"Are you really full?"

"Really, Sakura has never been so full before." Sakura rubbed her belly.

It has bulged slightly, but the raised arc is very light, because most of the food has been converted into magic power.

"Then let's go."

When paying the bill, Hui directly threw down a few Fukuzawa Yukichi and didn't ask for change, because it was too troublesome to carry.

The waiter didn't dare to say anything more, because Hui's temperament, coupled with this way of spending money, confirmed her belief that Hui was a lady from everyone who came out to play.

After paying the bill, Hui led Xiao Ying out of the store, ready to go back.

As soon as I stepped out of the store, a gust of cold air hit my face in an instant.

"We're going back, is there anywhere Sakura wants to go?"

Sakura hesitated for a moment, thinking of the outsider's family in Chancheng, no, it should be an outsider now.

She has been adopted by the Matou family. This adoption is not just for fun, but must completely cut off all ties with the original family.

Sakura shook her head in disappointment: "No."

The two women walked in the direction of the previous hotel.

It is already afternoon.

There were fewer pedestrians on the road.

Hui rewrapped her scarf and put on a mask outside, but it didn't attract too many side-eyes.

……

While Hui and Sakura were spending their days leisurely.

Fuyuki City.

After the fierce battle the night before, three servants left the field all at once, no, if Hui was included, there should be four.

Today, there are only three servants left on the surface: Rider, Saber, and Archer.

The Holy Grail War entered the final stage of intense heat in an instant, and all the masters felt that the storm was coming.

Among them, because Iskandar used the King's Army Power twice in a row, his magic power was seriously overdrawn, and he couldn't even maintain the entity, so he could only hide with Weber in the mountainous area close to the leylines to recuperate.

Emiya Kiritsugu was busy moving his position from the castle in the suburbs to the new residential area in the east of the urban area, occupying this place as the final place where the Holy Grail descended.

Because the place where the Holy Grail descends must have enough spiritual powers, that is, the place where the leylines are concentrated.

In Fuyuki City, there are four places that meet the conditions: the house of the Tosaka family, the Fuyuki Church, Enzangshan Liudong Temple, and the rest is the new residential area located in the east of the city.

As for Tohsaka Tokiomi, the consideration is more far-reaching.

Now there is still a three-party camp, and the three-legged confrontation is the most unstable. It will definitely evolve into a situation where two of the weaker parties join together to attack the third party. This is a lesson from history.

Among the three forces, he is faintly the most powerful, at least he thinks so.

In order to prevent the other two parties from attacking him in groups, he... naturally acted first and proposed to form an alliance first, and even if it was not good enough, he would try to drive a wedge between the other two camps.

After much deliberation, it is still easier for the Einzbern family to reach an alliance.

Therefore, he sent his familiar to invite Irisviel.

The location was chosen at Liudong Temple. The best place was the Fuyuki Church, but the church has long since disappeared along with the entire mountainside.

When Irisviel, Maiya, and Artoria arrived at Ryudoji Temple, Tokiomi Tosaka had already been waiting here for a long time.

"My humble Tosaka Tokiomi, first of all I would like to express my gratitude for your coming here." Tosaka Tokiomi's elegant voice was full of confidence, and then he turned sideways to reveal Kirei behind him, "Let me introduce, this is Kotomine Kirei Li, he is my direct disciple and was also my opponent for the Holy Grail."

This was the first time Irisviel saw Kotomine Kirei, the dangerous person named by Emiya Kiritsugu.

She couldn't help being on guard.

Tosaka Tokiomi sensed Irisviel's vigilance, and quickly added: "However, it's the past now, he has lost his followers, and even the imperial authority has long since given up."

The implication is that he is not a threat.

Tosaka Tokiomi continued: "This Holy Grail War is finally about to usher in its final scene. As expected, the remaining ones are the Master of the 'Initial Three Houses' and an outsider who temporarily participated. So, how do you Looking at the current battle situation?"

In an unknown hotel.

Emiya Kiritsugu remotely listened to the content of the conversation through the bug worn by Maiya.

