The long-awaited reunion between mother and daughter, and sisters, is undoubtedly quite touching.
Especially after learning about the hardships Sakura had experienced during the more than one year since she was adopted into the Matou family, Aoi, as a mother, felt heartbroken, and for the first time, she developed an uncontrollable resentment towards her husband, Tōsaka Tokiomi.
Because she originally thought that the so-called "adoption" was just to let one of the daughters join the other family, inherit all of their magic resources, especially the most precious magic circuits, and then become an excellent magician with a bright future.
But who would have known that Matou Zouken had already become twisted and sick in his bones, and he didn't even treat his own daughter as a human being. He used those demon-like insects to constantly torture and abuse her, which was quite inhumane even in the eyes of adults.
This was completely beyond what Aoi could bear psychologically. A strong sense of guilt and self-blame instantly swept through her body. She hugged Sakura, who was lost and found again, and cried continuously, repeating the three words "I'm sorry" over and over again.
She simply couldn't imagine what her little daughter would become if she was tortured like this for several years or even more than ten years.
Or will they choose to commit suicide because they can no longer bear the constant pain and bleak life?
Therefore, the more well-behaved and sensible Sakura behaves now, the more restless Aoi's mind and heart will become.
After more than ten minutes, she gradually controlled her emotions, slowly stood up and stared at the Dark Prince not far away, and asked in an uncertain tone: "You brought me and my daughters here by force. Are you trying to use us to threaten Tokiomi and force him to make concessions in the Holy Grail War?"
When Graya heard this, she couldn't help but laughed and shook her head: "No, ma'am, I think you seem to have misunderstood something.
Your husband is insignificant in my eyes and does not pose even the slightest threat.
In my eyes, he is like a pathetic clown. He has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, nor is he a good magician. He is even seriously unqualified as a teacher and a master.
I need you and your daughters to stay here for only one reason, and that is to make sure you can survive safely to the end without any unexpected situations.
After all, my sister is a very willful person.
If someone she loves gets hurt or killed, the consequences could be very serious."
"You mean... this is some kind of disguised protection?"
Aoi seemed to understand something and subconsciously hugged her two young daughters tightly, with tension and fear in her eyes.
After all, under the current circumstances, there is only a fine line between protection and kidnapping.
Just when Graya was about to give a positive answer, Toosaka Rin suddenly broke free from her mother's arms and roared with dissatisfaction and anger: "Father is not a clown! He is the best father and also the best magician!"
I have to say, compared to her sister's timid, honest, introverted and shy character, she is completely the opposite.
Especially his courage, which was extremely great. Even in such an environment, he did not retreat at all.
Graya was obviously very interested in this little guy and did not show even the slightest bit of anger. Instead, he kept his elegant smile and asked back, "You said he was the best father. Then I want to ask you, would the best father send his own daughter to another family to suffer? Or did you not hear clearly what kind of inhuman torture and abuse your sister suffered in the Matou family?
Indeed, in your eyes, Tōsaka Tokiomi might be a qualified or even excellent father, satisfying all your fantasies about the role of a father.
But the problem is that it's just for you.
Look at Sakura, do you think she thinks that Tousaka Tokiomi is a qualified father? No! In her eyes, the so-called father has long been equated with the devil Matou Zouken.
As for the best magician, I just want to tell you that Tousaka Tokiomi's talent is not outstanding in the magic world.
If he were to duel with Kenneth, one of the participants in this Holy Grail War, he wouldn't have even a one percent chance of winning.
In comparison, I think Kariya is more like a perfect father and husband.
When he learned that Sakura was adopted into the Matou family, he immediately returned to the family that he disgusted and even hated, and tried to bear all the pain and torture on Sakura's behalf.
For this, he devoted almost everything he had and had to participate in this Holy Grail War as a Master.
The price is to burn one's own vitality, leaving only a few days of life at most.
My father once said that the greatest love in the world is self-sacrifice for others and for higher ideals.
Obviously, Kariya meets this standard perfectly.
Because Sakura is not even his child, he just gave up everything for your mother because he still loves her deeply in his heart.
But what about Toosaka Tokiomi?
He personally pushed his own child into an abyss of no return."
