Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

After turning around, Shen Qiu spoke lightly to the man in the black priest's robe with his back to him.

“Go tell that Gilgamesh guy to just stay home tomorrow night, slit his throat, and I’ll come and collect his head.”

When Shen Qiu said this, his tone was completely calm, as if he were doing something insignificant, as if killing Gilgamesh was a foregone conclusion, and it was just a matter of when to retrieve it.

"This guy..."

After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Kirei Kotomine felt a nameless fear rising from within him. Since becoming an agent, he had not felt this kind of fear for a long time.

If the other party knows about his relationship with Gilgamesh, does he also know about his killing of Kotomine Risei and Tohsaka Tokiomi? And how did he find out?

Kirei Kotomine considers himself to be an extremely perceptive person, and very few people can hide well under his perception. If the other party knows all these things, does that mean he even knows when I go to sleep and when I get up?

With this fear in his heart, Kirei Kotomine quickly walked back into the church.

As for Shen Qiu, he rode a Ducati 91 motorcycle located in the hotel parking garage. Compared to driving, Shen Qiu actually preferred motorcycles, as he liked the feeling of the cold wind blowing in his face.

The original motorcycle was destroyed in the battle with Zouken, and the current one was sent over by Tsuruya through someone else.

After getting on his motorcycle, Shen Qiu arrived at the Einzbern family's castle in the Mirror Forest in the far suburbs at an almost lightning speed. Even before he entered the castle, Shen Qiu could see Emiya Kiritsugu from afar.

Seeing Kiritsugu Emiya's incredulous expression, Shen Qiu helplessly shrugged.

"Let's get to know each other again. I am Matou Aki, the Master of Caster and Berserker, the current head of the Matou family, and also Mr. Kage. It's a pleasure to work with you."

As he spoke, Shen Qiu flashed a bright smile. If one didn't truly know what kind of person Shen Qiu was, Emiya Kiritsugu would have thought he was just some sunny, cheerful boy next door.

"So this is... the Master of the two Servants?" Artoria, who was standing not far behind Shen Qiu and Kiritsugu Emiya, was also very surprised when she saw Shen Qiu.

After all, Shen Qiu's exceptional ability to control and analyze situations, as well as his powerful use of magic, had led Kiritsugu Emiya to believe that he was a representative sent by one of the major families of the Clock Tower.

Although the boy in front of him was beyond his expectations, this situation was actually much better. At this critical juncture, he did not want to get involved in the struggle between the various factions in the Clock Tower.

"Aren't you going to invite me over for a visit, Kiritsugu? Since Irisviel became bedridden, has she stopped responding to guests?" Shen Qiu said jokingly.

The union of Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel is actually a complementary combination. Given Kiritsugu Emiya's way of treating people, any guest who dares to come to his door would probably be scared away by his invisible aura.

"Please come in."

Inside the living room, Shen Qiu sipped his cappuccino—coffee brewed by Maimi—while taking in the scenery around the castle. The large hole that had been created by Iskandar's Divine Wheel had now been repaired.

Although it has been repaired now, traces of the repair can still be seen if you look closely.

"That conqueror king has also left the stage. Hopefully, the second king will be able to mature from now on." Shen Qiu thought to himself as he took a small sip of his still-hot coffee.

"So, what are you planning to do next?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked, exhaling white secondhand smoke as he spoke, which made Shen Qiu speechless. Did this guy really love smoking that much? Wasn't he afraid of getting lung cancer later?

"Put out your cigarette before you continue."

After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Emiya Kiritsugu stubbed out his cigarette and threw it into the ashtray without any expression.

"We should just go to the location of the Holy Church tomorrow night and declare war on Archer. Caster herself doesn't have any wishes, but Berserker wants to have a big battle with Saber. Kiritsugu, you don't have any objections, do you?"

"Wait, isn't Archer's Master the head of the Tohsaka family? Why would he go to the Church of Christ?" Kiritsugu Emiya obviously knew about the connection between the Tohsaka family and the Church of Christ.

If Assassin has already been eliminated, why isn't he withdrawing from this Holy Grail War? Why is he still participating as an ordinary person? This is truly strange.

"Humph."

After hearing Kiritsugu Emiya's question, he finally let out a cold laugh. As expected, every time he heard Kirei Kotomine's name, he was extremely annoyed.

"That former abbot of the Holy Church named Kirei Kotomine first killed his own father, Father Risei Kotomine, and then his master, Tokiomi Tohsaka. Oh, right, he came here today specifically to kill me."

After listening to Shen Qiu's words, Saber, who was standing to the side, showed an incredulous expression and then asked anxiously.

"Why, why would someone kill their own father and master?"

"It's simple, for pleasure." Shen Qiu looked at Artoria as if she were talking about something completely unimportant.

Saber, hearing the term for the first time, looked confused; she didn't quite understand what it meant. Shen Qiu, on the other hand, wore an indifferent expression.

"Simply put, he finds ugly what normal people find beautiful, and beautiful what normal people find ugly. Therefore, acts like killing one's teacher or father, which are considered heinous by normal people, can bring him immense pleasure."

After hearing Shen Qiu's explanation, Artoria couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"How could this be..." Artoria, who had been raised with chivalry, love and virtue, could not believe that such a person existed in the world.

