It wasn't until he pulled Emil across the Fuyuki Bridge that Tosaka Rin realized that he had pulled the wrong sister. However, the little Assassin girl who had no self-awareness not long ago was obviously unable to answer such a profound question as "Why are you who you are?"
"Forget it, after all, it's probably my father who sent us to protect us, and since you are about the same height as Sakura, it's natural that you'll pull the wrong person."
"No……"
"Well, of course, it's possible that we met by chance, but since we met, it proves that my father already knows that I'm coming, and if you have so many subordinates, you must have assigned people to protect Sakura, right?"
"..."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to follow me. I'm going to find Sakura. Remember to tell your father to pick us up early. Didn't the Holy Grail War start in the evening? It's just in time to take us to visit."
Perhaps it was because he had met Emil before and knew that she could not speak, so in a few words, Tosaka Rin arranged the ins and outs and next plan, and then turned around and left without waiting for Assassin to answer.
Emil looked at the Fuyuki Bridge that he had been dragged through before, and then at Rin who was confidently moving in the direction of Shinto for no apparent reason. His thoughts that had become somewhat clear fell into confusion again.
1o8:1o:21
Emil refused [sympathy], or in other words, she had agreed, but the five senses conveyed back were completely chaotic.
Originally, due to the large number of Assassins, Kotomine Kirei, who was able to clearly grasp the information in Fuyuki City, felt slightly uncomfortable. Although the remaining "Four Heavenly Kings" also accepted empathy, their detection range was smaller than that of the nearly eighty Assassin incarnations.
To say it is far from enough.
A moment ago, Markul sent a message saying that a little girl in black clothes who was suspected of being Emil had appeared, so Qili was heading towards the Fuyuki Bridge at the moment.
The assassin group known as [Hassan of Hundred Faces] has confirmed that all individuals can accept the orders of the Command Seal alone. This is Qili's arrangement of "the assassin body is destroyed" after Kenneth entered the Tohsaka mansion.
A scam to mislead information was confirmed.
The only thing that cannot be confirmed is their true identity. Whether "Emil" will accept the command spell is not a suspicion that she possesses powerful magic power.
Skill, but rather, if the Servant cannot understand the meaning of the Command Spell, how will it be executed?
Although Ryunosuke's berserker can strictly follow the orders of the Command Seal, that is probably because it is unable to communicate simply due to [going mad], and is not completely irrational. It is completely different from Emil's situation.
Do you want to give it a try? After all, I still have many Command Seals inherited from my father.
Perhaps Tokiomi-sensei would think that was a waste, but the transfer of the Command Seal itself was not informed to the teacher.
Before meeting Sakura Tohsaka, Qili had been groping for the command spell on his arm, thoughtfully.

"Uncle Kotomine?"
When he heard Tohsaka Sakura's greetings, instead of questioning why she appeared here, the first thing that came to Kotomine Kirei's mind was annoyance that he had let down his guard to such an extent.
Sure enough, I relied too much on the assassins during this period.
Even though Teacher Tokiomi’s daughter has a very rare [imaginary number] attribute, so she is more likely to be ignored than her sister who has all elemental attributes. She should not be the first to be discovered by a little girl who has not systematically learned magic.
right.
"You don't need to call me uncle," Kotomine Kirei walked towards Sakura who was standing under the Fuyuki Bridge map sign. He looked around, but there was no sign of Tohsaka Rin: "Just call me senior brother like your sister.
——Didn’t she come with you?”
"We were together, but she caught the wrong person when they were separated just now." The short girl said softly. Although she didn't use many words, it was easy for the listener to understand.
Did it dissipate? Qili looked at the river where many tourists were still gathered. There were very obvious but dissipating traces of magic power there. There should have been a conflict between the followers here, but they retreated after the ordinary people gathered.
.
If those assassin incarnations are still there - no, you cannot continue to think in this direction and easily include a person or thing that can only exist temporarily as your "possession". If you lose it, you will only be more unable to adapt.
"I will send others to find her," Qili looked at Sakura: "Do you want to find her together or go to Teacher Tokiomi first?"
Generally speaking, children who encounter this kind of situation will inexplicably place the responsibility on themselves and take the initiative to find their lost companions. As a result, most of them end up with one missing child instead of two.
Even if it is successfully recovered in the end, the human and material costs will increase exponentially.
"Please send me to see my father." Tohsaka Sakura thought for a moment and made the right choice.
It doesn't seem that far from here to Tosaka House. If Assassin takes her with her - why did she think of this again?
Kotomine Kirei leaned over and hugged Tohsaka Sakura with a little annoyance.
Then he was once again shocked by his behavior. In fact, even Sakura's eyes widened when she was picked up. After all, Qili's serious image had already left the impression of the Tohsaka sisters in their short time together.
It’s finalized.
Because I have been carrying Emil around a lot lately, are you used to picking up children whenever you see them? If your former deputy colleagues saw her, they would definitely laugh like crazy.
"...It's not safe here, we have to go back as soon as possible." Kotomine Kirei used the excellent reflexes of a representative to come up with a solution - he explained casually and then immediately turned around and ran away, even if Sakura planned to say something in the wind.
Unable to speak.
————
"No, no, you can't just watch the battle between heroic spirits. You should go back as soon as you find your sister."
"Of course, I will talk to Aoi on the phone so that she doesn't have to worry so much."
"There can be no danger. Victory in this war is already within our grasp."
After sending Sakura back to Tosaka's house, Qili left his father and daughter to communicate in the study. He sat in the outer living room and waited for further instructions from the teacher. Because Sakura spoke softly, he could only vaguely hear her.
The voice of the minister.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect you to have such a side. It's really interesting, Qili."
