Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy
Chapter 8 Adopting Kallen
Mo Li gently stroked Kallen's cheek, which was beaten blue and purple. Her face, which was red with palm prints, instantly became extremely clean, without any trace of being beaten.
Feeling that the pain on her face was gone, Kallen touched her face blankly: "This is..."
"My ability, it won't hurt anymore, right?" Mo Li smiled and rubbed Karen's hair. The latter touched her messed hair and hummed softly.
"Risei!" At the entrance of the Cathedral Church, Tōsaka Tokiomi rushed in quickly and looked at the two corpses on the ground in shock.
Kotomine Kirei followed behind Tōsaka Tokiomi, staring at his father's body in silence, his expression a mixture of laughter and tears, completely unable to understand whether he was happy or sad.
Toosaka Tokiomi silently looked at the row of bullet holes on Kotomine Rizheng's forehead. The other party was really careful in order to kill Kotomine Rizheng.
"What on earth happened here..." Toosaka Tokiomi asked Mo Li. With the other party's ability, there was no need to go through so much trouble to kill Kotomine Risho, and the gun was in the hand of another corpse next to them.
Li Qiye said nonchalantly, "You know my recent plans. I have no interest in your Holy Grail War, so I started trying to rule this country. The recent gun ban was also one of my actions for this purpose. Under such circumstances, and someone bought a gun in Fuyuki City, I followed the clues and came here. Unfortunately, I was still a step too late and only saved Kallen in the end. But I think Kallen must know what happened."
"Kallen..." Kotomine Kirei looked down at his daughter, a trace of relief inexplicably flashing through his heart: "Kallen, I'm glad you're okay."
Karen sat on the bench and said dejectedly, "I almost got into trouble, but Brother Moli saved me."
Kotomine Kirei continued to ask: "What happened here?"
Kallen said: "At first I was still inside, and suddenly I heard a sound that was not very loud, but it was very strange, so I walked out and saw the man with the gun killed my grandfather..."
Kallen began to describe the whole process she saw.
Tōsaka Tokiomi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. Kotomine Risei's ability was quite good, but he was actually killed by a gun. This was really too unexpected.
After Kallen finished her story for a long time, Tōsaka Tokiomi said, "Leave this matter to me and the Holy Church. My old friend deserves a proper funeral."
As he spoke, Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at Shinkawa Kazuma's body and asked, "How did you kill this man?"
Mo Li said, "The situation was urgent at the time. I came to the Holy Church and saw him slap Karen. I was afraid he would shoot next, so I pulled out his heart from behind, made him eat his own heart, and then shattered his brain."
"She was slapped..." Tōsaka Tokiomi looked at Kallen: "She just said she was slapped. Where are the marks? This is also evidence."
Mo Li said, "I helped Kallian recover. Her face was blue, red, and purple at the time. It would be bad for Kallian to have the injuries on her face, so I helped her recover as well."
Kallen touched her left cheek and nodded to Tōsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei: "Brother Moli did this, and I don't feel the pain I did before."
Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly said, "...Kirei."
Kotomine Kirei: "Hmm?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi said seriously: "Your father is dead, and Kallen cannot be left without someone to take care of her. If a son inherits his father's business, the higher-ups won't say anything."
Kotomine Kirei glanced at the Command Seal in his hand: "Is everything okay?"
Tōsaka Tokiomi said, "No problem. I will apply to be the Supervisor after this Holy Grail War is over. With less than half a year left, it's impossible for the Holy Church to send someone else to be the Supervisor. You will not take any action during this Holy Grail War. Just protect Kallen."
Kotomine Kirei asked, "If you don't need my cooperation, is that really okay?"
"No problem." Tōsaka Tokiomi was full of confidence. He already had the biggest trump card in his hands.
"it is good."
Tōsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei were discussing various things. After they had made their arrangements, Mo Li suddenly said, "Karen, that child hasn't gone to school yet, has she?"
Kotomine Kirei looked at Mo Li: "Hmm? That's right."
Mo Li said, "I can feel the emptiness in your heart, Kotomine Kirei. Leave Kallen to me to teach. I will tell you what you unconsciously crave."
Kallen was stunned. She never expected that Mo Li wanted to take her away.
"The emptiness in my heart..." Kotomine Kirei's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously pressed his heart. He lacked some emotions that humans should have.
Mo Li said, "How about starting with something simple and easy to understand? For example, set a small goal for yourself and try to achieve it in a way that does not hurt others. While pursuing it, you must also know how to restrain yourself."
Kotomine Kirei said doubtfully, "In a way that doesn't hurt others? While pursuing, you also have to restrain yourself..."
Mo Li continued, "I think you have a personality defect. You can't feel good about what people say is beautiful, but you find it hard to forget what many people say is ugly. You have always been like this, right?"