Having said this, the Dark Prince deliberately paused and cast his gaze towards Aoi, whose whole body was trembling slightly due to the violent fluctuations of emotions.
"Ma'am, I have to say that you have a very bad taste in choosing a husband.
Because in the eyes of Toosaka Tokiomi, you are just a reproductive tool that can give birth to excellent offspring, nothing more.
But you try to gain love from a traditional magician whose highest ideal is to reach the root by playing the role of a good wife and mother.
What a pathetic and ridiculous delusion.
The person who loves you the most and is most suitable to be a husband is right next to you, but you made the worst choice in your life.
If Tōsaka Tokiomi was faced with such a choice one day, guess how likely it is that he would sacrifice his life like Kariya did?"
As these words came out of her mouth, Aoi finally broke down and covered her ears, yelling like a madman: "Enough! Stop it! I don't want to listen to your nonsense!"
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder my father always stressed that the truth is always the most hurtful.
While Tōsaka Tokiomi is still alive, you can escape as much as you can.
But the question is, what if he suddenly died one day?
You have to know that the Holy Grail War is very dangerous, and any Master may die in the next second.
How will you face Kariya's selfless love and the sacrifices he made for your daughter Sakura?"
Graya obviously enjoys the feeling of manipulating other people's emotions and psychology.
Because he himself was born with divine powers, he was unable to truly feel the entanglement, pain and self-contradiction of a weak mortal, but he wanted to emulate his father and control the other party, and even make the other party act according to his wishes under "voluntary" circumstances.
Aoi's pupils suddenly dilated, and she raised her head and asked nervously, "Are you going to kill my husband?"
The Dark Prince shook his head meaningfully: “No.
As I said earlier, your husband poses no threat to me, which is why I don't bother to kill him.
But just because I don't do it doesn't mean others won't do it.
Maybe you don't know it yet.
Tōsaka Tokiomi had already angered his Servant, the arrogant, conceited and extremely cruel Hero King, during the opening battle of the Fourth Holy Grail.
At present, Gilgamesh has already developed murderous intentions and is also in collision with his disciple Kotomine Kirei.
If nothing unexpected happens, he is the one who will end your husband's life.
That's why I said that Tōsaka Tokiomi is neither a qualified husband nor a qualified master and teacher.
His seemingly smooth and glamorous life was actually made up of one failure after another.
There is one thing Kariya said that I always agree with, that is, everything is Tokiomi's fault.
His self-righteousness and traditional magician's way of thinking have led to his own tragic life like a clown."
"No way! Kotomine Kirei has always been respectful and polite to my husband. How could he do something worse than an animal, such as killing his master?"
Aoi's psychological defenses had already been shattered by Graya's attack, and she became somewhat incoherent.
"Haha, believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, the answer will be revealed soon. Well, let's stop chatting here. I have more important things to deal with. Saber, help me take care of the guests and don't just focus on eating."
The Dark Prince glanced at the darkened Altria who was sitting at the table and stuffing food into her mouth.
The latter swallowed the food in his mouth at a very fast speed, took out a napkin to wipe the oil stains and food residues on the corners of his mouth, and responded: "Don't worry, no one can hurt them with me here."
"Never mind. It's up to you."
Graya obviously noticed the foodie nature in Heidai, and decisively gave up the idea of asking him to exercise restraint. He directly activated the teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
Seeing her master disappear from her sight, the evil Altria immediately picked up the bucket of Coke and gulped down half of it without saying a word. Then she burped with a look of satisfaction, and then picked up a cardboard bucket full of fried chicken nuggets and continued to stuff them into her mouth.
Because she possesses an extra-large "Dragon Heart", her appetite is terrifying, just like a giant dragon that is never full.
Especially after turning dark, they will almost accept any high-fat, high-sugar, and high-protein food and enjoy the physiological satisfaction that eating these foods brings.
In contrast, Aoi, Sakura and Rin, the mother and daughter, were unable to eat anything because they were worried about Tōsaka Tokiomi's life. They could only slump on the sofa and stare at the densely packed surveillance screens around them.
