["I'm not saying to kill him. I'm just saying that before the battle ends, let him leave Fuyuki - no, leave Japan. I hope he can leave tomorrow morning."]

["Can you explain the reason?"]

["That agent has a lot of enmity with our Einzbern. If Tohsaka wants to include him in the camp, we will not be able to trust you at all."]

["In this way, we will treat you as the highest priority target of elimination, and join forces with Rider and others to launch an attack on you."]

[There was no hint of joking in Irisviel's tone.Finally, Tokiomi realized that there were still many things he didn't know, so he cast doubtful eyes on Kirei beside him. 】

["What's going on, Kirei?"]

[Kirei remained expressionless and silent as if he was wearing a mask.But since he didn't offer any refutation of Irisviel's words, his silence spoke volumes. 】

[Sighing, Tokiomi hid his emotions in his heart again and stared at the Einzbern camp with an indifferent expression. 】

["I can accept this request."]

【…】

[After the meeting ended, Irisviel left the church with Saber and Maiya. 】

["How about this gift from Kiritsugu?"]

[Riding on this black motorcycle, Saber's expression looked much more relaxed at this moment. 】

["Compared to cars, this horse-like vehicle seems to be more compatible with me."]

["Then I'll go ahead and make sure it's safe to go home."]

[After saying that, Saber started the motorcycle and rushed towards the way he came. 】

[Looking at Saber’s leaving figure, Maiya couldn’t help but sigh. 】

[Normally, Saber is just a slightly mature little girl. No one believes that she is the king who made great achievements in the war-torn years. 】

[However, after Saber left, Irisviel, who had just got into the car, seemed to have had her bones suddenly pulled away, so soft that she fell on Maiya's shoulder. 】

["Husband, madam...what's wrong?!"]

["Drive, Maiya..."]

【"But--"】

["Otherwise it will arouse Tohsaka's suspicion."]

[Listening to Irisviel’s words, Maiya immediately started the car and left the vicinity of the church. 】

[After a period of silence, Irisviel slowly spoke. 】

["This is not something wrong with me, but something that was destined from the beginning..."]

["On the contrary, it is a great blessing for me to be able to maintain my 'human' functions."]

["...Has Kiritsugu known about it for a long time?"]

[Without answering Maiya’s question, Irisviel changed the subject and talked about Saber. 】

["Don't tell Saber, she still has to face an important battle...Don't let her worry about other things."]

["But Maiya, there is something I want to make clear to you."]

["I am an android designed for the Holy Grail War...you know this, right?"]

["Guardian of the instruments - managing and transporting the 'vessels' prepared for the coming of the Holy Grail. This is my mission. In fact, this statement is not correct."]

[“In the last Holy Grail War, Grandpa Ahad not only lost his servants, but also broke the precious Holy Grail vessel due to the war. 】

["In the third war, because the 'vessel' was destroyed before the winner was decided, the war was ineffective. At that time, grandpa began to reflect and decided to package this 'vessel' as a self- A humanoid gesture that manages consciousness.”]

[The calm tone seems to be leisurely describing things that have nothing to do with him.Because she saw everything, she decided to tell everything about her body. 】

["That's it - me, the 'Qi' itself was given a survival instinct. In order to be able to avoid various dangers on its own, grandpa turned the 'Qi' into 'Irisviel'."]

["How could it be...then, you..."]

[Listening to Irisviel's words, even Maiya couldn't help but be moved. After all, she is not hard-hearted. When she heard these words, she already had a guess in her heart. 】

["From now on, I will gradually return to my original 'thing', and I will definitely gradually become unable to move until finally - Maiya, can I even talk to you like this?"]

["That's why Kiritsugu gave me Saber's scabbard..."Far Utopia"...Do you know its effect?"]

[“The ability to stop aging and infinite healing—that’s what I heard.”]

["It was the one that stopped my "shell" from peeling off. I thought I would die soon, but thanks to it I have been able to maintain my human appearance and behavior until now..."]

["But if we distance ourselves from Saber like now, the situation will suddenly worsen..."]

[At this moment, Irisviel could no longer stand up. Facing Irisviel who seemed to be in a dying state, Maiya not only lowered her eyes. 】

["Why are you telling me this?"]

["Kuu Maiya - only you will not pity me, you will definitely agree with me... I think so."]

["Madam, I...I thought you were an unapproachable person."]

["No such thing - can you understand me?"]

【"Yes."】

[Irisviel’s feeling is correct. It is precisely because Kuu Maiya was a woman who was born as a human but survived as a prop that she can be responsible for a woman who was created as a prop but met her end as a human. It means "identification". 】

["Even if I risk my life - Irisviel, I will protect you until the end."]

["So, please don't die for Emiya Kiritsugu. In order to realize that person's ideals."]

【"Thanks……"】

88. Kirei who formed an alliance with Emiya

"I really can't understand it!"

After taking another swig of wine, Matou Kariya couldn't help but roar again, regardless of the fact that the live broadcast was still going on.

"No, Emiya Kiritsugu has been beaten and disabled. Why are there still people willing to believe in this guy unconditionally?"

Looking at Emiya Kiritsugu, who even though he did not appear on the screen, still had a strong presence on the screen, the grief and anger in Matou Kariya's heart at this moment almost overflowed.

Why is that guy Emiya Kiritsugu so popular? Even though he is disabled and does not appear in the picture, he is still so conspicuous.

