Sister Rescue Plan

He put his hands inside his clothes, turned around, and stared intently at a certain alleyway entrance.

The surprise attack plan failed.

Izayoi Mirai sighed. Sure enough, even with magic that conceals one's aura, a martial artist's intuition could detect the problem. This bug-like ability was truly unreasonable.

He crouched slightly, shifting his spine inch by inch, and then leaped out like a cheetah, pouncing on Kirei Kotomine.

Now that we've discovered him, we shouldn't give him any time to summon heroic spirits.

Three points of cold light shot out and instantly arrived in front of Izayoi Mirai. They were Kirei Kotomine's signature weapon, the Black Key.

Izayoi Mirai reached out and pushed the black keys aside, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds on his two arms.

With Medea's healing magic, unless you suffer a fatal injury, just pretend you're not injured and deal with it after the battle.

Izayoi Mirai's momentum remained undiminished, and her fists landed squarely on Kirei Kotomine's left arm.

Click—

The sound of bones cracking reached their ears. Kirei Kotomine used the force to gracefully retreat. He straightened his twisted left arm, and a surge of magical energy flowed through his body, almost healing his left arm.

Yushou Mirai narrowed his eyes. His pause at this moment was not because he intended to hold back, but because he was digesting the incomplete fist technique that had suddenly appeared in his mind.

Bajiquan (incomplete)

This is precisely why Mirai Izayoi personally went to deal with Kirei Kotomine. Compared to the Viper Technique, which can only be used once or twice against a single person, the powerful Bajiquan is certainly more suitable.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to just have Medea cast a high-damage spell and kill him outright?

Yuuyo Mirai pounced again, her fierce and bizarre fist techniques attacking from all impossible angles, sometimes like a python coiling around, sometimes like a venomous snake biting.

I thought Kirei Kotomine's fate would be to be beaten into a tattered sack, lying on the ground with his bones shattered, at my mercy.

Unexpectedly, he withstood his punch. A surge of magical power coursed through his body, greatly strengthening his physique and enabling him to contend with Yoruichi Mirai.

Where does he get such abundant magic?

Izayoi Mirai found it somewhat difficult to understand; she only remembered the general outline of the Fifth Holy Grail War and couldn't recall many details.

But whatever, Kirei Kotomine is no match for him.

Each clash between the two generated a powerful gust of wind strong enough to overturn tables and chairs, but Kirei Kotomine was in a very bad state.

Admittedly, his boxing skills were skillful and powerful, and he had reached another level during his time as an agent, fighting against magicians and heretics. He should have been able to defeat Izayoi Mirai.

However, whenever Yosuke Mirai's fist touched his body, his limbs would freeze slightly, which kept him at a disadvantage.

In a battle, such a mistake would be fatal. Fortunately, his experience far surpassed that of Yoshiki Miku, so he only fell into a disadvantageous position.

Can't I touch his fist?

Kirei Kotomine made a decisive choice. He risked taking two punches from Mirai Izayoi, using the force to create some distance, and reached into his clothes.

Black keys!

Five cold lights struck towards Youxiao Future's face, but he used the force of the blow to break a street lamp with an Iron Mountain Lean, slicing off the excess part with his palm, leaving a sharp tip.

He used the pole as a spear, pointing directly at the future of the night.

How can someone who knows Bajiquan not know how to wield a spear?

Six Harmony Great Spear!

He thrust his spear forward, like a yellow dragon piercing straight in.

At that moment, a large spear shot out from the shadows. Passing by Yosuke, he grabbed it and, in turn, faced Kirei Kotomine with his spear in hand.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

The two guns clashed and struck each other continuously, sparking brilliant flashes.

This was a pure contest of martial arts, so it's not surprising that Izayoi Mirai was overpowered by Kotomine Kirei.

"How about we stop here?" Kirei Kotomine slowed his attack. Judging from the spear he had just used, the enemy's Servant was hiding in the shadows.

