Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan - Chapter 272: Kiritsugu has never given up!
What was this childish wish?!
Kirei realized that this meeting was meaningless and that the man in front of him was nothing but a waste of garbage. This meeting was nothing but disappointing before he fell into deeper despair since this way, he realized that there was no answer to his problem anymore.
The two of them were two different people.
While Kirei was someone empty that couldn’t feel anything, Kiritsugu was also someone empty, but unlike Kirei, who was unable to feel anything, Kiritsugu was someone that threw his feeling.
As for why Kiritsugu threw that feeling?
Everything was because of his childish dream to make a peaceful world.
Yet because of this, Kirei felt enraged since he felt envious of Kiritsugu, who could feel it, but this guy threw everything like it was nothing.
Suddenly, a dark emotion swelled up inside Kirei’s heart.
Kirei wondered what would happen if he made this man fall into deeper despair.
Still, if Maiya couldn’t even shake Kiritsugu’s heart, then what about Kiritsugu’s wife?
What about Kiritsugu’s other families?
When Kirei thought that Kiritsugu cried as he was unable to save anyone, his gloomy expression became a bright smile, yet others felt creepy by this crazy priest.
However, this moment was enough for Kiritsugu to escape.
Instantly, this building blew up.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
Several C4 bombs that had been planted on this unfinished building blew up at the same time, bringing another landmark of Fuyuki city into ruin.
The people outside, who were still busy managing the aftermath of the explosion at the Hyatt Hotel, were once again startled and fell into terror when another building was bombed!
“NO, ANOTHER BUILDING IS BLOW UP!”
“NOOOOO!”
“HURRY UP AND RUN AWAY! DON’T STAY IN THIS PLACE!”
No one thought that a lunatic would bomb two landmark buildings at the same time, and all the people in this city cursed this person, hoping this person would die since they had enough!
Fortunately, unlike the Hyatt building, this building was demolished inwardly, and the explosion didn’t spread to the surroundings, so the people around were only hit by the ashes due to the explosion.
Nevertheless, even if they were physically alright, it was impossible for their mental health to be okay.
In this peaceful country where the police didn’t even have proper firearms, they were hit by an explosion twice.
How could they stay calm?
However, Kirei and the Assassins were speechless since they didn’t expect Kiritsugu would be so lunatic to blow up another building. Moreover, this explosion was different as this might also kill Kiritsugu himself.
“Master, let’s escape.”
With their speed, it was possible for Assassin to escape, and naturally, they needed to bring their Master too.
Kiritsugu didn’t say anything and acquiesced to the decision of Assassin since he didn’t wish to die either. Nevertheless, he became empty once again since he didn’t have an answer to how to solve his heart problem.
As he was in deep thought, Assassin brought him to a safe place as they saw the crumbling building in the distance.
“This Kiritsugu is a lunatic.”
“Even in our era, there is no such a person.”
“I agree.”
Several Assassins discussed with each other.
“…” Kirei.
Naturally, Assassin had told this matter to Tamazuki as they communicated with each other through telepathy, being known to Kirei.
All of them knew that Tamazuki wanted to erase Kiritsugu, but he didn’t want to dirty his hands. moreover, was there a point for a being like him to make a hand by himself in front of such a flea creature?
Still, similar to a flea, Kiritsugu’s existence was quite annoying for him.
“Master, it seems that Kiritsugu has escaped safely.”
These sudden words surprised all of them, but they didn’t feel surprised since they knew Tamazuki knew everything.
However, Kirei didn’t know this and showed a surprise expression.
“Wow.”
Kirei was unable to hide his surprise.
“Should we kill him?”
They decided to kill Kiritsugu under the order of Kirei, so the one that took the blame was Kiritsugu.
Kirei fell into silence again, wondering whether he should kill Kiritsugu or not. After all, Kiritsugu possessed no threat to him anymore. Not only was Kiritsugu crippled, but he also lost his Command Spells as his left arm was cut off. By now, it was already a dead end for Kiritsugu.
Frankly, when Kirei thought the despair when Kiritsugu was about to face death was something that he was looking forward to, but then again, since Kiritsugu didn’t pose a threat to him, how about making it better?
What if… What if he kidnapped Irisiviel, Kiritsugu’s wife?
By then, Kirei wondered what Kiritsugu’s expression was.
Kirei wanted to laugh, but then an uneasy wave started to hit him again as his ugly side emerged. He couldn’t accept such a side, especially when he was a priest who served the Lord.
“It’s okay. Just leave him.”
Kirei was a member of the church, and according to the rule of the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu had lost, so there was no need for him to attack him again.
However, hearing that the group of Assassins were at a loss as they were looking at each other since no matter how weak a rabbit was, a lion would use all of its power. Still, Kirei had made the decision, so they could do nothing, and their “new Master” also approved this matter.
In the end, this matter ended, and with this incident, the curtain fell, telling everyone that stage one had ended.
Though Kirei would probably regret his decision since Kiritsugu was a lunatic that should be erased from this earth.
—
In the dark alley, Kiritsugu, who was able to escape, walked limpidly with a weak complexion, frowning, feeling many bones on his body were broken, and half of his face was almost ruined along with various degrees of severe injuries on his body.
Frankly, it was a miracle for him to be able to escape, and he could stand up until now since his action was nothing but suicide.
Nevertheless, Kiritsugu was at his limit, but his obsession pushed him forward. It was impossible for him to die, and it was even more impossible for him to admit the loss.
Kiritsugu had thrown everything, so he couldn’t stop.
No, he couldn’t forgive himself if he stopped!
Still, Kiritsugu knew that he had lost many things, whether it was his connection with Saber, Command Spells, left arm, or Maiya. He had lost many things. If possible, he wanted to contact Irisviel, but the previous explosion broke all of his machines, including his phone.
By now, it was impossible for him to contact his wife.
What about Saber?
However, even if Saber had returned to the Throne of Heroes, it wouldn’t stop Kiritsugu.
As long as he still had his life, he would win.
Kiritsugu would use his everything to win, even if he had to blow up this city and all the people who were living.
His actions were akin to a demon.
He wasn’t a human anymore.
Yet, Kiritsugu felt that this was necessary.
Facing this tragedy that fell on the people in the past, present, and future, Kiritsugu knew that he had to move and bring peace to this world, but before that, he walked toward the direction of the church of Fuyuki City, ready to blow up another building.
