Chapter 1194 Boring Soap Opera

The raging fire of hatred burning in his chest, the pain and entanglement of the flesh, and despair, burned all of this to ashes. For Kariya now, this is the salvation that can defeat any belief and the holy potion that can heal wounds.

The memory of not being able to take revenge in the last battle further incited Kariya's anger.

There was only one thought in his mind, that was to personally subdue Tokiomi, who took Aoi and abandoned Sakura. Now the only thing he thought about was the moment of defeating Tokiomi. Only in this way can he forget the unreachableness of the Holy Grail and the fear of failure. Only by completely turning into an automatic machine driven by anger can Matou Kariya be liberated from the bitterness in his chest. There was even a smile on the corner of his mouth. Now he didn't feel terrified even if Berserker was not around. If he could dig out Tokiomi's heart and cover his body with his blood - now nothing else matters to Kariya.

With his shoulders shaking constantly and breathing heavily like a beast, Kariya came to the door of the church, his whole body full of murderous intent. He slowly opened the door.

The soft candlelight illuminated the chapel. In contrast to the warm atmosphere, the air was frozen and stagnant, and the silence was terrifying. Kariya felt a sense of a tomb, and felt a little uncomfortable.

However, the moment he saw the back of the head of the person sitting in the front row of the believers, his whole body was immediately filled with overflowing anger.

"Tousaka, Tokiomi...!"

This call was full of murderous intent, but no one answered. Kariya interpreted this silence as the arrogant attitude of the magician, so he continued to stride forward, shortening the distance between himself and Tokiomi.

"Tokiomi, do you want to kill me? But you are too naive. Before you get the retribution you deserve, I will get up countless times..."

However, Tokiomi still turned his back to Kariya without any warning, and did not respond. Kariya slowly slowed down his pace because of anxiety and vigilance.

Could it be that a Tokiomi doll was deliberately placed there to trick Kariya? But when he got closer, whether it was the width of the shoulders, the luster of the well-groomed curly hair, or the shape of the ears that could be seen, there was no doubt that it was Tousaka Tokiomi. Kariya would never mistake the appearance of this enemy that he hated so much, because Kariya had already engraved his appearance into his mind.

After reaching within reach, Kariya stopped. Tokiomi still did not move. Kariya's heart was filled with inexplicable confusion, anxiety and hatred, and he stared at Tokiomi's back.

"Tousaka--"

Reach out.

The day before yesterday, the defensive fire blocked all his attacks. Thinking of the burning feeling, he instinctively wanted to avoid physical contact with Tokiomi.

Even so, Kariya was driven by the urge to roughly grab the neck of Tousaka Tokiomi, who was exposed only a few centimeters away in front of him-finally, his trembling fingertips touched the neck of the tie that was decorated in a chic manner.

With just a slight touch, the balance of the corpse leaning against the believers' seat was broken.

The weak limbs were like a puppet tied with strings. Tousaka Tokiomi's already cold body collapsed like a building block and rolled into Kariya's arms.

“——!”

The confusion and shock brought to Matou Kariya at that time was just like hitting a person’s head with a big iron hammer.

The corpse with a face as empty as a cicada shell and a dead look was undoubtedly the person himself, and his appearance was obviously the appearance of Tohsaka Tokiomi. At that moment, Kariya had no choice but to admit the fact that Tohsaka Tokiomi was dead.

The arrogant sneer that once looked down on him, the cold tone of pretending to be attentive and the mocking words, all the memories of Tohsaka Tokiomi filled Kariya’s mind, making his consciousness split and confused. That kind of confusion blew away all the various emotions, motives and impulses in Kariya’s heart that were entangled with Tokiomi.

“Why—why…?”

Standing there blankly holding the speechless corpse, Kariya felt that a void suddenly appeared in his heart. Kariya was very shocked by this.

This void was so big that the outline of Matou Kariya’s personality collapsed and was deformed to the point where it was unrecognizable.

It was not until then that Kariya realized his mistake, although it was too late. Because he had never thought about what he would be like without his enemy, Tohsaka Tokiomi, he felt so empty and at a loss after Tohsaka died. Perhaps because of his uncontrollable mental turmoil, Kariya no longer understood why he had to fight Tokiomi, and what he expected to participate in the Holy Grail War. All of a sudden, he could not remember these important things.

Then——

"... Kariya?"

——For the new visitor who had just entered the chapel, it was not until the nostalgic gentle voice came from behind that Kariya realized that someone had entered the chapel at that fatal moment.

Kariya turned around with a bewildered expression on his face. Why was Tohsaka Aoi standing there, and what the whole story was, he could not figure it out at all. If he thought about it seriously, he would definitely think that if no one had called Tohsaka Aoi over, she would not have appeared in this chapel at all. In addition, there was only one person who could have placed Tokiomi's body in this chapel in advance——and if he traced it further, it would not be difficult to guess the suspect who killed Tokiomi.

"Ah——wu——"

Kariya's thoughts were so confused that he could only utter some meaningless syllables, which were just the sound of his moans. He staggered back a step, and Tokiomi's body, which he was holding in his arms, fell to the floor of the chapel like a cloth bag. Aoi looked at the desolate look on her husband's body. She didn't move for a long time, just staring intently.

"Aoi...I..."

Aoi didn't say anything and slowly approached Tokiomi's body as if being sucked by a magnet. Kariya was inexplicably overwhelmed by her momentum and took a step back. After walking a few steps, he encountered an obstacle behind him. As if to judge him, standing majestically there was the altar of the chapel.

Aoi knelt on the ground and picked up Tokiomi's body. Kariya had no way to retreat and could only look at Aoi silently. Kariya couldn't understand why Aoi did that - no, he didn't want to understand. Why didn't she look at her childhood sweetheart but kept staring at Tokiomi's body? Why was her face covered in tears. Yanye didn't want to think about these reasons, so he didn't speak.

He clearly remembers the oath he once made - in order to prevent the woman he loves from crying, he would not hesitate to give up his life, so he has been fighting until now -

If that's the case, then who is the woman crying in front of him?

Just accepting the fact that she is Aoi is enough to make Kariya collapse.

She didn't look at Kariya. He simply ignored him as if he were nothing, and kept looking at her husband's body with tears in his eyes. This tragic heroine exists as an axis of rotation at the center of the world. Kariya, who was ignored by her, was as insignificant as the dust on the stage or the scratches on the painting, and his existence had no meaning. Kariya had the illusion that the place where he stood and his existence itself had been obliterated, and he felt deeply afraid of this illusion. I felt the urge to shout loudly to get her attention. However, my dry throat couldn't even squeeze out a single word.

When Aoi finally raised her eyes and looked directly at him, Kariya finally understood - sometimes ignoring is a kind of mercy. If I disappeared from this world at that time, I would be saved.

"...This is equivalent to handing the Holy Grail into the hands of the Matou family. Are you satisfied? Kariya."

Although the voice was familiar, the tone was something I had never heard before. Because she was a childhood sweetheart with a gentle nature, she had never hated or cursed anyone in front of Kariya.

"I-but, I-"

Why must she be blamed like this? Tokiomi Tosaka is the source of all evil. Everything would have gone smoothly without that man.

Why did this guy die here? This is the question that Kariya wanted to ask first.

"Why……"

But the woman didn't give Kariya a chance to speak at all and continued to ask.

"Aren't the Matou family satisfied with taking Sakura away from me? Why do they have to kill this person in front of me... Why? Why do they hate us so much?"

not understand.

Why does this woman have the same face as Aoi, use Aoi's voice, and pour out a surge of hatred and murderous intention towards Matong Kariya?

Logically speaking, Kariya saved Aoi. In order to return the future of her beloved daughter Sakura to herself. Why should she be resented instead? Who is this woman?

"It's all because of this guy, it's all his fault-"

Kariya pointed at Tokiomi's body with trembling and feeble fingers, and shouted with all his strength.

"If it weren't for that man - no one would be in misfortune. Aoi, Xiao Rin, and Sakura - all would be happy -"

"What a joke!"

The woman whose face was already as terrifying as a ghost shouted.

"What do you know! You...have never loved anyone at all!"

"--ah--"

There was a crackling sound.

The fatal cracking sound made Matou Kariya collapse.

"I have--"

the person I like.

A warm, elegant woman who is more important to him than anyone else, his only hope is that she can be happy.

He would not hesitate to lose his life for her sake. It was precisely because of this thought that Kariya had been enduring the pain that was worse than life until now. Be patient, be patient with all your might, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient. Therefore, he will never allow anyone to use poor excuses to deny his efforts. For whom on earth am I enduring such pain that is worse than death? In this case, I might as well just die. Lie, lie, lie, I do have someone I like, I do have—

"I have someone I like……"

Kariya said in a voice that sounded like a rolling machine, while using more force with his hands.

To negate all her words. To deny her words again. To make that mouth compare. So the throat that makes the sound must be tightened tightly.

The woman kept opening and closing her mouth to get oxygen. She looked like a fish just caught from the pond. Even so, she still looked like she was scolding Kariya, which angered Kariya even more.

She had to be silenced, everything had to end. Everything up until today has been meaningless. This cannot be allowed to happen.

At this point, going crazy was the only way to save Matou Kariya, and the last barrier to his redemption. Despite this, he still didn’t grasp this minimum redemption at the last moment—the woman’s pale, breathless appearance was too similar to the face of his favorite treasured in his heart. No, that was her, Kariya finally realized.

“…Ah.”

Aoi’s throat was relieved by the slipping of Kariya’s hands that fell weakly.

She fell to the floor all of a sudden, and did not move after fainting. Kariya had even lost the calmness to judge whether she was still alive. In his eyes, she was just a corpse like Tokiomi.

“Ah, ah…”

Only now did he begin to stare at the hands that had just strangled Aoi’s neck. These ten fingers had just strangled something that was more important to him than anything else, and was the meaning of his entire existence. They looked as stiff as someone else’s hands, but there was no doubt that it was his own hands that could not be concealed.

It was just like a bug. The two hands that kept shaking were very similar to the floating bugs that crawled over Sakura’s skin.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…!”

He began to scratch his festering face.

He desperately grabbed his dry hair with his hands.

Whether the sound bursting out of his throat was a scream or pain, he couldn’t even tell that.

Having lost the last bit of rationality, Kariya now had only the instinct to escape like a wild animal, and he staggered out of the chapel.

The dark night sky without a single star welcomed this man who had nothing left.

The chapel of the Fuyuki Church has a secret that only the priests know.

The wall connecting the chapel and the chapel room inside actually did not serve as a partition at all. Everything and every sound that happened in the chapel could be seen clearly through the chapel room.

So Kotomine Kirei sat in a chair in the chapel room in a very comfortable posture, and watched the tragedy played out in the chapel from beginning to end, and did not miss any details.

Seeing his thoughtful profile, the golden Servant standing beside him asked.

"Although this is a boring soap opera, it's pretty good for my first script - how about it, Kirei? What do you think?"

"..."

Kirei looked up at the sky silently and took a sip of wine from the glass in his hand.

This feeling is incredible. Although the plot is roughly the same as what he described, this time it is reproduced by flesh and blood people.