Accompanied by the shining golden light and arrogant words, it was the ancient king that Qi Li had expected, but at this moment he was not wearing the shining gold armor, instead he was wearing a pure white round-neck woolen blouse with exquisite workmanship.
Wearing brown casual pants, the originally straight gold was also loosened, and coupled with a very wide gold necklace and huge gold earrings, it gave off a feeling of exposure - well, a king's private visit in disguise.
"What do you mean?" Qili found the answer as soon as he asked. There was nothing in his arms, but he subconsciously kept holding something in his arms.
"I heard that you have a wife and a daughter." Gilgamesh, who had changed his appearance, did not refer to himself as "my king" and his tone no longer sounded aggressive: "It seems that you will be a good father."
"I think you made a mistake in your judgment this time, the Ancient King." Qili didn't want to discuss that topic, so he forcibly turned the topic back: "This is not because I miss Assassin, it's just because I just hugged Teacher Tokiomi's daughter.
Just came back."
"I didn't mention the word 'missing' at all. No matter how you think about it, that sentence should be a tease for you taking care of Tokiomi's daughter." The Ancient King opened the wine cabinet with ease and took out the red wine and the wine glass to fill himself up.
, then shook the wine glass and looked at Qi Li: "How did your mind jump to that place?"
"Of course it's because it's always been there." Qili's self-defeating words made Gilgamesh pause in his movements of shaking the wine glass.
"I just came back with the teacher's daughter in my arms. Although they are about the same height and weight, their feelings are completely different from Emil's." Qili felt that if he allowed the Ancient King to continue talking, he would definitely be detoured to nowhere.
So he said first: "I was worried all the way about whether I would throw her out because I moved too fast or hit an enemy servant or master."
"Oh?" Gilgamesh sipped the red wine and motioned for Qili to continue.
If you follow the general idea, it is extremely normal to worry about the safety of your master's daughter and worry unnecessarily. Even if you ask a random passerby, you will get a positive evaluation, but the ancient king in front of you
As if he could see through Qi Li's heart, he waited for him to continue explaining.
"I find myself tired of this," Qili said: "Having to protect a target and keep her from harm makes me very unhappy, but after thinking about it carefully, I have never felt that way when I get along with 'Emil' now.
live this kind of thinking.”
Even if the current statement is a bit strange, it is still within the understanding of ordinary people. Just like a retired special forces soldier cannot get used to peaceful daily life, the agent who is mainly responsible for destroying the enemy cannot adapt to the actions of protecting others. Assassin's body
, although it requires some protection, it is far from the point where it needs to remain unharmed.
If it ends here, it is still an interesting story about the agent in darkness and the killer girl without self.
"But?" Gilgamesh's red eyes flashed with unusually obvious malice, and he added a twist.
"Her various incarnations - nameless ordinary assassins can die anytime and anywhere because they are too weak. The number of 'resets' at midnight every day is the number of her deaths that day." Qili paused: "And I
He was so obsessed with it that he ignored the discomfort caused by protecting her."
"Haha, Qili, you finally understand what pleasure is -" "Thus I understand my wish for the Holy Grail."
Gilgamesh stopped talking very unhappily, and his handsome face was even a little distorted: "Oh? What, what?"
"I'm afraid it's about gaining the ability to be able to see what's about to happen to anyone, including but not limited to the pain of death." Qili nodded confidently: "The pain and suffering I am experiencing are not inflicted by me.
When you are unlucky, you will feel very happy."
Click - the wine glass in Gilgamesh's hand cracked.
"After learning about the misfortune of the other party, I will intervene according to the specific situation, whether it is to completely save it, let it continue to deepen, or simply prevent it from developing to maintain the status quo, any development will make me happy."
The more Qi Li analyzed, the more he felt that he was right. The "interest" that he had never been able to find was actually discovered by an assassin who looked like a little girl, and it was not the superficial "pleasure" of ordinary people. It seemed that he participated in the Holy Grail just for this reason.
of war.
"So, what?" Gilgamesh's murderous intent could no longer be concealed.
"People encounter pain and misfortune because they are burdened with sins, and judging sins is one of the powers of the Lord Angel, so I, who can detect and interfere with other people's misfortunes -" Qili crossed himself on his chest: "I am an [angel]
】.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light burst out from the young priest's body, illuminating the living room that was originally dimmed by the sunset. Although it only lasted for a short moment, the expression of the Ancient King had completely collapsed.
"Angel? God?" Gilgamesh slammed the cup, and then laughed wildly: "You really gave me a surprise that I didn't expect, Qili! Haha, haha, hahahaha!"
Even if he fails to get the chance to make a wish in the end, there is an unexpected reward waiting for him in the Einzbern camp who participated in this battle. Of course, it is not Emiya Kiritsugu and his wife who naively want to save the world, but the one who can
Lin Hao, who can transfer other people's diseases to himself, should be able to transfer other people's "misfortune" to himself with a little training.
Qili ignored Gilgamesh who was inexplicably furious and suddenly laughing wildly. After confirming that he had not gained any abilities due to his "awakening" and was still an ordinary agent, he began to think seriously.
If Lin Hao was still alive after the Holy Grail War, he would have made contact in the name of the Holy Church, borrowing her ability to eliminate misfortune in the world and spread the glory of the Lord. I think the other party would not refuse.
However, in order to prevent her from being killed by people from other camps or even the teacher himself, it would be safer to capture her alive and put her under his control - and he actually gave the order to capture her alive before thinking of this. It seems that the agent
His intuition is very accurate.
"Haha... let me see how far you can go in this Holy Grail War." Gilgamesh calmed down and sat on the sofa again, holding up a new wine glass: "Angel Qili.
