"As expected, you have spies at home." Kariya stopped walking, put his hands on his hips, and sighed, "It's really watertight."

"You're too kind. Since you're both a soldier and a military advisor, you must have more tricks." Shuoyue stopped.

"I'm going to participate in the Holy Grail War, Sakutsuki."

"I seem to have said that the Holy Grail you are pursuing cannot fulfill wishes."

“People will never cry until they are in the coffin, Shuoyue.” There was no wavering on Kariya’s face. “It’s like a bottle with a label of ‘regret pills’ placed there. Even if you told me that there was poison inside, I would still take a pill.”

"Even if I die?"

"Are you stupid, Shuoyue? I'm a magician, how can I be killed by a simple poison?" Kariya made a joke, then waved his hand and walked to the other side with his servants.

The black knight followed behind Kariya like a ghost, following him closely. After the three Command Spells ended, Lancelot lost his mind again, but judging from the relieved smile before he turned berserk, it was obvious that this flower of knights had already obtained the redemption he wanted.

And Shuoyue watched Yanye leave, then turned around and walked away with his back to Yanye.

"Then let's go too, Miyu."

The streets were empty and there was no familiar response from behind.

!!!

"Meiyu!" Shuoyue turned his head suddenly, but found that his sister was no longer behind him. There was only a piece of paper floating in front of Shuoyue as if it had calculated the time accurately, and he reached out and grabbed it.

After quickly scanning the contents of the note, Shuoyue tore it into pieces, and a rare gloomy look appeared in his eyes.

"Don't let me find you..."

A secret location

"The test results are out." Hisau Maiya handed the report to Kiritsugu who was sitting beside the bed.

They were currently in the base Kiritsugu had prepared long ago. All the equipment inside was secretly transferred from the Einzbern Castle. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a special workshop specialized in magic.

For Illya, the artificial android and the Little Holy Grail, ordinary technological means will only be interfered with by the rich magical factors in her body. Kiritsugu Emiya brought Illya here without stopping just to give her a thorough examination.

After listening to Maiya's report, Emiya Kiritsugu took the report, but did not check it immediately. Instead, he stared at Illya who was sleeping peacefully on the bed for a long time, then took a deep breath and suddenly opened the report.

The report written in black and white still exuded the scent of ink, soothing Kiritsugu's tense spirit. However, the content written on the report dragged Emiya Kiritsugu's spirit into the abyss.

Hisau Maiya watched worriedly as Emiya Kiritsugu's expression changed from calm to pale, and then to despair, like a cheetah with its claws and teeth plucked out, and finally let out a desperate growl:

"Really? Is this your purpose... Shuoyue?"

"What a joke! What a joke! You idiot!"

According to the report, Illyasviel was fine except for her heart.

Someone had tampered with her heart.

The crystals composed of alien magic are hidden in Illya's heart in a tight structure. Once the conditions are triggered, sharp thorns will pop out and pierce Illya's heart.

As for the alien magic power, the detection equipment also matched the corresponding source.

Beautiful tour.

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu had completely understood why the young man did not take Illya as a hostage, but instead sent her back and handed her over to them.

It was as if the young man stood before him, leaning over and whispering:

Do you still want your daughter to live, or do you still want to pursue the Holy Grail?

For Emiya Kiritsugu, this was an extremely cruel choice.

This means that he can only choose one between his dream and family affection, or lose both - there is no fourth option other than this.

Deathly silence fell in the base, and Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was burned by an extremely scorching flame, causing him unbearable pain.

Maiya on the side would not say a word. She unconditionally obeyed Kiritsugu's choice and followed everything he did.

Unless her brain has been tampered with in some way.

"What do you think is happiness, Kiritsugu?"

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was struggling internally, looked at Maiya in surprise, but without thinking too much, he just replied in a lonely tone:

"Happiness... Haha, I'm just a dreamer who hopes for world peace. 'Happiness' is too precious and fragile. It's not something that my blood-stained hands can touch."

"But in my opinion, you already have happiness, Kiritsugu."

Like a bystander who had nothing to do with the matter, Hisau Maiya commented on the man she had entrusted her life to:

"Madam and Miss Illya love you deeply, and you love them too."

Kiritsugu covered his face with his hands, and his voice leaked out from between his fingers: "Yes, I love them deeply, I love them more than anyone else in the world... I am willing to give everything for them."

But he also understood what decision he, the man named Emiya Kiritsugu, might make if his justice required sacrificing this innocent life.

"Then why can't there be a 'mission' and a 'dream' among all the things we offer?"

The woman in black asked.

Emiya Kiritsugu shuddered all over, and after a long time he raised his head, staring at his silver-haired daughter on the bed with dry eyes.

He still remembered the feeling of hugging her and rushing all the way to the base. To this day, Illya's body is still petite and weak, just like when she was just born. The feeling of holding her in his arms is like holding a handful of first snow, as if it would collapse with the slightest shake. It is so slender that it is frightening...

Could he really be so cruel as to sacrifice her, just as he had sacrificed her mother?

……

……

……

He lost the answer.

Now that I think about it, something must have gone wrong with the execution machine called Emiya Kiritsugu since the winter eight years ago, right?

With such self-mockery, Emiya Kiritsugu turned his eyes away from Illya and reached for the cigarette case in his pocket.

"Second-hand smoke is bad for children, Kiritsugu, please go out and smoke."

OK "

Group, understand?