Rin was thinking over and over again, why was there such a big difference between her father's attitude towards her and her sister? At the same time, she kept asking herself in her heart, is such a father really qualified? In this way, accompanied by the slight sound of Altria chewing, the young Sakura and Rin gradually began to find it harder and harder to open their eyes, and finally fell into their mother's arms and fell asleep.
By the time the first ray of sunlight rose from the horizon, the two little guys had fallen asleep.
Only Aoi was still staring at her worried-looking husband on the monitor.
Although she was not a magician, she understood that in the face of this level of information suppression, no matter how talented Tōsaka Tokiomi was, it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage.
Likewise, she also saw Kariya, who was doing his best to rescue Sakura.
Although speaking strictly, after losing his Servant, there was no need for this man to continue risking his life.
But instead of giving up, the other party is still actively investigating, as if he is not afraid at all of being attacked and killed by the Heroic Spirits or other Masters who descended from the sky.
Is this how you show your deep love for someone? What should I do? Aoi, who has always supported her husband silently, struggled for the first time.
She suddenly realized that what Graya said was right. Compared to Tokiomi, whose ultimate ideal was to reach the root, Kariya was the man who truly loved her and was willing to give everything for her.
…
On the other hand, in a high-end hotel in Fuyuki City, Annie and her group were also secretly holding their final combat meeting.
Waver Velvet, who was relatively familiar with the Holy Grail War, was pointing to a hand-drawn map to explain to others the process of the Holy Grail War and how to summon the Holy Grail.
Since he had obtained a huge fortune that he might not be able to spend in several lifetimes, he seemed to be full of energy and did not feel sad at all about no longer being the Master.
Just the opposite!
The young man completely regarded himself as a member of this small team and even taught little Annie the magic theories he learned in the clock tower.
"According to what you said, three Servants have already entered the Lesser Holy Grail. As long as we defeat two more, we can theoretically start summoning the Holy Grail?"
Anastasia stroked her chin with a thoughtful look on her face.
Weber Velvet nodded seriously, "Yes, that's the information I got.
Although the rules require the gathering of six heroic spirits, in reality only five are enough to reach the critical point.
Excluding Lancer, Assassin and Berserker who have been eliminated, there are now four servants left.
They are Caster and Rider from our camp, Archer from the Tōsaka family, and the mysterious Master and Saber.
In other words, we actually have no choice but to defeat the remaining two enemies in order to win this Holy Grail War."
"Hahahaha! What are we waiting for? Let's set off immediately and defeat the last powerful enemies one by one."
Iskandar grinned and laughed heartily.
When he thought about being able to compete with the oldest hero king Gilgamesh and Britain's famous knight king Artoria, he couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, as if he had returned to the days when he was alive and galloping on the battlefield.
Moreover, ever since he signed the contract with little Annie, the girl's indescribable magical power has greatly enhanced the power of his various abilities and treasures.
He now has the confidence to face off against any strong enemy head-on without losing.
"But the problem is that we now have two enemies. Which one should we choose as our target first?"
Anastasia asked the most crucial question.
As the saying goes, pick the softest persimmon first, she hopes to take advantage of her two servants to kill the easier one first, and then find a way to deal with the other tricky one.
"Choose Archer. Although the oldest king of heroes is indeed very powerful, his master is obviously weaker."
Webber Velvet stroked his chin and gave his own advice.
He was obviously not unfamiliar with the Tosaka family, the magic management of Fuyuki City. He had even heard his mentor Kenneth comment on Tosaka Tokiomi as a complete mediocrity more than once.
Compared with Master Saber, whose identity is still unclear, this combination whose identities and abilities are basically completely transparent is undoubtedly easier to deal with.
"Okay! Then let's kill Gilgamesh first! I've already disliked this big bastard."
Little Annie decisively decided to set the first target to be eliminated.
"Then it's settled. We'll attack them tonight."
Iskandar's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
Although at the beginning, he was a little resistant to the idea of changing his Master.
But now, after spending some time together, he unexpectedly discovered that he quite liked Annie's straightforward style of doing things without any delay.
After all, this conqueror king was quite reckless when he was alive. He ascended the throne at the age of 20 after his father was assassinated. He first put down the civil strife and unified the whole of Greece, and then led his army to the east to defeat the Persian Empire, which was several times or even dozens of times stronger than his own. He spent his entire life either fighting or on the way to fight.
