Akutagawa's Life as a Savior

Akutagawa returned to the secluded and solemn Tohsaka mansion, it was already dark, he walked into the empty mansion silently.

This moonlight is lonely and quiet, under the dark night, the insects are singing one after another, and there is no human voice.If there is a poet here, I am afraid that poetry will flourish.

Akutagawa walked into the open door, Kotomine Kirei and Gilgamesh had already left, and he was the only one living tonight.

The door is open and there is no need to worry about safety because the Tohsaka mansion has a defensive circle, which is still the number one defensive circle in the magic world, but since yesterday Kotomine Kirei added him to the safety list, Akutagawa can walk in it freely.

He was thinking about what the King of Heroes said, and the King of Heroes pointed out his narrow-mindedness. To be honest, this probably has something to do with national characteristics. The residents of island countries are often not broad-minded, and they are stubborn and extreme.

Akutagawa was thinking about the deep meaning in the words of the King of Heroes. To be honest, the King of Heroes was the fourth person he had ever seen who seemed to be able to foresee the future. His teacher, Edogawa Ranpo from Buteisha, and Russian Fyodor .Gilgamesh's words were not casual, his eyes showed that he saw a farther future and warned him.

How do you feel about this era?He remembered the woman he had spoken to, Gilgamesh asked me to buy her a drink, she should be a key person.

Akutagawa secretly made up his mind.

In fact, Akutagawa knows that everything Gilgamesh does to him is to influence him, use him, and control him, just like his teacher did to him.But just like his teacher, in the cold calculation and scrutiny, they always have the sincerity to teach him.

It doesn't matter at all, if a person is not used by others, it only means that he is not qualified to be used, and he is not qualified to be valued.Akutagawa doesn't care about the influence others intend to exert, he just needs to ensure that he is walking according to his own wishes.

It was not too late, Akutagawa decided to continue to study in the library.The life in the port mafia and the experience of killing ghosts at night have cultivated his habit of going to bed late and getting up early. How can he sleep before the early morning?

The collection of books in the Tohsaka House is extremely rich, and Akutagawa has harvested a lot in the past two days. Tohsaka Tokiomi should have descendants, and there are traces of the little girl's life in the house.If given the chance, Akutagawa hopes to repay the favor.

The theories in the book and today’s gains are mutually confirmed. The most valuable thing about magic books for Akutagawa is the basic theory. Looking at the world from another perspective, magicians are another species that is completely opposite to ordinary people. At the same time, they can learn For the mysterious knowledge that was impossible to get in touch with originally, this is almost the biggest gain of traveling through the world.

Today's battle made him discover some of his own shortcomings. The new "Rashomon" still can't perfectly coordinate with his combat system.Adding the devouring ability to the knife conflicts with the sharpness of the knife itself; for the magic power that is not well understood, forcibly devouring will result in a very slow speed; the devouring ability is not a passive attribute, there is a reaction time when the attack comes, and so on.

These temporary weaknesses can be overcome, but it will take a certain amount of time.He needs to enhance his knowledge structure and increase the speed of using his ability. Rashomon is an ability that becomes stronger the more he understands. As long as he can understand it, he can devour it.

If it wasn't for the lack of proficiency in using his abilities, he wouldn't be injured at all today.With the ability to devour the magic power and shock that may cause weapon damage and body damage, and then absorb the swallowed magic power to restore your physical strength and strengthen yourself.This battle is not perfect, but this battle is necessary. Fighting is the best way to familiarize yourself with your abilities and tap your potential.

The strongest point of devouring ability lies not only in obliterating things, but also in strengthening oneself.After Akutagawa devours matter and energy through Rashomon, he will homogenize the devoured matter and energy for his own use in a way similar to digestion.Whether it is physical, mental, resistance to abnormalities, or the feeling of root, all have grown after this war.

Gilgamesh's generosity is shocking, but Akutagawa has no doubts. When he chooses to accept the gift, he also accepts the price that must be paid later.

The room was lit with magic oil lamps, whose steady and bright light made it impossible to realize the passage of time.Being in the innermost part of the mansion and being insensitive to magic power, Akutagawa didn't notice that the mansion's magic defenses were being cracked by layers of violence, but he felt the aura of visitors with malicious intentions.

Emiya Kiritsugu tonight experienced the most frustrating night in several years.

Going against the almost smooth experience since the Holy Grail War, when Rider and his Master were ambushed this afternoon, Emiya Kiritsugu's well-arranged foothold and hiding place were raided.When he rushed back, Irisviel was snatched away, Maiya was seriously injured and dying, and Saber had gone to chase the enemy.

Having lost the greatest advantage and the most powerful assistant in the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu was severely injured, but exhaustion, frustration, and pain only made him more ruthless and unscrupulous, more like a machine to achieve his goals.

Kiritsugu didn't think that it was Rider himself who raided the stronghold, but he never thought of telling Saber.This pair of masters have gone their own way from the very beginning, Kiritsugu even thinks that acting alone is far more efficient than having Saber's assistance, their compatibility is really too bad.

When Saber went to chase the enemy, Emiya Kiritsugu rushed to the cellar where she was hiding, and saw Maiya's last side. After accepting the death of her most important and useful assistant, and more importantly, Irisviel's death take away.

