Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"It's alright. The main thing is that she doesn't like taking shortcuts and prefers to explore step by step."

"Really? Miss Frillie is quite impressive..."

"Just call her Frillian, don't be so polite."

"I see......"

"Let's put that aside for now. May I go see Mr. Emiya?"

"You want to see Mr. Emiya? That's no problem, but is there something you need?"

"Then of course... he should take his place in the Holy Grail War; he's not suitable to participate."

"Eh?"

......

Shichen arrived alone at the door of Kiritsugu Emiya's room. He had left Frillie to play with Illya, so it wasn't appropriate for her to come along.

Irisviel didn't come along either; she was preparing rooms for them, since they would be staying there.

Perhaps it was because the time of day came so suddenly, or perhaps it was because he was Ilya's father, but Irisviel had no suspicion of him whatsoever.

Although Shichen didn't demonstrate any abilities or provide any proof, Ilya's attitude spoke volumes. Irisviel had been watching Ilya wait for her father's arrival since she was a child... She had initially thought it was just that Ilya wanted a father, but today's situation seemed to confirm it.

It was hard for her not to believe it; Ilya had indeed become pregnant with her out of nowhere, without any apparent reason.

Right now, she was just grateful that Shichen hadn't taken Ilya away; she had no time to think about anything else.

It's a good thing that the time was saved for her.

Standing at the door, Shi Chen knocked.

"Who?" a deep voice asked.

"I."

"who are you?"

"Emiya Kiritsugu, do you want to save the world?"

"what?"

Amidst the questioning voices, the door opened, revealing a middle-aged man who looked utterly dejected.

His expression was somewhat blank, and he had a scruffy beard; if he were outside, he could easily be mistaken for a homeless person.

Tokishi recognized him at a glance—a ally of justice, Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Who are you?" Kiritsugu Emiya looked up and asked in confusion.

“My name is Toki, and I’m here to save the world in your place.” Toki’s gaze fell on the back of Kiritsugu Emiya’s hand, which was gripping the door.

There was a distinct red mark on it, like three patterns pieced together.

It is a Command Seal, something only qualified participants in the Holy Grail War possess. It grants absolute command authority that allows Servants to obey, and is a mark exclusive to the Master.

This means that Kiritsugu Emiya has been chosen as one of the seven Masters for this Holy Grail War.

"Time?"

"Don't worry about whether I'm suspicious or not. You can go to Irisviel now to verify my identity."

"No need. Suspicious people wouldn't show up so openly."

"As expected of Kiritsugu-papa, he's so smart."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing the mention of time, Kiritsugu Emiya frowned.

"Ahem, don't worry about it, it was a slip of the tongue."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't seem to care. He calmly asked, "What did you mean when you said you'd save the world in my place?"

"Aren't you going to let me in to talk?"

"Come in." Kiritsugu Emiya stepped aside without hesitation.

Without hesitation, Shi Chen went straight in.

The room was a bit dark; a person with normal vision might only be able to barely see some of the furniture, but that was nothing for the time of day.

"How long have you been living here?" Shi Chen asked.

The room was very simple; besides the bed and the cabinet, there was nothing else.

“Eight years,” Kiritsugu Emiya replied.

"Eight years? You've been like this all this time?" Shi Chen exclaimed in surprise.

"Any questions?"

"As expected of you..." Shi Chen shook his head and sat down on the bedside in a familiar manner.

"So, can you answer me now?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked from behind the door without coming over.

"It's simple, you're not suited to participate in the Holy Grail War, let me do it."

"What does the Einzbern family mean?"

"No, it's my own opinion."

"Then I'm afraid I cannot comply."

"Sigh, have you forgotten what I said, that I'd save the world for you?"

"What do you mean?" Kiritsugu Emiya stared at him calmly.

"Are you thinking of obtaining the Holy Grail and wishing to save the world or something?"

How did you know...?

"I don't know how to say it on your behalf, but unfortunately, your wish cannot be fulfilled."

"why?"

"It's not that you're not good enough, nor that other magicians are stronger, but that there's something wrong with the Holy Grail," Shichen said, spreading his hands and telling the truth.

"What...does that mean?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked, bewildered.

"You may not know this, but in the last Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail absorbed the soul of an anti-hero, and it became corrupted."

"Anti-hero?"

"You don't need to understand it clearly. You just need to know that if you make a wish to the Holy Grail, you will only receive the opposite of what you wish for."

"The opposite wish?"

"Because of the pollution, wishes are interpreted in an evil direction and are often realized only in the form of destruction and disaster."

"What are you talking about?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked, confused.

"It's very simple."

Shi Chen smiled and said, "If you want to achieve the wish of world peace, then the Holy Grail will cause the extinction of all mankind."

“How…is this possible?” Kiritsugu Emiya asked incredulously.

"The world will only be at peace if humanity is gone."

"how come......"

"This is the Holy Grail now, so it cannot be allowed to be obtained by anyone else."

"what do you mean?"

"How about we destroy it?"

Chapter 290 Dad Should Sleep With Us

When Shichin came out of Kiritsugu Emiya's room, he had a faint smile on his face. He raised his left hand, and on the back of his hand was the same Command Seal as Kiritsugu Emiya's.

It's just a crystallization of magic; it's still easy for him to transfer.

He was prepared to use strong measures, but his allies were too easily persuaded.

Given the uncertainty of the future, coupled with what Toki had said, Kiritsugu Emiya really lacked confidence in himself.

After all, even if you become the ultimate victor, you may not be able to fulfill your wishes, and you may not even become the ultimate victor.

Shi Chen only briefly demonstrated his strength before he easily gave up.

As for whether he believed that Toki would save the world in his place, Kiritsugu Emiya wasn't 100% sure, but the fact that Toki didn't take strong action against him was enough.

Incidentally, Shichen also learned the current timeline: 1989.

There was still a year left until the Fourth Holy Grail War. He remembered that this was exactly the time when that poor girl had her accident.

You still have time.

"Dad, are you done?"

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Ilya noticed him, ran towards him immediately, and hugged his legs.

Shichen, holding Ilya in his arms, walked towards the dazed Freya: "It's all done~"

"Can Daddy play with me?"

"of course can."

"That's great!" Ilya excitedly hugged Shichen's neck and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hmm?" Shi Chen blinked.

"No, is it not allowed?" Ilya asked cautiously.

"Of course you can," Shi Chen smiled at her.

"Then I want this side too!" Ilya leaned in and kissed Shichen on the other side of his cheek.

chirp~

Accompanied by a soft touch, it produced a very pleasant sound.

"My good daughter~" Shichen couldn't help but rub his face against Ilya's smooth cheek.

"Hehe~"
