Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

Chapter 14 Fragments of the Third Law, the Inhuman Truth

They lost. At the finish line, Shuoyue held Ilya in her arms, leaning against Kawasaki, both with their mouths half-open, looking as if they were about to vomit.

"Yay, we won, Kiritsugu!" On the other side, while the tires of the sports car were still hissing and smoking, Irisviel had already grabbed Kiritsugu and started shaking him. Her smug look made her seem more like a child than Illya.

As for Kiritsugu... this handsome man who always wore a coat and presented himself as cold and cool was now being tossed around by his wife like a rag doll, and his entire appearance had turned gray and white.

The fact that he could render even a renowned magician assassin incapable of fighting shows just how terrifying Fuyuki the Car God is.

As for how a 90s sedan could outrun a motorcycle with far superior performance, that was due to the driver's power... no, terrifying power.

Having grown up in Eindzbern, Irisviel's familiarity with the forest far surpasses that of Shuoyue.

After being left far behind by Shuoyue at the very beginning of the race, Irisviel made a quick decision and turned the steering wheel to rush into the side road.

It was a shortcut she discovered by chance. Although it could get her to the destination faster, it was also very dangerous for a large car. If she wasn't careful, she could crash into a tree, with disastrous consequences.

Even before, Irisviel had never dared to try, but today, in order to win, she bravely challenged the difficulties!

Perhaps it was because Fuyuki truly deserved her title as the racing legend, or perhaps it was because she was blessed by heaven, but Irisviel navigated the journey without major incident, ultimately overtaking Sakugetsu by using a side road and reaching the finish line a step earlier.

...At least that's how the match was perceived by Mrs. Tianran.

Of course, from the perspective of the other three parties involved, it was a completely different story.

For example, a magician assassin who used "time control" several times, was in pain all over his body, and had to be shaken around by his wife.

For example, a little girl who was almost thrown off several times, like riding a roller coaster, and was almost scared to tears.

And the "displacement" and "projection" magic never stopped. He cleared the road in advance so that the car could pass safely. As a result, his magic went out of control and almost sent Ilya flying. The young man was so scared that he almost had a heart attack.

The world where only wives are happy is complete.jpg

Thus, with four votes in favor and one vote against, the first and last Einzbern racing competition came to an end.

"Oh, right, Mr. Shirou~" Irisviel, who was helping Kiritsugu Emiya and Illya back to their room to rest, seemed to remember something, turned to look at Sakumoku, and smiled brightly:

"Although I still don't know Shirou's purpose, I believe you are a good person!"

After the Emiya family of this world left, Sakuzuki looked at her hands and couldn't help but smile.

You can give out "good guy" cards, but if you're going to say you're a "good guy," then you don't need to.

What she inherited was not Shirou Emiya, who yearned to be a "partner of justice," but another possibility: someone who would fight against the world for his sister.

Even Shuoyue knew that she could not bear such heavy praise.

But once he thinks of Irisviel and Illya's innocent smiles, even he would feel the urge to protect something, right?

Irisviel von Einzbern

[Character Information]: Homunculi created by the Einzbern family in preparation for the Fourth Holy Grail War...

[Hidden Information]: Passionate about cooking, mainly producing terrible dishes. Because she is an artificial human, she has only accumulated nine years of life experience in terms of emotions, which makes her possess both the elegance of a noblewoman and the childishness of a child, making her a somewhat troublesome princess.

In other words, although the wife's physical characteristics are mature, her actual mental age is only nine years old, therefore our heir...

A tiny fragment emitting a colorless light appeared in Shuoyue's consciousness, flickering and pulsating like a dazzling star.

With a mere thought, Shuoyue could gain the opportunity to come into contact with one of the five great laws existing in the world: the Third Law. Such a generous gift was enough to drive countless magicians mad.

However, Shuoyue had no intention of using the fragments now—if the Third Law were so easy to comprehend, the Einzberns wouldn't have pursued it for a thousand years without success.

He now has a more serious situation to deal with.

Looking at her palm again, this time, Shuoyue's golden pupils seemed to reflect flowing blue particles.

During the racing competition, his magic stopped outputting for a moment—which is why Ilya almost flew out of control, and why Sakumoku lagged behind Irisviel.

If I had to describe it, it was like a moment of mental confusion. When she came to her senses, Ilya had already jumped up from her seat with a gasp.

You must figure out what's wrong with you.

A sense of unknown fear gripped her heart. Shuoyue turned to look at Ahadaw, her tone unconsciously taking on a cold tinge:

"I hope Einzbern won't let me down. Let's go."

"Hmph, just follow me."

Having mastered the world's most advanced puppetry technology, Einzbern's examination equipment was naturally the most advanced of its time. Before long, Ahardion handed over the report he had written himself to the new moon.

“Your hands are trembling, Yubstakuhaid von Einzbern.” The golden-eyed youth took the report and warned coldly, “If I feel the greed in your eyes again, I think it’s time for Einzbern to change his leader.”

The old man, who had lived for two hundred years, remained silent and lowered his head deeply, not letting Shuoyue see the emotions churning in his eyes.

Only then did Shuoyue secretly take a deep breath and look at the paper in her hand.

"Based on the three levels of magical stimulation, it can be concluded that the tested individual possesses magical power exceeding the standard parameters by a hundred times, indicating a possibility of connecting to the Great Source. No, perhaps it's more than that..."

"No primate factors detected, ability parameters exceed all data, suspected to be a fantasy species..."

"The body experienced an overload of magic power output within five hours, causing an abnormal reaction. This adverse reaction will end in two hours."

