In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong from the beginning. If only Haruno was invited to the banquet, why did they have to bring her and Kira along?

Now it seems this is most likely another prank, or perhaps someone still trying to test her relationship with Kira-kun. Although the cost is a bit high, considering the five million yen that Kou promised Kira-kun is no small sum.

"So, it really wasn't made up!"

Yukino was a little discouraged. What could she say to Yukino to make her believe her?

But you can't blame Yukino for that. She can't contact anyone right now, and she can't even get through on the phone.

Yukino looked at Yoshikage Kira with hopeful eyes:

"Hey, Kira-kun, you'll believe me, right?"

"I believe."

"Huh?"

Yukino blinked. Kira Yoshikage's answer was quite unexpected; she had thought he would side with Yukino.

"Right, right?"

Yukino was greatly encouraged and her mood became cheerful. "I've been to the Einzbern family's castle before. Although it's not shown on the map for some reason, I still remember the route. You'll know that what I said is true when you see the castle!"

Yukino Yukinoshita did not voice any further questions, but her eyes still held a hint of suspicion.

She couldn't completely trust Yang Nai because she knew very well what kind of personality her older sister had.

However, she didn't think that Kira Yoshikage was simply dealing with Haruno, which meant that the Einzbern family might actually exist.

But if the Einzbern family really exists, why can't we contact them?

Could something have gone wrong?

Yukino was still pondering when Haruno suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"I clearly remember there being a road here, but why, why isn't it here?"

Yoshikage Kira looked in the direction the car was traveling and saw a dense primeval forest ahead.

Not long after exiting the highway, Yang drove onto this country road that wasn't even paved with asphalt.

But at the end of the road was only a forest that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see; there was no trace of the snow-covered path she remembered.

Yukino almost instinctively wanted to slam on the brakes, but Yoshikage Kira suddenly spoke up:

"Keep driving."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked incredulous, but there was no road in front of her at all!

"Sister, listen to Kira-kun."

Yukino Yukinoshita whispered, "There's a barrier nearby. That forest is just an illusion. Speed ​​up and rush over there."

"A barrier?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Yukino's eyes, but after hesitating for a long time, the girl finally decided to step on the gas.

Die or die!

hum!

With the roar and tremors of the engine, the car suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the forest ahead.

Just moments before crashing into a towering tree, Yukinoshita Haruno instinctively closed her eyes out of fear.

But after waiting for a long time, the expected impact never came, and the car continued to speed forward.

"Huh? How could this be..."

Yukinoshita Haruno opened her eyes in surprise and let out a gasp.

A crystal-clear snowflake drifted down from the sky and landed on the car's windshield.

It was summer, and just seconds before she had seen a lush green forest.

But what appears before us now is a scene of heavy snowfall!

It's beautiful, but it doesn't make any sense at all!

That's not scientific at all!

"It seems that my sister has an extraordinary friend."

Yukino's sigh sounded completely baffling to Haruno, who couldn't help but ask:

"Yukino, what exactly is going on?"

“I will explain it to you properly, but for now, let’s go to the castle first.”

The girl stretched out her fair finger and pointed to the magnificent castle that stood tall on the eastern land at the end of the road.

Following the direction she pointed, Yukino looked at the castle, which was exactly the same as she remembered.

She had been here before, but it was winter then, and she hadn't even noticed anything unusual.

On the way to the castle.

Yukino also saw another car, a car that had broken down in the snow.

A black-haired man in a black trench coat was doing repairs on the hood of a car. When he noticed a car driving by and saw the three people inside through the window, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It seemed unexpected that others besides himself had also been invited.

Although they saw someone stranded in the snow, the three people in the car tacitly chose to ignore it, and none of them offered to get out of the car to help.

"Yukino."

Yoshikage Kira called out.

The intimate address made Yukino Yukinoshita glance at her sideways, her expression becoming somewhat subtle. Something was definitely off about you two!

By this time, the car had already driven to the main gate of the castle.

The maid, completely covered up from head to toe, even her hair was wrapped up, was already waiting at the door.

