"You mean to ask me, who serves God, to pursue pleasure - to indulge in such sinful and depraved behavior?!"
The Command Seals system in FZ and FSN has always been a mystery, and I can't figure out the relationship between them. I might as well set it up so that "the Command Seals do not disappear after the Servant's contract is broken." Otherwise, Rin-chan's situation in the UBW line is hard to explain, and Kiritsugu Emiya's reason for killing Kayneth is not sufficient.
Chapter 68 The Next Day, Assassin Survives
[This is really too much, Kirei. Why do you equate pleasure with sin? ]
[Because the pleasure gained from doing evil may indeed be a sin, but doing good can also make people feel happy. On what basis can we assert that pleasure itself is an evil? ]
[So-called pleasure, in other words, is the form of the soul's spirit. When it comes to pleasure, it is not about 'having' or 'not having', but about 'knowing' or 'not knowing'. Kirei, you don't understand your own spiritual world. You said that you have no pleasure in your heart, and that is actually the case.]
【In short, first you should learn what entertainment is. 】
[Don't say that. This can be done in your spare time after the work Tokiomi has assigned you. Kirei, isn't your duty to track down the other five Masters? Then don't just investigate their intentions or strategies, but also their motives, and then tell me. This is a simple thing, right?]
[Knowing that you have lost someone, who do you think the person in front of you is? There are many treasures in this king's treasure house! 】
【Didn’t I say this just now? This king loves the grievances and hatreds of human beings. Now there are people here who want to change the laws of nature, and they are even willing to rely on miracles just to realize their persistent wishes. Among them, there must be one or two interesting characters. At least they will be better than Tokiomi.】
[I will continue to patronize your fine wine in the future. Although the wine here cannot be called nectar, it is all fine wine. It is a pity to leave it in a monk's wine cabinet and let it go sour. ]
She had left, the light in the room faded, and the atmosphere in Kirei's room returned to its dull and boring state.
Kirei, with a calm expression, sat on the sofa, looking at the small props that looked like eyeballs on the table.
This is the treasure that Gilgamesh gave him. Although its performance is not as good as that of ordinary familiars, it is much more concealed than ordinary familiars and can at least complete the requirements.
If you think about it carefully, all the people who participate in this Holy Grail War, whether they are Masters or Servants, are people who are trying their best to achieve their long-cherished wishes. However, this heroic king who goes his own way is not pursuing the Holy Grail. He is only participating in the battle because he does not like to see others fighting for the treasure behind his back and causing trouble.
Among the Servants gathered in Fuyuki City right now, there was probably no one whose reason for joining the war was weaker than that Heroic Spirit. In this respect, Kirei and him were similar—there was probably no other Master who didn't know why he was joining the Holy Grail War.
No, there must be a reason for Kirei to join the war, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why he was the second person to obtain the Command Seals after Tōsaka Tokiomi. Perhaps deep in his heart, without even realizing it himself, Kirei also longed for the miracle of the Holy Grail.
But what he wants is definitely not the "pleasure" he mentioned. Yes, absolutely not!
Kotomine Kirei started to clear the wine bottles on the table, and something occurred to him.
The person who really knows the answer is not me, it should be someone else.
Emiya Kiritsugu. That man was closer to the answer Kirei was looking for than anyone else. Kirei couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, just like the conversation he had just had, if he could also have a question-and-answer session with that man -
Of course, the two sides' positions are completely different. The relationship between these two people is not a conversation, but a gun and a sword. But it doesn't matter, Kirei just wants to understand Kiritsugu. The life-and-death fight at the risk of life can clearly show the man's spiritual world better than any words.
And...his hands paused slightly as he cleared the table.
The young man who had been pursuing him relentlessly from the beginning, Shuoyue.
Where did his murderous intent come from? What was so special about me that attracted him?
Inexplicably, Kotomine Kirei felt that if he could understand the will of either of them, then -
He will find his essence.
As for survival or destruction, that is something to be considered after finding it.
The next day, early in the morning, at Matou Kariya's house
After a night of mental exhaustion, Sakutsuki and Miyu woke up in the same bed.
Shuoyue sat up and yawned, scratched his ruffled hair, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed and put on his slippers.
——These movements are completely synchronized with Miyu.
She was wearing white children's slippers with rabbit ears, which made a cute "puyo puyo" sound when she walked - this was Sakura's treasure.
The two of them kept their movements in high consistency, walking through the living room that was littered with books and snacks, and into the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom, Shuoyue skillfully hooked out the small stool under the sink with his foot, put his hands under Miyu's armpits, picked her up, and put her on the stool so that she could get up high enough to see her face in the mirror.
