Chapter 212

~6 min read 1,096 words

Conqueror King: "Gilgamesh's ending should be defeat, right?"

Waver: "Yeah, that's very likely; after all, there's no sign of him at all in the video."

King of Heroes: "Ha, how could this King be defeated like this?"

Waver: "Don't mind him; this guy is just being stubborn."

Conqueror King: "Gilgamesh, it's nothing to admit your failure."

King of Heroes: "Then just wait and see."

【Answering time ended, video continues.】

【"Uh, where is this?"】

【In the ruins of Fuyuki City, a figure sat up abruptly.】

【It was actually Kirei Kotomine.】

【"What a troublesome man."】

【To the side, Gilgamesh, completely naked, was sitting on the ruins and said, "It took quite a bit of effort for me to dig you out from under the ruins."】

Rin Tohsaka: "Ah! Pervert!"

Artoria: "Gilgamesh, have you indulged yourself to this extent?"

Ishtar: "Hmm, have to say, the physique is actually quite good."

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, Gilgamesh, you still say you don't have exhibitionism."

Conqueror King: "Never mind the shirt, this time you're not even wearing pants."

King of Heroes: "Shut up!!!"

Gilgamesh himself was a little flushed.

What kind of madness is his video-self acting out?

Even if there's no one around, you can't just be naked there; it's not like there are no clothes in the Gate of Babylon.

Kayneth: "You guys are focusing on the wrong thing; shouldn't you be focusing on Kirei Kotomine?"

Waver: "Right, wasn't that guy killed by Emiya Kiritsugu? How is he alive again?"

Extra Feng Xi: "That goes without saying; it must have something to do with that black mud."

【"Gilgamesh, what happened?"】

【Looking at everything around him, Kirei Kotomine was a bit confused.】

【How did the world change so much after he just took a 'nap'?】

【"Who knows."】

【Gilgamesh shrugged and said, "That mass of mud spat me out; it seems Heaven wants me to descend upon this era once again and govern the human world."】

【"You obtained a physical body!"】

【Kirei Kotomine realized after a long while.】

【"Hmm, although it wasn't my intention."】

【Gilgamesh curled his lips and said with a look of disgust, "To actually treat that kind of thing as a wish-granting machine and fight to the death—this farce was rotten from beginning to end."】

Conqueror King: "Good guy, Gilgamesh is the one who benefited in the end."

Conqueror King: "Should I go try soaking in it too?"

Waver: "What are you talking about! Do you want to release such a dangerous thing!"

Conqueror King: "Don't get excited, just a joke."

King of Heroes: "Hmph, incarnation? This is not my wish."

Extra Feng Xi: "This is typical of someone who benefits and then complains."

Waver: "So the answer to this question is C; oh, I chose wrong."

Waver (II): "No way, who could have thought Gilgamesh would obtain a physical body like this."

【"Wasn't I supposed to have been shot!"】

【Kirei Kotomine suddenly remembered that he had died and subconsciously touched his chest.】

【"No heartbeat!"】

【Kirei Kotomine looked at Gilgamesh and asked, "What did you do to me, Gilgamesh!"】

【"Who knows what happened."】

【Gilgamesh indicated that he wouldn't take the blame.】

【"In my view, you were indeed dead. When I entered that mass of mud to incarnate, you must have also been bound by something unreasonable."】

【"So, did it grant me life..."】

【Kirei Kotomine muttered, "All the Servants have left the field; the winners are us."】

【"Kirei, open your eyes and take a good look at this ending."】

【Gilgamesh took the opportunity to start his preaching again.】

【"If the Holy Grail really listens to the user's wishes, then Kirei Kotomine, this is exactly what you seek."】

【"... Heh!"】

【Looking at the destroyed Fuyuki around him, Kirei Kotomine laughed morbidly.】

【"What's wrong, what's happened to me."】

【"How evil, how cruel—this is my wish."】

【"Such destruction and lamentation are my pleasure."】

【"Such filth and distortion, actually coming from the bloodline of Risei Kotomine."】

【"Impossible, impossible, what is this? Did my father actually give birth to a beast!"】

Risei Kotomine: "Kirei, you!"

Mapo Priest: "..."

Waver: "Good guy, he's completely crazy now."

Kayneth: "Resurrected by such a bizarre thing, how could he not be affected?"

Extra Feng Xi: "Not to mention there's a troublemaker on the side guiding him."

King of Heroes: "Hmph, I'm just letting him recognize his own nature."

Mapo Priest: "Sorry, Gilgamesh, I don't think my nature has reached that point."

Looking at the scene in the video, Kirei Kotomine was not as excited as his video-self.

Instead, he was completely calm.

It was like watching a boring TV show.

Ever since he came into contact with Mapo Tofu, he felt that he had lost interest in everything else.

The only thing that could cause a fluctuation in his mood was tasting the Mapo Tofu he made himself, and watching his father's expression when eating it.

After practicing for these two days, he felt his skills had improved quite a bit and could invite Extra Feng Xi over to taste it.

【Gilgamesh: "Are you satisfied, Kirei?"】

【"No, not enough; this is not enough."】

【Kirei Kotomine said faintly, "Indeed, I, who have been asking all my life, have finally obtained the answer; however, this process of answering was suddenly omitted, and I was thrown an answer directly—how can I endure this?"】

【As he spoke, he picked up a red cloth from the ground and threw it to Gilgamesh.】

【"An equation that can reach such a strange answer must have a simple logic. No, it must have one. I must pursue it, must use my life to understand it."】

【"You truly never tire me."】

【Gilgamesh wrapped himself in the red cloth, finally knowing to cover up.】

【"That's fine; I, Gilgamesh, will witness this path of seeking the Dao that even gods would be stumped by."】

【"The Evil of This World, I will eventually meet it again one day, and then I will definitely witness it with my own eyes. Witness its birth, witness the proof of its existence."】

【Just then, Kirei Kotomine suddenly discovered something.】

【He saw Emiya Kiritsugu, with a numb expression, carrying Avalon in one hand and walking slowly toward him.】

【Kirei Kotomine immediately took a fighting stance, but Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at him and turned directly toward another direction, as if he hadn't seen him at all.】

【Subsequently, Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have discovered something and rushed to a ruin to dig.】

【Soon, he dug out a surviving red-haired boy.】

【"Time to go, Kirei."】

【Gilgamesh was not interested in this scene and turned to leave.】

【He still didn't know that the child would be his destined nemesis in the future.】
