In the anime, Kira Yoshikage longs for a peaceful life

They will not age or grow, and will remain in the same appearance as when they were born.

This is very consistent with his understanding of artificial humans.

If he is a real human being, even a magician, he cannot maintain his youthful appearance forever.

But even if they are just artificial humans, they are still the masters of this castle, and they are the newcomers, so the most basic courtesy and respect are still necessary.

"Mr. Emiya."

Yukinoshita Haruno hugged Illya and responded with a polite smile:

"They're waiting for you in the chapel."

"Ok?"

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded calmly, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

I had just returned and the maid had no chance to inform them, so why did they react as if they had known about it for a long time?

Walk through the cloister, on the way to the chapel.

Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes inadvertently fell on a painting on the stained glass. It showed the Einzbern family's 'Saint of the East' Justisa, and two magicians serving on her left and right. All three of them stretched their hands towards the Holy Grail in the sky.

When he first came to the city of Einzbern, his eyes were deeply attracted by this painting.

And this time, his eyes were still attracted by the painting, and his gaze became more and more eager as time went by.

Holy Grail!

He had waited so long for this!

Isn't this the moment it's all about?

As long as he can win the Holy Grail and realize his dream, everything will be worth it!

The Einzbern Chapel.

Nine years ago, he was scolded by the Einzbern androids for getting too close.

Nine years later, he entered the chapel in a dignified manner, because in his right hand he held the Command Seal bestowed upon him by the Holy Grail.

It was not an Einzbern android, nor anyone else, but it was him, Emiya Kiritsugu!

pat!

Emiya Kiritsugu walked into the chapel, and the old man had been waiting in front of the altar for a long time. It was the patriarch of the Einzbern family, Ahadon!

In the past nine years, he rarely saw the old man, and the negotiations had always been handled by the androids named Irisviel and Kira Yoshikage.

But at such a critical moment as summoning heroic spirits, it is normal for Ahadion to choose to come forward in person.

"This is the holy relic that my love Inzbern has been looking for in Cornwall!"

While stroking his white beard that reminded one of a frozen waterfall, old man Ahad stared at Kiritsugu from deep within his sunken eye sockets with a shrewd gaze that made it impossible to tell that he was old.

He pointed to the charcoal-colored long chest tied to the altar, his eyes flashing with fanaticism and paranoia that ordinary people could hardly understand:

"If I use it as a medium, I should be able to summon the strongest 'Sword Heroic Spirit' imaginable as a Servant!

“Kiritsugu, just consider this as the greatest assistance given to you by the Einzbern family!”

"I'm so scared, my lord."

Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head deeply, pretending to be expressionless and without any emotion.

"Kiritsugu, open it!"

As the old patriarch's voice was filled with hidden excitement, Emiya Kiritsugu opened the long cabinet that the old patriarch pointed to and was deeply attracted by the things inside.

It was a scabbard.

Made of gold and decorated with dazzling blue enamel, this luxurious equipment is more like a treasure that shows the majesty of a nobleman, like a crown and a staff, rather than a weapon. The engraving in the middle is a long-lost fairy language, proving that this scabbard is a work of art made by non-human hands.

It has clearly been around for 1,500 years, but it is still perfect, just like the king who possessed it in the legend!

"In this Holy Grail War, no one should be left behind. The other six servants must be eliminated and the third magic, 'Heavenly Grail', must be completed!"

"As ordered."

The magician responded respectfully to the old patriarch's passionate command, which seemed to contain a curse.

However, deep down, Emiya Kiritsugu disagreed with Ahadon's obsession with realizing the third magic to save all mankind.

His own wishes take priority far above everything else!

-----------------

In the magic workshop under the chapel, the silver-white girl asked with some doubt:

"Kira-kun, why don't we lead this ceremony ourselves?"

"Because none of us can show enthusiasm for the Third Law, such enthusiasm is necessary to prevent Emiya Kiritsugu from having doubts."

Kira Yoshikage stroked the huge machine in front of him and answered in an unusually calm manner.

As early as nine years ago, the underlying structure of the Einzbern family's magic workshop had been tampered with.

Of the original three laws, the second one, 'reproducing the third law', had long been removed, and the new generation of androids no longer had any obsession with the third law.

But only Ahadion.

Kira Yoshikage specially reserved his production line for use at this moment.

But accordingly.

Once his mission was completed, there was no need to continue producing the artificial man named 'Ahadon'.

and so.

Snapped!

Kira Yoshikage pressed his thumb.

In the silent explosion, the huge machine disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"So,"

Irisviel clenched her fist lightly, and a bright red emblem was engraved on the back of her right hand. "Should we continue to summon new Servants?"

That is the crystallization of magic power called the Command Seal, which is the ticket to becoming a Master granted by the Holy Grail to those magicians who have an urgent need for it.