Fill two cups with water, squeeze toothpaste onto two toothbrushes, one large and one small. Sakutsuki hands the children's toothbrush to Miyu, and they both start brushing their teeth in sync.
"Brush up and down, gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
"Got it, Onii-chan."
It should be a very harmonious picture when looking in the mirror, two lazy bugs who both look sleepy are trying hard to take care of themselves.
Then Shuoyue wrung out the small towel with hot water and spread it on Miyu's face. She obediently stretched out her little hands and started to wipe it herself.
During this time, Shuoyue also finished his own work and washed up. Then Shuoyue looked at Miyu who raised her head and looked at him.
The two of them reached out their hands in tacit understanding.
"rock-paper-scissors."
A ceremony was performed that was the most effective in resolving human disputes since ancient times.
The result was that Miyu continued to win the championship. Sakutsuki admitted defeat and retracted his open palm, while Miyu smiled triumphantly, raised her head proudly like a princess, and declared herself the winner.
"Fresh milk pancakes, honey roasted banana yogurt, and..."
"Sushi, sushi. By the way, I bought some salmon yesterday. Bring it to grill with soy sauce, Sakutsuki."
As they were talking, two guys, one big and one small, squeezed into the bathroom in perfect sync. Kariya squinted his eyes, and Sakura nodded her head, looking like she hadn't woken up yet. It was obvious that they didn't sleep well last night.
Miyu's words were interrupted and she pouted in dissatisfaction. As a result, her body lightened and Sakutsuki carried her out of the bathroom.
"You want grapefruit black tea, right? I'll make it for you. I'll make it all for you." Shuoyue hooked the girl's nose teasingly, silently suppressed his ambition for steamed buns and fried dough sticks, and walked towards the kitchen.
"Let's go, we'll be busy later."
"Don't forget the salmon."
"roll!"
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Kariya and Sakura went about their own business, while Miyu and Sakutsuki walked down the stairs and came to the basement where several layers of barriers were set up.
When the door was opened, figures of different appearances were seen, all tied up with magic belts and wearing skull masks on their faces. They were lowering their heads, as if they were still unconscious - it looked like a den of human traffickers.
[Illustrated record has been updated]
The Hundred Faces of Hassan
[Character Information]: Hassan, the 19th Hassan of the Assassins, is schizophrenic and was betrayed by Asami. His class is the catalyst for summoning Hassan. Therefore, when summoning Hassan by the orthodox procedure, Hassan Sabbah will definitely appear.
[Hidden Information]: Although Hassan Sabbah will definitely appear if summoned using the orthodox procedure, it is another matter if it is summoned using the unorthodox procedure, such as the one summoned in the fifth time, or the swimsuit master, heroine X, Emiya, etc.
Recording conditions
1. Pull out the breath that is blocked (completed)
2. Kill/Defeat/Subdue Hassan Sabbah (Completed)
[Record condition 1 has been completed, and reward is obtained: "Adaptability to breath blocking ability"! ]
[Record condition 2 has been completed, and the reward is: "初@幽#¥%"! ]
Chapter 69 Great, I conquered Assassin!
All I can say is that it is worthy of its reputation for secrecy, and even the rewards are unclear.
Keeping his complaints about the rewards of the Destiny Atlas deep in his heart, Shuoyue looked up at the guys in front of him who needed to be dealt with urgently.
——Those who had severed their contracts with Kotomine Kirei were still alive and well here, but because of the loss of their magic power supply, they were extremely weak. They hung their heads as if they were completely asleep.
Faced with this silent resistance, Shuoyue responded with a strange smile and clapped his hands.
"Meiyu."
"Ah."
Miyu turned and walked out the door, but not long after, she came back in following the fragrant smell.
In her little hands, she held an extremely rich breakfast: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, perfectly cooked milk pancakes; shiny eel sushi; clear grapefruit black tea that seemed to have no impurities...
They look so delicious just by looking at them, making people look forward to tasting them on their tongues.
As mentioned before, the so-called "delusional hallucinations" are nothing more than the embodiment of schizophrenia. As individuals differentiated from the Hundred Faces of Hassan, they have the possibility of expressing themselves unconsciously.
Then there are naturally some people who have no resistance to delicious food~~
With a smile that resembled a little red devil, Shuoyue placed a steaming hot breakfast in front of the people. The tempting aroma penetrated their noses, and he even cast a magic barrier that made their senses more sensitive.
