Stray Chapter 42: Agreement
In a room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, the tallest building in Fuyuki City.
There is something wrong with the atmosphere at the moment. To be precise, it is very unfriendly, very discordant, and it is so cold that it seems that a life-and-death showdown will break out at any time.
"Another... way? I don't quite understand..."
Emiya Kiritsugu's already ugly face became even more ugly now. After he took a few deep breaths, he seemed to not understand, and forced out a slightly pleasing and pleasing expression. The mean smile comes.
For a man like him, this must be a very unbearable thing.
Even Kuu Maiya, who was beside him, seemed to be slightly moved, and she turned her eyes slightly as if she couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
However, Kenneth did not intend to give the two of them any buffer time at all, nor did he intend to give Emiya Kiritsugu any steps to go down, but just looked at the magician killer across the table with a kind of arrogant contempt.
At this moment, it is clear that both parties are sitting opposite each other in the conference room, but he actually gives a condescending feeling, as if he is looking down at the two opposite people from above
"Playing stupid won't solve the problem. Of course, if you are really stupid, you can ask me to say it again... Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, you are no longer valuable, and naturally you are no longer qualified to be on an equal footing with me. ."
This kind of naked slap in the face is like a slap.
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't blushed all of a sudden, but his breathing suddenly became heavier, and his hands on the table instantly clenched into fists, as if the veins were about to burst out.
It's just that he suppressed his anger very rationally, and also suppressed his voice, a little bluntly emphasizing his previous views:
"Your Excellency Kenneth, I think it's necessary to reiterate to you how bad the situation is now. We shouldn't have internal strife now. We must first resolve internal conflicts before hitting the enemy..."
"Of course this is not an infighting. I said that you are not qualified to be on an equal footing with me now..."
Kenneth spoke flatly in an aristocratic tone, almost overflowing with contempt and arrogance.
"After all, there is no internal relationship, and you are not in my camp, so how can this contradiction be infighting, I just inform you of this fact..."
"You..."
"Of course I agree with you, things are really bad, my faction is at a disadvantage, it's obvious... You're emphasizing this issue again and again, don't you just want me to create an illusion that it seems Promising your conditions is the only option, but in this case, I will pay the most.”
Kenneth said with a sneer, straight to the point.
"You have no value now, and you can't even help after losing Saber, but you still want to be an equal ally and ask me to do my best to help you regain Saber and Mr. Emiya your wife? Even though I can't do anything, but I still want to enjoy it, is this too ideal?"
"But we are indeed allies, and we have already said in the contract we signed..." Emiya Kiritsugu held his breath, as if he could no longer contain his humiliation and anger.
"Not now, we are only temporary allies, and now the alliance can be dissolved..." Kenneth laughed contemptuously, "The magic contract does not say that we will maintain this relationship forever, and the way of cooperation now It's going to change..."
“…”
“…”
"Well, we're not allies anymore... Lord Kenneth, what do you want me to do."
Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuu Maiya looked at each other quickly, and confirmed certain information in each other's eyes, and then he raised his head, the expression on his face seemed to be forcing himself to calm down, and gritted his teeth He asked in a sullen voice.
"If you really thought we were worthless, you wouldn't be wasting your time with us, would you?"
Of course he can't be angry, he doesn't have the capital to be angry right now. Aber was taken away, and his wife was captured. This man who has devoted his life to justice has stepped on the edge of the abyss. Basically, it can be said that his Holy Grail War has completely failed this time. a life.
If it was in the past, Emiya Kiritsugu would probably be very happy with this result. He has nothing to lose. As long as he can continue to live, he will continue to run to save all mankind.
This man, Mish, who believes that he has a savior's duty to all mankind, will definitely do this.
But it's completely different now...
Perhaps it was really a wrong choice to accept the request of the Eincibelen family nine years ago. This man who devoted his life to the ideal and justice in his heart was unknowingly forced into this position. level.
"I want to say something smart, but unfortunately I can't, because your stupidity makes you understand how to get to the point now, wasting at least a minute of our time, Mr. Magician Killer..."
Kenneth gave a grim smile.
Emiya Kiritsugu's choice was not what he expected, no matter how angry the other party is, it is not wise to break with him here, the reason is very simple, here is him Kenneth Elmelo Archie Boulder's site.