Therefore, compared to a cautious Master like Waver Velvet, the little Anne who would fight back when she was not convinced was obviously more to her liking.
"It's just dawn now, and it's still at least ten hours before dark. We'd better make some preparations."
As she spoke, Anastasia opened the curtains to let the golden sunlight from outside shine into the room and dispel the darkness.
Seeing this, Weber Velvet, who hadn't slept all night, yawned immediately, rubbed his dry eyes and said, "I have to get a good night's sleep first. Otherwise, I won't make it tonight."
"Go ahead and get some rest. Maybe the Holy Grail War will be over after tonight."
Iskandar smiled and patted the former Master's shoulder to show encouragement, then turned his gaze to little Annie and asked shyly: "Um... Master, can you give me some money? I have a lot of things I'm interested in and want to buy."
"How much?"
Little Annie blinked curiously.
Because she really didn't understand what the point of a servant asking for money was.
After all, no matter how many things you buy, you can't take them with you when you return to the Throne of Heroes.
"Uh - probably around a billion."
Iskandar gave a number that he thought was quite high.
You have to know that when this young man was following Weber Velvet, he was a typical pauper who had to calculate even tens of thousands of yen carefully, so in his opinion, one billion was already a very impressive number.
"Simple!"
Little Annie waved the [Warlock King's Scepter] in her hand and pointed it towards the open space.
moment!
The bundles of banknotes piled up into a small mountain.
If we calculate based on a face value of 10,000 per bill and a stack of 100 bills, this pile would probably be worth tens of billions, let alone billions.
"These...are all mine?"
Iskander was overjoyed and almost jumped up from the ground with excitement.
Unlike other servants who have low material desires, he is full of interest in everything in modern society and even desires to obtain a real body to stay forever.
So this guy can be said to attach great importance to money in modern society.
Because in his opinion, if you have money, you can recruit soldiers, buy various weapons and equipment, and then go to Africa or South America to find a small country to launch a military coup and establish your own country. Then, use this as a base to continuously launch wars and expand outward until you completely become the master of the entire planet.
But what he didn't understand was that the world had already changed. It was no longer the era where one could conquer a country by winning a few battles with excellent tactics.
Rather, it is an era in which even a decent war cannot be fought without an industrial power.
In this era, great powers have overwhelming and absolute dominance.
If a small country wants to turn things around, it will need at least several decades to lay the foundation just by advancing technology and developing industry.
During this period, we may encounter a series of difficulties such as economic sanctions, military threats, diplomatic pressure, etc.
Even if Iskandar fulfilled his wish and obtained a physical body to stay, at best he could only become the leader of a small country, or simply become a mercenary or warlord.
Little Annie responded in a nonchalant tone.
Because unlike creating gold and gems out of thin air which requires divine power, she can easily create huge quantities of paper money with almost zero cost, which is enough to destroy the entire country's financial system.
As for what impact so much banknotes would have on the market, and whether the use of large amounts of serial numbered banknotes for consumption would be targeted by the police or financial regulatory authorities, that was not something her little brain could think of.
"Hahahaha! My dear Master, I love you so much."
Iskandar squatted down, picked up little Annie and kissed the girl hard on the face. He got a bag from somewhere and filled it with hundreds of bundles of banknotes. Then he carried the bag and walked out.
You know, he had already set his eyes on many things when he was shopping before, and now that he has money, he naturally wants to buy all of them.
Anastasia's mouth twitched slightly when she saw this scene, and she asked in a low voice: "Master, is it really okay for you to give Rider so many consecutive cash? Why do I feel that he will definitely get into big trouble?"
"Hehe, isn't that better?
This is a good opportunity to test the church's reaction.
I will never forget Assassin's attack and the priest's favoritism towards his own son, Kotomine Kirei.
As a referee of the Holy Grail War, using the power in your hands to provide convenience to a certain Master is an absolute violation.
Now that we have caught you, don't expect to be safe and sound. "
As she said this, a barely perceptible irritation flashed in little Annie's eyes.
