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 laugh 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 collusion 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 strictly speaking, 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.

因为与凭空造黄金和宝石需要花费类神力不同，像这种成本几乎为零的纸币，她毫不费力就能创造出足以摧毁整个国家金融系统的庞大数量。

至于这么多的纸币会对市场造成怎样的冲击，以及大量连号纸币拿来消费是不是会被警察或金融监管机构盯上，那就不是她这个小脑瓜能想到的问题了。

“哈哈哈哈！亲爱的Master，我爱死你了。”

伊斯坎达尔直接蹲下来抱起小安妮在女孩的脸蛋上狠狠亲了一下，从不知道从什么地方弄了个袋子往里装了上百捆钞票，随后便扛起来径直朝外面走去。

要知道在之前逛街的时候他就已经盯上了许多东西，现在有了钱自然要把这些东西统统都买回来。

阿纳斯塔西娅看到这一幕，嘴角不受控制的轻微抽搐了一下，低声询问道：“Master，您给Rider那么多连号的现金真的不要紧吗？我怎么觉得他肯定会惹出大麻烦来。”

“嘻嘻，那不是更好吗？

正好可以试探一下教会的反应。

我可不会忘记之前Assassin的袭击，以及那位神父对自己儿子言峰绮礼的偏袒。

作为圣杯战争的裁判，利用手中的权力给某个御主提供便利，这可是不折不扣的违规。

既然被我们抓住把柄，那就不要想着能够平安无事了。”

在说这番话的时候，小安妮的眼睛里闪过一抹不易被察觉到的恼怒。

很显然，言峰璃正已经上了她的黑名单。

“那您的意思是……”

阿纳斯塔西娅用不是很确定的语气试探道。

“闹出点事端，然后把那个糟老头子引出来干掉。既然裁判已经无法保持公正，那他也就没有存在的必要了。杀掉他之后记得把尸体送还给言峰绮礼。”

小安妮非常干脆的做出了指示。

“如您所愿，我的小Master。”

阿纳斯塔西娅优雅的鞠了一躬，同时抿起嘴角露出残忍的笑容。

……

与此同时，远在教堂内，言峰璃正还没有意识到自己的生命已经进入之后倒计时，依然在对儿子感叹道：“本次圣杯战争还真实意外状况频发，就连远坂时臣那样的男人现在都开始变得手忙脚乱。真不知道他最后是否能够如愿以偿的夺取圣杯。”

“请不必担心，我相信老师一定会做好万全准备的。”

言峰绮礼面无表情的安慰着自己的父亲。

当然，也仅仅只是安慰而已。

由于亲眼目睹了百貌哈桑是如何被轻而易举的干掉，所以他很清楚远坂时臣眼下所面临的两个强敌究竟有多么厉害。

尽管英雄王吉尔伽美什也是非常强力的从者，但黑化后的阿尔托莉雅和被误认为是众神之王宙斯的小安妮同样也不弱。

除非进行正面对抗，否则根本没人知道谁能成为最后的胜利者。

“希望如此吧。要知道这可是远坂家距离圣杯最近的一次机会了。”

说罢，言峰璃正抬起头注视着教堂上方五颜六色的玻璃穹顶，还有那个被摆放在教堂正中央的十字架。

要知道这个世界的圣堂教会可不是什么腐朽堕落、为敛财玩出各种花样的宗教机构，而是一个以“狩猎异端”为己任的大型武装机构。

不管是吸血鬼还是魔术在很长一段时间内都是其发誓要消灭的对象。

在长达数千年的历史中，双方可以说是你来我往不断的彼此杀戮，直至到了近代才慢慢与魔术协会达成和解，只追杀那些丧心病狂滥杀无辜的魔术师。

所以作为教会的骨干力量，言峰璃正与言峰绮礼这对父子都接受过专门针对魔术师猎杀的训练。

尤其是作为代行者的言峰绮礼，完全就是一个不折不扣的冷酷杀手，总能以极高的效率完成上级交付的危险任务。

就在两人站在教堂中沐浴着早上的晨光时，一个鸟形状的使魔突然从天而降，贴在言峰璃正的耳边小声低估了两句，紧跟着他的脸上便浮现出了震惊中带着一丝错愕的表情。

“父亲，发生什么事情了？”

言峰绮礼用不是很确定的语气问了一句。

言峰璃正嘴角抽搐着回答道：“是Rider。他带着一捆钞票冲进驻日美军基地想要购买对方的导弹和飞机。”

“什么？！”

