Chapter 441: Tax Evasion at Second Sight

At the beginning of the third episode of the Sakura line, Rin comes to Shirou's house and briefly introduces him to the Holy Grail War, looking at his ignorant appearance, he is annoyed why this kind of person summons Saber and prepares to take him to the church to meet Father Yan Feng Qili.

Connecting the new town of Fuyuki City with the old city is the Dongmu Bridge, on which countless singing and crying things have happened, the most unforgettable is the figure of the King of Conquest, his horse and chariot used to gallop on this bridge, his figure is still as vague as yesterday, but that was ten years ago.

The four of them pass through the path next to the bridge and come to the entrance of the church, Saber offers to stay in front of the door to guard, Shirou and Rin come to the church, and Kiri explains to Shirou the origin, history, and significance of the Holy Grail War, and Shirou chooses to join the war.

The three of them left the church, and after crossing the bridge, they were about to separate, when a young girl suddenly appeared on the high slope, and a giant nearly three meters tall appeared by her side, this fight appeared in both the saber line and the Rin line, and when making the cherry blossom line, Wang Ming omitted this section, and turned to a picture that changed to a basement glowing with dark green fluorescence, and there were countless holes in the basement wall, which looked like arches when zoomed in, but from the door in and out, it was wriggling insects.

The tide of bugs wriggled on the ground, they were numerous, about the size of a mouse, and in this wriggling group of bugs, a large shadow compared to the bugs slowly emerged, its body was covered with bugs, that feeling, it was vomiting, the audience couldn't see the shadows clearly, this basement was too dark.

"Seven people, finally together!"

A strange sound like metal grinding sounded in the dark basement, "It's not enough, these bugs will have to be replaced at any time!"

In the next moment, a bug suddenly slipped from its body, and its eyes glowing green suddenly appeared, and slowly occupied the entire screen, "The heart defense is so strong, it seems that there are still some conditions, so let's lie dormant for a while." ”

"What was that just now? Whether it's the sound or the picture, it feels so disgusting!"

"Is it the first time you've watched Fate, and you didn't even know that this was a nest of old bugs that everyone hated. ”

"Mapo, Shichen, Dirty Inkstone, and Shinji are called Fate scum. ”

The next day, Shirou woke up from a coma, he only remembered a fight with Berserker yesterday, after which he rushed to save Saber, and forgot everything about the aftermath, but surviving was the greatest luck.

Shirou woke up early in the morning and found Saber in the empty venue, and Ber found Shirou's expression a little dazed. Shirou tells Saber that Ber's eyes turn strange, and she asks Shirou why he cares about Illya. Shirou said that she had seen the child before, and she reminded herself to summon the servant quickly or die.

"Before I met the child, I had been asked if Einzberen's daughter was well......"

Saber's face turned pale when she heard "Einzberen's daughter", and she hesitated for a while, but finally told Shirou about the incident between herself and Kiritsugu, and said that Kiri had been treated by Kiritsugu as a lifelong enemy.

Listening to Saber's words, Shirou asked in a trance what to do next, Saber sighed and forcibly took Shirou to the church, "No matter what questions you have, no matter where you go ahead, he will give you a hint." ”

Saying goodbye to Saber, Shirou walked into the church alone, but there was only a blonde man in the chapel, but there was no sign of Kiri in sight.

Hearing the door open, the blonde man looked back at Shirou, as if he had seen something interesting, and came to Shirou's side, his hand reached for Shirou's neck, this action looked extremely slow in Shirou's eyes, I don't know whether he wanted to choke his neck or pat himself on the shoulder, but there was a sticky feeling, like a locked prey.

Eventually, the blonde man's hand hovered just a few centimeters from Shirou's neck and smiled, "Wait here." ”

After the blonde man left, Shirou covered his neck with his hands, his eyes widened, and his face was filled with fear, as if he had really been choked by his hands, his expression was very painful, and he took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.

Not long after, Qili came out from behind.

"Why, it's only been half a day, are you ready to give up the spell?"

Shirou took two deep breaths, looked at the three spells on the back of his hand, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked, "Why did Kiritsugu hide from me about his participation in the Holy Grail War?"

Hearing Kiritsugu's name, a smile flashed on Qili's face: "That's really an admirable opponent!"

"But what does the honor and fame that Emiya Kiritsugu has won have to do with you?"

Seeing that the priest didn't want to say more, Shirou asked again, "I wonder if there is a connection between my election as Master and Kiritsugu?"

Qili smiled, "My disciple Rin, her father is the master of the previous generation, what is the inevitable connection between this?, but as far as I know, you are not Kiritsugu's biological son, so I don't know why you were chosen as a master to participate in the Holy Grail Holy Grail War. ”

Suddenly, Qili seemed to think of something interesting, and her expression was a little happy, "Perhaps, the Holy Grail wants to deny the Holy Grail's son of Emiya Kiritsuchi's atonement to it, or it is possible." ”

"Denying the Holy Grail? why?" Shirou asked.

"Your father came to this town for the Holy Grail, and after a contest, he obtained the Holy Grail, and in the end it was he who destroyed the Holy Grail. ”

"Why destroy the Holy Grail?"

Looking at Shirou's ignorant appearance, the corners of Qili's mouth were raised, as if she was intoxicated with pleasure. With an ominous smile, he introduced Kiritsugu, "In a word, he is a mechanical ...... who has lost his emotions"

Kiritsugu's words simply subverted the worldview that Shirou had established over the years, and he couldn't help but think of the winter five years ago, when he and his father sat in front of the room, and his young self made a promise to Kiritsugu, "Leave Daddy's dream to me!"

However, the fire that burned tens of thousands of people like hell, and the Qili who used the relatives of other masters as meat shields and did everything he could not match the impression of the father in any case, but Shirou could feel that Qili was right, these were his true feelings.

"Yan Feng, do you hate Kiritsuke?" asked Shirou in a trance.

Qili seemed to think of something good, and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Of course, he and I are two extremes, natural enemies, and we will also regard each other as natural enemies." ”

He is like a legendary saint, who has his hands covered in blood because he cannot bear to die innocent people, and his belief is to save the many and abandon the few, and he is a hopeless fool. ”

"And you, like Kiritsugu, believe in good things and are willing to be dirty, hating your own strength while using it to help the weak - both you and Kiritsugu can be called 'anti-heroes'. ”

Shirou asked confusedly, "Anti-hero?"

"A hero is born out of respect, gratitude, and guilt for others, and an antihero is born out of one's own respect, gratitude, and guilt for the world. They violate the rules of the world and want to achieve unattainable miracles on their own, they are like the sacrifice of the denial of the original sin of mankind that appears in their self-restraint, they hope to create a better world in the human imagination, but in the end they fall victim to the original sin of human pathos. ”

Qili's tone was inexplicably a little high-pitched, and even looked very pleasant.
