As a Ninja, I Just Want to Eat Soft Rice in the Moon

The art of psychic!

Higashino slapped his palm on the ground, and after a puff of white smoke, a fist-sized toad appeared on the spot.

"Tell me everything you saw last night."

"Quack quack..."

Following Toad's description, Higashino Zuo gradually depicted what happened in his mind.

Last night, Director Ken led Finn into the territory of Einzbern. Finn and Black Hairless fought in the forest outside the castle, while Director Ken went to the castle alone to fight with Emiya. He singled out.

The story was normal up to this point, but what happened next was beyond Higashino Kanao's expectations.

Toad couldn't get in because of the barrier in the castle, so he could only watch from the outside.

Not long after Director Ken entered the castle, Emiya Kiritsugu escaped covered in blood, and Director Ken followed closely behind and started chasing and killing Emiya Kiritsugu.

Hei Wu Mao had never beaten Finn before. After Hei Wu Mao fired a few shots, Hei Wu Mao seemed to be in a state of lack of mana, and was pressed and beaten by Finn all the time.

If there is no accident, the Saber group will be successfully singled out by Director Ken.

But just when Director Ken was about to succeed, Kotomine Kirei came out, dragged Director Ken back, and bought time for Emiya Kiritsugu to escape, and Hei Wufu was also summoned away by a Command Seal last night. The battle ended with Director Ken's complete victory.

"Director Ken actually defeated Kiritsugu, that's unscientific!" Higashino couldn't help exclaiming after hearing this.

In the original book, Director Ken was brutally abused by Kiritsugu. Not only was his magic circuit destroyed, but he and his fiancée were killed as well.

But last night the plot reversed, the person who was abused became Kiritsugu, Director Ken actually became the winner, why?

"Is it Finn's fault?"

Higashino thinks about it, and thinks that Director Ken changed the fate of the fiasco by relying on Finn, and only a hero with extraordinary wisdom like Finn can reverse the ending of Director Ken's almost inevitable defeat.

"The Lancer team is really strong this time. It seems that I have to get Director Ken out as soon as possible, otherwise there will be too many variables." Higashino thought for a moment, and decided to put the next target on Director Ken.

Compared with Jin Glitter, who has no brains, Finn, who has brains, is obviously a greater threat. It is better to leave the scene as soon as possible for this kind of variable.

"But why did Kotomine Kirei choose to help Emiya Kiritsugu? Was it just because he felt that Kiritsugu was his kind? Just to be on the safe side, I'd better call and ask."

Higashino took out the wireless pager used to communicate with Kotomine Kirei, and dialed his number.

Not long after, Kotomine Kirei's voice came from the pager.

"Higano-kun, what do you want from me?"

Higashinozo asked straight to the point: "Kirei, why did you help Emiya Kiritsugu hold Kenneth last night?"

"I……"

A moment of silence followed, Kotomine Kirei was so ashamed that he didn't know what words to use to face his only friend.

Kotomine Kirei is very clear that his ally is only Higashino Kanou, and the reason why he participated in the Holy Grail War was to help his friend win, but because of a momentary selfishness, he let go of his friend's enemy. kind of betrayal.

Chapter 184 182. Secret Talk on Kirei

Seeing that Kirei remained silent, Higashino Kou let out a long breath, and said proactively, "Is it because you realize that Emiya Kiritsugu is your kind, so you want to recognize yourself through Emiya Kiritsugu?"

"Higashino-kun, I really can't hide anything from you..." Kotomine Kirei squeezed the pager tightly, breathing a little short of breath.

"Kirei, let me tell you something, the Matou Kariya you wanted me to take care of is already dead, killed right under my nose."

"I already knew about the elimination of the Matou family from the teacher, Higashino-kun, I want to know if Matou Kariya was in pain when he died?"

"When a person dies, it will be very painful, but I helped Matou Kariya fulfill his wish, and he passed away peacefully, so there shouldn't be any regrets in his heart."

"It is a good thing to be redeemed before death."

Although Kotomine Kirei congratulated, he couldn't hear any happiness from his tone without a trace of emotional fluctuations, neither sad nor happy is the most suitable description.

"Higashino-kun, I might betray your trust." Kotomine Kirei said suddenly.

"How do you say?" Dong Yezao asked in a daze.

"The battle between me and Kenneth last night seems to have been seen by Master's familiar. Master should have known about my unauthorized actions. If there is no accident, I will soon lose my qualifications as a master." The other end of the phone Kotomine Kirei touched the Command Seal in his hand, and there was a trace of reluctance in his plain brown eyes.

"...If your master Tosaka Tokiomi doesn't want to tear himself apart, he should find a reason to send your servants to die. If you lose your followers, you will naturally withdraw from the battle." Higashino Sano thought for a moment and said.

"What should I do?" Kotomine Kirei asked.

"Before gaining the trust of the King of Heroes, you can't turn your back on Tokiomi. If Cu Chulainn is concerned, you can only give him up." Higashino Zou sentenced Cu Chulainn to death in a regretful tone.

Although Cu Chulainn got along well with Higashino Zou in the front end, and Higashino Zou also liked this straightforward Celtic hero, but in front of his own life and Shijie's life, everyone is a prop that can be used.As long as Cu Chulainn's death can bring Higashino Kano victory, let him die!

"I understand." Kotomine Kirei agreed without hesitation.

"Kirei, I will not pursue the matter of you helping Emiya Kiritsugu, and I will not stop you if you want to continue to find answers from him, but one thing I can be sure of is that you and Emiya Kiritsugu Si is definitely not the same kind of person."

After Higashino finished speaking, he hung up the pager.

Kotomine Kirei, who was far away in the Fuyuki Church, was sitting in his room in a daze, and in his hand was a pager with a notification sound, indicating that the caller had hung up the phone.

