infinite death song

The right to speak is very important in the magician's world.

"Teacher, Archer looks very unhappy..."

"Of course, seeing the strength of two extremely terrifying enemies, even that king cannot remain indifferent."

Tokiomi seemed to have guessed what Kirei was going to say, cleared his throat, and responded to his disciple Kirei with his own point of view.

"..."

Kirei wanted to say that this was not the reason why Archer was angry.

Rather, it is more direct. In the eyes of the king, the fact that the king's face and self-esteem are being swept away is more important than the so-called Holy Grail.

Kirei could sense that the King of Heroes, Archer, didn't desire the Holy Grail. He just took it for granted that it was a treasure in his treasury. It may be very boring.

However, his teacher Tokiomi didn't notice this.

"Rider's Noble Phantasm is the same as Archer's Noble Phantasm, both of which are powerful beyond evaluation. The Master of Foreigner is also not to be underestimated. With such an enemy, I believe that Saber's team will definitely seek an alliance to take action against Foreigner. ...What do you think, Kirei?"

Tokiomi was still immersed in his own plan and asked Kirei for his opinion.

"The teacher is right."

'Since I have withdrawn from the Holy Grail War, the next battle has nothing to do with me', with this in mind, Kirei casually played it off.

That's right, his Holy Grail War is over, but his battle is not yet completely over.

Emiya Kiritsugu.

He must ask this man clearly.

Tokiomi didn't pay attention to Kirei's perfunctory tone.

Kotomine Kirei's existence was originally for him to add bricks and tiles, his value is useless now, and now he just needs to honestly rest in the church and wait until the Holy Grail War is over.

"Kirei, from now on, just wait for orders honestly."

"is teacher."

After finishing the call with Kirei, Tokiomi rubbed his eyebrows, thinking of Sakura.

Although I don't know what happened to her, but since she is fine now, it means that the Master of Foreigner has no intention of using her as a hostage, and he must have some warmth towards Sakura.

Therefore, after he wins, he should also leave a life for the Foreigner's master.

As his reward for taking good care of Sakura.

As for Sakura himself, wait until after the Holy Grail War, and go back as a victor.

What Sakura said was preventing him from reaching the source, in Tokiomi's view, it was just a child's momentary remark, there is no need to take it seriously.

What does a six-year-old know?

"Caster is almost ready to be eliminated... Lancer's master has been missing since he escaped from Einzbern. According to the information collected by Assassin, he seems to be seriously injured. I don't know what's going on now..."

Although the situation is developing in a direction that is beneficial to him, when he thinks of the combination of Rider and Foreigner, of course he must not forget the Saber team. If he thinks about it carefully, there are still many obstacles in front of him, so he can't be careless.

Careful layout is required.

Tokiomi felt that the final battle was not far away.

◆

next morning.

Bai Ye's mind was still dizzy. Although he suppressed the aftereffects of the divine wine with the power of spirit seeds, he never thought that after such a long time, his body would still be a little dizzy.

But... What I didn't expect was that I was already so drunk that the mice in the dark didn't have the desire to make a move, so my vigilance was too high.

That's right, after all, he was ambushed twice in a row and lost eight people. If he wasn't fully prepared, these people probably wouldn't come to trouble him.

Of course, there is another possibility. They gave up the trial mission and went directly to the main god's space.

"Master, would you like some sober drink?"

Naiyazi took the sober drink she bought from outside and asked Bai Ye.

"No, this level of dizziness will not affect my fighting ability."

"Really? That kind of divine wine is really powerful."

"Yeah, I didn't feel anything when I drank it, but when I woke up this morning, I felt very dizzy."

Bai Ye smiled wryly, and as he spoke, he looked around, and when he found that there was no sign of Sakura, he showed a puzzled look: "Where is Sakura?"

"Master, when you were still sleeping in the morning, Sakura went out with her sister named 'Rin', and seemed to be looking for the whereabouts of her classmate Qinyin."

"The child who was abducted by Caster's blue beard? It's been such a long time, and it's no accident that he has become a monster's belly meal."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Oh, after all, children's tenacity should not be underestimated. Kariya Matou also followed up secretly. From this point of view, their safety does not need to be ignored."

"is it?"

While eating the bread, Bai Ye turned his gaze out of the window, as if he was paying attention to something.

"Since we have seen through the enemy's arrangement, is the Master planning to take action directly tonight?"

"Of course. Now that we have found any clues, we must nip the danger in its infancy. Then, I'll leave it to you here."

"Twenty first-commemorative eroge games."

Naiyazi demanded the price solemnly.

"...deal. Don't lose the chain."

"Of course! Have you forgotten, Master? He is the old ruler known as 'God Beyond Appearance'. Let's start the real hunt tonight."

Bai Ye didn't comment on Naiyazi's confident attitude, but just waited silently for the passage of time.

◆

"The action is tonight, isn't it?"

The Einzbern station in the forest on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

In a certain cleaned room, Kiritsugu was on the phone with someone, and asked them about a certain problem.

