Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 73 Use the Elixir of Love on the Enemy (Please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe automatically!)
71. Guanyin Bodhisattva told me to do this
After successfully rescuing Illyasviel, Kiritsugu Emiya took her away from the Einzbern family.

Because of the transformation she received since childhood, Illyasviel's body is like delicate glass. It looks delicate, but it is very fragile. If it weren't for the constant adjustments of the Einzbern family, the mere fact of "growth" would be a fatal threat to Illyasviel.

In order to save Illya, Emiya Kiritsugu transferred the legendary Noble Phantasm preserved in his own body, the 'scabbard' of King Arthur that is said to be able to heal all wounds - Avalon, into Illyasviel's body.

Hopefully Avalon can protect her as she grows up.

Without the scabbard as a backup, Kiritsugu Emiya's body began to weaken. He was also in the center of the Fuyuki Incident and was eroded by the black mud.

Death at any time is not surprising.

Emiya Kiritsugu made up his mind, just in case he died suddenly on the way back to Fuyuki City, and planned to entrust his son to Father Kotomine.

"Oh, the curse of the dragon demon, your sons and daughters can be saved."

Kotomine Kirei said this somewhat nonchalantly, handing back the sleeping Illya that Emiya Kiritsugu had handed over.

I also took a picture of him performing a healing magic trick.

Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned: "Can this thing be saved?"

"Yes," Kotomine Kirei nodded. "In order to obtain a way to deal with this curse, not long after you left Fuyuki City, your son and daughters fought against the dragon demon Azi Dahaka. Although they went through untold hardships and many accidents, they succeeded in the end."

Emiya Kiritsugu was silent: "Actually, I wanted to ask you before, who is my son you are talking about? Emiya Shirou? Are you sure that Maiya and I have such a child?"

"I'm not sure. I'm just guessing based on my own intelligence and test results."

Kotomine Kirei said without hesitation:

"Hisashi Maiya definitely has a child. As for whether it could be your child - you should know this better than me, right? If you and Hisashi Maiya have never had any relationship other than being her assistant, then doesn't that mean you don't have a child with her?"

Emiya Kiritsugu broke out in a sweat after hearing this.

The situation here is very complicated, and there are many problems for adults.

Let's start from the beginning. Although Emiya Kiritsugu's wife is the android of the Einzbern family - Irisviel.

But in terms of first come first served, Irisviel came last.

Hisau Maiya had been acting together with Kiritsugu for a long time, and the two had been maintaining a long-term physical relationship before Kiritsugu married Irisviel.

It can be said that they are not husband and wife in name, but husband and wife in reality.

If Irisviel had not appeared, if Emiya Kiritsugu had not been tricked by the Einzbern family into pursuing the Holy Grail - and if Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya had not died in a certain mission.

Assuming that there is a day when they retire, Emiya Kiritsugu should marry Hisau Maiya and have children.

Although Kiritsugu must have taken measures to avoid that before this.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya could not guarantee that Hisau Maiya, who had extremely deep feelings for him, even beyond simple love between a man and a woman, would not secretly obtain Kiritsugu's genes and then have a child.

Because the timing actually matches, there is a window period in between.

After Emiya Kiritsugu married Irisviel, they moved into the Einzbern castle, gave birth to their daughter Illyasviel, and lived together in isolation for eight years.

During these eight years, Hisau Maiya has been on standby outside. Emiya Kiritsugu did not force her, but she has been waiting. Even though she knew what Emiya Kiritsugu was going to do in the Einzbern family, she still kept waiting.

After they reunited, he naturally treated Irisviel as his "wife" and served her.

The indescribable gravity
And Irisviel was prepared to die in the Fourth Holy Grail War and use her life to call for the Holy Grail to appear.

In order to ensure that Emiya Kiritsugu would not return halfway, Irisviel arranged some "afterlife" in advance. She asked Hisahi Maiya not to sever her relationship with Emiya Kiritsugu, and after the Fourth Holy Grail War was over and Irisviel died, Hisahi Maiya would continue to accompany Emiya Kiritsugu.

In order to prove that he was "determined to win the Holy Grail, even if Irisviel died, he was ready", Emiya Kiritsugu reunited with Hisau Maiya at the beginning of the Holy Grail War and resumed his physical relationship with her.
Who wrote this damn funny script?
All I can say is that Kiritsugu Emiya's love history is also very complicated.

