A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

This road, which runs from the top of the mountain in Fukayama Town, extends all the way into the city.

The deep roar of the engine broke the silence of the night as the silver beast sped along the sparsely lit national highway.

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL, with its elegant and streamlined body, is as dignified as a noblewoman, while the roar of its six-cylinder engine is as powerful as a beast.

And the one driving this car is Saber.

“It seems that what you said before, Saber, about being able to learn as long as you hold the reins tight was true.”

The person who spoke these words in a gentle voice was a slender and delicate woman with long silver hair draped over her shoulders. Her exquisite face seemed to have a touch of pitiful fragility about it.

It's hard to believe that she was so lively not long ago, but now she seems like a fragile flower that could disappear at any moment.

Not long after, the Mercedes came to a stop.

Saber went around to the passenger side and opened the car door for her.

"Would you like to put on some more clothes, Irisviel?"

Seeing her

Seeing this, Saber asked with some concern.

However, Irisviel simply shook her head upon hearing this.

The evening breeze stirred, and her waist-length silver hair swayed behind her.

"It's alright, Saber, go and fight with peace of mind. I'll take good care of myself."

Despite what she said, Saber still seemed very worried.

Because the woman's eyes had long lost their former sparkle.

"Then...let's go."

As Saber said this, she took Irisviel's hand and led her toward the woods ahead.

The destination is a villa located at the highest point of this mountain, in the villa area, which is the Tohsaka Residence.

Chapter Forty-Six: Tokiomi's Entrustment

The Tohsaka Residence is located at the highest point of Fukayama-cho, Fuyuki City, in a Western-style house district. It is a two-story Western-style house with a courtyard and a basement that serves as a magician's workshop.

In addition, there are also ancillary facilities such as a swimming pool, but since they are not needed for the time being and there is no energy to maintain them, they are now basically abandoned.

Like Mount Enzo, the Tohsaka Residence is also a place through which excellent spiritual veins flow. It is one of the four Holy Grail landing sites in Fuyuki City, and it was here that the Holy Grail landed during the Second Holy Grail War.

Each generation of the Tohsaka family actively converted the key spiritual veins they controlled into commercial land, and those users, for some unknown reason, became very successful in their businesses, which brought the Tohsaka family a large amount of tax revenue.

On the other hand, the Magicians' Society in London manages the patent rights to magic tricks.

Tokiomi Tohsaka had registered "simplified magic formulas," so although it was done little by little, he received patent fees every month, which he used to support the Tohsaka family. As a result, Tokiomi Tohsaka had a large amount of savings in terms of funds and magic items.

……

Inside Tohsaka Residence.

The exquisite chandelier above his head was constantly emitting bright light, but Kirei Kotomine had an eerie feeling of standing in the shadows.

"So, what do you need me to do, teacher?"

Kirei Kotomine, who had just arrived, looked at Tokiomi Tohsaka without any change in expression.

Kirei Kotomine maintained his calm and indifferent expression, and Tokiomi was used to it. In fact, he trusted Kirei Kotomine more when he was in this state.

Always able to perfectly execute Tokiomi's instructions without ever showing any unnecessary emotions, this assistant, who was like a tool, greatly reduced the pressure Tokiomi felt during this Holy Grail War.

"We still need you to accompany Archer. Although your Assassin has been eliminated, we have obtained information about Rider's Noble Phantasm, which will be very beneficial to our upcoming battles."

As Kirei listened to Tokiomi's detailed plan, he couldn't help but admire Tokiomi's composure as always, considering every single detail so thoroughly.

“I will do it, teacher,” Kirei nodded.

Tokiomi smiled upon hearing this.

"You're always so reassuring, Kirei. I'm so proud to have a disciple like you. While talent is something that can't be forced, Kirei, your earnest attitude towards training as a seeker of the Way is something even I, your teacher, deeply admire. Kirei, from now on, just like your father, continue to fight for the interests of the Tohsaka family, shall you?"

Kirei looked up and saw the sincere and enthusiastic look in Tokiomi's eyes. He was immediately reminded of the scene when he talked with Archer before, and couldn't help but laugh.

However, Tokiomi was unaware of this and thought that Kirei was deeply moved and couldn't help but smile, so he said even more happily.

"I want my daughter to learn more from you, Kirei. After this Holy Grail War ends, Kirei, you will be Rin's mentor and guide her."

As he said this, Tokiomi picked up a letter he had prepared since he hadn't slept all night and handed it to Kirei.

"This is……?"

"Although it was written in a rather simple style, it could still be considered a will or something similar."

With too many distractions, Tokiomi was completely unable to grasp the situation on the battlefield.

"Although the chances are slim, it's still possible, in case something unforeseen happens to me in the upcoming Holy Grail War. In this letter, I've written that the headship of the Tohsaka family will be passed on to Rin, and Kirei, you will serve as her guardian until she comes of age. Just deliver this letter to the Clock Tower, and the Mage's Association will handle the rest."

