Chapter 55: Why do you like to eat Mapo Tofu?

But in fact, what Emiya Shirou said was not wrong, he was just being responsible for himself.

Shirou Emiya has already told Rin Toosaka how Zouken Matou degenerated from a magus with noble goals and a righteous ally into an undead monster.

With the lessons learned from the past, Shirou Emiya certainly doesn't want to become like that.

He knew how powerful he was now. If others were lost or took a wrong path, he could still help them.

But if he lost himself and went astray, no one would be able to pull him back. It was hard to find someone who wanted to be a partner in justice like him and was a meddler.

Maybe the old man would help him at that time, but the more likely thing is that he would chop off his head.

So Kotomine Kirei can die, can be killed, but it cannot be his doing.

Only when he lets go of the hatred in his heart will he be able to kill Kotomine Kirei.

In fact, it's not just about Matou Zouken. Emiya Kiritsugu learned about his upcoming fate from Hinata Hajime. The three lines and five endings of Fate alone are enough for him to bear, not to mention the Black A branch line.

Neither Red Archer nor Black Archer was who he wanted to be.

Even Rin, who didn't know about these plot lines, could empathize with Shirou Emiya, not to mention himself who knew the ending.

And as long as he didn't take action, even if Kotomine Kirei died in front of him, he wouldn't say or do anything more.

"That's really a pity. Are you going to kill me, Rin?" Although he said so, Kotomine Kirei, who stood up and left, didn't seem to want to be killed by Toosaka Rin.

"I can't do anything to you now." Toosaka Rin said to Kotomine Kirei with great disgust. For the same reason as Emiya Shirou, Toosaka Rin now also felt that she should not kill Kotomine Kirei.

This is Toosaka Rin's own choice, and Emiya Shirou won't care.

But if they really fight and Toosaka Rin is in a weak position, he will help, but that's limited to helping.

"A self-restrained hero? I didn't expect to see one again after such a long time." Hero King Gilgamesh poured a glass of red wine into another cup, "Little boy, I recognize your generosity for the time being. Drink this glass of wine to show your respect to the king."

In the Celtic mythology where the current Lancer Cu Chulainn is located, there are examples of self-restraint and self-imposed restrictions in exchange for power. For example, Cu Chulainn himself had many taboos, and during his lifetime, he was killed because his taboos were broken by a trick.

For those heroes, self-restraint is both a source of strength and a shackle. But for Shirou Emiya, the opposite is true.

"Well, thank you, King of Heroes." Emiya Shirou felt that Gilgamesh was a little too enthusiastic towards him, but he did not offend the King of Heroes. It was best to solve the problem through communication. He picked up the glass of wine and tasted it slowly.

"This is Kirei's treasure. How does it taste?" Gilgamesh looked at Emiya Shirou as if he was looking at something with interest.

"I don't know. The law here states that you are not allowed to drink before you are 20 years old."

"Since you are here with me, you must follow my rules."

"So, I drank it, but I hadn't had any other alcohol before."

"Interesting. Very interesting."

"So, what is your purpose in coming to the church this time?" After Kotomine Kirei was not killed, he returned to his previous cold attitude. He actually didn't care who won the Holy Grail War and obtained the Holy Grail.

Anyway, no matter who wins in the end, he will get what he wants.

During the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family summoned Angra Mainyu, an Avenger outside of the seven major classes, who bore the evil of the world.

Angra Mainyu, the heroic spirit who bears all of humanity's evil, is so weak that even Assassin, who has the weakest frontal combat ability, can kill him easily.

But killing him is not the end, but the beginning.

All the evil carried by Angra Mainyu, who was killed and sucked into the Holy Grail, polluted the Holy Grail and distorted the way the Holy Grail granted wishes.

All Kotomine Kirei has to do is to keep the Holy Grail War going and summon the evil of this world from the Holy Grail.

He believed that by doing this, he would be able to find the happiness that he had not experienced for a long time.

"What you want to do is to summon Angra Mainyu, right?" Emiya Shirou did not intend to leave directly, which surprised Kotomine Kirei. "I mean, all the evil in this world. Give it up. The Holy Grail War will not continue."