But the ending of the Fourth Holy Grail War was that both of Kiritsugu Emiya's 'lovers' died.

Emiya Kiritsugu whispered: "DNA test."

"It should be useless." Kotomine Kirei shook his head. "He has also been affected by the black mud. Now those things equivalent to the flesh and blood of the Zoroastrian evil god, the dragon demon Azidahaka, have become a part of his body. I'm afraid the biological relationship is no longer certain."

Emiya Kiritsugu actually knew this.

But he really couldn't confirm whether Hisahi Maiya had really secretly had a child with him.

Since it is impossible to pursue it, let it go. Emiya Kiritsugu thought: Illya will have a brother, no, a younger brother in the future, which may be good for her growth.

that's it.

Since the truth could no longer be determined, Kiritsugu Emiya felt that there was no need to delve further into the issue.

Compared to those——

On the way back to Fuyuki, Emiya Kiritsugu changed the subject somewhat abruptly: "What's wrong with you? Are you really Kotomine Kirei? Although your personalities seem very similar and you look the same, I always feel something is wrong - not to mention, I clearly killed you in the decisive battle."

“I don’t care about this issue”

Kotomine Kirei said calmly:
"Of course, if you care, I don't mind telling you that when you and I fought at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei was undoubtedly killed by you.

However, because Kotomine Kirei’s body was located in the center of the pouring black mud, after bathing in the black mud, the damaged parts of Kotomine Kirei’s body were filled and reshaped by the dragon demon’s flesh and blood, and then - 'I' woke up again.

Am I the resurrection of Kotomine Kirei himself, or am I just a new personality that inherited Kotomine Kirei's memories?"

Kotomine Kirei looked at Emiya Kiritsugu: "What do you think?"

Emiya Kiritsugu sighed: "I don't know. I only know that I must have killed Kotomine Kirei at that time."

Kotomine Kirei shrugged: "So I don't care about those things myself. Maybe the me who is here now is actually the incarnation of the dragon demon Azidahaka. Azidahaka is a collection of countless evil personalities, so - maybe, I am actually 'Azidahaka playing Kotomine Kirei'."

Emiya Kiritsugu did not continue on this topic.

Because this is also a question without an answer.

To put it another way, at least the other party helped him rescue Illyasviel, which is real.

Moreover, his purpose in coming to me this time was to disintegrate the contaminated Holy Grail of Fuyuki City. In other words, it was to save the four million innocent lives still alive in the entire Fuyuki City.

Reason enough for action.

☆

In this way, the reinforcements arrived in Fuyuki City one after another and came to the residence of the Toosaka family - of course, due to the Dragon Demon's covert actions, these things were not known to any other outsiders.

Emiya Shirou looked at Emiya Kiritsugu in front of him speechlessly.

The father and son stared at each other.

[Shirou's 'mood swings': 1D100=26]

[Kiritsugu's 'mood swings': 1D100=43]

Everything is very peaceful.

Shirou: "Kiritsugu, you're here."

Kiritsugu: "Well, I've come back after I've dealt with things over there."

This makes people around them think: Oh, these two are really father and son, right?

Neither of them was fussy and went straight to the point.

Kiritsugu stared with wide eyes, curiously looking at Illya and put her down from his arms: "This is Illyasviel."

The petite Illyasviel looked up at the 'family' in front of her.

".elder brother?"

Shirou felt something strange: "Illyasviel, you are actually considered one of the older kids here."

Illyasviel: "!!! Am I the older sister?!"

Illya seems to like being called sister.

The reunion of the Emiya family did not cause any waves.

Because Emiya Kiritsugu also immediately entered the working state, cooperating with Shirou's "Forging Zanpakutō Action" to obtain the characteristics of the "God of Death".

Shirou has currently summarized three types of the effects of Zanpakuto.

Effect 1: The most basic effect, which is to damage the soul with the Soul Blade, and will allow the person who successfully forges the sword to gain the characteristics of "Death".

In theory, increasing the damage to spiritual creatures should be able to cause higher damage to servants to a certain extent, but the specific amount of increased damage depends on the strength of the various Death Gods.

Effect 2: Strengthen physical fitness to a certain extent.

After the Grim Reaper draws his sword, the various energies in his body will acquire a characteristic, which Shirou calls "reiatsu".

