"Father, do you know about the Holy Grail War?" "Oh--?" Father Kotomine seemed to have heard something interesting. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became different. He closed the book in front of him and looked at Emiya Shirou carefully. He knew Emiya Shirou, there was no way he hadn't taken the time to pay attention to the man he was fighting. Kotomine Kirei also naturally knew that the man had saved a child from the fire and raised the child. But Kotomine Kirei also knew that the man would not live long, and there was no reason for him to fight him anymore, so he just let it go. After that man died, Kotomine Kirei basically never paid any attention to the child that man adopted. Although he no longer paid attention to it, Kotomine Kirei was aware of Emiya Shirou's existence. What no one expected was that Shirou Emiya, who originally had almost no magical fluctuations on his body, was now like a sun shining with incomparably brilliant light, with magical aura surging all over his body. It seemed to be announcing its existence to the entire Fuyuki City.

Kotomine Kirei didn't even need to go out to feel the magical aura emanating from Emiya Shirou in his own home. After all, there isn't that much magic power in Shirou Emiya's body, not so much that it's surprising. At most, it's just surprising that a person who is not from a magic family can possess so much magic power. His magic power is only at the level of a normal magician. It is impossible for him to have such a distinct presence. Even if Kotomine Kirei wanted to ignore it, he couldn't, and even subconsciously looked towards Emiya Shirou's position. Whether it was Emiya Shirou's sudden surge in magic power or the strange presence of his magic, it aroused Kotomine Kirei's interest. Of course, what made him happiest was that Shirou Emiya actually asked about the Holy Grail War. "Holy Grail War? Do you want to ask about just the Holy Grail War, or the Holy Grail War that happened nine years ago?" Kotomine Kirei asked Emiya Shirou with an almost unnoticeable smile on his face in the dim environment. "!" "Did the Holy Grail War take place in Fuyuki City nine years ago?" Shirou Emiya's pupils suddenly shrank. He thought that since his world and that world were parallel worlds, then there was also a Holy Grail War in this world. What Shirou Emiya didn't expect was that the Holy Grail War also took place in Fuyuki City nine years ago. After all, because of the parallel universe, Shirou Emiya naturally believed that the Holy Grail War should take place in Romania. "?" Now it was Kotomine Kirei's turn to have confusion written all over his face. Did Shirou Emiya come to the Cathedral Church just because he heard the words "Holy Grail War"? Chapter 295: The Truth of Flame "What happened in the Holy Grail War nine years ago?" Shirou Emiya's expression also became extremely serious. He had a feeling that the fire nine years ago might be related to the Holy Grail War.

Although it was reported that it was a gas explosion, it caused such a large area of ​​ruins and caused such a fire that consumed countless lives. The disaster in which I was the only one to survive didn't seem to be that simple. After going through so much, Shirou Emiya had a vague feeling in his heart that such a disaster might not be caused by nature. Shirou Emiya was well aware of the fighting power of those heroic spirits. Although he did not see it with his own eyes, he was aware that a town like that was destroyed just like that. If there had been a Holy Grail War nine years ago, such destruction and such disaster might have been caused only by the Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirits. "Young man, your adoptive father is Emiya Kiritsugu, right?" Without answering Emiya Shirou's question, Kotomine Kirei placed the book in his hand on the podium beside him, turned his back and spoke slowly. "Yes, but what does this have to do with the Holy Grail War you mentioned?" Shirou Emiya was suddenly stunned. Nine years ago, during the Holy Grail War, there was a fire, and Kiritsugu Emiya appeared in the ruins without any injuries. Just by being guided to think about it for a while, Shirou Emiya knew what the priest wanted to express? "I think you have already figured it out, Emiya Kiritsugu. He was a participant in the Holy Grail War nine years ago, and the winner of the final Holy Grail War." "impossible!" The moment Kotomine Kirei finished speaking, Emiya Shirou's expression quickly became agitated and he refuted. "Oh why?" Kotomine Kirei did not immediately refute Emiya Shirou, but wanted to hear what he actually knew about the Holy Grail War. Previously, because I was not sure how much Shirou Emiya knew about the Holy Grail War, I accidentally let some things out. Although these things were no secret to Kotomine Kirei. "The Holy Grail is an omnipotent wish-granting machine. If Kiritsugu had obtained the Holy Grail, that fire would not have happened!" Emiya Shirou believed in Kiritsugu immensely. What's more, Shirou Emiya had used the Holy Grail before. At the last moment, Shirou Emiya saw that all the dead residents had revived before he walked towards the door and left that parallel world. "But the truth is not what you think. As the judge of the Holy Grail War, I can tell you very clearly that Emiya Kiritsugu, the man who took the Holy Grail, was indeed the winner of the Holy Grail War nine years ago." There was a hint of nostalgia in Kotomine Kirei's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Shirou Emiya covered his head, feeling a little overwhelmed. If Kotomine Kirei did not lie, then Kiritsugu was the winner of the Holy Grail War nine years ago. Then he also made a wish to the Holy Grail like himself, but, but. The sea of ​​fire, the ruins, and the man who opened the ruins. Emiya Shirou's fragmented memories were pieced together in his mind, wondering why he was walking towards such a hellish place at that time. "Father Kotomine, do you know what wish Kiritsugu made?" While Emiya Shirou was unable to notice him, Kotomine Kirei smiled slightly, turned around, and walked in front of Emiya Shirou.

