[Comprehensive] Judging people by their appearance

"Brother is no longer a member of the church. At this time, shouldn't you be preparing for the upcoming war with Mr. Tohsaka in the Magic Association, and you still have the leisure to come here?"

"..."

"My brother, who was chosen by the Holy Grail three years ago, is he here to laugh at me? I have worked so hard for so long but have not been affirmed by the Holy Grail. Even the plan of my brother's father and Mr. Tohsaka never brought me along."

"..."

"Well, it doesn't matter. You are not here. The church is mine alone. When the matter is over and you come back, maybe I have already usurped the throne."

"Today is your birthday."

Qianye turned her head and stared at the trees outside the window, "Well, I've been so busy recently that I even forgot."

After Kotomine Kirei sent Kallen up for adoption, no one knew what happened between Kotomine Kirei and his beloved sister Chiba. Unknowingly, the crooked brothers and sisters have become estranged a lot.

To be precise, it is Chiba's unilateral alienation. Compared with Chiba's almost childish cold war, Kotomine Kirei is a mature adult, infinitely conniving with Chiba's behavior and words.

Only occasionally Qianye avoided him too much, as an older brother, he would give a little lesson to his disobedient younger sister.

He knew in his heart that Qianye had discovered something and was hiding from him like a scourge.

That kid was always bright and sharp.

"I made mapo tofu for you."

Kotomine Kirei was still wearing his apron, holding a plate of bright red mapo tofu, the spicy smell could be smelled clearly from far away.

Chiba ignored him, Kotomine Kirei didn't speak, picked up a spoon and fed it to Chiba.

The tender tofu feeling came from the lips, Chiba's gaze swept across the command spell on the back of Kotomine Kirei's hand, and slowly opened his mouth to eat it.

"... a bit spicy."

Kotomine Kirei's expression was calm, and his deep voice was full of doubts: "You have been eating my mapo tofu for more than ten years, why haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

Qianye took a sip of milk to dispel the pungent taste in his mouth.

"I won't get used to it. I don't like spicy food in the first place, but I pretended to like it because I'm my brother."

This is the first time for Chiba to speak out about her taste preferences. The 16-year-old girl has grown extremely slowly in recent years.

She was still the little girl who had just reached Kotomine Kirei's chest, her small face was still childish, but much brighter.

Obviously everything is the same as before, but she is no longer the younger sister who trusts her brother in everything.

"My brother doesn't have to worry so much about birthdays in the future. There are still things to do in the church. I'm going to work."

The house is getting colder and colder. Chiba often stays in the church for a long time. Kotomine Kirei resigned from the church three years ago and became the magician of the Tohsaka family. Kotomine Rizheng is working with Tohsaka Tokiomi to prepare for the upcoming Holy Grail These days, wars and church affairs have been handled by Chiba alone.

Kotomine Risei is also very satisfied with Chiba. If Kotomine Kirei is mainly active in magicians in the future, maybe the church will be left to Chiba.

Therefore, when Chiba left Japan, Kotomine Risei and Kotomine Kirei did not receive any news.

Chiba did not put Aphrodite's mirror in the church. She took the mirror to Italy and found the jeweler.

She wondered how they got the mirror.

However, when Chiba arrived, she had envisioned many possibilities, but nothing like the present one.

The air was filled with a choking smell of blood, and the dried blood was like a spider's legs winding in the gorgeous room. The nanny and the cook were all killed by one blow, and the wound looked like a death caused by a stick-shaped object directly piercing the heart.

On the second floor, Chiba held the documents in one hand and compared the corpses with the photos on the documents.

"All dead?"

Qianye murmured, and suddenly heard a burst of crying, Qianye searched for the sound and went to the last room, and pushed open the door.

A 20-year-old woman was huddled in a corner, covered in blood, with a wound in her heart, and looked at Chiba with a pale face and fear.

Qianye stared at her for a while, then compared it with the photo on the information, and after confirming that she was the daughter, Qianye stepped in and walked to her side.

"Do you want to live?"

The woman trembled all over, her eyes lit up when she heard Qianye's words, she nodded quickly: "Help me! Help me!"

Qianye smiled reassuringly, and took out the mirror she had been wearing all the time, "Do you know this?"

The woman nodded immediately: "This is my father's collection, which was bought by a Japanese buyer before."

"And you know how your father got this?"

Chiba's innocent and innocent face, those smiling eyes filled with warmth and sunshine, made the woman relax, "I heard from my father that it was given to him by a friend, but my father's friend passed away three months ago. "

Qianye was thoughtful, "Is that so..."

The woman's eyes were wide open, her blood loss made her pale and frighteningly pale, her hands tightly grasped Chiba, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw, she clutched her chest, gasping for breath: "The position of my heart is different from that of ordinary people , That's why I survived, but I'm in so much pain, I have no strength, little sister, please help me, my parents are dead, all the property in my family is mine, I will give you shares, I will give you money , I'll give you whatever you want!"

"Well, I'll ask one last question then."

Qianye put away the mirror and squatted in front of the woman. The thin hair on her forehead covered half of her eyebrows and eyes, and the shadow cast blurred the girl's gaze.