"Yes, Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, the operation will be tonight, and you will take the lead. If the Foreigner group is successfully eliminated, we will provide you with combat power to compete for victory in this Holy Grail War, and take your daughter returned safely."

"……understood."

Whether it was the victory of the Holy Grail War or the return of his daughter Illya, Kiritsugu did not pin such extravagant hopes on a group of insidious guys who were as shady as himself.

He tried to convince himself that there was only one reason for his agreement, not for his daughter Illya, but for the final victory and the Holy Grail, so as to change this sad world.

The Master of Foreigner, after the banquet last night, he and Rider sang the scene of slaughtering Assassin. He was lucky enough to see this scene at the top of the castle.

In his eyes, the Master of Foreigner has seriously exceeded the 'standard'.

He now began to regard the Master of Foreigner as his most powerful enemy, none of them existed.

Therefore, the reason why he agreed to this group of people was because their purpose was the same as his own, which was to eradicate Foreigner's master, not for the safety of his daughter Illya.

He persuaded his heart more than once in his heart this time, making himself hard-hearted.

I got the answer to this question a long time ago.

He has long been mentally prepared to use himself as a scale to weigh others.

If the laments and sacrifices of this world can be reduced more, in order to save the tray of existence of more people, even if there is one more person, Kiritsugu is also ready to overturn the tray of existence of at least one person.

In order for the majority to survive, the few are all killed.

Life does not distinguish between high or low, old or young, it is just a unit of measurement.

Compared with the whole world, Kiritsugu can weigh the weight of the life of his own daughter Illya alone.

If the world wants him to sacrifice his daughter, then it is only natural to sacrifice his daughter Illya.

But... what is this heart-piercing pain in my heart?

I should have understood this question a long time ago, right?

Why is my heart always so guilty and restless?

When he made a decision before, he never had such a burden.

Feelings make me vulnerable.

Kiritsugu lamented his soft heart like this.

If you don't overcome this weakness, then you will eventually hesitate at the critical moment, leading to failure.

After finishing the call, Kiritsugu quietly put down the phone, and did not tell his wife Irisviel about this matter, because this matter would definitely not be allowed.

Once it comes to Illya, Irisviel's obsession will be more terrifying than her own.

◆

Under the icy white moonlight, the air in Fuyuki City tonight is extremely cold.

Sakura and Rin came to the northern construction site of Fuyuki City. Looking west from here, you can see the port of Fuyuki City, which is the Mien River.

The construction site is located in Xindu, Fuyuki City. Since it is winter, the construction has almost stopped. The workers here will not continue to work until the spring of next year.

Therefore, the construction site in Fuyuki City, rendered by the sunset at dusk, already had a gloomy atmosphere.

"There are abnormal magic fluctuations here, Qin Yin must have been brought here by the villains."

Rin decided so.

Sakura also nodded, watching her sister Rin use the magic pointer to identify the location. It was indeed as she said, although the fluctuation of magic power here was weak, mixed with a very strange smell of blood.

Regardless of whether this is Caster's base camp or not, Caster must have stayed in this kind of place before, at least it is true that he tortured and killed hostages here.

Notice boards around the construction site have many slogans about danger and falling objects.

The building hadn't been built yet, and there was a cordon around it, so Sakura and Rin ignored it and went straight into it.

"Speaking of which, Sakura, since the Matou family no longer exists, will you come back?"

While acting in the direction indicated by the magic pointer, Rin sometimes talked to Sakura, asking about topics that he was more concerned about.

She didn't like that Xiao Sakura was with that man named 'Bai Ye', especially the frivolous behavior of feeding Xiao Sakura, which was really enviable... No, it was too perverted.

But she ignored the fact that this was Sakura's own request.

Because in her opinion, how could such an introverted person like Sakura get so close to a strange man, not even Tokiomi's father or Uncle Kariya.

Must have been forced.

"Of course, Sakura will always be with everyone."

Sakura smiled softly.

"That's it."

Seeing Sakura's answer like this, Rin felt relieved.

Just when Rin was about to say something, Sakura pointed to an overturned manhole cover in the construction site, and a strong smell of blood wafted from it, making Rin's face change.

"What is this? A big smell of blood."

Rin panicked, the smell was too strong, and she couldn't hide it even if she tried to cover it up.

No, the other party is not covering up at all.

Sakura didn't speak, and went down the stairs of the sewer.

"Wait, Sakura—"

Seeing Sakura ignoring her and going down on her own, Rin hesitated and followed.

When I got into the sewer, I found that the space here is very wide.

The lights above are on, removing the darkness of the sewer and allowing you to see the surrounding scene.

There are many cans and cans, which are the most recently discarded garbage.

It's not hard to imagine someone living here recently.

"what--"

Rin was startled when he found something, and pointed to the floating objects floating in the water with a pale face.

——The various parts of the human body are still raw meat, which were forcibly dismantled from the body, and the blood in the waterway was stained red.