He spoke to Emiya Shirou in his magnetic and infectious language. "I am just an adjudicator, and the first Master to be eliminated in the Holy Grail War nine years ago. I don't know the truth about the fire that year." Devil-like words sounded in a low voice in front of Emiya Shirou. "If you want to know the truth about the fire nine years ago, why not go and find it yourself." As if handing over an important task to someone else, Kotomine Kirei placed his hand on Emiya Shirou's shoulder. "But I know almost nothing about the Holy Grail War nine years ago." Emiya Shirou did not doubt what Kotomine Kirei said, although he felt very uncomfortable and he seemed unable to develop any good feelings towards him, and his body even felt a sense of rejection the moment it touched him. But what Kotomine Kirei told him was real. He was just a magus who knew nothing, and he was willing to tell him these things that he shouldn't know. Shirou Emiya would still be grateful. Kotomine Kirei slowly lowered his body, put his mouth close to Emiya Shirou's ear, and spoke in a very soft voice. "The Tousaka family and the Matou family participated in the last Holy Grail War." Emiya Shirou's pupils shrank rapidly. He could hardly believe what Kotomine Kirei said to him. But after Kotomine Kirei finished speaking softly, he ignored Emiya Shirou's shocked expression and slowly walked towards the church entrance. There was no pause in the pace. "Father Kotomine, where are you going?" Looking at Kotomine Kirei who had no intention of staying, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but ask. Isn't this his church? "Mapo Tofu——!" A word that made Emiya Shirou somewhat confused came out of Kotomine Kirei's mouth. "what is that?" "It is a Chinese delicacy that combines fragrance, numbness, softness, tenderness and spiciness. It is a delicacy that makes people feel happy physically and mentally." "?" Emiya Shirou was a little confused about what Kotomine Kirei was talking about. Weren't they just talking about the Holy Grail War? How did they suddenly talk about Mapo Tofu? He knew that Mapo Tofu was a dish, but suddenly mentioning Mapo Tofu like this—— Shirou Emiya's CPU is having trouble transferring. He hadn't yet processed the information he had just received, and now he was faced with something so confusing that it left him speechless. "Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" The rat-like sound attracted the attention of Kotomine Kirei who came to the church door.

Following the sound, I saw a dignified woman with twin ponytails, a black headband, and wearing a red coat standing at the side of the door of the cathedral. Her eyes were filled with anger as she looked at Kotomine Kirei who had just walked out of the church. "Why did you reveal the Holy Grail War to Shirou Emiya?" "The Holy Grail War is no secret among magicians. Since Shirou Emiya, a magician, has asked about it, the Holy Church has an obligation to answer his questions." "But you, Toosaka, as the administrator of Fuyuki City, you seem to have not taken any action yet when a magician like this appeared in Fuyuki." Kotomine Kirei paid no attention to the questioning from the woman in front of him, and instead questioned her in return. "Shut up!" For some reason, she seemed to feel disgusted with the man in front of her from the bottom of her heart. Although she was the guardian who had always taken care of him, she seemed to not want to see Kotomine Kirei at all. "You whispered something in Emiya Shirou's ear!" Kotomine Kirei shifted his gaze slightly, and in the hands of the girl with twin ponytails was a hamster that had always looked extremely ordinary. But he quickly retracted his gaze and looked straight at her. "I just told Shirou Emiya that I was going to leave the church and enjoy some mapo tofu, but can you just let him investigate the Holy Grail War?" Chapter 296: Encounter on the Street (Edited) "Tousaka, Matou, the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu, and the flame." Shirou Emiya muttered to himself as he walked down the street. The sudden amount of information made him at a loss as to what to think. He didn't know where to start. Emiya Shirou did not ask Kotomine Kirei because he wanted to fulfill his wish once again. On the contrary, he wanted to prevent the birth of the Holy Grail War and asked for information about it. The destruction caused by the Holy Grail War is too great, and no matter where the Holy Grail War occurs, Shirou Emiya wants to go and stop it. Unlike before, Shirou Emiya now has the power to prevent the Holy Grail War from breaking out. Since he can do it and since he already knows it. Emiya Shirou thought that he shouldn't just sit there and do nothing. But he didn't expect that the Holy Grail War took place in Fuyuki City nine years ago. This news is really unexpected. "Tousaka?" Shirou Emiya heard the boys in the school talking about a woman named Toosaka Rin. She seemed to be very beautiful and was loved by the boys in the school. Moreover, Yanagi Kazunari seemed to hate her very much. When communicating with Yanagi Kazunari, he directly called Toosaka Rin a "fox girl". However, in all these days, Shirou Emiya has never seen Toosaka Rin in school. Shirou Emiya didn't care about a student he had never met. He would not stay in the school for a long time, so he was not interested in some rumors in the school.

It was not until Kotomine Kirei mentioned the last name Toosaka to Emiya Shirou that Emiya Shirou remembered that there seemed to be such a person in the school. "call----!" A gentle breeze blew towards Emiya Shirou who was looking down in thought. Although Shirou Emiya lowered his head, he could still feel whether someone was walking in front of him, so he was not worried about bumping into anyone.