There was no light turned on in the room, and it was completely dark. It seemed that this was the only way to calm his impetuous mood.

Irisviel replied forcefully: "We don't have any opinion, because we have the strongest Saber, so there is no need to hide and wait for an opportunity, as long as we win all the way upright."

Tohsaka Tokiomi listened, and smiled noncommittally in his heart.

Is Saber the strongest?

In a normal Holy Grail War, the Saber class is indeed the strongest.

But this Holy Grail War has long been abnormal.

Not only did three world-famous kings appear at one time, but even the gods of the Age of Gods were summoned.

Even if the god has already left the stage, the remaining three kings are not idle people, and it is not certain who is the strongest.

Tohsaka Tokiomi suppressed his thoughts, glanced at Irisviel, and started his own purpose: "I see, Saber is indeed a powerful heroic spirit. However, this Holy Grail War has no idlers. According to my opinion, I'm afraid Rider will win in the end."

Tokiomi paused, showing a heartbroken expression, and looked deeply at Irisviel: "Even if it's only a ten-thousandth, the Holy Grail must never fall into the hands of outsiders. Regarding this point, our opinions should be able to unify." .”

Irisviel kept her expression on the face, but she actually gritted her teeth and persisted. As the number of servants leaving the stage increased, her body functions began to degrade rapidly. Just standing had consumed almost all of her strength.

But because of this, she couldn't let the other party see the flaws. She forcefully replied calmly and sharply: "What kind of alliance is simply ridiculous. However, if we just want us to change the priority of destroying the enemy, I can see your sincerity." Think about it a little bit."

"What do you mean?" Tokiomi Tohsaka gestured.

"Before defeating the other masters, do not attack the Tohsaka family. If it is just such an agreement, we can accept it conditionally."

"A conditional truce agreement? It's a very appropriate compromise." Tohsaka Tokiomi motioned Irisviel to state the conditions.

"We have two requests. First, disclose all the information you have about Rider and his master."

"Yes." Tokiomi immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing the situation, Irisviel strikes while the iron is hot: "The second request is to exclude Kotomine Kirei from the Holy Grail War."

As soon as this word comes out.

Tohsaka Tokiomi's pupils shrank.

A creepy feeling surged in my heart.

It feels like when you wake up in the middle of the night and feel that the pillow is wet and waxy, turn on the light and look, it is not a pillow, but a big boa constrictor with large clouded leopard-like markings all over its body.

Irisviel thought that Tokiomi disagreed, and added: "Of course, I won't let you kill him, but I also want him to leave Fuyuki before the end of this war... No, leaving the country of Neon, the best As late as tomorrow morning."

Tohsaka Tokiomi's doubts deepened.

To make the Einzbern family so nervous, what exactly is Kotomine Kirei hiding from himself?

"Could you please explain the reason?" Tokiomi looked at Irisviel inquiringly.

"This agent has a lot of grievances with our Einzbern family. If the Tohsaka camp wants to protect him, then we can't trust you at all." Irisviel explained vaguely.

Tosaka Tokiomi's back felt cold, he turned around and asked Kotomine Kirei: "What's going on here?"

Kotomine Kirei stopped closing his eyes to meditate, and briefly talked about the attack on Maiya at the foot of the Church Hill.

At last.

Tokiomi nodded and agreed to Irisviel's conditions.

Chapter 406 Untitled

Tokiomi agrees.

Irisviel also nodded in agreement.

After leaving Liudong Temple, Irisviel couldn't hold on any longer, and fell into Maiya's arms, her body function was reaching its limit.

After Irisviel and the others left.

Tosaka Tokiomi turned around and looked at Kotomine Kirei with dissatisfaction: "I think you should tell me about the grievances between you and the Einzbern family."

Seeing that Kotomine Kirei remained silent, Tokiomi continued: "It's a pity, but there's nothing you can do about it. You should withdraw from this war, Kotomine Kirei."

"...Yes." Kotomine Kirei was silent for a while, then agreed with a blank expression.

but.

When he went back to pack his luggage and saw the photos of Emiya Kiritsugu scattered on the table, the expression that had always been serious and unsmiling showed a rare expression of unwillingness.