Obviously, Kotomine Risei was already on her blacklist.
"So what you mean is..."
Anastasia asked tentatively in an uncertain tone.
"Make some trouble, then lure that old man out and kill him. Since the referee can no longer be fair, there is no need for him to exist. After killing him, remember to return the body to Kotomine Kirei."
Little Annie gave instructions very clearly.
"As you wish, my little Master."
Anastasia bowed gracefully, pursing her lips into a cruel smile.
…
Meanwhile, far away in the church, Kotomine Risei had not yet realized that his life had entered the countdown, and he was still sighing to his son: "This Holy Grail War is still full of unexpected situations. Even a man like Tōsaka Tokiomi is now beginning to become flustered. I really don't know if he will be able to seize the Holy Grail as he wishes in the end."
"Please don't worry, I believe the teacher will be fully prepared."
Kotomine Kirei comforted his father with an expressionless face.
Of course, it's just consolation.
Since he witnessed how Hassan the Hundred Faces was easily killed, he knew very well how powerful the two enemies Tōsaka Tokiomi was facing right now.
Although the Hero King Gilgamesh is also a very powerful servant, the evil Altria and little Annie who was mistaken for the King of Gods Zeus are equally strong.
Unless there is a head-on confrontation, no one knows who will be the final winner.
"I hope so. You know, this is the closest chance the Tousaka family has to the Holy Grail."
After saying that, Kotomine Li looked up at the colorful glass dome above the church and the cross placed in the center of the church.
You have to know that the Holy Church in this world is not a decadent religious organization that uses all kinds of tricks to make money, but a large armed organization whose mission is to "hunt heretics."
Both vampires and magic have been the objects he vowed to eliminate for a long time.
Throughout the thousands of years of history, the two sides have been constantly killing each other, until modern times when they slowly reached a reconciliation with the Magic Association and only hunted down those cruel magicians who killed innocent people.
Therefore, as the backbone of the church, the father and son Kotomine Risei and Kotomine Kirei have received special training in hunting magicians.
Especially Kotomine Kirei, who acts as an agent, is an out-and-out cold-blooded killer who can always complete the dangerous tasks assigned by his superiors with extremely high efficiency.
Just as the two were standing in the church basking in the morning light, a bird-shaped familiar suddenly dropped from the sky, whispered something in Kotomine Rizheng's ear, and then an expression of shock and a hint of astonishment appeared on his face.
"Father, what happened?"
Kotomine Kirei asked in an uncertain tone.
Kotomine Risei replied with a twitching mouth: "It was Rider. He rushed into the US military base in Japan with a bundle of money and wanted to buy the enemy's missiles and aircraft."
"What?!"
Even though Kotomine Kirei had seen many big scenes and his heart had long since become numb and calm, he was still shocked by this explosive news.
You have to know that the United States stationed in Japan is the absolute emperor, the true occupying force.
What's more, purchasing arms has always been strongly related to politics.
He simply couldn't imagine how bizarre this servant's train of thought had to be to go to the U.S. military base in Japan to purchase arms.
And what is the point of purchasing arms?
Since this thing has no mysterious blessing, it cannot cause even the slightest damage to the servants in the Holy Grail War.
Because once it is simply transformed into a spirit, even detonating a nuclear bomb will basically not affect the heroic spirit.
"I have to deal with it right away. You can rest here."
Without saying a word, Kotomine Risei opened the door and walked out of the church.
However, just as both of his feet crossed the threshold, a dog suddenly emerged from the shadows beside him, knocked down the priest of the church at lightning speed, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and bit his throat, then shook its head wildly and started tearing. In less than two seconds, the trachea, aorta, and esophagus were all torn.
Dark red blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain.
“Drink, drink, drink—”
Because his trachea was bitten off and a large amount of blood poured into it, causing suffocation. Kotomine Rizheng was unable to make any sound at all. He could only use his last bit of strength to punch the mad dog.
But the mad dog remained unmoved and continued to enlarge the wound, causing more and more blood to flow.
It was not until Kotomine Kirei came to his senses from the shock and rushed forward with a quick step that the mad dog let go of its mouth and ran away wildly.
