Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"Don't move! Or my next shot will be aimed at your head!"

Dressed in all black like Kiritsugu Emiya, holding a sniper rifle, and sporting short black hair, Maiya Hisayu stood not far away, staring intently at [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu].

She fired first, and the bullet hit the submachine gun in Kiritsugu's hand, causing the gun to deflect and thus diverting the bullet fired after Kiritsugu pulled the trigger, saving Kiritsugu's life.

"Maimi, are you going to stop me? Stop me from killing this piece of trash?"

【Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu】 looked at Hisamu Maiya and asked softly.

Mai looked at [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] and gritted her teeth.

“I’m sorry, Kiritsugu, I can’t let you kill him.”

Although she wasn't a magus by family lineage, having followed Kiritsugu Emiya for so many years, Maiya had learned some magic and knew about the Holy Grail War. She naturally understood the identity of the [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] before her.

This filled her with a dilemma: one was the future Kiritsugu, and the other was the present Kiritsugu. It was a matter between Kiritsugu, but as someone who considered herself a part of Emiya Kiritsugu, she had to intervene and stop it.

Even if you die because of him in the near future, will you still stop me?

Kiritsugu, the Heroic Spirit, raises another question.

Maimi took a deep breath and then shook her head.

"Feel sorry."

After being rescued from the battlefield by Kiritsugu Emiya when she was young, she considered herself a part of him. This was because she had been deprived of self-awareness and humanity since childhood, and she didn't even have her own name. Her current name was given to her by Kiritsugu Emiya. In her eyes, everything about her belonged to Kiritsugu Emiya, even if it meant dying for him.

"If Kiritsugu dies, there is no point in me living."

"Would you still make the same choice?"

[Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu] gave Maiya a deep look, then put away his pistol and coldly looked at Emiya Kiritsugu lying on the ground.

"For the sake of Wu Mi, I'll let you off the hook for now, you piece of trash."

"But as long as I'm here, your ridiculous plans will not succeed, and I will end this laughable Holy Grail War in my own way."

Kiritsugu walked up to Maiya, who put down her sniper rifle and looked at him.

"Thank you, Kiritsugu."

To Maiya, the future Kiritsugu is also Kiritsugu; he is willing to listen to her request, and she is genuinely happy.

"Don't worry, Maimi."

[Kiritsugu] looked at Maiya.

"This time, I won't let anything happen to you again."

After saying that, [Kiritsugu] vanished in spirit form, leaving only one sentence behind.

"This time, I will win everything!"

Maiya quickly put down her sniper rifle, went to Kiritsugu Emiya's side, and helped him up.

"Kiritsugu, how are you?"

"He may have broken a few ribs, but it's not a big problem."

Kiritsugu Emiya responded coldly, and with the help of Maiya Hisau, he endured the pain and sat up.

"However, the plan against Lancer may have to be stopped. I need to go back to Alice for treatment, and I'm not sure what he'll do next."

"I understand. I will send you back for treatment. During your treatment, I will continue to monitor you from Lancer's side."

"No, it's too dangerous for you to come out alone, and with him here, there's no need to monitor you."

"it is good."

Hisayuu Maiya helped Kiritsugu Emiya up, led him down from the building, and then drove him out of Fuyuki City to the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

In the forest outside Fuyuki City lies private land purchased by the Einzbern family hundreds of years ago. Within this forest stands a castle built by the Einzbern family that bears a striking resemblance to the residence of the German Einzbern family. This was also the Einzbern family's magic workshop and residence during their participation in the Holy Grail War.

After being sent back, Kiritsugu Emiya had no intention of coming out again for the time being. The situation just now allowed Kiritsugu Emiya to learn some information. Combining this with the information he obtained from Irisviel and Saber last night, he integrated the information about this [Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu].

First, his future self would actually kill himself. The reason he would do so is because, in his experience, he caused the death of Maiya in the Holy Grail War, and Saber was seriously injured due to a mistake in the battle, which led to the death of Irisviel. In the end, he lost the Holy Grail War.

Later, due to some kind of obsession, he became a Heroic Spirit in the future and answered the Holy Grail's call, coming to this era to participate in the Holy Grail War.

