In the anime, Kira Yoshikage longs for a peaceful life

But why would such a man risk his life to fight for the Holy Grail?

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't understand.

But precisely because he couldn't understand, he could more clearly realize that Kotomine Kirei was definitely his most dangerous enemy!

Facing such an enemy, even Emiya Kiritsugu was not sure of victory.

But his servant is still the Knight King.

With their diametrically opposed philosophies, they were almost destined to fall apart in this Holy Grail War.

unless……

"Unless she is given to someone else to use."

Emiya Kiritsugu muttered to himself, as expected, Caster and Assassin were more compatible with him.

If it was Saber, they would be destined to become enemies even if they lived together for their entire lives.

If you want to avoid being eliminated in the first round, you must find a way to hand her over to the right person.

The only person he could trust was Hisau Maiya, but Hisau Maiya was also unable to control the Knight King.

Then, there is only the Einzbern family.

"At least before we seize the Holy Grail, we are still allies. We can borrow their strength."

Kiritsugu Emiya did not have much aversion to this. As long as the goal could be achieved, the process did not matter at all.

If he could use an Einzbern family android to impersonate Saber's Master, it would be more conducive to the actions of this magician killer.

In his mind, only the android named Irisviel is most suitable for this position.

His judgment of people was never wrong; that lady and Saber must have a good compatibility.

But to do so would be to use her as bait.

Ahadeon would definitely not refuse, after all, this was also an effort for Einzbern's long-cherished wish.

But the woman's husband...

Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes narrowed, the man named Kira Yoshikage.

Although he looks harmless and his magic power level is average, he is polite and gentle to everyone.

But Emiya Kiritsugu has always had a hunch that this man is the most dangerous person in this castle!

If he wanted to use his wife as bait.

Will he really agree?

“So, we can’t tell them the truth.”

Emiya Kiritsugu whispered to himself.

Chapter 216 Humans cannot understand each other, right? Saber

Einzbern Castle, inside the reception room.

Irisviel looked surprised:

"Leave Saber to us?"

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded slightly:

"Yes, I think this is in the best interests of both parties."

"Profit?"

Irisviel subconsciously looked at her husband with a questioning look.

Emiya Kiritsugu only thought that she was seeking advice, but he didn't know that the inquiry in her eyes had another meaning:

There is actually someone who would take the initiative to deliver a servant to one's door. Is there something seriously wrong with this person's brain?

"Our relationship is limited to cooperation. Einzbern probably can't trust me completely, right?

"In that case, it is naturally necessary for Einzbern to send someone to participate in the Holy Grail War as an observer. As for me, I cannot bring out the true value of Saber, so I also need Einzbern's assistance."

Emiya Kiritsugu's tone was unusually calm, as if he was just talking about a handy tool.

"Does Saber know?"

"Innocent."

When he heard Irisviel's question, Emiya Kiritsugu's evaluation of her reappeared in his mind.

All of Einzbern's androids are naive, but this lady is the most naive even among them.

"She'll take it."

Emiya Kiritsugu did not give a direct answer, so Saber certainly didn't know.

But even if they knew, it wouldn't matter. Since the summoning of this heroic spirit, they had only met once at the beginning.

Because just as he rejected Saber, Saber must also be very disgusted with working with him as her Master.

It's better for both parties to act separately.

As for what the Einzberns will do to Saber, it doesn't matter.

The Command Seals are in his hands, and he is the only one who is Saber's true Master.

No matter what Einzbern did to Saber, he could easily undo it through the Command Spells' absolute control over his Servants.

"So, do you want to accept my proposal?"

Emiya Kiritsugu did not look at the innocent lady, but stared at her husband.

Because Emiya Kiritsugu understood that he was the only one who was truly qualified to make the decision.

"I can cooperate, but I have two conditions."

Kira Yoshikage was not surprised by Emiya Kiritsugu's proposal. He raised two fingers in succession, "First, you must share the information of other Masters with us. Second, if Saber becomes the last Servant, the timing of summoning the Holy Grail must be decided by us, the Einzbern family!"

"make a deal."

Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes flickered and he nodded solemnly.

The constraints of the contract are impossible for him to violate, but that doesn't mean he can't find loopholes.

