Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[The first question is finished. Now we begin the second question.]

[This is a multiple-choice question. Please watch the following video carefully and then answer the question.]

At midnight, two figures, one tall and one short, sat by the edge of the courtyard, gazing at the bright, full moon in the sky.

[The larger one is someone everyone recognizes; it's none other than Kiritsugu Emiya.]

The smaller one was a red-haired boy.

[The boy's name is thoughtfully provided next to the picture: Emiya Shirou.]

"Hello, hello, Dad?"

[Shirou Emiya, seeing that Kiritsugu Emiya had remained silent for a while, spoke up.]

【"Um?"】

Kiritsugu Emiya didn't move, only responding softly.

[Emiya Shirou: "If you want to sleep, go to bed, Dad!"]

[Emiya Kiritsugu: "No, it's alright, I'm fine."]

Kenneth: "Emiya Kiritsugu, so you have a son too, huh?"

Weber: "Mr. Kenneth, that's a bit..."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "..."

He is now completely bewildered because he has no idea where the son in the video comes from.

Could it be that in the future, she and Irisviel will have another son?

Does this mean that he has won this Holy Grail War?

"When I was little, I aspired to be a champion of justice."

After a long silence, Kiritsugu Emiya slowly spoke.

"What do you mean?"

Emiya Shirou asked with some curiosity, "When you say 'in the past,' do you mean you've given up now?"

"Yes, unfortunately, we've given up."

[Kiritsugu Emiya chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Heroes have an expiration date. Once you grow up, you're no longer a hero. I wish I had realized that sooner."]

"Is that so? Then there's nothing we can do."

[Emiya Shirou seemed to understand, but not quite.]

"Yes, there's really no other way."

Kiritsugu Emiya looked up and remarked, "...What a beautiful moon."

King of Heroes: "Ha, a partner of justice, that's hilarious."

Kenneth: "I never imagined that the so-called Magician Killer would have such a ridiculous ideal."

Artoria: "Kiritsugu, you..."

Even our king found it hard to believe.

That Kiritsugu Emiya, who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, actually had such a dream.

Father Mapo: "..."

Kirei Kotomine was also somewhat incredulous.

The man she considered a 'confidant' had such a naive and simple dream.

Kirei Kotomine was born without the knowledge of happiness because he had emotional deficiencies since childhood.

To put it bluntly, he's just a clueless, expressionless person.

As an adult, Kirei Kotomine will do his best to study whatever he comes into contact with, because he is searching.

He wanted to find that so-called sense of happiness, but he could never get the fluctuation called 'pleasure'.

Even his wife Claudia's suicide did not affect him in the slightest.

But Kirei Kotomine did not give up just like that.

He abandoned his daughter Karen, changed jobs all over the world, and constantly searched for the meaning of his life.

It wasn't until later that he noticed Kiritsugu Emiya.

In her eyes, Kiritsugu Emiya was risking his life to carry out various assassinations, and the rewards were completely disproportionate to the risks. What was driving him to continue like this?

Only a firm life goal could motivate him to fight so recklessly, even at the cost of his life.

Thus, Kirei Kotomine became convinced that Kiritsugu Emiya was someone who could help him understand the meaning of life, and he kept trying to get in touch with him, but never had the chance.

In the original work, Gilgamesh took the lead and made Kirei Kotomine realize the idea that "human nature is inherently evil," which made him become a pervert like Ryunosuke Uryu, who took pleasure in watching others suffer.

Therefore, when Kirei Kotomine later learned that Kiritsugu Emiya harbored the dream of becoming a 'partner of justice', he felt betrayed and hated him intensely.

Due to their differing ideologies, Kiritsugu Emiya also deeply disliked Kirei Kotomine.

These two people have become completely opposite.

However, Kirei Kotomine has not yet fallen into the so-called 'pleasure of evil,' so after discovering that Kiritsugu Emiya actually finds pleasure in doing good, he only feels more confused.

At this time, Kirei Kotomine was at Tokiomi Tohsaka's house, with Tokiomi Tohsaka and Gilgamesh.

Lost in thought, Kirei Kotomine didn't notice that although Gilgamesh was constantly criticizing Kiritsugu Emiya in the group chat, his gaze was fixed on him, and his eyes were flashing with a wicked light.

Clearly, he had already started to have that idea in mind.

Feng Xi: "Hey, are you guys ever going to stop? Is it wrong to want to be partners in justice?"

Seeing Kenneth and Gilgamesh endlessly mocking Emiya Kiritsugu in the group chat, Feng Xi, a model young man, couldn't stand it anymore and started criticizing them.

He simply couldn't understand these two guys' way of thinking. In their eyes, was wanting to become a partner of justice really that ridiculous?

In Feng Xi's memory, every child has had such a dream.

Although we are all worn down by reality as we grow up, what's wrong with retaining a bit of childhood innocence?

Men are young until they die.

Feng Xi: "Golden Flash, Kenneth, is it really that ridiculous for someone to dream of becoming a righteous hero?"

Feng Xi: "Or is it that your dream is actually to become villains despised by everyone, which is why you find this dream ridiculous?"

Chapter 21: Kiritsugu Emiya's Private Life Was Actually This Chaotic

(Kuyu Maiya)

Kenneth: "..."

Director Ken was speechless after Feng Xi's words.

Although he admits he's not a good person, he can't admit he's a villain.

Feng Xi: "And you, Jin Shanshan, why did you kill the Heavenly Bull in the first place?"

Feng Xi: "Is it to save the suffering people, or for your own face?"

Feng Xi: "If you say it's for yourself, then I despise you, because you have completely betrayed Enkidu's sacrifice."

King of Heroes: "You bastard! I've tolerated you for far too long!"

Feng Xi's words successfully hit Jin Shanshan's sore spot.

Feng Xi: "Pah, it should be that I've been putting up with you for a long time."

Feng Xi: "To be honest, Tokiomi Tohsaka, I really feel sorry for you."

Feng Xi: "Why did you have to summon this rude tyrant Gilgamesh of such an inappropriate age?"

In his youth, Gilgamesh was indeed an unruly thug; otherwise, the gods would not have sent Enkidu to guide him and help him become a worthy king.

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "!!!"

How did I end up getting dragged into this for no reason? Don't involve me in your arguments!

This kid got me into trouble! Didn't you know that Gilgamesh was right next to me?

King of Heroes: "Ahhh! Feng Xi! You!"

King of Heroes: "Just wait, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"

Feng Xi: "Bring it on."

Although Zhang Jiao and Red Hare were no match for Gilgamesh in a one-on-one fight, they were not fighting alone.

Moreover, they have an advantage that Gilgamesh doesn't have: bonuses.

Servants summoned by the Holy Grail can receive local and reputation bonuses.

Because a Heroic Spirit's abilities come entirely from humanity's understanding of that Heroic Spirit, or what is known as intelligence.

The place with the most information about a Heroic Spirit is naturally his hometown.

Servants who participate in the Holy Grail War will receive a significant bonus if they are fighting on their homeland.

The most typical example is Vlad III, a Servant who appears in Fate/Apocrypha.
