Tokiomi Tohsaka: This world seems to be full of malice towards me.

Chapter 51. Tokiomi Tohsaka: This world seems to be full of malice towards me.

"!"

"This...this is..."

Weber observed the astonishing explosion through his familiar and stammered a little.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a crazy guy.

Even if he were to die, he showed no fear or concern, but rather carried out orders with the fervor of a fanatical religious believer.

Rider's magic is surprisingly powerful.

Swallowing hard, he turned to look at Kotomine Risei beside him. The old man showed no sadness at all; on the contrary, he had a gratified expression, as if he were proud of it.

"He successfully completed the task assigned by His Majesty."

Just as Weber had expected, not only was he heartbroken, but Kotomine Risei even laughed.

"Ah, he was very loyal to me."

"It's done perfectly."

Lelouch's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, and he almost felt an urge to burst out laughing.

This feeling of having the situation under control is something I haven't had since I was "Zero" in the "Black Knights".

"Tokiomi Tohsaka probably doesn't know about this yet."

"However, even if he knew, it wouldn't change anything."

"This war has reached its final sprint."

This wonderful situation was something Lelouch had never anticipated.

Lelouch had originally hoped that Kirei Kotomine would cause some trouble for Kiritsugu Emiya, preferably injuring him so that he could have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

But when Assassin was defeated by Saber, he felt that his plan had failed.

But in the end, Kirei Kotomine still gave such a big surprise.

He concealed the bomb on his person and only detonated it at close range after he died.

Both groups perished.

This immediately relieved Lelouch of the trouble of dealing with Saber.

Using the power of "Geass" to control the Kirei father and son has brought such a great advantage.

It was truly delightful!

"Well, let's just wait and see."

"Wait for the prey to bite the bait."

"yes!"

Bowing his head and bending over, Kotomine Risei then left the room.

"Wave, remember to have your familiar retrieve the Dragon Balls from Kiritsugu Emiya."

"Huh?"

"Rider, aren't we leaving?"

Waver glanced at Lelouch, who was sitting directly on the bed, then withdrew his terrified expression and asked.

"No need. We can just rest here until Archer and Berserker decide their match."

Lelouch knew Waver had a lot of questions, so he still offered an explanation.

"Well?"

Upon hearing this, Weber became even more confused.

Why would Rider assume that Archer and Berserker would fight first?

"Whether Berserker likes it or not, Archer will definitely go to him once he recovers."

"After all, all the troublesome guys have been cleared out."

A closed-loop plan had already formed in his mind; Lelouch only needed to wait.

"But aren't we still here? Archer might come and attack us too."

Unable to follow Lelouch's line of thought, Waver didn't understand why Rider made such a judgment.

No, it won't.

"The most ancient king, Gilgamesh."

"They don't even look at me."

Considering the other party's arrogant attitude and expression, Lelouch was not worried.

"As long as I don't actively bother him, he'll just treat me like trash he can just pick up and leave."

"It sounds a bit embarrassing, but it's really true."

"Because I can be killed by him with ease, he will not kill me first. Instead, he will take the initiative to find Berserker to settle the score."

Lelouch spread his hands, looking completely unconcerned.

Weber thought that the relieved expression on his face meant he had given up, but his tone of voice didn't seem to suggest that.

"We can't exactly expect them both to die together, can we?"

Weber could only hesitantly guess that such a good thing could never happen again.

"It's alright, we just need to hope Archer wins."

"?!"

"Huh!!!"

Seeing Lelouch's leisurely expression, Waver paused for a few seconds in astonishment.

"That's not quite right either. Whether he wins or not isn't the key. The important thing is that he can make Berserker back down."

After slightly correcting his words, Lelouch picked up the tea from the table next to him and began to speak.

"Give in. Perhaps!"

Upon hearing this, Waver suddenly remembered the important information he had previously received from Kirei Kotomine.

Berserker's Master is only 6 years old.

Logically, it shouldn't be possible to support the consumption of Servants.

Berserker has been expending his own magic power to act all along.

"So, the reason Archer didn't have his magical energy supplied by the spiritual veins severed was to have him restrain Berserker, who lacks stamina?"

Suddenly realizing something, Weber exclaimed.

"Archer's Noble Phantasm from before will definitely be used against Berserker as well."

"However, there's no point in saying all that now."

"We'll have to wait and see how it goes when they start fighting."

Looking up at the ceiling, Lelouch wasn't so optimistic.

Although victory seemed so close, this step felt like an insurmountable chasm.

The duel between Berserker and Archer will determine whether he wins or loses.

As for plotting to become Berserker's Master, that would be a bit difficult.

…………

"Really? Kirei is dead."

Tokiomi Tohsaka received a message from Risei Kotomine, and his feelings were very complicated.

The death of a disciple should have been a sad thing.

But when he learned that Kiritsugu Emiya had also died, he was relieved.

At least Kirei didn't die in vain.

"Then where are Kiritsugu Emiya and Kirei's Dragon Balls?"

When asked that crucial question, Tokiomi hadn't forgotten this prop.

The Dragon Balls of Lancer and Caster were recovered and kept by the church.

"We found Kiritsugu Emiya's Dragon Balls, but not Kirei's?"

"What's going on?"

"Could it be a mistake? Maybe Kiritsugu Emiya actually hid the Dragon Balls?"

"No, that is indeed Kiritsugu Emiya's Dragon Ball, because there is only one star."

"Kiri has two stars."

But another piece of news made Tokiomi realize that something was wrong.

How could something so important disappear? Could it be hidden away?

Even so, she should have told Kotomine Risei, her father, and herself, her teacher, in advance.

The thought that Kirei might be hiding something from him made Tokiomi Tohsaka feel heavy-hearted.

"Oh right, let's leave the Dragon Balls aside for now."

"I have some very important information to tell you."

Kotomine Risei's words brought Tohsaka Tokiomi back to his senses, and he waited for the other to continue.

What important intelligence could possibly be available at this time?

Could it be related to the Berserker Master?

If that's the case, then...

"The Berserker's Master seems to be the daughter you sent to the Matou family."

But when Kotomine Ryougi revealed that news, Tohsaka Tokiomi was completely stunned.

His mouth was slightly open, his pupils were dilated, and a look of surprise was on the face of this adult.

This seemed to be the first time he had ever lost his composure like this.

This news is even more significant than hearing that my disciple Kirei had died.

"Could there be a mistake?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka asked the same question again, his voice trembling slightly.

The daughter sent to the Matou family, isn't that "Sakura"?

But why is the other person a Master?!

What is going on in this world?
