07 - Visiting the church

Being dragged by His Majesty Gilgamehs all the way we ended up reaching the outskirts of the "Old Church", just as in the series it is on a discreet hill at the end of a desolate boulevard or street, regardless of what looks good or no, this is one of the three locations where it is possible to summon the Lesser Grail, in addition to that depending on the universal line there may or may not be a room dedicated to cultivating and draining the energy of the orphans to keep Gilgamehs, although I personally hope that we are not on that route. Why? that's simple, Kotomine Kirei from Stay Night is the most bastard of all, that guy is an absolute narcissistic megalomaniac, not counting the fact that he is even more whimsical and temperamental than Gilgamehs.

Gilgamehs is capricious but at least he is rational, Kotomine (On all routes) is simply a time bomb.

--Hey Kozo, were you thinking something rude right now?

--No ... I was just wondering when Your Grace would release me.

--Oh?!

Gilgamehs blinked as if he had remembered something and left me alone. I ended up hitting the ground but at least I could stand on my own two feet.

--Thank you, Your Majesty?

I tilted my head to the side as I arranged my clothes.

--Come on Kozo that Kirei must be inside.

Following the golden king we entered the church passing through the hall and the altar, passing through everything and reaching the back room, in a small office a middle-aged clergyman leafed through a thick sheaf of papers only seeing the thickness and the number of numbers printed on it. They were clearly debts or financial statements, possibly the records of the embezzlement of the Tohsaka's assets.

Speaking without regard and with the dignity of a king Gilgamehs gave his orders to Kirei who was still leafing through the documents.

--Kirei trains this boy ... he seems to be entertaining ~

Smiling his majesty he pushed me forward.

Kirei raised his gaze and looked at me, his eyes were empty, no, they weren't empty without full of disinterest and boredom.

--Gilgamehs ... train this kid, you say?

--Yes, it looks like fun ~

Smiling Gilgamehs leisurely walked to a large red velvet sofa as he took one of the multiple bottles of wine on the table, before collapsing placidly on it.

--Well ... it will serve to kill time ... but, Young man (Shounen)?

Sweat broke out on my back as soon as I heard the iconic "Shounen" but I couldn't let myself be terrified by this sociopathic bastard.

--Yes, Father Kotomine.

--Do you know anything about accounting?

--Accounting?

--Yes, keeping accounts, making up taxes and stuff.

--I can try.

Actually, among the jumble of memories I have, I think I was an accountant or some professional in the field of science, putting makeup on the Tohsaka is a piece of cake.

--Perfect ... Gilgamehs you said you will train him but this boy is a "Magus"

--According to the boy he is self-taught, right kozo?

--Yes, my teacher died before properly teaching me his magic, so I only have some basics, the only thing he taught me was to improve my physique.

Technically not a lie, Kiritsugu never actually taught me his "Time Alter" which was his signature magic but he taught me everything else with a Search and Destroy approach.

--Just the bases, that's good ... Shounen, do you have parents?

--No, my parents died in the great fire alive with my uncles.

At the mention of the fire, both Kotomine and Gilgamehs widened their eyes not trying to hide their surprise.

--Shounen, is you a survivor from that hell?

--Yes, I remember that day , debris, fire, screams, curses, the black and bleeding sun, the black mud that covered me I still remember it.

An awkward silence filled the room , everyone seemed to be lost in their own memories until a thunderous ripple broke the heavy silence.

--HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA, Wonderful! This is too much, don't you think, Kirei??

--Gilgamehs indeed, should this be fate or is it karma? ... Shounen why do you want to learn magic?

--For survive, from here on I could feel something strange in my body, also have many memories, dreams or visions that are not mine , I learned to use the circuits magical to wake those memories, I only have three years studying magic, one my account and two with my teacher but he died a few months ago.

--I see, survive ... aren't you looking for revenge?

--Revenge? ... I think the best revenge is to survive and rub my success in the face of my enemies.

--You see Kirei this kid is entertaining, HAHAH A HAHAHA

The uproarious laughter resounded again Gilgamehs.

--He is indeed an interesting boy ... Shounen your name.

--Akatsuki Kurama...

--Red clouds and a fox ... Hahahaha, interesting.

--Well, let's see what you can do.
