Chapter 101 Die in peace, Father Kotomine (double monthly ticket orz)
Fuyuki City, early morning, nine o'clock in the morning.
Suit: "Lend it, break the house, don't take anything else, go out."
Taboo: "Adopting, asking for a name, making an alliance, getting married, and moving into a new home."
the above,
The first one was compiled by Jianchen Jianchen.
the above,
The second one was also written by Jianchen Jianchen.
Standing in front of the famous church in Fuyuki City, Kenshin Matou felt that there were many people standing behind him.
If his feelings were true, it might be a horror story.
Sadly, his feelings were real, but they were not horror stories.
because,
Although there is no one behind him, there is a heroic spirit!
In order to make things easier, Uncle Liu and Diarmuid both turned into spirit bodies, so Kenshin Matou's eyes couldn't see, and neither could anyone else.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu...?"
“Diarmuid, Diarmuid…?”
Standing alone in front of the quaint door of the church, Jianchen Matou felt very insecure.
It was freezing cold in Fuyuki City in early winter.
Only the warm (crossed out) powerful heroic spirits can make Kenshin Matou feel a little warmth.
"I am here, my lord."
Compared to Uncle Liu, who is indifferent to his Master and needs to be supported by Swordsman Matou, Diarmuid is much more honest.
His reply also made Jianchen Jiantou feel a little safe.
Therefore, he knocked on the door in front of him which was completely dark and looked quite old.
Boom, boom, boom.
Three rhythmic knocks on the door sounded.
Jianchen Matou waited quietly.
squeak~
The door opened a crack, and a pair of dark eyes appeared in the crack.
The eyes peeked out from the crack in the door, then narrowed slightly.
"……no one?"
Special times require special treatment. Now the old priest Kotomine Risei is very vigilant.
"I'm here, Father Kotomine Risei."
The master of the Matou family who wanted to kill him had a gentle attitude and polite behavior.
The eyes through the crack in the door glanced downwards and finally found the person who was knocking on the door.
Yanfeng Lizheng frowned, and only opened the door after seeing the little man in front of him showing the back of his left hand.
Kotomine Kirei told him the news about Caster's Master, but he didn't tell him that Caster's Master was actually a child who looked only seven or eight years old.
That's why Kotomine Risei was so slow.
When he walked into the church, Jianchen Matou was very surprised.
Whether in his past life or this life, he had no interest in things like churches.
Of course, if the eggs are given for free and it doesn't take up his time, he might still be interested.
The church was very dark. It did not use modern lighting, but instead... kerosene lamps?
"Is it to hide something, or is it a necessary environment for some magic?"
The rookie magician Kenshin Matou could only guess this way.
Soon, following Kotomine Risei's footsteps, Matou Kenshin arrived at a location that he was very familiar with.
Next to the audience seats.
"You are the master of caster, right?"
Kotomine Risei said the question in a very certain manner.
Jianchen Matou nodded in agreement.
Looking closer through the light, I could see that Kotomine Risho had a head of white hair, which fits the stereotype of how Kenshin Matou treats priests.
He looks like a human but is actually a beast in human clothing. He is confused and always shouting and yelling.
Unfortunately, he just doesn't follow the rules.
"I came here for the Command Seals. According to your instructions, as the Master of Caster, I have eliminated the possessed Berserker with my own strength, and I deserve the reward of three Command Seals."
Hearing this, Yan Fengli was silent.
The original intention of that meeting had two meanings.
The first was to eliminate the berserkers who were killing innocent people in Fuyuki City and ensure that the Holy Grail War was conducted in secret.
The second was to create an opportunity for his ally, Tohsaka Tokiomi, the current head of the Tohsaka family, to obtain the Command Seals.
Previously on Warehouse Street.
Gilgamesh, who had a great time, wanted to show off his strength in front of all the masters, to let them know what a bastard is and that a bastard is not worthy of looking up to the king.
Such behavior is consistent with Gilgamesh's personality.
But it doesn't fit Tōsaka Tokiomi's personality.
Toosaka Tokiomi is a traditional magician, and any traditional magician is inevitably old-fashioned.
For victory in the Holy Grail War, for his own long-cherished wish, and to be able to reach the root.
In the name of a subject and with the power of the Command Seals, Tōsaka Tokiomi persuaded Gilgamesh to continue to liberate the King's treasure.
In the mysterious forest of Einzbern.
In order to prevent Gilgamesh from offending the public and releasing his trump card too early, he used the power of the Command Spell to force Gilgamesh to leave.
The Master had three Command Seals in total, but Tōsaka Tokiomi had already used two. For other Masters, one Command Seal might be enough if they were frugal.
But for Tōsaka Tokiomi, who longed for the Holy Grail and wanted to reach the source, it was far from enough.
In addition to the magic power of the Command Seals themselves, Tōsaka Tokiomi also needs the power of the Command Seals.
