She carried Sakura Matou back to the side hall and covered her with a quilt. Yuzhongjin sat beside her. She remained silent, just holding her young hand tightly. "What's wrong, Master?" Tamamonomae noticed that Ootenzu was in a strange mood. "Tomorrow is the third day, and we don't have much time left." Yuzhuanjin whispered. "Well, I remember you told Saber's Master that he only had two days. In fact, we only have two days to give them, right?" Tamamonomae understood. "Well, we only have two days. The longer we delay, the greater the danger we will face. Two days from now is the best time. If we delay for longer than that, Gilgamesh will surely be aware of our actions." Nodding slightly, Yu Zhuanjin said. Even though the Holy Grail War always lasted at least seven days, their current target was not the Holy Grail, but Gilgamesh.
As long as he gets the cooperation of Emiya Kiritsugu, the problem of the Holy Grail will be a small matter. If you want to deal with Gilgamesh more safely, you still need to adopt some strategies. "…Lancer." Yuzhuanjin suddenly called out to Diarmait. "What are your orders?" Diarmait just appeared. "Could you please deliver a letter?" Yuzhongjin said: "Oh, buy him some gifts while you're at it." After that, he wrote a piece of paper and gave it to Diarmait with only a few words on it. "to whom?" Diarmait also asked directly. "Of course it's the 'outside master' who was isolated in the Cathedral Church." Miojin's next target is Kotomine Kirei. An existence more troublesome than Emiya Kiritsugu. Although it is not very important and can only be regarded as icing on the cake, but if it can bring even half a chance of winning... …… The next day, at the Cathedral Church. Kotomine Kirei, dressed in a black monk's robe, prays to God in the church every day. His posture is pious but his face is expressionless, and even his eyes seem extremely empty.

Although he was not born into a magic family, he was born with magic circuits because he was "qualified to reproduce the secrets" due to his father's long-term faith. After being sent to the Magic Association, he became a disciple of Tōsaka Tokiomi and learned alchemy, advent, summoning, divination and other magic, but he only just completed the apprenticeship course, and the best he could do was spirit healing. Specializes in "baptismal chant". As Assassin's Master, he announced his retirement on the first day of the Holy Grail Ceremony. He is a friendly person and, as a priest, has helped countless lost people find their Sacred Heart. However, all this is just his superficial appearance. Now no one knows what is inside him. The descriptive word "now" in turn indicates who once knew about it. This man has no heart. Not the beating heart, but the feelings within. When Emiya Kiritsugu saw the photo of Kotomine Kirei for the first time, he knew that the latter was the same kind of person as him, a person who suppressed his emotions to the extreme. But this description is still shallow. Kotomine Kirei is not suppressing his emotions, but he simply does not possess them. Contrary to the beautiful meaning of his name "Kirei", he is born unable to understand the meaning of beauty and happiness. Similar to Emiya Kiritsugu's "love at first sight" for Kotomine Kirei. When Kotomine Kirei saw Emiya Kiritsugu's information, he also saw through the man's nature, and his feelings towards the latter were disgust, incomparable disgust. "According to the church headquarters, the Lesser Holy Grail of this Holy Grail War is the Einzbern family's android, Saber's Master, Irisviel von Einzbern." Kotomine Risei said while standing behind. "There are rumors that Emiya Kiritsugu married the android of the Einzbern family. That android is the Lesser Holy Grail, right?" Hearing this, Kotomine Kirei asked. "Yes, this kind of man is really cruel." Kotomine Risei nodded deeply. Disgust, displeasure, and even anger. Why do I have such confused feelings in my heart? Is it jealousy, or something else? Kotomine Kirei didn't know. Just as he was thinking about this, the church doorbell suddenly rang, without any magical fluctuations. After putting on his monastic robes, Kotomine Kirei opened the door, only to see a young man in green standing outside. The young man asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Kotomine Kirei? Someone reserved five pieces of tofu for you last night, and here is this letter." Seeing this, Kotomine Kirei frowned slightly, first reached out to take the letter, confirmed that there was no magic on it, and then took the bag of tofu.
