Emiya Kiritsugu was taking a short rest in a hotel.
Returning to the house I bought was too time-consuming.
......All right.
In fact, it was Emiya Kiritsugu who somewhat wanted to escape.
He loved Irisviel deeply, but he also betrayed his feelings.
No matter from any angle.
Irisviel is destined to die for him.
This is very ironic, and it is also the source of why Emiya Kiritsugu is so uneasy at the moment.
Especially... what I am facing now is the Assassin group.
At that time in Weiyuanchuan, if Assassin died... No, it is meaningless to think about those things now. The failed plan has no value in even being mentioned at this time.
The icons in front of me were connected by strings one after another. The heads of Kotomine Kirei and Samura Anno were next to each other, and they were placed not far from Fuyuki Church.
To deal with Kotomine Kirei using the same method that the Master used to deal with Lancer?
It's not advisable. This man's alertness is not unusually high, and Assassin's job agency also has a major advantage, that is, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. If he plants a bomb near Kotomine Kirei's residence, I'm afraid he will be caught immediately.
Assassin was aware of it.
trouble......
So, what about setting up a fight and then sniping and killing Kotomine Kirei?
No, that man Kotomine Kirei......
knock.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the hotel door.
Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes fell into serious silence.
He didn't answer or open the door, he just loaded the gun in his hand, then stood on the side of the door, waiting for the guy who knocked on the door to walk in.
But there were only three knocks on the door, and the person seemed to have stopped knocking.
but......
Although the man at the door did not continue knocking, he did not look like leaving. It was as if he was standing at the door of Emiya Kiritsugu's room, waiting for something.
Emiya Kiritsugu's heart sank slightly as time slipped away bit by bit.
"Emiya Kiritsugu."
What sounded was a somewhat familiar voice from Emiya Kiritsugu.
——Kotomine Kirei!
Emiya Kiritsugu almost didn't hesitate, activated his Temporal Control instantly, set fire to all the documents he had compiled and hung on the wall, and then jumped out through the window of the employment agency.
As if he noticed the movement inside the room, Kotomine Kirei frowned.
——Bang!
A punch hit the door lock, and the room opened. Except for a pile of crackling and burning information, there was nothing of value.
"Hmph...did you escape?"
Emiya Kiritsugu's escape was too fast. He knew that if he was intercepted by Kotomine Kirei and Samura Ano in this area, his Holy Grail War and even his entire life would be over.
Kotomine Kirei didn't pay attention to the blazing flames. He also knew that even if the flames were not ignited, it would probably not reveal any useful information.
He has never concealed his information to any extent. This is the epitome of Kotomine Kirei's attitude towards the Holy Grail War, and few people know his true face.
"Assassin, how are you doing there?"
He asked Zuo Cun in the contract.
"I saw him, but as you said, I didn't pay attention to him."
Zuocun squatted on the top of a power tower, overlooking the surrounding area, feeling quite bored.
"Actually, I don't think there's a need to be so cautious."
"Emiya Kiritsugu, even if he has some means to hide himself, he cannot be considered powerful without Saber."
Samura deeply hated Emiya Kiritsugu and the woman Emiya Kiritsugu brought with him, and also had some contempt for them.
A guy like this who only hides in the dark and fires cold arrows cannot be a truly strong person.
You must know that even those so-called "anti-barbarian patriots" who Zuo Cun laughed at at the beginning had their own reasons that they could not give in to. They just didn't find the right one.
As for Emiya Kiritsugu, it doesn't matter what this man wants to do...
No matter how noble his wish is, it will eventually deteriorate due to the process.
"So we might as well break through his stronghold directly. You can let me try it alone first."
Saying that, Zuo Cun became eager to try again.
I have long been in no hurry - I have been looking forward to this kind of thing with An Nuo more than once.
"...Just wait a little longer."
"I still have something I want to ask Emiya Kiritsugu."
Looking at the empty room, Kotomine Kirei shook his head and walked out of the room.
From before the Holy Grail War began, he had been full of doubts about Emiya Kiritsugu's way of doing things.
[Questions] about...Emiya Kiritsugu’s life history.
He originally felt that Emiya Kiritsugu was of the same kind as him, and he had developed a great interest in this man at the beginning of the Holy Grail War. He wanted to find his true face from him, but he did not expect to meet Samura in advance.
.
But even so, he still had some doubts and wanted to ask Emiya Kiritsugu.
perhaps.......
Can this be considered a kind of [greedy]?
.......
"This is from Ms. Mustard next door."
Kuu Maiya handed a box of oranges to Annuo.
Annuo's mouth twitched as he listened.
That was what he discovered the day after he moved here.
That elf hid his magic power so well that even Annuo couldn't see it clearly.
Even Anno only realized something belatedly, let alone Kuu Maiya and Irisviel.
And Annuo had no plans to say anything.
He could vaguely guess the reason why the flesh-bearing elf hid his magic power and lived in seclusion here, but that had nothing to do with him.
He is not familiar with the other party either.
Just treat them as normal neighbors.
"I see."
Taking a box of oranges from Kuu Maiya's hand, Annuo nodded.
"Remember to say thank you to Ms. Mustard."
"some."
Kuu Maiya nodded and left.
When she stays by Annuo's side, she will feel comfortable but uncomfortable.
Just because she regards herself as Emiya Kiritsugu's tool does not mean that she has completely eliminated herself, otherwise she would not go to Fuyuki City to eat sweets crazily in her free time.
She could feel that unlike the chill and terror on the battlefield, Annuo was kind at ordinary times, and this kind of kindness faced everyone.
But it was this kind of kindness that made Kuu Maiya feel something was wrong.
She is an orphan born in a war-torn country. She has felt the unfairness of the world since she was a child. Her later encounter and acquaintance with Emiya Kiritsugu also filled her with a sense of absurdity and distortion. Regarding this sudden beauty, she
She felt extremely uncomfortable and awkward.
Just try to escape.
Anyway...the end of this Holy Grail War is really not far away.
