Whose Xingyue looks like you?

After Zelrich left, Kayneth called out Diarmait. He might not be able to solve other things temporarily, but he could still solve the problems of his own servants.

"Lancer, you, didn't you tell me as a Servant that you would win the Holy Grail War for me?"

"Yes, Master."

"So, I want to ask you, what are you planning?"

Kenneth's already gloomy face became even gloomier, and his tone of voice was aggressive, which puzzled Diarmait.

"what do you mean?"

"Stop pretending here. I saw you chatting with that Servant at the beginning."

"Master, I..."

"Don't explain anymore. Everything is laid out before us. What else do you want to explain?"

Kenneth was so excited that he seemed to want to eat Diarmait alive. The woman named Manli beside him could not bear to watch it anymore.

"This is clearly your own fault, Lord El-Melloi. In that situation, no matter how skilled Lancer is, he can't fight against so many Servants at once."

Those who lick dogs will not have a good death, especially Kenneth.

Sora's accusation not only did not make Kenneth feel unhappy, but instead he felt that "maybe I was really wrong."

“Sora…”

The stern reproach in Sora's eyes was directed only at Kenneth, as if he was reprimanding his own subjects.

"Lancer behaved well. It's your judgment that's at fault, isn't it?"

If it were anyone else, Kenneth would have been furious, but this was Sora, a woman who would make Kenneth a lapdog until his death.

"But that's the enemy."

"He didn't intend to attack any of us at first. It was your arrogant words that made them label you as an enemy. You should have heard what Lancer said to that man, right?"

Without waiting for Kenneth to answer, Sora said excitedly:

"Lancer was once his subordinate. You insulted his subordinates in front of a king. Not killing you on the spot was already a mercy from Lancer out of loyalty to you."

Both the Archibald and Sophia families were renowned families in magic. The marriage between these two families, and moreover, the marriage between a rare genius and the daughter of the dean of a school, shocked everyone in the Clock Tower.

Even though the monarch Euripides has been killed, the Sophilia family's magic seal has been given to Sora's brother who inherited the position of head of the family, so it does not affect the Sophilia family's status in the Clock Tower at all.

Therefore, even if Kenneth was unhappy, he could only suppress it under the power behind Ai and Sora.

Sora's own magician rank wasn't high, but like her brother, she came from a family of top-tier magicians, refined through generations, possessing magic circuits far exceeding those of ordinary people.

For Sora, the marriage with the Archibald family will definitely bring super pure bloodline to the next generation of the Archibald family after she receives the genes of the "child prodigy" Kenneth.

This was essentially the glory that had been promised to Kayneth. In other words, Sora was a ruthless breeding machine—this was perfectly normal in the world of magicians.

Even a number of famous mage families believed that this was a match made in heaven, but what seemed like a match made in heaven to outsiders was a complete tragedy for Sora, the person involved.

Sora wants to live an ordinary life, and there is relatively little magician in her concept.

Therefore, she must make things difficult for Kenneth.

But for Kenneth, his heart had already been captured by Sora long before he saw her for the first time and before they even said a word.

In terms of power relations, he has long been inferior to his fiancée.

So Kenneth didn't refute any of Sora's words - even though Sora's words were in favor of the man who beat him to a cripple.

A henpecked man, a cuckold.

There is nothing wrong with applying these two words to Kenneth.

Chapter 10: What kind of people fit into your definition of "human beings"?

Not to mention the quarrel between Sora and Kenneth, Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya have already found their way to the hotel where Kenneth is staying.

Emiya Kiritsugu knew only too well that his Servant had become Bai Ming.

Although this matter was not arranged by him at all, he and the Knight King really couldn't get along.

The sudden fire interrupted the quarrel between Kenneth and Sora. After a brief analysis, the two determined that it was arson.

Kenneth spent a lot of money to rent an entire floor because he wanted to use it as a base for his activities and needed to completely renovate it.

Kenneth set up a twenty-four-layer barrier on the thirty-second floor. The strictness of the defense can be described as a magic wall. In addition, there are three magic furnaces dedicated to him and dozens of evil spirits summoned as guard dogs.

He also put a lot of effort into the traps, even transforming part of the space under the corridor into a different world.

Even if you are in enemy territory, you must first prepare and improve the workshop in your base. This is the basic quality of a magician. Magicians like Bai Ming who rush forward directly to deal physical damage are still a minority after all.

"For those who casually step into this realm, we must make them fully understand the true terror of El-Melloi."

Kenneth smiled confidently. "As long as all the other passengers evacuate, there's nothing to worry about. Both sides can use their unique skills and have a good fight."

Kenneth, who was originally planning to wait for the other party to crash into his magic workshop, suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from downstairs.

The 32-story Hyatt Hotel collapsed.

The 150-meter-tall building remained upright, then collapsed as if being sucked into the ground.

Because all the outer walls collapsed inward, no debris flew out. Instead, the air blown out by the collapse kicked up dust and raised a cloud of smoke like a cumulonimbus cloud, sweeping across the streets and alleys around the hotel.

This technology is called demolition blasting, which is a highly difficult blasting technology mainly used to demolish large high-rise buildings.

