Stray Chapter 44: Kotomine Kirei is the threadbare
"Speaking of which, shouldn't I be thankful for Emiya's reward, I just received Saber and Irisviel, and now I have another score and crystallization, I'm really sorry..."
Xia Ran took a careful look at the prompt about the space, based on the information fragments revealed from it, roughly made such a judgment, and couldn't help showing a sighed expression.
"Well, although it is mainly because of me that Kenneth was killed by Emiya Kiritsugu in advance, but from an objective point of view, it can be regarded as changing the fate of this group?"
He certainly didn't feel sorry for Kenneth's misfortune, which was actually pretty good.
After all, in the original plot, the magician who suffered a mid-life crisis, including hairline and hat color problems, had a more tragic fate.
Not only was he directly hit by Emiya Kiritsugu's origin bullet, and his meridians were shaken to pieces, he was abolished and practiced hard for 20 to 30 years. At the same time, he accepted the superb skills that were passed down through the ninth generation of ancestors. , directly from a first-class expert in the arena to a paraplegic who is not as good as a waste house.
Since it is paralyzed, it is naturally impossible to continue participating in the Holy Grail War. But his fiancée Sora had a conflict with him, and finally threatened to break his fingers, who was paralyzed and unable to move, thus taking Laner's Command Spell.
If it was on a continent where vindictiveness had proliferated to its peak, perhaps Kenneth would angrily start the protagonist route because of his fiancee's betrayal, and go all the way to the grand goal of unifying the universe...
After all, his character template is really inexplicable.
He used to be a genius of the family, but now he was tragically plotted and turned into a wreck, and then he was slapped mercilessly in the face by his fiancee. Although he did not break off the marriage in public, he was obviously ready to fly away with his servant. ...
It's a pity that this world doesn't have the vindictive aura that thrives at its peak, and some are just gorgeous magic tricks, and Professor Kenneth has reached the age where he needs to worry about the hairline, and he is no longer young.
The routine of "Don't bully the poor" doesn't suit him anymore.
Facts have indeed proved that he has not been able to follow the branch line of "Don't bully the poor in the middle-aged" and "Don't bully the poor in the old". Instead, he went straight to the "be" line "death is the greatest".
After finally getting into a wheelchair, spending a lot of money to obtain a magical prosthetic limb, and recovering a certain degree of mobility, Emiya Kiritsugu, who turned him into a crippled man, set his sights on him again, and designed to force him to use a Command Spell Order the laner to commit suicide, saying that he won't hurt him by doing so.
After Kenneth did as he did, Emiya Kiritsugu did not hurt him, but just let Kuu Maiya kill Kenneth and his wife...
Is it better than this fate? Emiya Kiritsugu no longer aims to exclude dissidents, and naturally he will not think of directly letting Laner commit suicide and help Xia Ran further pave the way.
Siege really must re-qualify to participate in the Holy Grail War and win the final victory. Laner is his only option at the moment... and in order to control the gunman, he can't kill Kenneth and Sora.
It's like saber because of Irisviel, and Feng Xiaran, who has endured humiliation, is the new master. The premise is that Irisviel is not hurt.
Inspecting her current causal crystal, Xia Ran smoothly synthesized it into a B-level causal crystal. In this way, the predetermined task index has been completed by one-third.
It can be said that he has mastered one-third of the "Yanhui". Considering that this magic sword skill is a "skill" that reaches the height of magic, it means that he has come into contact with one-third of the magic field. , rounding is a magician.
It's really exciting to think about it like this...
He sighed with no interest, and began to struggle with how to get the next two B-grade crystals.
Actually, if you really want to get it quickly, it is not impossible. For example, if you directly kill Kotomine Kirei, this perverted priest has always been on his hunting list.
Because the main storyline affected by this perverted priest is related to Tokiomi Tosaka, Gilgamesh, Emiya Kiritsugu, Tohsaka Rin, Tohsaka Aoi, Matou Kariya...etc. , a series of characters.
For example, after killing Kotomine Kirei, Tohsaka Tokiomi might not have been stabbed in the back, and Gilgamesh had not been able to change to a master, and he would not have been able to use the church's orphanage to eat children until ten years later. Rin Tohsaka will not be appointed guardian either...
Tohsaka Aoi would not have misunderstood that it was Matou Kariya's killer because of Tohsaka Tokiomi's death, so she spoke ill of him and cursed him fiercely. The man who gave Sakura's mother and daughter everything was stimulated to be insane, and finally accidentally pinched her into a vegetative state...
If you think about it this way, Kotomine Kirei is really a very crucial character in the plot, like the thread ends in a mess of threads. As long as the priest is solved, it seems that many problems can be solved easily.
