Chapter 94 The Headache of the Scapegoat

Chapter 94 The Headache of the Scapegoat
At the strong request of Swordsman Matou, Diarmuid, who was still immersed in shock, left the mysterious forest of Einzbern with Kenneth and Swordsman Matou with a wooden expression.

In the quiet forest, the scorched earth on one side proves the previous unrest.

The people present and those hiding in the dark could not suppress their fear.

"Hahahaha, what an interesting king. Let's go and prepare for the next battle."

The laughter of the King of Conquerors broke the silent atmosphere, and accompanied by thunder and the roar of the sacred bull, he drove his chariot and left the scene with his Master Waver.

For a moment, in the forest that had just been filled with heroes, only Saber and Irisviel were left.

"Let's go back too, Saber."

Mrs. Irisviel's voice sounded relieved, but more exhausted.

Uncle Liu's calm and composed behavior of showing one's godliness in public can be said to be the essence of showing one's godliness in public.

Showing off one's prowess in front of straightforward people will only make one look vulgar and have no real value, and will not attract the attention of the heroes in historical myths.

Only Uncle Liu's nonchalant and seemingly unintentional actions could shock people.

At this moment, Saber, her fake Master, and the real Master Emiya Kiritsugu who was hiding in the dark and observing through familiars and telescopes, all had the same complicated feelings.

The rule of the Holy Grail War is to kill the six rival heroic spirits other than yourself, which means that there is no option of "alliance" from the beginning, and in the end, there are only two options: one die and the other dies.

This is an inevitable reality.

This reality makes the Masters and Heroic Spirits who have witnessed the power of Uncle Liu and are eager to obtain the Holy Grail feel very depressed.

Just now when we were laning against Bluebeard, Uncle Liu was a very good companion. He completely eliminated the monster by himself without any help from his companions.

This kind of person is naturally a great teammate, and I can't wait to keep doing it.

Can,
Having such a person become an enemy... is the worst thing that can happen.

In a dark corner, lying on the ground, watching the Heroic Spirits leaving the stage one after another through a telescope, Kiritsugu Emiya said nothing, not even a single extra expression. However, Maiya, who was standing beside him, could still see the heavy mood he was in.

He reached out and removed the cigarette that was about to burn his lips. The smoke dissipated, leaving only Emiya Kiritsugu's somewhat dazed face.

Xiao San Maiya did not make any unnecessary movements; she was deeply in love with the man in front of her.

She kissed him, and the warmth of her lips brought Emiya Kiritsugu back to his senses.

“Let’s go, Maiya.”

After a kiss that was neither too long nor too short, Emiya Kiritsugu returned to his normal state.

He does not consider himself a human being. He believes that before he achieves his ideal, there is no need to be a human being, and after he achieves his ideal, there is no need to live...

No, that was Emiya Kiritsugu from before.

Now he wants to live and has expectations after achieving his ideal. It is the treasure named Illya that gives him hope.

Therefore, he must win this Holy Grail War.

·
"Kirei, what do you think?"

The dim basement and retro kerosene lamps are just like its elegant and old-fashioned owner.

There was no breeze, and the light did not flicker, illuminating the room.

It's just the limit of life, so even if it burns its life, it can only light up half of the room.

Under this light, Tohsaka Tokiomi's face flickered. The moment he summoned Gilgamesh, Tohsaka Tokiomi was full of confidence, as if the Holy Grail was already in front of him and he could touch it as long as he stretched out his hand.

What's more, he has the help of the Fuyuki City Church, and the supervisor of this Holy Grail War and his son are his right-hand men.

Everything is so beautiful, it has never had such a wonderful start.

but,

why,
Why has the situation become like this?

Followers, followers do not obey their orders, have bad tempers, and act without scruples.

The enemy is unexpectedly powerful, and almost no one of them is an ordinary person.

Especially the Masters of Emiya Kiritsugu and the Matou family.

Emiya Kiritsugu was easier to deal with. At the beginning of the Holy Grail War, Tōsaka Tokiomi conducted a thorough investigation on Emiya Kiritsugu, and then, with the pride of a magus, he completely ignored him, but was secretly wary in his heart.

Can,
The Master of the Matou family gave him a huge headache.

He knew and recognized Kenshin Matou, from his proudest masterpiece, his daughter Rin Toosaka, who might surpass himself in the field of magic in the future and lead the Toosaka family to new heights.

Can,
How could someone from the Matou family, who is the same age as his daughter, become the Master of this Holy Grail War?

And why was such a powerful Servant summoned?
The monster was so powerful that even though he had never met it face to face or experienced it personally, Tōsaka Tokiomi could still feel the thrill just through the feelings transmitted by his familiar.

The trembling of body and soul.

But, how could he, the monster who had made him so miserable and lost his elegance, be defeated by a single move from that servant in plain clothes?
This made Tōsaka Tokiomi depressed.

What made Toosaka Tokiomi even more helpless was that even if he knew the real name of the old man in plain clothes and his identity.

He still had no good solution.

Not every heroic spirit is as powerful as Achilles, and not every heroic spirit has obvious weaknesses like Achilles.

Knowing the true name of the Heroic Spirit, Tōsaka Tokiomi, as a qualified magician and a qualified Master who had prepared for the Holy Grail War for many years, had professional qualities, so he immediately flipped through the books and found the cause of death of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang.

"I conquer the world with a three-foot sword. Isn't this destiny? Destiny is in the hands of heaven. Even Bian Que can do nothing for me!"

When Tousaka Tokiomi saw it for the first time, he was shocked, and then he got a headache.

How can such an open-minded Servant find the weakness that will allow him to win the Holy Grail War?

Therefore, he asked his disciple, the helper in this Holy Grail War:

"Kirei, what do you think?"

Kotomine Kirei could hear his teacher's questions accurately through the phone.

He was silent for a while and did not rush to answer the teacher's question. He turned his head and looked at the sofa. Sure enough, just as he felt, the disappeared hero king Gilgamesh returned to his room.

"Teacher, although that Servant is very strong, your Servant is not inferior, and is even much stronger. Now, we just don't know the details and treasures of that Servant."

"..." After a moment of silence, Tōsaka Tokiomi sighed, "You are right, Kirei."

Although he said that, Tōsaka Tokiomi's head hurt even more when he thought about Gilgamesh who had not appeared in front of him until now because of his advice.

Gilgamesh in Kotomine Kirei's room also showed an interested look, and left the room again, disappearing to an unknown destination.
