The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Kirei Kotomine felt extremely pleased.

This is the feeling he has been able to experience, and it is also the new faith he has found.

Next, all that's needed is to plunge the dagger into this guy's heart, then...

"Speaking of which, Kirei."

Just as Kirei Kotomine was itching to see Tokiomi slip up, the other man suddenly asked him a question.

"You seem to be getting quite close to that man lately, it's hard to believe... you actually managed to pique his interest?"

Upon hearing this, Kirei Kotomine was stunned.

"Huh? This... I didn't expect that either."

He never imagined that his relationship with Gilgamesh would be discovered by Tokiomi.

It seems this guy isn't as arrogant and conceited as he appears...

Kirei Kotomine thought to herself.

However, at this moment, he clearly understood the significance of clarifying his authenticity.

After all, if we don't do this, a crisis will inevitably break out in the future.

The thought that he might not be able to see what happens after Tokiomi's death made Kirei Kotomine feel extremely uncomfortable.

Therefore, having long abandoned his old moral code, he lied without feeling anything, saying, "That king seems to think that I am an easily swayed person, and therefore deliberately instigated me to replace you."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing such explosive news, Tokiomi was not greatly alarmed.

Honestly, this is Gilgamesh's reaction since he discovered he was using Command Spells.

He had a vague feeling that this follower would most likely kill his master.

Judging from the current situation, he did indeed have this idea.

However, it seems that this ancient king is still too inexperienced.

Why would they choose their most loyal disciple to do something like this?

Just thinking about it made Tokiomi laugh.

"So what do you think, Kirei?"

"I don't know what to do."

Kirei Kotomine answered in a pretentious manner.

However, in reality, at this very moment he already had a dagger in his hand, waiting for the right opportunity.

As soon as Tokiomi turns his back, he will launch a swift and agile attack...

Send this magician to his death.

"hehe."

At this moment, unaware that his disciple had become a completely different person, he was still immersed in his dream of victory.

He believed that his disciples would never betray him.

After all, if they were going to betray me, why would they expose such important information to me?

It's clear that he's still on my side.

Tokiomi thought this way.

"Alright, that's settled then, Kirei... you can go now."

Tokiomi, who had not doubted Kirei Kotomine in the slightest, turned his back on her.

At this moment, all he could think about was how to resolve Gilgamesh's betrayal.

After all, a Servant with two minds is like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

If I don't take any precautions, I might be attacked by him!

"cough!"

Just as Tokiomi was pondering how to deal with Gilgamesh, Kirei Kotomine made his move.

Almost instantly, he felt a heaviness in his abdomen, followed by a gradual loss of consciousness...

Finally, as blood continued to gush out, Tokiomi collapsed to the ground, never to rise again...

"Hehe...hehehe..."

The person who killed him was his most trusted disciple.

Kirei Kotomine...

At this moment, looking at his hands stained with blood, he was almost filled with joy.

This feeling was so amazing that it made him feel incredibly high, like he was on some kind of high.

Even though the person lying on the ground was my teacher, so what?

As long as I can see the future when the Holy Grail comes true, that's enough for me!

"Hahahaha! Not bad, Qili."

As Tokiomi fell, Gilgamesh, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, slowly appeared.

To be honest, Kirei Kotomine's ability to achieve this level was beyond his expectations.

Fortunately, this guy eventually died.

Is there anything more satisfying than this?

Compared to the rigid Tokiomi, Gilgamesh preferred someone who suited his taste to be his Master.

After all, what right does someone who comes to restrain him every now and then have to follow the king?

Are you satisfied?

Gilgamesh asked with a cold laugh.

"Not yet, we want more, hehe..."

Kirei Kotomine wiped the blood from his hands, his eyes filled with pleasure.

The two then burst into cheerful laughter.

A new pair of partners has been formed.

Gilgamesh, who valued ritual and taste, took out fine wine from his treasury:

“Drink, Kirei. As long as you follow me, you will definitely experience a kind of joy that you could never have experienced before.”

"Oh? Really? That's wonderful!"

However, just as Kirei Kotomine took the wine glass...

Both sides simultaneously noticed that two uninvited guests were rapidly approaching.

"The adjudicator and her? Why are they here?"

Faced with Kirei Kotomine's mutterings, Gilgamesh crossed his arms and shook his head, unsure why.

"Saber! You're speeding!"

Kiana, sitting on the back of the motorcycle, shouted loudly.

Hearing her shout, Saber, focused on driving, replied without turning her head:

"Don't worry, I have riding skills."

"That's not the problem, the problem is you were speeding!"

Kiana retorted mercilessly.

Honestly, she couldn't believe that this rigid-minded knight king was actually a racer.

Looking at those sports cars that were left far behind.

Kiana was a little worried. What if there was an obstacle in front of them? Wouldn't they have a car accident on the spot?

Fortunately, the journey from the dilapidated warehouse to Kirei Kotomine's residence wasn't too far.

So after Saber's swift journey, the two quickly arrived at the Tohsaka family's mansion.

At that very moment, someone they never expected was waiting at the villa's entrance.

"Kirei Kotomine? Did you sense our coming?"

Looking at the man in front of her, Kiana was the first to ask a question.

She couldn't understand why this man had come here as if he had a premonition.

But what she couldn't understand even more was why another item had been added to Kirei Kotomine's profile at this moment.

"Gilgamesh's Master? Is something wrong?"

Kiana still remembered the first time everyone appeared, before Gilgamesh's Master had even appeared yet.

What does it matter now? Kirei Kotomine has become the Master of two Servants.

What happened to Gilgamesh's original Master? Has he disappeared?

Kiana was left with many questions and confusion.

However, at this moment, the problem is not important, after all, she is here to fulfill her promise.

"Kirei Kotomine, it's good that you're here. Shall we set off now?"

"Hehe, although I really want to keep the appointment, but..."

After a moment's hesitation, Kirei Kotomine politely declined Kiana's request.

His reasons are quite intriguing.

"I've found a better way to pass the time."

"what?"