"What do you mean, are you going to stop me?" asked Kotomine Kirei.

"Before you ask me whether I should stop you, think about why you want to summon the evil of this world."

"Pleasure." Kotomine Kirei said without thinking, "Doing that will make me feel happy."

"Will you really feel good if you do that?" Emiya Shirou asked back, "Why do you need to feel good?"

Kotomine Kirei frowned and began to think about this matter. All this time of preparation had forced him to take the action of summoning the Holy Grail, but now he thought carefully, would doing so really make him happy?

The consequence of summoning all the evil in this world is to destroy the entire world, but will it really feel pleasant to watch those who have nothing to do with you die in front of you?

It seems not.

It's not because he has a kind character. On the contrary, his nature is the worst of the worst, the worst of the bad. So, it's unacceptable.

Because he has absolutely no feelings for other people and has never met them, he wouldn't find it fun even if he killed them.

Not...feeling happy...

But he didn't want to think like that, because he was afraid that everything he did would be in vain, and that he wouldn't get the feeling of "pleasure" in the end.

It seems like all the preparations over the past decade have gone to waste.

But he did not reply to Shirou Emiya, but immersed himself in his own world, thinking about his own things.

"Do you think that you have no interests at all, and even if you want to learn magic or acquire new knowledge, you can still work hard to achieve your goals?

“Do you think that you are born without emotions, unable to feel what others like, what they think is a beautiful object, unable to feel love, and are a complete monster, so you are always seeking inner satisfaction and pleasure?

"Then why do you, a monster without any interests or emotions, like to eat Mapo Tofu?"

Chapter 56: When you get older, you tend to be nostalgic.

Kotomine Kirei likes to eat Mapo Tofu. Only when he eats Mapo Tofu will he show a different side of himself.

Even in the original work, when he saw Shirou Emiya, he would invite him to eat together.

Yes, if I really don’t like anything, why would I like to eat Mapo Tofu?

Kotomine Kirei fell into deep thought.

"You feel like you have no interests and no pleasure, just because you have too little exposure to things."

"I've been exposed to too few things?" Kotomine Kirei was puzzled. He thought about his life and it seemed as if everything had been arranged since he was born and he had never done anything else.

“Because others always arrange for you to do something, you feel that you should do it, and you never think about doing something interesting that belongs to you.

"Because killing your master is not allowed morally or legally. Because of this sense of immorality, you try something you have never done before, and you feel pleasure.

"This world is a good one, there is no need to destroy it."

Emiya Shirou said.

But Kotomine Kirei didn't want to believe what Emiya Shirou said. Emiya Shirou's words made him look like a clown in the past ten years. "How can a half-baked guy like you who wants to be a partner of justice all day understand my feelings?"

He couldn't help wondering why he liked eating Mapo Tofu so much.

“This is not what I, a half-baked magician, said to you, but what a senior whom I admire very much said.

“Even I now, even those heroes cannot praise the greatness of that predecessor.

“Although that senior often gets mad and says nonsense, I think he sees things very clearly.

"Why do you like eating mapo tofu so much?"

"Maybe it's spicy..." Kotomine Kirei said hesitantly.

"Is it just spicy? If it is spicy, there are actually many dishes that are very spicy. Mapo tofu is Chinese cuisine. Do you know how many spicy dishes there are?

"Grilled fish, spicy chicken, boiled pork slices, boiled fish, mouth-watering chicken, spicy crayfish..." Shirou Emiya listed the cuisine from that mysterious Western country like the back of his hand.

"Does it still taste good?" Kotomine Kirei hesitated again.

“If it’s about the texture, you don’t need mapo tofu, regular tofu or fish will do.

"If you want to eat tofu, there are many ways to prepare it, such as braised dried tofu, tofu pudding, fermented tofu, and hairy tofu."

As it happens, when it comes to food, Emiya Shirou is quite insightful.

"Do you like excitement?" Kotomine Kirei was really confused.

“If you want something exciting, you can go bungee jumping, extreme sports, downhill running, extreme rafting, or flying over a river.

"When I wanted to kill you just now, you were also happy, right?

