Infinite Cute King

The clock at twelve o'clock at night slowly sounded, and Animsfia turned her head to look. It was the swing clock hanging on the wall in the living room of Tohsaka's house, exuding ancient brilliance under the moonlight.

He lowered his eyes helplessly, it was already very late, but the business seems to have not been decided yet...but...

In this atmosphere, interrupting the other party is not a wise decision.

"Rin, let me make sure first." On the side, after contemplating, Limuru calmly grabbed Rin's little hand and picked it up, then directly lifted off the pajamas that the other party had already put on, revealing her slender white arms and The looming magic engraving on it: "If your father is missing, how did you get your engraving?"

"It's...it was given to me by the fake priest, one of my father's relics." Rin's face turned a little red again when the other party suddenly grabbed her arm, but this time she calmed down a lot, probably because she was used to it. ... She looked at the engraving and said, "That pendant is also a fake priest..."

"That is to say, Kotomine Kirei told you that this is your father's relic, right?" Rimuru concluded.

"Hey, it seems to be... I only told him this when he was young, and I have forgotten what he said in the past few years... It's just that the matter of my father's death in the Holy Grail War has always been in my heart... ...Huh?! Do you know the name of the fake priest?"

"Of course I know." Limuru sighed and sneered, "Because the other party was also a participant in the last Holy Grail War."

"Ah... That's right." Tohsaka Rin suddenly remembered something. That guy seemed to be his father's disciple, so he joined forces with his father... The most important thing is... She vaguely remembered it very clearly, the reason was—— When she was a young girl and asked the other party to bring her father back before she took refuge, the other party refused in the face of her who was naive at the time.

When she thought of this incident, she felt a little unable to forgive the other party, and even since she became independent, she never took the initiative to contact the other party.

"Then do you know that the other party is also a participant in this Holy Grail?"

"...?!!" Rin blinked, and looked at Rimuru with a dazed expression, while Rimuru looked at Animsfia and said, "Did you say that, the three royals?" The Lord doesn't care about the Holy Grail, one of them has a lot to do with the church... is it him?"

"Hmm." Animsfia smiled lightly, shrugged and spread her hands without speaking.

But Rin understood what the other party meant.

"Although he is my senior brother... I will not show mercy on this point,

Rest assured... Archer. "

"Well... I'm not worried about this. What I want to say is that since he told you that these things are relics, have you seen them? Your father's remains."

"……No."

"That's very strange." Limulu pondered for a while with doubts, and suddenly thought of the black shadow rushing towards the root before leaving, and his face became strange for a moment: "I probably... know Where is your father?"

? ! Hearing this, Rin Tohsaka raised his head abruptly and grabbed Limulu's arm with his backhand, looking at Limulu with his eyes - after the latter was silent for a while, he said softly: "Before we left, we saw a figure rush To the hole of the world."

"The... hole in the world?"

"Well, do you know the mechanism of the Holy Grail War? Rin." Limulu nodded and said lightly: "The function of the Holy Grail War is actually to forcibly drill a control in the world, so that the outside of the world, that is, the source of the magic power The influx of people can obtain infinite magic power to release magic that is comparable to miracles, so it is called the Wishing Cup."

"The root...doesn't that mean..."

"How should I put it, Rin, maybe it's not very good to say this, but I think... maybe we should congratulate him." Limuru sighed, looked at the frustrated Rin, and softly comforted him: "After all, he arrived. The root cause is the long-cherished wish of all magicians, right?"

Rimuru could feel the strength coming from his arm, which was the reason why Rin unconsciously clenched his arm. It has to be said that the strength of the other party was a bit strong...

All deformed.

Rimuru looked at her arm distressedly, but Rin, who didn't notice it at all, was silent for a moment and then suddenly said: "Then... since he has the skills to leave a magic seal, why can't he leave a will... How about a message?"

"Obviously...he can..."

"Then how are you sure he didn't stay? Rin." Rimuru suddenly asked back. While Rin was stunned, he couldn't help but think of Kotomine Kirei's appearance that seemed to be uninterested in anything. .

"The person who picked up the relics was Kotomine Kirei, and the person who told you Tohsaka Tokiomi's death was also Kotomine Kirei—" Rimuru said flatly: "Strictly speaking, he didn't lie to you, because almost a hundred people entered the root. Ninety-nine-ninety-nine points will be assimilated, losing the self and completely becoming a part of the root."

