Akutagawa's Life as a Savior

"Good morning, Kirei-kun."

Kotomine Kirei came out of the room, and when he was about to have breakfast, he heard the voice of a stranger saying hello.It was the uninvited guest from yesterday, standing in a dark corridor in black.

This person is full of energy. Yesterday he was dragged by the King of Heroes to learn about the different world until the early morning. This morning he could still hear the roar of knives practicing in the courtyard, and now he has come to find him again.

Kotomine Kirei has no hostility toward him. Although the King of Heroes does not need other people's strength, in his opinion, this visitor with extraordinary combat power is undoubtedly an excellent help, especially this person's skilled Fighting for the purpose of killing is an excellent weapon against the master.

But why did he call himself "Kirei-kun"?This person doesn't look like someone who calls them by their first names when they meet for the first time.Ah, by the way, this person doesn't know his surname yet, and he probably got his name from yesterday's title of King of Heroes.

"My name is Kotomine Kirei, this is the first time we meet, please give me your advice." Although Kirei is a foreigner, he is already very familiar with Japanese etiquette.And the person in front of him can be recognized as a typical Japanese just from his appearance.

The Japanese aesthetics of "mono-sorrow" are vividly reflected in him, delicate and sad, calm and concise, with a cold appearance and intense emotions, and he is undoubtedly a top-notch Japanese beauty.

His sword technique also perfectly embodies the ferocious personality of the Japanese. He takes killing himself as his consciousness, and kills everything without leaving any room.

By the way, what is this person's name?It seems to be a very familiar name.

"Ryunosuke Akutagawa, please give me your advice."

By the way, this is it, with the same name as a great writer in Japanese history.

"Akutagawa-kun came to see me so early for something?" Kotomine Kirei asked suspiciously.

"I would like to visit the library of this mansion and learn about the power of magic in this world. I hope Mr. Kotomine will agree." Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded and saluted him, and asked a thoughtful question.

Here we go again, the cumbersome etiquette details of the Japanese, it was only yesterday that Kotomine Kirei killed his mentor, Tohsaka Tokiomi, the owner of this mansion, and now this person still follows the etiquette The temporary owner of the mansion asks permission.

No, it's not a request, I'm afraid it's just a polite inquiry. It seems that no matter what the result is, this person will have to enter the library for a look. If he is rejected, the two of them may have to repeat yesterday's battle.

Various preconceptions flashed in Kotomine Kirei's mind, and he carefully and deeply explored the thoughts of the person in front of him, after all, was he the one who defeated him, or was he a sudden and unpredictable part of the Holy Grail War.

But he didn't intend to reject this person, it was unnecessary and useless.

Kotomine Kirei is a standard magician, not a magician. A magician is a devout believer in magic knowledge, but Kotomine Kirei is not.

He originally belonged to the church, and he still believes in the Lord devoutly.The knowledge of heresy, magic, was not precious knowledge to him.Moreover, this person is a person from another world, and he will return to another world in the future, so the scruples will be reduced even more.

"Akutagawa-kun, please go ahead, Tokiomi-sensei has a rich collection, I hope you can make good use of it." Kotomine Kirei replied in a low voice.

"Thank you Kotomine-kun." Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded to him to express his gratitude, and then asked him: "When will Kotomine-kun be free? I would like to know the details of this Holy Grail War, and I hope it will be useful. .”

Kotomine Kirei finally felt happy, and finally waited for a positive statement, and what I paid was not in vain.With the help of this person, it will definitely be possible to eliminate the interference of unnecessary people, and fight one-on-one with Emiya Kiritsugu without interruption, right?

"I have time at noon today, and we will talk in detail after lunch."

"Then don't bother Mr. Yanfeng, and go to the library to read books."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke turned around and left, with a straight attitude and a handsome back, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but think of what Gilgamesh called him, "a representative of a foreign land", this person will probably also exist like a heroic spirit in the future.

For a whole morning, Kotomine Kirei was busy tracking down Emiya Kiritsugu's news, understanding the trend of the Holy Grail War, and formulating new strategies to deal with the enemy. He was too busy.

With the loss of Assassin, he had to spend much more energy to replenish new sources of information.At this time, Tosaka Tokiomi's death did not need to be dealt with urgently. During the Holy Grail War, the Magic Association and the Church would tacitly not interfere with Fuyuki.

Thinking of Tosaka Tokiomi handing him the sword that symbolizes trust with his own hands, the blow from the back of the successful apprentice, and leaving a will for Kotomine Kirei to take care of the Tosaka family as the guardian of the heir, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but think of it. Want to laugh out loud, happy, it's so much fun!

What was Teacher Chen thinking at the last moment when he trusted himself from the bottom of his heart?He didn't realize it until the last moment. Is it so incomprehensible that he betrayed him?