This will increase the physical strength of the Shinigami who successfully obtain their Zanpakutō. The extent of this increase is currently uncertain. Some people will have higher strength while others will have lower strength. This may be related to different people's potential in this area.

A strong enough spiritual pressure itself can even be used as a weapon.

Effect 3: The Zanpakutō will become the 'manifestation' of the Shinigami's original abilities

This is the core ability of the Zanpakuto. Taking Asagami Fujino as an example, the originally heavy power can be released by the Zanpakuto after obtaining the Zanpakuto, thereby indirectly improving the combat effectiveness of the holder!
Furthermore, the power of the Zanpakutō will grow along with its master, and can further 'liberate' more power!

The reason why everyone, including Lanis who came here with a cautious mind, was determined to accept the "Death Transformation" sword-forging ceremony was the key information brought by Weber.

The accuracy of this information has also been confirmed by Emiya Kiritsugu.

In order to dismantle the polluted Holy Grail in Fuyuki City, it is necessary to become an enemy of the Matou family, who personally constructed the entire Holy Grail War ceremony in Fuyuki City.

One thing must be mentioned here.

Although they are known as the three major families of the Holy Grail War, the Tōsaka family provides the venue and the Einzbern family provides the raw materials and technology, but how to use the Einzbern family's technology and how to build a system for the Holy Grail War.

In fact, the Matou family is responsible for all of this!
The Tohsaka family originally had no special ideas about the Holy Grail War.

The Einzbern family is special.

Strictly speaking, this family is not a family of magicians, but a family of androids. They were created by magicians and their apprentices a long time ago to serve them. Later, when the magicians and their apprentices left, these androids continued to perform the remaining tasks, constantly creating new androids and continuing their magic research.

The Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City was originally the last stand of the Einzbern family. If Fuyuki City failed, then they would -

Will do nothing.

They would all shut down their computers, deciding that the mission was impossible, and quietly await death in the snowstorm-covered castle.

As a pragmatist, Emiya Kiritsugu thought that after a while, they might be able to go to the Einzbern castle to pick up some androids and repair them and make them useful.

Anyway, you don’t have to worry about any trouble from Aijia.

But the efforts that the Matou family has put into the Holy Grail War will never let them give up easily!

The Holy Grail is contaminated? If it is successfully activated, many people will die?

What does that have to do with the people from the Matou family?

Toosaka Rin has met Matou Zouken several times and is sure that the old man is a real magician, cold-blooded and cruel.

in other words--

"We have confirmed that Matou Zouken may be able to summon the 'Shadow Servants' of the heroes who were defeated in the Holy Grail War in the past," said Rin Toosaka at the operational meeting.

Although Shadow Servants have no mind, and probably cannot release their Noble Phantasms with their True Names, they will still retain some things. "

Emiya Kiritsugu added: "For example: Lancer, Diarmuid, the hero of the Fiona Knights who is named 'Glorious Face'.

Even if his dual guns are not released by their real names, the red and yellow guns themselves have the passive effects of "destruction" and "unable to recover" respectively.

Although for some reason, I designed Diarmuid to break his Yellow Spear during the Fourth Holy Grail War, if he is summoned again as a Shadow Servant, I am afraid his Noble Phantasm will reappear. "

Although he was forcibly captured, after learning the whole story, Waver, who had already decided to help with all his strength, also lowered his head:
"In that case, then Rider, I mean Alexander the Great, also known as Iskandar, his Noble Phantasm 'Godly Wheel' that was destroyed by Saber will also return."

Weber explained to the crowd:

"The Divine Vehicle is Iskandar's chariot, and the sacred bulls pulling the chariot are the incarnations of Zeus, the god of thunder. They are two sacred beasts that can summon Zeus' thunder! If it weren't for me, an incompetent master, Iskandar wouldn't have to worry about his magic power.
I should be able to summon lightning at will, and easily turn the streets into scorched earth in an instant!"

Zeus's thunderbolt.

But after all, it was not Zeus himself who came.

If there is a top-level treasure for defense, it is not difficult to defend against this thing, because it is not Zeus himself, so although the thunder is powerful, it lacks penetrating damage.

