After saying "not bad", Gilgamesh, who looked more like a street urchin than the King of Heroes, left leisurely with the box without even saying hello.

That being said, the empty plates on the table betrayed something.

Only Shuoyue was left sitting at the table, staring at the golden apple on the table.

Golden Apple

This was the wedding gift given by the goddess Gaia to Zeus and Hera. In Greek mythology, it triggered a fight among the three goddesses and indirectly led to the ten-year Trojan War. But now, Gilgamesh took it as meal money and casually threw it to the new moon.

[Since you have pleased me, I will give you this treasure, cook.]

The smug expression on Jinshanshan's face when he threw the golden apple was so vivid in Shuoyue's mind that he had the urge to throw it away when he saw it.

Although the so-called golden apple is precious, Gilgamesh is, after all, a servant summoned by the Holy Grail, and not a true demigod king. Naturally, the quality of the treasures in the King's Treasure is no longer as effective as those in the Age of Gods.

In simple terms, it means being able to maintain Shuoyue's physical condition so that he does not commit suicide in the Holy Grail War.

"But only a fool would eat it directly. What era is this? Wouldn't it be more effective if it is made into a potion with other ingredients?"

After muttering something in a low voice, Sakutsuki tossed the golden apple into Xushu's pocket, removed the soundproofing barrier, and stood up to walk towards Miyu and her group.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, he was dragged by Irisviel into the car sent by Kiritsugu. He stared at Shuoyue lovingly through the car window until the car started and disappeared completely in the distance of the road.

For someone who is used to eating mashed potatoes or dark dishes, this lunch prepared by Shuoyue herself must be painful for her.

Short-lived happiness is meaningless, especially since Ai Li-chan, who was stimulated today, plans to cook by herself...

"Pfft." Shuoyue laughed out loud in an unkind way.

"Come on, Miyu, we should prepare for the battle tonight."

"Okay, Onii-chan."

Following behind Shuoyue, Miyu stared at her brother's back, with a barely perceptible worry on her cold face.

Although she sat obediently at another table and did not eavesdrop on the conversation between her brother and , but...her brother did not tell Sapphire not to listen, did he?

Although it took some effort to infiltrate the soundproof barrier, Sapphire still heard the second half of Gilgamesh's words.

[You look like... you won't live much longer? ]

And her brother Shuoyue did not deny it.

"Onii-chan..."

Back at the Matou residence, Kariya and Sakura had not returned yet. After all, in Matou Kariya's eyes, Sakura's happiness was much happier than the so-called Holy Grail War.

"To sum up, Brother Lancelot, you are also an old spare tire." Patting the Black Knight on the shoulder, Shuoyue whistled and walked into the basement leisurely, completely unaware of the impact of Gilgamesh's words on him.

"Ah, Miyu, you don't have to come down. What's coming next is not suitable for children."

"I'm not a child anymore, Onii-chan."

Having said that, Miyu still obediently returned to her room.

In addition to the spoils from a day of play in the morning, she also needed time to think of ways to help her brother.

When Sakutsuki came to the basement, he restrained the relaxed smile in front of Miyu, squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and snapped his fingers.

, report the situation. "

"As you command, our Lord of Shadows."

The purple-haired assassin quietly emerged from the darkness.

"According to your instructions, we have successfully infiltrated the Tohsaka Residence and the Einzbern Castle, as well as a Japanese-style residence you requested, and have installed surveillance. You can monitor their every move at any time if you wish."

Wait a minute, plant a few bombs in Einzbern Castle, remember, in Kiritsugu Emiya's room."

"As ordered."

"I was just taking Miyu out to play today, and it was a pleasant surprise to see Kazuto not being with the Master." Sakutsuki closed his eyes as if he was tired, "But that's not what I want to ask."

"Have you found the person I asked you to look for?"

"I'm sorry, Master." The purple-haired woman bowed her head. "Although we have tried our best to search, we still only found the trace of one of them."

After a pause, she said the man's name:

"The Grand Puppet Master, Aozaki Touko."

"You found the hardest one first... It just so happens that I need to get some materials from her."

"Do you need us to do anything?"

“No, don’t underestimate this Grand Puppet Master.” Shuoyue shook his head. “Once you find her, just activate the familiar I gave you.”

There was a pause in his tone, and suddenly, Shuoyue laughed.

