Emiya Kiritsugu quarreled with Seike and lost. Then he wanted to use absolute "violence" (command spell) to make Seike obey him, but was stopped by Irisviel... Isn't this scene very similar?

what?

[Illya, why do I feel that this scene is very similar to the scene when an old father quarrels with a rebellious child, and when he loses and is about to beat someone, he is pulled out by the child's mother.] Xing Ke commented matter-of-factly.

"Uh... stop talking, it ruins the atmosphere too much. I can't even look at this scene directly..." Illya covered her face and said in a humming voice.

【Also, sorry.】

"...What?" Illya didn't know why Xingji suddenly apologized.

[I seem to have taken your place... Maybe it would be better if the person here was "Rebellious Bad Girl Illya". 】

If you imagine that scene for a moment, it feels very... touching?

"What nonsense are you talking about! Who is rebellious! Who is a bad girl! ~ I will never have that period!

Ahhhh~ It’s all your fault, now I can’t even return to the original feeling of seriously looking at the mismatch of fate~ What did you do!~~”

[Ah la~ah la~Sorry...hahaha...]

"Ai Li, do you also... think I was wrong?"

The atmosphere of silence and smoke filled the conference room, suppressing it.

Except for Xingke, everyone's expressions were very depressed. Although Xingke had just dispelled the depressive atmosphere on Illya's side, he did not intend to dispel the depressive atmosphere here. Instead, he wanted to continue to see the situation.

"Kiritsugu..."

Irisviel looked worried, but she didn't know how to comfort her husband at this time.

Likewise, she didn't know what happened to her husband last night to disrupt her position herself, but...

"No, Kiritsugu, no one here thinks you did anything wrong? Please don't blame yourself so much."

These gentle words were like a breeze blowing through Emiya Kiritsugu's heart. At the same time, a breeze really swept away the smoke in the room, and the air suddenly took on a new look.

"..."

Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to realize something and looked in the direction of Irisviel and Hoshiki in a daze.

But Irisviel just smiled, looked at the calm star and asked:

"Little Saber, do you think Kiritsugu is wrong? As a Master, as a righteous partner, and as a husband..."

"No, I don't think Mr. Master has done anything wrong. He has always been right."

Xingji just calmly narrated his words

"Master, why do you doubt your correctness? You are obviously just weak and incompetent. Strength has nothing to do with being right or wrong."

"You said...it doesn't matter?!"

Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have heard something surprising, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

But at this moment, Irisviel seemed to have a flash of inspiration and smiled suddenly:

"Little Saber, can you say again what you said when you just swore allegiance to Kiritsugu?"

"Oh... Really, Mrs. Ellie, don't let people say a sentence three times. But there is no way."

Xingke sighed and said seriously:

"My sword will be with you, and my destiny will coexist with you."

Xingke didn't feel anything wrong with saying such an oath again. She never lied from beginning to end.

For the current Emiya Kiritsugu, the existence of Hoshikoku is a beam of light, the light of redemption.

"My weak Master, with my help, why do you still stubbornly think that you are the weak one?"

Hoshikatsu stretched out a hand to Emiya Kiritsugu, as if he wanted to shake his hand:

"With me on your side, I think you don't have to worry about failure."

But Emiya Kiritsugu just looked at Hoshiki's outstretched hand coldly, and after a moment of silence, he sneered:

"Oh, I thought you were going to say something, but you ended up showing off your great power?

Are you showing off your power that can’t even prevent me from being cursed by Caster?”

"Um...well..."

Xing Ke turned his head in embarrassment and said, "It won't happen next time. Why don't we come up with countermeasures together?"

"It is not an omnipotent power. Even so, do you still have to believe in your own power?"

Emiya Kiritsugu stared into Hoshikatsu's eyes and asked.

"No, if you ask me, my answer is that I believe in my power, but I also believe that"

At this time, Hoshikatsu came up with an answer that pleased Emiya Kiritsugu very much:

"[Only those who have survived are qualified to talk about whether it is correct or not, whether I believe it or not] Mr. Master, I think you are right."

"...Ha, it's your ambiguous attitude that makes people unable to believe you."

"Don't you even have the guts to bet one more time...to trust others again?" Hoshikaku in turn satirized Emiya Kiritsugu, saying: "I have been betrayed countless times by countless people, but I am still the same now.

Still trying to trust others."

"Do you really want to gain my trust?"

Emiya Kiritsugu, he finally understood what Hoshikatsu wanted.

Xingji finally smiled again and said with satisfaction:

"Of course. If I don't gain your trust, I will feel unworthy of myself when I fulfill your wish.

Therefore, you put your trust and I work hard to bring you victory and the Holy Grail. This is the equivalent contract I expect."

"A contract of equal value? Boring."

Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head and stood up, his voice revealing a considerable amount of anger.

"You actually want me to pin the fate of the world on a gamble on people's hearts? Do you want me to pin my ideals on you?!"

Emiya Kiritsugu asked the little girl in front of him, looking at her looking at him with her red eyes and smiling.

Then I recall her behavior all along

"Furthermore, the people I want to believe are still lazy, casual, willful little girls like you, who participated in the Holy Grail War with a playful attitude, and until now have never even spoken their true name out of their own mouth.

!?"

Suddenly, Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to understand something, and by some strange coincidence, he raised his hand again.

A crimson light flashed across the back of his hand, and the command spell disappeared with one stroke.

This time there was no one to stop his order.

"In the name of the Command Seal, tell me your true name! Saber!"

Hoshikaku watched with some surprise as Emiya Kiritsugu issued the order, and then a throbbing in his heart came from the contract of the Holy Grail.

That was not a forced order from the Holy Grail, but a single sentence from Illya: "That's enough, your little game is over."

"Okay, I went a little too far..."

Hoshikaku kept smiling, took a step back, and in the posture of a swordsman, gave a slight mage salute to Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel. His smiling voice remained unchanged:

"My real name is Gisfogo Illyasviel Cavendish, you can also call me Star.
