After the emptiness in his heart faded slightly, the man who suppressed his thoughts sighed and opened the door to his room.

Suddenly, Kirei felt an unnatural feeling, as if he had entered someone else's room by mistake.

It's not that the smell or temperature is any different, but the sense of environment described in the word atmosphere has obviously changed. Kirei's room, which was originally very simple, was filled with a luxurious and elegant atmosphere, as if it had become a room in a palace pavilion.

Of course, the furnishings or lighting in the room remained completely unchanged, simply because there was a man leaning leisurely on the bench.

?

Wearing an enamel shiny leather jacket with fur trim and a pair of leather pants in a modern style, the golden heroic spirit held a goblet and smiled secretly at Kotomine Kirei.

It's like a forbidden snake entrenched in the Garden of Eden, spitting out snake letters.

Blonde hair like blazing fire and eyes as red as rubies. That person was none other than Tosaka Tokiomi's servant, the Hero King Gilgamesh.

Since being summoned, this heroic spirit has been traveling around freely relying on its ability to act alone. Recently, he has even become more physical, changing into casual clothes and strolling on the street with a swagger. Kirei had heard Tokiomi talk about this matter with a hint of grumbling, but he never expected that Gilgamesh would come to his room.

He didn't take the intrusion into other people's rooms at all. He even poured the red wine he took out of the cupboard without permission into a glass and tasted it elegantly.

Although there are not many, the treasures here are more complete than Tokiomi's wine cellar. What a terrible apprentice.

Kirei couldn't tell what the other person's intention was for his visit. He saw that the table was full of wine bottles. It seemed that he had taken out all the wine in the room and was tasting the wine.

Others may find it surprising. Kirei has a strange quirk. Whenever he hears that there is top-quality wine somewhere, he will buy it first regardless of the circumstances.

Liquor is a profound world that seems endless the more you pay attention to quality. In this case, maybe there will be some kind of taste that can fill the hole in Kirei's heart. If such an encounter really happened, it wouldn't be bad to indulge in alcohol - the desperate monk once half-seriously thought about it.

But so far, his involvement in wine has never yielded any rewards, only more and more bottles of some luxury brands. Of course, he never thought about entertaining guests with these wines, let alone an uninvited guest. Even if the other party praised his wine, he would not want to entertain such a person.

What's the matter with you? Kirei asked patiently.

It's nothing, I'm just interested in you. He looked at Kirei thoughtfully through the wine glass.

How about it? Still taking orders from Tokiomi can't satisfy your soul?

At this point, are you beginning to feel dissatisfied with the contract? Gilgamesh. Kirei didn't answer the question and just asked him back with a cold face.

Even if the opponent is the legendary King of Heroes, Kirei doesn't feel afraid at all. No matter what Tokiomi thinks personally, a servant is still a servant of the Master. No matter who this heroic spirit is, as long as he is alive, he is just an existence subordinate to Tokiomi. Compared with myself, who is a direct disciple of Tokiomi, at most I have the same seniority position, so there is no need to be overly humble towards him.

Kirei's attitude did not make him feel dissatisfied. He just snorted and tasted the wine in the glass.

It was Tokiomi who summoned me. This body can remain in the present world only because of Tokiomi's support. More importantly, he treated me as a minister, so it is not impossible for me to respond to him.

After saying these unexpected words, Gilgamesh's unusually blood-red eyes revealed a look of boredom.

But to be honest, I didn't expect him to be such a boring person. He has no meaning at all.

It's really surprising that a Servant would say such a thing.

Kirei was so surprised that the anger in his heart at the attitude and the suspicion of not knowing the true purpose of his visit had gradually subsided. In this wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, Kirei was almost allowed to have a place in the room.

So they started talking.

Starting from Kotomine Kirei's mentor, Tokiomi Tosaka, they shook their red wine glasses and discussed the Holy Grail, magicians, the Holy Church... and finally even mentioned the root and the inside of the world.

Not only that, but looking at the man who declared, I will be satisfied as long as I enjoy this universe that belongs to my garden, Kotomine Kirei secretly sensed that some kind of fate was approaching.