Judging from Kiritsugu's current performance, he seems to desire to change the history of this era rather than to seize the Holy Grail, because in his view, saving the world with the Holy Grail is a joke.

Why? Why would he think that? What exactly happened in this Holy Grail War? What happened to the Holy Grail, and what did he know?

With many questions in mind, Kiritsugu Emiya temporarily abandoned his external actions. Given that another version of himself might be aware of his every move, he chose to remain in the castle for the time being, waiting for the right moment to unfold.

214. Putting aside the facts, Kenneth, are you completely without fault?

Because of Kiritsugu Emiya's intervention, Kiritsugu Emiya did not destroy the building targeting the Lancer duo, and since Saber was not injured beforehand, he had no need to destroy the building.

Overall, Kenneth managed to escape the fate of having his building bombed.

But just because he escaped the fate of having his building bombed doesn't mean he can escape other fates as well.

Lancer's performance on the first day was very poor, which made Kenneth very dissatisfied with Lancer, especially since Lancer also had the passive ability of Glorious Appearance.

Diarmuid has a beauty mark under his eye, a cursed beauty mark that possesses a passive charm ability. Any woman who sees this beauty mark will be charmed by default. Those with a certain level of magic resistance or vigilance can resist this charm, but most people cannot resist it.

For example, Kenneth's fiancée, Sora.

Sora Nazelle Sofiari, daughter of the Sofiari family who have served as the head of the Conjuring Department at the Mage's Association headquarters, is from a prestigious family, just like Kenneth. She is also Kenneth's fiancée. Their marriage can be seen as a union of two of the most noble families within the Mage's Association.

However, she was not the eldest daughter, so she could not inherit the family's magic crest. Compared to Kenneth, the head of the family, her status was much lower, because in magic families, those who could not inherit the magic crest were basically abandoned.

Just like Tokiomi Tohsaka, because he had two genius daughters but only one Magic Crest, he chose to adopt Sakura Tohsaka without knowing any information about the Matou family.

In a magic family, it would be a tragedy if one was not the eldest son and also lacked talent.

Everyone in the Magic Association knew what her marriage to Kenneth meant; it was simply the Sofia family trying to win over Kenneth, this genius monarch.

Unlike other magicians, Kenneth secretly loved Sora. He could have followed the tradition of magicians and made Sora have no standing in his eyes, but Kenneth did not do so. His love for Sora was genuine.

Sora, however, was different. She was never qualified to inherit the magic crest and was used as a tool for a marriage alliance. Sora desperately wanted to break free from her fate, and with this thought in mind, she was easily charmed by Lancer's beauty mark.

Even with Li Yue's meddling, the fate of his fiancée being seduced by his own servant was unavoidable.

Kenneth also saw this. In his legend, Diarmuid bewitched his lord's fiancée because of his beauty mark. After summoning Diarmuid, he had been wary of this, but he didn't expect that no matter how much he worried, he still couldn't prevent it.

Kenneth couldn't reprimand Lancer in front of Sora because if he said anything to Lancer, Sora would immediately retort.

"This isn't Lancer's fault! Why blame him!"

"Lancer was just careless. If he were serious, he would definitely defeat all the enemies."

"Lancer did lose in the first battle, but putting the facts aside, Kenneth, aren't you completely without fault?"

With every word Sora spoke, Kenneth's anger swelled, but he had no way to vent it on Sora.

He knew that Sora's condition was due to the charm, but he did nothing about it. In his view, this was a side effect of summoning Lancer. Sora still loved him. Once these seven days were over, the Holy Grail War would end, and Lancer would return to Valhalla. Then the charm would disappear, and Sora would return to her original form and stand by his side again.

So Kenneth suppressed his anger and, after dark, took Lancer out hunting again!

Last night, Lancer was a complete waste and even cost him a Command Seal. Tonight, the second night, he's determined to get his revenge.

Let these country magicians know that he, the monarch from the Clock Tower, is the real magician!

With this in mind, Kenneth went to the Einzbern family's castle.

Unfortunately, of all the information we have so far, the most direct information comes from the three starter families' magic workshops, since they are all located in their own old houses.

However, the Matou family had already been blown up. On the first day, no one knew who did it, but after the first night, everyone guessed that it was the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu who did it, because only he, the future Heroic Spirit who became a Servant, would use a bomb.