It's not just about my own feelings. It's not just my wife who was taken away. Her more important identity is the "Little Holy Grail". opponent's challenge.

But now, she has been taken away.Kiritsugu was burning with anxiety, and first ruled out the suspicion of Rider's camp, because they were incapable of finding a stronghold.Then there was the Berserker camp, but Emiya Kiritsugu who finally broke through the Matou mansion after spending several hours of hard work was extremely disappointed to find that Irisviel was not there.

Emiya Kiritsugu broke through the magic defense of the Tohsaka mansion in nearly three hours, and entered the interior of the Tohsaka mansion.

Tohsaka House is a typical magician's residence, full of magic, but without modern atmosphere.He walked carefully among them, wondering why Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't show up yet.until he walks into a room.

The bloodstains in that room had already dried up, and the gorgeous and luxurious living room became a gloomy murder place, and a guess jumped out of Kiritsugu's heart that made him feel cold all over.

If it is said who Emiya Kiritsugu's most important opponent in the Holy Grail War is, many people may not guess, it is not Tohsaka and Matou with family background, nor is it the genius Kenneth who is famous in the clock tower, as for Caster and Rider's Master, he didn't even pay attention to it.The only thing he valued was Kotomine Kirei, that terrifying guy with an empty heart.

He raised his head with a heavy heart, trying to verify his guess, but found something that made his heart stop: at the open gate, a figure was standing there watching him.

Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was beating wildly, why he didn't notice anyone coming at all, with his vigilance, except for the heroic spirit, it was impossible for anyone to hide it from him.What exactly is this figure?

He stood up straight, secretly prepared to open the inherent enchantment, calmed down and looked at the figure carefully.Unexpectedly, it was a stranger.A male with a very young appearance, standing there quietly in a black suit.He was more vigilant in his heart.

The visitor stood there silently, as if he was about to make a move. Kiritsugu watched his every move vigilantly, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "How dare a bad guest with ill intentions have the nerve to ask the master's guest such a question?"

Emiya Kiritsugu responded unceremoniously: "The master you are talking about is Tosaka Tokiomi, or his unscrupulous disciple Kotomine Kirei?"

The visitor laughed, "It seems that you know Kotomine Kirei pretty well, so you should be the enemy that Kirei values ​​most—— Emiya Kiritsugu, right?"

Kiritsugu kept silent, suspicious of the man's identity in his heart.This shouldn't be, in the materials Kiritsugu collected about Tohsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei, there is no trace of this person at all, he is definitely not the kind of person who will be ignored.

As for the Holy Grail War, he has never given up on collecting information on Kotomine Kirei. If there are omissions, only the temporary elimination of Kotomine Kirei these two days made him relax his vigilance.

But who is this person, how did he appear in the Holy Grail War, and what is the purpose of coming here?This was something Kiritsugu was eager to figure out.

"Why are you here? The Holy Grail War rejects those who have nothing to do with it." Kiritsugu ignored his question and pressed him forcefully.

The man didn't care about Kiritsugu's avoidance of answering, he just replied with a comfortable expression: "I'm just a traveler, I've received Archer's favor and learned about such miraculous battles as the Holy Grail War, as a swordsman, I naturally seek to fight against the strong " Last time he accidentally said the syllable of the King of Heroes by mistake, and almost leaked information, but this time he only said the rank.

Kiritsugu's heart was even heavier, this man was not lying, he could be sure, but that was what made him even more frightened.As a human being, daring to say that he wants to fight the heroic spirit is enough to show his self-confidence.

Why does the Holy Grail War have another exceptional existence at this time?

The Holy Grail War has come to an end, the decisive battle is just around the corner, the enemy and the enemy are already clear, the moment of melee has passed, and Kiritsugu has a splitting headache, how should we deal with this opposing enemy at this time?

As if seeing his entanglement, the man explained consciously: "Your Majesty has already fought against the King of Conquerors, and currently I have no desire to challenge anyone else. I will not participate in the Holy Grail War either. You are scheduled by Kotomine Kirei." Enemy, I will not attack you, don't worry."

Kiritsugu was not at ease, he would not make a move now, but it might not be possible in the future, this person's position was clearly leaning towards Archer's side.The only good thing is that Archer is a maverick and doesn't obey the Master, and this man doesn't seem to like Kotomine Kirei either.

Thinking about how to deal with this man, or how to isolate him from the Holy Grail War, Kiritsugu stepped back tentatively.

What he should know already knew that testing this man's ability was not within the scope of his plan, and he was going to do more important things right now.

Akutagawa blinked and reminded him kindly: "You can walk through the gate, you don't need to jump through the window."

Emiya Kiritsugu ignored him and jumped down with his back turned.When Akutagawa walked to the window, he happened to see the back of him driving away in the dust.

It's time to go to bed, Akutagawa was addicted to books before, and didn't feel the passage of time, Emiya Kiritsugu's arrival brought him back to reality, only to realize that it was already early morning.

He yawned and walked to his room.

Let's go to the world tomorrow, this is the first time he has made this choice on his own initiative.