"It is driven by the consumption of magic power. Apart from being able to use magic without magic circuits, its other physiological reactions are no different from those of an ordinary person. If it is no longer overloaded, it is expected to stop operating after 8,520 hours."

Like the old man's handwriting, as Shuoyue read on, her heart was increasingly shaken, until finally, she felt as cold as if she were standing alone under a snowy night.

So that explains why the Origin Bullet had no effect on him, why his magic power level rose abnormally, and why such an unexpected event occurred during the competition...

Ah, I see.

From the moment he awoke, the young man was living in a non-human body.

He has no magic circuits; in every battle, every time he uses magic—

All of these came at the cost of lives.

Chapter 15: Finally Arriving in Fuyuki City

Magic Circuit

The pseudo-nerves that magicians possess.

It is both a pathway for transforming life force into magic and a grand magical pathway that connects to form the foundation.

The number of circuits a person can have at birth is predetermined, and the existence of magician families is precisely to produce offspring who can produce even just one more magic circuit.

Once opened, it can be activated freely according to the caster's will. The number of magic circuits is used as a benchmark to judge a magician's talent. For example, Shirou Emiya has 27 magic circuits, and Rin Tohsaka has 40 main magic circuits and 30 auxiliary magic circuits.

Of course, there are also special cases. For example, the Einzbern homunculi were created as magical circuits to become the core of the Greater Grail. After Justiza became the Greater Grail, the magical circuits expanded and multiplied to a diameter of nearly one kilometer.

For example, there are heretics who skip the "magic circuit" as an intermediary and directly use life force to perform magic.

Of course, this is nothing to be proud of.

For Shuoyue, this devastating news meant that he had to abandon his carefree attitude towards life, because he no longer had the freedom to do so. Instead, he had to take the initiative and use his foresight and his special abilities to prolong his countdown to death.

After tearing up the report and forcing Ahardon to sign the "self-mandated essay" that he could not disobey, Shuoyue rode his beloved Kawasaki away from Einzbern and did not return to Winter City until dusk.

Silent all night.

After that, Einzbern returned to peace, except for the appearance of a white-haired, golden-eyed youth who wandered through Einzbern's library, eagerly absorbing the magical heritage of the Winter City over the past thousand years.

Illya still loves to come and play with Sakutsuki, and Sakutsuki can never refuse her request. Every time, he would put down his book with a wry smile, saying, "Don't bother me next time," while generously performing magic. Afterwards, under the clear sky, he would watch over Illya with Kiritsugu Emiya or Irisviel, accompanying her through her happy childhood.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

There is only one year left until the start of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

The next morning, Sakuzuki, dressed in a new suit and carrying a motorcycle helmet, bid farewell to the Emiya Kiritsugu family.

"Is Onii-chan leaving?" Illya clutched the hem of Sakugetsu's clothes, her ruby-like eyes filled with reluctance. "Can't you stay here with Illya forever?"

The golden-eyed youth knelt down and gently stroked Illya's long hair, just as he had when they first met, his voice gentle and melodious: "There's no way around it, the destiny of a Kamen Rider is to wander around."

"Shirou is saying things we don't understand again." Illya pouted angrily, her cute appearance bringing a smile to everyone present.

Of course, this excludes Kiritsugu Emiya.

The magician assassin stared intently at Shuoyue's left hand, or more precisely, at the black fingerless glove that the young man had put on seven days ago and had never taken off since, his gaze lingering on it for a long time.

Could it be that……

"Goodbye, Kiritsugu, my wife, and my lovely little princess. It's a pity I didn't live to see that girl arrive, but I must continue on my journey. See you all in the future."

Shuoyue was not one to drag things out. After a brief farewell, he got on his motorcycle and left the winter city where snow had fallen for a thousand years.

"A young girl...?" Irisviel tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. "Strange, will anyone else visit Winter Castle later?"

They certainly wouldn't understand, because when that girl arrived, the fate of the Emiya family would also face an irreversible end—if the person named Sakugetsu had never existed.

Annecy, France

Annecy is the most beautiful town in the Alps. The French call it the "Balcony of the Alps," while the locals call it the "Venice of Savoie." Legend has it that Lake Annecy in the town is made from snow and ice from the Alps and is considered the cleanest lake in all of Europe.

Having come all this way, Shuoyue had no reason not to check it out. Right there by Lake Anasi, he met a young man from the East. They became acquainted after helping an old man whose wallet had been stolen, and they became temporary travel companions.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you why you came here yet, Shuoyue." The handsome man with black hair and black eyes, dressed in sportswear, looked at the shimmering Lake Anasi and asked casually.

"It's just about seizing the last moments to enjoy life before fate arrives." The golden-eyed youth leaned against the lawn, his demeanor languid, showing no sign of urgency.

"That's quite something..." The man, still retaining traces of his chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) genes, chuckled, pointed at Shuoyue with his finger, and joked, "At your age, you're always talking about fate and such. What's wrong, pre-wedding jitters?"

"I'm not the type to be afraid of my girlfriend." Shuoyue opened her eyes and lazily glanced at the man. "Speaking of which, you're the least qualified to talk about me, aren't you? I remember when you were drunk last night, you seemed to mutter something like 'As long as Aoi is happy' and 'What's so great about Tohsaka Tokiomi'. Could it be... that the girl you like ran off with someone else?"

After a pause, Sakuyue said the man's name: "Am I right? Matou Kariya?"

"Shut up!" Matou Kariya's playful expression vanished, replaced by panic and embarrassment at having his secret exposed. "I didn't say anything like that, absolutely not! You must have misheard me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right." Shuoyue was too lazy to expose the man's clumsy lie.
