People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

but……

Even if they discovered it, what would it matter? Some things couldn't be corrected simply by discovering them. Even if they were powerful, it would be difficult to provide correct guidance.

Mei Lian is inhuman. He sees the continued existence of demonic nature in humans as perfectly normal, so why would he need to guide them? Perhaps he's also deeply yearning for a unique being like Kotomine Kirei. What will the future hold for him?

And Xiel's heart is also covered by anger and rage. She herself cannot get out of her own heart, so how can she give Kotomine Kirei the right guidance?

Therefore, regarding the problems that arose with Kotomine Kirei, they all chose to wait and see. Even though they vaguely sensed that he might be a demon that had not yet awakened, they did not act rashly.

Xiel could only pray for him silently.

But Mei Lian was not worried about this matter.

Because in that mysterious and barren Far East, there is no one who can discover and guide this demonic nature...

Perhaps the fate that awaits Kotomine Kirei is just to live an ordinary life as the priest he plays?

Perhaps, he will remain confused until his death?

In that case, it might not be so bad for him.

After all, this is the right way to live, so neither of them interfered too much.

Things developed just as the two had expected. Kotomine Kirei was indeed still living a confused and correct life, and this continued for a very long time. If there were no external interference, he would surely be able to live a peaceful life.

Unfortunately, by chance, he was involved in a magic ritual called the Holy Grail War, and there he met someone who could discover the devil in his heart, guide it and amplify it.

At this moment, the evil nature has completely blossomed and is constantly overflowing from the skin.

The longer the suppression lasts, the more terrifying the counterattack will be.

The more you suppress it, the more ferocious it will become when you release it; the more you desire it, the sweeter it will feel when you get it.

At this moment, after Kotomine Kirei's empty heart was filled with the fragment called joy, he was completely immersed in this joy.

"This is joy, what a wonderful emotion..."

So much so that even his face, which had always been calm, began to unconsciously show a strange smile.

"Now, I am completely happy."

He has completely understood.

……

"Huh, he's dead after all."

Sitting alone in the park, Gilgamesh couldn't help but sneer after feeling that his contract with Tōsaka Tokiomi was suddenly interrupted.

He also didn't expect that the chess piece he placed on a whim would play its role so quickly, which surprised Gilgamesh.

It seems that the evil nature accumulated in the heart of the young man who claims to have nothing to ask for is far greater and more interesting than he imagined.

'It seems he has unleashed a formidable monster.'

The corners of his mouth curved into an arc.

However, it was better that Tōsaka Tokiomi was dead, as he no longer had to worry about someone plotting against him. It was just that he had originally planned to execute the clown himself as the beginning of the bloody battle, but now Kotomine Kirei got there first.

"Master and disciple killing each other... What an interesting scene. It's a pity that we didn't see Tōsaka Tokiomi's expression before his death? I guess it must have been extremely desperate and sweet..."

Gilgamesh murmured silently.

At this moment, in the hazy night, the young man with some blood on his body was slowly walking towards him.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Gilgamesh glanced sideways and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Are you here, Kirei?"

Gilgamesh was not surprised by the appearance of this young man, nor did he show any great emotion, as if he was talking about a commonplace matter. Then he spoke coldly,

"I never thought you could kill Tokiomi so easily. Looks like that idiot is even more useless than I thought."

"Or rather, he seems to really trust you, Kirei."

When Gilgamesh mentioned that disgusting guy, Tōsaka Tokiomi, his tone was filled with endless sarcasm. To him, Tōsaka Tokiomi's death was undoubtedly just a trivial matter.

He is just a magician. There are so many people who can replace him. He doesn't care about them at all.

"There's nothing we can do. Sensei is just a magus who studies theory. He hasn't experienced a true life-or-death struggle. Without a Servant to protect him, even the weakest Assassin clone would have a chance of killing him."

"In my opinion, compared to others, you are the magus least suitable to participate in this Holy Grail War."

Kotomine Kirei smiled calmly and answered Gilgamesh's question as if nothing had happened.

