Public executions started with King Adonai

After hearing this, Natalia couldn't help but laugh, and then said very seriously that she would find a way to land successfully, but those Dead Apostle Bees and Dead Apostles were difficult to deal with.

Honestly, Natalia didn't have the confidence to handle it well, and she thought some of the Death Bees might escape.

Then, Emiya Kiritsugu replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution, Natalia."

At this moment, the background music melody was tinged with sadness, and Natalia was stunned for a moment before revealing a relieved smile: "So that's how it is, you have become reliable."

After a pause, she continued, "It's still a little over fifty minutes until we get to the airport. Before we get to the airport, the plane will fly over the sea."

"It's a bit long, kid, chat with me for a while!"

Something is wrong!

Something is very wrong!

This conversation seems normal, but I always feel that there is something else between the two people, as if they are hinting at something.

Some intuitive people already have a foreboding feeling.

Then, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was driving the speedboat, was seen stopping the speedboat at a location on the sea, starting to tinker with things and chatting with Natalia.

Accompanied by a light and slightly sad background music, the two continued to chat about various things, talking about the past and the future.

At this time, Natalia revealed her true feelings and told Kiritsugu Emiya that she actually felt guilty about bringing Kiritsugu Emiya into the mercenary business. She felt that Kiritsugu Emiya should have a better life - although entering this business was actually Kiritsugu Emiya's own choice, the woman still felt guilty.

This weakness made Natalia feel that she was getting old and had made such a serious mistake during the mission, and she said that she wanted to retire.

Emiya Kiritsugu asked Natalia what she wanted to do after retirement, and Natalia's answer was: "Maybe I will just play the game of pretending to be a mother..."

Her tone was relaxed and her words were melancholic. Obviously, she meant that after retirement, she would treat Emiya Kiritsugu like a real mother.

Or rather, it has already been like this, it’s just a matter of breaking the last layer of window paper.

The flag is full!

Then, when people saw Emiya Kiritsugu finished tinkering, countless people's eyes widened in an instant.

Damn, Emiya Kiritsugu, what is that in your hand?

Are you sure that thing was used to help Natalia finish off the mess?

Hey!

You kid, don't you want to...

No! Emiya Kiritsugu!

That's Natalia! Your adoptive mother!

She is not your scumbag father. She has never done anything wrong to you!

Amidst the stunned gazes of countless people, Emiya Kiritsugu raised the ultimate weapon in his hand - the 'Stinger' individual air defense missile!

Then, the camera zooms out at this moment, and a passenger plane is seen flying across the sky ahead, heading towards the New York airport.

Emiya Kiritsugu is located on the sea outside New York.

Then, Kiritsugu Emiya aimed the stinger in his hand at the plane and said his last words to Natalia to the accompaniment of sad BMG music.

"You are me..."

"A real family."

At this moment, what appeared in Kiritsugu Emiya's mind was the warm scene of him sitting next to Natalia and chatting with her when he was a child.

Then, the launch button was pressed, and the missile flew out of the barrel, quickly emitting a tail flame and rushing towards the passenger plane in the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Finally, the target was hit and the plane exploded.

The camera shifted to the cabin at this moment. People in the real world clearly saw the chain explosions in the cabin, and Natalia was also engulfed by the flames of the explosion.

However, at the moment of being swallowed, the woman showed a relieved smile.

It's as if to say -

If this is your choice, then as a mother, I will always support you...

On the sea, watching the huge firework plane completely transformed into a huge one, the powerful weapon in Emiya Kiritsugu's hand fell powerlessly onto the boat. He was silent for a long time, and finally seemed to be telling someone, or as if he was talking to himself.

"Did you see that? Xia Lei..."

He knelt softly on the ground with a smile on his face, as if he was relieved.

“I didn’t run away this time…”

"Just like the time I killed my father, there's no escaping..."

"I didn't make the mistake I made in front of you..."

"I saved a lot of people this time..."

"If Natalia had landed successfully, who knows how many people would have died..."

When he got to this point, the man could no longer hold back and continued to speak with an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

"And by sacrificing her, we can prevent such a tragedy..."

