Type-Moon My Destiny Illustrated Book

Looking at Kirei’s face lost in thought, he smiled knowingly.

"Kirei, you should have figured it out by now, right? What is the true meaning of this question?"

What did you say? "

"If you were asked the same question about any other Master, you would quickly realize that the question is meaningless and a complete waste of effort. But you didn't realize that about Kariya. You gave up your usual precise thinking and indulged in meaningless fantasies. You forgot how meaningless this matter was, and you didn't mind the fruitlessness of your efforts. This is what is called 'interest'."

With his arms spread out, there was still no trace of warmth on his face. Instead, he was glowing with pure joy, like a child observing an ant nest.

"Celebrate well, Kirei. Your never-ending pilgrimage is finally reaching its destination. You finally understand what 'entertainment' means."

Trembling as if struck by thunder, Kotomine Kirei's brain went blank, but in that empty sea of ​​soul, something seemed to float up.

I want to see my wife in even more pain.

I want my father to experience the most extreme way of death——

I am looking forward to the ugly ending after Kariya’s wish comes true—

The exhortations of the gods could no longer stop Kirei, and he finally understood that benevolence, justice, and morality could not bring him any answers.

Finally, the man let out a long sigh, a sigh that was a little lonely and full of joy after reaching his destination:

"What is this...what on earth am I?"

In the end, the hypocritical sighs stopped, and the man dressed as a priest simply held his stomach and laughed loudly, even though he was out of breath:

"So twisted? So filthy? Is this really the child of Kotomine Risho? Hahahaha, impossible, no way! What is this? Could it be that my father gave birth to a four-legged beast?"

"Are you satisfied, Kirei?" Gilgamesh asked with a delighted smile.

"No, not yet. That alone is not enough."

While wiping away his tears, Kirei shook his head and replied:

"I did find the answer in this life of searching, which is a great progress. However, this does not solve the problem at all. The answer was just thrown in front of me suddenly, and the process or path to solve it was omitted. How can I accept this?"

The priest, with a refreshed spirit, smiled and raised his right hand.

Was it because of excessive joy that he ignored the pain on the back of his hand? At some point, the Command Seal symbolizing the Master reappeared on his hand.

"The formula that led to my strange existence must be some kind of clear reason, and it must exist somewhere. No, it must exist. I must pursue and explore what it is... and this Holy Grail War will obviously give me the answer I want."

Facing Kotomine Kirei's declaration of rejoining the war, he laughed out loud:

“Hahaha, you are such a wonderful guy that I never get tired of watching you… It seems that my efforts to force you to grow faster are worth it. But Kirei, you will soon be in big trouble.”

After laughing for a while, a cunning, yet extremely evil and dangerous look appeared in his blood-red eyes.

"If you want to participate in the Holy Grail War on your own will, Tōsaka Tokiomi will become your enemy. This means that you are now unarmed and are in the same room with the enemy's Servants with your bare hands. Don't you think this situation is dangerous?"

"Not really. I have already figured out how to beg for mercy."

"Oh?"

Narrowing his eyes with interest, Kirei continued speaking calmly.

"Since you are going to be an enemy of Tokiomi-sensei, I don't need to cover up his lies anymore - Gilgamesh, I will tell you the truth behind the Holy Grail War that you don't know yet."

Chapter 160: The Disaster of Tousaka Tokiomi

The ceremony held in Fuyuki was actually an experiment to gather the souls of seven heroes as sacrifices in an attempt to open a passage to the 'root'.

The promise of 'achieving a miracle' was merely a bait to summon the Heroic Spirits, and because rumors about the 'bait' spread so widely, only the current form of the Holy Grail War remains.

This truth is only known to the Matou, Tousaka, and Einzbern families and those who are related to them. It must not be known to the outside magicians and the seven servants.

"The only magus who truly wants to fulfill his long-cherished wish in this war is Tōsaka Tokiomi. He wants to kill all seven Servants to activate the Greater Holy Grail. Seven people."

This time, it was Kirei's turn to find pleasure in the King of Heroes' reaction:

"All of it, do you understand? Gilgamesh, this is why Tokiomi-sensei is so reluctant to use Command Seals. He can only use two Command Seals at most when fighting other Masters, because the last Command Seal must be used to order his Servant to commit suicide after the war is over."

After hearing so much, there was no expression on his face:

"Are you saying that Tokiomi's loyalty to the king is all false?"

Kirei shook his head and said, "He did pay the utmost respect to 'Hero King Gilgamesh'. But you, as an archer Servant, are another matter."

"You are just a replica of the King of Heroes, a mere statue, a portrait. When it comes down to it, Tokiomi-sensei is a complete magus. As long as he thinks about it, he knows that Servants are just props. Even if he has respect for the Heroic Spirits, he will not have any illusions about the heroic idols."

