Chapter 155 The Beginning of the Banquet

Emiya Kiritsugu secretly scolded Archer for being unreliable in his heart, and ran away neatly.

As the most cautious Master in this Holy Grail War, he never put himself in a dangerous situation, so when Kariya Matou arrived, only Tosaka Tokiomi's bloody corpse was left up.

He felt the rider's invitation, but he still made finding Tokiomi Tohsaka's trace the first element, because Mordred was also very easy to talk to because of his berserk last night.

Her interest in fighting and winning had always been high, but after meeting King Arthur, none of that mattered.

Even in the matter of chasing and killing Tohsaka Tokiomi, she was even more anxious than Matou Kariya, she only hoped to quickly end the Master's wish, and then go to fight Saber to the death.

The master and slave, who didn't care about the sneak attack at all, had already discussed the tactics during the day. They used Matou Kariya's bugs to search for traces a little bit, and after finding the location, they learned the lesson from Weber last time and directly released the treasure to kill Tohsaka. Tokiomi.

But unexpectedly, this process was unexpectedly fast.

Even if they rushed over immediately, they only saw the body of Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Mordred kicked Tohsaka Tokiomi's body indifferently, and said mockingly, "Look, this stupid death is quite in line with the ending that this man should have."

The girl tried her best to show that kind of indifferent arrogance, hoping that this emotion could infect Matou Kariya, she knew this man's obsession, but she couldn't hold back her face to comfort her, so she had to express it with this awkward attitude My own support for Kariya.

But Kariya Matou just half-kneeled on the ground, released a bug from his fingertips, crawled over Tokiomi's body, felt the existence of the magic seal, and retracted the bug.

"This is indeed Tosaka Tokiomi's body. From this point of view, he should have been killed by Emiya Kiritsugu."

Matou Kariya also felt that his current state was a bit strange, not resentment, unwillingness, or loss of purpose, but a kind of calm and serenity that can only be understood by people who have experienced everything.

The scene of talking with Roland at the beginning reappeared in Matou Kariya's mind. What was the key point mentioned by Roland?

By the way, find out the real goal and means.

What is Matou Kariya longing for?

Is it the death of Tohsaka Tokiomi? No, if he died yesterday, I would regret it and wish to avenge him.

I really want to pray,

It is I who have the ability and obsession to surpass and replace Tohsaka Tokiomi.

And to respond to this wish, it is enough to really defeat him once.

After that, Tosaka Tokiomi's death was like biting off the crispy shell that fell off when frying tempura. It's okay to eat it, but it doesn't matter if you don't eat it.

I have surpassed Tosaka Tokiomi, if... If I had worked a little bit harder and had more courage when I was a child, could I have elopeed with Aoi and escaped here?

This wonderful idea moved Matou Kariya a little bit. After all, the legendary Holy Grail, which is omnipotent, seems to be able to fulfill this requirement.

But soon, he smiled in relief.

In the final analysis, it's because I didn't have the confidence to bring Aoi happiness that I blamed Tokiomi, right?

Matou Kariya is just a dirty, twisted, and cowardly man, if Lord Roland hadn't intervened, he would have died with a tragic ending.

If you don't experience the awareness of change, you won't have the idea of ​​going back to the past, and even if you really go back, you just deny your current self.

In this way, the matter of arriving at the answer has been hanging there.

With the soul of Matou, it is impossible to be redeemed from the very beginning, but at least being able to say goodbye so cleanly is already a very good ending compared to that old bug.

A year of trials and torture, daily indulging in the dullness and pain of revenge, finally came to an end, Matou Kariya's body seemed to be falling apart, becoming light and light.

The magic power of the black shadow that maintained his life also began to fluctuate with the weakening of his will. This feeling of wandering like a phantom, even though he was clearly by his side, made Mordred call out with some concern.

"Master?"

"It's okay." Jian Tong Yanye stood up, showing a kind smile like a reliable uncle, "I'm just a little sleepy. I'm old, but I'm not as energetic as you young people."

"Let's go, it's time to help you realize your wish, let's go find Saber."

"oh!"

Kariya Matou dragged his dying body and left here with Mordred without any regrets.

Next, it's time to sacrifice your life for Lord Roland.

Saber jumped directly from the edge of the tall building. Although the Heroic Spirit who moved with the spirit body would be faster, relying on the strong body, Saber's speed is not inferior at all.

The air whizzed past her ears, blowing up the hem of the blue skirt, and the biting air slapped on the body under her feet without leaving any traces, and even gathered behind her in reverse, turning into a forward movement. help.

After a few breaths, Saber stepped on the flying dust and landed on the square of Tohsaka's house. Because she came here yesterday, she moved forward very quickly, and with the turbulent airflow, she landed on the ground all at once, leaving behind There was a fine crack.

Then, she saw a strange scene.

The carefree Iskandar sat cross-legged in the center, not far from him, was Roland sitting peacefully, beside him, a blue figure in a priestess costume, and farther away, in the luxurious carriage, There was also a small head poked out.

It must be the Rider's Master.

Saber thought to herself, although she was confident facing the two servants alone, but this strange atmosphere made her wonder whether she should make a move.

"—Here! Saber, come here!"

Iskandar immediately noticed Saber's arrival, and waved his hands enthusiastically like a friend who hasn't been reunited for a long time, with a smile on his face that was a bit thicker.

Roland's gaze also turned slightly, and his ruby-like pupils looked at Saber, revealing a hint of displeasure.

Although there was no malice, Saber felt a chill of being targeted just because she didn't like it, but before she could stop, Iskandar waved his hand with a smile, and hit the next door On the barrel.

"Don't be so angry, Saber, before the battle, the banquet is an important part of the heated atmosphere. Since you are also the King of Knights, you shouldn't be ignorant of this truth."

Banquet?

Although it is not clear what the rider wants to do, but in the absence of a master, Saber will not be afraid to move forward because of the intuitive chill.

Since Kiritsugu's order is to hold them back, let's wait and see what happens until there is no change.

Saber also imitated the posture of the two, approached and sat down.

"This king has been waiting for a long time, but it seems that you two are the only ones who have the courage to attend this banquet tonight."

"Then, let's begin!"

Iskandar showed a heroic smile and smashed the lid of the wine barrel next to him, announcing the beginning of the feast.