"Just because he didn't lie to you doesn't mean he didn't hide anything from you, does it?"

"But... why did he hide it?"

"Who knows." Hearing this, Rimuru chuckled, leaned back, and said softly, "Maybe it's because Tokiomi Tohsaka abandons your mother and daughter to pursue the root cause is too much for you." cruel?"

"Impossible!!" Rin turned her head suddenly. Because she was very close to Limuru, she swung her ponytail and turned her head to retort. She almost bumped into Limuru's face, and the tip of her nose touched the tip of her nose: "He is not at all. The kind of person who cares about other people's feelings!!"

If the other party cared about this, the other party would not have refused so cruelly the request she made when she took refuge!

"Yeah, he's not that kind of person." Rimuru quietly looked into the eyes of the other party who was close at hand, and smiled softly. At this time, Rin finally realized that something was wrong and realized that he Still holding on to the other person's arm, his whole face turned red like an apple, and he quickly let go of his hand to distance himself from him. After a moment of embarrassment, he stood up and went out angrily: "I'm going to ask him——"

"Rin, you might just make him happy by going there now."

"...?" Rin turned her head, the blush on her face hadn't dissipated, she looked at Rimuru suspiciously, and the other party finally explained: "I have dealt with Kotomine Kirei, and from what I understand If so, he is the kind of..."

"A person who will feel happy because of other people's misfortune." Limulu stood up slowly, and said lightly: "It is human nature to gloat, but the reason why people are human is that reason can suppress nature, and inner fulfillment can also suppress it." Give people more important goals."

"But Kotomine Kirei doesn't. He doesn't have a goal, let alone something he cares about. His essence is more like a mass of nothingness. When his heart is extremely empty, because he has nothing to pursue, then he can only take second place. Pursuing nature, right?"

"So, in my opinion, the reason why the other party did this is very simple." Limuru walked in front of Rin, looked at her and said, "If I tell you the truth, then you will definitely understand and feel sincerely for my father." Are you happy?"

"Maybe you will be dissatisfied with your father for abandoning your mother and daughter, but in the final analysis, he has completed his own tracing of the source. I think you will not deny it, and you will not feel pain because of it, and you will not bear the responsibility of the Holy Grail War because of it." Responsibilities, and suffer through these ten years?"

"Rin." Limuru pondered for a moment and said, "Although it's cruel, I still think... Maybe he just wants you to suffer to satisfy his disgusting habit."

"..." Rin doesn't know how many times he has lost control of his emotions tonight. Every time Limuru speaks, it seems to make her fall into a state of confusion, which is cruel and... makes people feel so realistic , She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, faced Limuru's eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I want to confront him...Archer...I..."

"I know, I don't object to this." Limuru slowly dissipated into spirit particles and appeared beside Rin. At the same time, when the warm voice came, he also handed over the red windbreaker. After putting it on silently, Rin tightened the windbreaker, and said with a complex look like Limulu: "Thank you."

Rimuru has already reminded her that Kotomine Kirei is also the Master now, and if she visits late at night, there might be a fight... This is not good news for Rimuru.

But no matter what, she should figure this out, after all... no matter how much she hates the fake priest, he is also her senior brother...

On the other side, Animsfia is a little uneasy, hey, hey... I am here to accompany you to watch the ethics drama for a long time, isn't it just to get an answer? !

As a result, you are ready to leave now? !

That's disrespectful to customers, you bastard? !

"Hey... have you guys forgotten something?" Animsfia smiled, trying to manage his expression to look kind, but it still revealed a hint of danger. At this time, Rin remembered that the other party It seems to be for... an alliance?

"Archer..." Thinking of this, Rin looked at Limuru as if asking for help, "What do you think..."

"From my point of view, I naturally hope to form an alliance." Limulu smiled lightly: "After all, you also know that I have abandoned the Holy Grail, and I don't care about the Holy Grail itself. But I hope you can make your own judgment, don't Influenced by me, don't care if he is my colleague or not, because at least for me as a servant, the Master is much more important than my colleagues."

"...Okay, then I agree." After thinking for a while, Tohsaka Rin decided to agree, because Archer just decided to take risks for her again, which made her feel that Archer can't always let him do it for her Give, even if it is natural for the other party to pay for the master.

Although the reason for making this decision was still because of Limuru, but after she finished speaking, she still turned her head to the other side awkwardly: "But I'm not because of you! Archer!"

