Chapter 7: Kiritsugu Emiya
Mount Miyama
Shirou is seen entering a restaurant to meet someone. This place is infamous for its over use of red peppers in every dish.
In other words, the food is hot.
Very hot.
Imagine being stabbed in the tongue and then having salt rubbed into it, and you'll be on the right track.
"Ah, you're finally here, Shirou Emiya? I came early, so I have already started eating."
On the far left of the restaurant is none other than Kirei Kotomine, eating a plate of Mapo Tofu, though from his perspective it might as well be a boiling pot.
After his discussion with everyone, Shirou had set up a meeting with the false priest in order to confront him about the Holy Grail War. The priest asked him to meet up in a Chinese restaurant this afternoon instead of the church... apparently he is a regular here.
"What's wrong? Don't just stand there and sit down." Kirei said, trying to keep his composure.
He is sweating profoundly and unbuttons his coat; for some reason, he never stops for a drink, spiritedly moving his hands as if they will never move again if he stops.
Actually... is he just being stubborn or is it really that good?
"So, what do you wish to know? I am a busy man, so I do not want people to get attached to me." Kirei asked.
Yet you're meeting up with a teenager in a chinese restaurant...
Shirou takes a deep breath, "why did you lie about the grail?"
Kirei's eating pace doesn't stop, "I did not lie about anything, the grail is a wish-granting device and the war serves as a ritual to summon it."
Shirou glares at Kirei...
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Do you want some?" Kirei asked.
Shirou slams his hands on the table, "no!"
Kirei looks at him confused (or at least as close as you can get), "then what is the problem?"
"Why didn't you tell me that the grail was corrupted?" Shirou asked.
Kirei abruptly stops his pace to look at Shirou slightly surprised though he was able to hide it well, "what are you talking about?" He continues eating his spicy meal.
"My Servant told me what was 'living' inside the grail and what would happen if it granted a wish. He also said that it was because of that wish that resulted in the fire ten years ago."