For such a person, it is estimated that Xia Ran will be able to directly obtain at least one A-level karma crystal when he kills him, and then... he will be sent back in an instant, leaving the mission world, and it is impossible to learn the sword from Sasaki Kojiro. skills.
And even if you really want to attack that priest, you must have a long-term plan. At least you can't just kill the church like this and kill Kotomine Kirei directly. After all, the power of the church is not easy to mess with.
The Church of the Holy Church is a huge organization, one of the two major forces on the mysterious side of the world, and its influence spreads all over the world centered on the Western European circle.
It's just that different from ordinary churches, it is a large armed organization established for the purpose of "hunting heretics". They do not recognize all heresies other than demons, and absolutely do not recognize existences that are contrary to the teachings.
Although at the end of the **** struggle, in modern times, the Church of the Holy Spirit finally established a harmonious relationship with the Magic Association, but the unknown private fight has never stopped.
If the Magic Association is a mixed family of fellow practitioners who only take "reaching the root" as their absolute goal, they often have their own plans, calculating each other, and distrusting each other... Then the Church of the Holy Church is a group of compatriots with the same ideology, They are united by the unique bond of "faith".
This is their "power as an organization".
If there is a plausible reason for a dignified duel and killing Kotomine Kirei, then it's okay to say. Just like before, Kotomine Kirei participated in the Holy Grail War as a Master.
Then this means that they are actively involved in the battle of magicians. No one can expect magicians to take care of a contestant from the church while they are fighting each other. Even if Kotomine Kirei is killed, the church will not can say something.
But now it is different. Kotomine Kirei's Hundred Faces Hassan has already been killed by Xia Ran's map cannon in the battle of Seaside Park, and the priest has clearly withdrawn from the Holy Grail War.
If you still take the initiative to rush into the church at this time to kill him...
It's not that Xia Ran can't do it, there is no difficulty in this matter at all, but since he has already planned the future, he puts the hope of harvesting the third magic on his plan to return to this world again in the future.
Naturally, it is impossible to cause any trouble to the future self, and attract pressure from the church. If there are agencies such as agents, heretic interrogation knights, burial agencies, etc., it will really be a headache...
After all, Fuyuki City is already chaotic enough. It can be said that there are all kinds of messes, the Holy Grail of wish-fulfillment, the ritual of perforating the world, all the evil in this world... The natural gas facilities in this city are really insufferable. Started tossing.
"Maybe we have to find a suitable opportunity to do it. For example, it's like Kenneth killed Kotomine Rizheng. This can't be ostentatious, and it can't be grabbed by the tail... Well, it shouldn't work either, The fact that the old priest was killed is about his good son being held down..."
Xia Ran considered it carefully. It would be nice to hit the church directly in the face, but the consequences were also serious. He didn't want to make trouble for himself.
And if you think about it carefully, perhaps the death of the old priest Kotomine Risei in the original plot did not cause any problems. It was entirely because Kotomine Kirei was dealing with the church, so it did not attract the church. For more attention.
After all, the latter is a really distorted pervert. He can only feel "pleasure" when his relatives and loved ones are in pain and unfortunate, just like in the marriage a few years ago, he and his wife lived together married for two years.
During this marriage, Kotomine Kirei loved his wife, and his wife also worked hard to love him and was willing to help heal him. But in the end, he was still unable to obtain the happiness of normal people through his wife.
Because for Kotomine Kirei, his happiness is seeing his wife's pain, and the more his wife wants to heal him, the more he wants to see his wife's sigh. In order to prove that his husband can love others and is worth living, his wife finally committed suicide in front of him.
Kotomine Kirei is very sad about this, because he feels that "since it is all about to die, it is better to let him kill"...
Until now, when occasionally thinking of that woman, the perverted priest still feels very sad, probably because he was not able to enjoy the pleasure of killing his wife with his own hands, but he himself did not realize his own nature, also refused to admit it.
It was not until he was awakened by Gilgamesh, who was also scum in nature, that he finally accepted his own nature and began to pursue that pleasure.
He and Gilgamesh betrayed Tokiomi Tosaka. When Tokiomi Tosaka trusted him the most, he backstabbed to kill each other, enjoying the pleasure of killing those close to and trusting him...
Since he accepted his bad nature so calmly, he must have enjoyed seeing his old father die in agony in front of his eyes. He didn't have the mentality of avenging his father from the beginning.
In addition, Fuyuki City had a lot of secrets, Kotomine Kirei didn't want to cause this trouble to the church, so it should be a very simple matter to make some decorations on the death of the old priest.
How could he keep Gilgamesh's flesh secret if the church's attention was all over it? How could the noble King of Heroes be able to comfortably support the next Holy Grail War by eating children in the name of the church opening an orphanage?
