Alice read out the title of the book curiously. The cover of the book was black, and below it was a silhouette of a castle in the sunset.
The girl placed the book on the table and was about to pull out a chair to sit down, but for some reason she suddenly lost her balance and fell into Kira Yoshikage's arms.
"Ah, sorry."
Irisviel apologized quietly, holding onto Kira Yoshikage's chest and trying to stand up again.
"Don't move, just sit here."
Kira Yoshikage caressed his wife's silver hair and spoke in a somewhat tough tone.
"Hmm~"
Irisviel blinked but did not resist. She just obediently adjusted her sitting position and found a comfortable position on Kira Yoshikage's legs.
Kirara Yoshikage held the girl's hand and kissed it gently:
"If you hate it, you can reject me."
“Well, I don’t hate it.”
The wife smiled faintly, and her well-behaved look was very cute.
Even though it has been colored by Kira Yoshikage.
But she is still just as clean.
It’s so clean that it makes people want to have sex.
"Then you hate me?"
"Why do I hate you?"
Irisviel tilted her head, looking a little confused.
Kira Yoshikage hated it when people answered questions with questions.
But even he couldn't get angry when facing the girl in his arms who was so clean that there was not a trace of dust on her.
Because he understood that the girl was not making excuses or being perfunctory, she simply could not understand and could not give an answer.
"I killed Ahadion and took you by force. Isn't that worthy of your hatred?"
"Hmm~Does Kira-kun want me to hate you?"
Irisviel thought for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"I certainly don't want Ellie to hate me."
"Then I don't hate Kira-kun."
Kira Yoshikage stared into the girl's eyes, his ruby-like eyes were clear and bright. Her answer was still obedient, but that was not a hostage's hypocrisy to the terrorists. She believed it from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes told him so.
"Let me put it another way. What do you think of Ahadion's death?"
"die?"
Irisviel thought for a moment, and answered seriously:
"I am a homunculus, and my great grandfather is also a homunculus. Although we look like humans, and have all the functions that normal people should have, we also have magic circuits that surpass those of ordinary people, and standardized reverse magic seals engraved as initial settings. But even so, we are still not human.
"Humans fear death, perhaps because they once had life. Because they have it, they are afraid of losing it. But..."
Irisviel paused for a moment, turned the book to the first few pages, pointed to a line of text and read softly:
"God only waits for the separation of the soul from the body, in order to give us our full reward. Why should we wallow in sorrow, when life will soon be over, and death will surely be the entrance to happiness and glory?"
"Death is like this for androids. Whether it's Great Grandfather or me, we are not afraid of death. Even if Great Grandfather is dead, there will be a new Ahadon to inherit his duties. Even if I die, there will be other androids to replace me. It's just that simple.
"If I had to describe my feelings towards Kira-kun, it would be more gratitude than hatred."
"gratitude?"
Kira Yoshikage suddenly found it a little funny.
Irisviel nodded with a serious expression:
“Although Kira-kun killed Ahadon, he did not destroy Einzbern’s magic workshop, nor did he kill Emiya Kiritsugu, who was hired by the great grandfather. Instead, he kept him to continue serving Einzbern.
"So, I am very grateful to Kira-kun."
Irisviel believed that Kira Yoshikage had the ability to destroy the Einzbern family, and was grateful to him because he did not destroy the Einzbern family.
As long as the Magic Workshop exists, someone will inherit Einzbern's long-cherished wish.
This is the most important!
"how about you?"
"I?"
Irisviel blinked her eyes and answered seriously:
“My words don’t matter.
"I am the Vessel of the Holy Grail, and I exist as the key to the Greater Holy Grail that will initiate the forthcoming Fourth Holy Grail War. As long as I can maintain a certain degree of self-identity until the ritual of the Greater Holy Grail, it doesn't matter how Kira-kun wants to use me.
"It's okay if it gets intense. As a puppet, I won't be damaged that easily. Even if I get damaged, I have spare parts to repair it. So... ah~!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Kira Yoshikage showed an expression that said 'I really can't do anything with you' and squeezed Irisviel's O hard, causing the girl to exclaim.
"You just said there would be a new Ahadion, right?"
Kira Yoshikage gently licked the girl's crystal earlobe, held the girl's white and tender hand with his right hand and pressed it against his cheek, and gently stroked the girl's tender skin with his left hand.
"Hmm~ Yes... Yes. Ahadon is... um... the humanoid terminal of Einzbern. When the previous generation of Ahadon dies, a new Ahadon will be produced to continue to lead... ah... Einzbern."
"So, if I completely destroy the magic workshop that produced Ahadon, will new androids be produced?"
"Uh~hmm~haah…no…don't…please don't do that."
The girl's body was tense and her eyes revealed a nervous look.
"Don't worry, I will only destroy Ahadon's production process. Other androids can still be produced normally. Since your goal is to realize the long-cherished wish of the Einzbern family, it doesn't matter even if there is no Ahadon, right?"
"Hmm~ If that's the case... well~ please don't break your promise."