Seeing the three people get out of the car, she looked somewhat surprised, but still bowed her head respectfully.

“Honorable guest, Chief Ahad has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me.”

"Ahad?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat surprised. The last time she came, the head of the Einzbern family didn't have this name!

Is her memory faulty?

Or has the head of the Einzbern family changed?

What about Irisviel? Could something have happened to her?

Yukinoshita was somewhat uneasy as she was led by a maid to a living room with a fireplace burning.

On the living room sofa, the silver-haired, silver-bearded old man watched the three people entering the hall led by the maid, his expression somewhat surprised. He seemed to have not expected that Kiritsugu Emiya would bring other people here, and women at that, more than one.

Although the rumored Kiritsugu Emiya is supposed to be a cold-hearted, ruthless, and heartless magician killer who shows no mercy to his enemies, even to the elderly and children, with no weaknesses or emotions.

But when they actually met, he immediately felt that the man in front of him seemed very different from the rumors.

The two girls were undoubtedly exceptionally beautiful, and they looked quite young, probably still teenagers. This seemed to offer some insight into his sexual preferences.

If he really is a womanizer, then that would be even better.

The Einzbern family lacks everything, except for beautiful artificial humans.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is just a disguise.

Just as no one has ever seen Kiritsugu Emiya's true face, even the face we see now might just be a disguise.

Snapped!

The maid respectfully withdrew from the living room and closed the door.

But for some reason, the moment the door closed...

The maid's eyes were somewhat dazed.

"Emiya Kiritsugu".

After the maid left the living room, the old man fixed his sharp, hawk-like gaze on Yoshikage Kira. "Nice to meet you. My name is Yubustakuhaid von Einzbern, the eighth head of the Einzbern family. You may call me Ahad."

"Nice to meet you, Chief Ahad."

Yoshikage Kira nodded slightly and extended his hand to the old man.

The old man was slightly taken aback, but still reached out and shook hands with him.

"Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Emiya. Are you familiar with the Holy Grail War?"

"Two hundred years ago, our Einzbern family, together with the Machiavelli family and the Tohsaka family, exchanged their secret techniques and successfully brought the Holy Grail, which can be called the 'Cave of All Power,' into existence."

"However, the Holy Grail can only grant one person's wish."

"The moment this fact was revealed, the cooperative relationship immediately turned into a bloody struggle, and this was the beginning of the Holy Grail War."

"Every 60 years thereafter, the Holy Grail will reappear in Fuyuki City, the Far East, where it was once summoned. Then the Holy Grail will select seven mages who are qualified to possess it, and will distribute a portion of its vast magical power to the seven of them, allowing them to summon Heroic Spirits known as 'Servants', and to decide who is truly qualified to lift the Holy Grail through a deadly battle."

"In the past three Holy Grail Wars, the Einzberns' magic was not suited for combat, and they failed to achieve any results in the Holy Grail Wars. Fortunately, the others also failed to truly obtain the Holy Grail."

"Nine years from now, the Holy Grail will descend upon Fuyuki City for the fourth time, and a new round of the Holy Grail War will begin!"

"That's why I hired you; I hope your skills can help the Einzbern family win the Holy Grail!"

The old man's tone was filled with fervor; for him, nothing was more important than the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish!

Since the time of Justeisa, Ahadeon has suffered the pain of defeat more than once.

The Fourth Holy Grail War is very likely the last, and his life force cannot support him living another 60 years. Ahadeon must consider whether this is his only chance in this life, so he absolutely cannot allow the Einzberns to fail again!

Therefore, he wouldn't hesitate to hire this infamous magician assassin. As long as he could achieve his long-cherished wish, as long as he could realize the Third Law, he would stop at nothing, and the entire Einzbern family would stop at nothing!

Yoshikage Kira was not swayed by the old man's fanaticism; his emotions remained calm and composed.

"I will do my best."

Ahadion's sharp gaze swept over Yoshikage Kira. He did his best, but it wasn't good enough!

What he wanted was not to do his best, nor to exert all his strength, but to win!

He certainly knew that Kiritsugu Emiya was untrustworthy.
