Type-Moon, I, Matou Sakura, rewrite my destiny

20. Airi and Sakura, the delicate relationship between Master and Servant

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the mountain villa, the late night moonlight was softly shining on Sakura's bed.

Cute cat-shaped pillows, quilts and sheets printed with all kinds of cute cartoon characters... and the mature silver-haired big sister who was incompatible with these things, appeared clearly in front of Sakura under the moonlight.

Irisviel von Einzbern...

Not long ago, the wife who was abducted by the Clock Tower Monarch duo was now lying on Sakura's 'Cartoon Castle' with her eyes closed like a sleeping beauty...

Irisviel, the android who embodies the technological crystallization of the Einzbern family, is indeed quite suitable to be Orochimaru's body.

With countless artificial magic circuits and a good transformation limit, it can be said that among all known humans, Irisviel is almost the most suitable vessel for Orochimaru.

What's more, Irisviel is offering a buy two get one free deal. Not only is she suitable to be Orochimaru's vessel, but she and the Lesser Holy Grail in her body can also help Sakura further analyze and control the Greater Holy Grail... She also gets an extra top-level treasure, Avalon.

But... no matter how good she is, Irisviel is still a pit, a hot potato.

There is no need to say much about the Einzbern family. After all, they are just a group of artificial humans who want to realize the Third Law.

As for the rest, Emiya Kiritsugu is definitely a huge trouble, and Sakura is sure that it won't be long before Emiya Kiritsugu knows that his nine-year-old wife is in her hands.

However, even though she knew it was a trap and a hot potato, Sakura finally gritted her teeth and decided to accept it.

There's no way, Irisviel smells too good.

After confirming that Irisviel would remain unconscious for at least ten more hours.

Although Sakura became much more awake due to the momentary excitement, the young Sakura still couldn't resist the sleepiness in the end, facing Irisviel lying on her bed like a sleeping beauty.

After Sakura covered herself and her with the quilt, she leaned carelessly in Irisviel's fragrant arms and fell asleep...

Just as Sakura was sleeping soundly with her head resting on Emiya Kiritsugu's nine-year-old wife.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who lost his wife on the first night of the Holy Grail War, could not sleep peacefully.

Einzbern moved to the gate of Fuyuki City's castle.

Cigarette butts on the ground, a lonely man, and a silent follower...

This is the view of Einzbern Castle tonight.

Feeling guilty, King Arthur looked at the back of his master on the stairs. Having made such a serious mistake in his first attack, he was also extremely melancholy.

If Emiya Kiritsugu did something at this moment, even if it was punishment, King Arthur would feel better.

But Emiya Kiritsugu did nothing...which made King Arthur feel even more guilty.

The silence lasted until late at night.

Finally, unable to overcome the inner torment, King Arthur, a legendary king, slowly came to Kiritsugu Emiya and slowly sat on the steps beside him.

"Master...please order me to be punished..."

Seeing King Arthur's statement, another servant who had remained silent and felt guilty, the King of Sparta, Leonidas, also walked up to Kiritsugu Emiya and lowered his head.

"Master, please punish me too..."

Throwing down the cigarette in his hand, he looked at his two servants expressionlessly without saying a word.

Indeed, the abduction of Irisviel caused Emiya Kiritsugu's sensitive heart to produce negative emotions such as self-blame, anxiety, anger, etc.

However, Emiya Kiritsugu did not lose his composure, nor did he sink into despair.

Although the loss of his wife did have some impact on Emiya Kiritsugu, he even had the urge to save Irisviel at all costs for a moment.

But Emiya Kiritsugu is Emiya Kiritsugu after all, a righteous partner who can weigh his own life on the scales.

After calming down, nature made a new assessment.

Wife and the Holy Grail.....Family Love and Absolute Justice....

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had already made his own assessment in his mind, was now thinking more about the analysis of the upcoming war and the countermeasures for various situations.

Seeing Emiya Kiritsugu replying beautifully after a long time.

King Arthur, with a look of self-blame on his face, pursed his lips and spoke again.

"Master...please at least allow us to take action and make up for the mistakes we have made..."

Looking at the two necessary tools in front of him, Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head and took out a cigarette from his pocket again.

"No need. Rescuing Ellie... is not the top priority. The most troublesome problem now is the alliance between the two Clock Tower Lords..."

Hearing Emiya Kiritsugu's almost heartless and cruel words, Leonidas' eyes widened immediately, and those iron fists that had knocked down countless enemies clenched tightly in an instant.

King Arthur, who was standing by, also showed an angry expression after hearing Kiritsugu Emiya's answer...

But as the most perfect king...King Arthur, who placed rationality over emotion, finally loosened his clenched fists and nodded to Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Sound judgment....but..."

As Arthur calmly said the word "but", suddenly a huge force pulled Kiritsugu Emiya and pulled him up from the ground.

King Arthur raised Emiya Kiritsugu high above his head with both hands, his eyes burning with rage. At this moment, his petite body looked so majestic, like an angry lion.

"But... Emiya Kiritsugu, you are not a king. This rationality and pride do not belong to you, a member of the people!"

He gently patted King Arthur's arm, signaling King Arthur to put him down, and looked calmly at the angry king in front of him.

"My King... I really can't get along with a Servant like you..."

"Me too, Master. I also don't like people like you..."

Just when the "pathetic little girl who shouldn't be the king and has to bear all this" and the "self-righteous bastard who paralyzes himself in the name of justice" are about to fall out. (This is what Emiya Kiritsugu and Altria think of each other.)