He has at least three ways to exploit loopholes in this simple contract.

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

"He will definitely find a way to exploit this loophole."

Watching Emiya Kiritsugu leave the room, Kira Yoshikage asserted, "For Emiya Kiritsugu, the purpose of a contract is to be broken."

"Then why do we need to sign a contract with him?" Irisviel was a little confused.

"Because we were going to give him a chance to exploit a loophole."

Kira Yoshikage smiled and said nonchalantly.

The purpose of a contract is nothing more than to provide a certain sense of security to both parties who sign the contract.

Generally speaking, there is no absolute equality in a contract, and there will definitely be a bias towards one party.

The contract he signed with Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to be for the purpose of protecting the interests of Einzbern.

But in reality, this crude contract provides no guarantees.

The contract clearly states that if Saber becomes the last Servant, the timing to summon the Holy Grail must be ours.

But on the other hand, wouldn’t it be enough as long as Saber doesn’t become the last Servant?

If Saber leaves early, the contract will be invalidated.

Similarly, Kiritsugu Emiya can also choose to kill them. As long as they, as the subjects of the contract, die, the contract will also be invalidated.

There was no way that Emiya Kiritsugu would not notice such a glaring loophole. At the moment of signing the contract, he had already thought about how to violate the contract without being punished, or how to obtain the Holy Grail without violating the contract.

These loopholes would undoubtedly give Emiya Kiritsugu a false sense of security and cause him to misjudge the current situation.

Irisviel asked hesitantly:

"So, are we still going to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

"No, we don't participate, we just watch the show."

The so-called Holy Grail War is an opportunity for participating Masters and Servants to realize their wishes.

But for the world itself, this is the key to whether they can integrate into 'reality'!

The ending of the Holy Grail War is the key to opening the door to reality.

In order for the key to open the correct lock, it must be carved into the ideal shape.

Kira Yoshikage was not interested in the Holy Grail, nor in what shape the key was.

He only cares about his wife's hands.

He really liked the hands that the girl named Irisviel possessed.

It is obviously a man-made product, but it is so exquisitely crafted that its beauty is no less than that of any pair of hands!

Moreover, even if he spent ten thousand years as long as this, he would never get tired of having only these hands accompanying him.

and so……

"Mrs."

Kira Yoshikage called softly.

"Ok?"

Irisviel tilted her head.

Obviously, among humans, calling someone "dear" or "darling" is more common.

She prefers Kira Yoshikage to call her by her name 'Airi', but Kira Yoshikage's favorite name is always 'Madam'.

"I won't let you die."

Kira Yoshikage promised solemnly.

"Ah~!"

Irisviel smiled sweetly and gently stroked Kira Yoshikage's cheek, "I believe you~!"

Kira Yoshikage held his wife's hand and took off her silk gloves, exposing her fair skin to the air.

He lowered his head and gently kissed the Command Seal on the back of his hand.

how to say.

Humans have a type of XP called 'Silver Streak'.

For Kira Yoshikage, these Command Seals engraved on the back of his hands are the silver lines that can increase his attack speed!

Fuyuki City, Matou Residence.

Matou Kariya leaned his back against the wall, trying to keep himself standing so that he could see himself clearly in the mirror.

As of yesterday, the vision in my left eye has completely disappeared.

Like the necrotic, cloudy white of the eye, the muscles around the eye are completely paralyzed.

The eyelids and eyebrows were unable to move. Perhaps the left half of the face had already taken on a dead look, as stiff and motionless as a mask.

The hair has turned completely white.

Scars appeared on the skin wherever it was touched, and other places lost all their blood color, turning into a ghostly earthy gray. The poison called magic power circulated in the veins, and they could be seen expanding under the almost transparent skin, and the whole body seemed to be covered with blue-black cracks.

The physical breakdown was faster than expected, especially the damage to the nerves in the left half of the body.

At one point, my left wrist and left foot were even completely paralyzed.

The functions were temporarily restored through temporary rehabilitation exercises, but the reaction of the left hand is still slower than that of the right hand, and the left foot will drag on the ground if you walk fast.

Heart palpitations due to irregular pulse are commonplace.

Solid food is not allowed and glucose infusion is used instead.
