Kotomine Kirei looked at the uninvited guest in front of him calmly, not showing the slightest surprise. In other words, he was used to it and did not react in any other way, but continued with his morning lessons.
"It's really a false belief, Kirei."
Gilgamesh looked at his prayer, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and couldn't help laughing.
"Whether it's false or not, I disagree, but you seem to be in a very good mood today, archer."
Kotomine Kirei closed the scripture in front of him and looked at Gilgamesh beside him. Today, he always had an elusive smile on his face, although the smile was contagious and made the atmosphere around him soothed.
, but he hated the smile on Gilgamesh's face.
In other words, he hates smiles on anyone's face. He is insulated from this method of soothing the atmosphere, especially for a servant with a bad personality like Gilgamesh. When that unpredictable smile appears on his face, he feels like
I still don’t know what I’m thinking about.
"Because I found something more interesting than the Holy Grail, and that worthless broken cup can no longer attract my attention."
Gilgamesh took out the wine from the King's Treasure. He shook the wine glass gently, and the amber-like liquid reflected his scarlet eyes.
"That's really surprising. Don't you think you have a wish you want to realize?"
"Hahaha, my wish cannot be realized by just the Holy Grail. Only mediocre people place their wishes on foreign objects, so they are mediocre people."
Looking at Yanmine Kirei who was silent, he took a sip of wine and then continued.
"What I want to see is the struggle of those who have great ambitions but low abilities. Although this is very stupid, this kind of stupidity is particularly valuable compared with ordinary wise men. No matter whether they can achieve their wishes in the end, then
The process of struggle is so bright and charming, and they are all precious treasures in the world."
"So you're watching my struggle too?"
Kotomine Kirei raised his head and stared at Gilgamesh.
"So does my struggle bring you pleasure?"
"Hahaha, you are not the only one struggling, Kirei, you are not the only one I can see."
Gilgamesh raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. Although he acted very boldly, as a king, he could perfectly control this temperament.
"Kirei, if you continue to be confused, you will die."
"Am I...confused?"
Kotomine Kirei lowered his head and looked at the dense command spells on his arms. These were left behind by the masters who participated in the Holy Grail War and were eliminated. He had lost his identity as a master and could relax. From the responsibility of the master
and freedom from obligations.
"What am I confused about?"
"What I hate the most is people who pretend to be asleep. Kirei, don't you still know what your wish is?"
As if being touched by Gilgamesh's words, Kotomine Kirei recalled the feeling of pleasure, just like dry land being moistened by water. He instinctively felt that this was what he was pursuing.
"No, that's not it."
He took a deep breath, recited a prayer silently, and suppressed the feeling again.
"Ha - you are really boring now, but have you considered that you will be qualified as a master again? After all, you also have a wish."
Gilgamesh shook his head, the smile on his face making it impossible for others to see his true inner emotions.
"Although it's possible in theory, it's impossible in practice. The purpose of my participation in the Holy Grail War is just as my mentor Tokiomi said, as an aid to the Tohsaka camp. Now that my mission has all ended, I have
There is no need to appear as Master again."
"Don't be so absolute, Kirei. No matter how carefully Tosaka Tokiomi prepares, no matter what struggles he makes, he will never have any hope of obtaining the Holy Grail."
Gilgamesh said lazily, without any intention of concealing his thoughts.
"You are really open-minded about your master."
"No, no, no, I think you have misunderstood the relationship between me and Tokiomi Tosaka. He holds the courtesy of a minister and offers his magic power like a tribute. I only agreed to him when I accepted his tribute.
The summons is just like a contract, which is different from those servants who are driven like dogs."
"But you can't get rid of the Command Seal."
"Hmph, it's just a command spell. Do you think I really have no way? It's just that it doesn't seem necessary now. The outcome of this Holy Grail War has already been fixed."
"Does the famous King of Heroes also believe in fate?"
"Naturally, I don't care about fate. In other words, there is no fate that can bind me. It's just a difficult enemy. I will naturally defeat him."
A strange color appeared in Kotomine Kirei's eyes. Who could Gilgamesh admit to be a difficult enemy? He couldn't help but follow Gilgamesh's gaze, and a skyscraper that almost connected the sky and the earth came into view.
.
Just as he was about to ask, a sharp pain suddenly spread throughout his body, like fire flowing in his blood. This kind of pain was not unfamiliar to him, or it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was quite familiar with it.
"Well……"
He couldn't help but groan, and saw a bright red mark on his left forearm close to the elbow, which seemed to be condensed from donated blood.
The pain gradually dissipated, and Kotomine Kirei stopped thinking because of surprise. He subconsciously rolled up his sleeves, and saw a brand new Command Seal appear on his wrist.
"This...how is this possible?!"
The Master qualification that he had obviously lost due to losing Assassin actually returned to him. Although theoretically he could become a Master again, he never expected that such a thing would actually happen to him.
"Why is this impossible?"
The smile on Gilgamesh's face suddenly turned evil.
"This only shows that the Holy Grail has great expectations for you. Do you still want to deny your wish?"
"I……"
"Your wish still has to be realized through your own efforts. On the road to pursuing the Holy Grail, maybe you will find something that can really make you happy, but I think you should cheer up now. After all,
Another guy who can please me has come to the area."
"another……"
Kotomine Kirei didn't seem to have recovered from the huge impact. He raised his head blankly and stared at the air in front of him. Gilgamesh had already left, leaving only golden magic fragments and leisurely words.
Discourse.
"I guess I should call him Emiya Kiritsugu, hahaha, that's really interesting."
"Emiya Kiritsugu..."
Kotomine Kirei repeated the name again, the look in his eyes restored.