The phone in Emiya Kiritsugu's pocket rang at this moment.

“It’s me, Maiya. What’s the situation?”

".....Yes, I understand. I'll come over now."

After hanging up the phone, he turned around to look at his two servants, straightened the collar of his windbreaker, and spoke calmly.

"We found the Master who kidnapped Ai Li..."

Although they don't like each other, the relationship between these three is actually somewhat subtle.

But... they all joined this Holy Grail War with different purposes, and now they all know that they cannot live without each other.

A car drove out of the castle... and the fully armed servants followed closely...

21. Kiritsugu Emiya's terrorist attack...

Late at night in Fuyuki City, most areas in the city have fallen into silence.

But... on the most prosperous central street in Fuyuki City, even though the time is almost three in the morning, there are still many urban men and women enjoying the nightlife here.

He looked up and saw the Kami-Matou Hotel in the middle of the street. Listening to the information coming from the hidden headset in his ear, Kiritsugu Emiya frowned quietly.

"The five-year-old head of the Matou family...visited the two monarchs before the war..."

Listening intently to the information that Hisau Maiya was constantly reporting through the headset.

Even Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but have troublesome thoughts in his heart.

However, Emiya Kiritsugu is not someone who would stop moving forward just because of a little trouble.

After completing his layout in an inconspicuous manner on this street.

Looking up at Emiya Kiritsugu at the Matou Hotel once again, he gave the order to his two servants to attack through the contract without hesitation.

As the order was given, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was carrying a briefcase full of various weapons, looked at the Matou Hotel in front of him and randomly pressed the detonator in his hand.

The electric current activates the detonator, and the gunpowder generates high temperatures.

In an instant, the special incendiary bombs that Emiya Kiritsugu had just placed began to release scorching flames.

Under the high temperature of nearly a thousand degrees, balls of flame began to spew out from all over the street, causing men and women who were enjoying the nightlife to scream shrilly.

The crowd fled in all directions and the hotel began an emergency evacuation.

Going upstream against the crowd, Kiritsugu Emiya quickly took advantage of the commotion caused by the fire and entered the Matou Hotel without being noticed by anyone.

Just as the entire street was set on fire by Emiya Kiritsugu and the crowd began to evacuate and flee.

Marisbury and Kenneth, who were in the penthouse suite of the Matou Hotel, naturally knew what was happening on this street.

Put on your coat and bring your attire.

Just as King Arthur and Leonidas broke straight into the magic workshop on the top floor of the hotel.

The two monarchs from the Clock Tower are fully prepared for the battle.

"Mr. Animusphia...it looks like there are some restless rats who are planning to challenge us."

"Don't be careless, Kayneth. Now at least two servants have broken into our workshop..."

"Two...Servants of Emiya Kiritsugu, the magician killer... Indeed, this is the style of a shady rat like him... Mordred!"

"Got it, my father, I'll take care of it!"

With a perverse smile on his face, Mordred, who was already fully armed and carrying a big sword, rushed out of the door of the suite in an instant...

After a while, the loud sound of fierce sword fighting could be heard back into the suite.

As Mordred and King Arthur began to fight, Solomon, who was standing behind Marisbury, also began to act.

After nodding gently to Marisbury and Kenneth, Solomon then entered the spirit state and disappeared in front of the two clock tower monarchs.

"Master and Sir Kenneth, please be careful of the origin bullet..."

Facing the reminder left by Solomon before going to the battlefield, Kenneth, who had already known part of the future from Solomon on the night Solomon was summoned, heard the words "origin bomb".

His expression suddenly became somewhat ferocious.

"Origin bomb...Mr. Animusphia..."

"Go ahead. According to our covenant, this honor should belong to you, Kenneth..."

"grateful....."

Gracefully, he bowed slightly towards Marisbury.

Then Kenneth, whose expression became more and more ferocious, touched his chest unconsciously, then he took off his formal clothes and walked out.

The battle on the rooftop of the Matou Hotel was extremely fierce at this moment, especially between the mother and daughter, Mordred and Altria. Their fight could only be described as a life-and-death battle.

The two sides continued to wave their weapons to attack each other, and within a few minutes, the blood of the other side appeared on their weapons.

However, in the battle between the two, it seems that Artoria has the advantage at the moment.

The battle on the other side was exactly the opposite.

Leonidas is indeed a top legendary warrior, but his opponent is Solomon...so even though Leonidas has the advantage in job classification and attributes.

But Solomon still easily suppressed Leonidas and put him in a difficult situation.

Artoria, who was fighting Mordred in the room next to them, was more or less aware of the predicament Leonidas was in.

Altria couldn't help but feel surprised by this situation.

Leonidas, who was a spearman, was no weakling. Without using his treasure, Artoria did not dare to say that she would be able to win against Leonidas, the Spartan king who guarded Thermopylae and blocked the Persian army.

But now, such a warrior was suppressed by the mysterious enemy in her perception...

'We must act quickly!'

Looking at the rebellious "daughter" in front of him, who was laughing and fighting against him like a madman, and was covered with scars.

Although I really don't want to hurt her, and I don't want to kill her again...

But the king's rationality still made Altria intend to release the treasure to directly kill Mordred...

However, while Altria was fighting Mordred, she was preparing to secretly gather her magic power and release a Noble Phantasm at zero distance to repel Mordred...

Suddenly, Emiya Kiritsugu's voice rang in her ears.

"Stop... King Arthur... I don't have enough magic power to provide you with the release of the treasure..."

Just as the servants were fiercely intertwined.
