Chapter 54: Angel Qili
My name is Alayah,
The golden flash tax evasion teaching has failed!

"Okay, that's it—how are you!?"
It wasn't until she ran across the Fuyuki Bridge with Emile that Rin Tosaka realized that she had pulled the wrong sister, but the Assassin girl, who had no self-awareness until recently, was obviously unable to answer the profound question of "why are you who you are?"
"Forget it, it's probably my father who sent us to protect us anyway, and you're about the same height as Sakura, so it's only natural that you'll pull the wrong person."
"No ......"
"Well, of course, it may be just the right time, but since I did, it proves that my father already knows that I'm coming, and if you have so many men, you must have assigned people to protect Sakura, right?"
“……”
"Okay, okay, you don't have to follow me, I'm going to find Sakura, remember to tell my father to let him come and pick us up early, didn't the Holy Grail War say that it would start at night? Just take us on a tour. ”
Perhaps because he had met Emile before and knew that she couldn't speak, Rin Tosaka chattered about the cause and effect and the next plan, and then turned away without waiting for the Assassin to answer.
Emir looked at the Fuyuki Bridge that had been dragged through before, and then looked at Rin, who was inexplicably moving confidently in the direction of Xindu, and his thoughts, which had become somewhat clear, fell back into confusion.
108:10:21
Emile refuses to empathize, or rather, she has agreed, but the five senses conveyed back are complete chaos.
Originally, due to the large number of Assassins, Yan Feng Qili, who was able to clearly grasp the information in Fuyuki City, felt a little uncomfortable, although the remaining "Four Heavenly Kings" also accepted the sympathy, but their detection range was far less than that of nearly eighty Assassin incarnations.
A moment ago, Makul sent a message saying that the little girl in black who was suspected of being Emir had been found, so at this moment, Qili was heading in the direction of the Fuyuki Bridge,
The group of Assassins, known as Hassan of the Hundred Faces, has confirmed that all individuals can receive the command of the Curse individually, which was confirmed by Qi Li when he arranged the misleading information that "the Assassin has been destroyed" after Kenneth entered the Tosaka Mansion.
The only thing that can't be confirmed is their true nature, whether "Amir" will accept the spell, not because of the suspicion that she has powerful magical powers
skills, rather, if the Servant can't understand the meaning of the spell, how exactly will it be executed?
Although Ryunosuke's Berserker was able to strictly enforce the orders of the spell, it was probably because he was unable to communicate simply because of [madness], and he was not completely irrational, which was completely different from Amir's situation.
Do you want to give it a try? After all, there are many more spells inherited from his father.
Perhaps Mr. Shi Chen would have thought it was a waste, but the Waiver itself had not been informed to the Teacher.
Before meeting Sakura Tosaka, Qi Li had been in a state of groping for the spell on his arm, thoughtful.
————
"Uncle Yanfeng?"
When she heard Tosaka Sakura's greeting, compared to the question of why she was here, Yan Feng Qili's heart first came up with the chagrin that she had let her guard down to such an extent.
Sure enough, this time has been too dependent on the Assassins.
Even if this daughter of Teacher Shi Chen has a very rare [imaginary number] attribute, so it is easier to be ignored than her sister who has an all-element attribute, and she should not be discovered by a little girl who has not systematically learned magic first.
"Don't call me uncle," said Minemine, who walked towards Sakura, who was standing under the Fuyugi Bridge map sign, and looked around, but didn't notice Rin Tosaka, "Just call me brother like your sister did—didn't she come along?" ”
"It's together, but she caught the wrong person when she was swept away just now." The short-haired little girl spoke softly, and although she didn't use many words, it was easy for the listener to understand.
Washed away? Qi Li looked at the river, where there were still many tourists, there were very obvious traces of magic that were dissipating, and there should have been a conflict between the servants here, but the ordinary people gathered and retreated.
If those Assassin avatars were still around—no, they couldn't continue to think in that direction, and easily incorporated a person or thing that could only exist for a short time into their "possessions" would only be more uncomfortable when they were lost.
"I'll send someone else to find her," Qi Li looked at Sakura, "Do you want to find it together or go to Teacher Shichen first?" ”
Generally speaking, children in this situation will inexplicably put the blame on themselves and take the initiative to find their lost companions, and as a result, most of them end up with the missing children from one to two, and even if they are successfully recovered, the cost of manpower and material resources will increase exponentially.
"Please take me to my father." After a little thought, Sakura Tosaka made the right choice.
It doesn't seem like it's far to get to Tosaka Mansion from here, but if you let the Assassin take her with you—why did you think of this again?
Yan Feng Qili leaned over and hugged Tosaka Sakura with a little annoyance.
Then he was shocked by his actions again, in fact, even Sakura's eyes widened when she was picked up, after all, Qili's serious image had been stereotyped in the impression of the Tosaka sisters in the short time they had been together.
Because Imir has been hugging me all the time lately, are you used to picking up children when you see them? If you are seen by your former acting colleagues, you will definitely laugh crazy.
“…… It's not safe here, we have to go back as soon as possible. With the surrogate's remarkable reflexes, she came up with a solution - she immediately turned around and ran after a casual explanation, even if Sakura was about to say anything, she couldn't speak in the wind.
————
"No, no, the battle between the Heroic Spirits is not something that can be watched casually, and you will go back as soon as you find your sister."
"Of course, I'll talk to Aoi on the phone so she doesn't have to worry so much."
"There can be no danger, victory in this war is already in our pocket."
After sending Sakura back to the Tosaka Mansion, Qi Li left their father and daughter to communicate in the study, and sat in the outer living room waiting for further instructions from the teacher.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect you to have such a side, it's so funny, Qili."
