Matou Shinji Returns from Infinite

Paused.

Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to see the other's disappointed expression.

"I have gone into the battlefield countless times, but no matter what I do, I can't change the outcome of someone's sacrifice. Then - if someone has to sacrifice, then sacrifice the few to save the majority. I came to this answer, but in the end , has strayed from the original intention.”

"Just when I was desperate, the people of Einzbern came to me. I married my current wife and gave birth to a daughter. At that moment, I felt that my life was complete, but there was a chance for me In front of you, yes, the Holy Grail."

"I want to place my wish on the Holy Grail, very simple."

"—Realize the relief of all mankind. Let this world no longer have wars, no one will be sacrificed, and no longer have to face the multiple-choice question of sacrificing a few to save the many. I hope everyone can reap happiness. ."

He spoke in a calm tone.

It seems that he is not telling others, but alerting himself.

"..."

Kotomine Kirei lost the ability to speak.

Are you shocked by this beautiful and vast ideal?

No.

He was surprisingly angry.

"The development of mankind is inseparable from the struggle, you know? What you are doing is actually destroying the future of mankind."

"I know."

Emiya Kiritsugu's calm response made Kotomine Kirei's anger vanish.

"..."

"There cannot be only beauty in this world. In that world, I am clearly aware of this. There is only a happy world, only a happy world, a castle in the sky, a hell in the guise of heaven. Unfortunately, there is such a world now. Servant, intend to make this world that way."

As he spoke, he showed a weak, wry smile.

"I really want to stop her, but... honestly I don't have that ability anymore. It's not a human being, and it's not something that a Servant can fight, the Holy Grail is destined to fall into her hands. It doesn't matter what my wishes are. If you sacrifice everything, in the end, not only will your wish not be fulfilled, but the wish itself is wrong..."

"Not being able to find the answer is actually not necessarily a bad thing. To be honest, I envy you now, Kotomine Kirei."

"..."

Hearing this, Kotomine Kirei's mouth twitched.

Is that a smile?

"No, I... found the answer."

Ahhh.

Why did you notice it now.

I have been worrying about not being a normal person, and I want to have the key to break this chain.

But this key.

It's always been on him.

What is human nature?

is desire.

is impulse.

is thinking.

is trouble.

And these were obtained because of Emiya Kiritsugu's appearance.

But he has never discovered the essence of the high-spirited feeling in his chest.

Now Kotomine Kirei understood.

That is pleasure.

Especially when Emiya Kiritsugu was saved by himself as an enemy, Kotomine Kirei felt even more satisfied.

Really want to see that face, what color it will be after knowing this.

It's a pity that I probably didn't get a chance to see it.

but--

"You're wrong, Emiya Kiritsugu. It's not like no one can stop her..."

Seeing Emiya Kiritsugu's stunned expression, Kotomine Kirei closed his eyes in satisfaction and uttered his last words.

"—The script of this war has already been written."

chapter 52.

It was a building made of steel and cement.

Although the project is halfway through, the outer layer has not yet been packaged, and it looks like a huge skeleton standing in the snowy night.

When fully completed, this building will replace the Excelle Hotel as the new facade of Fuyuki City.

Only the highest layer of a framework - 38 floors - was built.

Without any protective measures, a figure stood on the edge of the gray floor, which could at best block the rain.

The cold wind in the night sky was fierce, and the loose yellow robe rustled.

The dark blue messy hair is also dancing with it.

"...Huh, you have some skills, that priest."

Shinji opened his tightly closed eyes and looked at the hotel building just across the road with interest.

Although self-worth has been proven among the many results, what is happening now is not among all the observed possibilities.

In other words, Kotomine Kirei brought him a 'surprise'.

"This time Kama's secret hand fails, and the hotel won't blow up... Well, not necessarily, if the willful deity finds that his secret hand is not activated, he may become angry and let Saber liberate the Noble Phantasm, but in this way, she The chances of trying to capture the Kenneth Command Spell are even lower."

One step ahead of others is a genius, two steps ahead of others is a lunatic.

So who is the person who has reached the end in one go?

The answer is, Matou Shinji.

Many people will always talk about 'if', but to him, this word has no meaning other than a word.

He has seen the end.

Can't say 'all endings'.

But he has the ability to push it and create the ending he wants.

"There are only two Command Seals taken from Emiya Kiritsugu, and Saber is restricted from using one, leaving only the last one. Even with Ruler's authority, there are no additional Command Seals for her to squander, but the hidden layout Her hands were disabled, and she was held back by Kenneth, and with her lack of motivation and just wanting to get things done early, there is a 90.00% chance that she will adopt the most direct and brutal method."

If the Assassin girl who was trapped in the workshop heard this, she would definitely open her eyes in horror.

He actually knew his own information without any contact.

It's not just her.

There is no secret to Shinji about this war.

"However, do you really want to use it?"

A schadenfreude smile appeared on his lips.

Honestly, Shinji was looking forward to it.

Assassin - Kama, a god from India's Tianbu, also serves as half a judge, but her approach is definitely not a qualified Ruler.

By the privilege to absorb the pollutants inside the Great Holy Grail to make up for the difference in strength.

He also played other Master's Command Spells and Servants' ideas.

The reason why Shinji wanted to attack Kotomine Rizheng was because he didn't want to let those unmaintained Command Spells fall into the hands of others.

It's okay to leave it to Kotomine Kirei, at most it can be used to supplement Berserker's mana consumption.

If it falls into the hands of Kama, the trouble will be big.

Either him or Scotty.

In the case of a Servant, the rules of the Great Holy Grail system still have to be followed to a certain extent, that is to say, the Command Spell can also work on them.

Although the effect is limited, if you stack multiple Command Spells on one command at the same time.

Even A-rank anti-magic skills can't handle it.

To be honest, the current situation is neither favorable nor unfavorable for Kama.

It was not difficult for her to kill Kenneth.

The difficulty is how to capture Kenneth's Command Spell.

This is one of her two reasons for coming here.

Needless to say, the other one was, of course, aimed at Karna.

Saber Alter's strength has improved a lot after receiving the grace of the goddess, but he still lacks a vital power from the peak of the heroic spirit.

If Karna can also be brought under his command, no matter what enemy he faces next, he will not be afraid even if he is united by the remaining servants. Kama obviously thinks so.

and so.

She really didn't want to kill Kenneth.

In other words, Kenneth couldn't die until he won the Command Spell.

If the Master dies, the Command Spell will also disappear.

With just one Command Spell in his hand... No, if you count the restless little girl hiding in the dark, that's four Command Spells.

A one-time command with four Command Spells is sufficient.

But then what?

Like Saber's situation, contaminate it with the magic power of the Great Holy Grail?