"Also, Caster's Master, aren't we allies? Why are we fighting each other? Wouldn't it be better for us to go all the way to the end and obtain the Holy Grail together?"

At this moment, Artoria seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke urgently to Shen Qiu.

“Saber.”

Shen Qiu looked at the Knight King with some surprise, and at the same time, he understood why Emiya Kiritsugu and he were so incompatible. Perhaps it was because of her past as a king; she was simply too opinionated.

Compared to servants like Diarmuid, Lancelot, or Hassan who only obey their masters, this kind of Servant is very unpopular, and the reason is simple.

In the eyes of the Masters, Sevent is nothing more than a more powerful familiar. Since it is a familiar, it should obediently listen to the Master and not always have so many fancy and unreasonable thoughts.

"Please watch your words. You and I are not allies. To be precise, your Master and I are allies. So I am not asking for your opinion, but for the opinion of your Master, Emiya Kiritsugu. 々々."

In fact, Shen Qiu could understand her. For Artoria, who had once been a queen, it was impossible for her to willingly submit to someone else.

If you look closely, Gilgamesh and Iskandar, the four kings in this Holy Grail War, both held complete control. Gilgamesh was unhappy with his Master, so he simply changed to a more obedient one.

Needless to say, Webber's gentle nature meant that Rider basically ignored everything he said.

As for the relationship between herself and her master, it is actually a relationship between master and servant, as well as teacher and student. On the other hand, although she is the queen of the Land of Shadows, she is not like a worldly king.

Therefore, Shen Qiu was able to get along well with his master because both of them understood each other's place in the world.

Kiritsugu Emiya and Artoria are definitely the worst-matched pairing in this Holy Grail War, even worse than Tokiomi Tohsaka and Gilgamesh.

Both men are absolute controllers, but their philosophies are completely opposite. One believes in the noble code of chivalry, while the other is willing to do anything without any bottom line when faced with enough leverage and benefits.

This is the only difference between realists and idealists.

"I..."

Upon seeing the strange look Shen Qiu gave her, Artoria unconsciously clenched her fists and bit her lip. Shen Qiu's words had clearly provoked her.

"I understand, that's the decision," Kiritsugu Emiya said almost instantly, without even needing to listen to Saber's opinion.

Artoria's face was so gloomy it was frightening.

"How is Irisviel?" Shen Qiu asked as if he had suddenly remembered something. With Avenger's return, there were now a total of five Servants who had returned, so Irisviel's condition must be quite bad.

"He has begun to lose consciousness."

Only when Irisviel is mentioned does Kiritsugu Emiya's expression soften slightly; in any case, his feelings for Irisviel are genuine.

"Have you thought about where you'll be descending?"

"I've decided. It'll be at the Civic Center in Xindu. I'll take her there tomorrow night."

After hearing Kiritsugu Emiya's words, Shen Qiu sighed helplessly. As expected, it was just like in the original work, but he did not intend to stop it.

Only after seeing what the real Holy Grail looks like will he truly give up.

"Then, see you tomorrow night, Kiritsugu Emiya."

After saying that, Shen Qiu left the castle without looking back.

"Ah, she's so different from Saber in the Fifth Holy Grail War. She's like a little girl who's become obsessed with the Holy Grail." Shen Qiu couldn't help but sigh as he thought of Artoria's expression.

It was dusk when he came out of the castle. Looking at the sky dyed red by the sunset, Shen Qiu let out a long sigh. Since coming to this world, he had been taking things one step at a time, and now the time had finally come when he could see the dawn.

"...Oh...sir, madam, would you like two more servings of sweet and sour pork ribs?"

Inside the Hongzhou Banquet Hall in Taishan, a waitress with a bun hairstyle looked somewhat awkwardly at the couple who looked like siblings, but she wasn't looking at their appearance; instead, she was looking at the pile of bowls and plates in front of them that was as high as a small mountain.

"That's right, two more, hurry up."

While stuffing braised pork into his mouth, Shen Qiu mumbled that he hadn't eaten his fill at noon because of Kirei Kotomine's presence, but he was finally able to enjoy a delicious meal in the evening.

What's truly astonishing is that while Master's eating manners are as refined as a lady's, his eating speed is unimaginably fast, even faster than Shen Qiu's.

"Ah, I'm so full..."

After finishing five plates of sweet and sour pork ribs, three servings of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, four servings of boiled sliced ​​pork, and six bowls of braised pork with his master, Shen Qiu finally realized that he was so full he couldn't be full anymore, and stared blankly at the ceiling above his head.

"Master, it's time to leave."

After the Holy Grail War ends, Master's consciousness will return to the Land of Shadows, and it's unknown when they will meet again.

"All good things must come to an end, Ah Qiu."

After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Master simply took out a napkin and wiped her mouth. Compared to things like parting, she had experienced far too much.

"Students leave their teachers just as children leave their parents. People grow up and mature. As the most talented student I've ever seen, Akyu, I await the day you come to kill me."

"Qili".

Even though Gilgamesh wasn't wearing his golden armor, just a simple white shirt and black trousers, Kirei Kotomine could still feel the immense pressure emanating from him, with Gilgamesh leaning against him.

"Did that guy really say that?"
