Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 59

"You have no sincerity at all, Mr. Magus Killer," Shirou said, his tone cold.

Faced with the pressure of life and death on the first night, it seemed that Shirou had been forced to tap into a new level of courage. He felt that his courage had grown a lot.

In the past, when he stood on stage and spoke, he would be so nervous that he couldn't speak properly, but now that Kiritsugu had a gun aimed at his head, his heart rate had only accelerated a little, and he could still speak cohesively. It could be said that people's potential is only brought out under pressure.

"You're not so different, are you?"

"This won't work. I certainly can't trust you, and you certainly can't trust me. But we're in this together, I can't escape Assassin's pursuit, and you can't hide from Tokiomi's pursuit. It's mutually destructive," Shirou said, his voice low.

"How about a Geis?"

"I don't have a faith in Mr. Kiritsugu's Geis," Shirou said: "How about signing mine?"

"I don't believe you either."

"So, what's the solution? The consequences are clear - if we continue to mistrust each other, we both lose. Is that a fair trade-off?" Shirou questioned. "If Mr. Kiritsugu can demonstrate a little genuineness, I am willing to put my trust in you, at least for the time being."

Kiritsugu paused for a moment before taking action, firmly grasping Shirou's sword and snapping it in half. He then returned his own gun to its holster.

Shirou was surprised: "You truly have the courage."

"As you point out, if we don't take this step, there is no hope of survival."

"Since you have demonstrated your sincerity, I will do the same. If you can manage to eliminate Tohsaka Tokiomi. I am willing to forfeit the Holy Grail War."

Kiritsugu furrowed his brows, "What do you mean?"

"Mr. Kiritsugu, now that you have seen through my true identity, you must also know that this body I have descended upon is that of my Master. As a hero, how could I possibly participate in this dangerous Holy Grail War using my Master's body? So, from the moment I descended, I had planned to withdraw. But that Archer, he actually threatened to kill my Master if I did not participate in this Holy Grail War!" Shirou said, filled with anger at the thought of Gilgamesh's coercion.

"As long as you kill Tokiomi, I will willingly withdraw from the Holy Grail War, Mr. Kiritsugu," Shirou said.

"I see," Kiritsugu nodded, indicating that he understood. But in reality, he didn't trust a word of it.

This Caster was even more dirty and cunning than Kiritsugu had thought. He figured that out of every ten words Caster spoke, at least ten of them were lies. Even if any of his words were true, was there a safer way to withdraw than by dying?

Yes. Kiritsugu had already planned to kill Tokiomi and then immediately attack Shirou, forcing him to withdraw.

But what Kiritsugu didn't know was that Shirou had the same plan.

By saying these words, Shirou was showing his sincerity while also expressing his hatred for Gilgamesh. However, this did not mean that he would let Kiritsugu off the hook.

Kiritsugu had almost killed him twice, he is not a saint, and therefore it is understandable that Shirou harbors feelings of hatred towards him. He had already made up his mind to first kill Tokiomi, then immediately launch a surprise attack on Kiritsugu, beheading him with one swift strike of his sword, and finally leave Fuyuki City with a sense of satisfaction.
