Chapter 455 Struggle
Clutton, who was lying soundly asleep in the luxurious hotel room, opened his eyes helplessly, sat up, looked at Artoria with a serious face in front of him, and said, "I'm not wearing any clothes."
Artoria's face froze immediately, and she turned around suddenly: "Put on my clothes quickly!"
"If you know how shy you are, don't break into a man's bedroom in the middle of the night. By the way, why are you here, Mrs. Alice?"
Clutton turned to the other side and looked at Irisviel: "You won't feel bad for Emiya Kiritsugu, right?"
"Huh, why?" Irisviel blinked, a little puzzled.
"Forget it, you don't understand. And I guess he doesn't have time to worry about such things with me now." Clutton spread his hands, the iconic tights on his body instantly transformed into shape, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and said casually: "If you think about it carefully, I'm actually the one who suffers."
Hearing the noise behind him, Artoria turned around and looked at Clutton and said seriously: "I need you to give me an explanation, as well as the positions of Creator and Emiya Kiritsugu!"
"The death of the Conqueror?" Clutton asked.
"That's right, why did you kill him?" Artoria said.
"Why not kill him, isn't he our enemy?" Clutton smiled with a relaxed tone.
"At that time, he was not an enemy, but a comrade-in-arms." Artoria said with a serious face, "I can't accept attacking my comrades on the battlefield! I feel like I can't accept it. I died in the battle because of the plan I participated in." among!"
"Stupid King." Clutton shook his head, with an expression of "you are too young": "You have to make it clear that you and them joined forces to kill me and Emiya Kiritsugu. It was not your comrade in arms from the beginning.
Could it be that because of the Sea Demon, you have forgotten your original purpose? "
"I haven't forgotten that at the beginning, it was to make you and Emiya Kiritsugu fake death so that you would no longer be hunted down, but you didn't say you wanted to kill him. Using such a shameless plan to kill a real warrior already violated the law. My way of chivalry!" Arturia is obviously a person who accepts death.
"Besides, if we hadn't made that request, he wouldn't have trapped the sea monster in the barrier and wouldn't have died. So, I would think that I was the real murderer who killed him!"
With Arturia's upright personality, it was obvious that she couldn't accept the death of the King of Conquerors—it was because of her death.
"You can think of me as the murderer." Clutton said indifferently, and he did not intend to persuade the stubborn knight king, and said lazily: "Although, the murderer is me. After all, it is indeed me who is in the enchantment." Kill him. Use this."
As he said that, Clutton raised his fist, and a killing intent appeared in his eyes.
"You..." Arturia took a step forward, and the clothes on her body began to change, from the original black suit to the armor.
"Saber!"
At this time, Irisviel who was standing next to her stood in front of Artoria, and she followed to prevent the two from conflicting. Irisviel was naive but not stupid, and when Artoria looked for Clutton angrily, she knew that something was not right.
"Well--"
Stared at by Irisviel's stern eyes, Arturia was stunned for a moment, and the aura rising from her body dissipated immediately, and she bowed slightly and said, "Sorry, I was rude."
Clutton smiled and did not speak. His eyes swept over Arturia. The indescribable gaze made Artoria's body tense up, and he almost entered the fighting state directly.
This was her intuition and instinct as a warrior, as if she had encountered an extremely dangerous animal.
Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a second and then disappeared. She saw Clutton wave his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, girls are always privileged to be good-looking. Besides, I am quite I like Saber. Before, you were one of my wives.”
As he said that, Clutton also extended a thumb with a meaningful smile on his face.
Arturia didn't speak and didn't pay attention to Kraton's words that seemed to be teasing!
Her attention is no longer on him, but in her own reflection!
Indeed, she was a bit unreasonable in this sudden questioning of the teacher. But it is precisely because what happened is completely inconsistent with the chivalry she believes in and her own code of conduct.
From Arturia's point of view, to win the Holy Grail War with dignity—it was like fighting in a ring. And Clutton in front of him, the mysterious Creator, and Emiya Kiritsugu. For them, as long as they can win in the end, any means are trivial, or it can be described as unscrupulous.
Are they wrong?
Arturia asked herself, they did not make mistakes, but their methods were not so open and aboveboard.
Is it wrong?
Arturia also didn't feel that the chivalry she had practiced for a long time was wrong.
The wrong thing is the Holy Grail War, this world!
Of course, Arturia is not a middle school girl, so she would think so simply and rudely. Although she was a little confused, it was impossible for her to think that it was the world that was wrong, but deep in her heart, she thought that this was a heavy shackle that a king must bear and a difficulty to face.
"Mr. Clutton! You are so serious, how can you say these words to provoke Saber?" After finishing Artoria, Irisviel began to have a half-educating conversation with Clutton.
"Yes, yes." Clutton replied without sincerity, and said suddenly, "Madam, do you feel any discomfort now?"
"Huh?" Irisviel was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I'm fine now."
"That's good. If you have any discomfort, it's best to go to the Creator." Clutton nodded, looked at Artoria and said, "Speaking of which, there may be another heroic spirit ending tonight. If you have time, now Instead, you can go to that lucky guy, maybe you can see him for the last time."
