Chapter 152: Everything Is Tokiomi's Fault!
Emiya Kiritsugu's face was shrouded in shadow, and the sunlight shining through the gap in the curtains was clearly within reach, but he didn't even have the thought of taking a step forward.
Hiding in the dark will make him feel more secure.
Acher has gone to investigate, and his reactions and actions are still so loyal and quick, as if yesterday's argument never happened.
But Emiya Kiritsugu knew that the other party was no longer trustworthy.
He also regretted arguing with the heroic spirit who was his right-hand man. He could even tolerate the childish and naive tactics of the King of Knights, but in front of Archer, he completely failed.
Sure enough, it's the pot of compatibility. People who are too similar can often get along with each other tacitly at the beginning, but once they understand the nature of the other party, the rupture will be greater than other followers.
This is why the so-called heretics are more hateful than heretics.
Thinking of Archer's childhood dream of becoming a partner of justice, Emiya Kiritsugu became extremely irritable.
They both realized the immaturity of this kind of dream at the same time, but Archer realized it much later than him before he was alive, but at least he was moving in his direction, but after spending a few days with Aili and the others, he became hesitant Uncertainty, yesterday even completely regressed back to the original point.
This kind of stupid and naive dream, who on earth spoiled such a good seedling?
Emiya Kiritsugu pushed open the door, looked around for a while, quickly opened the door of the next room, got in, looked at Maiya who was still asleep, her expressionless face was as cold and firm as a rock.
He still regressed. Compared with the peak youth period, he now began to rely more on the support of his companions and family members. When encountering hardships, he thought of Maiya who could be absolutely trusted for the first time. For a killer, this Not a good habit.
Rather than lamenting the past, it is more realistic to think carefully about how to deal with the present.
First of all, Archer must not be trusted anymore. Loyalty is not absolute, but it is absolutely disloyal. Emiya Kiritsugu will not let any unstable factor interfere with his plan.
The last Command Spell was responsible for making him kill himself in the event of victory.
From this point of view, what he can rely on now is the Knight King. After Archer's negotiation and counseling, he gradually understands that innocent little girl.
Although she may still do something to herself in the end, her unsteady will may turn things around,
She no longer prepared Command Seals, but she would have more trust in herself.
Emiya Kiritsugu's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he figured out a joint.
There is no need to be wary of Saber, because she has no irreconcilable conflict with herself, on the contrary, the two who have lost other trustees may become the most favorable combination.
After all, what Emiya Kiritsugu prayed for was just to make a wish, and after making the wish, so what if this body is torn to pieces by a saber?
In the next plan, let's adjust it, maximize the use of Archer's power, use him as props and cannon fodder, and use Saber as the trump card.
"She still needs a good rest."
A red figure appeared abruptly in the room, staring at Emiya Kiritsugu, "Her injury is fatal, and it was all due to my will that I came here, and I saved her life with healing, but at least it is impossible to fight." It will take more than half a year of cultivation, and it is too cruel for her to insist on fighting now."
"I wouldn't do something so stupid."
Emiya Kiritsugu raised his head, did not deny that his reason for rejecting this proposal was not because of cruelty, then he asked in a cold voice: "How is the investigation going?"
Because Irisviel was taken away, as the crucial little Holy Grail, other plans were put on hold, which was why they were so free during the day and didn't go out to collect information, because they only needed to target the church.
Kotomine Kirei and Tosaka Tokiomi have a covenant, and after seeing the traces of assassins several times and the trajectory of things, this is not an undetectable secret.
Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu made a strategy.
Kill Tokiomi.
Although Kotomine Kirei is a dangerous guy, from the perspective of summoned heroic spirits and strategy, they are all support, and the real leader should be Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Kotomine Kirei, who is not a magician, has no reason to realize the fact that Irisviel is the Lesser Holy Grail so quickly, and he, who is only an assassin, cannot undertake the duty of guarding the Lesser Holy Grail.