Kenneth doesn't dare to fight the Tohsaka family now. First of all, Tohsaka Tokiomi is a traditional noble magician like himself, and that Archer looks too strong. Lancer, that lousy guy, seems to be no match for him at all.

Rider's chariot had disappeared, and although he wanted to teach Waver, the disciple who stole his relic, a lesson, he couldn't find him to teach him a lesson.

Assassin is nowhere to be found, as are Caster and Berserker. The only ones we can look for next are the Saber duo from the Einzbern family.

After all, Saber is the only female Servant in this Holy Grail War, and in Kenneth's eyes, she is probably the weakest, and she didn't show much when dealing with Archer before.

Therefore, Kenneth judged that Saber was the easiest opponent to deal with, and the Einzbern family was also an easier magus to deal with than the Tohsaka family, even with Kiritsugu Emiya present!

So Kenneth, with Lancer, charged straight towards Einzbern's castle.

As the Lancers charged toward the Einzbern castle, Kiritsugu, the Heroic Spirit, reappeared.

Under the cover of night, he moved stealthily in the darkness, just like an assassin, his target also being the Einzbern family's castle.

Tonight, not only the Lancers will be heading to the Einzbern castle, but the Caster will also be there. This madman who mistook Saber for Jeanne d'Arc has captured over a dozen children as sacrifices, preparing to summon a sea monster to attack Saber.

Not only that, Kirei Kotomine would also take Assassin to the Einzbern family's territory.

With the addition of Kiritsugu, who is ostensibly a Berserker, there will be a total of 5 factions gathered on the Einzbern family's territory!

However, Li Yue was not going to find any of the Servants; he went to the Einzbern family's residence to find Kirei Kotomine.

Kirei Kotomine is an empty person, and he believes that Kiritsugu Emiya is also an empty person, so he wants to find Kiritsugu Emiya and find the meaning of his own existence in Kiritsugu Emiya.

They are even willing to pay any price for this!

In tonight's battle, the man who has been pursuing Kiritsugu Emiya will attack the Einzbern family's stronghold and fight against Maiya Hisau and the Einzberns. At that time, he will deliver his most famous scene!

215. Mapo: I can pound on a tree all day long!

Kirei Kotomine, the son of Father Risei Kotomine of the Holy Church, is an extremely empty person with no purpose or goal in life. Under his father's arrangement, he becomes Tokiomi Tohsaka's disciple and helps Tokiomi Tohsaka win the Holy Grail War by assisting him in his actions.

As Tokiomi Tohsaka's disciple, he had no desires or thoughts until he saw Kiritsugu Emiya's information.

A person who kills his own father and then his own mentor must be just like him, living a life filled with emptiness and aimlessness!

He wanted to meet such a person, to know why someone as empty-hearted as Kiritsugu Emiya participated in the Holy Grail War. Kirei Kotomine participated in the Holy Grail War to help Tokiomi Tohsaka on his father's orders, so what was Kiritsugu Emiya's reason for participating in the Holy Grail War, and what was his wish?

On the first night, he was unable to locate Kiritsugu Emiya, and in order to cover up his teacher Tokiomi Tohsaka's plan, he could not easily show himself.

But the situation was different on the second night!

Other masters and servants might not know, but as a member of the church, he was well aware that the Caster in this Holy Grail War was constantly abducting children, and that the Caster's master was also constantly killing people.

Although not many people have been killed yet, it has already violated the rules of the Holy Grail War. The Church is preparing to issue a kill order against Caster, temporarily halting the Holy Grail War until Caster is killed, but it has not been released yet.

In the original storyline, Caster's kill order was issued the very next day, but now, due to Li Yue's interference, the kill order has not yet been issued.

Before the kill order was issued, Kirei Kotomine prepared to go out and find Kiritsugu Emiya.

He was really curious about this person: why he had been alive all this time, why he had participated in the Holy Grail War, and why he had become a Heroic Spirit in the future, even responding to the Holy Grail's call and descending as a Servant.

Whether it's the current Kiritsugu Emiya or the Kiritsugu Emiya who has become a Servant, he wants to meet him and ask him what the meaning of his existence is!

"Has the battle already begun?"