Although it's unclear why the Servant didn't kill him, if he dared to endanger Yoru's future life, then he would have no chance of survival in the face of the enraged Servant.

"Is it really over like this? What a pity." Izayoi Mirai stopped, clicking her tongue in regret.

Kirei Kotomine asked in his stiff tone, "Why have you gone back on your word? As an ally, why are you attacking me?"

"An ally?" Izayoi Mirai raised an eyebrow. "Who are you?"

Kirei Kotomine was taken aback, only then realizing that he had forgotten to have Cú Chulainn announce his name that night, so Mirai Izayoi was unaware of her ally's identity.

Is it because he raised Rin that he's started to mess things up?

He brushed aside the strange thoughts that had welled up in his mind and put on the standard smile befitting a priest: "My name is Kirei Kotomine, I am a priest and the Master of Lancer. I formed an alliance with you the night before last."

"So it was all a misunderstanding, Father Kotomine. I'm so sorry." Mirai Izayoi looked apologetic.

"It's alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up. May I leave now?"

After learning that the Servant of Izayoi Future was also present, he abandoned his idea of ​​summoning the Servant with a Command Spell.

“Of course.” Izayoi Mirai nodded, then, as if remembering something, said to the priest who was about to leave, “By the way, Father Kotomine, for the sake of our alliance, I’ll give you a piece of advice.”

"Oh?"

"If you eat too much spicy food in the morning, it's like being gay. Your butt will hurt the next day, as if every man in Fuyuki City has been with you."

Along with the words came a long spear, fierce and resolute.

“Is that so?” Father Kotomine turned around and parried the spear, a subtle smile playing on his lips as he looked at Izayoi Mirai with a hint of regret, then revealed a pleased smile. “That is truly a pity.”

Behind Izayoi Mirai, a scarlet spear came hurtling towards her.

We've arrived in Cú Chulainn.

Chapter Fourteen: Pursuing Pleasure and Achieving Success

Cú Chulainn's spear came to an abrupt halt before it could even touch Mirai Izayoi's body. Behind him, a girl in a long robe performed an intricate magic spell on his back, and he stood there motionless like a statue.

Something's not right. Kirei Kotomine's eyes flashed coldly. As a battle-hardened warrior, he shouldn't be completely unprepared for an attack from behind. After all, he himself doesn't mind ambushing enemies from behind. With his speed and reflexes, there's absolutely no chance of him being hit.

And Caster's performance, judging from her choice of magic, was utterly idiotic. If she misjudged Lancer's magic resistance, or if Lancer dodged her spells, in close combat, almost a single shot would have been enough to kill her, unless—

She was quite certain that her magic trick would work.

So, I fell for their trap from the very beginning? Kirei Kotomine finally realized that Mirai Izayoi knew his identity, and that the person he was allied with was not him, but Cú Chulainn.

He must have found out through some means that Cú Chulainn's first Master was killed by him in a sneak attack, and that Cú Chulainn had no choice but to sign a Servant contract with him. This makes sense, as he knew that when he came to kill him, Cú Chulainn would slack off or even try to help him.

"You have that 'I've seen through you' look on your face, are you trying to be cute?" Yuuyo Mirai grinned, her marksmanship becoming even more ruthless.

In terms of martial arts alone, he is naturally no match for Kirei Kotomine, but his weapon is superior!

Kirei Kotomine's crudely made spear, crafted from a lamppost, was already showing signs of wear and tear, with cracks spreading along its length. He had to use it with even greater care, focusing on close-quarters combat to avoid damaging the pole further. Next time, Mirai Izayoi wouldn't give him another chance to break a lamppost.

After appearing once, Medea quickly retreated into the shadows, concealing her figure and aura. Logically, she should have been helping Mirai Izayoi bind Kirei Kotomine so as to steal Bajiquan.

Before long, danger descended from the sky. Two short blades shot towards Yushou Mirai, but he dodged them and they were pinned to the ground, almost completely embedded up to the hilt.

"Kiri, you really look terrible."