After hearing everything, he nodded deeply as if he had finally understood something, and his unique evil smile reappeared on his face. His expression was broad and cruel, high-spirited and supreme. It was the smile of an absolute king whose all values ​​depended on his own aesthetics.

“This Tokiomi guy——finally, he’s a little interesting. This way, that boring man seems to be able to finally bring some fun to this king.”

If you just think about the implication of this sentence, you will know how fierce and sad this declaration is, enough to freeze one's blood.

"What are you going to do, King of Heroes? After hearing all this, are you still going to stand on Tokiomi-sensei's side and condemn my betrayal?"

“What should I do? Although Tokiomi was unfaithful to me, he is still devoting his magic power to me. Even if I completely abandon my Master, it will have an impact on the world…”

Having said this, those eyes with deep meaning stared at Kirei without any concealment.

"I remember now - there seems to be another Master who has obtained the Command Seals but has no contract partner and is looking for a stray Servant who has broken away from the contract."

"Now that you mention it, it is true."

Faced with such a blatant invitation, Kirei smiled and nodded in response.

"But I don't know if he is a Master that the King of Heroes would like."

"No problem. Although he is a little bit stubborn, his future is bright and he should be able to please the king."

Just like that, the most evil group of Masters and Servant looked at each other and smiled.

This might be the interesting thing about fate—even though Sakutsuki targeted Kirei so much and even put him in prison, he and Kirei were like the two poles of a magnet, so easily mixed together.

When it was already dark, Kotomine Kirei stood in front of the door of the Tōsaka residence.

With the help of , escaping from the prison was a piece of cake. In just half a minute, Kotomine Kirei stood in front of the mansion where he had spent three years.

"Welcome, Kirei. I've been looking for you."

Although Kirei's visit was unexpected, Tōsaka Tokiomi still appeared at the door as soon as he heard the doorbell. He must have been busy after the stabbing of the priest in the afternoon.

"I am here to discuss the death of my father."

"Really?... It happened so suddenly. I'm really sorry. I didn't expect my old friend to leave us in this way."

"I feel the same way. Father shouldn't have left so hastily." Kotomine Kirei agreed with this and at Tōsaka Tokiomi's invitation, he stepped into his home again.

Judging from Tōsaka Tokiomi's haggard look and his no longer calm expression, the death of the old priest Kotomine Risei must have been a great blow to him.

Appreciating his teacher's pain, Kotomine Kirei communicated seriously with Tōsaka Tokiomi, promising their long-standing alliance, promising to take care of his daughter for him, and accepting his praise... Just when he could no longer hold back and wanted to take action, Tokiomi suddenly picked up a slender ebony box on the desk and handed it to Kirei.

"Open it and take a look. This is something I personally want to give to you."

Kirei opened the lid as instructed and saw a handsome dagger lying in the velvet lining.

"This is--"

"This is the Asodo sword, a jeweled artifact passed down from my family. If you fill it with magic power, it can also be used as a gift. This sword proves that you have studied magic of the Tohsaka family and completed the internship course."

Kirei picked up the dagger and examined it, spending a long time studying the sharp tip of the sword.

In Tokiomi's eyes, Kirei's face, which concealed all emotion, might have been an expression of great emotion.

"My Master... You have shown such great kindness to a humble disciple like me. I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

"I should be thanking you, Kotomine Kirei. This way I can face the final battle without any worries."

Tokiomi stood up from the sofa while speaking with a bright expression that showed no malice in it.

At this moment——the word "fate" could not help but emerge in Kirei's mind.

Some people say that fate is a slim attempt to find special meaning in the accumulation of coincidences. Then, is it possible that even this extremely coincidental fact that Tōsaka Tokiomi personally handed the sword to Kotomine Kirei at this time has no inevitability?

"I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time. In the next Holy Grail War, I will help you and the old priest win together—"

And now, was it just a coincidence that Tokiomi, who was walking towards the door, showed his back to Kirei without any precautions?

"No, you don't have to worry, Master."

If this is inevitable, is the so-called fate simply caused by stupidity, mistakes and ignorance? Is it to betray people's wishes and hopes and lead everything in the wrong direction?

Kirei smiled, a happy smile he had never had before.

"Because I never intended to withdraw from the Holy Grail War."

Kirei was surprised that he could actually smile like this. Facing this unexpected gain, even the feeling of him stabbing the dagger into the back of the figure in front of him became less clear.

what? "

The mercury sword, a symbol of friendship and trust, penetrated smoothly between the ribs and stabbed into the center of the heart. Only a trained agent could have such an extremely accurate stabbing technique. There was no killing intent, no signs, and even Tokiomi himself, who was being assassinated, could not understand what the severe pain in his chest meant for a moment.

