Five years after the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War.
"Mr. Kotomine, this part of the money is the part of the money I borrowed from you when you were traveling around the world."
Weber Velvet said this to Kotomine Kirei on the phone.
"Actually, there is really no need to repay it."
Kotomine Kirei's voice sounded somewhat helpless.
"Your help to me can prove your selflessness, and I just have to respond to your selflessness."
"If I don't repay this debt, then maybe I won't be worthy of moving towards my current goal."
Weber's voice was tinged with exhaustion.
Not long ago, he ended his traveling career and returned to the Clock Tower.
But what surprised him was that even though five years had passed, the El-Melloi faction, which was in chaos due to Kenneth's death, still hadn't adjusted, and the classroom that Kenneth was originally responsible for was just like this.
Abandoned.
After careful consideration, Weber obtained a low-interest loan from the Matou family and bought this abandoned classroom. Currently, he is working hard to earn credits and strive to obtain the qualification of a third-level magic instructor as soon as possible.
certificate.
He wants to become a teacher.
The opportunity for this incident was actually when he was passing through Greece. The local magic organization thought that he was a magic instructor sent from the Clock Tower, so they pulled the overwhelmed Webber over to teach a group of children who were just starting out in magic.
, since then, Weber discovered that he might have a talent for being a teacher.
"Come on, Velvet, I believe you will be a rising star in the Clock Tower in the future."
After hanging up the phone with Weber, Kotomine Kirei returned to his computer.
The screen displayed on the computer is a forum-like interface.
Kotomine Kirei followed the agreement with Samura and has been operating the account named [Samura ★ Anno] registered by Samura for the past five years, evaluating some game consoles and games, whether it is console games
, which is still a relatively rare PC game nowadays. He has reviewed it, and he has maintained the high quality of the super-long guide for "Heartbeat Memories" originally written by Samura. Therefore, Kotomine Kirei's account has accumulated hundreds of thousands of players from all over the world.
Followers.
As for Samura's withdrawal and disappearance, he posted an obituary for Samura on the Internet, bought a cemetery in the cemetery where Tokiomi Tosaka was buried, and engraved "Okita Yorichu" on the tombstone.
The few friends Zuomura made at the Comic Exhibition still commemorate him. There are even people on the Internet who commemorate "Okita Yorichu". Most of them are gal players. Zuomura wrote
The guide for "Heartbeat Memories" can even be said to be an opportunity to lead a large number of people to play Gal.
But what he wants to do now is not to compile a strategy, he has already done everything he needs to do before.
What he has to do now is his work as a priest.
Fuyuki Church was blown up by Emiya Kiritsugu during the Fourth Holy Grail War, which also killed the previous priest, Kotomine Rimasa. Now Fuyuki Church has been renovated and is presided over by Kotomine Kirei.
As the new priest, Kotomine Kirei has a very good reputation in Fuyuki City. He and the newly-appointed mayor of Fuyuki once held a memorial service for the citizens who lost their lives in the Fuyuki fire.
Therefore, Kotomine Kirei was very popular among the citizens of Fuyuki. In addition to daily worship services, he was often invited to host weddings for newlyweds and send God's blessings to the newlyweds.
But no one knew that under the cross on Kotomine Kirei's chest, hidden in the decent priest's clothes, was a dagger.
A dagger that represents agreement and restraint.
...
Emiya Shirou felt that his life was very happy.
My father is an incredibly gentle guy, and his classmates at school are also a group of fun-loving people. He also has the help and care of Hinako-san and Daga-san.
Although everything was lost in the fire, the new life that started over was undoubtedly happy.
but......
He found that something seemed wrong with his father recently.
Dad's originally strong hands seemed to have become thin and weak, and Dad's originally steady steps seemed to be staggering. He often couldn't see things and needed reading glasses to assist.
Dad is obviously not that old yet.
Moreover, my father recently found Hinako-nee and Taiga-nee, and seemed to explain something, but he didn’t let Hinako-nee and Taiga-nee tell me.
Hinako-san rarely goes out and spends all day in the house. It is said that Taiga-san has been admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages at Kyoto University and has already gone to college.
Usually, he and his father are the only ones left at home.
Emiya Kiritsugu was wearing a kimono. He raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, seeming to be thinking about something.
His eyes couldn't see the moon clearly, but he just needed a short moment of daze.
"Dad, if you want to sleep, go sleep under the quilt."
Shirou looked at his father with some worry.
"Ah...oh, I'm fine."
Kiritsugu chuckled lightly and lowered his head.
"...When I was a child, I longed to be a partner of justice. I was just thinking about this."
Shirou showed a curious expression.
"So have you given up now?"
"Um."
Emiya Kiritsugu nodded.
"Unfortunately, heroes are limited to a certain time and moment."
"When a person becomes an adult from a child, it is difficult to call himself a hero."
"I... found out about this a little late."
There was a self-deprecating smile in Emiya Kiritsugu's words.
"That's it...then there's nothing we can do about it."
Emiya Shirou seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.
Together with his adoptive father, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Yeah, there's really nothing we can do about it."
Emiya Kiritsugu responded.
"If there is no other way, then let me take your place."
Emiya Shirou suddenly said this.
"well?"
Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned for a moment.
"Dad is an adult, so if it doesn't work, then let me do it."
"Dad's dream."
"......Yeah."
Staring at his adopted son, Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes, which were like a pool of stagnant water, seemed to have a wave of emotion.
"I can rest assured that."
Emiya Shirou's eyes were completely different from his.
Even if Shirou embarks on the same path as himself, he will not become the same person as himself.
Emiya Kiritsugu understood this.
He showed a fairly warm smile.
He remembered that when he was a child, someone seemed to ask himself what kind of person he wanted to be.
【I want to be a partner of justice】
...
A few days later, Emiya Kiritsugu passed away suddenly.