The fragrance immediately filled the airtight basement. The five senses, especially the stomach's perception, were enhanced several times. The Hassans clenched their teeth and used all their strength to resist the temptation of the food.
Calm down, me!
We are the assassins who inherited the name of "Hassan Sabbah", the shadow of an individual and a group, the great old man of the mountain!
How can you succumb to a mere delicacy!
"Still not admitting defeat?"
Shuoyue snapped his fingers, projecting a small fan that blew the fragrance over.
Hassan the Hundred Faces was unable to resist and wanted to surrender, but was suppressed by the other clones, preventing him from disgracing Hassan Sabbah.
But when the young man grinned wickedly and pressed the small fan to the second gear, the precarious defense line finally collapsed.
Cold...I can’t calm down!
“You can kill me or gouge me as you please!” Hassan, who was slightly overweight and looked like a wealthy businessman, shouted to the sky with an angry tone, “At least let me have a bite of food!”
Hassan, with purple hair, who was not sure if he was the main personality, sighed, knowing that the situation was hopeless.
Even if she inherited most of Hassan's characteristics, it would be impossible for her to control all aspects of his personality.
not to mention……
The sound of the death bell still echoed in her mind, and no one knew the meaning of this sound better than those old people in the mountains.
"First Generation Sir..."
The stereo was playing "Getting Ahead". More than 20 Hassans in black robes, whose faces could not be seen, were sitting in a row on small stools. It looked like a pyramid scheme den.
"Ahem, everyone, look at me. I have something to announce!"
The young pyramid scheme leader knocked on the table, raised his hand, and said in high spirits:
"I'll get straight to the point: give up your former Master! Think about what Mapo, oh no, Kotomine Kirei did to you!"
"I tricked you into being killed by Gilgamesh, left your allies to die without help, and finally used you as a meat cushion, just to allow myself to escape!"
"Make a contract with me and become my Servant. From now on, you will be provided with food and accommodation, free water and electricity, and you can also enjoy five insurances and one fund! How about this, such good treatment, you will never get it again if you miss it!"
"Suck~"
It was a pity that such a passionate atmosphere was broken by the sound of someone eating happily. The hundreds of Hassans turned their heads and looked at the guy who surrendered first with contempt. Their eyes clearly revealed one meaning:
It's shameful, just quit the group.
Knowing that she couldn't rely on her own split bodies, the purple-haired woman, Baimao, coughed lightly and took over the responsibility of communicating with Shuoyue:
"We can agree to the contract, but first, you must answer a few questions for us. First, how did the connection between me and the Master... no, the former Master, Kotomine Kirei, become severed?"
The young man smiled refreshingly upon hearing this:
"You're trying to get our secrets before you even become my subordinate? Well, thank you for your help, Miyu."
"Yeah," the transformed Miyu responded, pulling out a card from the card bag strapped to her thigh and placing it on the wand in her hand.
"sapphire."
"Ok."
As the limited light unfolded, the card with the magician's pattern merged with the sapphire cane and turned into a gorgeous dagger.
Unlike the straight tactical dagger, the blade of this dagger is as tortuous as lightning and has a variety of colors. At first glance, it is filled with poison and betrayal.
"All laws must be broken. If that's the case, you who have been given knowledge by the Holy Grail should understand."
Taking the magic weapon, Shuo Yue stabbed Zi Fa Bai Mao's heart from a distance, demonstrating the method of breaking her contract in the Infinite Blade Works.
One of the five class cards looted from Endsworth Castle, with the class name of , Miyu with the Sapphire Cane can perform a Limited Summon or even a Dream Summon of the card to gain the power of other Heroic Spirits - this is one of the trump cards possessed by the Sakuzuki Group.
As a conceptual treasure that is the life of the witch Medea transformed into a tangible object, it can break all kinds of magic. It is easy for him to break the contract between Kotomine Kirei and him.
You know, Medea in the UBW line of the fifth war even used this weapon to make contracts and almost ended the war and obtained the Holy Grail.
In the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Sakuzuki Group, which possessed this treasure, naturally had advantages that ordinary people could hardly predict.
"Unlike Tohsaka Tokiomi's poor performance, the magic belt I have placed on you connects to the imaginary space. Even the 'Aura Disk' of the Holy Church cannot detect your existence, Hassan the Hundred Faces, you have completely turned into the shadow of this war, but I will be the one to control this shadow."
The combination of Shuoyue, who has the advantage of foresight and appears and disappears without a trace, is definitely a nightmare for any Master and Servant.