饶是言峰绮礼见过不少大场面，内心之中早已变得麻木且波澜不惊，也依旧被这个爆炸性的消息雷得不轻。

要知道驻日美那可是不折不扣的太上皇，真正意义上的占领军。

更何况购买军火这种事情从来都跟政治是强相关。

他简直无法想象这位从者的脑回路究竟奇葩到什么程度，才会跑去驻日美军基地去采购军火。

而且采购军火的意义又是什么呢？

这玩意由于没有神秘的加持，在圣杯战争中根本无法对从者造成哪怕一丝一毫的伤害。

因为只要简单的灵体化之后，哪怕是引爆核弹也基本不可能影响到英灵。

“我得立刻去处理一下，你在这里好好休息吧。”

言峰璃正二话不说直接推开门从教堂里走了出去。

不过就在他两只脚全部跨过门槛的刹那，一条狗突然从旁边的阴影中钻了出来，以迅雷不及掩耳的速度直接将这位教会的神父扑倒，紧跟着张开满是尖牙的嘴巴一口咬在喉咙上，随后疯狂摆头进行撕扯，短短不到两秒钟的功夫气管、大动脉、食道就全部撕裂。

暗红色的鲜血就像喷泉一样从伤口处不断喷涌而出。

“喝喝喝——”

由于气管被咬断，大量鲜血涌入其中造成了窒息，言峰璃正根本无法发出任何声音，只能用尽自己最后的力气给了这条疯狗一拳。

但疯狗却根本不为所动，继续不断扩大伤口让血流的越来越多。

直至言峰绮礼从震惊中回过神来一个健步冲上去，疯狗这才松开嘴撒丫子朝远处狂奔。

他此刻根本没有心思去追，而是弯下腰把奄奄一息的言峰璃正搀扶起来，想要把不断流血的伤口止住，同时清理出气管使其可以继续呼吸。

但遗憾的是这两样尝试全部都失败了。

“该死！怎么会这样！父亲，请振作一点。”

越来越模糊的意识跟视线让言峰璃正明白自己的生命已经走到尽头，抬起被鲜血染红的手想要去触摸儿子的脸庞。

但刚刚伸出去一半就突然落下去，两只眼睛的瞳孔迅速扩散，显然是咽下了最后一口气。

看着从活人变成尸体的父亲，言峰绮礼缓缓抬起头注视着站在不远处的那条狗，以及狗旁边一双笔直修长包裹着黑色裤袜的大腿。

顺着这条大腿继续往上，他看到了一名留着银色长发的美丽少女。

“是你？！”

“呵呵，这种时候除了我还能有谁呢？ 千万别告诉我你对自己父亲的所作所为一无所知。

他之所以今天会死完全是咎由自取。

破坏和践踏规则的人必将被规则所反噬。”

阿纳斯塔西娅脸上挂着戏谑的表情嘲讽道。

不用问也知道，刚才那条突然暴起行凶的狗不是别人，正是变态杀人狂——雨生龙之介。

也只有他才会对人体结构如此了解，能够做到避开其他部位直奔最致命的咽喉。

要知道无论是犬科动物还是猫科动物，想要猎杀人这样的大型哺乳动物最快、最好的方式就是锁喉。

不然咬到胳膊或是腿都很难做到真正的一击毙命。

还有可能因为人在剧烈疼痛下激发肾上腺素进而完成反杀。

所以大多数狗在面对成年人的时候基本上最多能做到的就是咬伤，很少有咬死的案例。

雨生龙之介显然很清楚咬手臂和咬腿都不可能完成主人下达的命令。

他从一开始就瞄准了喉咙，并且提前在教堂外面的视觉盲区潜伏起来，只为完成这次猎杀。

而且在咬死言峰璃正后，那种鲜血和杀戮的滋味瞬间唤醒了他作为变态杀人狂的一面，从头到脚每一根细胞都在欢呼雀跃，原本就十分丑陋的狗脸变得更加狰狞，咧开嘴露出一口沾满献血和碎肉的尖牙。

突然之间，雨生龙之介觉得当狗好像也没有自己想象中那样糟糕。

尤其是发达的嗅觉，让他更能够体会到鲜血和死亡的气息。

“所以你是发现了父亲的违规行为特地来杀他的？”

亲眼目睹了父亲死亡的言峰绮礼非但没有变得激动、愤怒，反而比刚才更加冷静，眼神也冷漠的令人毛骨悚然。

毫无疑问，他并没有任何情绪起伏，就好像死掉了一个不相干的人而非自己的亲生父亲。

“你好像并不难过？”

阿纳斯塔西娅显然也察觉到了不对劲。

Kotomine Kirei nodded expressionlessly: "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.
