Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

"Then...what is the right choice?"

"So your brain really can't make sense."

Xia Yuan opened his hands and said very easily: "Then why don't you just choose?"

"If you are the driver of the tram, you don't need to worry about whether to change lanes or not, just brake hard and do your best. If you are the decision maker, you don't need to make a choice either, just let it go and follow fate, because you are not qualified to kill anyone."

"If the result is not good, then that's all that can be done. After all, it wasn't you who brought them on track. As long as your choice is the right one, that's all that matters."

"The so-called trolley problem is a joke. It sounds cowardly and like I'm avoiding the problem, but I don't want to measure the value of two lives. So I'd rather work hard until I die than decide how many people live and how many die. Do you understand me?"

"I would rather work hard until I die... than measure the value of life..."

Emiya Kiritsugu was in a daze, muttering to himself what Xia Yuan had said.

"But... is this the correct answer? Can those who survive be redeemed? They clearly bear the lives of the others."

"Who knows?"

Xia Yuan smiled and continued, "I am just a human, not an angel. I don't have the power to decide who to redeem and who must be redeemed. Just make your own choices and have a clear conscience. You don't need to feel guilty towards anyone."

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. There's no point in talking to you anymore given your miserable state. I should get started."

Looking at Emiya Kiritsugu who was already in confusion, Xia Yuan knew that there was no need to continue the conversation.

All that needs to be said has been said.

Although he also sympathized with the pitiful character of Emiya Kiritsugu, it was only sympathy, and he was not kind enough to forgive him without caring.

I am not qualified to forgive him on behalf of those who died because of this guy, and revenge is the most important motto he left for me.

So he raised his finger, ready to take something from Emiya Kiritsugu's body.

"What are you going to do to Kiritsugu?"

Seeing Xia Yuan raising his hand to harm Emiya Kiritsugu, Hisau Maiya didn't care about the difference in strength, and suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed him hard in the neck.

It was obvious that she had been on guard from the beginning, ready to draw her weapon and attack at any time.

But it was too slow. In his eyes now, such an attack was not even a joke.

“Really? I told you I’m here to see Emiya Kiritsugu, Hisau Maiya-san. Why do you have to do this?”

“Don’t be ridiculous, I won’t—Uooaaaaaaaa!!”

The moment Hisau Maiya opened her mouth, she disappeared before she could even finish her words.

With a shrill and surprised scream, the whole person flew out.

It was as if he was hit head-on by a truck and flew towards the clothing store behind him, then he hit the wall and fainted.

“Maiya!!!”

Seeing his assistant being knocked away in an instant, even the depressed Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but scream.

This was one of the few people he cherished in this world, and he could not afford to lose her again.

“Kill me! Please kill me! Don’t hurt Maiya. All these mistakes are because of me. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Don’t go on…”

Emiya Kiritsugu kept begging Xia Yuan. The man who had lost everything choked with sobs and wanted to use his own life in exchange for Hisau Maiya not being harmed.

But this scene made me feel like a villain in a movie. It was obviously Emiya Kiritsugu who started the trouble, and I was just here to settle the score.

However, just as Emiya Kiritsugu pleaded, Xia Yuan did not intend to involve too many people.

Although Hisau Maiya was considered to be Emiya Kiritsugu's right-hand man, she was at best just a tool, a tool that would only unconditionally follow Emiya Kiritsugu's orders. The grudges between them were not something that a tool could bear.

"I didn't kill her. I only used enough force to knock her unconscious. She's bound to break some bones, but you're the only one I want to settle accounts with. I won't implicate anyone else."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan reached out and grabbed Emiya Kiritsugu by the collar and lifted him up.

"Will you feel a little more relieved if I say this, Emiya Kiritsugu?"

"Thank you..." He lowered his head and murmured.

"No need to thank me, this is just a reckoning. Of course, I won't kill you, because for you, death can now be considered redemption. I won't be so kind to you."

