[If some lives are saved because of sacrifice, then those lives that are saved should be the most precious. 】
[The stupid and incompetent idea is as if he has never been to elementary school. It is indeed his idea. He has always adhered to the idea until now. For this reason, he hurts others, violates the law, and kills at all costs. 】
["──Yes, Kiritsugu. You are right."]
[Suddenly looking back, his wife was beside him, clinging to him with a gentle and loving smile, standing on the mountain of corpses with Kiritsugu. 】
["I knew you would come, I believe you can get here."]
【"Ellie──"】
[This face made Kiritsugu both nostalgic and fond of him, but he felt a little strange. 】
[Is it because of the black clothes she has never seen before?This was also a reason, but Kiritsugu always felt as if he had overlooked more important things. 】
[By the way, where did Saber go?What happened to the remaining three groups of enemies?Is Kotomine Kirei alive or dead?He had so many questions, where should he start? 】
[Kiritsugu had no choice but to ask the first question that came to his mind. 】
【"Where──is this place?"]
["This is the place where your wish comes true. The... interior of the Holy Grail you have been seeking."]
[Irisviel replied with a happy smile.Kiritsugu was speechless and looked around. 】
[The black mud is like a pulsating ocean. 】
[Hills made of rotten corpses are everywhere, slowly sinking into the sea of black mud. 】
[The sky is red, as red as blood.In the black mud rain, the dark sun supported the sky. 】
[The wind blowing in the air is the sound of curses and groans. 】
[If you want to use words to describe it, isn’t this place──hell? 】
["You say this...is the Holy Grail?"]
["Yes. But you don't have to be afraid, because this is like an illusory dream that has no entity yet, still waiting for the moment of birth."]
[Irisviel pointed to the sky and gestured to Kiritsugu. 】
[The dark thing that Kiritsugu mistakenly thought was the sun at the center of the world rotating in the sky was actually a "hole" in the sky]
[The cave is filled with endless deep darkness, and the huge mass seems to crush everything. 】
["That's the Holy Grail. Although it hasn't been formed yet, the entire container is full. All you have to do next is say your wish."
[No matter what kind of wish it receives, it will choose the appropriate form that can fulfill the wish.Only after obtaining the real world entity in this way can it go "outside". ”]
【“…”】
["Come, please give it a "form" quickly. You are the most qualified person to give it an idea, Kiritsugu. Tell the Holy Grail your wish."]
[Kiritsugu said nothing, looking at the terrifying "hole". 】
[As long as an ordinary human with a normal mind would never tolerate the things inside, why can Irisviel still put on a nonchalant smile? 】
[Yes, what Kiritsugu found strange the most was this smiling face. 】
【That's because──】
【 "……Who are you?"】
[Kiritsugu suppressed his fear with anger and asked the wife in front of him. 】
["If the Holy Grail has been prepared, Irisviel should no longer exist. So who are you?"]
["I am Irisviel, you can think of me as Irisviel."]
[Kiritsugu pointed the magic gun in his right hand, the gun he had held in his hand when fighting Kirei, at the opponent. 】
["Stop fussing with me and answer quickly!"]
[Facing the muzzle full of murderous intent, the woman in black smiled lonelyly, as if she felt sorry for Kiritsugu because he asked about this matter. 】
["...You're right. I don't deny that this is a mask. If I don't put on an existing personality as a "shell", I won't be able to communicate with others. 】
[In order to convey my hope to you, I can only pretend to be like this. 】
[But the Irisviel personality I recorded is indeed the real her. 】
[The last person she came into contact with before she was eliminated was me.Therefore, I inherited Irisviel's last wish, because my vocation is to realize the wish of "I hope so". ”]
[Kiritsugu understood this confession not theoretically, but intuitively. 】
[This being appears "inside the Holy Grail" and claims to be "no one"──]
["──Are you the...will of the Holy Grail?"]
["Yes, your explanation is not wrong."]
[The thing that looks exactly like Irisviel nodded with satisfaction.But on the other hand, Kiritsugu's brows were furrowed with even more uneasy confusion. 】
["How is this possible? The Holy Grail should be just a pure colorless "power". How can it have a will?"]
["That may have been true before, but it is different now. I have a will and a desire. My will is "I hope to be born in this world."]
【 "How can it be……"】
[It’s so strange, there must be something wrong. 】
[If what she said is true.Then this is not the "wishing machine" that Kiritsugu has always longed for and can do whatever he wants. 】
......
"Hahahaha, you must be dumbfounded!"
"A group of people worked extremely hard for the so-called universal wish, and finally found out that they were clowns!"
