Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 381: Tasting Wine, Then Watching the Sky Fall

The Tosaka family's magic workshop is located underground.

Before the smoke and dust from the battlefield have cleared and the outcome of the battle is clear.

Previously, Tohsaka Tokiomi felt that he had won because Li Shuwen had used the opening move of [Tiger Climbing the Mountain].

While showing a smug smile, he once again repeated the "fantasy" that he had planned countless times in his mind before.

After Saber's death, she obtained many [magic patents]. Some of them can be sold in exchange for some gems.

【Then, purchase again.】

And when I saw Fang Yi waving his hand to disperse the smoke and dust, Li Shuwenhua disappeared into particles, and Gilgamesh walked towards Fang Yi.

The smile on Tōsaka Tokiomi's face, who was about to receive his reward, froze instantly.

[Where's that Li Shuwen? Where's that Li Shuwen who never needs a second strike, the one who can be called "No Two Strikes"?]

After using his eyes, which were expanded to the limit and as big as copper bells, to repeatedly confirm the fact of Li Shuwen's death and Fang Yi's survival.

An expression of disbelief, as if his common sense had been violated, appeared on Tohsaka Tokiomi's face.

[This is an illusion, this must be an illusion! ! ! !]

Not giving up hope, he raised his hands and rubbed his eyes tremblingly.

Then he used [magic] to control another [familiar], trying to get a different result.

But after a moment, he still got a rather cold fact:

[The one standing in the middle of the field was that Saber, not the old man named Li Shuwen.]

After confirming the news, the disbelief on [Tōsaka Tokiomi]'s face instantly turned into an unprecedented pain.

It’s like the office worker in some pornographic comics who has a huge mortgage and just woke up from a hotel on a business trip to find out that he has been optimized and lost his job.

He returned home dejectedly, only to catch Huangmao having an affair with the mother and daughter in his own home.

There was also a picture of a divorce agreement on the table in the living room.

Feeling despair about the world, falling to your knees with tears streaming down your eyes, that kind of pain can be called despair.

Torn by pain, [Tōsaka Tokiomi] picked up the book he had read countless times before.

The introduction of the [Magic Patent] which has been regarded as a sure thing and has been initially distributed has been completed.

After taking a final look at these missed rewards.

He threw the papers away, suddenly stood up, danced like a mentally ill patient, and grinned foolishly.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!

"It's all an illusion! That Saber is actually dead, dead!! The [Magic Patent] is mine!"

After saying this, [Tōsaka Tokiomi] fell to his knees as if all his strength had been exhausted.

I started crying nervously.

Like a broken doll.
-
Unlike [Tōsaka Tokiomi] who was concentrating on watching the battlefield, like a gambler who had bet everything on the lottery and lost it all, and finally became mentally ill.

After [Kotomine Kirei] used three strokes of the [Command Seal] to strengthen Li Shuwen, he watched Li Shuwen perform the opening move of [Tiger Climbing the Mountain].

Although he knew that this move of his servant had never failed and had the legend of being "unparalleled".

I still have some doubts in my heart about whether Li Shuwen will fail.

I am also curious about how Saber will defeat her opponent if Gilgamesh's judgment is correct.

However, Kotomine Kirei did not stare at the battlefield like Tōsaka Tokiomi who was standing beside him.

We hope to achieve combat results in this way.

Instead, he lowered his head and stared intently at the three scars on the back of his right hand, which seemed to have faded after the use of the Command Seal.

Although all the Command Spells have been used.

But as long as these faded scars exist, it means that both the Master [Kotomine Kirei] and the Servant [Li Shuwen] are alive.

The contract between the two exists, and the man named [Kotomine Kirei] possesses the qualifications of a Master.

Observing the persistence of scars will be the safest and quickest way to obtain the results of the battle.

And after seeing the scars on the back of his hand fade away.

A hint of well-hidden shock and worry flashed across Kotomine Kirei's eyes.

[That Saber! Has she gotten stronger too? ]

[Although I don't know how that Saber defeated Master Li, he should have become a being capable of fighting against the King.]

But when he heard [Tōsaka Tokiomi] mumbling and crying like a robot whose program had gone mad.

Kotomine Kirei's shock and worry were quickly replaced by an emotion called 'joy'.