"Lucky E?" Arturia looked puzzled, obviously unable to keep up with Clutton's flying, unconstrained and completely unpredictable thinking.
Clutton said with a smile: "My hometown often says: Since ancient times, the spearman is lucky, and that spearman is called Diarmuid?"
Arturia seemed to understand what Su Mo was saying, turned around and left the room.
Irisviel wanted to catch up, but just before she took two steps, her legs gave way and she fell directly on the soft carpet. After such a delay, Artoria had already disappeared from her sight.
"Have the symptoms started to appear..." Clutton thought to himself, walked up to Irisviel, and stretched out a hand.
Irisviel grabbed Clutton's hand, stood up with his strength, looked at the direction Artoria left with some worry, and said, "Nothing will happen to Saber, right? You just said Kiritsugu Tonight's mission? Will they..."
"The Dumb King won't betray, even if she doesn't agree with Emiya Kiritsugu's ideas, at most she'll have a fight—no, Emiya Kiritsugu probably doesn't even have the interest in arguing with her, even if there's a big problem, Creator It will be resolved." Clutton supported Irisviel and sat on the side of the bed: "You should worry about yourself."
"What do I have?" Irisviel looked at Clutton with flickering eyes, and said obviously insincerely.
"The assassin is dead, the magician is dead, the cavalry is dead, and the spearman won't survive the night." Clutton smiled and said bluntly, "As the Holy Grail, how much time do you have left?"
Irisviel's eyes widened. As the artificial human of the Einzbern family, she is the Holy Grail. She never told anyone else about this. The only ones who knew were members of Emiya Kiritsugu and the Einzbern family.
How did this strange heroic spirit in front of him know?
"Speaking of which, Emiya Kiritsugu is also a tragic man. Back then he personally killed his master, and what he is doing now is tantamount to killing his wife bit by bit. This is basically a crime against the lone star of the god of evil, and he is destined to die alone. .” Clutton sat on the chair in the room and said in a low tone.
"Kiritsugu...he is obviously a very gentle person." Irisviel sighed, showing a distressing smile, "He has paid too much for that dream."
"It's really hard." Clutton agreed without sincerity: "But, I don't agree."
He remembered that the final outcome of this Holy Grail War was still a tragedy. The Holy Grail failed to fulfill Emiya Kiritsugu's wish. It caused the fire in Fuyuki City.
In the end, Emiya Kiritsugu took a surviving little boy as his spiritual support, and lived for a few more years. Later, that child participated in the Holy Grail War... In short, it was a continuous tragedy. It has been pitted generation after generation - just for a so-called root.
Clutton chatted a few more words casually, and Irisviel couldn't figure out why he knew some relatively secret things, and she was obviously more wary of Clutton.
Artoria came back in the early morning of the second day and told Clutton with a tired look on her face.
Lancer is dead.
His attitude towards Clutton was much better, probably with Emiya Kiritsugu as a more ruthless guy and a Creator who only cares about playing heartless and heartless, immediately raised Kraton's image.
Compared to Emiya Kiritsugu's act of asking Kenneth to directly order the spearman to commit suicide, Clutton killed the King of Conquerors within the opponent's barrier anyway. Thinking about it carefully, it was actually a fair fight.
"Really?" Clutton answered with a stuffed mouth while eating breakfast, leaving Artoria speechless for a while.
Anyway, someone died, can't you be a little sad?
"By the way, didn't you fall in love with that guy?" Clutton swallowed his last mouthful of food, and suddenly raised his head and asked.
"How is that possible." The expected flustered blushing scene did not appear, and Clutton was quite disappointed to watch Artoria explain his feelings for that lucky E man in a serious manner—such as the relationship between two upright knights. The feeling of cherishing the past, in short, is not the love between men and women.
"In other words, I remember that she seemed to be the son of Emiya Kiritsugu in the end... She likes old cows to eat young grass, even though she looks very tender." Klatton suddenly remembered, and the gaze he looked at Artoria suddenly became subtle up.
Artoria, who couldn't bear such gazes, hurriedly left the room and went to find Irisviel.
It's another day.
After Konoha Sakuya and Emiya Kiritsugu executed the poor Lancer according to the original plot, they stayed at home for a few days.
It's a boring day.
"Would you like to watch Emiya Kiritsugu practice his Heroic Legion?"
Muhua Sakuya Shin, who always wanted to find something to do (play), took the elevator and was about to leave the hotel.
Thinking in his mind whether to let Emiya Kiritsugu and his army of heroic spirits end this Holy Grail War early with an absolutely violent attitude, or wait for the plot to develop slowly and let those guys continue to kill each other for a while, or She plays another game.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Muhua Sakuya Xin saw a man with a mustache, wearing a red suit, and holding a cane. He appeared in front of his eyes.
"Tohsaka Tokiomi?" Konomine Sakuya was taken aback for a moment, "Why did he appear here? Hasn't this guy been killed by Kotomine Kirei?"
