[For Kiritsugu, meeting his wife at this time is a test and a punishment. 】

[Watching the woman I loved in the past become the sacrifice of the Holy Grail that I pursue, gradually weakening and dying——faced with such a situation, if I still remain unmoved...]

[At that time, Emiya Kiritsugu will have nothing to fear. After that, he can eliminate all entanglements and emotions and grasp the Holy Grail with his own hands like a sophisticated machine. 】

[Speaking of which, this is the last strength test for myself as a combat machine. 】

[If his will cannot bear it and collapses...it means that the man Emiya Kiritsugu and the ideals he embraces are no more than that. 】

......

"Treat your wife as a test of strength?!!! Under the premise that you know your wife will die, you still insist on coming to participate in this so-called Holy Grail War, and then let your wife become nourishment."

"What a...complete, incompetent and selfish scumbag!!!"

In the manor, Otto, who was enjoying the trip to the Far East with Kallen, looked at the picture and hit the mark.

In his opinion, nothing is as important as his lover! ! !

Everything else you possess can be obtained by your own ability.

Only an incompetent person like Kiritsugu would sacrifice his wife.

"It's really shameless to give this selfish behavior the cloak of ideals and justice.

......

Xiuzhi Yinggao.

Secretary Chika Fujiwara looked at Emiya Kiritsugu in the screen.

Fortunately, I had not impulsively rescued him from the cell earlier.

This kind of person should go to jail! ! !

What about experiencing misery?Wasn't that tragic experience caused by his stupidity? ! ! !

"Scum!!!"

......

[The screen continues. 】

[Kiritsugu walked through the deserted garden, came to the warehouse door, and locked the door with a predetermined code.Maiya quickly pushed open the iron door of Hou'er from inside and stuck her head out. 】

[Before the two of them spoke, Kiritsugu had already noticed the change in Maiya. 】

[Usually she only cares about various necessary factors related to the task, and her eyes are always cold and empty.But today there was a hint of nervousness and urgency in her eyes, as if seeing Kiritsugu here made her feel panicked. 】

["...Do you want to see Madam?"]

["Her current situation..."]

["I know, I have already realized something."]

[Kiritsugu knew what he would see in this warehouse, but he still came - Maiya understood this and said nothing more, making way for Kiritsugu to enter, pass him by, and walk out Outside the warehouse. 】

[In a corner of the dark warehouse, the beautiful Sleeping Beauty is lying in the magic circle where the magic power is quietly stirring.Her appearance gave Kiritsugu a feeling of déjà vu. 】

[This was also the case when the two met for the first time.Elder Ahat took Kiritsugu to the deepest part of Einzborn's workshop and let Kiritsugu see her sleeping in the sheep trough. 】

[Kiritsugu still remembers that he felt it was incredible at that time - because of the shell of the Holy Grail, why should a device with a lifespan of only nine years be given such a stunningly beautiful appearance. 】

[Is this thing the Holy Grail?When Kiritsugu asked the old magician beside him, she opened her eyes while she was sleeping.Seeing those eyes through the gently swaying amniotic fluid, Kiritsugu was deeply attracted by those extremely deep red eyes.That moment is still imprinted in his heart, as vivid as yesterday. 】

【Just like that time...】

[Under Kiritsugu’s gaze, Irisviel opened her eyes and smiled softly. 】

["Ah——it's Kiritsugu..."]

[The hand she stretched out wavered as if trying to catch the clouds in the sky, and lightly touched Kiritsugu's cheek with her fingertips. 】

[The slight trembling of the cold fingers clearly told Kiritsugu that even this simple movement was extremely difficult for her. 】

["——This is not a dream. Are you really...really coming to see me..."]

["Yes, I'm here."]

[Speaking is easier than imagined.This was also the case when Kiritsugu shot down Natalya before, neither his fingertips nor his speech were affected in any way.No matter how painful his heart is and how broken his emotions are, his hands will completely complete the mission entrusted to him. 】

["I feel...very happy..."]

[Alice gently stroked the bloodless and tearless man’s cheek and spoke to him softly. 】

["Falling in love...Being loved by you...After nine years with my husband and daughter...You gave me everything...You gave me everything I could never dream of...all the happiness in this world..."]

["...Sorry, there are many promises that I cannot fulfill."]

[In the Winter City, Kiritsugu once told Irisviel what was in the outside world.He told her of the brilliant colors of the flowers and the sparkling blue sea. 】

[Kiritsugu once vowed to take Irisviel outside the city to let her see all of this. 】

[Looking back now, that was really an irresponsible agreement. 】

["It doesn't matter, none of this matters anymore."]

[Irisviel did not blame Kiritsugu for not being able to fulfill the agreement, and smiled. 】

["If there is any happiness that I have not been able to get...give all that to Illya, give it to your daughter - our most precious Illya."]

[Although destruction is right in front of us, Irisviel can still smile peacefully.At this moment, Kiritsugu finally understood where her strength came from. 】

["Please bring Illya to this country in the future."]