[There are obviously more important things to do right now. The 'fruit' that has been cultivated for a long time is waiting for me to 'pick'.]
-
Kotomine Kirei, who had been keeping his head down, let out a few suppressed laughs.

Just as he was about to speak, he tried to harvest the last bit of emotion from his teacher.

However, his emotions reached their peak and he was eager to speak when he choked on his trachea before he could even open his mouth, and then he started coughing violently.

However, this coughing did not interfere with the emotions in Kotomine Kirei's heart that were constantly rising and had already reached the peak.

While coughing, he looked at Fang Yi on the battlefield and laughed wildly in his heart.

【I want to thank you, Saber! 】

[That’s it, that’s it, I finally understand! ]

[The wish I have been pursuing, the wish I want to entrust to the Holy Grail, is the name of the emotion flowing in my heart!]

He looked at Fang Yi and Gilgamesh in the [Familiar] screen.

He opened his arms like a pilgrim and uttered the answer he was looking for.

[This emotion is the thing called joy that I have been pursuing! ]
-
After a while, he tried hard to suppress his smile and pressed the corners of his mouth.

With a stern face, he walked up to the kneeling [Tōsaka Tokiomi] and pushed him.

He whispered in his teacher's ear like a demon that was collecting souls and squeezing out their value.

"Teacher, teacher, it's time to make a decision."

At the same time, he cunningly gave the sword [Tosaka Tokiomi] to himself as a gift, but he hid the dagger he was going to use to kill his master in the sleeve of the [Agent Robe].

It was like a longbow stretched to its limit in the shadows, ready to shoot a deadly arrow in the next moment.

Completed the secret charging.

Looking at [Tōsaka Tokiomi], whose eyes had become dull and who was still repeating "We won, Kirei".

[Kotomine Kirei] stretched out the smooth back of his right hand and waved it in front of his teacher.

He showed [Tōsaka Tokiomi] his way of judging the battle situation, and incidentally broke [Tōsaka Tokiomi's] fantasy.

Reveals a ruthless and cruel reality.

He swung the 'scythe' to harvest the last wheat called 'joy' from [Tōsaka Tokiomi].

"Teacher, the stigmata left on the back of my hand from using the Command Seal have disappeared.

“Master Li is dead, and you need to make a decision.

"How should we treat that Saber?"
-
Looking at the smooth back of Kotomine Kirei's hand.

The last bit of fantasy of deceiving myself in my heart was ruthlessly shattered in an instant.

After the whole person returned to the cold reality.

[Tousaka Tokiomi] regained some of his sanity and began to mutter to himself.

"Yes, Kirei, make the decision!

"I need to make a decision!"

He was just observing the battlefield through his familiar.

Gilgamesh's face lit up with a warm smile he had never worn before. Then, like a magic trick, he took out the fine wine he had painstakingly gathered and presented it to the most ancient king of mankind.

At the same time, she elegantly handed Fang Yi a gorgeous golden wine glass and invited him to drink together. This kind of scene would never happen to her.

The string of reason that had just been reconnected in Toshiomi Tōsaka's heart shattered in an instant.

He stared at Fang Yi intently, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

He had never been so jealous of such a person.

In addition to possessing extremely powerful strength, the other party also has the ability to attract the king's interest, which he does not possess.

Even now, judging by the actions of that king.

In Wang's eyes, the other party already had some qualifications to be on par with him.

After recalling the sad experience of treating Gilgamesh with care, but being ordered around by him.

[Tousaka Tokiomi]'s dissatisfaction with his own Servant has reached its peak.

[Why?! I am your master! Your Master! ! ! !]

"You're actually having such a friendly conversation with the master's enemy, that Saber. Where did you put me, Tōsaka Tokiomi?!"

He looked at Gilgamesh in golden armor and never found him so annoying.

After groping for the Command Seals on his right hand, he already knew that his only Servant was Gilgamesh.

After realizing that he had no hope of competing for the Holy Grail.

[Tousaka Tokiomi] chose to throw in the towel.

[Since you are a Servant who disobeys orders! Then use your death to make the final contribution to my Tohsaka family! ]

Having made his decision, [Tōsaka Tokiomi] roared like a mentally ill patient who needed to be sedated.

"I haven't lost yet! I haven't lost yet!

"As long as you kill that Saber, these will all be mine!"

