Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 283: Maybe this is the best?

Chapter 283: Maybe this is the best?

"..."

While Scheherazade and Tamazuki felt weird, Saber and Irisviel couldn't maintain their calm and sat in front of the television as they heard the news quietly before their expression became ugly.

Saber didn't feel surprised and somehow felt relief.

But Irisviel?

However, this time, no one said anything, and they listened to the news quietly.

"Kiritsugu is a famous killer, mercenary, and a killer in the world. While his purpose in coming to Japan is still unknown, we can be sure that his purpose definitely isn't good..."

Then, the police commander, who was in charge of capturing Kiritsugu, listed all the crimes that had been committed by Kiritsugu.

Everyone who heard those lists of crimes felt a shudder in the beginning before they felt numb since the number of crimes was too much!

By then, the police commander had explained how Kiritsugu had entered the country illegally, killing a group of police, bombed the Hyatt Hotel along with the newly built department store, killing hundreds of innocent people before he bombed a Fuyuki church, killing one old priest.

"Our police force won't let such a savage criminal be freed in this country! We are going to protect our citizens! That's why we have to give him capital punishment for what he has done."

Even though the police in this country were quite unreliable, the crimes committed by Kiritsugu were too much, as Kiritsugu had caused much damage in Fuyuki City. If he was let go, no one could tell what he was doing.

By then, he might bomb the entire Fuyuki city, killing everyone in this place.

If he wasn't satisfied, he might go to other cities, bringing more terror to the country.

So, the police didn't have a choice but to give him capital punishment (killing him) directly since they were afraid that more damage was being caused by him.

"We are now investigating all the channels and hiding places of Kiritsugu in case he might keep another bomb, so please support our investigation...."

Tamazuki didn't continue to listen and looked at Irisviel, who was still in a daze. Frankly, if he wasn't around, then Kiritsugu's plan would be smooth before winning the Holy Grail, finding it to be corrupted, and then using a Command Spell to order Saber to destroy it.

By then, the Holy Grail would damage and burn halves of the city, bringing another tragedy.

Tamazuki suddenly wondered whether he had done a good thing. Still, he walked toward Irisviel and patted her shoulder. "Go and rest."

Being patted on her shoulder, Irisviel woke up from her stupor, but she was still unable to hide her shock since her husband was killed. Frankly, it was quite ironic since she was using her body to protect her husband and also made Tamazuki promise her that he wouldn't touch Kiritsugu, yet the reality...?

When Irisviel saw the terror and slaughters made by Kiritsugu, she shuddered, wondering whether this person was her husband.

On the show, the police magnified the crimes committed by Kiritsugu since they knew that even if killing Kiritusug was necessary, the aftermath of this trouble was troublesome since there were many organizations that hated capital punishment.

In case the police were blamed by those organizations, they would be at a disadvantage, so in the end, they tried to magnify Kiritsugu's crimes, telling everyone what kind of lunatic this person was.

If they didn't kill him, then Kiritsugu might bomb the entire country.

If you dared to support him, then the police would think of them as Kiritsugu's partner, making them into a terrorist organization.

Yet, no one doubted Kiritsugu's crimes were horrible, especially when hundreds of people were bombed, dying cruelly under the explosion.

However, they were confused about why Kiritsugu would bomb the church. Yet, no matter what, with the death of Kiritsugu, no tragedy would happen once again.

Then, the commander said that Kiritsugu's body was under the protection of the police, and he made sure that nothing like this would happen again in the future as he swore in the name of the police.

When the news was over, it didn't mean that everything was over since the channel continued to talk about Kiritsugu's life as a terrorist, explained while supporting the police for his actions.

Moreover, they also brought the families of the victims whose families were killed during the explosion.

From the expression of the families, one could tell how much hatred they had for Kiritsugu. Some of them even cried in blood and thanked the police for giving justice to their families.

"...I am okay."

Irisviel calmed herself, but she knew that it was impossible.

"Then, stay here. Sit there tight and relax. Don't be alone since you might think depressed things. I don't want you to commit suicide to follow this scumbag."

"..."

Scumbag...

Irisviel wanted to refute Tamazuki, but she couldn't since, from this news, she could see how low a human known as a Kiritsugu was.

This person wasn't emotional.

Only killing people was the only thing that he could do.

Those people whom he had mercilessly killed suddenly turned and killed him in return.

Yet, at the same time, Kiritsugu's life was also ironic since he was killed by the majority whom he wished to protect.

However, this might be karma from what he had done in life.

Saber shook her head and was strangely relieved somehow since when she saw all the crimes that had been done by Kiritsugu, she was glad that it was over. The only problem was Irisviel. Unlike Kiritsugu, she cared about Irisviel so much. If not, then why should she give her womanhood to Tamazuki?

Wasn't it to protect Irisviel?

In this Holy Grail, the one that she thought of as her Master was Irisviel, after all.

As for Tamazuki? It might be hard for her to answer since a new emotion was born in her heart.

"Should I get your husband's body?" Tamazuki asked.

"...no, it's okay." Irisviel let out an exhausted sigh. "Maybe this is the best." Maybe death was the best thing for Kiritsugu since, by dying, there was no need for him to suffer.

"When everything is over. Let's get your daughter."

"....."

Irisviel looked at Tamazuki in surprise before trying to suppress her tears, then said, "Thank you."

Yes, she might have lost Kiritsugu, but she still had her daughter.

For her daughter's sake, she needed to stay alive.

As for her daughter's problem, Irisviel believed that Tamazuki could solve it, yet at the same time, his words surprised her since it meant he didn't mind her daughter, so maybe... Illiyasviel would have a stepfather?

"Say, Tamazuki, is it possible to achieve world peace?" Saber suddenly asked.

"It's possible," Tamazuki answered without hesitation.

"...you don't mean by killing all the beings in the world, right?"

"Of course not. It's with a method that you will agree."

"How?"

Not only Saber but Irisviel and Scheherazade looked at Tamazuki curiously, wondering how to achieve world peace.

"It's to have a common enemy."

"........"

Everyone blinked their eyes and fell into a daze.

Tamazuki then looked at them and said, "Are you just going to stay there stupidly? How about you help me to cook breakfast now?"