"Who wants to kill you?"

The woman shook her head in pain: "I didn't see it clearly, I can't remember... This kind of question will wait until you send me to the hospital..."

Qianye patted the woman's shoulder lightly, as if embracing the embarrassed woman, and pulled out her other hand from her chest, thick blood dripping.

"Family is the most important thing."

Qianye found a clean cloth in the house to wipe her hands, searched the house again, and left here without finding any other valuable clues.

After Qianye left, a group of black shadows seeped out from the wall, gradually enveloping the dead woman in the corner of the wall. Slowly wriggling, hands and feet stretched out from the black shadow, and the black mist transformed into chains wrapped around the corner of the wall. On the woman's body, the face of a 20-year-old woman squirmed, as if shedding skin and bones, and turned into another person.

Pale, delicate, angelic maiden.

He closed his eyes tightly and made no sound.

"Teacher, why did the Holy Grail choose me?"

"Only a magician with a strong desire will be affirmed by the Holy Grail. Kirei, you must have a desire in your heart that you haven't discovered yet, but it doesn't matter, you don't need to worry about it. In this battle, you just need to cooperate well Tohsaka’s actions, just leave at the right time.”

Kotomine Kirei was silent, Tosaka Tokiomi's words made him not know how to answer, perhaps the answer that was too boring made him a little disappointed.

He really couldn't find a reason why he needed the Holy Grail, and he had no desire to borrow the power of the Holy Grail to realize it.

What he wants, he can get.

Tosaka Tokiomi cut off the paper with a dagger, looked at the content on it, and said: "The report from the bell tower, Elmeloy has obtained a new holy relic, and there are four masters that have been identified so far. El Meloy, Kotomine Kirei, Tosaka Tokiomi, and Emiya Kiritsugu."

This familiar name.

"Weigong?"

"Once a notorious killer known for hunting magicians, Einzbern has already prepared him for this battle."

Tohsaka Tokiomi smiled elegantly and confidently: "Everything is in progress, no matter what the qualifications of the remaining three masters are, the more one step ahead, the more they are the candidates for the Holy Grail...By the way, where is your sister?"

"She's at church."

In fact, however, Chiba had been missing for a week.

The members of the church finally came to the conclusion that Chiba left the church for the last time to go to Italy to recover the holy relics, but the phone was disconnected and they could not be contacted. Even the holy relics that Chiba was going to recover in name never appeared.

"The most important thing right now is the Holy Grail. I'll let the people in the church deal with the Chiba matter. That kid should be in some trouble."

Kotomine Kirei warned Kotomine Kirei: "You have always done excellent things about the church, I know you will not refuse my orders, but regarding Chiba, I must remind you once again, at this time, you cannot leave Fuyuki City."

The Holy Grail is an artifact that can make any wish come true.

Heroes from all ages follow the call of the Holy Grail and come to the world in the form of heroic spirits.

A sacred tool that can grant any wish, and those who are crushed by despair will regard this as their last hope.

In a short period of time, the boy who snatched away the holy relic of Elmeloy drew a summoning circle beside the bonfire expectantly and nervously.

Emiya Kiritsugu summoned a Heroic Spirit that he was not satisfied with.

Tohsaka Tokiomi fell into steadfast anticipation.

Everything followed the track of history until Kariya Matou made a decision that could destroy himself.

A body that has been eroded by dirty bugs, loathing himself and rejecting himself, but still dragging this body to complete the last and most persistent thing he wants to do.

cherry……

"Make your eyes cloudy and your heart violent. Prisoner bound by the threshold of madness. I am the master of this chain, answering the call of the Holy Grail, obeying this will..."

In the dazzling light, Kariya Matou didn't expect anything from his heroic spirit, as long as he had enough combat power, the berserker doubled by his spell would be fine even if he lost consciousness, as long as he could win the Holy Grail for him... as long as ...

"Humble human being, seeing your ugly appearance, God will forgive you for your sin of disrespect!"

Matou Kariya's pupils widened, as if seeing something unbelievable, subconsciously took two steps back, but when he cast the curse, he used too much magic power, Matou Kariya staggered and fell to the ground, looking at the black woman in horror She bowed gracefully in front of him.

"How...how is that possible!"

The light faded, and the one standing in the center of the magic circle was not the berserk warrior that Matou Kariya thought he was bound by, but an extremely coquettish and evil woman, her snake-like pupils stared coldly at Matou Kariya , Even when she forcefully raised his face, she forgot to resist.

The heroic spirit's harsh gaze swept across the flesh and blood texture of Matou Kariya, and disgust welled up from those strange eyes.

"Are you my r? Chick, for the sake of your humbleness, God is reluctant to play this childish game with you. A curse of that level still wants to control me? What an ignorant human being."

Heroic Spirit's extremely contemptuous tone made Matou Kariya tremble all over, and there was only one point left in his mind, failure, a berserker who was not under his control, could he really drive her to win the Holy Grail?

Now he doesn't even know what kind of heroic spirit she is.

"You, since you call me r, then you should also report your name!"

