[FZ] Bewitched

Kotomine Kirei's idle state didn't last long after he returned to the Holy Church from Einsbern's house.

Archer made another troublesome move - this free-moving servant went to Einzbern Castle to meet with two other heroic spirits who were also kings during their lifetime.After learning about this, Tohsaka Tokiomi immediately issued an order to Kirei.

"Order Assassin to kill the Rider faction. The primary target is the master of this group. Assassins who are monitoring other factions outside should also be recalled."

Kotomine Kirei had no objection to the mentor's decision.He still has no interest in the Holy Grail War, even after learning that Rider used a treasure such as the "King's Army" to destroy Assassin, there was no disturbance in his heart.His role as an assistant mentor has not changed, but has changed from relying on followers for espionage to unleashing force against other Masters.

But this restless night was not over for Kotomine Kirei.After the battle, Archer appeared in his den as usual. "Kirei, how is the matter I told you going?"

Previously Archer had ordered himself to investigate the motives of the other magicians' participation in the war.Out of the consideration of "pleasing the mentor's followers is also helping the mentor", he carefully collected information.At this moment, apart from the mysterious reason why Emiya Kiritsugu joined the war with the goal of replacing Emiya Kiritsugu with the goal of the Einzbern family, Kotomine Kirei revealed everything he knew.

"...Other masters are like this. As for Berserker's master, he doesn't desire the Holy Grail. It seems that he joined the war because of some kind of deal with the former head of the Matou family. Although I can't understand it, he seems to be protecting the second daughter of the mentor. , that 'daughter' who has no blood relationship with him. In addition, there seems to be a bad relationship between him and Shichenshi. The mentor didn't target him, but he seemed to have death intentions for the mentor."

"Hmph, they are all miscellaneous cultivators spying on this king's treasure." After hearing Kirei's words, the King of Heroes responded arrogantly without any surprise, "But Kirei, you have gained a lot."

"I don't think it's a gain in exchange for your evaluation after working for a few days." Kotomine Kirei felt unhappy for the other party's teasing.

"Aren't you aware of anything? Sure enough, you really are a guy who doesn't understand your own nature." The King of Heroes laughed twice, "Even if you simply follow my orders, your personal emotions and preferences It has been revealed in words and deeds. Unconsciously, the most detailed part of your description is what interests you."

Kotomine Kirei frowned.He finally realized that Archer seemed to be teasing himself out of boredom, but he was actually doing something even more terrifying.

The other party wants to use this to see through his heart.

"The master of Berserker...is called Kariya, right?" The King of Heroes shook his glass lightly and said with a smile, "For this person, you reported it very carefully."

"Because there is a threat to Tokiomi-sensei, the investigation has been done in detail. Moreover, the other party's servants have not appeared so far, and they may have tricky abilities." Kotomine Kirei explained calmly, trying to prevent the other party from asking go down.

"A servant of this level is just a rabid dog in the mud." Archer said bluntly, "Don't deny it, isn't it the result of you taking extra care of the other party that you can get so many details? It has nothing to do with fighting, it's purely Out of your personal interest."

Kotomine Kirei poured himself a glass of wine in silence, in order to conceal the wavering in his heart. "My judgment was wrong. I thought his hostility towards Tokiomi-sensei was worthy of attention, so I reported it to you in detail." After sipping the wine, Kirei made a concession to the arrogant king in front of him in a humble gesture.

Archer pressed further: "So, if this person finally gets the Holy Grail, does it make sense to you?"

Lowering his head to avoid the other party's burning gaze, Kotomine Kirei fell into deep thought.

Matou Kariya seems to be vulnerable, but in reality he has hidden his clumsiness till now.

If it is that person, it is not impossible to survive to the end.So, what will happen?

Although the specific reason is unknown, Matou Kariya joined the war out of love for his daughter, and he probably hoped that his daughter would be happy; however, Matou Kariya will definitely be caught in a dilemma, because the one who has a deep hatred is the girl's. biological father.

Once the situation develops like this, then, on that face with a firm fighting spirit, there must be confusion and depression; even if he wins, Matou Kariya, who has fallen into self-loathing, can really hold the Holy Grail with blood-stained hands .

After practicing magic for ten years, his body is getting weaker and weaker, and he is enduring pain that other people cannot understand, but in the end he pushes himself into a desperate situation. It must be a painful situation that is beyond cure.

If it continues like this, it is better for the other party to die now, at least he can be redeemed.

But for some reason, I seem to expect the other party to live to the last moment.

……Do not!

this is not right!

"It's meaningless." Kotomine Kirei, who woke up from his thoughts, replied quickly, "I joined the battle only to ensure that Sensei wins."

The King of Heroes, who had already noticed clues from Kirei's silence, did not expose his lies, but only let out a mocking laugh.

This laughter made Kirei uneasy, and it also made him annoyed that his secret thoughts were being punctured.He even intends to argue with the other party.However, the sudden pain on the back of his hand made him fall into even greater shock.

The fiery red Command Seal appeared on the back of his hand again.

Having lost his Servant, he was once again chosen by the Holy Grail.
