Only half of Kotomine Rimasa's body remained outside.
Kotomine Kirei didn't feel much about his father's death.
"If you must die, I hope you kill yourself"?
That kind of thinking no longer exists.
After finishing the church matters, Kotomine Kirei returned to his... residence.
He has been eliminated from this Holy Grail War.
Therefore, the place where he lives will naturally not be a [stronghold].
It's just an ordinary residence.
Standing at the door, Kotomine Kirei looked at everything in this room, feeling a little stunned.
There were two wine bowls placed on the coffee table, half-drunk sake was placed casually on the floor, and there was only one coffee cup.
The laptop on the dining table was not closed, and there were two pieces of paper beside it. They seemed to record something on them, which was the strategy data left by Zuo Cun.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."
The room was a little messy.
When Kotomine Kirei is alone, these things are always neat.
Stacking up the wine bowls, he threw them into the kitchen sink. Kotomine Kirei hesitated for a moment and put the half-flask of sake on the dining table.
He wiped the table, picked up his jar of coffee beans, and walked toward the closet.
But when he reached the closet, Kotomine Kirei's steps paused.
In the closet, there is a photo.
Putting the coffee beans aside for the time being, Kotomine Kirei picked up the photo.
This is a photo he and Samura took at Kyoto University before the Holy Grail War officially started.
The background is none other than Zuo Cun's own statue.
The statue in Zuocun has kind eyebrows and a gentle smile on its face, looking into the distance, watching the whole world and the whole sky.
Zuo Cun, who was arm-in-arm with him, had a rather cynical figure and a slightly unhappy expression.
He seemed a little unhappy with his statue.
Ah, come to think of it...that statue at Eagle Falls in Iwate Prefecture...
Sitting in front of his laptop, Kotomine Kirei found the official phone number of the Annuo Memorial Hall in Zuo Village, Yingluoya.
Taking out his cell phone, Kotomine Kirei made a call.
"Hello? This is the Annuo Memorial Hall in Yingluoyazuo Village."
"Hello, I would like to... donate a new Zuomura Annuo statue."
"well?"
After talking with the staff of the memorial hall for a while, Kotomine Kirei hung up the phone.
Zuocun, what kind of mood should I have at this time?
He looked at Zuo Cun's Sima face in the photo, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.
Raising his head, Kotomine Kirei was stunned again.
The coffee beans he casually placed on the dining table were placed together with the half bottle of sake.
Coffee is the thing Zuomura Annuo hates the most.
Sake, Samura Anno’s favorite drink.
Coffee makes people sober. It is not suitable to be sober in troubled times. When you are sober, you will realize how bad the world is and how much you have lost.
Zuo Cun had been drinking since he was young and continued to drink until his death.
So what should I drink now?
Kotomine Kirei pondered for a moment, put away the coffee beans according to the original plan, then took the cleaned wine bowl, poured himself a bowl of sake, and raised his head——
Drink it all in one gulp.
"Is this what Assassin said, drinking alone?"
Kotomine Kirei poured himself another glass of sake and looked at himself reflected in the drink.
He thought he had seen through the life of the man named Samura Anno.
But after Zuo Cun left, he suddenly realized that he might, in fact... not understand the life of the man named Zuo Cun Annuo at all.
What I saw seemed to be just scratching the surface.
"Ha ha......"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, shook his head slightly, and drank the drink again.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door.
Kotomine Kirei glanced back, put down the wine bowl, walked over and opened the door to his house.
Standing at the door was an unexpected person.
"Yes, Mr. Kotomine."
Weber Velvet, whose eyes were a little swollen, stood at the door of Kotomine Kirei with his luggage.
"Are you Rider's master, Waver Velvet?"
There was a little surprise in Kotomine Kirei's eyes.
"excuse me."
Weber bowed slightly to Kotomine Kirei.
"Rider...my king has passed away, and the Holy Grail War is not over yet. I..."
He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the church, a little confused and a little...
"Mr. Velvet should have come to seek protection from a neutral church, but...as you can see, I'm sorry to say that the current church can no longer protect itself."
Although Kotomine Risei is dead and Kotomine Kirei is still there, the church has indeed turned into a mess. Kotomine Kirei can only try his best to maintain stability, but... if he wants to really react, I'm afraid
It also takes a while.
"this......"
Weber clicked his tongue.
"By the way, Rider has also left the show."
Kotomine Kirei's tone was incomprehensible.
"......Yes."
After a moment of silence, Weber nodded.
"In this Holy Grail War, there are two remaining servants, Saber and Archer."
"...If you don't have a place to stay for the time being, the room Assassin lived in before is temporarily vacant. Although there is still some confusion in the church, I should be able to represent neutrality."
"After all, nominally speaking, I have now taken over my father's...responsibility in this Holy Grail War."
He pulled up the sleeve of his right arm.
Hidden under the sleeves is a command spell for an entire arm, just like Kotomine Rimasa before.
"...Then I'll just bother you for a few days."
After thinking for a moment, Weber nodded and did not reject Kotomine Kirei's kindness.
"When the Holy Grail War is over, I will return to London immediately."
Weber didn't want to bother the old couple anymore.
Although they have become familiar with Weber, Weber knows that he is a minister of the Conquering King. Now in this city, the Holy Grail War is not over for a moment, and he is still in danger for a moment, bringing danger to others.
It was a despicable act, which was why he left the old couple where he lived before and came to the church to seek shelter from a neutral party.
Unexpectedly, the church also fell into chaos.
Weber went to the second floor to put things away, while Kotomine Kirei returned to the living room and continued to think about himself.
He might...
I kind of understand Zuo Cun’s fun.
Clicking on the laptop and opening the forum that Samura often visited, Kotomine Kirei looked at the hundreds of discussions and showed a smile.
This guy Assassin...
He seems to be the loser in this Holy Grail War, but in fact, he feels like he is the one who has gained the most.
Not only did he realize the wish that was supposed to be fulfilled by the Holy Grail, he also left his own mark on this era.
