Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 6 Kotomine Kirei’s Good Fall
"By the way, Kamiya-kun, isn't this Tokiomi-kun's child? Why is he following you?"

After the two customers in front of him finished their ramen, Kotomine Kirei looked at Tousaka Sakura, who lowered her head, and asked with some confusion.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Hearing Kirei's question, Kamiya Yu explained with a smile, "For some reason, Tokiomi has adopted Sakura into the Kamiya family."

"That means I am now Sakura's guardian." As he said this, he reached out and gently stroked Sakura's little head.

"Woo——"

Feeling the warmth above her head, Sakura's fair cheeks flushed slightly, and a hint of shyness appeared in her blue eyes.

"I see." Kotomine Kirei nodded as if understanding. He then shifted his gaze slightly to the back of Kamiya Yu's right hand, which was engraved with a bright red cross. "Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask Kamiya-kun, is the pattern on your right hand a Command Seal?"

After taking over Kotomine Risho's position and becoming a priest of the Fuyuki City Cathedral Church, Kotomine Kirei also learned about the Holy Grail War from his retired father.

When Kamiya Yu entered the store, he discovered the three bright red command seals that looked like holy marks.

"That's right." Kamiya Yu did not hide his thoughts and admitted it directly.

"Oh~" Hearing his answer, Kotomine Kirei's brown eyes brightened slightly, and a strange look appeared on his face. "If I remember correctly, the head of the Tōsaka family seems to be participating in this Holy Grail War as well?"

"In that case, Kamiya-kun, wouldn't you be fighting against the Tōsaka family head as an enemy... for the Holy Grail?"

He had clearly entrusted his daughter to a trustworthy friend, but due to a cruel twist of fate, the two close friends were forced to fight each other until a victor emerged...

What a twisted, tragic fate! ?
It's so - sparasi!

Just the thought of that scene causing a strong throbbing and burning sensation in Kotomine Kirei's heart, as if the emptiness in his heart was filled with an indescribable joy.

"Ah, could it be that Kirei is feeling happy again because of what happened between Tokiomi and me?"

Looking at Kotomine Kirei, whose body was constantly shaking as if he was having an orgasm, Kamiya Yu thought with a strange expression.

As the guide of the tax-evading priest in front of him, he knew this man too well.

Because of his inherent mental defects, Kotomine Kirei can only feel joy and happiness from the misfortune and pain of others, and the collapse and withering of all things.

However, such a person who can be said to be a "born evil" was born in a good family, and the education he received since childhood gave him the conscience and moral concepts of a normal person.

After growing up, his innate defects and acquired training formed a strong conflict. Kirei was confused about his own twisted heart and tried to find the path he really wanted.

Although these attempts all ended in failure, he was getting closer and closer to awakening, and even with just a little guidance, the twisted priest could discover his own nature.

At this critical moment, Kamiya Yuu appeared and successfully guided Kotomine Kirei to awaken to the "goodness" that he had acquired after birth.

While maintaining the saintly code of conduct of the past, he pursues the pleasure of satisfying his inner emptiness.

Finally, at Kamiya Yu's suggestion, Kotomine Kirei opened a Mapo Tofu Ramen restaurant in the commercial street of Shinto, where he enjoyed watching the customers' faces distorted because they couldn't stand the spiciness, and gained enough pleasure from it.

…………

"Sorry, I just remembered something happy and was rude."

A moment later, as the intense feeling of pleasure quickly subsided like a tide, Kotomine Kirei's expression instantly returned to normal.

"...It's okay, it's okay." Seeing Kirei's expression change so quickly, Kamiya Yu was still a little slow to react. He waved his hand and continued.

"Although Tokiomi and I will both participate in this Holy Grail War, this is merely a contest between magicians and will not endanger either of our lives." "Speaking of which, Kirei should be the referee of this Holy Grail War, right?"

"Yes." Hearing Kamiya Yu's question, Kotomine Kirei nodded, his voice calm and steady, "After all, my father, who served as the referee in the last Holy Grail War, has retired from the Eighth Secret Society."

"As his successor, I will naturally follow the Church's arrangements and become the supervisor of this Holy Grail War."

Having said this, Kotomine Kirei paused, as if he had thought of something. He looked at Kamiya Yu and said, "If Kamiya-kun or the head of the Tōsaka family fails in this Holy Grail War, they can seek refuge in the church."

"However, I think with your strength, Kamiya-kun, it shouldn't be necessary..."

…………

At night, the lights are on.

Located in the church in Xindu.

"..."

An old priest was praying devoutly. There was no one around him. Only the cold moonlight shone through the blinds onto the clean floor. The whole church looked quiet and sacred.

But the next moment, heavy footsteps came from the wooden floor not far away, breaking the silent atmosphere.

"I'm sorry, the church service is over today. Please come back tomorrow."

Kotomine Ri had just opened his tightly closed eyes. He spoke in a gentle tone while turning around and looking in the direction of the voice.

A handsome young man with silver hair and golden eyes was seen walking towards Yan Fengli from the church door.

After seeing the visitor's face clearly, the old priest's expression softened instantly. He smiled and said, "It's Xiaoyou. When did you come back from the Clock Tower? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could prepare to entertain you?"

"I came back about two or three days ago. Because it happened suddenly, I didn't tell you in advance. I'm sorry." Kamiya Yu said apologetically when he came to Kotomine Risei's side.

"Oh, kid, you are still so serious. I don't mean to blame you." As he said this, the old priest reached out and patted his shoulder, a look of relief on his face.

Yan Fengli is very satisfied and even grateful to Kamiya Yu, his disciple who has been learning Bajiquan since childhood.

After all, if he hadn't been there, he would never have known that his granddaughter Karen had the dangerous peculiar physique of a "tortured medium".

Once Kallen's physique is discovered by the church, she will become a "weapon" used to purify the demons until her body can no longer withstand the demons' invasion and she dies.

Therefore, in the eyes of Kotomine Risei, the future foreseen by Kamiya Yu's magic eyes undoubtedly saved the fate of his granddaughter.

"By the way, Uncle Li Zheng, I came to the church this time to ask you for something."

After a brief greeting, Kamiya Yu's face became serious. Since he was chosen as the Master of the Holy Grail War, he had to make some preparations in advance.

"Tell me, as long as it doesn't violate the principles, I can agree to it."

"Thank you very much. I hope that after the Holy Grail War begins, you will..."
