Chapter 542 Non-stop fighting
Time went back ten minutes, and loud noises continued to be heard outside the church.
In the church, Kirei Kotomine, who was holding a Bible in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, closed the pages of the book, put his hands behind his back, and turned to look at the handsome blond man sitting on the church bench.
"You laughed again, Priest."
The handsome blond man raised his head slightly, looked at Kotomine Kirei in front of the baptistery and chuckled: "This is not a smile that can be shown in front of others!"
"Is that what you think?"
"Of course!" The handsome blond man chuckled, "To show such a shameless smile, you must have encountered something happy, Kirei."
"Yes, it feels like meeting an old friend again."
Kotomine Kirei chuckled and said: "As you said, the Fourth Holy Grail War has started again only ten years ago. This time, as the supervisor, I can only pray for a miracle to come and the Holy Grail to be completed..."
"Even if this place becomes hell?"
"Then it has nothing to do with me."
Kotomine Kirei said lightly.
The handsome blond man clicked his tongue twice. Just when he was about to speak, a deafening loud noise came from outside the church. The ground and the entire church began to tremble crazily, and countless dust powder fell from the top of the building.
The handsome blond man frowned, but no movement was seen from him, and a golden light appeared behind him.
A metallic iron umbrella floated out from the golden light, opened the umbrella, and covered the top of his head.
After a while, the tremors in the earth gradually subsided.
The handsome blond man waved his hand, and the iron umbrella above his head and the remaining dust on the umbrella turned into dots and disappeared in the air.
"Were you the Archer of this year just now?"
"Yes, he is also a powerful heroic spirit!"
"……Yeah?"
The handsome blond man turned his head slightly and glanced at the church door with his red eyes.
"How about I get rid of him first?"
"hehe……"
Kotomine Kirei chuckled lightly and raised his eyes to look at the window where the moonlight was pouring.
“My Lord is in heaven, and all sins on earth can be forgiven.”
"Why don't you wait and see what the outcome of the first battle will be..."
"laugh--"
The handsome blond man sneered and leaned back on the bench.
"You must have taken a fancy to his fighting ability!"
"I know that you must want to take control of him away from that little girl named Tohsaka Rin."
Kotomine Kirei chuckled: "I did have this thought, but it was not directed at Archer..."
The handsome blond man frowned: "Is it that Lu Bu?"
"A domestic servant with the third surname is a disloyal person, what use do you want from him?"
At this point, the handsome blond man suddenly chuckled and said sarcastically: "But then again, this guy's past and character are indeed a good match for you!"
"Patricide and master-killing should be equally serious in the East, right?"
"..."
Kotomine Kirei glanced at him but said nothing.
The handsome blond man stood up with a smile, put his hands in his pockets, and turned towards the church door: "It doesn't matter, it's up to you. Anyway, as long as I can achieve the results I want..."
…
…
Although the Emiya family's mansion is not as luxurious as the Tohsaka family, the overall area of the house is quite large, and it is located quite close to the city center, so it is obviously quite valuable.
With the financial resources of Emiya Shirou's adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu, it was difficult for him to afford it on his own, so it should have been an investment from the Einzbern family back then.
In the early morning, in the quiet room filled with Japanese breeze, everyone sat around the square dining table of Emiya's house, enjoying the breakfast in silence.
Taiga Fujimura, an English teacher at the high school at Hogunhara Academy, the granddaughter of the gangster Raika Fujimura, the guardian of Shirou Emiya, and in a sense a female character who represents Fate's daily life, is sitting opposite Shirou Emiya. He held the rice bowl in his hand expressionlessly.
"Shirou."
"Huh? What...what's wrong, Sister Teng?"
"You said that Miss Saber is your father's friend, so she wants to stay at your house for a while?"
"Yes."
"Tohsaka-san and Tong-san happened to pass by during their morning jog, so you invited them over for dinner?"
"Yes, it is."
"Then what's going on with this guy?"
Sister Teng's eyes widened, she covered her mouth with one hand and asked in a low voice. She kept glancing at the tall Lu Bu next to her, who was obviously a head taller than everyone around her just by sitting at the dining table.
"He..."
Emiya Shirou scratched his head in embarrassment.
Tong Shen put down the bowl and chopsticks at this time and explained with a smile: "Uncle Bu is my distant relative. He has always loved food. I heard that Wei Gong's cooking skills are very good, so I have to come over for a meal no matter what. You don't have to worry about it. Just treat him as a diner who comes to the restaurant and will pay..."
"ah?"
Sister Teng blinked and looked at Lu Bu in surprise, or Deng Yougang, who had taken over the ownership of the body.
Yes, Lu Bu naturally had no interest in the meals of the Wei Gong family, but Deng Yougang was different.
So after receiving the invitation from Emiya Shirou, Deng Yougang happily took over the ownership of Lu Bu's spirit body, and came to the Emiya family's mansion in the city center with Tong Shen.