Living in this house left by the deceased, the aura left by the original owner lingers everywhere, reminding himself that he killed the teacher he truly respected, which makes twisted people like Kotomine Kirei even more happy.

It was time for lunch, and the magician's mansion had its own conveniences. Kirei used the magic device left by Tohsaka Tokiomi to easily make lunch for two.The King of Heroes doesn't eat here.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke entered the restaurant silently, and joined in the meal process. In the low-key and luxurious restaurant, there were only two barely audible dining sounds.

After receiving the courtesy thanks after the meal, Kotomine Kirei began to introduce the situation of the Holy Grail War to Akutagawa.Akutagawa Ryunosuke obviously did his homework, he already understood the origin, origin, composition of the Holy Grail, and even the fact that all heroic spirits must be sacrificed to connect to the "root", which saved Kirei a lot of effort.

It’s just that Akutagawa Ryunosuke has another question, “When I read magic books, I found that the ‘root’ is particularly important, but his concept is too abstract and difficult for me to understand. Can I ask Yanfeng-kun to explain it? Does 'origin' matter?"

Kotomine Kirei was speechless. After all, he belonged to the school of magicians who used magic as a tool. His knowledge of this conceptual magic was limited to understanding, and he really didn't have the ability to explain it clearly.I had no choice but to force myself to say: "About this, you can ask the King of Heroes. As a heroic spirit, he should be much clearer than humans."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded in agreement without doubt, "Then do you have a way to contact the King of Heroes? I have many doubts and I would like to ask him to answer."

"Not yet. I haven't seen him since I concluded the contract with the King of Heroes early this morning. I will tell him the next time we meet." Kirei said regretfully, and reminded him by the way, "Be careful when asking for advice. In the king's mood, the hero king is not very patient."

Fearing that Akutagawa would not be able to answer any more questions, Kirei hurriedly began to introduce the magicians and heroic spirits who participated in this Holy Grail War.

Up to now, the Holy Grail War has eliminated three groups, and Assassin, Lancer, and Caster have all returned to the Seat of Heroes, but Kirei still introduced the conditions of the contestants and what happened in the Holy Grail War in detail.

How much of this is greedily devouring the despair in the war, and how much is for Akutagawa to understand the situation better, Kirei himself does not know.And Kariya Matou, whom he paid extra attention to, is still producing sweet despair in a steady stream.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pondered for a while, and asked: "That is to say, the people chosen by the Holy Grail are all people with magical abilities who have deep desires in their hearts, and the summoned heroic spirits are also heroic spirits who need the Holy Grail. No, both the King of Heroes and that Lancer have no desire for the Holy Grail, emm, it seems that the rank of Heroes is indeed very high."

"I'm very curious about how the Holy Grail can fulfill the wishes of the wisher. If possible, please let me watch when you win." Akutagawa looked up at Kirei, earnestly requesting.

Kotomine Kirei thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, Akutagawa Ryunosuke is not a magician, there is no possibility of being selected by the Holy Grail, and it is also very good to have such a help in the final battle, after all, the King of Heroes needs to fight other heroic spirits in the final battle It is possible to indulge in play and ignore him.

Although Akutagawa Ryunosuke was still expressionless after getting the consent, it could be seen that he was a little excited. He should be young, and he seemed to be a very pure person.

Kotomine Kirei was thinking about the age of the agent, when Akutagawa said solemnly: "But with all due respect, Kotomine-kun has little hope of winning. Although you have the strongest heroic spirit like Archer, war is not only It is not only a competition of ability, wisdom and luck, but also a confrontation of faith and will."

"The one who wins in the end is not necessarily the one who sacrificed the most, but it must be the one with the most awareness. Do you have the obsession to obtain the Holy Grail? Do you have the spirit to sacrifice everything else? The King of Heroes is invincible, but You are not, you have the possibility of being defeated."

After pouring cold water, Akutagawa Ryunosuke changed his voice, "So you need me, I can help you kill all the surviving masters, especially Emiya Kiritsugu, he will be your worst enemy."

"No," Kotomine Kirei refused without thinking, "Emiya Kiritsugu is mine, I'm going to see that man, only he can solve my doubts."

"Well, since this is the case, I won't say much." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's tone inevitably carried a trace of regret. He was going to use this to offset favors, but now it seems that he needs to take it more seriously. .

"Do you have a video of the Heroic Spirits fighting here? It's really useless to just listen to the dictation. I need to have an intuitive experience of their fighting power."

"Yes, I have set up some monitors before, but they are not clear enough. When I am free in the afternoon, I will use magic to extract the battle in my memory for you. Today's information will also be sent there." Kotomine Kirei decided Support this person vigorously, maybe there will be surprises.

"Then I will take my leave first. If there is nothing else, I will wait in the library." Akutagawa Ryunosuke stood up, bid him farewell, turned and walked out of the restaurant.