After thinking about it, Emiya Kiritsugu realized that only Tokiomi, who is also a member of the Gosan family and a powerful hero like Karna, has this kind of confidence.
Unexpectedly, this guy was the most difficult man in this war. As a master, he really showed his magician's talent to the fullest, his tactics were flawless, and the only shortcoming was that he was not very lucky.
From this point of view, I am afraid that this guy's wish is the same as other magicians, to reach the root.
He has to get rid of this kind of guy.
"I scouted around the church, but I didn't see any trace of Kotomine Kirei," Archer added after hesitating, "But I saw Tosaka Tokiomi's back in a corner of a residential building, for To prevent Lancer from noticing, I couldn't take a closer look, but I can be sure it's him."
For Archer, the places suitable for hiding in Fuyuki City are no secrets. As a former witness, he knows many places by heart, and with the clairvoyance of the job agency, he still got the result.
However, knowing Kiritsugu's strategy, he still hesitates, is he going to kill Rin's father himself?
"That's enough."
Emiya Kiritsugu was not surprised. Although the archer concept was at odds with him, he still recognized his ability.
"Tonight, I will ask Saber to hold back the other servants, so you can attack the church. The supervisor this time is Kotomine Kirei's father. As an ally, Tosaka Tokiomi cannot sit idly by. By then , you are looking for an opportunity to kill him with one arrow."
"Besides, Berserker seems to have a grudge against Tohsaka Tokiomi. If he doesn't succeed, it's okay to expose Tohsaka Tokiomi. Matou Kariya will help us deal with it. At that time, you must play it by ear."
As if to reassure Archer, Emiya Kiritsugu said in a cold voice: "Irisviel's safety is the first priority. If you find her, you can give up the attack. Do you understand?"
"I see."
Archer nodded, "It's pretty good preparation, I will obey."
After saying this, as if getting along with Emiya Kiritsugu was awkward, he took the initiative to transform into a spirit body and disappeared into the room.
"Hmph," Emiya Kiritsugu snorted coldly, the archer is indeed unreliable, he is a blunted knife with the naive intentions of the holder, he hesitated even to attack the enemy master.
Obviously Tokiomi Tosaka was just a traditional magician, no different from the thirty-seven... counting Kenneth, the thirty-eight magicians who were killed by him.
If he hadn't despicably kidnapped Irisviel, Kiritsugu would have used a more secure tactic.
He was already preparing to snipe Tokiomi Tohsaka alone tonight, and the tactics given to Archer were just to let him act as bait tomorrow.
He has already decided to kill Tohsaka Tokiomi.
But when he thought of his wife being in the opponent's hands, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't control his heart to calm down, he clenched his fists full of hatred, gritted his teeth, and let out a roar that seemed to come from hell.
"Everything is Tohsaka Tokiomi's fault!"
——
"Master, although this kind of thing may bring pleasure, it's better to eat less."
Karna was sitting at the dining table beside him, looking at the surrounding decorations, and Kotomine Kirei who was shoveling spicy mapo tofu into his mouth indifferently, was a little shocked by the other party's aura.
"It's just pleasurable, it opens up the appetite,"
He has given full play to the residual heat of his master's corpse through Master Roland's order.
Kotomine Kirei did not turn Karna into a spirit body, but sat with him at the dining table just to appreciate the other party's ignorant expression, but he did not treat Karna harshly either.
Picking up the menu on the table, Kotomine Kirei handed it to the other party.
"This Hongzhou Banquet Hall·Taishan is the most famous Chinese restaurant in Fuyuki City. I come here all the time. It's a pity not to leave some memories. Order what you want, big hero."
"If this is your order," Karna focused on scanning the words on the menu and nodded, "then order this grilled fish."
He readjusted his sitting posture, like a soldier waiting for a review.
Kotomine Kirei continued digging the mapo tofu in the bowl. Although Karna's expression didn't change at all, there seemed to be a hint of joy in his eyes. Was he happy because he was considered? This guy, Is it unexpectedly natural?