Accompanied by the shining golden light and arrogant words, it was the most ancient king that Qi Li expected, but at this moment he did not wear the shining gold armor, instead of a pure white crewneck sweater and brown slacks, the originally straight blonde hair was also draped, plus a very wide gold necklace and huge gold earrings, exuding a kind of outburst - well, the feeling of a private visit to the king's micro-service.
"What do you mean?" As soon as Qi Li asked, he found the answer - there was nothing in his arms now, but he subconsciously maintained a posture of holding something.
"I heard you have a wife and a daughter," said Gilgamesh, who had changed his appearance, did not use the word "this king" to refer to himself, and his tone of voice sounded no longer aggressive: "It seems that he will be a good father." ”
"I think you misjudged this time, the Ancient King." Qi Li didn't want to discuss that topic, so he forcibly turned the conversation back: "It's not that I'm missing Assassin, it's just that I just picked up Teacher Shi Chen's daughter back." ”
"I didn't mention the word 'missing' at all, no matter how I think about it, it should be a joke about you taking care of Shichen's daughter." The Ancient King opened the wine cabinet and took out the red wine and wine glass to fill himself, and then shook the wine glass and looked at Qi Li: "How did your mind jump there?" ”
"Because it's always been there, of course." Qili's self-defeating speech made Gilgamesh shake his glass for a moment.
"I just came back with the teacher's daughter, although they are all about the same height and weight, but the feeling is completely different from Amir," Qi Li felt that if he let the Ancient King continue, he would definitely be detoured to nowhere, so he said first, "I was worried all the way about whether I would throw her out or bump into the enemy Servant or Master because she was moving too fast." ”
"Oh?" Gilgamesh sipped the wine and motioned for Qi Li to continue.
If you follow the general idea, worrying about the safety of your master's daughter and worrying about this kind of thing is extremely normal, even if you take it out and ask a passer-by casually, you will get a positive evaluation, but the most ancient king in front of him seems to be able to see through Qi Li's heart and wait for him to continue to explain.
"I find myself bored with this," says Qili, "and I am very unhappy to have to protect a target and keep her from harm, but when I think about it, I realize that I have never had that kind of thought when I was with 'Amir'." ”
Even if the current statement is a bit peculiar, it is still within the scope of ordinary people's understanding, just like a retired special forces soldier cannot get used to the peaceful daily life, and the agent who is mainly responsible for destroying the enemy cannot adapt to the action of protecting others, and as the ontology of the Assassin, although it needs a certain amount of protection, it is far from the point where it is necessary to remain unharmed.
If it ends here, it's still an interesting story about a surrogate in the dark and a killer girl with no ego.
"But?" Gilgamesh's red eyes flashed with unusually obvious malice, and he opened his mouth to add a twist.
"Her various avatars, the nameless ordinary Assassin, can die at any time and anywhere because they are too weak, and the number of 'resets' at midnight each day is the number of times she dies in a day," Qi Li paused, "and I was so obsessed with it that I neglected the unhappiness of trying to protect her." ”
"Hehe, Qili, you finally understand what pleasure is—" "So I understand my desire for the Holy Grail. ”
Gilgamesh stopped speaking very unhappily, and his handsome face even distorted a little: "Oh? Yes, what, what? ”
"I'm afraid it's the ability to be able to see what's about to happen in anyone, including but not limited to the pain of death,'" Qi Li nodded in assurance, "and I feel very happy when I discover 'pain and misfortune that is not inflicted on me.'" ”
Click—Gilgamesh's glass cracked.
"I am happy to intervene on a case-by-case basis after learning of the other person's misfortune, whether it is to completely save it, to further it or simply to prevent it from developing to maintain the status quo."
The more Qi Li analyzed, the more he felt that it was right, the "interest" that he had never been able to find would be discovered because of the Assassin who looked like a little girl, and it was not the superficial "pleasure" of ordinary people, it seemed that he was involved in the Holy Grail War for this reason.
"So, what?" Gilgamesh's murderous aura could no longer be concealed.
"People suffer pain and misfortune because they are guilty of sin, and judging sin is one of the powers of the Lord Angel, so I can perceive and interfere with the misfortune of others—" Qi Li drew a cross on his chest, "Yes [Angel]." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light burst out from the young priest's body, illuminating the living room that had been dim by the sunset, and although it only lasted for a short moment, the expression of the Ancient King had completely shattered.
"Angels? God? Gilgamesh slammed the glass and laughed wildly, "You've surprised me far beyond my expectations, Qili!" Hehe, haha, hahahaha! ”
Even if he can't get the chance to make a wish in the end, there is an unexpected reward waiting for him in the camp of Einzbelen who participated in this battle, of course, it is not Emiya Kiritsugu and his wife who naively want to save the world, but Lin Hao, who can transfer other people's diseases to himself, with a little training, it should be possible to transfer the "misfortune" of others to himself.
Ignoring Gilgamesh, who was inexplicably furious and suddenly laughing maniacally, Qi Li began to think seriously after confirming that he had not gained any abilities due to "awakening" and was still an ordinary agent.
If Lin Hao was still alive after the Holy Grail War ended, he would contact him in the name of the Templar Church and use her ability to eliminate the misfortunes in the world to spread the glory of the Lord, and the other party would not refuse.
However, in order to prevent her from being killed by the people of the other camp or even the teacher himself, it is safer to capture her alive and put it under her own control - and he actually gave the order to capture her alive before he thought of this, it seems that the agent has a very accurate intuition.
"Huh...... Just let me see where you can go in this Holy Grail War. Gilgamesh, who had calmed down, sat back on the couch and picked up a new wine glass: "Angel Qili." ”
