Chapter 24 Action

"Gilgamesh is not dead after all. He got involved with Kotomine Kirei, which is not unexpected to me."

Listening to the information transmitted by Matou Kariya, Manshu showed a matter-of-fact look.

Gilgamesh is not a casual person, and he will not just find a random Master to allow himself to continue to exist, so the new Master he will look for can only be Kotomine Kirei.

Manshu had certainly considered this matter, but Kotomine Kirei's room in the Holy Church had long been deserted.

The hunting dogs sent by Manshu only chased into the room and could not smell any other traces.

Now that I think about it, this is the same as Gilgamesh, where no trace can be found.

"But he actually killed Lancer's Master. Did he cooperate with Emiya Kiritsugu? This is really unexpected."

Maybe it shouldn't be said that this was something unexpected, but rather something that made people feel bad.

As mentioned before, Saber and Archer are the servants that Manshu fears the most in this Holy Grail War.

Whether it is the Sword of Victory and Promise, which is known as the strongest holy sword, or the Star of Creation of Heaven and Earth, which is the strongest treasure that the human race can possess, they all possess incredible power that is difficult for ordinary people to contend with.

And if you add the two together, it's no longer just difficult to contend with, it's a force that's despairing.

It is undoubtedly unwise to confront these two servants head-on, so the only remaining countermeasures are to defeat them one by one and find allies.

Of the remaining Servants, it seems that only Rider is left. Perhaps it is time to talk to the King of Conquerors and his Master.

“Kariya, go and send an invitation to Rider’s Master for me. Set up a banquet at the Tousaka family’s residence to entertain the king. Iskandar is also considered a pharaoh. I think there is still something we can talk to him about.”

Since you have made up your mind, there is no need to waste time, Manshuli said to Matou Kariya immediately.

"Rider and his master are staying at Nakagoshi 2-chome in Miyama-cho. The owner of that house is just an ordinary person. There is no need to disturb their lives. Just send them the invitation."

"I'll get ready right now."

Matou Kariya nodded and left the room, then went to prepare the invitations and the scheduled banquet.

However, if Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei cooperate, it would be time for Matou Kariya to be more careful.

Mansu thought for a moment, and then uttered another eulogy: "Bast, the guardian of Lower Egypt, you are the guardian of warmth and joy, but also the god of wrath and war. Please protect that man in the form of a cat, and when he is in danger, show the ferocity of a lion and tear his enemies to pieces."

A cat with a graceful and elegant aura walked out from behind Manshu, jumped onto his arm, and licked Manshu's breath with its tongue.

Manshu stroked the cat's head and body, stroking its fur, which was indeed a very comfortable and interesting experience.

"Well, there's no need to linger around here, go protect the person you should protect."

Manshu played with the cat for a moment, then ended this brief entertainment. He pinched the cat's ears and reached out to push it forward.

The cat jumped up from Manshu's body, left the room with graceful steps, and went to look for Matou Kariya.

"Why is there suddenly a cat?"

Matou Kariya, who was contacting the restaurant to organize a banquet, suddenly heard a cat's meow behind him and turned around and said in confusion.

When Matou Kariya saw that the cat was not afraid of him, he took the initiative to walk over to him, circled around his feet, pulled up his trouser legs, then squatted down, stretched out his hand and took the initiative to tease the cat.

"Are you the messenger of the goddess Bastet? Are you sent by the king to protect me?"

The cat that suddenly appeared was definitely not a normal creature. Ordinary animals would not be able to break into the Matou family's mansion.

The suggestion magic set up at the door wall alone is enough to make ordinary people turn around and leave, and the defensive magic set up between the door and the house is no joke.

Then the cat that appears may only be related to another resident of the mansion. There is a god related to cats in Egyptian mythology.

Therefore, it was easy for Matou Kariya to come to a conclusion and asked the cat.

The cat nodded gently and made two clear and pleasant sounds in response.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Please give my regards to Goddess Bast in the future."

