Did the witch get her wish today?

Although he was a little confused when he just woke up, but when Lilium put on the illusion again, he immediately recognized this brown-haired woman.

"You?...you? That Tokiomi's disciple?!"

Fortunately, the engraving worm hidden in Matou Kariya's body only? destroyed? his body, but not his brain.In front of the agent and Acher, although he hated it, he didn't directly summon his servants to fight you to the death.

Especially when he knew that Lilium was the one who saved him, the targeted hostility became weaker.

"why……"

Rather, he seemed suddenly unable to accept this fact.

"Tokiomi's disciple, why did you save me?"

"To? Explore the magic of the Matou family, especially the part that constructed the Holy Grail War." Lilium didn't hide anything, and said her purpose openly. "Actually, my apprentice Tohsaka is to study the direction of Fuyuki's spiritual veins. By the way, Tohsaka's family is also the closest among you three."

She smiled friendly towards the man: "You? Want to rescue Sakura, right?"

Tohsaka Rin sneaked back to Fuyuki and caused Matou Kariya to expose his whereabouts in order to save someone. Lilium has been using various methods to investigate this adopted? Tohsaka Sakura's Matou family and identity Kariya himself is the Master.

All kinds of clues show that the current head of the Matou family is most likely the first generation head of the Matou family who has lived for nearly a hundred years—Maqili Zorgen.

And Matou Kariya, who had already left the Matou family when he was young and cut off contact with the Demon Dao, did not hesitate to use the engraving worm to make himself inhuman and ghost to compete for the Holy Grail. No matter what he thought, he was adopted into the Matou family. The childhood sweetheart's daughter? Can't get rid of the relationship.

"You? Got it? What?!"

You've got it?.

Lilium observed the man's attitude, and said slowly: "It's just an investigation?—? Next? It's just your Matou family's genealogy. I have to say, the homonym of that name is too obvious." She sighed, "People who live a long time are more or less distorted, and magicians are no exception."

"Sakura...are you having a bad day?"

In an instant, the youth completely broke his defenses.

"You? What do you know...cough cough...cough!!" He was out of breath and coughed angrily, "That guy...Ziyan! He didn't want to be an heir at all... cough cough!"

Bright red blood flowed from the corner of Kariya Matou's mouth. He roughly wiped the corner of his mouth, and looked at Lilium, who had lifted the illusion, with his only eyes.

"If it wasn't for Tokiomi, Sakura wouldn't have encountered such a thing?!"

"...Do you? Know that child's magical attributes?" Before Kariya answered, the girl continued to speak on her own. "The two daughters of the Tohsaka family? Both of them have much higher magic aptitude than their father, Tohsaka Tokiomi. Among them, Rin has the adaptability of all five elements."

"Sakura, on the other hand, possesses an extremely rare overhead element—the attribute of an imaginary number."

Lilium rubbed? Rubbed her temples.

"In my impression, there are very few people who can use imaginary number magic, and there are even fewer who can let Sakura inherit the magic engraving. You? Don't you know that women with excellent aptitude who don't have magic engravings are usually Those rubbish...cough, how do magicians treat them?"

"He can send Sakura to other places, why is it Matou!"

"Then I'm going to ask you? Mr. Kariya, why are you so sure that he knows the secret of the Matou family?"

"Varied……?!"

Seeing that the other party was stunned, the girl continued to increase her firepower: "Tokiomi Tohsaka is an orthodox magician. This sentence means that he has no interest at all, and he doesn't want to explore other magician families. It’s a secret, because that’s tantamount to declaring war on the other side. By the way—? Mention, because it’s too orthodox? He usually doesn’t even use the phone and phone very much.”

In addition, this middle-aged man who is already a father still retains a certain point of innocence of a rich young master, and he is not suspicious of Kotomine Kirei and her who get along day and night. Can you see that Is there a problem with the Matou family?

"I know you want to kill Tokiomi, but don't forget, he is Mrs. Aoi's husband, and also the father of those two children."

"Make a deal, Mr. Matou, I'll help you rescue Sakura, and you? Give up your qualifications as a master and give me the magic principles of the Matou family's Holy Grail War system." Lilium stretched out her hand, "About The latter, books, materials, samples, or just handing Matou Zouken to me? That’s fine.”

"How is it? It's a good deal, right?"

Of course, she didn't let the other party make a decision now, but put him back at home.

"Think it over? Reply again, I will let the familiar follow you?"

After Kariya left, Kotomine Kirei, who had been silent all this time, said, "Since you want to obtain the Matou family's magic, wouldn't it be faster to attack directly?"

Gilgamesh didn't have the slightest interest in the battle plans of the masters. Kariya left soon after waking up, and now only the substitute priest who knew her secret was left at home.

The girl observed him calmly—and turned to the other party: "Because I am not bloodless, and his followers are irrational, but their abilities are excellent."

Afterwards, there will be an even more difficult Einzbern family, who can? Sell favors? Add—? A helper, why not do it?

But this - this evening, Lilium failed to wait for Matou Kariya's reply, but instead waited for this - this bad news.

"What?! You said that Father Yanfeng is dead??"

After Kotomine Kirei returned to the church, she received a call from Tokiomi the next day.

Yes, it's going to rain red. Although she was using a landline, the person who notified her this time was Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"It was the excessive blood loss caused by the gunshot wound, and it was already too late when Kirei returned?"

The person who died was Kotomine Kirei's biological father, the judge of this Holy Grail War - Kotomine Risei.

"According to the current situation, it is no longer suitable to continue to hide the hole cards. Lilian, come here immediately-? Visit Tohsaka's house."