"You are not a bad person by nature. It's just that you have been suppressed for too long. You accept the guidance of others and do your own things step by step. You just want to find some excitement.

"But if you just want to have fun, there is no need to do bad things. Just like if you have the ability to steal, you don't have to be a thief. Instead, you can be a policeman to catch thieves.

"Just like power, it depends on how you use it. Doctors use knives to save people, while criminals use knives to kill people.

“Your character, your nature, is your own strength.

"You are not the special one, you are an outlier. There are so many people in the world, and they all have different personalities. Everyone is unique."

Gilgamesh next to him listened quietly to what Shirou Emiya said. In fact, he also agreed with what Shirou Emiya said. He had instigated Kotomine Kirei to kill Tōsaka Tokiomi just because he thought it was fun, and Tōsaka Tokiomi did something that made him very angry.

"I..." Kotomine Kirei fell into deep thought. He seemed to have always been living in the words of others. Even the pleasure he felt in killing his own master was according to Gilgamesh's arrangement.

"Wouldn't you like to express your opinion, King of Heroes?" At this time, Emiya Shirou was ready to drag the King of Heroes into it.

No matter what, this Hero King is not fit to continue to exist in this world.

Ten years ago, the Hero King Gilgamesh was contaminated by the black mud of the Holy Grail in the Fourth Holy Grail War and lived in the flesh for ten years, but these ten years were not peaceful. Perhaps because of the black mud of the Holy Grail, in order to preserve the magic of the Hero King, orphans from the orphanage sponsored by the Fuyuki Church were constantly taken as sacrifices in the past ten years to preserve Gilgamesh's magic.

The other servants don't matter, the oldest king Gilgamesh is the enemy he must face.

"Rather than expressing an opinion, I'm more curious about which senior told you those words. You didn't know about what happened last time, right?" Gilgamesh chuckled. "Could it be the retainer of the King of Conquerors?"

In the last Holy Grail War, the King of Conquerors Iskandar proved his magnanimity to Gilgamesh and was regarded by Gilgamesh as a person worthy of being king, so the King of Conquerors' Master Waver Velvet was spared. It is said that the coward returned to the Clock Tower and inherited his teacher's name.

Could it be that the young boy from ten years ago has interfered in this Holy Grail War again?

As you get older, you tend to become nostalgic.

This is an inference based on the existing information. Even the King of Heroes could not have expected that Shirou Emiya would suddenly be pulled into the dimensional chat group, right?

"It's not him. It's a higher being. As I said before, he's a senior that even Heroic Spirits need to look up to."

"Then I'm curious about which one it is. Is it the gods in the sky?"

Shirou Emiya didn't want to say it, as he felt it would be troublesome if Gilgamesh knew about it. He decided to tell him only when they really met.

"Emiya Shirou." Kotomine Kirei came back from his trance, but was still deeply confused. "What should I do?"

"It's up to you to decide what to do." Emiya Shirou said, "Let me put it this way, if I ran into you eating mapo tofu on the street, what would you do?"

"I invite you to eat with me."

"That's it," Emiya Shirou replied, "That's your true desire that you should follow."

"My real desire is to share my interests with others. To seek recognition..."

“If you want to share your interests with others, you can’t do that without understanding them yourself.”

“I want to try more spicy dishes, want to know how this dish is made, want to share my ideas with others…”

"This thought, this desire, is the love you have been seeking." Emiya Shirou stood in the sun, looking down at Kotomine Kirei who was lying on the ground in front of him.

Kotomine Kirei raised his head in confusion and looked at Emiya Shirou who was bathed in the sunlight.

Chapter 57: Black Watch

"What are your plans when we get out?" Claire said to Leon while sorting out her weapons.

Xu Lun on the other side saw Claire A and felt a little dissatisfied, but in the end she packed her luggage silently.

Perhaps it was the Peninsular blood in her body that played a role. Although Xu Lun liked Lyon and was usually carefree in other aspects, she just couldn't compete with Lyon now.

"Didn't I tell you what I was going to say?"

After a period of discussion, Lyon and his team decided to establish an anti-biological organization called Blackwatch.

The Lord told Leon this name when he asked for a name in the group, and Leon thought it was a good name.

Black Watch.