[When a mother places all her hopes on her children, she will have nothing to fear. 】

[Because of this reason, she can smile and embark on her own destiny step by step without fear. 】

["Let the child see everything...things I never had the chance to see. The flowers of the cherry trees, the white clouds in summer..."]

【"I see."】

[For the machine pursuing the Holy Grail, these agreements are unnecessary actions and have no meaning at all. 】

[That’s why he nodded in response as an ordinary person. 】

[Get the Holy Grail with your own hands and fulfill your great wish to save the world.After that...the machines that have completed their mission will return to being human beings again. 】

[At that time, he could finally cry because he missed his wife.This time he could finally love his daughter wholeheartedly as a father. 】

[This is all in the near future, just after the ending that will come in a few days. 】

[Just not yet.that is it. 】

......

"What you say is even better than what you sing!!!"

"This kind of scumbag actually has two women who like him and are willing to give everything for him!!!"

"He, Emiya Kiritsugu, why?!!!"

"Why?!!!"

Matou Kariya looked at the picture. At this moment, his heart was full of dissatisfaction and jealousy.

I work diligently to make money every day, and I don’t have any special bad habits.

This kind of me, the person I like was snatched away, and then I have been alone until now! ! !

Thinking of this, Matou Kariya poured himself a sip of wine.

......

【"I have to give this... back to you..."]

[Irisviel placed her trembling hand on her chest, gathered all her strength on her fingertips, and unleashed all the magic in her body. 】

[Her empty palm suddenly bloomed with golden light, illuminating the dim warehouse warmly. 】

[As Kiritsugu watched with bated breath, the light gradually changed its shape and formed an outline.Finally it took on a shiny metallic texture and was held in her hand. 】

[That is the golden scabbard. 】

【"Ellie..."】

["From now on...the person who needs this thing...is you. When you face the final battle...it will definitely come in handy..."]

[Irisviel’s voice sounded even weaker than before. 】

【Of course. "The otherworldly Utopia (Avalon)" is the last talisman that prevents Irisviel from further collapse at the critical moment.This miraculous treasure was originally sealed in her body in the form of a conceptual weapon, but was now separated by her own hands. 】

["I...it doesn't matter. Miss Maiya...protects me..."]

【"……All right."】

[Just think about it calmly. 】

["The otherworldly Utopia" was originally a Noble Phantasm belonging to Saber, and it requires the supply of magic power from the servant to be effective.It would be impossible for Irisviel to fight on the front line with Saber again, and even if she were to wear it, it would have no strategic value. 】

[Even if it can slow down her collapse to some extent, it will only be a drop in the bucket. 】

[Now Kiritsugu can make this judgment correctly and calmly. 】

[Kiritsugu takes the golden scabbard handed over by Irisviel.He gently placed his wife's extremely weak body on the cold floor and stood up. 】

【"I'm leaving."】

["Well - be careful on the road, husband."]

[The words of farewell were short and simple. 】

[Emiya Kiritsugu left the dormitory where his wife rested with cold eyes. 】

[Maiya was waiting boredly outside. When she saw Kiritsugu walking out of the warehouse, she quietly held her breath. 】

[Part of the reason was because she noticed what the radiant Noble Phantasm was in Kiritsugu's hand, and immediately understood why this Noble Phantasm was in Kiritsugu's hands now.But what really surprised her was the change in Kiritsugu's own expression. 】

["I will deal with Rider's summoner within today. Saber has already set off first."]

["...Yes, shortly before you came over this morning."]

["Very good - Maiya, please continue to protect Ellie's safety."]

["I understand...uh, Kiritsugu?"]

[Maiya’s hesitant voice stopped the teacher who was about to walk out of the door with firm steps. 】

【"What's up?"】

[Kiritsugu did not turn around, only turned around and asked.Maiya looked into his eyes for a while, then sighed lightly and lowered her head. 】

["The past you...are finally back."]

【"……Yeah?"】

[Kiritsugu responded in a low voice, without any reaction, just turned his head and walked out of the door. 】

......

At this moment, looking at the picture, Emiya Kiritsugu really turned around and walked away.

Emiya Shirou's face was full of disbelief.

"Just leave like that?!!!"

"That's your wife!!!"

"She took out the items that could save her life from her body and gave them to you, and you just left like that?!!!"

Emiya Shirou could not imagine that this would be something his father would do.

The person who had always taught himself to be a righteous partner could actually do such a thing! ! !

Emiya Shirou began to doubt whether what he had learned from this man in the past ten years or so was normal.

Emiya Shirou fell into deep self-doubt.

......

【Screen turn around】

[In the picture, Weber wakes up from his sleep. 】

[This day was as peaceful as if I was dreaming.After a day passed, Weber was finally convinced of the meaning behind this situation. 】

[He got up early in the morning, told the old couple that they would be home late tonight, and headed straight to Xindu without even eating breakfast.