In the past, there were countless opportunities to break into this place and talk to him, but this king did not do so.

So, why did the oldest hero king come to him only at this time, when Tomasaka Tokiomi controlled his actions with a command spell?

I'm just interested in you. As if aware of Kotomine Kirei's question, Gilgamesh repeated his original words, drank the wine in the glass in his hand, and asked casually:

Kirei, what about you? What is your wish for the Holy Grail?

Hearing this question, Kirei felt that for the first time he didn't know how to answer.

I- Yes, this is the biggest problem. Why does the stigmata appear on Kotomine Kirei's right hand?

I... don't have any special wishes that I want to realize... Kirei's answer was a little confused. Hearing this, a strange light flashed in the red eyes.

This is impossible. Doesn't the Holy Grail only summon those who are qualified to receive it?

That should be true. But...I don't understand either. I don't have any ideals that I want to achieve, and I don't have any long-cherished aspirations that I should achieve. Why was I chosen to participate in this war.

Is this kind of problem so difficult? He chuckled, as if mocking the sullen Kirei. I have neither ideals nor long-cherished wishes. So wouldn’t it be better to just pursue pleasure?

How can this be done! Kirei's tone subconsciously became impatient.

“Do you mean to say that I, who serve God, should pursue pleasure—contaminate myself in such sinful depravity?!”

The command spell system in FZ and FSN has always been a mystery, and I can't figure out the relationship between it. Let's just set it up so that the command spell will not disappear after the servant contract is broken. Otherwise, Rin-chan will be in the ubw line. The situation is difficult to explain, and the reason why Emiya Kiritsugu killed Kenneth is no longer sufficient.

Chapter 68 The next day, the surviving Assassin

[It’s really an exaggeration, Kirei. Why do you equate pleasure with sin? 】

[Because the pleasure gained from doing evil may indeed be a sin, but doing good can also make people feel happy. What is the reason to conclude that pleasure itself is an evil? 】

[The so-called joy, in other words, is the form of the soul and spirit. When we talk about pleasure, we don’t talk about ‘having’ or ‘not having’, but ‘knowing’ or ‘not knowing’. Kirei, you still don’t understand your own spiritual world. You say you have no joy in your heart, but that's actually the case. 】

[Anyway, first you should learn what entertainment is. 】

[Don’t say that, you can do this in your spare time when Tokiomi assigns you to work. Kirei, isn't it your duty to track the other five Masters? Then not only investigate the intentions or strategies of those people, but also find out their motives, and then tell them to me. Is this simple? 】

[Knowing that you have lost, who do you think is the person in front of you now? There are many treasures in this king’s treasure house! 】

[Didn’t I just say that? This king loves the grudges and hatreds of human beings. Now there are people here who want to reverse the laws of nature, even relying on miracles, just to realize their persistent wishes. There must be one or two interesting characters among them. At least it would be better than Tokiomi. 】

[I will still come to patronize your fine wine from now on. Although the wines here cannot be called fine wines, they are all fine wines. It would be a pity to let them go sour in a monk's wine cabinet. 】

Having left, the brilliance in the room has faded, and the atmosphere in Kirei's room has returned to its monotonous look.

Kirei, who had a calm expression, sat on the sofa and looked at several small props placed on the table that looked like eyeballs.

This is the treasure Gilgamesh gave him. Although it is not as good as the performance, it is much more concealed than ordinary familiars, and at least it can fulfill the requirements.

If you think about it carefully, the people participating in this Holy Grail War, whether they are Masters or Servants, are all people who are desperately trying to achieve their long-cherished wishes. However, this hero king who goes his own way is not to pursue the Holy Grail, but because he does not want to. He likes to see people fighting for treasures behind his back and causing trouble, so he joins the fight.

Among the servants gathered in Fuyuki City now, there is probably no one with a weaker reason to join the war than that heroic spirit. In this regard, Kirei was similar to him - a master who didn't know why he participated in the Holy Grail War, and who probably couldn't find anyone else besides him.