Kotomine Kirei stared at Mo Li intently: "How did you know?"
Mo Li smiled and said, "I have my own way. Kotomine Kirei, have you ever thought about this? For you, it's the flawed humanity in your heart that makes you feel those sad and ugly things. That's why you subconsciously want to lend a helping hand and save those pitiful people and things. You instinctively desire to turn all bad things into good, and at the same time, you feel joy from saving others."
Instead of letting Gilgamesh harm Kotomine Kirei, it would be better to create Kotomine Kirei first. Kotomine Kirei is not necessarily evil in every world line. There is also a world where the kind Kotomine Kirei exists.
To Kotomine Kirei, everything that Mo Li said now was indeed completely true. He finally discovered his own heart: "So the reason I want to save and help those people is because I long for beauty? I long for something I can't feel myself. Seeing them achieve beauty, I can indeed get pleasure from it..."
The scene fell silent. Tōsaka Tokiomi looked at Mo Li in confusion. Not knowing what was going on with Kotomine Kirei, he couldn't comprehend the current situation.
After a long moment, Kotomine Kirei finally let out a long, suppressed sigh: "Huh... I see. I'm pursuing, longing for beauty. I want to grasp that beauty that I can't feel. I want to try to understand it all. Although I can't grasp it, my instinctive desire allows me to find another way to feel pleasure from it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kotomine Kirei's eyes lit up, and the chaos in his heart was completely settled. He said with great enlightenment: "So that's how it is. This is what I'm pursuing!"
Looking at Kotomine Kirei's enlightened expression, Mo Li smiled and said, "Oh, then I'll take Kallen away. Is that okay?"
Kotomine Kirei looked at Kallen for a moment and said, "...Yes, I will definitely participate in the Holy Grail War. Although my battle plan is mainly for self-preservation, it is inevitable that others will come to attack me. It is best for Kallen to be taught by you, the head of the Matou family. If I die, Kallen will be raised by you."
"Dad..." Kallen was puzzled and couldn't understand why Kotomine Kirei really handed her over to Mo Li for teaching, but she did not question his decision.
"Okay, I'll take Kallen with me then."
Mo Li stood up and took Kallen back to the Matou family.
At this scene, because the deceased was unusual and was shot, the Holy Church and the Magic Association handled the situation quickly, and the cause of Kotomine Risei's death was quickly determined.
Kotomine Risho was shot twice in the back of the heart first, but his ability as a magician allowed him to survive for a short while. However, the assassin was very cautious and shot him in the forehead and heart again.
Through tracking using guns and silencers, it was discovered that the assassin left his name as Kazuma Shinkawa, a mediocre high school student in Fuyuki City. No one knew why he suddenly knew how to buy a gun and then came here to assassinate Kotomine Risei, so the possibility of him being controlled could be ruled out.
Even though no one could find out what grudge Kotomine Rizheng had with the other party that made Shinkawa Kazuma target him so much, he was definitely the murderer who shot Kotomine Rizheng. There was no calculation involved, it was just a spur of the moment murder.
Upon learning of this situation, Tōsaka Tokiomi was speechless. His old friend was really unlucky. At the same time, this incident also made him more vigilant. When they, the magicians, did not mobilize their magic power, they were quite fragile. If they were suddenly attacked, they would indeed be unable to withstand firearms. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were like glass cannons.
The Matou house was so empty that only the two of them were there.
Kallen looked uneasily at the piles of books in front of her, several of which were taller than her. "What are these..."
"The magic manuals, including all the magic knowledge of the Matou and Tōsaka families, are here. However, you must first start with elementary school knowledge, otherwise it will be difficult for you to learn these magic tricks without knowing anything. I will personally tutor you, whether it's knowledge taught in school or the magic knowledge of the two families. I can help you."
Kallen picked up a magic tome and began to read it, noticing it was filled with annotations and expanded understandings of magical terms. "That's... a lot of explanations."
Mo Li said, "Because this is the magic knowledge I have reproduced by hand, it is a combination of the magic knowledge of Matou and Toita. After my changes, this knowledge is different from the original magic books of the two families. It is my improvement and sublimation of magic that can be performed in the modern world, or to be more precise, magic. This magic does not rely on the magician's magic power, and can be replaced by other energy."
Mo Li put his hand on Karen's shoulder and said, "I'll give you something first, and then improve your physical condition."
Kallen felt a heat spreading from her shoulders. She felt warm but couldn't understand why. "This is..."
Mo Li said, "I have recovered Yanfeng Lizheng's magic circuits and magic seals, and now I am returning them to you. I will also use my divine power to improve your body and allow you to possess the same amount of magic power as Yanfeng Lizheng did when he was alive."