"Eimiya Kiritsugu, who are you? Do you want me to leave here without knowing why?" Kotomine Kirei murmured to himself.

He didn't want to leave like this, he hadn't gotten the method of "curing" his personality defects from a similar person like Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Huh?" Kotomine Kirei put away the emotion on his face, looked up at the uninvited guest in the room, "King of Heroes, what are you doing here?"

Gilgamesh glanced at Kotomine Kirei mockingly: "What are you still struggling with? Even if you are clumsy, it's not like this, Kotomine Kirei, even now, the Holy Grail is still calling you, and you I also hope to continue fighting.”

Kotomine Kirei replied in a deep voice: "Since I am sensible, I have only lived to explore one thing. I have spent time and endured pain for this, but all of this ended in vain. But now, I feel that The 'answer' to that agonizing question is close at hand."

"You have already introspected yourself so deeply, what is there to hesitate?" Gilgamesh said.

Kotomine Kirei was silent for a moment before explaining the reason: "I have a hunch that when I know all the answers, I will be devastated."

Jingle Bell!

The phone on the table rang, Kotomine Kirei picked up the phone and put it next to his ear, and said after a while, "Got it, thanks for your hard work."

These are non-staff members of the Fuyuki Church. After Kotomine Risei's death, they took orders from Kotomine Kirei.

"Did you receive any particularly exciting report?" Gilgamesh noticed a flash of light on Kirei's face.

"I just found out the secret hiding place of the Einzbern group."

"Haha~, Kirei, you..." Gilgamesh was amused by the scene of disagreement, "You planned to continue working from the beginning."

"I hesitated for a while... I could choose to stop, but in the end, King of Heroes, it's still as you said." Kotomine Kirei lifted up his sleeves, revealing the densely packed Command Seals, "I am , I can’t think of any other way except to ask the end.”

"What are you?"

"A gift from my father." After Yanfeng Rizheng died, he inherited the Command Seal from his father.

"Oh~, but, Kirei, there is a very serious problem now. If you want to participate in the Holy Grail War of your own will, then Tosaka Tokiomi will definitely become your enemy."

Gilgamesh seemed serious.

"In other words, you are now sharing a room with hostile servants with your bare hands. Isn't this a very dangerous situation?"

"That's not necessarily true. I've already thought of a way to beg for mercy."

"Oh~"

"Gilgamesh, let me tell you the truth about the Holy Grail War that you don't know yet."

"What consciousness?" Gilgamesh sat up.

Kotomine Kirei also finished, and slowly explained: "In the final analysis, this ceremony held in Fuyuki City is to try to open the passage to the root by gathering the souls of seven heroic spirits as sacrifices. After the seven servants are killed, the Great Holy Grail can be activated, all seven, you understand!"

Gilgamesh's face has become gloomy.

Kotomine Kirei continued his efforts: "This is the reason why my teacher is so reluctant to consume the Command Seals, because after all the struggles are over, he needs to let his servants commit suicide."

Gilgamesh's face was terribly gloomy: "That is to say, Tokiomi's loyalty to me is all false?"

Kotomine Kirei did not explain directly, but said: "In the final analysis, my teacher is just a magician through and through. Even if he worships a heroic spirit, he will not have illusions about an idol."

Gilgamesh laughed out of breath: "Hehe~ Tokiomi, you finally showed your merits in the end."

"So, what are you going to do? King of Heroes. After knowing this, are you still loyal to my teacher and punishing me for my betrayal?"

"That's hard to say. Although his loyalty is false, he still pays tribute to me with magic power. If he completely breaks his relationship with the Master, it will be inconvenient for me to survive in this world."

Gilgamesh looked at Kotomine Kirei, "Oh, speaking of it, there is another Master who only has Command Seals but no partner, and is looking for a servant who can break away from the contract."

"Ah, there is such a person, but I don't know, is that man a Master who can enter the eyes of the King of Heroes?"

"No problem. Although it's too rigid and a bit of a fly in the ointment, it still has a future."

Finally, the two looked at each other tacitly.