No, there must be a reason for Kirei to join the war, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why he was the second person to obtain the Command Seal after Tokiomi Tokiomi. Perhaps deep down in Kirei's heart that he didn't realize he also longed for the miracle of the Holy Grail.

But what he wants is definitely not the pleasure he talks about, yes, absolutely not!

Kotomine Kirei started to pack away the wine bottles on the table, and thought of something in his mind.

The person who really knows the answer is not someone else.

Emiya Kiritsugu. That man was closer than anyone to the answer Kirei was looking for. Kirei couldn't help but have an idea in his mind, just like the conversation just now, if he could also have a question and answer with that man——

Of course, the positions of both sides are completely different. The relationship between these two people will not be about conversation, but about bullets and swords. But that didn't matter, Kirei just wanted to know Kiritsugu as a person. The life-and-death struggle that put his life on the line probably showed the man's inner world more clearly than any words.

And...the hands clearing the wine table paused slightly.

The young man who had been chasing him fiercely from the beginning, Shuo Yue.

Where did his murderous intent come from? What is it about me that attracts him?

Inexplicably, Kotomine Kirei felt that as long as he could understand the will of either of them, then——

He will find his own essence.

As for survival or destruction, this is something to consider after finding it.

The next day, early in the morning, Matou Kariya's house

After a mentally debilitating night, Sakusuki and Miyu get up in the same bed.

Shuo Yue sat up and yawned, scratched the hair that had exploded, turned around and sat by the bed to put on slippers.

——These actions are completely synchronized with Miyou.

She wears white children's slippers with bunny ears on them, and they make a cute popping sound when she walks - this is Sakura's treasure.

The two of them maintained a high degree of consistency in their movements, crossing the living room filled with books and snacks on the floor, and walked into the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, Sakuyue skillfully hooked up the small stool under the sink with his feet, passed his hands under Miyu's armpits, picked her up, and placed her on the stool so that she could get enough height to look over the mirror. I saw my own face.

Filling the two cups with water and squeezing toothpaste onto the toothbrushes, one large and one small, Sakuyue handed the children's toothbrush to Miyu, and the two started brushing their teeth in sync.

You have to brush up and down, gulu gulu gulu...

I got it, Onii-chan.

Looking in the mirror, it should be a very harmonious picture. Two slackers who also look like they are not awake are working hard to take care of themselves.

Then Sakuyue wrung out the small towel with hot water and spread it on Miyu's face. She obediently stretched out her little hands and wiped it herself.

During this period, Sakuyue also finished his own and finished washing. Sakuyue and Miyu looked at each other as she raised her head and looked at him.

The two reached out their hands in tacit understanding——

rock-paper-scissors.

A ritual that has been the most effective in resolving human disputes since ancient times was performed.

As a result, Miyu continued to win the championship. Shuo Yue, who admitted defeat, retracted her open palm, while Miyu smiled proudly, raised her head proudly like a princess, and declared the winner.

Fresh milk waffles, honey roasted banana yogurt, and...

Sushi, sushi. By the way, I bought salmon yesterday. Bring it and bake it with sauce, Sakutsuki.

While they were talking, two more synchronized guys, one big and one small, crowded into the bathroom. Kariya, who was squinting his eyes, and Sakura, who was nodding her head and looking like she hadn't woken up. It was obvious that she didn't sleep well last night either.

The words were interrupted, and Miyu pouted dissatisfiedly. As a result, she became lighter and was carried out of the bathroom by Sakuyue.

You want grapefruit black tea, right? I'll make it for you. I'll make it for you. Shuo Yue tickled the girl's little nose provocatively, silently suppressing her ambition of buns and fried dough sticks, and walked towards the kitchen.

Let's go, I'll be busy later.

Don't forget to grill the salmon with soy sauce.

roll!

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Kariya and Sakura went about their business, while Miyu and Sakuzuki walked down the stairs to the basement where several barriers were laid out.

When he opened the door, he saw figures with different appearances, their whole bodies bound by magic belts, and their faces wearing skull masks with their heads lowered, as if they were still in a coma - they looked like a human trafficker's den.