He had no intention of chasing after her at the moment. Instead, he bent down and helped the dying Kotomine Rizheng up, trying to stop the bleeding wound and clear the trachea so that he could continue breathing.
But unfortunately, both attempts failed.
"Damn it! How could this happen! Father, please cheer up."
The increasingly blurred consciousness and vision made Yanfeng Lizheng realize that his life was coming to an end. He raised his blood-stained hand and wanted to touch his son's face.
But just when it was half stretched out, it suddenly fell down, and the pupils of both eyes dilated rapidly, obviously taking its last breath.
Watching his father turn from a living person into a corpse, Kotomine Kirei slowly raised his head and looked at the dog standing not far away, and the pair of straight and slender thighs wrapped in black pantyhose next to the dog.
Continuing up along the thigh, he saw a beautiful girl with long silver hair.
"It's you?!"
"Haha, who else could it be but me at a time like this? Don't tell me you don't know anything about what your father did.
The reason why he died today was entirely his own fault.
Those who break and trample on the rules will be bitten back by the rules."
Anastasia taunted with a playful look on her face.
It goes without saying that the dog that suddenly attacked and attacked just now was none other than the perverted murderer - Ryunosuke Uesugi.
Only he would have such an understanding of the human body structure that he could avoid other parts and go straight to the most deadly throat.
You have to know that whether it is a canine or a cat, the fastest and best way to hunt a large mammal like a human is to lock the throat.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to kill the enemy with one blow if it bites the arm or leg.
It is also possible that the person is in severe pain which stimulates adrenaline and allows him to counterattack.
Therefore, when facing an adult, the most most dogs can do is bite them, and there are very few cases of biting them to death.
Ryunosuke Uesugi obviously knew that biting the arms or legs would not be able to complete the orders given by his master.
He aimed at the throat from the beginning and lurked in the blind spot outside the church in advance just to complete this hunt.
And after biting Kotomine Risei to death, the taste of blood and killing instantly awakened his side as a perverted murderer. Every cell from head to toe was cheering, and his already ugly dog face became even more hideous, grinning to reveal a mouthful of fangs covered in donated blood and minced meat.
Suddenly, Ryunosuke Uesugi felt that being a dog was not as bad as he had imagined.
Especially his well-developed sense of smell, which enables him to better smell the scent of blood and death.
"So you discovered your father's illegal behavior and came here specifically to kill him?"
Having witnessed his father's death, Kotomine Kirei did not become agitated or angry. Instead, he became calmer than before, and his eyes were so cold that it was creepy.
There is no doubt that he did not have any emotional ups and downs, as if an unrelated person had died instead of his biological father.
"You don't seem sad?"
Anastasia obviously also noticed something was wrong.
Kotomine Kirei silently expressed: "Yes, I am not sad. Because from the moment my father decided to help the teacher seize the Holy Grail, I had already predicted that he would end up like this. Because his actions have offended all the Masters participating in the Holy Grail War, it is only natural for you to kill him."
"Then you don't plan to avenge your father?"
Anastasia narrowed her eyes and continued to test.
"Of course not. Because I have seen your Mystic Eyes and your powerful freezing magic, and I don't think I can be your opponent. Unless you plan to kill me too, I will not take the initiative to provoke you."
After saying this, Kotomine Kirei picked up the corpse and turned back to the church. During the whole process, there was not a single hesitation, and there was no sign of hatred or unwillingness.
It was not until the church door slammed shut that Anastasia revealed a serious expression and muttered to herself, "Damn it! This guy's mental state is definitely not normal."
"Woof woof woof—"
Having tasted the blood, Ryunosuke Uryu immediately barked, as if to express his suggestion.
"Shut up, idiot. The Master didn't let us kill Kotomine Kirei."
Anastasia kicked the other person angrily, then turned into a spirit and disappeared on the spot.
Ryunosuke Uryu was obviously unwilling to give up. He stared at the church for a long time before turning around with regret and running towards the woods.
It was not until all the servants and dogs disappeared that Kotomine Kirei returned to the church and the corners of his mouth slightly raised to reveal a terrifying smile.
Yes!
He was laughing! He was laughing at his father's bloody body!
Sudden!