"You have to bear those sins and continue to live. Now I am going to take something from you. You have to grit your teeth and endure it."

The words fell.

puff-

A blood-red petal bloomed in mid-air.

A ball of golden light burst out from his chest.

Chapter 61: Heading to a New Stage

Time: three months later.

Location: Fuyuki City Airport.

sunny.

This is good weather for flights.

In the back row of the waiting room, a young man was taking a nap by the window. There was still some time before the flight to London departed, so he wanted to rest his eyes first.

With the miracles performed by the Holy Grail, all the buildings destroyed in the war were restored, even his own house that was tragically destroyed in the gas explosion was successfully restored, and now he has returned it to the team leader.

Although what happened during those few days was extremely serious, fortunately it did not have too much of an impact, and the rift between mystery and reality was repaired with the help of the Holy Grail.

Those who died and came back to life that night regarded the experience as a nightmare, and the magician kept silent about it.

After resolving all the troubles, he has now packed all the important luggage and is ready to leave this city which can barely be regarded as his second home.

I am really reluctant to leave this place where I have lived for many years.

"Brother Xia Yuan."

As Xia Yuan was reminiscing, he heard the energetic voice of a young girl. He turned around and looked at the person who came. It was the lively girl, Fujimura Taiga, who came specially to see him off.

Seeing who was coming, Xia Yuan stood up and looked at Fujimura Taiga who was running towards him, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Taiga, are you here specially to see me off?"

"Hehe, that's right. I also prepared a parting gift for Brother Xia Yuan." The girl smiled and then reached into her pocket, took out a small black box and handed it to him.

"Are these... glasses?"

Xia Yuan weighed the box, then looked at the special design of the box, and roughly confirmed what was inside.

"Yes, this is the new pair of sunglasses I bought from Tokyo. They look very suitable for Brother Xia Yuan. Hurry up and try them on."

"Thank you, Taiga. But... such exquisite sunglasses must be very expensive, right? Do you have enough pocket money to spend them?"

When I opened the box, there was indeed a pair of exquisite round sunglasses inside, just as Dahe had said.

Judging from the packaging and design, it should be a luxury product and the price will definitely be scary.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's just two months' pocket money. I usually save money."

"That's really..."

"deep."

Just as the two were still arguing and talking, an old but powerful voice suddenly came from the door.

"grandfather."

"Team leader."

The two stopped playing and looked at Team Leader Fujimura who appeared at the door.

"Yes, it's me." The elderly team leader Fujimura walked towards them with a cane.

"Alas, you young man have to leave after all. The organization is still in a critical period of development and transformation. I really don't want to let a young and capable guy like you leave."

He looked at Xia Yuan and couldn't help but sigh.

"But it's good this way. Young people should go out and explore more. Seeing the world will make a big difference. Besides...you are full of secrets, and even I can't see through all the messes."

"I'm sorry, team leader, I have caused you so much trouble."

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly, then said: "However, you still have so many capable assistants under you, as well as an excellent successor like Dahe. I believe that even without me, the future of the Fujimura Group will definitely not be a problem."

"That's right, leave it to me, old man."

"When I take over as team leader, I promise to lead everyone in the Fujimura team to defeat all the guys from other organizations and show them who is the boss of Fuyuki City."

Daha stretched out his hand and patted his chest, making a high-spirited gesture, like a proud little tiger.

For her, she has been looking forward to taking over the Fujimura Group as soon as possible, becoming the big sister of the gang, and then going out to do big things with her younger brothers with a legitimate reason. Such a cool thing is still very attractive to a girl of her age.

"Haha, girl, it's too early for you. It's not your turn yet. Wait until I'm too old to do it." Team leader Fujimura shook his head and said unhappily.

"The most important thing for you now is not the fighting and killing in the underworld. Just finish your studies honestly and stop thinking about these nonsense."

"Um..."