Matou Kariya said happily, picked up the cat and put it on his shoulder.

The cat also stood on Matou Kariya's shoulders as if it were walking on flat ground, and was even able to shuttle back and forth between the two shoulders.

Matou Kariya continued to complete the task assigned by Manshu. Although cats are indeed cute, the task at hand is more important.

Later in the evening, Matou Kariya left the mansion to deliver the invitation to Rider.

"Is the Berserker Master still acting alone?"

Not long after Matou Kariya left the mansion, information was transmitted back to the hall of the Einzbern family. Kotomine Kirei's Assassins had been entrenched here, and it was difficult to clean them out.

"If it wasn't a battle, the Assassins have never observed Berserker leaving the Matou family's mansion."

Kotomine Kirei explained in a calm tone that he had been conducting thorough espionage operations from the beginning, and that Assassins could bring back more intelligence than ordinary familiars.

"Matou Kariya often goes out to the library to borrow books related to mythology and buy food and wine. These days he is working on the temporary repair of the original residence of the Tousaka family."

“I understand it very well.”

"The Matou family is, after all, one of the three great families in the Holy Grail War. Although Matou Kariya's reputation was very bad before, we still need to pay some attention to him."

Kotomine Kirei gave a fake smile at the right moment and turned to look at Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel.

“Leave Matou Kariya to me. You continue to gather information about Rider and his servants with your Assassins.”

Emiya Kiritsugu said in the same calm tone, his gaze like a sharp blade, wanting to dig into the heart of the man in front of him.

However, he gained nothing. Kotomine Kirei did not show any change in expression. He just smiled and agreed, then left the Einzbern family's woods.

"Be careful with this man and don't let him go into the woods while I'm gone."

Emiya Kiritsugu said to Maiya and Irisviel, and turned around and left to snipe Matou Kariya.

At this time, Kiri Kariya had just arrived at his destination and met with the King of Conquerors Iskandar.

Chapter 25 Lion

Matou Kariya arrived at the address in Miyama-cho mentioned by Manshu and rang the doorbell of the mansion.

However, Rider and his Master did not seem to be at home. The one who answered the door was the owner of the mansion, a white-haired old woman.

Matou Kariya could see that the old woman had nothing to do with the Holy Grail War, so he simply exchanged a few words of greeting and handed the prepared invitation to her. He then had to return to the Matou family to complete the preparations.

Most of the daily chores are done by Matou Kariya. If he hadn't lived alone away from home for the past eleven years, he wouldn't be sure whether he could have handled the job.

But it is still quite busy and we need to hurry up.

Despite this, Matou Kariya had no complaints. Rather, it could be said that such fulfilling activities gradually sobered him up.

After waking up from a year-long nightmare, he gradually turned back into a human being, rather than the mindless beast he was before.

"Meow--!"

Suddenly, the cat standing on Matou Kariya's shoulder let out a loud scream.

Matou Kariya immediately chanted a spell and set up defensive magic, and raging flames surrounded Matou Kariya's voice.

This is the power stolen from Toosaka Tokiomi. The goddess Isis once set a trap and used a poisonous snake to trap the great god Ra in order to obtain Ra's real name and usurp Ra's divine power.

⑤ Although Matou Kariya cannot understand Tokiomi's magic, he can imitate the magic that Tokiomi used before through Tokiomi's ceremonial costume and the power of the goddess Isis.

"Is there a magic to sense hostility? Or is there something wrong with that cat?"

6. On the rooftop in the distance, Emiya Kiritsugu showed an unhappy look, put down the sniper rifle in his hand, and did not try.

㈥"Kotomine Kirei?"

3Emiya Kiritsugu dialed the communication device and called Kotomine Kirei directly.

Four “I didn’t expect you would actually use this to contact me. Is there something wrong with Matou Kariya?”

⑷ Kotomine Kirei was a little surprised and asked Emiya Kiritsugu.

"He was discovered before I made my move. It seems that Berserker left a warning on him."

