Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen - Chapter 53 Be Happy, Kirei
Kotomine Kirei didn’t know what expression he should use to respond to the kindly address from his former friend.
The Holy Grail War is a fratricide between magicians, and I should not give any trust to the masters who come with desire.
But the moment he saw Roland smiling and greeting him, the uneasiness in Kotomine Kirei’s heart disappeared, as if this was not a battlefield, but the tree-lined path where the two established friendship.
“Assassin, stay where you are.”
“Master!”
Faced with the situation where the Master was in danger alone, Assassin seemed very anxious, but in the end, he still loyally obeyed Kotomine Kirei’s order.
Kotomine Kirei just stood next to Roland, separated him by a body, and said in his usual distressed voice: “From the point of view of decision-making, the master’s choice is not wrong, since there is no time to take advantage of Lancer. If you have the upper hand, then even if you release the treasure that will kill you, you may not be able to reap the results of the battle, and there are two servants watching, so retreating is a rational choice.”
“From the Master’s point of view, maybe so.”
Roland smiled irrefutably: “After all, Command Seals existed to restrain followers from the beginning, so it’s a normal idea to use Command Seals from your own perspective, just like the roles of chess players and chess pieces. “
“But unfortunately, the Holy Grail War is not a game of chess competition. In it, compatibility is more important than the data on paper. This King of Heroes is a character who will not be controlled. Use Command Spells to force him It will only be backlashed, but rather than doing this, offering the Command Seals as pure magic power and sincerely offering them as a gift to your subordinates, even if you don’t get the Holy Grail, the rewards that the Tohsaka family will get are probably enough to benefit you forever.”
Kotomine Kirei fell into a long silence, and after a long while, he said seriously: “Perhaps it is indeed possible to do this, but Master is a very proud magician, so he can’t treat a follower like this.” A kind of existence with a sincere attitude.”
If you want to realize your wish, doing this may be the best choice, but to reach the root, all seven servants must die. Lost the opponent.
For Tohsaka Tokiomi, his servants are just props that are indispensable in order to reach the root, and finally have to be solved by himself. Compared with wasting precious command spells to let the opponent play wantonly, it is natural to give priority to ensuring the safety of the props A method more in line with the thinking of a magician.
“Yeah, this pair is fundamentally terrible,” Roland said calmly, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it, since the last time we parted, Kirei, have you found the answer?”
“I……”
Faced with such a simple question, Kotomine Kirei muttered to himself as if he was struggling with shame.
Since Roland gave him a reminder, Kotomine Kirei quickly found a way to make himself happy.
In fact, he had realized very early on that Kotomine Kirei could only derive happiness from the pain and misfortune of others.
In other words, was he born as a sad person who has no value and does not understand happiness? With such a twisted man, can he just suck in the filthy dregs, in order to keep the pleasure going, and repeat this process until the day when his crimes are judged?
It took Kotomine Kirei a while before he smiled self-deprecatingly.
“I’ve found the answer, but I still can’t understand it.”
The process of searching for the answer killed Kotomine Kirei’s last hope. At a very young age, he realized that he was different from ordinary people, but he still worked hard.
To fall in love with someone, to accept the teachings of God, to be an excellent priest.
This is like the life of an ascetic, and he lasted for more than thirty years.
But the irony is that after Kotomine Kirei himself accepted the fact that he was unable to obtain happiness, he suddenly discovered that it was his own nature that could alleviate the emptiness in his heart.
He is a villain by nature, in order to prove that he can also obtain happiness like ordinary people, he has fought against himself for so long, but in the end he reaped such an ending.
This taciturn man, in front of his only reliable friend, showed his true emotions for the first time. Fiery fires ignited in his pupils, and surging emotions rose in his chest.
“Why are there happy and unfortunate people in this world? And for those unfortunate people, what is their true happiness? When I was confused about my own nature, I tried to seek answers from the Lord devoutly many times, but In the end, there was still nothing…”
“Why did fate let me be born? What is the meaning of my existence to this day!”
Speaking of this, Kotomine Kirei’s empty pupils flickered with some fanatical emotion.
He couldn’t be as open-minded as Roland. He recognized his true nature early on and was able to live freely in the way he wanted. What he longed for was true happiness.
The current Kotomine Kirei, who is being bound by the pain and persistence of the past, is teetering on the verge of collapse. For this reason, he is willing to make demands at all costs like a drowning person, just to grab the straw that saves his life.
But facing Kotomine Kirei’s anxious questioning, Roland did not answer, but only sent out an invitation with a gentle voice.
“Kirei, do you believe in gravity?”
“Do you think the encounter between us that day was meaningful? I think the encounter itself is a kind of gravity. You who lack answers and me who have nothing. This kind of encounter itself is a coincidence, right?
“If that is also the choice of fate, then our encounter today may be the meaning of your existence to this day.”
As if forgiven, Kotomine Kirei stared at Roland’s sincere smile.
“So, does true happiness really exist?”
“Of course it exists. It is a unique state called {heaven}. As long as we reach that place, even if the world doesn’t allow us to be happy, we can create a world where we can be happy.”
Roland laughed, the corners of his mouth raised, his pupils were as bright red as blood, flowing dark red like magma from hell, making people feel scorching and fearful.
Then, he stretched out his hand towards Kotomine Kirei.
“So, my friend, even if you entrust your life to me, even if the suffering on this road is better than your previous empty life, even if you have to turn your back on everyone around you, do you still choose to come to me? ?”
“Then, there is only one answer.” Kotomine Kirei bowed his head respectfully, his eyes filled with pale fanaticism, he half knelt down, and kissed the hand that Roland extended.
“I will be loyal to you until the world is shattered, until the heaven of true happiness comes completely.”
“In that case, Kirei, please be happy.”
The most critical condition is half fulfilled, Fuyuki City, it’s really interesting.
Looking at everything about Kotomine Kirei, Roland said calmly: “Go and release yourself to your heart’s content. By then, maybe there will be a way to go to heaven.”