But if you don't have a weapon that can defend against it
Hassan the Hundred Faces (Assassin), Iskandar the King of Conquerors (Cavalry), Diarmuid the Radiant (Lancer), Gilderoy the Marshal of France (Magician), Lancelot the Strongest Knight of the Round Table (Berserker)
Except for Hassan the Hundred Faces, each one of them is difficult to deal with.

Lancelot, who has a strong single-player combat capability, can still find a way to deal with it, but facing Iskandar, who has a large range of damage and mobility.
"Deal with them without the help of Servants? That's simply impossible!" Lanis frowned, "Not to mention that according to what you said, the Three-Base Magical Furnace of our El-Melloi family may have fallen into the hands of the Matou family. My suggestion is that we give up now and evacuate. If things get out of hand, let alone the Clock Tower, the Spiral Pavilion on the Eastern Continent will definitely not let it go!"

Kiritsugu Emiya knew the character of the magician Renis - even though she was only four years old, the psychological age of a magician could not be calculated in this way.

His wife Alice was only one year old when she gave birth to the child!

The safety of ordinary civilians is not important to the magician, so if he wants to tie her to the chariot, he can only say: "If we don't win here, your El-Melloi School will be doomed, right?"

Lanis was silent.

Because the situation was too dire and one careless mistake could lead to total destruction, Shirou and Rin shared all the information they knew except for the 'narration'.

We must pool our wisdom and think of countermeasures.

Because it is a battle against Servants, and the enemies are all Servants from the Fourth Holy Grail War, Shirou and Rin hope to rely on the knowledge and information of Emiya Kiritsugu, um, and Waver.

[4.5 Holy Grail War, Operational Meeting before the War——]

[Shirou and Rin, try to make a battle plan with the knowledge of the two masters of the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu and Waver—]

[Emiya Kiritsugu's 'Operational Thinking (Last-Minute Cramming)': 1D100=49]

[Weber's 'Operational Thinking (Last-Minute Cramming)': 1D100=100]

Our own combat effectiveness is seriously lacking.

The only battle strategy that Kiritsugu Emiya could think of was to delay the enemy as much as possible in a few other ways, perhaps at a heavy price, and then Kiritsugu would assassinate the magus of the Matou family!
Assassinate Matou Zouken!

(The key is how to trick those who are not determined and willing to sacrifice into buying time, not to mention that accidents may occur in the process.

What's more troublesome is that because of Iskandar's divine thunder, it is inevitable that ordinary people may be hurt. How can we reduce casualties and seek help from the Holy Church? But the church is often delayed, and it is too troublesome to wait for people to come.)

Just as Emiya Kiritsugu was thinking this.

Shirou suddenly turned his gaze towards Waver, who was still cowering. He looked unconfident and scared, but he still raised his hand tremblingly.

"Weber." Shirou thought about it, and decided to call him that as he looked at the college-age Weber. "Brother Weber, what do you think?"

Weber took a deep breath, then slowly expressed his first bold idea:
"Don't you already have the means to deal with Rider and Iskandar?"

Weber pointed out the key: "That evil dragon! That evil dragon itself is a magical beast equivalent to a divine beast. Use it to deal with Iskandar's divine bull!"

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, "But that thing itself is also a sealed monster. What if it becomes an enemy if it is released? What if the Matou family, who are good at command magic, tamper with the contract and take it away?"

Emiya Kiritsugu's statement was very sound.

Obviously, he also took this angle of tactics into consideration.

Waver paused, then suddenly asked Emiya Kiritsugu a question: "Master Saber. Ahem, Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, you are planning to assassinate Matou Zouken alone, right? You don't care even if you die. Can you tell me how you plan to assassinate him?"

Emiya Kiritsugu said without hesitation: "Use my Origin Bullet."

Webber asked again: "What if you can't hit it? How do you create opportunities?"

Emiya Kiritsugu remained calm: "Use the Elixir of Love."

At this moment, Sakura discovered with sadness that she was the only person with common sense who thought it was outrageous that Emiya Kiritsugu used the Love Elixir on Matou Zouken, and who would ask "?" at this moment.

"You really intended to do so."

Waver let out a long sigh, as if he had guessed Emiya Kiritsugu's plan, and then Waver expressed his thoughts:
"My solution in this regard is also to use the Elixir of Love, but - I'm using it on the evil dragon!"

Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes.

Shirou took out the Poké Ball and looked at it, thinking.

