My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

Chapter 68 The next day, the surviving Assassin

[It’s really an exaggeration, Kirei. Why do you equate pleasure with sin? 】

[Because the pleasure gained from doing evil may indeed be a sin, but doing good can also make people feel happy. What is the basis for asserting that pleasure itself is an evil? 】

[The so-called joy, in other words, is the form of the soul and spirit. When we talk about pleasure, we don’t talk about ‘having’ or ‘not having’, but ‘knowing’ or ‘not knowing’. Kirei, you still don’t understand your own spiritual world. You say you have no joy in your heart, but that's actually the case. 】

[Anyway, first you should learn what entertainment is. 】

[Don’t say that, you can do this in your spare time when Tokiomi tasks you with work. Kirei, isn't it your duty to track the other five Masters? Then not only investigate the intentions or strategies of those people, but also find out their motives, and then tell them to me. Is this simple? 】

[Knowing that you have lost Assassin - who do you think is in front of you now? There are many treasures in this king’s treasure house! 】

[Didn’t I just say that? This king loves the grudges and hatreds of human beings. Now there are people here who want to reverse the laws of nature, even relying on miracles, just to realize their persistent wishes. There must be one or two interesting characters among them. At least it would be better than Tokiomi. 】

[I will still come to patronize your fine wine from now on. Although the wines here cannot be called fine wines, they are all fine wines. It would be a pity to let them go sour in a monk's wine cabinet. 】

Archer has left, the brilliance in the room has faded, and the atmosphere in Kirei's room has returned to its monotonous look.

Kirei, who had a calm expression, sat on the sofa and looked at several small props placed on the table that looked like eyeballs.

This is the treasure Gilgamesh gave him. Although it is not as powerful as Assassin, it is much more concealed than ordinary familiars. At least it can fulfill Archer's requirements.

If you think about it carefully, the people participating in this Holy Grail War, whether they are masters or servants, are all people who are desperately trying to achieve their long-cherished wishes. However, this hero king who goes his own way is not pursuing the Holy Grail, but just because he does not want to. He likes to see people fighting for treasures behind his back and causing trouble, so he joins the battle.

Among the servants gathered in Fuyuki City now, there is probably no one with a weaker reason to join the war than that heroic spirit. In this regard, Kirei was similar to him - a master who didn't know why he participated in the Holy Grail War, and who probably couldn't find anyone else besides him.

No, there must be a reason for Kirei to join the war, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why he was the second person to obtain the Command Seal after Tokiomi Tokiomi. Perhaps deep down in Kirei's heart that he didn't realize he also longed for the miracle of the Holy Grail.

But what he wants is definitely not the "pleasure" that Archer said, yes, absolutely not!

Kotomine Kirei started to pack away the wine bottles on the table, and thought of something in his mind.

The person who really knows the answer is not Archer, there should be someone else.

Emiya Kiritsugu. That man was closer than anyone to the answer Kirei was looking for. Kirei couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. Just like when he was talking to Archer just now, if he could also have a question and answer session with that man——

Of course, the positions of both sides are completely different. The relationship between these two people will not be about conversation, but about bullets and swords. But that didn't matter, Kirei just wanted to get to know Kiritsugu as a person. The life-and-death struggle that put his life on the line probably showed the man's inner world more clearly than any words.

And...the hands clearing the wine table paused slightly.

The young man who had been chasing him fiercely from the beginning, Shuo Yue.

Where did his murderous intent come from? What is it about me that attracts him?

Inexplicably, Kotomine Kirei felt that as long as he could understand the will of either of them, then——

He will find his own essence.

As for survival or destruction, this is something to consider after finding it.

The next day, early in the morning, Matou Kariya's house

After a mentally debilitating night, Sakusuki and Miyu get up in the same bed.

Shuo Yue sat up and yawned, scratched the hair that had exploded, turned around and sat by the bed to put on slippers.

——These actions are completely synchronized with Miyou.

She wears white children's slippers with bunny ears on them, and they make a cute popping sound when she walks - this is Sakura's treasure.

The two of them maintained a high degree of consistency in their movements, crossing the living room filled with books and snacks on the floor, and walked into the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, Sakuyue skillfully hooked up the small stool under the sink with his feet, passed his hands under Miyu's armpits, picked her up, and put her on the stool so that she could get enough height to look over the mirror. I saw my own face.

Filling the two cups with water and squeezing toothpaste onto the toothbrushes, one large and one small, Sakuyue handed the children's toothbrush to Miyu, and the two started brushing their teeth in sync.

"You have to brush up and down, gulu gulu gulu..."

"I got it, Onii-chan."

Looking in the mirror, it should be a very harmonious picture. Two slackers, who also looked like they were not awake, were working hard to take care of themselves.

Then Sakuyue wrung out the small towel with hot water and spread it on Miyu's face. She obediently stretched out her little hands and wiped it herself.

During this period, Sakuyue also finished his own and finished washing. Sakuyue and Miyu looked at each other as she raised her head and looked at him.

The two reached out their hands in tacit understanding——

"rock-paper-scissors."

A ritual that has been the most effective in resolving human disputes since ancient times was performed.

As a result, Miyu continued to win the championship. Shuo Yue, who admitted defeat, retracted her open palm, while Miyu smiled proudly, raised her head proudly like a princess, and declared the winner.

"Fresh milk waffles, honey roasted banana yogurt, and..."

"Sushi, sushi. By the way, I bought salmon yesterday. Bring it and bake it with sauce, Sakutsuki."

While they were talking, two more synchronized guys, one big and one small, crowded into the bathroom. Kariya, who was squinting his eyes, and Sakura, who was nodding her head and looking like she hadn't woken up. It was obvious that she didn't sleep well last night either.

The words were interrupted, and Miyu pouted dissatisfiedly. As a result, she became lighter and was carried out of the bathroom by Sakuyue.

"You want grapefruit black tea, right? I'll make it for you. I'll make it for you." Shuo Yue tickled the girl's little nose provocatively, silently suppressing her ambition of buns and fried dough sticks, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Let's go, I'll be busy later."

"Don't forget to grill the salmon with soy sauce."

"roll!"

————

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Kariya and Sakura went about their business, while Miyu and Sakuzuki walked down the stairs to the basement where several barriers were laid out.

When he opened the door, he saw figures with different appearances, their whole bodies bound by magic belts, and their faces wearing skull masks with their heads lowered, as if they were still in a coma - they looked like a human trafficker's den.
