Shinji's furious cursing naturally alarmed Scathach who lived next door to him.
The Demon Queen who had transformed into a spirit and passed through the wall looked at her disciple and master who jumped up from the ground and hurriedly put on her clothes, and asked curiously, "What happened? It sounds like it's related to Sakura's biological father."
"Well, something happened that was beyond my expectations. I'll go check it out right away." Shinji put on his coat hastily and ran out without brushing his teeth or washing his face.
"Would you like me to come with you?"
"No, Master, just rest and recover. I'll be back in an hour at most. By the way, tell uncle not to make breakfast. I'll bring takeout on the way."
At the end of the voice, Shinji had already rushed to the entrance, and his hurried look made Scathach confused for a while.
"It seems like something really big has happened, but... Shinji doesn't seem to have much to do with the battle situation. What's the reason?"
I have to praise Scathach's keen eyes. Although she didn't know what happened, her judgment was not wrong at all. Whether Tōsaka Tokiomi died or not, it really didn't have much impact on the battle situation.
The main force of the Holy Grail War is still the Servants. When Tokiomi died, Gilgamesh simply replaced his Master with Kotomine Kirei. Although Kotomine Kirei is more powerful in combat, Tokiomi has never used magic to the outside world. Shinji's understanding of him is based on a single attack in "FateZero" and an analysis of Rin's magic characteristics in "Fatestaynight". However, that is only a description in literary works, and Rin in "Fatestaynight" lost her father at the age of seven. Half of her magic and combat were taught by Kirei, and the other half were explored by herself. The reference value is limited, and Tokiomi's strength is still a mystery.
The unknown is the biggest variable. Shinji really doesn't dare to say that Tōsaka Tokiomi is easier to deal with than Kotomine Kirei.
Besides, what Shinji cares about is not the war situation, but his uncle Kariya's lifelong event, and whether he can change from a lovely sister to two lovely sisters... ... Ahem, this is just a by-product, a by-product.
Yustisa was currently lurking beside Irisviel, so the information she obtained could not be wrong. Since Emiya Kiritsugu confirmed that Kotomine Kirei had left, then Kotomine Kirei must have left. And with Kiritsugu's caution and vigilance towards Kirei, he might have even anticipated the destination, the time on the way, whether there would be a transfer, and whether there would be a return trip.
In this way, the possibility of Kotomine Kirei becoming Gilgamesh's new Master is very low. After all, Servants rely on their Masters to maintain their present world. Although they can act independently without their Masters, the farther they are away, the more difficult it is to supply magic power, unless there is a high-level independent action to offset it. This is also the reason why most Masters will not be too far away from their Servants.
However, no matter how high the skill level is, there is a limit. Even if Gilgamesh has an A-level independent action, it cannot offset the distance of half the world. So, if Tokiomi is not dead and continues to serve as Gilgamesh's master, and Kirei did not backstab Tokiomi last night, but just said goodbye to Tokiomi in a normal way, this is the most reasonable answer.
Of course, the current situation has exceeded Shinji's expectations, and he dare not assert that his speculation is correct. He needs to see it with his own eyes.
There was no need to go into the Tōsaka house and see Tokiomi himself, just observe him from the outside for a few minutes.
In order to prevent the barrier at home from being cracked, Toosaka Tokiomi has the habit of adjusting the barrier structure every morning. Therefore, as long as he checks whether there are any signs of changes in the barrier, he can infer whether Toosaka Tokiomi is alive.
More than ten minutes later, Shinji got the answer—Tōsaka Tokiomi was indeed alive, and not only alive, but also reading leisurely in the study.
Seeing this, Shinji really wanted to take out the "Thunder of Indra" and blast Tōsaka Tokiomi into pieces, but he couldn't. Regardless of whether Gilgamesh was guarding nearby, the fact that he killed Tokiomi with his own hands was equivalent to putting himself on the opposite side of Sakura, Rin, and Aoi, and it was an unsolvable knot.
Ah, what on earth was wrong with Kotomine Kirei? Why didn't he kill Tokiomi? What about Gilgamesh? Wasn't he also very dissatisfied with Tokiomi? Why didn't he do anything
Shinji, who does not have the ability to see into the future, naturally does not know about the unknown changes that have taken place in Kirei, nor does he know that the world line had already shifted before he arrived.
He is now buying breakfast while thinking about what to do next.
The original plan was very simple and can be summarized in one sentence: follow the original plot, watch Kotomine Kirei and Gilgamesh wreak havoc, and then come out and reap the benefits when they are almost dead.
But it’s no longer possible. Tokiomi is not Kirei, and he won’t do anything so crazy. It’s very likely that he will do the same as before, carefully investigating, collecting intelligence, and then eliminating them one group at a time. The Saber group and the Rider group should also use the same strategy.
Rider currently poses the highest threat, and since Waver does not have a workshop, he should be targeted first. If I remember correctly, Kiritsugu has already started to target Waver. However, although Rider looks rough and stupid, he is actually careful and resourceful. It is very likely that he will take Waver away if he senses something is wrong. He has excellent mobility, so it is not difficult for him to leave.
It was Kariya's turn next. Every Master knew the address of the Matou family, and there were several familiars watching the door. Although the master had used runes to strengthen the defense of the Matou family, this defense was not impeccable. At least Saber, Archer, and Rider all had the ability to break through. Moreover, once an attack was launched on the Matou family, the relationship between the master and the Matou family would be exposed, and then Saber and Archer might really form an alliance.
Thinking of this, Shinji's heart skipped a beat.
This is not good. We must think of a way. Is there any way to make Saber, Archer, and Rider fight each other first? It would be best if Archer first kills Rider and then injures Saber, just like the plot. At this time, Uncle and Berserker take the opportunity to come in, save Saber, defeat Archer and fulfill their wish, and the injured Saber is killed by the Master, and finally the Holy Grail is obtained.
Wait, plot
Shinji's eyes suddenly gleamed with a sharp light, which scared the waiter who delivered the food.
I was confused. Why did I have to position myself as a bystander and put my involvement at the end? I could have taken the initiative to jump in and push the plot forward.
At this moment, Shinji seemed to have opened a new door, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.
Yes, and no one decided the script in advance, so I can change it according to my own ideas - Kotomine Kirei has left, and his job can be done by me.
Since it’s different from what we agreed, don’t blame me for not playing by the rules. Let me make a big scene next.
PS: I will update more if the average subscription reaches 600. That’s all for today. If it exceeds that mark tomorrow, I will continue to update. I will never go back on my word.
PS2: You must be subscribed to post this chapter after it is put on the shelves. I have not subscribed to my book so I cannot reply directly, but I can see it in the background. If you have any questions in the future, I will reply in the form of PS or something like that.
PS3: Please rest assured, Tokiomi lives for a more miserable ending. As the king of pot in this world, how can he have an easy life