"So...so...Xia Lei...I..."

"Woooo ...

The man cried, cried heart-wrenchingly, tears could not stop flowing, and his eyes were completely dull, as if he was completely dead.

It's so sad and painful.

Even through the light screen, people can feel the heart-wrenching pain, the endless hatred and sadness.

Then, once again, the scene of discussing the future with Xia Lei appeared in Kiritsugu Emiya's mind, and Xia Lei's lively voice sounded again.

"Kelly, what kind of adult do you want to be?"

Emiya Kiritsugu stopped crying and stood up. Although his tears were still flowing, they had stopped. There was an extremely determined expression on his face, and he actually spoke out his answer.

"I want to be..."

"Partners of Justice!"

Extremely firm, absolute will, unshakable determination.

It is this man’s ideal, the meaning of this man’s life, and the reason for this man’s existence in this life.

Too……

This man's greatest sorrow.

Then, gunshots suddenly rang out.

With a "whoosh", a bullet shot from behind Emiya Kiritsugu and went straight through his chest, leaving a pool of blood.

Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned for a moment, looking stunned, and then fell forward limply to the ground.

At this time, the image on the screen was showing Kiritsugu Emiya's front face, so when he fell to the ground, the attacker behind him was also revealed.

Black clothing, a red scarf hood, and a masked bandage.

This person is the mysterious man who killed Xia Lei!

Chapter 208: Another Father-Son Filial Piety

It can’t be explained!

Hey!

Emiya Kiritsugu, you are worthy of being me!

I can't understand it, I can't imagine it. Is this the optimal solution in your mind? Emiya Kiritsugu!

Very good, you killed your father and mother, Emiya Kiritsugu, you really can’t be seen from the perspective of a normal person!

The defense was broken and it exploded.

In the real world, people are confused by Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior.

Although the final conversation between Natalia and Emiya Kiritsugu was full of hints and flags, most people still didn't think so, and felt that the situation would not develop in the worst direction.

After all, that’s how Hollywood movies are performed!

However, some people with delicate minds had the idea that "as expected", and after Emiya Kiritsugu blew up the plane, they reviewed the entire process of communication between Natalia and Emiya Kiritsugu, and combined it with Natalia's own education of Emiya Kiritsugu, they understood it instantly.

Roman was one of them. A sad expression appeared on his face. Then he looked at the blown-up plane on the screen and began typing rapidly on the keyboard.

"Everyone, judging from the conversation between the two just now, Natalia already knew Emiya Kiritsugu's choice, and she chose to support Emiya Kiritsugu."

"It's obvious that Natalia has long understood that Emiya Kiritsugu truly wants to be a righteous partner, and she has used her own way to guide her on how to be a righteous partner—that is, to use the smallest sacrifice in exchange for the greatest results!"

"Yes, that's right. It's a typical mercenary mentality. Having witnessed many cruel scenes and possessing a strong will, Emiya Kiritsugu accepted this mentality."

"But Natalia also said that as a mercenary, you must always strive to survive, no matter what the circumstances."

"Natalia understands this, and so does Emiya Kiritsugu. So, when they were discussing whether or not to land the plane, their conversation was actually problematic!"

"Everyone, think carefully. Natalia's original words at the time were that she didn't know if she could successfully land, but she would do her best. And before that, she told Kiritsugu Emiya that the disaster of the Death Bee could not be cleaned up and would spread."

"When Natalia said this, it seemed like she was just having a casual conversation, but she was clearly telling Emiya Kiritsugu that she could no longer solve the problem. However, as a mercenary, she would do anything to survive—even if it meant sacrificing many lives. Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu had to make a choice!"

"Yes, this is Natalia's will. She will try her best to live, but what will Kiritsugu Emiya choose? She fully respects Kiritsugu Emiya's decision and lets Kiritsugu decide her own fate."

"They even pointed out that they would maneuver the plane over the sea and then land at the airport. Therefore, the place in the sea before landing at the airport would be the best and only chance to shoot down the plane."