"Of course, I always keep my promises."
If she could save the Einzbern family at the cost of sacrificing Ahadon, it was a price she could accept.
She could not resist Kira Yoshikage, nor could the Einzbern. As androids, they had no right to disobey.
The choice she made was undoubtedly the right one.
Even if my great grandfather knew about this in the afterlife, he would definitely be very pleased, right?
Chapter 211: Germany's cyborg technology is the best in the world! !
The fundamental existence of androids is pure machinery, without self and without emotions, and they are truly puppets.
Even though most of them have the necessary 'humanity' and 'personality' implanted in them, their essence is still just puppets with empty human appearance.
Even the so-called Einzbern family was, in the final analysis, just a workshop established by the disciples of magicians who realized the "Third Law".
but!
Even if you have no heart and just repeat the same words, mechanical actions will not lie.
Even if their former creators have long since given up, the abandoned puppets still perform their duties.
They are unintentional, and the work they are given will last.
But even in the Einzbern family, there are exceptions.
Irisviel von Einzbern.
Irisviel is a cyborg, but not completely a cyborg.
As an artificial human, like other artificial humans, her most fundamental goal is to achieve the Third Law.
But unlike other androids, Irisviel possesses a luxurious self.
When Irisviel was created, a self capable of autonomous action and situational judgment was implanted into her body as the most efficient means to protect the Holy Grail.
Lu Xun once said: People always like to compromise by nature. For example, if you say that the room is too dark and you need to open a window here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will compromise and be willing to open the window.
It was this self that gave Irisviel the right to think.
Thinking allowed her to accurately weigh the pros and cons of 'removing the roof' and 'opening windows' and make a compromise.
Compared to the complete destruction of Einzbern, the disappearance of Ahadon is undoubtedly an acceptable price.
therefore.
Even though she had already collapsed, the powerless girl still tried to hold on and let Kira Yoshikage tidy up her messy clothes, wipe off the water stains, and carry her to the magic workshop. She would personally teach Kira Yoshikage how to destroy "Ahadion" correctly, because only in this way could it avoid affecting other processes in the workshop.
"Kira-kun, this way."
The pure white lady snuggled in Kira Yoshikage's arms, her small hands tightly grasping his clothes, and from time to time she spoke to point him in the direction.
Kira Yoshikage did not respond, his eyes fell on the man standing in the corridor.
Black hair, black eyes, and a black windbreaker.
Although he looks ordinary, anyone with excellent intuition can sense the dangerous aura emanating from him.
That was none other than the man known by the outside world as the Magician Killer, Emiya Kiritsugu.
He was looking up at the painted window high up, which depicted the long history of the Einzbern family as they wandered in search of the Holy Grail.
And in the painting that Emiya Kiritsugu was looking at, there was the 'Winter Saint' of the Einzbernz family, Justisa Rizleich von Einzbern, and two magicians serving on her left and right.
All three of them reached for the Holy Grail in the sky.
The composition of this painting, and the sense of balance in the creative intent, shows how the Einzbern family tried to belittle the Tōsaka and Matou families two hundred years ago, and the humiliation they felt when they had to rely on them for help.
All of these can be seen through this painting.
"Emiya Kiritsugu?"
The wife raised her head from Kira Yoshikage's arms and looked at the man in front of her with some surprise.
She didn't know why the other party appeared here, on the road they had to take to destroy Ahadion.
Could it be that a new Ahadon has been born, trying to use Emiya Kiritsugu to stop them?
Under normal circumstances, the creation of a puppet would not be so fast. After all, Ahadion was killed yesterday, and one day was not enough to shape the body. But if Ahadion's spare body had already been made and was just dormant, one day would be enough.
But if it is really like this.
Then it won’t be just Emiya Kiritsugu who will come.
All the androids in this castle, and even the castle itself, will become their enemies!
Irisviel couldn't help but become nervous, and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with a wary look.
If this is really the case.
Then they would have to speed up and break into the chapel and destroy Ahadion before the other maids could gather.
But the prerequisite is that they must quickly break through Kiritsugu Emiya's obstruction!
"Ok?"
Emiya Kiritsugu also noticed the arrival of Kira Yoshikage and his companions, and his eyes fell on the girl held in Kira Yoshikage's arms. The girl in the pure white dress was indeed stunningly beautiful, but that was not the reason for his attention, after all, almost all the dolls of the Einzbern family were like this.
The reason why I paid attention was because of the undisguised vigilance in the other person's eyes.
Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that she doesn't hide it, but perhaps she doesn't know how to hide it.
After all, they are just artificial humans, and their "personalities" are just simulated products. They cannot control their emotions as freely as real humans.
But why?
He came here because he was hired by the Einzbern family.
She is an android of the Einzbern family, and they should be close allies.
Why are you looking at him with such hostility?
Can an android possess this level of self?
Emiya Kiritsugu frowned slightly.
He didn't know much about androids, but he also knew that the Einzbern family's achievements in the field of androids were unmatched. So he didn't speculate, but just thought that the personality simulated by the other party was like this.