[Illustrated record has been updated]

[Hidden condition 2*: 'Make food that stimulates Kotomine Kirei' has been completed, and you will receive a reward: Bajiquan - Master Level! ]

The sudden news made Shuoyue pause, but he soon started laughing.

"Yes, just as I expected. It seems that the fake priest has no resistance to mapo tofu."

Although he mentioned his former Master, the gesture of Baimao lowering his head did not change at all. Under the miracle of the third law, Baimao's loyalty to Shuoyue increased sharply, easily surpassing the original Master Kotomine Kirei.

"Keep lurking. I'm afraid you'll be sleepless tonight."

"Yes, Master... Please be safe."

Aozaki Touko is an important character in the game series "Magical Night" and the novel and animation "Sara no Kyoukai". She is the sister of Aozaki Aoko, one of the few remaining magicians.

A guide to the story in "Kara no Kyoukai", not a participant. The owner of the Kobo Garan-no-do. "Kara no Kyoukai" cannot be a story without her.

By the way, I wonder if the legendary quest "The Fall of Jialan" in the certain source comes from here...

Chapter 76 Einzbern Castle and the Bomb Crisis

He scraped up every last bit of oil and water, stuffed it into his mouth, and finally put down the spoon.

The entire plate of bright red special mapo tofu had disappeared, leaving only the shiny new white porcelain plate.

"This is really the first time I see you like this, Kirei. Lying on the sofa beside him, smiling lazily.

He was the only one who witnessed the wanton gluttony that devoured everything a few minutes ago.

After confirming through various means that this was just a normal plate of mapo tofu, Kotomine Kirei tried to take a bite, and then - he became what he is now.

It was not known whether it was due to a deviation in perception or some other reason, but Kotomine Kirei's sense of taste was not sensitive. He could only sense the deliciousness of food when it was extremely spicy, which was close to the stimulation of pain.

For him, this plate of Mapo Tofu is a rare delicacy.

It’s just… the fact that this dish actually came from Shuoyue was something that even Kotomine Kirei, who was used to seeing all kinds of things in the world, found very strange.

The person who wanted to kill you not only didn’t say anything harsh, but even treated you to delicious food?

What is this? A final meal?

Or... a letter of challenge?

"As expected, you two have the same idea. Interesting." Gilgamesh saw through Kotomine Kirei's thoughts at a glance, and his snake-like eyes narrowed with interest. "Why don't you think that Shuoyue wants to reconcile with you?"

"There is a limit to joking, Hero King." Kotomine Kirei wiped the corner of his mouth calmly and said, "From the moment he chased me, no, as early as a year ago, I knew that he really wanted to kill me, but I didn't know why."

"That's because he has sensed your true nature, Kirei." The king, with a graceful posture, raised his wine glass and admired Kotomine Kirei's distressed expression from a high position. "The cook judged that your future actions would have an impact on him, so instead of letting you act freely, it would be better to strangle you in advance before you commit a crime."

Kotomine Kirei did not answer immediately. He was attracted by a word that Gilgamesh blurted out.

"You mean... 'committing a crime'?"

"Oh, did you hear anything? I didn't say anything." Like a child who tears off a few pieces of homework because there are too many questions, Gilgamesh presented this kind of smile to Kotomine Kirei.

Realizing that he could not get any more information from him, Kotomine Kirei stood up and walked out without saying a word.

"Where are you going, Kirei?"

"It's just a free move. You don't need to follow me, Hero King."

After saying this with a hint of sarcasm, Kotomine Kirei put on a specially made robe, took on dozens of black keys, and looked through the wall of the church towards a place in Fuyuki City.

Although Tōsaka Tokiomi did not say anything, he did reduce communication with his apprentice after Kotomine Kirei's death, but this also gave Kotomine Kirei more opportunities to act.

According to the information gathered before his death, the Einzbern family's base should be in the deep mountains and forests near the national highway.

Although Kotomine Kirei firmly believed that he could find the answer he wanted in the sword fight, Sakutsuki's several attacks had proved that his murderous intention towards Kotomine Kirei was unshakable. If he appeared rashly, he would only be easily killed by the young man with golden eyes.

Then, the only candidate left is the magician killer, Emiya Kiritsugu.

What kind of answer can he give me?

With the most sincere desire for knowledge, the man with a distressed face took a step forward and started tonight's action.

Behind him, the golden king showed a mysterious smile.

