Chapter 50

Kiritsugu lays down on the bed after using the toilet and uses a self-hypnotic spell to spread his consciousness.

This is the barbaric method that can remove mental stress all together - the disintegration and cleansing of the spirit.

Although self-hypnosis is not a high-level magic technique, it will cause a certain loss of self-awareness and disconnection when it is released, so many people are reluctant to use this kind of magic.

However, for Emiya Kiritsugu, as long as it is the most efficient way to rest, it is the best, so he uses this method very frequently.

After about two hours, the dissipated consciousness will return, and the hypnotized person will wake up naturally.

However, during this time, the body of the hypnotized person was in a completely unconscious state of walking dead, and it should be safe to use in this hidden place now.

After relaxing and clearing the appearance of the enemy from his consciousness, Kiritsugu fell into a deep sleep.

The street outside the window starts a new day with the morning sun.

...

"Looks like you're in a pretty good mood today, Archer. "

As usual, as if he was in his own home, the glittering golden Servant, who sat casually in Kotomine Kirei's private room, had been wearing an unpredictable smile since the morning for some reason.

Under normal circumstances, when a person is smiling, he often infects the people around him and makes the surrounding atmosphere soften, but unfortunately Kirei is not the kind of character who likes to see other people's smiles, not to mention that the smile on the face of the hero king in front of him can only be reminiscent of some uneasy things.

"I'm a person who likes arrogant opponents. A person who is not confined to his own abilities and has great ambitions. Whenever I see an opponent like that, I am very happy. "

Looking at Kirei with a puzzled expression, Archer continued as he shook the glass containing the red wine leisurely.

"But there are two kinds of arrogance. One is too low-level, and the other is unusually ambitious. The former is very stupid, and the latter is a rare and precious species. "

"It's just stupid anyway, right?"

"Isn't this rare stupidity even more precious than the wisdom of the world? Though born as a human being, he has an ideal that is too great to attain by human power, and in order to realize this ideal, he can only give up his identity as a human being—no matter how many times I have seen it, I will never get tired of seeing it, the sorrow and despair of such a person. "

Archer raised his glass as if celebrating something, and then elegantly drank the red wine inside.

"Kirei, it seems that you have a big misunderstanding of the master-Servant relationship between me and Tokiomi. The minister treated me as a courtesy from a courtier to a king, and at the same time offered magic as a tribute. It was because of this contract that I agreed to obey his call. Don't compare me to other lackey-like Servants. "

"So, what do you do with the command of the spell?"

"I don't care... It was only if the courtier had fulfilled his duty as a courtier, and occasionally the king would listen to his advice. "

Kirei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If Gilgamesh knew the true purpose of this Holy Grail War... I'm afraid that the contractual relationship with the ministers will be flawed.

Of course, if that time really comes, the Tokiomi who has the spell will definitely gain an overwhelming advantage.

"Tell me about what you've found, Kirei. "

Kirei had no choice but to briefly tell the other party the information of each master she had.

After hearing the motives of the other five, Archer said disdainfully.

"It's just a bunch of crumbs, after all. None of them had any creative ideas, just trying to snatch my treasures for some boring reason... They are all thieves who should be executed directly without discussion. "

Hearing Archer's unusually arrogant words, Kirei sighed helplessly.

"Is this the only thing I have to think about the information that others have worked so hard to get? It seems that I have been tossed in vain. "

"What is the toss for nothing?".

The Hero King said with a meaningful smile on his face.

"What are you talking about, Kirei. Haven't you and the Assassins worked hard to get a lot of results? "

"What do you mean?" Kirei frowned.

Archer said leisurely.

"- Unconscious guys, just simply pursuing instinctive pleasures. It's like those beasts that chase the smell of blood. This emotion in their hearts will be intuitively expressed in their words and deeds. So, Kirei. When you retell all the things you have heard, seen, and understood through Yourself, you have fully revealed your inner thoughts. The part of your language that describes it in the most detail is the part that interests you the most. In other words, observing a person's words and deeds is the best way to understand his interests. Human beings are such toys, and life is such stories... There's really no more fun way to be entertained. "

"Instinctive... Pleasure?".

Kirei repeated the word as if under a spell under Archer's words, as if a new door was opening before his eyes.

...

It was already night, and after a boring day of school life, Shirou left home with Lancer.

"Master, where are we going now?".

Diarmuid asked curiously as he looked at Shirou, who was riding on a motorcycle after his body was enhanced with magic and appeared as a teenager.

Hearing his words, Shirou smiled and put his hands on the grips of the motorcycle.

Then the motorcycle roared.

Buzz ————!

At the same time, Shirou's voice mingled.

"Let's join in the fun!".

The next moment, the motorcycle started suddenly, dragging billowing black smoke, riding in the dust!

...

Running straight west from the bustling streets of Fuyuki City, there is an east-west national highway that crosses the mountains far from the village.

The highway is lined with dense forests, and the forest area seems to have been forgotten by the surging land development boom.

The land may be state-owned, but it appears from the land register to be privately owned by a foreign-owned company, and it is uncertain whether the foreign-owned enterprise actually exists.

If you have to investigate this land, the first thing that makes people puzzled is this magical urban legend.