But the news that Irisviel sent a message to tell Kiritsugu Emiya that Bai Ming had killed Caster with two slaps made Kiritsugu Emiya understand one thing - orthodox servants and magicians are much crazier than magicians like him.

This means that Emiya Kiritsugu's arrangement for the Hyatt Hotel was not a demolition technique that destroyed the most important pillar of a building's strength at a single point, allowing the weight of the building to crush the entire structure inward.

He prepared more explosives, and even if he couldn't kill Kenneth, he would at least make him half dead.

And Emiya Kiritsugu is a very meticulous guy.

Among the existing buildings in Fuyuki City, all locations that a magus might choose as a base were listed by Kiritsugu as targets for destruction.

The Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel was also on the list. He had already obtained the architectural drawings and selected the location for the explosives. All the preparations were complete, and the actual operation took less than an hour.

Kiritsugu Emiya does not fight like a magician. As a magician killer, he will do anything to win the Holy Grail War.

The refugees were all standing in a place far away from the danger zone of collapse, but they were still directly baptized by the dust and fell into chaos, scrambling to escape in all directions.

Kiritsugu watched the people fleeing. When the wind finally died down, he lit the cigarette in his mouth and asked through the communicator, "Maiya, how's the situation over there?"

"The target did not make any movement and did not leave the building."

"Is that so?"

The sobbing of a child drew Emiya Kiritsugu's attention away from the rubble. If it weren't for Bai Ming, a man whose power was beyond the comprehension of a magus, Emiya Kiritsugu would have believed that El-Melloi had died in a free fall from the thirty-second floor.

But the current Emiya Kiritsugu would never think so.

A mother, holding a frightened and crying child, walked past Kiritsugu with steady steps. She was wearing nothing but her pajamas, which were gray and stained with dust.

It looks quite sad.

For a moment, Emiya Kiritsugu acquired the presbyopia inherited from the Hokage's ancestors and put the appearance of Irisviel and Illyasviel on the mother and child who were taken out of the tragedy.

Emiya Kiritsugu would never allow himself to be confused by grief.

This weakness is a matter of life and death.

But Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but think again.

The Holy Grail can save the world and more than five billion human beings, and Kenneth is the obstacle that must be overcome in order to obtain the Holy Grail.

Even if these hundred or so people were to be buried with Kenneth, why would he want to set the fire to allow unrelated passengers to take shelter? Could it be that the grief in his heart was causing him to want unrelated passengers to take shelter, unconsciously playing tricks on him?

In this regard, Bai Ming could only say that a few pretentious idiots were not enough to accomplish anything great.

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu had no idea that Kotomine Kirei would touch the back of his lover and assistant Hisau Maiya at this time, while Bai Ming prepared some photo magic in the Einzbern Castle in the suburbs, projecting his own clairvoyant perspective and watching it with Irisviel.

Irisviel, who was at a great distance from the scene, felt a slight unease when she saw Kotomine Kirei appear on the screen.

"Saber... go help Hisau Maiya?"

The elegant lady pleaded with the man who was watching the fun, "If Hisau Maiya died... I'd be quite troubled."

"But it would be boring if I helped him."

Bai Ming rejected Irisviel without hesitation: "Don't disturb my viewing, woman. You don't have much right to ask my tolerance."

"Just once, just once."

Irisviel's tone was very firm, and even when Bai Ming placed his hand on Irisviel's neck, Irisviel did not retreat at all.

"Courage is the hymn of humanity. Although you are not truly human, I commend you for not fearing me."

After saying that, Bai Ming carried the woman on his shoulders and flew into the sky amid Irisviel's exclamation.

◇

At the upper levels, Hisayu Maiya felt all kinds of abstract changes, not things like smells or sounds, but the feelings brought about by Hisayu Maiya's theory of liberation after experiencing long-term wars and killings.

"Your senses are sharp, woman."

It was a magnetic bass voice, and the low and indifferent voice made Hisayu Maiya's already cold face even colder. While searching for the person coming, Hisayu Maiya took out the 9mm caliber Glock pistol from his waist.

"She's also a decisive woman."

The man who had not yet appeared had a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

A steel bar with a bat piercing it appeared from the shadows and stuck in the ground. The bat was the familiar released by Maiya, and it had been missing since it was sent to stand by near the Fuyuki Church.

The man walked out from the shadows, and Hisau Maiya couldn't help but murmur, "Kotomine... Kirei"

"Hey~ Is this the first time we meet, or is there some reason why you know me... Okay, I guess I can guess."

The man walked towards Hisau Maiya's gun, talking to himself. His dark monk's robes and burly figure gave off an oppressive feeling.

"If that's the case, you should know something else.

You know this is an excellent vantage point for monitoring the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Regency Fuyuki, and you also know who lives in that hotel."

Hisau Maiya said nothing, but was just wondering why Kotomine Kirei showed up so rashly.

"But I didn't expect you to blow up an entire building. Someone who is so unscrupulous doesn't seem like a magician at all."

"Don't leave me alone talking, woman. Just answer one question - where is the man who was supposed to take your place?"

Kotomine Kirei didn't care about Hisau Maiya at all, all he wanted to know was the whereabouts of Emiya Kiritsugu.
