Emiya Shirou raised his head and looked at this building, which he had seen often but only visited a few times, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
"What's wrong, Shirou?"
Annuo turned his face and looked at Emiya Shirou.
"The man Akutsu-san mentioned was named Kotomine Kirei. I recalled it carefully... I think I have seen him before."
Emiya Shirou lowered his head.
"Dad... that is my father, it seems that the funeral of Emiya Kiritsugu was arranged by this priest of Kotomine Kirei... After all, it seems that he is the only one in Fuyuki City.
Although Emiya Kiritsugu did undergo some changes after that incident, Anno felt that Kiritsugu would never live in peace with the man named Kotomine Kirei.
Annuo learned something about that man's essence from Zuo Cun. Although he hid his essence because of his agreement with Zuo Cun, he only hid it.
Being hidden doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
It is impossible for Emiya Kiritsugu not to see the true nature of Kotomine Kirei. In the same way, although he himself already knew that his previous actions were wrong, the belief in his heart never disappeared even if it was broken.
,so......
It is absolutely impossible for two people to coexist peacefully.
If Kiritsugu knew that he was placed and buried by Kotomine Kirei, a being who could be called a natural enemy, he would probably be furious...
...Fortunately, Kiritsugu doesn’t need to know about this.
"...Then, let's go in first."
"I just didn't expect that Mr. Kotomine... is actually related to the magic world."
Emiya Shirou said and sighed.
Magician, magician...
Although I started practicing magic with my father, I am still stuck at the entry-level level because of my blind speculation. And in Fuyuki City, so many magicians suddenly appeared...
Sister Jie is a magician with a very mysterious background, and judging from the behavior of her and the servant named Xiang An behind her... I always feel like there is something terrible hidden behind her.
And Kotomine Kirei...this priest is actually the supervisor of this Holy Grail War that kills each other...
And Tohsaka, she must have been the one behind the red servant at that time.
Among the people you know, how many are magicians?
...
"Um?"
Kotomine Kirei was reading a manga when he suddenly noticed something.
There are still two kinds of magic power, one is very strong, the other...
"We are currently in the midst of the Holy Grail War. Theoretically speaking, it is against the rules to proactively contact the supervisor's personnel when the servant has not withdrawn."
Putting down the manga with the famous book cover, Kotomine Kirei touched the feathers under his clothes and stood up.
"Unknown Master, you came here... hmm?"
Turning around, Kotomine Kirei saw an unexpected figure...and there were two of them.
Annuo, who was wearing a cloak, nodded slightly.
Kotomine Kirei showed a look of understanding.
"......I see."
His eyes were focused on Emiya Shirou.
"So, Shirou Emiya, are you the seventh Master in this Holy Grail War and the Master of Saber?"
"Hey...? You remember me?"
Emiya Shirou looked a little surprised.
He should have only met Kotomine Kirei once, five years ago, and in the past five years, he has grown from a half-year-old child to a sophomore in high school. The changes are not small, but Mine Kirei actually
Remember yourself and recognize it at a glance?
"Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu and I are actually old acquaintances. I remember the fact that he adopted you, and I remembered it subconsciously."
Kotomine Kirei walked down the steps.
"So, Shirou Emiya, Master of Saber, why did you come to this absolutely neutral area?"
He stood at a... relatively polite distance.
"...It was actually an... accident that I became the Master."
"If the master should be an orthodox magician, maybe it would be better to change to someone else?"
Emiya Shirou touched his shoulder and said with some difficulty.
"...It turns out that this is indeed a serious situation."
Kotomine Kirei was silent for a moment and nodded.
Generally speaking, there are four places in the Holy Grail War that are absolutely fixed. In addition to the three imperial families who built the Holy Grail War system, namely Matou, Tohsaka, and Einzbern, the Clock Tower is also the magic family.
The association will also have a fixed quota, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald from the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Bazett Fraga Mark from the Fifth Holy Grail War this time.
Remis all participated in the battle using the quota of the Clock Tower.
In most cases, the remaining three positions are chosen by the Great Holy Grail independently based on the qualifications of the desired Master. Of course, if there is still a vacancy in the position of Master when the Holy Grail War is approaching, the Clock Tower will use a certain
In this way, at the cost of money or other valuable things, the magician who is willing to pay these prices becomes the master, that is, the seat of the master is sold. The Middle Eastern magician in this Holy Grail War, Atram·
It was through this method that Gary Asta obtained the Master's position.
The Master chosen by the Holy Grail...sometimes, some weird situations will happen.
For example, in the last Holy Grail War, in addition to the four fixed seats, the remaining three positions were occupied by Waver Velvet, Kotomine Kirei himself, and... a man named Yuyu Ryunosuke
The villains took over.
Waver Velvet was a young boy who impulsively stole his teacher's holy relic and skipped class to participate in the Holy Grail War.
Kotomine Kirei himself is a villain who wants to know his true face because of his strong subconscious curiosity about his own nature.
And that Ryuunosuke Ubu is simply a perverted serial murderer.
Guys with strong desires are generally weird guys.
Emiya Shirou...what's your situation?
"I almost understand the purpose of your coming to me, so let me explain it to you in detail."
Kotomine Kirei put his hands behind his back.
"The first thing to explain is that the position of Master cannot be transferred easily."
"After becoming a Master, you can't give up easily."
"The so-called master is synonymous with war, and it is also a kind of experience."
"The so-called pain will disappear the moment you obtain the Holy Grail."
"This is the incident you were involved in, namely - the Holy Grail War."
"It's a war from which once you get involved, it's almost impossible to get out."