……

It was an extremely old box. It carried the power of the underworld and received Ishtar's sword. It was lucky to be able to preserve this dilapidated appearance.

Myths and legends are always a bit more legendary. The holy relic that dragged the goddess into hell really summoned the oldest hero king Gilgamesh.

When Tohsaka Tokiomi saw Gilgamesh, he became more and more convinced that the victory of this war was none other than the Tohsaka family. Although that king had a bad temper and was arrogant, he might not obey the Master's orders.

But Tosaka Tokiomi was still sure that the king would be willing to help him win the Holy Grail.

"That king can love people."

Kotomine Kirei sighed, as if lamenting such a wonderful thing as love.

"His palace once accommodated blonde girls from all over the country, which shows Gilgamesh's love and dedication to Ishtar. With this thing, Gilgamesh will cooperate with me."

Tohsaka Tokiomi smiled in satisfaction, he respected Gilgamesh, but after all he still had to think about the Tohsaka family.

Kotomine Kirei looked at the strand of blond hair lying quietly inside the black velvet box.

Sacred relics have the ability to summon heroic spirits, and the effect brought by the body of a god is a hundred times better than ordinary holy relics.

Rumor has it that Gilgamesh snatched this strand of golden hair from Alulu, the goddess of creation, and used a secret method to preserve it forever.

Until now it appeared in Tosaka Tokiomi's hands.

But how can he be sure that it is a real holy relic?

There are so many blond-haired girls in the world, and today's technology is still very good at preserving a strand of hair.

The more that king loves Ishtar, the better it will be for Kotomine Kirei.

"Kirei, has your Heroic Spirit summoned?"

Kotomine Kirei shook his head, looking at his teacher sipping black tea gracefully with a calm face, "Tonight."

"Well, when you come to this world, our plan can also be put on the agenda. Remember to send out demons to closely monitor the other masters."

"is teacher."

Tohsaka Tokiomi left the study with a smile, and Kotomine Kirei heard the soft knock of the door closing.

Although it was expected, Kotomine Kirei felt slightly bored and puzzled by the fact that the teacher trusted him so much.

Is this what he has been pursuing?

I used to think that everything was difficult and unacceptable in the world, but it was unexpectedly easy and joyful.

Chiba, you should be watching him here, thinking of the astonishment and bewilderment that will appear on your younger sister's face, Kotomine Kirei's mood will be extremely happy.

"I found something interesting."

A blond-haired man appeared on the sofa, he recklessly raised his foot and put it on the ancient wooden tea table that Tosaka Tokiomi liked very much, looking at Kotomine Kirei with eyes as red as gemstones.

"I heard that you were chosen by the Holy Grail earlier than that boring fellow Shichen? What wish do you have, Kirei?"

The tone of the blond king is high, anyone caught by his sight should be honored, he is not going to change anything, Gilgamesh is the king of all, even if he is quite interested in this seemingly rigid and honest man.

Because in this world, the only person who can change him is that god.

"Wish?"

Kotomine Kirei chuckled softly, "My wish is already being fulfilled, my lord."

Fuyuki City is filled with several sporadic spiritual powers. Except for the identified Master, the remaining two or three unknowns are just for others. As the church that supervises the Holy Grail War every time, as long as The Master appeared, and the church was the first to know.

The heroic spirit summoned by Yanfeng Kirei, the first one to know was his father Yanmine Rizheng.

When he learned the identity of this heroic spirit, he immediately ordered Kirei not to let her appear in front of Gilgamesh.

Kotomine Kirei summoned the Heroic Spirit's role as an Assassin, which did not match that god's role at all. Kotomine Kirei was also quite surprised by this, but what was even more surprising was the current situation of this Heroic Spirit.

Entangled in chains and shrouded in karmic fire, thinking about the final fate of the god in the myth, it is not difficult to imagine why it became like this.

If such an Ishtar is discovered by Gilgamesh at this moment, I am afraid that both Tohsaka Tokiomi's plan and Kotomine Kirei's plan will all be ruined in the hands of that bad-tempered king.

"During this period, if you see Archer, stay away immediately."

Kotomine Kirei ordered.

One hand was slowly resting on Kotomine Kirei's arm. The slender and pale arm was wrapped around a thick chain, with a beautiful face that even the gods would envy. His empty eyes stared at the calm Yan from bottom to top. Mine Kirei, he was not moved by Ishtar's beauty, but the familiarity of the other person made Kotomine Kirei distance himself from this god without the first moment.

"Kirei, I'm hungry."

Ishtar murmured sadly, her aggrieved voice was delicate and soft.

She was almost lying in Kotomine Kirei's arms, her hazy emerald green pupils were empty, and her small pink tongue hungrily licked her lips, begging like a fairy who seduced the world: "Kirei, I Very hungry."

"Kirei, your soul is so delicious..."

Very hungry, very hungry, my stomach is empty, and I don't know how much to fill it up.

In that place, the only thing to eat is evil spirits and ghosts. Once I accepted the setting that souls are delicious, I began to agree with them strangely.

The darker the soul the tastier it is, the darker it is.

"Kirei, I want to eat you..."