Even if his fiancée Sora doesn't want to be involved in this kind of thing, not in the conference room, even if he doesn't want to see laner, so laner is not in this building
It seems that the relationship between the two parties has deteriorated again because of the previous Command Spell. In addition, when he came back, his fiancée Sora was extremely considerate and caring for Laner, and he asked for warmth, a kind of tenderness that he had never enjoyed himself.
The unavoidable jealousy makes Kenneth not want to see Laner at all right now, and he doesn't even want Laner to be in this building, where he can't see, and have the opportunity to spend time alone with his fiancée.
This is not persecution delusional disorder, but it has happened several times. His fiancee is always not interested in being with him, saying that he "bathed first and then went to sleep", and then when he didn't see In a blink of an eye, he ran to find the laner.
His hairline was already so dangerous, wouldn't it be worse if he dyed it greener?
This is a mid-life crisis and something Kenneth can't accept, so he simply ordered laner not to enter the building, and it's not sensible to be on guard outside, but no man can cuckold himself for seeming to be prepared people stay friendly.
As for his own safety, Kenneth didn't think there was anything to worry about. Although he was careful with Laner when he met Emiya Kiritsugu before, but that was because at that time, Emiya Kiritsugu There is also a card like saber in his hand.
But now, in front of him is an ordinary woman, as well as a heretic who can't even release magic...
Even if he is called a magician killer, Kenneth doesn't take him seriously and treats him with contempt.
After all, he is Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald. If he doesn't have such confidence, how can he live up to the name "El-Melloi"?
This kind of thinking is indeed very conceited and arrogant, but this is his usual character and concept, so it is not surprising.
Even when I came to a remote place like Fuyuki City to participate in the Holy Grail War, it was not for the Holy Grail or the pursuit of the third magic. Kenneth simply wanted to add to his experience what was rated as "martial arts". Anecdotes, this level of reason.
He doesn't think that such a small rural place has any rivals worthy of his attention. He still takes a honeymoon trip with his fiancée, and then takes the trophy of a small competition organized by such a remote place as his own. The naive idea of embellishing and then going back home to get married.
Well, it is precisely because he underestimated the initial efforts of the Yusan clan and overestimated his own ability from a big city, so he suffered repeated setbacks in his original destiny, and finally died miserably and suffocatingly. The little places he despised and the hands of the country people he despised.
After all, the perilousness of the Holy Grail War has always been particularly deadly, and no matter how careful you are, you may die. Some people plan in sixty-year time units, and there is no guarantee of absolute success.
And Kenneth didn't know anything at all, yet he was so arrogant that he felt that the small competition in the small country was just laughing and generous, and the countryman could not threaten him, the monarch from the world's magic center
Like a **** game that is not popular, cloud players outside the circle feel that games that are so niche, they have never even heard of it can be difficult, and hold "First I have never played, secondly I think it's very simple, in the end you just fight because of your food" mentality...
And then wait until the cloud players get started, of course, how miserable it is, how miserable it is, and it is normal for Kenneth to have such an ending.
It's the same now, he didn't want to specifically bully the worthless allies and show his meanness, but to use this meanness to convey a clear statement, which is to make the two people deeply recognize the reality cruel.
Already down to this point, still thinking of using him Professor Kenneth? ! It's really whimsical, it's just a poor **** who can't recognize reality.
If the other party can immediately understand his new position, show his loyalty to him from the beginning, and swear that he is willing to be Kenneth's lackey, if he can let him drive it at will, he will also show the attitude of a polite corporal to some extent Come.
At that time, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to reach a consensus?
The other party is just holding unrealistic expectations and careful thinking, constantly reiterating how bad the current situation is, and constantly asking him to do his best to help the other party get back the saber, and he never mentions what he is going to pay. The price...
Kenneth naturally lost his patience and decided to help the other person figure out his position.
I ruthlessly put forward my main condition, that is, after retaking saber, it is impossible for her to serve Emiya Kiritsugu again. On the contrary, even Emiya Kiritsugu needs to serve himself and assist him with all his strength. After claiming the final victory by himself, and forcing Emiya Kiritsugu to humiliately agree.
"...Then, let's discuss tactics now, Mr. Magician Killer, I don't care too much about your title, only an inexperienced magician will become your record."
Kenneth narrowed his eyes slightly.
"But since you can get this title, you still have some special means to deal with magicians, right? Show me now."