He who is still unaware of the joy of his own nature;

Kill the savior within you for the sake of your desire;

A truly passionate person who only follows the laws of his heart.

For the Hero King Gilgamesh, Kotomine Kirei, Emiya Kiritsugu and Sakutsuki are his greatest pleasure in this Holy Grail War. Especially the various accidents caused by the collisions between them will definitely present him with a show more interesting than the best drama.

Amid unbridled laughter, the empty wine glass fell onto the soft carpet, and the king who once used it was nowhere to be seen.

Dusk.

Thirty kilometers to the west of Fuyuki City, a national highway runs east-west through a mountainous area far from human habitation. On both sides of the road are lush green forests that seem to have been forgotten by the overwhelming residential development boom.

It is said that there is a "dream castle" in the deepest part of this forest. Only a very small number of magicians know that this castle really exists.

This is a magical city that welcomes its master every sixty years and becomes a wartime base.

This castle is a different dimension protected by layers of illusions and magic barriers. Except for extremely accidental situations, it is absolutely impossible for the outside world to discover it. People who know the true origin of this castle call this deep forest "Einzbern Forest".

When the Holy Grail War began in Fuyuki, Ahadeon, the head lord of the Einzbern family, disdained to set up a base in the territory of his rival, the Tosaka family, so he used his financial resources to buy the entire sacred land closest to Fuyuki and used it as the base of the Einzbern family.

It was the night before the Third Holy Grail War, and the world was facing the Second World War. It was a tense era. Legend has it that the Einzbern used the entire forest as a barrier and rebuilt a sub-city from Einzbern to there. This shows their family's amazing financial strength and perseverance.

The most ironic thing is that the Tohsaka family was the one who was responsible for the intermediary work when purchasing the land and the covert work in the local area.

At this time, the combatant living in this castle, Emiya Kiritsugu, was waking up from his corpse-like slumber.

Mental disassembly and maintenance. This is the way of sleep that Kiritsugu Emiya practices. It is to decompose the consciousness through self-hypnosis spells and use strong medicine to eliminate fatigue along with the consciousness field.

This spell was not difficult for self-hypnosis, but even if it was only temporary, most people were unwilling to cut their consciousness into meaningless fragments, and even fewer would do so voluntarily. However, Kiritsugu simply believed that this was the best way to sleep from the perspective of efficiency, so he often used this magic.

The dreamless sleep lasted only a moment from a sensory perspective. After three hours of mental care, Emiya Kiritsugu opened his eyes and regained his rationality in a very short time. He stood up slightly and subconsciously glanced at his safe place.

Almost instantly, his expression froze and his body tensed up instantly, not daring to move at all.

Someone had sneaked into his safe house while he was sleeping, bypassing the guards of others and even his servants.

The small traps that had been set had been moved, and in some places a few deep shadows appeared under the bloody sunset.

That look, that outline—

It's a bomb.

Please read on, and please turn to the last page to finish, so that there will be follow-up reading data, please! (My king is cute

Chapter 77 Saber Group's Meeting and Invasion

Half an hour later, a tense atmosphere filled the reception room, and the invisible oppression almost made Irisviel breathless.

It all started with a few small cylindrical objects placed on the reception table.

That is a trigger bomb, a thermal weapon that is extremely dangerous to humans.

Standing beside the reception table, Emiya Kiritsugu had a deep look in his eyes and slightly moved his aching limbs.

In order to avoid an explosion caused by his reckless actions, he maintained a half-raised posture, and through the contract between him and his Servant, he called over Hisau Maiya, who chiseled a hole in the wall to enter, and only then was he able to safely dismantle all the bombs in the room.

"The analysis report is out. The tripwire of the bomb is connected to the door of the room. It is expected that the impact range will be small and only the bedroom will be destroyed." After dismantling one of the bombs, Hisashi Maiya came to the conclusion.

"In other words, it's just an attack against me..." Even though he had just escaped death, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he pondered as if it had nothing to do with him, and asked:

"By the way, Ellie, have you mastered the barrier spell for this forest?"

"Yes, no problem. I didn't find any flaws in the barrier, and the alarm and patrol functions are all normal... I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter. The bigger the barrier technique is, the more flaws it has. It's normal to be broken if you concentrate on infiltrating." After casually saying this to comfort him, Emiya Kiritsugu continued his thoughts.