"Well, that's good." Limuru chuckled, and instead of poking at the other party, he turned to Animsfia and asked, "Since we are partners, do we want to act together?"

"Why, with your ability, are you still so afraid of a guy from the church?"

Naturally, Animsfia would not think that the other party let him go with him because of the relationship of a friend. The relationship between the two has not yet reached that point. Although there is mutual affection, a partner is a partner, and the closer the distance is, the better. Well, at least from his point of view, Tohsaka Rin obviously still has a lot of questions hidden in his stomach. At this time, the two people who trust each other are what Rin wants to be alone, but Rimuru took the risk of not understanding her mind and invited He went together, apparently because he valued his combat power.

On the side, Tohsaka Rin walked to the door and put on his shoes while listening to the exchange between the two.

She was indeed a little puzzled as to why Limuru invited the other party to go with her, but if it was Limuru's decision, then it should make sense, right?

"Because it's not as simple as having more than one servant around that guy." Limulu smiled lightly, "I still know something about the product of the last Holy Grail War."

Rimuru is not afraid of having Lancer and Gilgamesh as his followers, but he needs someone to protect Rin.

You must know that although Kotomine Kirei is only an agent, with the blessing of the Command Seals all over his body, he can instantly strengthen his body to the peak level through the magic power of the Command Seals at any time. In other words, this guy At any time, you can let your physical fitness beat the Heroic Spirit, and you can also launch a Heroic Spirit-level attack.

With the blessing of the Command Spell, Lancer and Jin Shanshan are also very threatening. Although they can't beat him, if they recklessly target Rin...

Limulu is not without confidence, but the more insurance, the better!

"Oh? Sounds interesting... Then, I'll be with you." Animsfia lowered his eyes and said with a chuckle, "After all, since we're working together, we have to work."

...

"Ar... Limuru."

"Huh?" There were no pedestrians in the dark night, and there were only faint street lights shining on the road - it was already past the early morning, and in this small town, it was rare that the night was truly quiet.

Rin's cry sounded from beside her ears, and she stopped in front of her, and she waited abruptly until Rimuru, who was walking side by side with Animsfia, came to her side before she continued to move. After hesitantly glanced at Limuru, he asked softly, "You...why did you give up the Holy Grail in the first place?"

"Because the Holy Grail is useless to me." Limulu said naturally.

"Then...why did you participate in the last Holy Grail War?" Rin opened his eyes wide, and asked again: "Is it just...to complete the third method?"

"It's not impossible for you to understand this way." Limulu smiled helplessly. You can't say that you gave the task because of a more powerful existence, right?

But thinking of this, after he glanced at Tohsaka Rin's expectant gaze beside him, he suddenly understood something, and said with a chuckle, "I see."

"You want to ask... am I doing this because I don't want the Holy Grail to fall into the wrong hands?"

"If I remember correctly, this should be the reason Emiya Shirou participated in the Holy Grail War the day before yesterday. Why do you have such an idea? Is it because I want to give the Holy Grail to Animsfia this time?" Lim Lu looked at her with interest.

"No..." Rin blinked, sighed and said, "If my father's situation is really as you said...then I was thinking...I just joined the war in pursuit of the title of victory, It's not that it's too disrespectful of the ceremony itself."

"Lord Animsfia is for human beings, Saber is for saving his former kingdom, even Shirou Emiya is for preventing the Holy Grail from falling into the wrong hands, and only I... never think about it that much .”

"I just simply think that I should win this victory to prove something..."

"..." Limulu looked at Rin's entanglement, and suddenly shook his head and chuckled: "No, you are not alone."

"Eh?" Tohsaka Rin raised his head in astonishment, and saw Limuru gently put his hand on her shoulder, patted and said: "It's better to say...Compared with these people, you have more Maybe the appearance of the Great Emperor."

"Let's not say that I don't even care about the Holy Grail this time, as far as I know."

"The other monarch, Kenneth, also joined the battle purely for the honor of victory."

"The king of conquest is to revive himself, and the current monarch of the El-Melloi faction, Weber is just to prove himself."

"As for Gilgamesh, the oldest king, who is also your father's servant, he simply thought that the Holy Grail belonged to him, and no one else was allowed to snatch it, so he joined the battle."

"Rin, these magnificent people don't care about the existence of the Holy Grail."

"the same as you."