Fuyuki City during the day is different from that at night. Although Mitokawa experienced a big explosion a few hours ago, most people were obviously not disturbed by the commotion and still lived their ordinary and peaceful days.

When Lilium arrived at the Tohsaka mansion, Kotomine Kirei had already arrived?

"...You? Here? Miss Lilian."

Gilgamesh, who was dressed in civilian clothes, leaned quietly by the window, watching the priest deliver the bad news to the two with cold eyes.

"Why was even the priest killed?...!"

As Father Risei's friend, even Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was always elegant, showed a bit of wavering at this moment, beating the armrest of the chair as if venting his anger.

"Can't? Tolerate... This kind of thing? Absolutely can't? Tolerate it!!"

The death of his reliable companion seems to have dealt a blow to the magician.

"Father Risei is like my other -? father -?, but unexpectedly because of the Holy Grail War..."

The man in the red suit sat at the table, lowered his head, showing a rare tiredness.

"……Feel sorry."

Mine Kirei just shook his head wordlessly, maybe it was this kind of attitude that made people feel even more unbearable, but Lilium felt it—a slight violation of harmony.

She has seen many partings, heroic and sad, smooth and quiet, miserable or relieved or happy or distorted, but she rarely sees a parent-child parting with a blood relationship like this?

Apart from sadness, the man was covered with emptiness, confusion and...excitement?

Ironically, the reason why she entered Fuyuki Church for the first time in the five years since her apprenticeship was to collect the body of her mentor's friend and investigate the cause of his death.

When he came to the church, the old priest had already been tidied up, covered with a white cloth, and lay quietly on the long table in the lounge, as if he had fallen asleep.

Although the cause of death was a gunshot, Kotomine Kirei did not determine who the murderer was.

"I'm afraid he is the Master who participated in the crusade against Wei Yuanchuan." The young man who also had Kotomine's blood gently covered the old man's face with a white cloth. "I don't want other Masters to get Command Seals too, so after receiving the reward..."

Matou Kariya was with them at that time, so there was no way he would have had the chance to commit murder.Among the remaining masters, Emiya Kiritsugu, who is good at using firearms, should be the most suspicious on the surface.

But Kotomine Kirei said:

"This? It's not like that man's style."

"Emiya Kiritsugu's actions are very risky. So far, the disputes involved and the killings done so far do not match the actual benefits and risks."

"And this...all ended nine years ago, when I met the Einzbern family."

His father's body is still in front of him, but he has already started to talk about it—a master he has almost never met.

"...You? Very interested in Emiya Kiritsugu?"

"Do not……"

The man suddenly stopped, as if he had woken up suddenly, and then abruptly changed the subject.

"You? Aren't you going back?"

In the empty church, the priest's deep voice reverberated.

The brunette woman sitting on the pew turned her head and looked at him, "No, it's okay anyway." After speaking, she continued to look at the church where the murder took place.

Even knowing that she was deceiving Tokiomi, Kirei, whose father was murdered, still chose to keep this a secret, and, also, did not tell Tokiomi that Kariya was still alive.

"This is my -? first visit to this church. Why don't you take a good look?"

Although it is the stronghold of the Holy Church, the decoration here is not particularly gorgeous. There are neither exquisite glass paintings, nor artistic statues or drawings that may appear in Western European churches.

Two rows of benches are facing the small altar, and the blood on the ground has not been completely cleaned up.

——The statue of the Virgin stands quietly on the wall. Even after witnessing the murder of believers, she still lowers her eyes, her face soft and full of love.

It is no different from the statues of every church I have seen.

"You? Seems to hate church."

Kotomine Kirei walked along the aisle, passed her sitting on the bench, and stopped suddenly.

"I once received a report from Assassin. Caster regards you?

... Oh yes, the French Marshal did? He shouted quite loudly.

"However, in fact, it was you who finally wiped out him. Rather, your action trajectory completely changed with Caster's. You've noticed him since the appearance of that evil way. .”

"What do you want to say?"

"Actually? What you hate is not the church, but the gods, Miss Lilium?"

The man's voice was a little trembling, but at the moment when he confided his name - he accentuated it - he began to bite the words.

Coincidentally, although the written culture is different, the teachings followed by this world church are partly very similar to the sects they once believed in.

"Everyone calls Caster an 'evil way', and even he himself thinks that using that book is inspired by a demon."

She bent her waist, her elbows rested on her knees, and her hands rested on the cheek beside her.

"This? That's strange? Why do you think it's something left by the devil?"

The sunlight shines through the window glass into the dimly lit interior, reflecting the pure white statue much more? A sense of holiness.

"When did the gods become the representatives of goodness?"

"What a joke!"

The man's voice became intense? Get up.

"No matter how you look at it, the technique used by Caster is out of line with common sense, an extremely evil existence!"

"If that thing is really left by the gods? Then, then——!"

"Although you? said? an 'existence of extreme evil', but Kotomine-kun..."

Lilium interrupted? The voice, which was gradually losing its composure, turned its head to look at the young man in the monk's robe.

"You? Why are you laughing?"

A faint light flickered in the man's bottomless eyes. At this moment, there was a strange smile on his face.

At this moment, she finally fully understood the nature of this person in front of her.

slap-

Suddenly, there was a sound of cracking in the ears of both of them.

The girl saw the man facing her look up, and then, she couldn't help but put on a look of astonishment.

She followed the other party's line of sight, turned her head slowly, and caught a glimpse of ?—? smearing red.

—? A crack lay across the intact statue of the Virgin Mary, and bright red blood was slowly flowing out of the kindly woman's lightly closed eyes.

Like tears—?

The author has something to say: don't say it, it's just the beginning of the plot.