Obviously, at this moment, he had completely come out of the panic of killing Tōsaka Tokiomi. On his face was a smile that belonged to his heart, a smile that was purely devilish.

"Oh? You've learned to tease so quickly? And you're even teasing the very teacher you just killed, Kirei... You're really improving at a rapid pace."

Gilgamesh clapped his hands slightly, seeming to be extremely pleased with this.

"Then, since you came to see me, you must have made up your mind, right?"

Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Kotomine Kirei in front of him and asked.

"Of course, after killing the teacher, the next step is naturally to sign the contract. The banquet has just ended, and I'm sure the other magi are eager to do so. Now sign a new contract, and then prepare to defeat all enemies. Then, Archer, you will personally kill the remaining Lancer, Saber, Rider, Caster, and Berserker."

"I will truly destroy the entire Holy Grail War single-handedly!!"

Kotomine Kirei opened his arms and looked at Gilgamesh in front of him.

"Fight the entire Holy Grail War single-handedly?"

"Haha ...~!! Not bad, not bad, really not bad. Kirei, you really didn't disappoint me. To me, you're more interesting than that useless good-for-nothing Tōsaka Tokiomi. So good! Let me personally assist you. It just so happens that during this Holy Grail War, I also felt indescribable joy."

Gilgamesh covered his face and laughed out loud. He was undoubtedly extremely satisfied with the result at this moment.

Moreover, in this Holy Grail War, not only were there interesting opponents, but even treasures that he had never owned and had set his eyes on also appeared at the same time. Such a grand occasion had already made him want to take the initiative to attack.

This Holy Grail War was indeed much more interesting than he had expected.

"Then let's get started."

"Your body obeys, and your name is bound to my contract. If you follow the principles of the Holy Grail, then answer me, Gilgamesh."

Both sides agreed, and then Kotomine Kirei stretched out his palm, revealing the two Command Seals that he had just peeled off from Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"Likewise, I swear that your destiny will be transformed into my blood. Kotomine Kirei, you will now be my new Master. Be grateful to me as much as you can."

At this moment, Gilgamesh did not hesitate at all. He stretched out his palm and directly collided with Kotomine Kirei's Command Seal.

——Swish!!

Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed, and then powerful magic power emanated between the two of them. Gilgamesh completed the contract with Kotomine Kirei.

"Very good, those boring clowns have finally left the stage. Now it's my turn. From now on, I will unleash all my might and eliminate all those miscellaneous cultivators who covet the Holy Grail! Kotomine Kirei, just watch."

"As a reward for your actions, once the deed is accomplished, I, the King, will mercifully grant you the Holy Grail."

Feeling that the new contract was signed, Gilgamesh suddenly felt the magic power in his body become extremely full. He opened his arms, hugged the sky above his head, and then laughed wildly towards the sky.

"No objection, King of Heroes. Go ahead and make a scene. Let me feel more joy and continue to fill the gap. To do so, I am willing to transform into a clown to make you laugh."

The fallen priest smiled,

The king of joy mocks,

The connection between the two was infinitely closer at this moment.

At this point, no one would care about Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was lying in a pool of blood. He was probably completely burned by the flames of betrayal and died with his eyes open.

The war has begun.

……

On the other side, in the Tohsaka residence, which was about to collapse in flames.

Two figures seemed to be carrying something and hurriedly rushed out from the blazing sea of fire.

The dark Berserker was running non-stop on the street carrying Tōsaka Tokiomi. Matou Kariya behind him sensed his dying breath and kept slapping his mouth, trying to sober up Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was bleeding too much and on the verge of death.

——Snap, snap, snap!!

The crisp sound continued to ring out under the night sky, and more than a dozen slaps were made in a row, so that even Matou Kariya's palms felt a little painful.

However, this also managed to bring some of Tōsaka Tokiomi's breath back from shock. Perhaps it was a last gasp of energy, but when Tōsaka Tokiomi barely opened his eyes and saw Matou Kariya appear before him, he thought it was an illusion...