Regarding the memory of Tohsaka Tokiomi, Shin Konoha Sakuya, who was sealed as an ordinary person, remembers a little bit——
In the original book, he gave his loli daughter to that perverted old man Matou Zouken, and was later killed by Kotomine Kirei, which is also a tragedy.
Thinking about it carefully, this Holy Grail War is a tragedy for almost everyone.
This Fuyuki City is simply a huge coffee table!
Seeing the girl in front of him standing in the middle of the elevator door, seemingly not moving, Tosaka Tokiomi frowned slightly.
"This gentleman..." Muhua Sakuya showed a strange smile on his face, turned his body slightly to one side, gave way to the space, and said, "Do you know? There is a death star shining on your head."
"What?" Tohsaka Tokiomi took a look at Konoha Sakuya Shinobu, and felt that the girl seemed familiar, but because he didn't feel the magic power from the girl, he didn't care, and said casually: "Who gave this sentence?" For you?"
"There really are death omens, don't you believe me?" Muhua Sakuya didn't care about Tohsaka Tokiomi's look of contempt, stepped out of the elevator, and reminded her before the elevator door closed.
"Hmph! A playboy!" Tosaka Tokiomi responded when the elevator door slowly closed, watching the face outside the elevator become his own because of the closing of the elevator door.
"This girl, why do I feel a little familiar." Tokiomi Tosaka thought to himself, this familiarity does not refer to a certain appearance, but a special feeling.
For a while, he didn't expect that it was the unknown female hero who had the best way to appear on the stage. After all, it was too far behind in terms of clothing, temperament and magic power.
Tohsaka Tokiomi came here with only one purpose, which was to form an alliance with Irisviel. As for the hidden purpose, it was unknown to outsiders.
After meeting Tokiomi, Irisviel directly asked Kotomine Kirei to withdraw from the Holy Grail War, so Tokiomi called Kotomine Kirei again, and the three of them sat down and talked for a while. After reaching a consensus, Tokiomi Omi and Kotomine Kirei left.
On the sofa in the hotel lobby, Muhua Sakuya looked at the backs of the two leaving, clicked his tongue twice, and said disdainfully: "Some human beings are destined to not live long."
Kotomine Kirei seemed to have noticed something, turned around abruptly, looked at Konohana Sakuya Shinobu who was leaning on the sofa, and frowned.
"Kirei, what's the matter?" Tokiomi Tosaka stopped in his footsteps, feeling a little strange about the disciple's sudden actions. Could there be an enemy appearing nearby?
Tohsaka Tokiomi is a relatively pure magician and has not learned any martial arts, so he is naturally less sensitive to things like "breath" and "gaze" than his disciples.
"It's nothing." Kotomine Kirei stared at Konohana Sakuya Shin for a while, then suppressed the doubts in his heart and said.
"This girl...do you know her? I saw her just now, and she said that I have a death star on my head." Following Kotomine Kirei's gaze, Tohsaka Tokiomi saw Kihana Saki sitting on the sofa Ye Xin couldn't help asking.
This person, who can attract the attention of his disciples, does not seem to be an ordinary person? Or was Kotomine Kirei noticing it just because he was staring at them.
Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at Konohana Sakuya Shin, but didn't notice the slight change in the expression on his disciple's face.
"It's nothing, it's just that she has been staring at us, probably a girl with a lot of curiosity." Kotomine Kirei and Tosaka Tokiomi came to the same conclusion, but the reasons for it were completely different.
"Then let's go." Tokiomi Tohsaka turned and left.
Looking at the back of his master leaving, Kotomine Kirei's eyes became a little strange, and finally turned into a touch of hidden tyranny and weirdness, which flickered a few times and then disappeared.
Watching the two leave, Muhua Sakuya also stood up from the sofa and took the elevator again, but came to the underground parking lot of the hotel. After a while, a silver-white off-road vehicle drove out of the underground parking lot. out.
That's right, this is a new car bought by Konoka Sakuya Shinko with Emiya Kiritsugu's money, and the other car was disposed of by Emiya Kiritsugu after it had been exposed.
But if you want to come and go in Fuyuki City, you must have a means of transportation. She flies around by herself, how unstyled.
Anyway, compared to the yacht that Emiya Kiritsugu bought, the money spent on this car is considered a small amount of money. The Einzbern family did not express any dissatisfaction with the two people's spending of money like water. Maybe they are really rich, or maybe they are already numb.
Driving the car to the nursing home, Konoha Sakuya Xin first played with Matou Sakura for a day, and then watched Emiya Kiritsugu's military training for a while.
When night fell, Muhua Sakuyaxin drove to the vicinity of Tohsaka's manor, opened the door, and then directly turned into a shadow, sneaking into it silently.
Those magic circles that prevent intruders can't prevent the shadows, the infiltration process was extremely smooth, and it didn't take long to enjoy the scene of Kotomine Kirei stabbing Tohsaka Tokiomi to death with a single knife, the movements were neat and extremely simple.
After killing his master, Kotomine Kirei finally realized that he was a real pervert!
The priest who has awakened the attributes of the body, by the way, concluded a contract with Jin Xingxuan and became his new master.