The fact that Irisviel possesses the Command Seal proves that she has a desire for the Holy Grail that far exceeds that of ordinary people, and that she has wishes that can only be fulfilled with the help of the Holy Grail.

She could have summoned a Heroic Spirit with the Saber class herself, without having to rely on Emiya Kiritsugu.

Her ability as a magician may not be the best, but her quality as a magician is better than Emiya Kiritsugu.

Even if the servants she summons are not as good as Saber in terms of job rank, their strength is definitely not inferior to the servants summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu. If she also participates in the Holy Grail War, no matter who the enemy is, she will definitely win the Holy Grail for Kira Yoshikage with her own hands. This is her confidence!

"Do not waste."

Kirara Yoshikage held the girl's hand and shook his head gently, "The Servant will be there. Emiya Kiritsugu will deliver it personally."

After comforting his wife, Kira Yoshikage looked at the girl with long black hair who had appeared beside him at some point:

"Yukino, can we leave now?"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly:

"Just as I guessed, when entering a critical node in history, the time inside and outside the barrier will gradually stabilize. It is January 1994 in the outside world, and it is also January 1 when I return here. I should not fall into the turbulence of time like before."

-----------------

Inside the chapel.

Emiya Kiritsugu carved the magic circle required to summon the Heroic Spirit by himself and chanted the spell:

"Full, full, full, full, full, full

The cycle begins again, followed by five

However, when it is full, it is time to abandon it.

Its base is silver and iron

The foundation stone and the Duke of the Contract

Build a wall against the incoming wind.

Close the four doors.

From the crown.

Go back and forth on the three-way road to the kingdom.

Proclamation—

You obey my orders, my life rests in your sword

If you follow the destiny of the Holy Grail, follow this meaning and this principle, then respond!

swear here

I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world

I will kill all the evildoers in the world.

You are the Seven Heavens, the guardian of the Libra, who descended here from the wheel of restraint, with the three great words in your body—!"

"Let me ask you, are you my master?"

When a blonde girl wearing an intricate and gorgeous blue armor appeared in front of Emiya Kiritsugu and asked in a cold voice.

Beads of sweat broke out on Emiya Kiritsugu's forehead, not just because the legendary Knight King was actually a woman.

More importantly, the moment I saw the girl in front of me.

He already understood that his compatibility with the Knight King was far worse than he had imagined!

As a magician, he may have major flaws, and his abilities are not top notch.

However, when it comes to judging people, he will never make mistakes!

If there were no restraint of the Command Seals, he even suspected that Saber would directly draw her sword and chop him!

Faithful Saber is the highest rank among the seven classes summoned by the Holy Grail. Even if the one summoned is the legendary Knight King, it is almost equivalent to obtaining an invincible Servant.

But the moment Emiya Kiritsugu saw her, he realized that he had no ability to control this Servant.

Their combination will have a completely counterproductive effect, and they might even be the first group to be eliminated!

-----------------

In the small room, Emiya Kiritsugu sat at his desk and opened the laptop he brought from outside.

Most of the magus families with a long history looked down upon technology and machinery, but Emiya Kiritsugu was an exception.

In fact.

Kiritsugu Emiya originally thought that his request to install telephone lines and generators in Einzbern City would be rejected, but he never thought that the Einzbern family would agree so readily, otherwise he would not be able to use his computer to access the Internet now.

Emiya Kiritsugu operated the keyboard skillfully, and a new email appeared on the LCD screen.

The above is the information collected by his assistants about other Masters in this Holy Grail War.

Of the seven Masters chosen by the Holy Grail, four have already been confirmed.

Tousaka Tokiomi, the head of the Tousaka family, is good at using 'fire' attribute gem magic.

Matou Kariya, who forced a loser who did not inherit the family position to the position of Master, is not worthy of attention.

Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, possessing the dual attributes of wind and water, is an expert in necromancy, summoning, and alchemy.

as well as--

"Kotomine Kirei."

Emiya Kiritsugu whispered the man's name.

Among these four, the others are either from the three great families, or are first-class instructors in the Clock Tower, true genius magicians. They all have a long heritage, or have powerful strength, or both.

But in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes, only Kotomine Kirei is the truly tough enemy!

For this reason, he had personally investigated Kotomine Kirei many times, and even kidnapped his daughter in an attempt to threaten him to give up the Holy Grail War. However, when he actually saw Kotomine Kirei's daughter, who looked delicate but was actually extremely empty inside, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately understood that this man was absolutely like his daughter, with only complete emptiness inside!

He has nothing that can be called a desire, and he doesn't care about anything.

Threatening him with his daughter will have absolutely no effect, he will sacrifice his daughter to kill the enemy without hesitation.