He raised his right hand high, looked at the only two remaining strokes of the Command Seal on the back of his hand, and uttered a desperate order in a rather crazy manner.

"Use the Command Seal to kill Archer Gilgamesh."

But he obviously didn't have the chance to finish his sentence.

Because at the moment when [Tōsaka Tokiomi] raised his right hand and uttered the first syllable of this sentence.

An extremely sharp dagger, which he was extremely familiar with, pierced through his back and crushed his heart.

This stopped him from using the Command Spell.

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who had never been on guard against Kotomine Kirei, felt the sharp blade stabbing from behind.

With eyes wide open like a dead goldfish, he asked a final question.

"Kirei, why? You..."

[Kotomine Kirei] looked at [Tōsaka Tokiomi] who was dying with blood oozing from his chest.

He no longer suppressed his smile and gave a very frank answer.

"No reason, sir.

"Besides the fact that you betrayed the King, it was just fun for me to do this."

As he spoke, Kotomine Kirei stirred the dagger that was stuck in Tōsaka Tokiomi's heart.

After ensuring that the other party had no chance of survival, he turned towards the already dead [Tōsaka Tokiomi].

He said something that made him extremely happy.

"Don't worry, teacher.

“To Aoi, my teacher’s wife, and Rin, who you are so proud of.

"As their disciple, I will weave an interesting 'life script' for them.

"What do you think of this script about a mentally ill lunatic and a poor but strong girl who wants to inherit the family business?"

But it was obvious that [Tōsaka Tokiomi] lying on the ground was no longer able to give an answer.

He watched as the deceased [Tōsaka Tokiomi] was recovered by the [Holy Grail System] and the [Command Seal] reappeared on the back of his hand.

In this magic workshop with only one person present, Kotomine Kirei let out a somewhat impudent laugh.

However, Kotomine Kirei had obviously overlooked one fact.

On the back of his hand were the three lost and recovered [Command Seals].

For a moment, a stroke of the Command Seal appeared black, like mud.
-
Matou residence, in the center of the battlefield.

Gilgamesh walked slowly in front of Fang Yi and looked Fang Yi up and down.

He nodded with satisfaction and sighed.

"What a brilliant and breathtaking duel, Saber.

"I think even those epic duels between heroes in mythology are no more than this.

"It seems that my hasty trip this morning was worth it."

After hearing these words, a hint of doubt flashed through Fang Yi's mind.

"Don't you know my name? Why are you still calling me Saber?"

But looking at the excited Gilgamesh, Fang Yi didn't think much about it.

He bent down and picked up the [California Clear Light] that had been thrown on the ground.

After sheathing the knife, he calmly gave a flawless reply to the oldest fat tiger in human history, praising him a little.

At the same time, he asked for some benefits.

“In my eyes, a spectacular battle is like a drama, and it needs a large enough audience to witness and record it.

“Without a sufficient number of spectators, this battle would lose some of its color.

"Therefore, this epic battle should be written by everyone's brilliance together."

As soon as Fang Yi said this, Gilgamesh's signature "hahahaha" laughter rang out.

A pleasant reminder sound rang in his ears.

[Affected by [Supernatural Gravity], the character [Gilgamesh]'s friendship towards you increases from [61/100] to [73/100]. ]

[The quest [Gilgamesh's Promise] has met some of the conditions. You will receive a certain reward from this character.]

Gilgamesh laughed wildly for a while before regaining his composure.

He unrestrainedly took out a golden wine glass and handed it to Fang Yi.

He unscrewed the bottle and prepared to pour the wine to Fang Yi while speaking with great satisfaction.

"It is because of your presence that this boring morning finally has a little bit of long-lost fun.

"The duel you demonstrated is worthy of sharing a wine glass with me and savoring this mellow wine.

"Come and experience it with me."

Gilgamesh paused while speaking, and his hand that was about to pour the wine also stopped moving.

Having sensed the death of [Tōsaka Tokiomi], a smile of unusual satisfaction appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, it seems that the annoying, blabbering 'bug' is finally dead."

Without waiting for Fang Yi, who was holding an empty cup and feeling anxious because he didn't get the reward, asked tentatively.

Gilgamesh summoned a [Noble Phantasm] of [A+] from the [Treasure House of the King] and said something meaningless to Fang Yi.

"Saber, have you ever seen the sky fall?"