The Tohsaka family still holds a certain position within the Mage's Association.

After listening to Kirei's instructions, Kirei nodded while staring blankly at the letter in his hand.

He thought, what if he killed Tokiomi and then became the guardian of Tokiomi's daughter, letting her grow up in his admiration? Her expression when she finally learned the truth would be quite something.

Kirei reached out and took the letter from Tokiomi, quickly lowering his face.

He didn't want Tokiomi to notice his barely suppressed smile.

Because that smile was so sinister, it was hard not to arouse suspicion, which is why Kirei was so cautious.

However, the suppressed pleasure within him almost made Kirei unable to resist killing the mentor who treated him like family.

Twisted, insane, joyful... This is Kirei's inner world. Before meeting Archer, he had been suppressing the madness within him.

Even though Kirei knew that his desires were pathological and shouldn't exist in a normal human being.

He seemed unaware of Kirei's unusual behavior, or perhaps his past trust in her prevented him from considering any other possibilities.

At this moment, Tokiomi took out a rectangular box.

"what is this?"

Kirei opened the box with some doubt. Inside, decorated with velvet, was a beautifully crafted short sword.

"That is the 'Sword of Azoth,' crafted from ancestral gemstones. Once filled with magic, it can be used as a magical artifact. Use it as proof of your apprenticeship in the Tohsaka family's magical arts."

"..."

Kirei held the short sword in his hand and examined it carefully, his gaze lingering on its sharp blade for a long time.

The blade, reflecting a cold light, seemed to slice through Kirei's tightly wrapped heart, revealing his deepest desires.

Chapter 47 Haha! It's so fun being an animal!

Then, these desires, which contained madness, mockery, and cruelty, turned into words of gratitude when they reached Kirei's lips.

“My mentor… I have no way to repay your care and high expectations.”

Strangely enough, although Kirei longed to see his master's expression of despair and resentment at all times, the gratitude he felt at this moment was also genuine and without any falsehood.

Even so, he still wanted to do things that would disappoint the person he trusted most, just to see his bewildered expression. This state of mind was so complex that even Kirei himself could hardly understand it.

Tokiomi looked at Kirei with a clear smile and said with great satisfaction.

"You are the best reward for me, Kirei. Now I can participate in the remaining battles without any worries."

Tokiomi is a resolute person. Although he had felt sad and tender-hearted when he saw his daughter's longing gaze before embarking on the Holy Grail War, he had suppressed these feelings of affection after actually setting foot on this path.

In recent days, Tokiomi has sometimes had a dream.

It was a very brief dream, like a fleeting fragment of deep sleep that is easily forgotten.

In that dream, he resolutely participated in the Holy Grail War, fighting against other mages, and even encountered Matou Kariya, but in the end, all of them died at the hands of Tokiomi.

However, in the end, the dream took a strange turn.

Seeing himself killed by his own disciple Kirei, Tokiomi could only stare blankly as he felt the warm liquid flowing through his chest.

Of course, although this so-called nightmare was the most bizarre one Tokiomi had ever had in recent years, in his view it was ultimately just a nightmare that had nothing to do with reality.

Having spent so many years with Kirei, Tokiomi believed he understood his apprentice.

Although Kirei is not good with words, he is very sensitive, quick-witted, and methodical in his work. While he is not as elegant as Tokiomi, he is still very composed and is an upright and balanced person.

Thinking of this, Tokiomi stood up from the sofa.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you so long. You should hurry over to Archer. Don't keep this King of Heroes waiting too long, or he might get angry."

His words came to an abrupt halt, the sudden sharp pain making it difficult for Tokiomi to focus his gaze.

"No, you don't need to worry, teacher, he's coming this way too..."

His pupils widened as he looked down in astonishment at the blade that had pierced his chest, its black and red fluid flowing through it.

His face was filled with disbelief, and his mouth kept opening and closing as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only make hoarse sounds. His life was fading away at an extremely fast speed, and Tokiomi Tohsaka was unable to utter a single word in the end.

"Teacher, in the end you were just like my father, unable to understand my character..."

A mixture of disbelief and anguish crossed his face. After Shishin's body had gone completely cold, Kirei stepped forward and turned his body over.

Seeing the astonished look on Tokiomi's face, Kirei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Puff——!”

Kirei looked at a mirror next to him and found that for the first time, an expression completely different from his usual one appeared on his face.

That was a smile of pure joy that Kirei had never shown since birth; he was simply overjoyed.

This was probably the most joyful and carefree laugh Kirei had ever had since birth.

He laughed so hard he bent over, half-squatting on the floor.

"It is clearly"

Why do I feel such pleasure... in committing such a vile act as killing my own mentor? Am I a complete beast? Hahahaha!?

Although he was cursing himself, Kirei's expression was full of a pleasant smile.

The smile on her face constantly conveyed Kirei's feelings at that moment, which was...