Emiya Kiritsugu made up an excuse to start his next request.

“Let your Assassin come. It will be useless even if Matou Kariya can detect it. Let him create an opportunity for me to kill Matou Kariya.”

"No problem, but instead of letting Assassin come, wouldn't your Saber be more suitable? Both in terms of strength and trust."

Kotomine Kirei asked curiously.

"That should also be your sincerity in cooperation, Kotomine Kirei."

Emiya Kiritsugu had no desire to answer, so Kotomine Kirei could only hang up the phone awkwardly and send out the Assassin.

"You are so slow, Kirei."

Gilgamesh was standing behind Kotomine Kirei, holding up a wine glass and drinking fine wine. He shook the glass in his hand and looked at Kotomine Kirei through the wine in the glass.

"Isn't this just what you said, King of Heroes? Or are you already bored and impatient?"

Kotomine Kirei said without changing his expression.

⑷ "My patience is not so limited. If I really find you boring, I will still abandon you."

Gilgamesh just smiled cruelly and said casually.

2 "But it should be soon. We will soon be able to see everything about Emiya Kiritsugu."

Kotomine Kirei said seriously, with a feeling of longing rising from nowhere. Perhaps this was the meaning of his participation in this Holy Grail War.

㈢"It's time for me to leave too. I'll take my leave now."

Kirei Yamagotomine took a step forward and continued walking towards his goal, while Gilgamesh still held the wine glass in his hand, his sparkling blood-red eyes perfectly matched the wine in the glass.

Forest……

"No movement. Is it Emiya Kiritsugu, or Assassin?"

Matou Kariya stood in the circle of fire, but did not receive the attack he expected.

He asked the cat on his shoulder, and was still told that the enemy was still nearby.

Therefore, he did not dare to remove the defensive magic beside him. Both Emiya Kiritsugu and Assassin had the ability to destroy him with one blow.

So he could only wait here, waiting for the other party to withdraw or launch an attack.

Matou Kariya stroked the cat on his body. Only the incarnation of the goddess Bastet could bring him a sense of security.

This cat seemed to be in a fighting posture. The hair on its body was not very smooth. If you didn't stroke it smoothly, your hand might get pricked.

The size of this cat is gradually increasing. At the beginning, it could be easily held in two hands. Now it has grown to about 30 or 40 centimeters and is still slowly growing.

The color of its hair is also changing, gradually turning brown.

"From a cat to a lion."

Even Matou Kariya could see this, the original little kitten was about to become a predator.

"Are you going to hunt down that guy who has evil intentions?"

When the cat really turns into a lion, the lion will not stay in the circle of fire as a warning, but will take the initiative to attack.

Matou Kariya also saw its plan, and pushed away a little of the flame to let the lion jump out.

Golden hair bloomed on the lion's body, and the moment it jumped out of the flames, it grew into a two-meter-tall lioness.

The hair, like molten gold or solidified sunlight, moves without wind.

What appeared here at this time was no longer the power of the cat god Bastet, but the lion god Sekhmet.

Its mere appearance stirred up the wind and sand, and its roar made those with demons in their hearts lose their resistance.

The lioness swept up the wind and sand, like a golden flame burning in a dust storm, and ran towards the distant building.

"It's the power of the Egyptian gods again. What a trouble."

Emiya Kiritsugu sighed, quickly grabbed the things in his hands, and evacuated to the side, calling for Saber who was nearby.

It is impossible to ask Saber to stay by and guard the sniper's side, and it is even more impossible to let her kill the enemy Master.

So he could only let Saber stay away from him and ask her to investigate nearby.

Matou Kariya took advantage of this opportunity and quickly evacuated from here with the flames.

Let the lion goddess Sekhmet indulge her own power. The last time she was called upon, she was just asked to dig something, and this god was not very happy about it.

This goddess of war is a fierce hunter, and even the god Ra cannot stop her from slaughtering and destroying.