Used for
—Force Gilgamesh to die.
It is well known that there are seven Masters participating in the Holy Grail War, and each Master has a Servant.
It is well known that there is only one Holy Grail.
So, after eliminating the remaining six servants, what should the remaining Master and Servant do?
Tōsaka Tokiomi had already thought of the answer to this question, and also had a plan on how to complete the answer.
And the necessity of that plan and the Command Spells was beyond doubt.
Tōsaka Tokiomi knew this, his disciple Kotomine Kirei knew this, and his ally, Kotomine Kirei's father Kotomine Risei knew this even more.
So when he saw the swordsman Matou asking for the Command Seal at this time, Kotomine Rizheng felt very complicated.
But even though he has formed an alliance with Tōsaka Tokiomi, he cannot go back on his word now.
There are too many remaining Masters. Once he reveals his alliance with the Tōsaka family, not only will the people in the church cause trouble for him, but he and Tōsaka Tokiomi will also be attacked by other Masters.
"I have understood your request."
Kotomine Li was standing in front of Matou Kenshin with a very serious look on her face.
He rolled up the right sleeve of his monk's robe, revealing his right wrist, which was covered with Command Spells.
His arms looked very thin due to old age, but his bones looked very strong. It was obvious that the old man in front of him was not an easy person to deal with when he was young.
"Probably similar to Kotomine Kirei, both are agents of the church?"
Jianchen Matou was thinking absentmindedly.
"You all drink this" (This is what anime subtitles are like, and I want to complain about it too.)
“For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.”
"For the forgiveness of sins!"
After the oath was completed, the Command Seals on Kotomine Risei's right wrist began to flash, and after a burst of red light, the three Command Seals were transferred to the hands of Matou Kenshin.
Looking at the extra Command Seals in his hand, Jianchen Matou showed no excitement.
In response, Kotomine Lizheng was only slightly surprised and turned around to see the guest off.
"Then please continue to fight for glory as a Master."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain came from his heart. Looking at the scarlet spear head that pierced his chest from his back, Yan Fengli's eyes bulged out, like someone who died unjustly.
Diarmuid pulled out his gun with a complicated expression.
Given his temperament, he would rather fight a knight of similar strength than kill an old man who had almost no resistance against him, as he was doing now.
Swordsman Matou passed through Diarmuid's body and walked to the place where Kotomine Li was lying on the ground.
Looking at Kotomine Rizheng's eyes, he shook his head and helped them close.
"Father, you said you fought for glory, but you tarnished that glory. Your death is not unjust."
finished,
Kenshin Matou thought again of the priest's son in front of him, the pleasure monster who was broken from the inside out, Kotomine Kirei.
"You are really pitiful, Father. You still thought your son was a saint until your death."
"Do you know what your saintly son will think when he sees your miserable state soon?"
"He would wonder why you died. Of course, please rest assured that he is not sad at all because of your death. He is just disappointed."
"Guess what he was disappointed about?"
"--it was disappointment that didn't kill you!"
Looking at the corpse in front of him, Jianchen Matou said a lot.
This was his second murder.
No, this was his first murder.
The first person he killed was not a human, but an old insect that had lived for more than 500 years. The old insect smelled of decay all over, and the sins it had committed were too numerous to list.
So, on the day he killed him, Jianchen Jianchen was very happy.
Even when I went to bed at night, I had a beautiful dream and slept comfortably until the next morning.
The joy lasted for a long time and has not completely dissipated until now.
Therefore, Kotomine Ri was the first person he killed.
This is an old man, and a priest.
Is he a good person?
Kenshin Matou didn't know. He only knew that the old man lying in a pool of blood in front of him did not abide by the rules of the Holy Grail War and was in cahoots with the Toosaka family. If Toosaka Tokiomi had the chance, he would kill himself for victory without any guilt.
Is he a bad person?
Kenshin Matou also didn't know. He only knew that the old man lying in a pool of blood in front of him had a perverted son.
His son is a complete and utter character who deserves to go to hell.
But that was just his son and had nothing to do with him.
"Is that so? I am so fragile."
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Jianchen Matou wanted to laugh.
He clearly knew the cruelty of the Holy Grail War better than anyone else, he had been killed four times by Emiya Kiritsugu because of the Holy Grail War, and he clearly just wanted to have a happy and stable life.
However, he was killed seven times by Emiya Kiritsugu, who wanted to be a partner of justice, along with his sister.
Seven times! Seven times! Seven times!
He was Kenshin Matou four times and Sakura three times.
This is the blood feud of the Matou family, and until now he dare not forget it even a little bit.
"Please die peacefully, Father. It won't be long before Emiya Kiritsugu, your son, will go down to accompany you."
Jianchen Jianchen stood up and left the church without looking back.
Double the monthly tickets, please abuse me as much as you want——!