Facing Sister Teng's surprised gaze, Deng Yougang grinned and showed a bright smile.
"Yes, I am indeed here for a meal, and the Emiya boy's cooking skills are indeed good. Although he is not yet experienced, he can still compare with the chefs in ordinary restaurants!"
Emiya Shirou said sheepishly: "Mr. Lu, thank you!"
Deng Yougang smiled and said, "I plan to pay the price of a first-class chef. What do you two think?"
Sister Teng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Ara, how can I be so embarrassed? It's just a mere breakfast..."
Deng Yougang raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Since you said so, then..."
Sister Teng said quickly: "What I mean is that no matter how good Shirou's craftsmanship is, he can't compare to a first-class chef. Let's just follow the standards of ordinary restaurants!"
Everyone: "..."
Of course, paying and all that was just a joke.
Neither Sister Fuji nor Shirou Emiya could really accept money from Deng Yougang and Tong Shen just for a breakfast.
However, after receiving praise from Deng Yougang, Sister Teng proudly put her hands on her hips and laughed three times, as if she was no longer sleepy after talking about this.
Then she kept talking about how she had trained Emiya Shirou's cooking skills to this point with just one mouth...
In short, after the extremely daily breakfast farce, the lively Emiya family finally calmed down.
After Shirou Emiya washed the dishes, he glanced at Fuji-san who was watching the news in the living room, then carefully returned to the room and closed the sliding wooden door of the quiet room.
"Okay, Emiya-san."
Rin Tosaka sat on the tea table in the quiet room and said calmly: "I have set up a soundproof barrier. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Next to him, Tong Shen crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. He glanced at Shirou Emiya and said, "Yes... I also thought about what you wanted to do by inviting us here."
"I would like to formally ally with you."
Emiya Shirou sat opposite Tosaka Rin, looking at the two of them with serious expressions.
Tohsaka Rin and Tong Shen were both startled and couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
Emiya Shirou smiled and said: "Don't worry, after witnessing such a battle, I have a deeper understanding of this war, but even so, I still don't want to fight with Tohsaka-san... and Tong-san." Be an enemy.”
"..." Tong Shen twitched the corner of his mouth and complained, "Why do I feel like I'm just incidental?"
"How could it be!" Shirou Emiya smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously, "Anyway, I really want to form an alliance with you. As for after defeating the other four masters and heroic spirits, if there are really only the two of you left, I You can opt out."
"Shirou!"
Saber couldn't help but frown.
Emiya Shirou continued: "Of course, the premise is that you promise me not to take action against Saber. If it is really unavoidable, then I will never harm the lives of Tohsaka-san and Tong-san."
Tohsaka Rin and Tong Shen looked at each other.
The latter said calmly: "So, we also need to sign a reciprocal agreement, right?"
"No need." Emiya Shirou shook his head, "This is just my unilateral wish."
"Too naive, young man!" Deng Yougang said lightly, "You will die."
Emiya Shirou said firmly: "That is also my own choice..."
Outside the room, Hong A leaned against the wall in a spirit state invisible to ordinary people, quietly listening to the conversation in the room, and then at a certain moment, he suddenly sighed with a complicated expression.
At this moment, Hong A suddenly raised his head and looked forward with a slight frown.
The next second, the red figure disappeared instantly and appeared on the wall of Emiya's house.
At the same time, Tohsaka Rin in the room seemed to have received the news and stood up from the tea table suddenly.
"What...what happened?"
Emiya Shirou looked at Tohsaka Rin blankly.
But before Tohsaka Rin could speak, Saber next to him took the lead in pulling out the invisible sword and said solemnly: "Shirou, be careful, there is a monster approaching this way!"
"...Monster?"
Shirou Emiya was startled for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "Oh no, Saber, you go and stop them. I'll hold Fuji-san back and prevent her from getting involved in the vortex of the Holy Grail War."
After saying that, Emiya Shirou opened the door and left in a hurry.
Tohsaka Rin opened the glass door and walked into the courtyard with Saber.
Tong Shen turned around and said, "Uncle Bu, let's go take a look too?"
"..."
Deng Yougang nodded, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
I have to say that Emiya Shirou's halo as the protagonist is really powerful. These successive battles really don't stop for a moment!
Deng Yougang complained while calling Lu Bu to come online.
Soon, Lu Bu and Tong Shen climbed onto the courtyard wall of Wei Gong's house.
On the slope outside the courtyard wall, dozens of monsters composed purely of skeletons suddenly appeared.
They have a dragon-shaped skull, but the body is like a wolf with only the skeleton left. Judging from the appearance alone, these monsters are quite terrifying, but the magic power in their bodies is extremely weak, and they are huge in number. , it looks like a cannon fodder unit at first glance.
"It's the Dragon Tooth Soldier!"
Tohsaka Rin looked at them coldly and said.