"Oh, by the way, the man also said that payment should be made on delivery." The guy in green clothes took out the invoice. “……” Damn, what’s wrong? Kotomine Kirei took out his meager salary from his pocket to pay. After sending the delivery boy away, Kotomine Kirei closed the door and walked back to the church. Kotomine Rizheng saw what he was holding and asked, "What are you going to do with the tofu?" "..." Kotomine Kirei said nothing. It was not until Kotomine Risei left that several dark shadows emerged from the darkness around them. "Do you know who it belongs to?" Kotomine Kirei finally spoke at this moment. "Sorry, we are not tracking the target." A female Assassin said. Kotomine Kirei opened the letter, but there was only an address on it. "Hongzhou Yansui Pavilion·Taishan" …… "Great! I didn't expect the local witch to speak Chinese. Hello, I'm the manager of this store, Ba." Located at the corner of the Miyama-cho commercial street, it is the only Chinese restaurant on this street, and the sign in front of the restaurant is "Hongzhou Yansuiguan Taishan". The girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, was wearing a red cheongsam and had two buns on her head. Her name was Ba and she was the manager of this store. Image: "魃", Location: "Images/" The windows in front of the store were tightly closed, and the lights inside the store were dim. Looking around, Yuzhong Jin did not see any other customers. “I spent a long time in Shenzhou, so I learned a little bit.” Miozu came here alone, and even left Tamamonomae in the shrine, asking them to take good care of Matou Sakura. "I inherited this restaurant from my father. I just took over not long ago, so I am not familiar with many of the dishes. I can't make the ones on the wall for now. This list is the current dishes. Please forgive me." Ba took out the menu and handed it to Yu Zhuanjin. Well, at a quick glance, there are only about a dozen items, such as fried rice with egg or boiled pork, and they are generally simpler ones. “No mapo tofu?” Yu Zhuanjin asked. "The one you're talking about ~ Although I have the ingredients, I'm still learning. There's just something wrong with the ingredients. I always fail if I can't control the spiciness."
The store manager Ba said helplessly. "No, the spiciness is a minor issue. Just make it as spicy as you want it to be, and then have a plate of non-spicy egg fried rice." Of course, Yuzhuanjin didn't mind the spiciness of the mapo tofu because that's not what she eats. "Is this really okay?" Ba hesitated. "Ok!" Yuzhongjin nodded deeply. With no other options, Ba had to go into the kitchen and start preparing. "By the way, how old are you?" Yuzhongjin, who was sitting in a seat waiting for someone, asked. "Me? I'm just seventeen." "But I think you're only about fourteen or fifteen." “Everyone who has met me says so.” Ba was very short, only about meters tall, and immediately asked Yu Zhuanjin, "By the way, how about you?" "I am also seventeen..." Yuzhongjin said with a smile. “But I think you are very mature.” Ba lit a fire and started a pot. He first made a simple egg fried rice and handed it to Yu Zhuanjin before entering the kitchen. The door of the shop was pushed open, and Kotomine Kirei looked around, only to see Mizoguchi sitting in the corner, who also waved at him. The soundproof barrier is deployed. "Hello, Master Assassin." Yuzhongjin stood up and said. "Who is your Excellency?" It was the first time that Kotomine Kirei had seen Ootenjin, and he had never seen him in the list of Shinto priests in Japan. It was as if he appeared out of nowhere. "I am Caster's Master." Mizojin motioned for Kotomine Kirei to take a seat. “I have announced my retirement.” Kotomine Kirei said as a reminder.
"But, last night my Caster killed five Assassins alone outside. It's too early for you to announce your retirement when only one Assassin died on the first night." Yuzhongjin tilted his head. In an instant, several dark shadows attacked from all directions, but a figure in blue blocked them all. "You subdued Lancer?" Kotomine Kirei looked towards Diarmait. "No, I'm just borrowing his power temporarily. It can't be considered as conquering him." Yuzhuanjin waved his hand.
