

He then walked to a dark corner, where a doll named Irisviel was lying.

Although she is as beautiful as an angel, she is just an inhuman toy after all.

Because she was in the stage of collapse, Kotomine Kirei arranged a magic circle for her to provide her with the weak magic power here.

Although he could open up her belly and take out the Holy Grail inside, Kotomine Kirei was reluctant because he still had many questions to ask about this damn toy.

"Woman, are you awake?" Kotomine Kirei shouted.

Irisviel sat up with difficulty and looked at him with hostility: "Kotomine... Kirei.

"This place is secluded enough. It's very suitable for hiding criminals. Even Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't find it here. Oh, and that damn famous detective couldn't find it either!"

"The Holy Grail War will soon be decided. I guess the long-cherished wish of your Einzbern family will be realized by me." Kotomine Kirei said with a proud look on his face.

This caused Irisviel's face to be filled with disgust.

"Are you dissatisfied with me?" Kotomine Kirei smiled.

"I will only entrust the Holy Grail to one person! That person is definitely not you, executioner!"

Irisviel was sweating profusely, and she shouted with difficulty: "Emiya Kiritsugu has seen through you, and he regards you as his biggest enemy, so be mentally prepared!"

"This is good news to me!" Kotomine Kirei smiled with satisfaction.

"Emiya Kiritsugu is indeed the man I imagined."

"How ridiculous!" Irisviel scolded: "You are obviously the furthest thing from him!"

"What did you say?" Kotomine Kirei asked in surprise.

"Kiritsugu can see through you, but you can't understand him!"

"You can't have anything in his heart." Irisviel said with a proud smile.

Kotomine Kirei suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

He grabbed Irisviel's neck and cursed: "What qualifications do you have to judge me!"

"I admit that I am an empty person, but what is the difference between him and me?"

"The man who has devoted himself to unrewarding battles all year round and can only repeat killings has strayed from the norm and achieved nothing.

Isn’t he just a lost lamb?”

The more Kotomine Kirei talked, the more excited he became. He strangled Irisviel's soft neck tightly, causing Irisviel to moan in pain.

Then he threw Irisviel away in anger.

Then roared: "Answer me!"

"Emiya Kiritsugu, why is he pursuing the Holy Grail? What is his wish?"

Irisviel, who was already very weak, felt like she was about to die if she was tortured by him again. She gasped in pain and held her neck to stop the injured delicate skin.

She was so uncomfortable that her eyebrows furrowed into eyebrows.

Kotomine Kirei also waited patiently for her to recover.

Then, although she felt uncomfortable, she said firmly: "Okay, then I will tell you.

"Kiritsugu's long-cherished wish is... to save humanity!"

She flipped her hair gracefully and beautifully, and continued with a happy face:

"End all wars and bloodshed, and achieve world peace forever and ever."

When she said the last words, Irisviel's face was filled with 530 hope, and the beauty she revealed could not help but make people stunned.

After hearing this, Kotomine Kirei was immediately speechless.

"What is this?"

"It is impossible to understand that this is the difference between you and him, that is, the existence of faith."

After saying that, she couldn't hold on any longer and lay on the ground uncomfortably.

"Struggle is the essence of human beings. To eradicate struggle is to eradicate humanity. This cannot be considered an ideal at all. This is simply a child's dream talk!" Kotomine Kirei angrily yelled.

"That's why he placed his hope on the Holy Grail. In order to pursue his dream, that person is always forced to give up the one he loves..." Irisviel said uncomfortably while lying on the ground.

"Yes, as a dream chaser, Kiritsugu is too kind. Even though he knows that he will lose, he still can't help but love others."

Kotomine Kirei was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

So this is Emiya Kiritsugu?

Emiya Kiritsugu is completely different from him. He feels empty and pursues his own meaning.

But Emiya Kiritsugu took the initiative to abandon his own meaning!

This man obviously has everything he envies, but he never cherishes it. Damn it!

I want to destroy his ideals!

"Well, according to what you said, isn't he a Neptune?" Jiang Yihong said while squatting next to Kotomine Kirei with a popsicle in his mouth.

This frightened Kotomine Kirei into retreating three meters.

"Jiang Yihong, why are you here?"

Please give me flowers!