Looking back at myself, counting from beginning to end, it only appeared three times in total.

Once I met the old bug, once I checked with Gilgamesh, and then it seemed like he disappeared and couldn't be found.

Then after a long wait, he finally appeared in the Pafanti crusade. In the end, only the servant Berserker appeared for a while. Before he even had time to show up, he was directly killed because of the backlash caused by Berserker's instant kill. Gan fell into a coma.

Then, it was as if I had been forgotten, without any footage.

Everyone is now saying that Assassin is the target of persecution and is being compared as a combat unit all day long, but Matou Kariya feels that he is the one being crazily persecuted!

For the roaring Matou Kariya, many water friends at this moment also came to laugh in time.

"Hohoho, isn't it normal to have no sense of existence? After all, compared to what Emiya Kiritsugu did, you are nothing in the Holy Grail War."

"Poor up, you are so angry that you are crying and fussing because you don't exist in this Holy Grail War, so pitiful, woo woo woo..."

Looking at the live broadcast room filled with laughter and laughter, Matou Kariya was also a little angry at this moment.

"Who is crying and making trouble! I am just venting my emotions, whimpering about the injustice of this world, and expressing my dissatisfaction with unfair treatment!"

the other side.

Looking at the frail Irisviel leaning on Kuu Maiya in the picture, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but fall silent at this moment.

The reason why he finally sent Irisviel to die was finally revealed at this moment, and what Otto said before about his contempt for himself was completely established at this moment.

This result was completely beyond Emiya Kiritsugu's expectation.

Originally, he thought that the wish he wanted to realize through the Holy Grail in the picture was because he needed Irisviel to act as Saber's master on the surface, so as to attract firepower and give him space to output.

In this way, there is no doubt that Irisviel, who is the master on the surface, will naturally be in danger.

But as long as he can rescue and defeat the enemy in time, Irisviel will not be threatened.

But Irisviel's body getting weaker day by day shattered his original naive thoughts.

Only now, with the truth revealed from Irisviel’s mouth, has the Holy Grail finally been unveiled.

The Small Holy Grail that Kotomine Kirei mentioned before, and the sacrifice that Otto mentioned were all made clear at this moment - Irisviel will be used as the Holy Grail to contain the souls and magic power of defeated heroic spirits.

Eventually, Irisviel will lose her identity as a human and become a mere tool.

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but feel deep self-blame in his heart.

"Is it really that difficult to change the world? Do you have to sacrifice Irisviel to make the world what you want?"

"No wonder that guy Otto despises me in the picture. It turns out that the truth of all this is so disgusting."

Looking at Irisviel who was holding up her body, Emiya Kiritsugu could not help but clenched his fists at this moment.

"I definitely don't agree with this ending!"

…………

[On the screen at this moment. 】

[After watching Irisviel and the others leave, Tokiomi Tosaka spoke again. 】

["I think you should tell me about your dispute with the Einzberns in advance."]

["It's a pity, but there is no other way now."]

["Quit from this war, Kirei."]

[Looking at the solemn expression on Tosaka Tokiomi's face, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but fall into deep silence at this moment. 】

【…】

[After arranging the church staff who were dealing with Parfanti’s follow-up matters outside, Kirei returned to his room alone. 】

[Although the impact caused by Parfanti was huge, under the arrangements of Kotomine Rimasa, the aftermath was eventually dealt with in an orderly manner. 】

[Obviously, Kotomine Rimasa's response to various situations is extremely correct, and under normal circumstances, he only needs to keep moving forward according to the path that Kotomine Rimasa has laid before. 】

【only……】

[Is this really the end? 】

[Looking at the darkness in front of him, Kotomine Kirei asked himself at this moment. 】

[——What is my wish? 】

[Looking at the various information about Emiya Kiritsugu scattered on the table, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but fall into deep thinking. 】

[If this man encountered this situation, what would he do? 】

[There is no doubt that it would be difficult for him to let Kotomine Kirei leave here without any explanation. 】

[After all, he has not followed the steps of Emiya Kiritsugu, nor has he seen the end of this man. 】

[According to reports from church staff, it can be determined that Otto has withdrawn from the Holy Grail War, but as a price, Emiya Kiritsugu was definitely seriously injured. 】

[However, what is certain is that even now that he is seriously injured, he is still fighting somewhere. Unlike Kirei who can only sit there in confusion, he is actually moving towards the Holy Grail. 】

[What will that man pray for when he gets the all-powerful wish machine? 】

["Emiya Kiritsugu, who are you?"]

[In the deep silence, Kirei felt a turbulent aura approaching him from the corridor outside the door. This aura was already quite familiar to Kirei. 】

[Gilgamesh walked directly into Kirei's room without knocking. Seeing that Kirei was deep in thought, he sneered with a tone of ridicule and pity. 】

["Even now, you are still struggling."]

["There must be a limit to slowness, Kirei?"]

["Now the Holy Grail is still calling you, and you yourself are eager to fight."]

[In response to Otto Gilgamesh's question, Kirei remained silent at this moment and did not refute. 】

[Anyway, there is nothing to hide in front of Gilgamesh. This heroic spirit has even seen through that he is deceiving himself. 】

[Then, I’m afraid the answer Kirei has been looking for should already be in his heart. 】

["...Ever since I was sensible, I have been exploring a question."]