But something reacted faster than Tokiomi.

The gems in his pocket shattered one after another, and the dagger was ejected from the resistance field woven by magic power. Pure energy poured into the magic circuit, continuously transforming into vitality, trying to repair Toosaka Tokiomi's broken heart.

——After Matou Kariya’s first assassination attempt was almost successful, Tōsaka Tokiomi had already made sufficient preparations to guard against a second assassination attempt that might come at any time.

But perhaps because the visitor was Kotomine Kirei, his favorite student, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not activate all of his ceremonial equipment. The only gem that could sense danger in advance and provide protection also conflicted with the magic power that Tōsaka Tokiomi personally injected into the sword, and was ultimately one step late.

"Kirei, you!" With blood gushing out of his throat, Tōsaka Tokiomi muttered incoherently, then reached out his hand, wanting to pick up the cane on the table and fight back.

However, as an agent, Kotomine Kirei's reaction was faster than his. The moment the dagger was deflected, his eyes turned fierce, he dropped the mercury sword, and attacked Tokiomi with both fists as if he was tearing the air.

His best killing skill cannot be matched by any dagger!

Just when Kotomine Kirei's fist was about to hit Tokiomi, a black shadow rushed out faster than them all, grabbed the seriously injured Tōsaka Tokiomi, blocked Kirei's punch with his alien-like thick right hand, and used the force to break through the wall of the villa, disappearing into the darkness outside.

Chapter 161: On the verge of death, the new moon arrives

Today is such a chaotic day - I'm sure everyone participating in the Holy Grail War is thinking this way.

Since the church announced the news of Shuo Yue's 'death' in the morning, troubles have come one after another.

The mysterious class card heroic spirit strikes.

In order to save him, Waver used up his last two Command Spells.

Kotomine Kirei of the Cathedral Church was arrested on charges of "blowing up the Hyatt Hotel".

'Emiya Kiritsugu' killed the supervisor Kotomine Risei and took away dozens of Command Seals (suspected), becoming the target of public criticism.

Shuoyue is doing something secretly.

Emiya Kiritsugu was ready to act.

Kotomine Kirei awakens and unites with the King of Heroes...

One thing after another was enough to make any master panic and hide in the workshop waiting for the storm to pass. However, for Kariya, no matter what happened, it could not stop his actions tonight.

——He planned to try to assassinate Tōsaka Tokiomi again tonight.

The reason was simple. Although he had only just started learning magic, he still knew that the longer the preparation time, the harder it would be to kill a magician. Moreover, now that he and Shuoyue had drawn a clear line, it would not be surprising if Shuoyue came to him at any time to ask for the Class Card.

Time was not on his side.

Moreover, Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, is an existence that Sakutsuki has to deal with carefully. Even though Kariya has great confidence in himself, he is also well aware of the gap in level between himself and Tokiomi.

In order to obtain the Holy Grail, they must defeat Tokiomi and, and the only way to defeat this powerful group is to skip them and attack the Lord instead.

In other words, assassinate the Master.

Therefore, after hastily recovering his magic power, Kariya took advantage of the dark night and transformed himself into Cursed Arm Hassan to sneak into Tōsaka Tokiomi's residence again.

Even though Tokiomi had already reinforced the magic barrier of the Tōsaka residence, the level of the servants, especially Hassan, whose main job at the moment was the Cursed Arm, was still beyond his imagination. In front of the extremely mysterious Demon Arm, even the barrier formed by the connection of gems took Kariya half a quarter of an hour to break through.

Suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, Matō Kariya successfully arrived at the reception room of the Tōsaka family, just in time to see Tōsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei sitting opposite each other, having a long conversation.

Assassinate now? Even if Sakutsuki said Kotomine Kirei is very strong, I, who have the power of a Servant, can kill them all... But Kotomine Kirei is no longer the Master, am I going to kill innocent people?

While Kariya was thinking, Tokiomi handed the wooden box on the table to Kirei, then stood up, as if he was about to leave.

Then, a scene occurred that made Kariya almost scream out in shock—Kotomine Kirei drew his sword like lightning and pierced his mentor’s heart from behind!

His experience with the cursed arm told him that this stab was unreserved, and the dagger would definitely destroy Tōsaka Tokiomi's heart. Even if Tokiomi survived now, he would never be able to see the sun the next day.

Toosaka Tokiomi is dead.

After realizing this, Matou Kariya curled up the corners of his mouth as he had imagined countless times, but was surprised to find that there was not much joy in this smile.

No, how is that possible.