Waver immediately further explained his thoughts: "I understand what Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu is thinking. You intend to use the Elixir of Love as the key to victory. I'm sure you have also thought of the approach I proposed.

In your opinion, my approach may seem to be able to rely on the power of the evil dragon to protect more people, but if I cannot kill Matou Zouken, it will only delay time at best, and I will still be doomed in the end.

It is better to use your method. Although many people will be sacrificed, more people will survive. As a magician killer, you should be very confident in assassinating the magician.

But in my opinion, we should choose to use the Elixir of Love on the evil dragon, relying on its power to protect more people - to buy more time."

Emiya Kiritsugu now felt curious.

Shirou and the others were also curious about what other "high-sounding ideas" Waver had.

Weber suddenly glanced at everyone around him and said, "Everyone, do you know the term 'network'? Do you know the term 'computer network world'?"

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded, then shook his head: "I know about the Internet and computers, but what do you mean by the computer network world?"

In 1994, this term was indeed a bit ahead of its time.

Lanis thought of something: "I remember that in order to make money, the Clock Tower lowered the admission threshold. In recent years, it has recruited more and more young, new-generation magicians of civilian origin who lack historical accumulation. It seems that many of them brought computers in?
But the so-called computer is, to put it bluntly, a computer, right? There are already computing devices in the world of magicians, and our El-Melloi's supreme gift, the 'Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid', is equivalent to a mysterious version of a supercomputer."

"This is it!"

Weber suddenly became excited:
“In fact, among the students I know, many freshmen have begun to consider using more cutting-edge new ideas and new cultures to build a new magic system because of the problem of plagiarism in their papers!
——Computer magic

Different from simple computers, computers can construct a more secular space through radio waves and codes, and build a different world in it!
Some of my classmates have already tried this idea combined with projection magic, so I thought it might work!

Then! The most crucial clue to the feasibility of this positive choice is——"

Weber took a deep breath:

"Little brother Shirou and little sister Toosaka Rin's previous description of that 'different world Chaldea'!

You may not realize it, and just think that there is an incredible magician in another world who sent Shirou's soul to this world and let him "reincarnate"!
But I understood!

The people over there are from Chaldea, and the relationship between them and our world is not just a simple parallel world!
But in their world, the computer magic system has become very advanced, to the point where it can create a "different world"!

Our world is an artificially created parallel world, created using the ancient Chaldean "planet projection" technology combined with highly developed computer magic technology!

The speed of time flowing in our two worlds is different, so it is difficult for them to accurately capture our signals.

But once the war with the Matou family begins, our world, Fuyuki City in 1994, will undergo an abnormal change, which will be equivalent to a huge signal source!
As long as we can find a way to establish contact, we can reconnect with them! Let them accurately lock the time and space nodes on our side!
Then bring them over as reinforcements!
——If we use the 'Moon Spirit Fluid' which is equivalent to a magic supercomputer and combine it with some computer magic concepts, we should be able to contact them!"

Weber let out a long breath, and after he finished speaking, he sat down again as if all his courage was exhausted.

He looked a little unconfident again, and started to make excuses for himself: "Of course, these are just my flashes of inspiration. Whether it can be realized or not... Well, even if this idea doesn't work, I actually have another idea. Once Matou summons a servant, we can also follow suit. It doesn't matter if he controls the ritual. We just need to exploit loopholes that he doesn't even know about - such as the 'sub-servant' or something like that."

"can."

Shirou made the decision without hesitation!
"Just do it! Brother Weber, I appoint you as the military advisor for this operation! If you have any ideas, just speak up. Don't hide them because you are not confident!"

Although Lanis was somewhat interested in Waver because of his speech, she was a little confused when she saw Shirou supporting Waver's crazy idea: "Shirou, how can you be sure that his idea is feasible? How are you going to convince me to hand over the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to cooperate with his crazy plan?"

reason?

A reason that can convince everyone present?
Shirou only thought about it for a moment, and then without hesitation stated his reasons:
"Avalokitesvara told me that this plan can succeed!"

Because I saw it all in the narration notes!

This is a 1D100=100 successful battle plan! Even if there are risks, the great success is here!
Danger, luck and opportunity coexist!

The battle plan is confirmed!

After the last round of sword-forging training, it was the Fuyuki Incident! The day of the decisive battle!
The 4.5th and th Holy Grail War is about to begin!