Speaking of which, I am probably the only one who still urges people to join the book club...

Chapter 142 Kiritsugu's Decadence and the Mysterious New Moon

When Kiritsugu returned with the sleeping Illya, he happened to see Irisviel and Kiritsugu coming out of the courtyard together.

Judging from the fact that they were having a great time talking to each other, tonight's family-like party must have left a deep impression on them.

But I want to...

His eyes darkened, and Kiritsugu handed Illya to Irisviel in the face of her surprise, and said:

"Ally, come to the hall later. I have something to tell you."

After a while.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked like he was unemployed, an alcoholic, and had just been diagnosed with cancer. He sat dejectedly on a bench in the atrium, pulling his hair with his hands.

When he told his wife about Illya, Irisviel was indeed angry.

But the reason for his anger was not because of Sakutsuki, but because of Kiritsugu.

She was angry at Kiritsugu's hesitation at this moment.

She was angry about a possibility in the future.

For Irisviel, there was no comparison between the people of the world who had nothing to do with her and her beloved daughter Illya.

"Although I will no longer exist, I hope you can realize your ideal and create a world where no one has to cry like you. When that day comes, you can hold your head high as an ordinary father and hug Illya. But if even Illya is gone, who will be able to accompany you for the rest of your life?"

"Won't such a future make you feel empty, Kiritsugu!"

Speaking in such an intense tone, it seems that Airi is really angry... Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette. The cheap cigarettes he bought at a convenience store on the way gave him a different feeling.

This was the first time the couple had quarreled.

However, compared to eight years ago, Ai Li has indeed grown a lot spiritually.

What about me?

Am I still the same person I used to be?

Just like tonight, even though he knew that so many Servants and Masters had gathered in the castle, he resolutely left the center of the vortex with Illya and voluntarily gave up this excellent assassination opportunity - was this really what the cold-blooded magician killer would do?

Unable to find the answer, Kiritsugu could only look up at the sky and watch the smoke drifting into the air and dissipating.

next morning

When Toosaka Rin opened her eyes, she unexpectedly found herself lying on a soft big bed.

After trying to open his eyes wide and gradually adapting to the light around him, Lin realized that there was someone lying next to him.

"Ah!" She stood up with a scream, and used her hands and feet to stick to the wall. Lin looked at the figure beside her with a vigilant look as she was awakened, turned over and sat up, then rubbed her eyes and greeted her cutely.

"Good morning, sister~"

"Sakura?" Rin suddenly felt dazed, as if she was back to a few years ago when Sakura had not yet been sent to the Matou family.

But her sister's purple eyes and long purple hair reminded her that time is fleeting and can never be returned.

Wait, wait, wait, now is not the time to think about that. The question is, how did I end up here?

Toosaka Rin frowned, trying hard to recall what happened last night.

I ran away from home and sneaked into Uncle Kariya's house, then my eyes went dark and I came here.

Um, ran away from home...

She didn't even have time to think about why her eyes went dark, and Toosaka Rin's expression became obviously panicked.

Didn't he run away from home for a whole night?

This is terrible, this is definitely discovered by my mother...

"Don't worry, brother has already talked to mom." Sakura saw what her sister was thinking and said sympathetically, "Except that mom threatened to spank you hard, everything else is fine."

"Is this still good?" Toosaka Rin pursed her lips, already imagining the tragic ending.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door. Someone stood at the sisters' door and knocked gently:

"Ladies, breakfast is ready, please come down and eat."

"Okay, brother!" Toosaka Rin saw that Sakura's eyes were visibly brightened. She, who was still sleepy, jumped out of bed, put on her slippers, and ran out of the room. Then she realized something and ran back, holding Toosaka Rin's hand.

"Eh? What's the rush, Sakura?"

"If you don't go now, the breakfast will get cold, and it won't taste good if it's cold, sister!"

"But, but I haven't put on my shoes yet!"

After washing up, I sat at the table and started eating breakfast.

At first, Rin was still acting like a big lady, saying things like "I won't eat other people's food casually", but after being coaxed by Sakura into taking a bite, she immediately fell in love with it. Finally, under Sakutsuki's half-smile, she blushed and obediently picked up her chopsticks.

Really fragrant warning.jpg

Shuoyue, who had not slept all night, did not eat with the two lolis. He sat in a corner by himself, and kept making various weapons with his left hand, throwing them into the open imaginary pocket below like taking out garbage. His right hand projected the 'Red Rose that Destroys Demons' and the 'Yellow Rose that Destroys Surely' at regular intervals, and also sent them into the imaginary space.

In your spare time, looking at the two girls enjoying their breakfast will help you relax a lot after working late at night.

Although due to the timeline issue, these two daughters of the Tousaka family can only be seen but not eaten.

"Brother, what are you doing? It's time to have breakfast." Sakura noticed Sakutsuki's actions and waved the chopsticks in her hand with a smile, but was rejected by the latter with a smile.

"No need, I've already eaten." Sakutsuki said something that no one believed, then he stood up and touched Xiaoying's head.

"I'm going on a long trip today. Take care of yourself and your sister."

"Ok!"

"The meal is already prepared and in the refrigerator. Just heat it up and you can eat it. Be careful not to burn yourself."

"Ok!"

"Sakura is so good. Also, I have set up a replacement magic outside. You and Rin should not step out of the barrier, otherwise you will be teleported to the confinement room."