Kotomine Kirei's room was simple and unadorned, very much like an ascetic monk.

In front of him is a wooden table. On the left side of the wooden table is the bed, and on the right side is the bookshelf. Beside the bookshelf, there is a compartment for wine, which is full of all kinds of fine wines he has collected.

Kotomine Kirei stared blankly at the ceiling, thinking about what Higashino Kou said.

The confused emotions gradually intensified in his heart, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but covered his face with his hands, and muttered to himself almost collapsed: "Isn't even Emiya Kiritsugu my answer? Lord, if you If you have mercy on your believers, please tell me the answer."

Just like the thousands of prayers before, the Almighty Lord did not answer Kotomine Kirei's question.

"Could it be that only the Almighty Holy Grail can answer my question? But there is only one Holy Grail. If I want to get the Holy Grail, I have to betray my only friend. Is it really worth it?"

Kotomine Kirei was extremely entangled in his heart, and fell into the vortex of betrayal.

Just when the idea of ​​backstabbing Higashino Koto boldly popped up in Kotomine Kirei's mind, Kotomine Kirei suddenly realized something was wrong.

Kotomine Kirei's hands were very rough. Due to years of training, Kotomine Kirei's hands were almost covered with thick calluses, but even with this rough hand, he could feel that something was wrong with his expression.

Kotomine Kirei hurriedly opened a drawer of the wooden table, took out a smooth and clear small mirror from it, and repeatedly looked at his own face reflected in the mirror.

"Am I laughing? Why am I laughing? Where does the joy in my heart come from?"

Kotomine Kirei reached out to touch the corner of his mouth, and he could feel an obvious upward arc.

Kotomine Kirei smiled, and the long-lost joy reappeared, Kotomine Kirei was like an old smoker addicted to smoking, savoring this joy in his heart carefully, enjoying every minute and every second.

This sudden joy came and went quickly, and not long after, the smile on Kotomine Kirei's face disappeared, and the whole person became depressed again.

After enjoying it, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help thinking, where did his joy come from?Why did I gain the real sense of being alive for a short time?

Did you have the idea of ​​betraying Dong Yezao?

A bold idea surged into Kotomine Kirei's heart, shaking his body and mind like a magnitude [-] tsunami whizzing by, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Wow-wow-"

The hoarse neighing sound reached Kotomine Kirei's ears, and Kotomine Kirei subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and a pitch-black crow appeared in his room at some time, standing on the bookshelf superior.

Kotomine Kirei looked at the crow's eyes, one was a normal eyeball, and the other was a demonic eye exuding a strange red light. Kotomine Kirei was sure that this crow was the one he had seen before, and gave it to him. Crow for the answer.

This crow is obviously not a species that exists in reality. Kotomine Kirei believes that the crow is a product of his own imagination, representing his true heart.

With the experience of asking the crow last time, Kotomine Kirei did not have a trace of resistance or vigilance this time, and asked like a friend chatting with an old friend: "Crow, am I taking pleasure in betraying my friend?"

Crow nodded, then shook his head again.

After getting a contradictory answer, Kotomine Kirei pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Isn't it all?"

Crow nodded.

"Then why am I happy? Betrayal is part of the reason, and the other part... Is it because of Matou Kariya's ending?"

Kotomine Kirei recalled what Higashino Sou had said to him today, apart from Emiya Kiritsugu's question, he had told him about Kariya Matou's ending.

Crow nodded.

Another contradictory answer, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help covering his head with a headache.

One good and one evil, Matou Kariya's peaceful death is a good deed, betraying a friend is a bad deed, and he is happy for both good deeds and evil deeds at the same time, which makes Kotomine Kirei puzzled.

Obviously good and evil are two opposite things, why can he get pleasure from good and evil at the same time, is he a collection of contradictions?Shouldn't liking one thing dislike its opposite?

Just when Kotomine Kirei was having a headache because he couldn't think of an answer, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

"Kirei, I didn't expect you to have so much fine wine in your possession, the quality is much higher than that of Tosaka Tokiomi."

Kotomine Kirei looked back, and blurted out a surprised voice: "King of Heroes Gilgamesh!"

Chapter 185 183. Meeting Black Hairless by Coincidence

Higashino put the pager back to its original position, walked back to the yard with a heavy heart, and joined the two ceremonies.

At this time, a large thick cloud covered the sun, the originally bright sky dimmed instantly, and darkness enveloped the earth.

A gust of cold wind blew across the yard, raising sand and dust, and the wind chimes hanging in the corridor were jingling.

jingle!jingle!

The ethereal and crisp voice fell into my ears, and Dong Yezao didn't feel a little bit of comfort, but was a little irritated.

The development of the situation has far exceeded the original expectation...

Kirei's exposure, Kenneth's victory, and Kiritsugu's defeat, these series of events all show that the plot of the Fourth World War has gone out of control, and the advantage of Higashino playing the foresight is very small.

Can I win...

Facing a powerful enemy, Higashino couldn't help but fell into worry, his shoulders were heavy, like lead.

Higashino wanted to win too much. Although he did not have the wish to entrust the Holy Grail, but the two ceremonies did. Higashino wanted to win this war and gave the Holy Grail as a gift to the two ceremonies.

If he lost, what face would he have to face the two rituals that gave him high hopes?If you can't even realize your lover's wish, what qualifications do you have to be her husband?

Once he fails, he must be like Weber, living in guilt for the rest of his life.

The two ceremonies glanced at Dong Yezuo, folded their hands on their chests, and lowered their heads as if they were thinking about something.

Not long after, the eyes of the two ceremonies brightened, and they shouted to Dong Yezao in a happy voice:
