Chapter 21: Rin's Determination

The heroic king of Babylonia, that is, Gilgamesh, was an active hero around 2600 B.C., one of the initiators of the separation between gods and men, and the proudest of all kings throughout the ages.

If someone else dared to talk to him with such a height and such an attitude, he would have been killed to the scum by him with a treasure. In fact, at first, he had similar thoughts, but after seeing the veiled face, and the same red eyes, his attitude changed markedly—Gilgamesh was so proud that he almost never looked at people directly, so he didn't notice Skaha's presence until now.

This man, who was obviously from the ancient god dynasty but dressed more avant-garde than most modern people, took off his sunglasses and showed an expression that had nothing to do with pride, ridicule, and contempt for the first time.

"I thought it was a mongrel, but I didn't expect it to be a familiar face. In modern times, I haven't seen you for ten years, Queen of the Shadow Country. ”

"It's ten years for me, maybe only a moment for you, and the so-called Heroic Spirit is such a existence. ”

Skaha reached down and removed his veil, revealing a stunningly obscured face. Gilgamesh takes off her sunglasses as a sign of respect, and she can't be rude.

"It's obviously an immortal body, but it has come as a servant twice in a row, does this world make you so nostalgic?"

"Aren't you the same? You have already seen the end of the planet and humanity, why did you respond to the call twice, and specially retrieve the memory of the last time you were summoned?"

"Until the end of time, this world is the garden of this king, and this king can come and go whenever he wants. ”

"So, what motivated you to stay here?"

The two pairs of red eyes intersected, seemingly old friends catching up, but in fact they were also engaged in an invisible confrontation.

Gilgamesh retracted his expression and replied earnestly, "It is the king's responsibility. ”

"Or do you consider the Holy Grail your treasure to punish the thieves who covet it?"

This was the reason Gilgamesh had given at the King's Banquet ten years earlier, and Skaha remembered it clearly.

This is partly due to this, but more important is the king's responsibility to his courtiers. Tosaka Tokitomi is a courtier of this king, and because of this king's death, it is the king's responsibility to take care of his family and avenge his shame - what about you?"

"The responsibility of being a teacher, teaching disciples, and witnessing the growth of disciples. ”

"There is an answer in your style, but to witness the growth of your disciples...... Is that the disciple you have taken in this world? ”

Gilgamesh's eyes narrowed, and his pupils, which had also elongated into a straight line, turned to Shinji below.

"Not bad. Skaha nodded happily.

"This look...... It turned out to be you...... A clown who hid his head and tail ten years ago. ”

When he opened his eyes again, Gilgamesh's face was visibly angry, the wrinkles carved between his eyebrows making his handsome face menacing.

"And the color of the hair and eyes...... It seems that you were the last person who hid behind the mongrel named Kiri-yaya and the mad dog. ”

"Shinji—"

Skaha looked down at Zi's disciple, who looked up and smiled.

"Master, any words are superfluous, lies have no meaning to Gilgamesh, but will be despised by him. ”

"Oh, a clown with a hidden head and tail is not bad, and he has enough backbone to not disgrace your teacher. ”

The murderous aura on Gilgamesh's body did not weaken, but his expression eased slightly.

"You designed that mad dog's tactics?"

"Yes. Including lifting the madness, blocking the way, making you self-proclaimed trump card through verbal taunts, and finally using the treasure to kill you by surprise, but unfortunately I have done many deductions and still underestimated you. ”

"The depth of the king is not measurable by a clown. ”

Hearing Shinji's answer, Gilgamesh first snorted coldly and then asked.

"Shi Chen's side is also your calculation?"

"That's not true, for the sake of the relationship between the two families, I didn't deliberately target him. Originally, I wanted Lancelot to kill you and then help my uncle subdue Tosaka Tokitomi, but I didn't expect him to die with you in the end. Fortunately, the uncle is powerful enough, and he doesn't rely on the servant to fight with Tosaka Shichen until both sides are defeated. ”

"Good—you heard it all?"

As soon as Gilgamesh finished speaking, there was another figure on the wall where he was originally the only one, with a red coat, a small black skirt, knee-length stockings, and a unique double ponytail, it was Shinji's old acquaintance Rin Tosaka.

Rin was draped in a piece of cloth. From the texture on the cloth similar to the "Hades Cloak", it is not difficult to find that it is a treasure in the "King's Treasure", the original "invisible cloth" of all invisible treasures. It was through its effect that Rin was able to hide her form and sneak closer, thus hearing the conversation between the three of them.

"Are you telling the truth?"

For the first time since he was a child, Shinji saw such a complicated expression on Rin's face. Mixed with unspeakable grief, anger, disbelief, and some inexplicable grievances, Shinji, who was used to arguing with Rin, suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and subconsciously asked Shifu for help.

Skaha stretched out his hands, signaling that he couldn't do anything, and raised his eyebrows again, sending a message of self-inflicted self-inflicted information.

But it's not Shinji who counted the timekeepers and Gilgamesh back then, that's the consciousness that the participants in the Holy Grail War should have. She was referring to Shinji stopping her from speaking, when she had already discovered Rin's presence.

There is no such thing as perfect stealth in this world, and neither Shinji's cloak nor Gilgamesh's cloth can be prevented. Skaha, who sensed Rin's approach, wanted to warn her, but Shinji mistakenly thought she was worried about him and confessed directly.

It's just that Shinji forgot that he knew what he knew, how could Skaha, who had seen through the cause and effect of the world, not know?

So, Shinji said it all in front of Gilgamesh and in front of Rin.

"Answer me, Shinji Makiri, are you telling the truth?

Rin asked again, her trembling voice as if she might cry at any moment.

Things have developed to this point, what else can Shinji say?

"What I said is true, but the biggest reason for your father's defeat is himself. In a way, he is very similar to Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh looks down on Lancelot, and your father also looks down on Uncle Yanye at that time, one thinks he is a mad dog, the other thinks he is a defeated dog, a traitor who has deviated from the devil's way. In the end, he was negligent because of his arrogance and finally failed. ”

"Ah, yes, maybe that's right. ”

Rin bit her lip, her face pale, and the slightly reddened eyes overflowed not tears, but something deeper.

"However, your father's defeat was caused by you, and his death - as the head of the Tosaka family and the daughter of Tosaka's ministers, I must avenge my father's shame. Shinji Makiri, you are my enemy!"