"So what if you live longer than me?"
"So what if you survive to the end?"
"You still can't realize your wish in the end?"
"Still, you call this the Holy Grail?"
Matou Kariya looked at this scene on the screen.
A crazy smile appeared on his face.
When he saw his own death in the picture, he was disheartened.
But at this moment, when he saw the so-called Holy Grail, it was just this kind of thing.
He was really happy inside.
This is a kind of morbid situation where no one can get what they can’t get, happiness!
......
At this moment, Kiana, who was holding potato chips, looked at the screen.
There was also a chill in my heart.
She couldn't believe it.
What those participants have praised from the beginning until now, and what they want to get even if they have to pay their lives, is actually this kind of thing.
"Is this the Holy Grail?"
"How could this be the Holy Grail?"
"Is this what I want?"
......
【Screen continues】
["──If you have a will, then let me ask you, how does the Holy Grail intend to fulfill my wish?"]
[Irisviel tilted her head, showing an inexplicable expression on her face, as if she heard a very incredible question. 】
[“Kiritsugu, you should know this matter better than anyone else, right?”]
【"……What did you say?"】
[“Your existence itself is very similar to the Holy Grail, so you can still remain rational even if you are connected to me. 】
[If it were an ordinary person, he would have already suffered a nervous breakdown by the time he was exposed to the black mud. ”]
[Irisviel looked bright and brisk, and said with a blessing tone. 】
[Looking at her smile, Kiritsugu felt extremely uneasy for some reason. 】
["You should already know how to save the world. So I will follow your previous practices, accept your ideas, and realize your wishes."]
【"What are you talking about?"】
[“Your existence itself is very similar to the Holy Grail, so you can still remain rational even if you are connected to me. 】
[If it were an ordinary person, he would have already suffered a nervous breakdown by the time he was exposed to the black mud. ”]
[Irisviel looked bright and brisk, and said with a blessing tone. 】
[Looking at her smile, Kiritsugu felt extremely uneasy for some reason. 】
["You should already know how to save the world. So I will follow your previous practices, accept your ideas, and realize your wishes."]
【"What are you talking about?"】
【Kiritsugu cannot understand.He didn't want to know what it meant. 】
["Answer me, what does the Holy Grail plan to do? If that thing comes to this world, what will happen!?"]
[The conversation between the two could not match each other and kept spinning in circles.Irisviel sighed helplessly, nodded and said. 】
["──There is no other way. In this case, I can only ask you to ask your own heart."]
[A thin white palm covers Kiritsugu’s eyes──]
[The world turns dark. 】
[There are two ships on the sea. 】
[There were 300 people on one boat and 200 on the other.There were five hundred passengers in total, including Emiya Kiritsugu. It was assumed that these five hundred and one people were the last survivors of mankind. 】
[Then please assume the role of Emiya Kiritsugu and answer the following questions. 】
["There was a large hole in the bottom of the two ships that could not be repaired at the same time. Only Emiya Kiritsugu knew the technology to repair the ships, but when you repair one ship, the other ship will sink. Which one will you repair? Where’s a ship?”]
["...Of course it is a ship carrying 300 people."]
["As soon as you decide to do this, 200 people from the other ship will grab you and demand: 'Repair our ship first'. What should I do?"]
【"this……"】
[Before Kiritsugu could say the answer, a submachine gun appeared in his hand. 】
[Kiritsugu stared blankly at the gun, which suddenly spurted flames from the muzzle like an automatic machine. 】
[Every bullet fired from the gun killed four people, and in the blink of an eye, all 200 people were killed. 】
["──Correct answer. This is Emiya Kiritsugu."]
[Kiritsugu stared blankly at the ship full of dead bodies sinking into the sea.It seemed to him that all the bodies lying on the deck were familiar faces. 】
["Next, the 300 people who survived abandoned the damaged boats and boarded two new boats to continue sailing. This time, there were 200 people in one boat and 100 people in the other boat. But the bottoms of the two boats were broken at the same time. A big hole.”]
【"Hello……"】
["100 people in a small boat kidnapped you and forced you to repair their boat first. What should I do?"]
["Such a thing...but..."]
[The sword flashed, the bomb exploded, and a hundred people became algae crumbs on the seabed.This is what Emiya Kiritsugu did.Just like what he had done over and over again, he started killing. 】
【"──Correct answer."]
......
Emiya Shirou looked at this scene on the screen.
Feeling the justice that his father said.
Feeling his father's ideals.
Emiya Shirou felt as if his world had collapsed.