A magnetic voice came from the sky, and a handsome young man with blond hair and red eyes, wearing a shirt, stood on a street lamp, looking down at the crowd.

"Here you are, Archer." Kirei Kotomine's aura subsided, and the magical power he gained by consuming Command Seals began to fade, and he reverted to being the mortal priest once again.

"It's truly a pity that he would attempt to kill an ally." Kirei Kotomine smiled with pleasure. "Did you think I only had that stupid big dog? The King of Heroes is the one I've been waiting for."

"May the Lord have mercy on us."

He made the sign of the cross on his chest with his finger, praying as a priest for the imminent death of Yoshinori, but the slight upturn of his lips revealed no trace of pity.

The handsome spirit waved his hand, not even bothering to glance at Izayoi Mirai. A golden ripple spread behind him, and various weapons, including swords, spears, and halberds, emerged, ready to shoot down and pierce Izayoi Mirai at any moment.

He's finally out, Gilgamesh.

Izayoi Mirai remained completely unmoved, even feeling a slight urge to laugh, as she sent out the signal.

And so, the air was torn apart—

A sharp, explosive sound came from afar, like a deep rumble of thunder. The atmosphere was ablaze as a ball of flame enveloped a strangely shaped greatsword, which shot straight toward Gilgamesh.

Pseudo-Spiral Sword.

From 1,400 meters away.

Gilgamesh probably didn't expect anyone to ambush him, and for a moment he didn't even have time to react. The spiral greatsword instantly traveled a long distance and shot in front of him, followed by a violent explosion.

The Noble Phantasm, imbued with the power of thunder, exploded, sending countless arcs of electricity flashing through the air like snakes. Flames powerful enough to melt steel flew everywhere, landing on the roof and the ground, burning out craters of all sizes.

Kirei Kotomine's smile froze. The scorching heat hitting him made him instinctively take two steps back and close his eyes. It was at this moment that a potentially fatal crisis struck.

His intuition, honed between life and death, saved his life. He twisted his body with all his might, and at the same time, another Command Seal hidden on his arm was deactivated, and abundant magic power once again filled his body. He swung the lamppost he was holding toward the direction of the approaching crisis.

Click—

The nearly broken lamppost flew up, along with Kirei Kotomine's right hand, which spurted blood.

"You bastards, how dare you..."

At the heart of the flames and lightning, a furious voice rang out, accompanied by an overwhelming aura. Alarm bells rang in Mirai's mind; it was too late to kill the magically enhanced Kirei Kotomine. He grabbed Kirei's severed right arm and called out, "Medea!"

"Caster!"

Medea appeared beside him, her magical aura enveloping Izayoi Mirai and the frozen Cú Chulainn. A pre-prepared teleportation spell was activated, taking them away from the scene.

As soon as they disappeared, dozens of Noble Phantasms sank into the ground. A furious Gilgamesh emerged, his golden armor shattered and covered in blood, making him look extremely disheveled.

"So close, so close—"

His once arrogant and handsome face was now gloomy; he was just a hair's breadth away from being killed.

The fear of impending death transformed into a raging rage, his crimson eyes burning fiercely. But the assassin in the distance had already vanished, and the scheming Youxiao Mirai had also just escaped. A chilling killing intent permeated his entire being.

“These bastards are simply unforgivable!” Gilgamesh turned around, his blood-red eyes fixed on Kirei Kotomine. “Kirei, you should know which gutter those bastards are hiding in, right? I will show them what the wrath of a king is.”

"Please calm your anger, King of Heroes." Kirei Kotomine tore off a corner of his robe, and the healing magic stored in his Mystic Code began to stop his bleeding. He replied in a calm tone, "It is daytime now, and the Holy Grail War cannot be exposed to the public eye."

The violent explosion had already attracted a lot of attention; Kirei Kotomine could even hear footsteps rushing towards them.

As a member of the church, ensuring that the mystery remains unknown to ordinary people is also part of his job. Although he doesn't care, the priest's cloak is still quite necessary for now.