When he thought about the mountain of holiday homework he would have to do again, Dahe lowered his head helplessly.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yuan laughed.

It seems that even the future underworld boss of Fuyuki City would have a headache about doing homework.

"Young man, take this."

"This is?"

Pulling out an envelope from his long sleeves and handing it to Xia Yuan, Team Leader Fujimura said, "Young man, you must take good care of yourself when you are abroad. You will definitely need money when you are abroad this time, and here is a check for 40,000 Euros. Take these with you, as a token of my appreciation for this old man and the organization."

This money is the old man's care for Xia Yuan, and it is also a reflection of their friendship over the years. Although they have not been together for a long time, Xia Yuan has long been one of his own in his eyes and an indispensable part of the Fujimura Group.

He is smart, capable, and has a very advanced vision in everything he does. He is completely different from those dull or reckless young people. He also has a good relationship with Da He and is a trustworthy young man. Originally, he wanted to slowly train Xia Yuan to take over as Wakato, and then gradually replace the old people like them, to become the new blood of the Fujimura Group, and help Da He manage the Fujimura Group in the future.

But everyone has their own aspirations, and he is not an old and unreasonable man. Since the child does not want to stay and wants to go out and explore, then let him go. After all, a forced melon is not sweet. As long as this kid does not forget that there is a home called Fujimura Group in Fuyuki City waiting for him to come back at any time, it will be fine.

As an elder, all he had to do now was to give a simple farewell.

"Thank you, Team Leader Fujimura." Xia Yuan nodded, took the envelope from the old man with a smile, and said his final goodbye.

"Team leader, and Taiga. I am really lucky to have met you and the big family of Fujimura Group when I was the loneliest and most helpless in my life."

"So even if I am far away from this city, I will always remember this place and my big family in Fuyuki City. If there is anything you need me for, you can always contact me. I will rush back no matter where in the world I am."

"Brother Xia Yuan..."

Before leaving, Daha silently stepped forward and gave Xia Yuan a farewell hug.

"Stinky boy."

Listening to what Xia Yuan said, old man Fujimura sighed helplessly, then blew his beard and said unhappily: "Do you need to tell me that? As long as you are still alive, you will be a member of the Fujimura Group for the rest of your life. Don't think about those things. We old bones are still very strong. It is not a problem to work for another ten years. Leave the things here to us. You must take good care of yourself when you are abroad. If you have any difficulties, you should contact me at any time."

"Yes, yes. Don't think I'm troublesome then, Team Leader."

"Humph, stop talking about this."

He couldn't help but smile, then looked at the flashing flight time above his head and said, "It's almost time, an old man like me won't bother you anymore."

"Dahe, let's go."

"Oh."

Da He responded, and before leaving, he glanced at Xia Yuan and reminded him, "Brother Xia Yuan, if you encounter any trouble outside, just contact me at any time. I will bring my younger brothers to help you out then."

"Yes, yes, then we will all have to rely on the Tiger of Fuyuki City, Big Sister Fujimura?"

"Hehe, that's good to know."

After a brief greeting, Xia Yuan watched Dahao leave with his grandfather.

Looking at the two people walking away and the thick envelope in his hand, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Really, I'm not a child anymore, do I have to worry so much..."

He felt himself getting warm inside.

"It's been three months..."

Fuyuki City, so much time has passed without me noticing in this world of death and rebirth.

……

……

Three months' time.

This is the entire time that the Holy Grail War has lasted from its beginning to now. During this period of active and busy time, time has passed silently.

Two months ago, after Xia Yuan returned from the roots, the first thing he did was to go to the Matou family to bring warmth to an elderly widower (physically), then he found the misguided boy and gave him a good education and made him get the punishment he deserved, ended the heart-to-heart talk with Matou Kariya, and finally went to have some heart-to-heart talks with Emiya Kiritsugu (physically). After getting what he wanted, he went to Tokyo without stopping.
