Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

"You gave me a happiness I never dared to hope for."

[Emiya Kiritsugu's icy expression finally changed.]

"I'm sorry, I wanted you to see more of the world."

Irisviel: "That's enough. Leave the happiness I never had to myself to Ilya."

"Alice, what's wrong with your body?!"

Upon seeing the situation in the video, Artoria hurriedly began to examine Irisviel's body.

"Don't worry, Saber, I'm fine."

Irisviel smiled and comforted her, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

Sure enough, that time was about to arrive.

She wished time could stop so she could live a little longer.

But there was no other way; for Kiritsugu's ideals, this was a necessary sacrifice.

Time flew by, and dusk was fast approaching.

[Kiritsugu Emiya is nowhere to be found, and Artoria is also absent, leaving only Maiya Hisau to guard the place.]

"Maiya, why are you fighting for Kiritsugu?"

[Irisviel looked at Hisau Maiya, who was organizing her weapons, and spoke.]

"Because I have nothing else."

[Hiyuu Maiya continued moving, her face expressionless, and replied, "My family, my original name—I can't remember any of them now."]

"Kuyu Maiya, that's the name on the first fake passport Kiritsugu made for me."

"The only thing I remember is that the country I was born in was very poor, but the war never stopped."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? They're struggling to even get enough to eat, yet they're still killing each other every day."

["Later, someone suggested that instead of recruiting and training soldiers, it would be better to just abduct children from other areas and let them take up arms and fight directly."]

"That's when I was abducted."

"After that, my heart and soul died; only my body remained, numbly alive."

"My life boils down to one thing: killing the enemy."

"Apart from this thought, all other emotions have been abandoned by me."

"Later, I met Kiritsugu; he was the one who rescued me from the battlefield."

"From that moment on, I became a weapon fighting for him; it's that simple."

"..."

Waver, Rin Tohsaka, and the others fell silent.

Hisayu Maiya's past was just too dark and oppressive.

"Ugh..."

Feng Xi also felt somewhat emotional about this.

Hisayu Maiya was actually being very subtle; the truth is far darker.

For a woman like Hisayu Maiya, living in that kind of place is not a blessing, but a nightmare.

She is not only a weapon for fighting enemies, but also a tool for men to vent their desires.

Even Kiritsugu Emiya didn't know that Maiya Hisau had actually already had a son.

Because this son was the product of her sexual assault, and a shame she could never shake off for the rest of her life.

Chapter 82 Kenneth: What goes around comes around

"Actually, Madam, it's your enthusiasm that surprised me."

[Maiya Hisau approached Irisviel and said, "You were born in a castle and have never seen the outside world, yet you were willing to fight to the death for Kiritsugu."]

"I didn't actually understand Kiritsugu's ideals."

Irisviel smiled wryly. "My so-called ideals are all clumsy imitations of Kiritsugu."

"But you can't tell him, after all, I've always been affirming him, pretending to be his confidant."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "..."

"Kiritsugu, I..."

Irisviel looked at the silent Kiritsugu Emiya and didn't know how to explain.

"fine."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't care about this.

Because he already knew.

Despite Irisviel's best efforts to pretend in front of him, she still made many mistakes.

But none of that matters, as long as he's willing to stand by my side.

[Hiyuu Maiya: "Madam, don't you have any wishes?"]

Irisviel: "I hope Kiritsugu and Saber obtain the Holy Grail."

[Hisau Maiya: "Is it to fulfill the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish to popularize the Third Law?"]

"No, it's for the end of the war."

Irisviel said with a sorrowful expression, "I hope this fourth battle will be the last."

[Hiyuu Mai: "It's for your daughter."]

[Irisviel: "Yes, if Kiritsugu and I fail this time, next time it will be Illya's turn."]

"This is the fate of the Einzbern family's artificial life forms."

"Illya..."

Kiritsugu Emiya unconsciously clenched his fist.

Artoria also thought of that lovely girl and said seriously, "Alice, don't worry, I will definitely help you win."

She was born into the Einzbern family and had met Ilya several times after her arrival.

Irisviel smiled and said, "Thank you, Saber."

[Irisviel: "Maimi, what about you?"]

[Hiyuu Mai: "I never thought I'd live to see the end."]

"Don't have those kinds of thoughts."

Irisviel advised, "I hope you will live for yourself, and search for your family and your name, because those are things you must never forget."

"I hope you can live on in my place, Maimi."

"Madam, you..."

Looking at Irisviel's serious expression, Hisau Maiya was momentarily speechless.

[“Bang!”]

Just then, the warehouse door was smashed open.

[Video paused.]

[Question: Who was the attacker?]

[A: Iskandar; B: Gilgamesh; C: Lancelot.]

[Please answer within five minutes; failure to do so will be considered a forfeit.]

Weber: "Hmm? This question only has three options?"

Feng Xi: "After all, it's the first question, so the difficulty can't be too high."

I said that, but I was secretly laughing out loud.

The very first question was a huge trap.

Rin Tohsaka: "Do we even need to guess? It's definitely Gilgamesh. Who else could it be but that guy?"

King of Heroes: "You bastard, don't presume to know what I am."

Rin Tohsaka: "See, there was no rebuttal, which proves that he approves of it himself."

King of Heroes: "..."

"Is this question really that easy?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka, Kiritsugu Emiya, and the others all had their doubts.

After all, there have been too many plot twists in the past, so they are really worried.

After thinking about it, they almost all chose one option each.

I'd be hoping to get three questions right in a row, but at least I should get one right first.
