Chapter 2320 December 31, 2018 The Beginning of Everything
"It is... December 31, 2018, 16:10 pm."
Matthew looked at the clock in the solitary room nervously.
"There are eight hours left until January 1, 2019."
"Da Vinci and Miss Lawrence haven't come back yet... Although it is clear that they probably went to work for the unfreezing of Group A, but..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little restless.
Four days...it was a bit too hard.
Not only was there no entertainment in the confinement room, but most importantly... I was worried about my companions.
The first one was Fujimaru Ritsuka, then Mashu, then Munir, and finally Leonardo da Vinci, who has not come back yet and was called to the control room to participate in the unfreezing of Group A. Everyone was overwhelmed by the complicated
The interrogation made me uneasy.
Dong dong dong——
While Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were still communicating, the door of the confinement room was knocked - and it was knocked with a loud sound, knocking the three people in the room, plus the little white beast Fufu.
Startled.
"Excuse me."
The voice is somewhat familiar.
Opening the door, standing at the door was Kotomine Kirei, the vicar of the church dressed as a priest and with a solemn face.
"Hello, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mr. Munir, and the little girl from the sub-server."
"It looks like you guys had a good rest."
Kotomine Kirei obviously didn't make any special movements, just standing in that place, but at the same time, the three people in the room felt a "hair stand on their heads" feeling.
"what you up to?"
"Father Kotomine."
After blocking Mashu behind him, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Kotomine Kirei warily.
"Just call me priest. There is no need to carry a prefix. My name has no special meaning."
Kotomine Kirei shook his head.
"As for what I want to do... I want to have a final chat with you before ending, so I stopped by here once."
"...you said it's over?"
Munir frowned and pushed Fufu back desperately.
"The end of four days of house arrest."
Kotomine Kirei smiled.
"Although the review will continue until tomorrow, your suspicions have been cleared, including of course the two who are still working in the control room."
"Although the Magic Association undoubtedly wants to arrest you, our Holy Church represents a different attitude."
Putting his hands behind his back, he focused his eyes on Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"We can correctly recognize your fight and your dedication. My superior, Priest Noi, also highly praised your struggle."
"He told me to [protect them from the hidden structure of the Magic Association. This is the minimum repayment for our benefactor]."
This answer made Ritsuka Fujimaru and others a little stunned.
"Really, really!? That means we will be acquitted soon!?"
Munir showed an expression of great surprise.
"Yes."
Kotomine Kirei nodded.
"In a few hours, all the people in Old Chaldea will be lifted from house arrest. I have already convinced Mr. Goldruff."
Very happy - although very happy, Fujimaru Ritsuka was still a little uneasy.
Not only did it come from the heavy atmosphere in Chaldea, but Kotomine Kirei's eyes still made people feel cold and uncomfortable.
She still suppressed her excitement and asked Kotomine Kirei calmly: "So, can Da Vinci and Miss Lawrence be released together with us?"
"Yes, there are Leonardo da Vinci and Miss Lawrence...where are they!"
Mashu came from behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulders, and asked Kotomine Kirei somewhat eagerly.
"They are servants, so the rules for the living naturally do not apply to the dead."
"After the work that requires their assistance is completed, they will be forced to leave."
Kotomine Kirei shook his head gently.
Munir's expression, which was still excited at first, suddenly changed.
"What is this? A denial of the Servant?"
He said somewhat sullenly.
"Do you know that those two are also the [benefactors] in your mouth? Chaldea can maintain it until now, but you don't know the contribution of those two at all!"
Munir's attitude represents the attitude of all Chaldean employees.
Lawrence and Leonardo da Vinci's dedication is seen by every Chaldean staff member. To say that they should be dismissed so easily now... is too overbearing!
"Does your opinion represent the opinion of the Holy Church?"
Mash looked at Kotomine Kirei with hostility.
"Humanity's partner, mysterious enemy - do you and the Holy Church behind you think so?"
"No, followers are actually good things. What I hate is the concept of [heroic spirits]."
Kotomine Kirei shook his head.
"All in all, this is not something that can be discussed in this room. I am here just to see you and inform you, that's all."
"Oh, by the way, even so, we still gave those two servants a last chance to have dinner with you. Don't forget this."
"So, above."
"What a shame."
He squinted his eyes and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with an inexplicable smile.
"...What are you sorry for?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little confused.
"What's the regret? You actually asked such a question."
The smile on Kotomine Kirei's face suddenly turned a little ferocious.
"Of course it refers to the reality that the miracles you have achieved have been trampled upon and destroyed by mortals!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the confinement room, and the door closed instantly.
The silent air and the three people gnashing their teeth were left behind.
"Kotomine Kirei is not trustworthy."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were cold.
"But now, we still-"
【The operation was successful and completed.】
[The box is thawed, end.]
[There are three minutes left until the box opens.]
[Father Kotomine, please move to the control room, we will transition to the resuscitation technique next. 】
Chaldea's broadcast rang.
...
"It's...excellent! It's so outstanding!"
In the control room, Goldruff Mujik was shouting excitedly.
"Things that those guys at NFF are helpless to do are as easy as unscrewing a bottle cap with your hands!"
"Well...it seems that if you want to stay, it's not non-negotiable. I remember that Chaldea's magical magic and electricity conversion system was made by Falgo, um...
..”
He looked at Lawrence and Da Vinci and showed a smile that he thought was handsome.
"How about it, do you want to become my servant? The salary is negotiable."
Lawrence had a dull face, as if he didn't want to speak.
