Chapter 23 Taking the opportunity to kidnap Sakura

　　After finishing the task, Haru quickly left the church.

　　However, he was not worried that what he was doing here would be discovered by Kotomine Kirei.

　　Because Kotomine Kirei is currently secretly watching the duel between Matou Kariya and Tōhsaka Tokiomi.

　　According to the records in the original work, in this Holy Grail War, besides being particularly interested in Emiya Kiritsugu, Kotomine Kirei's second interest was in Matou Kariya.

　　Because through his observation of Assassin, he found that Matou Kariya was a very vulgar person.

　　He participated in the Holy Grail War because he fell in love with Tohsaka Tokiomi's wife, and wanted to save Sakura who was adopted into the Matou family.

　　He made an agreement with Zouken Matou that if he got the Holy Grail, Zouken Matou would return Sakura to him.

　　Therefore, in order to improve his magical potential, he accepted the means of being transformed by the engraving worm, and thus tortured himself to the point where he was neither human nor ghost.

　　Kotomine Kirei is very interested in the painful life of Matou Kariya.

　　Under Gilgamesh's joyful stimulation, he understood his own heart more and more.

　　That is to take pleasure in the suffering of others.

　　Watching Matou Kariya's painful struggle, he felt very happy in his heart.

　　Therefore, tonight is the final battle between Matou Kariya and the person he hates the most, the person who stole his childhood sweetheart and put Sakura in a dangerous situation, the man named Tōhsaka Tokiomi.

　　"It's all Tokiomi's fault!" Matou Kariya roared.

　　Therefore, he ordered the Berserker Lancelot to seize the American plane and attack directly towards the heroic king Gilgamesh who was flying the golden boat in the sky.

　　In order to focus on dealing with Lancelot, Gilgamesh asked Tōhsaka Tokiomi to jump off the golden boat.

　　Then, Tōhsaka Tokiomi, who had landed, started a decisive battle with Matou Kariya, who was lurking on the ground, on the bridge of the tram tunnel.

　　Matou Kariya blames Tōhsaka Tokiomi, why did he send Sakura into the tiger's den?

　　And Tohsaka Tokiomi said lightly: "Their mother is really an excellent mother. She actually gave birth to two daughters with such good qualifications."

　　"But the magician's heritage has always been the same, and can only be passed down to one person. How do you want me to choose?"

　　"At this time, the old man of the Matou family extended an olive branch and wanted to adopt someone as an heir."

　　"I heard that among the three great families pursuing the Holy Grail, two of them have the blood of the Tohsaka family flowing in their veins, right?"

　　"Won't both sisters be able to participate in the next Holy Grail War? That's a two-in-seven chance! How wonderful!"

　　"Asshole! Do you want these two sisters to kill each other?" Matou Kariya roared.

　　"To be able to die for the long-cherished wish of the Toosaka family, isn't that decided when they are born?" Tohsaka Tokiomi said with a smile.

　　"How can a layman like you understand the romance of our magic world?"

　　"Asshole... Just because of a mere demonic path, you separated the three of them, mother and daughter, and made them cry! You deserve to die!" Matou Kariya roared.

　　Immediately afterwards, Matou Kariya rushed towards Tōhsaka Tokiomi without caring about his life.

　　But Tohsaka Tokiomi's fire magic is the nemesis of his insect magic.

　　Soon, Matou Kariya was defeated.

　　Kotomine Kirei was peeking at the side, an expression of great joy on his face.

　　Looking at the helplessness of Matou Kariya and his wails of pain, Kotomine Kirei actually felt excited.

　　Soon, Matou Kariya was defeated by Tōhsaka Tokiomi. He wailed and fell down in pain.

　　Fell into a tunnel nearby.

　　At this time, although the Chimera summoned by Circe was destroyed, Lancelot lost control due to the defeat of Matou Kariya.

　　After destroying Gilgamesh's golden boat, he turned around and attacked Artoria on the river.

　　Therefore, the scene suddenly turned into everyone attacking Lancelot, the madman.

　　A lot of time was wasted before Artoria, Diarmuid and Iskandar worked together to defeat Lancelot, who then turned into a spirit and escaped.

　　Tohsaka Tokiomi stood on the tunnel bridge, watching the servants fighting in the distance.

　　Then he left satisfied.

　　For him, being able to deal with Caster tonight would be satisfying.

　　After Tōhsaka Tokiomi left, Kotomine Kirei quietly ran into the tunnel and picked up Matou Kariya.

　　Matou Kariya's injuries are too severe, and if no one rescues him, he will die sooner or later.

　　But Kotomine Kirei wanted to save him when he saw him.

　　He didn't know why he saved him, but deep down he felt that it would be more fun if he kept him alive!

　　Therefore, he spent a lot of time to save Matou Kariya.

　　Kotomine Kirei's healing skills are very advanced. Although it is time-consuming and laborious, it is not a problem to call Matou Kariya back from the brink of death.

　　It was not until midnight that he rescued Matou Kariya.

　　Then he carried Matou Kariya and sent him back to the door of Matou's house.

　　He threw Matou Kariya directly on the ground at the door and left him there, then slowly walked away.

　　Keep giving me more fun~!

　　Kotomine Kirei thought so in his heart.

　　…

　　As soon as Kotomine Kirei left, Haru and Circe, who had been lying in ambush nearby, came out.

　　"Look, Berserker's master is now in a coma, so can we do whatever we want?" Haru said with a smile.

　　"Oh! Are we going to take this opportunity to kill Berserker's Master?" Circe laughed.

　　"No, no, no! He is not a bad guy, he is a pitiful man. I have no interest in attacking such a person. I want to take advantage of Berserker losing his combat effectiveness and rush in to rob him!" Haru said with a smile.

　　"Robbery?" Circe was even more confused.

　　She couldn't understand Haru's train of thought at all.

　　Then, Haru asked Circe to draw a barrier around Matou Kariya to prevent him from suddenly waking up and causing trouble.

　　Then Circe broke the barrier of the Matou family and rushed in directly.

　　Circe was responsible for making a big fuss here to attract the attention of Matou Zouken, while Haru used [Breath Concealment] to move around in Matou's house, looking for Sakura's location.

　　The reason why Haru waited until now to take action was entirely because Matou Kariya was as powerful as Berserker, and he also obeyed Matou Zōken's orders. If he came to snatch Sakura, Matou Kariya would definitely stop him.

　　No matter if it was because he was controlled by the brain worm or because he was worried about taking Sakura away with him, Matou Kirei would definitely stop him.

　　In order to make things go more smoothly, it would be easiest to wait until Matou Kariya is disabled before attacking!

　　And there is no way that old guy Matou Zouken could stop Circe's attack.

　　As soon as Circe came in, she used magic bullets to bombard the Matou family.

　　Because the incident happened suddenly, Matou Zouken had no time to move everything in the Matou family and had to fight hastily.

　　"Kareya, you useless piece of shit…get up and fight!" Matou Zouken roared.

　　But they received no response from Matou Kariya, who was trapped in the barrier and still unconscious.

　　He had to deal with Circe on his own.

　　But how can humans be a match for Servants?

　　While Circe and Matou Zouken were fighting, Haru searched every room in Matou's house.

　　He found Sakura still sleeping obediently in her own room.

　　"Little girl! Come with me to see your mother!" Haru said with a smile.