A golden figure appeared next to him, leaning against the wall and asking in a slightly playful tone: "How is it, do you feel happy now?"
"Ah! I felt it! It's a pity that I couldn't kill my father with my own hands, but let him be bitten to death by an ugly dog. Otherwise, this pleasure would be even more intense and hot, just as fascinating as this boiling blood."
Kotomine Kirei gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
Needless to say, there is only one person who would appear at this time, and that is the Hero King Gilgamesh.
Obviously, for the personality-defective Kotomine Kirei, his father does not represent family affection, but repression and the final rationality.
When Kotomine Risei was still alive, he would try his best to suppress his nature and not let himself slide into that dark and depraved direction.
But once Kotomine Risei died, all those repressed things would burst out at once like a volcanic eruption and break through the dam called reason.
Gilgamesh obviously liked the dark desires displayed by Kotomine Kirei at this moment, and he immediately laughed unbridledly: "Hahahaha! Very good! It seems that you have learned to enjoy pleasure. But there is no need to feel sorry for not being able to kill your father with your own hands. Because you still have a teacher, don't you?"
"Haha, yes, I still have a teacher named Tohsaka Tokiomi. I wonder what kind of expression he will have when I stab the sharp blade into his chest."
Kotomine Kirei subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and the dark side of his heart was completely released.
At this moment, he has become a completely different person from his previous self who strictly abided by the precepts.
"I am also looking forward to Tokiomi's reaction. I believe this boring man will definitely use his death to bring us the ultimate pleasure."
After saying that, Gilgamesh handed over the wine glass that he had prepared long ago, and raised his own glass at the same time.
Ding! With the sound of wine glasses colliding, the Joyful Duo was finally officially formed.
Kotomine Kirei, in particular, didn't care about the blood on his hands at all, and drank up the dark red liquid in the cup mixed with his father's blood plasma.
There is no doubt that this Holy Grail War is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the magic circle of Fuyuki City.
First, the hundreds of years old prestigious Matou family was completely destroyed, and then the priest Kotomine Risei, who had presided over the church for decades, was bitten to death by a dog.
This directly led to the disruption of the original delicate balance.
Furthermore, due to the death of Kotomine Rimasa, there was no one left to deal with the aftermath of the Holy Grail War.
When Toosaka Tokiomi learned the news, his first reaction was that all his previous plans might have been exposed.
What's worse is that when attending the priest's funeral, he received another bad news. His wife Aoi and daughter Rin suddenly disappeared two hours before dawn today.
They didn't take any belongings with them, and didn't even change their clothes. They disappeared mysteriously from their beds in their pajamas.
"I'm sorry, Kirei, I must have been implicated in your father's death."
Tōsaka Tokiomi's tired face was filled with apology.
"You don't have to apologize, because this was father's own choice. I think he anticipated this day from the moment he helped." Kotomine Kirei responded, deliberately pretending to be overly sad.
Tōsaka Tokiomi sighed noncommittally: "Well - maybe. Do you think Aoi and Rin's disappearance is related to Caster and her Master? Did they kidnap my wife and daughter as revenge after killing Risei?"
“It is indeed possible.
But if they really did it, what was their purpose?
Blackmail?
negotiation?
Or did they just kill to vent their anger? If it was the last one, they didn't need to take him away, they could just kill him and leave the body there."
Kotomine Kirei frowned and gave his own analysis.
"So you think my wife and daughter are still alive?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly raised his head, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
After all, as long as people are alive, there are infinite possibilities.
"Yes, I think they are still alive. And I have a way to get them out of danger."
Kotomine Kirei slowly took two steps forward, closing the distance to less than half a meter.
"What is it?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi has not yet realized the danger is coming and is eager to find and rescue his wife and daughter.
But the next second, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest.
When he lowered his head, he saw that there was a dagger piercing his heart directly, with a sharp blade exposed from the back.
"My method is to kill you. In this way, Master's wife and Rin will lose their value and will naturally be safe. Don't worry, I will take good care of them..."
Kotomine Kirei opened his mouth to reveal a smile that made Tōsaka Tokiomi feel unfamiliar and even frightened.
And this is what he saw before he died.