“It really is you… Kariya. I never thought I’d see you before I die…”

But even though he thought it was just an illusion, at the end of his life, Tōsaka Tokiomi still used his last bit of strength to tightly hold Matou Kariya's hand, and then said the last words in his heart with a trembling voice.

"Be careful... Kirei... help me, take care of... Gu, Aoi, Rin..."

As his final words flowed out, the last bit of strength remaining in his body transformed into a pool of blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth. Tōsaka Tokiomi, barely holding onto a last breath, suddenly lost his breath again. Frightened, Matou Kariya hurriedly slapped him again, hoping his old trick would have some effect. However, Matou Kariya's slaps weren't Finn's life-giving water; they clearly couldn't force Tōsaka Tokiomi back from the brink of death. They were gradually losing their effectiveness.

"Damn it! Tōsaka Tokiomi, aren't you usually quite arrogant? Aren't you very stubborn? Hurry up and get up... What's the point of dying so easily like this?!"

"If you die, what will happen to Aoi and Rin? How will the orphans and widows live? Didn't you say you would make Aoi happy? What are you doing now?! You should take care of your wife and daughter yourself! I came back just to give you a good beating, but you just got away so easily! I won't tolerate this!"

Looking at the dying Tōsaka Tokiomi in front of him, Matou Kariya felt complicated at the moment.

He was clearly his enemy, and he had ruined his life, a bastard that he would never be able to forgive.

But at this moment, when he saw that he was about to die in front of him, Matou Kariya not only did not feel any joy, but instead felt endless melancholy and anger.

This damn bastard...

If I died like this, wouldn't I never be able to defeat him? How could I confront him face to face? How could I use the Personality Correction Fist to correct his distorted ideas?

Although he hated this guy and sometimes cursed him to death, the thought of Tōsaka Tokiomi dying and Sakura losing her father and Aoi losing her husband, both of whom would be heartbroken, made Matou Kariya feel completely unhappy.

He didn't join the Holy Grail War to see Tōsaka Tokiomi die, but to punish him personally and question him on Sakura's behalf...

If I just run away like this, what kind of words would that even mean?!

"Tohsaka Tokiomi, you bastard, you want to die so easily, but it won't be that easy!"

With rage burning in their hearts, Matou Kariya and Berserker were still running wildly on the street with the dying man, but at their current speed, it was obviously too late to send Tōsaka Tokiomi to the hospital for emergency treatment.

So, at the critical moment, Matou Kariya anxiously looked at the shops around him, trying to find a place that could help.

“Eh? Got it!!”

Finally, his hurried gaze suddenly stopped in front of the door of a pet hospital.

"Berserker! Let's go there!"

He shouted hurriedly to Lancelot.

“——Arrrrrrrrrr!!”

Lancelot, who received the order, rushed in like a cannonball, smashing through the glass.

……

On the other side, the Matou family.

Seeing that Matou Kariya's call could never get through, Matou Zouken couldn't help but feel confused.

"That brat didn't show up for the banquet we agreed on. Where did he go off to?!"

Not long ago, he received a notice from Luo Wei, and he learned that Matou Kariya did not bring Lancelot to the banquet, but instead ran away to an unknown place.

When he thought about how his useless offspring dared to openly disobey his orders at such a critical moment, the anger in Matou Zouken's heart burned again.

Just as he stretched out his arms, ready to release his familiar to go out and retrieve the waste.

Suddenly, when he saw the news on TV about the fire caused by the gas explosion, he couldn't help but pause and then stopped.

Matou Zouken looked at the news on TV with a strange expression on his face. His mind buzzed and he thought of an extremely outrageous possibility.

"That brat Kariya, could it be that he took advantage of the fact that no one was around and attacked the Tōsaka residence with his Berserker?!"

After thinking of this possibility, Matou Zouken's dry eyes suddenly widened.

Chapter 8 You Are Guilty (K words)

The Holy Grail War, what an interesting name. Its essence is not a so-called magical ritual at all. It is a war full of desires and disputes.