"Natalia told Emiya Kiritsugu everything, and that also gave Emiya Kiritsugu a chance!"

"Don't doubt it, this isn't suicide. It's just a mother's decision to respect and support her child's choice!"

"Natalia and Emiya Kiritsugu were in constant contact. Natalia must have heard the speedboat and clearly knew at that moment that Emiya Kiritsugu had made his decision."

"So, after that, Natalia chatted with Emiya Kiritsugu about everything. They talked about the past, the future, and even mentioned retirement."

"When I heard her just now, I thought Natalia was just chatting about family matters. But do you remember how Natalia behaved before this? She was competent and calm, and never let on about family matters."

"Obviously, at that time, Natalia was leaving her last words. Before she died, she told Emiya Kiritsugu the words she had always kept hidden in her heart!"

"Emiya Kiritsugu also understood Natalia's intentions, which is why he said to her at the last moment, 'You are my true family.' It shows that he also understood Natalia's determination."

"That man must have been incredibly sad and tormented, but he didn't know I had the best of both worlds. As the plane was about to land at the airport, to prevent the tragedy that had occurred on that island and to save more lives, Emiya Kiritsugu, the 'messenger of justice' who had been trained by Natalia to think like a mercenary, followed the principle of 'maximum gain at the lowest cost' and decided to sacrifice his adoptive mother, Natalia, to save more lives."

"That's why Natalia had a relieved smile on her face before she died."

"This was actually a choice made jointly by Emiya Kiritsugu and Natalia. Natalia used her own life to help Emiya Kiritsugu realize his ideals, and she also used her own life to teach Emiya Kiritsugu how heavy a burden it is to be a partner in justice!"

His fingers played like piano, and while Emiya Kiritsugu was still wailing and crying, Roman sent out this long comment, then leaned back as if exhausted, and then looked at Emiya Kiritsugu on the light screen with complicated eyes.

In a state of melancholy, Roman even recalled the previous video on the screen, where Kiritsugu Emiya wanted to escape with Irisviel.

I didn’t understand it at first, but later I learned that Irisviel is the Lesser Holy Grail, the container of the Holy Grail. To obtain the Holy Grail, Irisviel must be sacrificed.

This was undoubtedly another painful choice of sacrificing loved ones, so Kiritsugu Emiya wanted to take Irisviel away at that time. The scarred man showed his cowardly side at that time. He didn't want to lose again, so he wanted to give up his ideals and run away.

However, Irisviel knew Emiya Kiritsugu's pain and understood that Emiya Kiritsugu would no longer be himself if he lost his dream, so this understanding woman chose to persuade Emiya Kiritsugu.

Even if it means sacrificing himself, he will help Kiritsugu Emiya fulfill his dream of saving the world.

For this reason, from that moment on, Emiya Kiritsugu completely put aside his personal feelings and focused on obtaining the Holy Grail. In order to achieve this goal, any means can be used and anyone can be sacrificed.

This included Emiya Kiritsugu himself—as long as he could obtain the Holy Grail and make a wish to save the world, this man would do anything, even if it meant death in the next moment.

This was the resolve held by the man named Emiya Kiritsugu.

Those who also knew this included Irisviel, Natalia, Emiya Norikaze, and Xia Lei in the real world, who knew Emiya Kiritsugu well.

The one who understood it most clearly was undoubtedly Emiya Kiritsugu himself. He had been completely silenced, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped.

Emiya Kiritsugu felt deep sorrow and sympathy for the experience of the self in the image on the light screen, but he was also filled with gratitude - he was grateful that he did not experience everything that the Emiya Kiritsugu in the image on the light screen had experienced. Even though his life was not perfect and there were many regrets, he did not go to extremes.

At least, the people I care about are still alive, I have two children, my wife is gentle and beautiful, my parents are still alive, and I live a happy life.

Just these things alone filled his heart with a full sense of happiness, making Emiya Kiritsugu cherish all of this even more.

Then, Emiya Kiritsugu in the light screen image was shot.

worldwide:"……?"

What?

How did this righteous partner get shot?
