Chapter 146

"What else could happen? He was directly ambushed and calculated to death."]

"Damn it, it feels so suffocating, the dignified Child of Light exited the stage just like this......"]

"Am I the only one curious about what those tentacles, things like mud, are?"]

"It feels so strong, Lancer lost his reaction ability as soon as he was entangled."]

"......"]

People were a bit dazed, that strong and invincible Lancer died just like this, died so sloppily.]

That is one of the strongest in this Holy Grail War, a Lancer-class Servant, the Gae Bolg that can be thrown seven times, and has A-rank Battle Continuation, still able to fight for days after losing his heart.]

However, his strength was not exerted, and he was entangled by evil things and exited the stage.]

......]

[In the scarred crater, a beautiful bird suddenly appeared.]

[It sang, pouring out its grievances.]

[As if mourning the soul of the "Child of Light" in Irish mythology.]

[Finally, it stayed here for a long time before flying away.]

[Turning into a wisp of clear light, disappearing into the depths of the dawn, at the end of the sky.]

"Is this the witch Morrigan?"]

"I didn't expect that after Cu Chulainn died, even this scene would be reproduced."]

In Tokyo, inside the Shijo mansion in reality, Hayasaka Ai was slightly startled.]

As early as when the Holy Grail War was broadcast, she had checked the data of all heroes. It is said that Cu Chulainn, who showed brave and enterprising activity in the final battle, died standing up, pierced by his own magic spear.]

On the shoulder of his remains that died standing, a small bird stopped.]

It is said that it was the incarnation of the witch Morrigan, who dedicated unrequited love to him.]

"Truly a twist of fate......"]

The blonde maid sighed, secretly worried for Kaguya-san in the parallel world.]

Since Cu Chulainn is dead, Kaguya-san, who has no one to protect her, must be very dangerous.]

......]

[Old Shijo mansion, the breeze blowing, leaves dancing at will.]

[In the data room, Mouri Kogoro frowned while flipping through articles, suddenly his pupils shrank, coming to a shocking conclusion, somewhat shocked: "Something went wrong with the Third Holy Grail War held in Fuyuki City!"]

["So, the Holy Grail has been polluted?"]

["Then can it still realize wishes?"]

[Wait!]

[If you add this variable.]

[In an instant, Kogoro fell into deep thought, quickly coming to a library.]

[Finding many photos and documents, and finally digging out a medical record from them.]

[Vaguely able to see words like multiple personality.]

["Actually...... is it like this?"]

[Kogoro muttered to himself, as if confirming a guess in his heart.]

[The most critical piece of data was filled in.]

[Since that’s the case......]

[Kogoro’s face changed. Not good, I must remind......]

["Hiss!"]

[He gritted his teeth, covering his wrist.]

[Bursts of pain, the Command Spell on his wrist emitted green smoke and slowly disappeared.]

["Lancer?!"]

[Kogoro couldn't believe it. Was Cu Chulainn killed by the mastermind?]

[Step~.]

[Step step step~.]

[Soft footsteps sounded.]

["So it really was you?"]

[Kogoro’s pupils shrank slightly, turning around slowly, looking at the figure humming a tune on the stairs.]

[Without waiting for an answer, the moment he made a sound to attract attention, he fired two shots instantly, the speed even approaching the world record, but......]

[With a muffled groan, Kogoro’s mouth overflowed with black blood, looking down at the black-red ribbon that pierced through his chest.]

["Bang!"]

[His neck wiped, Kogoro’s vision was thrown up, shaking, his head rolling, his blurred consciousness finally fixed in front of a pair of feet.]

["Truly amazing marksmanship."]

[The mysterious person wiped the blood on his cheek, as if admiring, as if mocking.]

["Swish."]

[Without even cleaning the scene, strips of black-red ribbon tentacles rolled up Kogoro’s head, turned and left, merging into the shadows.]

[On the spot, Kogoro’s corpse fell into a pool of blood, his face full of regret.]

[Lancer team, wiped out——!]

"Dad, you died so miserably."]

Mouri Detective Agency, Ran was a bit surprised, but didn't cover her face and cry.]

This old guy finally exploded gold coins......]

Ah no...... mainly because after experiencing the successive miserable deaths of Hideyoshi, Makoto-kun, Glass, Aki Tomoya, etc., she was mentally prepared for the death of Kogoro in the parallel world. Seeing Kogoro’s death was still decent.]

Ran was still a bit happy in her heart, at least he didn't die too painfully.]

"Hey hey, Ran, you should at least cry for me!"]

Mouri Kogoro expressed his dissatisfaction, curling his lips.]

Damn it, the little cotton-padded jacket is leaking air. I raised such a big daughter for nothing.]

However......]

He turned to look at the Sky Screen, his eyes sharp.]

The intelligence clues were too few, leading him to not deduce who killed him.]

But Mouri Kogoro already had a suspect in his heart. Although he had no intelligence, he was the person who knew himself best. Excluding those who had no suspicion, only the most impossible possibility remained......]

If it really is you.]

That would be too surprising.]

......]

The camera turned, the atmosphere was strange.]

[A few minutes ago, Holy Church.]

[Gilgamesh’s gaze was cold, holding a wine glass: "Mongrel, I gave you a chance. Wasting my precious treasure, death is already my mercy."]

[Beside him, there was a lively figure jumping around, dancing in the dark with a severed hand.]

......]

[Not long after, several people returned to the door of the old Shijo mansion.]

["Young Master, what’s wrong?"] The old butler was watering flowers with satisfaction, seeing Luo Shu and asking.]

["Fuku-san, I heard from Kaguya that Uncle Mouri came here?"]

[Luo Shu said softly.]

["That famous detective, said he was investigating something, went to the library on the second floor..."]

[Luo Shu nodded, and upon hearing this, he quickly took the Servant and Yukino upstairs.]

[Suddenly, Medusa’s expression froze, and her footsteps stopped.]

[Yukino noticed something was wrong and asked nervously: "What’s wrong?"]

["There is a fresh aura of the dead," Medusa said heavily.]

["......?!"]

[Luo Shu’s expression changed, rushing toward the data room.]

[However, Mouri Kogoro was already cold, his bloody head placed at the entrance.]
