An Unknown Fate

Chaoter 23: The truth is only one

Tohsaka House, when Manaka leaves, the sky-rushing fire ignites from the Makiri House.

　　
Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was still in the underground workshop and observed the follow-up situation in Warehouse Street through the enchantment, immediately felt a tremor on the ground, and his expression became vigilant.

　　
At the same time, in the strangely shaped gramophone in front of him, the voice of his disciple Kirei also sounded.

　　
——[Sensei, there seems to be a fire in the direction of the house of Makiri, how is the situation over there?]

　　
"There is no problem on my side for the time being, but is it a Servant..."

　　
Unaware of the signs of an invasion of the enchantment around the mansion, Tohsaka Tokiomi clutched his cane dress, ready to call his followers to his side at any time, his brows furrowed, and his mind began to think rapidly.

　　
As one of the three royal families, the Makiri family should also participate in this Holy Grail War, combined with the subordinate's job introduction that appeared tonight, so the probability of sneaking up on the Makiri family is Caster...

　　
He didn't think that Assassin's assassination would be so vigorous, and coupled with Kotomine Kirei's words, and the magical explosion-like reaction he sensed at the moment of Fangcai's shock, Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn't help but attribute tonight's attack on the Makiri family to the unknown Caster.

　　
However, as Caster does not stay in his workshop but chooses to take the initiative, what is the other party's Master thinking?

　　
There was no intention of confirming the casualties of the Makiri family, and the moment the Holy Grail War began, the Sajyou was already in a position of confrontation with each other.

While thinking about everything that happened tonight, Tohsaka Tokiomi unconsciously rubbed the bright red gem on his cane.

　　
But before he could come to any conclusion, a proud and majestic voice suddenly sounded in the underground workshop.

　　
"You're still as boring as ever,Tokiomi. I have been standing in place stupidly, I plan to perform some after-show for me. "

　　
In the air, a faint light gradually gathered, and soon, Gilgamesh's proud figure in armor suddenly appeared in the workshop, but he did not look in the direction of Tosaka Tokiomi, but as if he was still thinking about something, his eyes were staring ahead.

　　
"Please forgive my faux pas, O king. However, one of the contestants in this Holy Grail War, the Makiri family, has just been attacked, and it is very likely that the enemy's Servants are still lingering around..."

　　
After Tohsaka Tokiomi reacted, he quickly bent down and said respectfully, but before he could finish his words, Gilgamesh interrupted him with a somewhat impatient wave of his hand.

　　
"Do you really think that someone would be stupid enough to do such a thing as staying on the scene after a successful sneak attack?"

　　
"I was foolish. But please dare me to ask...king, your mood seems to be good tonight. "

　　
Tohsaka Tokiomi asked with some confusion, after all, according to the past few days of getting along, the hero king Gilgamesh in front of him has always been a "solipsistic" character in his impression, and even the weekday conversations are always filled with a high-minded posture.

　　
And now, although Gilgamesh still has a sense of arrogance in his communication with him, it is more like a conversation between a king and his courtiers than a tyrant who disdains everything.

　　
Indeed, because he accidentally discovered something interesting,he is indeed in a good mood now.

　　
"So cheer,Tokiomi.I decided to be a little more serious in this game, and if you behaved a little better,I would not mind rewarding you with such a useless thing as the Holy Grail at that time. "

Gilgamesh hooked the corners of his mouth, looking at the man in front of him who always tried his best to maintain an elegant posture, full of respect for himself on the surface, but in fact had selfish desires, the surprised look that showed at this moment, he couldn't help but feel that the other party was also qualified as a clown.

　　
“...... This is really terrifying. So, to celebrate your imminent grail war, allow me to prepare some great wines for you. "

　　
With a wave of his hand to signal Tohsaka Tokiomi to step down, Gilgamesh felt a little bored again at the other party's intention to suppress his joy and continue to maintain a respectful appearance.

　　
And after Tohsaka Tokiomi left the workshop and went to the wine cellar, Gilgamesh originally planned to go to the living room first to think about the origin of the divine aura on the mysterious boy disguised as Lancer, but at this moment, he seemed to remember something and chuckled.

　　
"Speaking of which, you should have seen everything that happened tonight, right?"

　　
The king's slightly pleasant voice echoed in the air, and it was not until a few seconds later that the deep voice of Kotomine Kirei came from the gramophone.

　　
——[...... Yes, Your Excellency, King of Heroes. ]

　　
"So, don't you have anything to say?"

　　
- [What do you mean?]

　　
"Heh, pretending to be stupid this kind of thing I has already seen a crappy actor tonight, so it's better to save it." It's not a mistake to be honest with what you think in your heart. "

　　
In the face of Gilgamesh's words that seemed to contain some kind of inducing meaning, Kirei, who had been investigating the situation in the dark tonight, was silent for a while before continuing to speak.

　　
- ["Holy Spear" Longinus ... If the words of that one are true, his true identity is His Excellency St. Longinus. As a result, the Church may no longer be able to stand in a neutral position after tonight. And I personally, I should no longer be able to assist my master..."

"Is that all?"

　　
——[...... Of course, if I can, I would like to meet with that Excellency. If he were really a saint who was inspired by the "Son" and repented, he would surely have given the answer I have been seeking. ]

　　
"In that case, just do it. With that kid's personality, maybe he can really give you other answers. "

　　
Gilgamesh's mouth curves with pleasure, an empty man with an empty heart who does not know the emotions of the world, and a sincere person with a pure temperament and a flawless soul.

　　
How will these two react when they meet... Is the former directly influenced by the latter, or the former despairs of his inner emptiness after contact with the latter, and blooms more filthy flowers...

　　
Either way, it was much more interesting than the answer he had originally wanted to give Kirei.

　　
"As a 'punishment' for you to meet King  in a disguised manner, let him see how you will face such spiritual displacement. "

　　
There was a little more expectation in his eyes, but the smile had not yet fully emerged, and Gilgamesh seemed to remember something, frowning and sniffing the air, slightly bored and puzzled.

　　
"Although this era has its own cuteness, sure enough... The air of the city is filled with a disgusting smell. Where the hell did it come from..."
