When the miracle of saving the world must be based on the sacrifice of a girl, Emiya Kiritsugu chose to stick to his own path. Because he knew from the beginning that his dream was based on the sacrifice of Irisviel.

Up……

The first time Emiya Kiritsugu saw Irisviel was in the incubation warehouse. The girl floating in the liquid in the form of a newborn had an inhuman beauty and was a man-made object without mechanism. This was the "little girl"

Holy Grail".

The meaning of her existence lies in the magic circuit in her body. The humanoid appearance is the icing on the cake. A humanoid interactive interface is designed to be more portable... Ahad said it very clearly.

Emiya Kiritsugu clearly knew, clearly knew...

But he himself didn't know why he would teach a doll as a real human being, and even make her have human emotions, creating this "unnecessary" situation.

This will be the final obstacle on his way to obtain the Holy Grail

"Since you know, you shouldn't stop me. This was decided from the beginning. Ellie was born as the Little Holy Grail. When the Little Holy Grail comes into play, she will cease to exist. I thought there was no such thing as this.

What’s the right question?”

Emiya Kiritsugu had no expression on his face. He took a deep breath of tobacco and said:

"Or what? As you from the future, is there any way you can help Ellie come back intact after completing her mission?"

"No, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it." Xingke answered honestly without thinking.

The setting in this regard seems to be absolute. Irisviel is the Lesser Holy Grail. No matter how powerful she is, as long as she is connected to the Great Holy Grail and the source, there is no way for her to maintain her ego.

Except for the star, even Illya was tortured by a small defective root vortex, let alone Mrs. Ellie whose magic skills were not as good as her own daughter.

"but……"

"But what?" Emiya Kiritsugu interrupted Hoshikaku:

"Is there still time for Einzbern to prepare a replacement and replace Ellie with someone else? Should we delay it until the last moment and wait for a miracle to happen? Or do we have to use your special strength to solve the problem again? I'm sorry.

, this is not a problem that can be solved by force. Please get out of the way."

"You... think I have no way to solve this matter?" Xingke frowned, looking at Emiya who looked like he had to stick to his point of view even if he turned his heart into a devil.

"Why do you think I came to this world?"

Sure enough, Xingke was still reluctant to talk to such a self-righteous hard worker.

They have always lived in their own world, believing that they can solve everything. They work silently alone and treat others as tools that can be used. They never expect a magician to fall from the sky to help them solve all problems. They never believe in fairy tales.

story……

Sure enough, the same race hates it?

"Are you trying to say that you came here from the future just to prevent Ellie from performing the Holy Grail ceremony? In other words... are the things you said before about supporting my ideals and the like all lies to achieve your goal?"

Ah... so disgusting, such a delusional guy. He breathed a sigh of relief with such an expression. Maybe it was because [Xing Ke lied to him, then he didn't need to be polite to Xing Ke.

】some type of.

Although this kind of character is usually very interesting to tease, but at this time I really don’t want you to maintain your ability to think. It’s so troublesome... Xing Ke is really annoyed right now.

so……

"No, I have never lied to you." Hoshikatsu faced Emiya Kiritsugu's suspicion after a brief period of trust with a very tolerant smile:

"And I didn't come to this world [to prevent Lady Ellie from performing the Holy Grail Ceremony]."

I came to this world to help Illya realize her wish. Illya has the final say on what I do. Xingke said that he has no active will.

However, although Hoshikatsu followed Emiya Kiritsugu's will and denied his purpose of suspicion, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly lost a lot.

The vague hope on Mrs. Airi's face turned into a self-deprecating smile. Perhaps Maiya gritted her teeth even harder after knowing the truth. Even Emiya Kiritsugu's own hostility towards Hoshikatsu rose to its peak...

Because compared to known conflicts, unknown mysteries make people more alert and uneasy.

"But I hope you will listen to me first and put aside the Holy Grail ceremony for the time being. It can be one day, two days or three days. After all, today is the fourth day of the Holy Grail War, isn't it?"

"Huh..." "Why? Why should I listen to you? Do you want others to listen to your opinion without saying anything?"

"So let's sit down now and use language, the most beautiful creation of mankind, to convince each other! I will definitely tell you everything you want to know, so please come and ask me questions!~"

Xingke opened his arms and spoke frankly. He seemed to accept all challenges, but what he thought in his heart was that it would be best to postpone the time until tonight.

After all, what can he say now? Tell Emiya Kiritsugu honestly, "I can grant all your wishes, so you don't need to hold a Holy Grail ceremony at all. As long as you kill the last golden sparkle, I will activate the Great Holy Grail for you."

】?

Or do you want to tell him "You don't have to sacrifice anything, you can gain everything, because your daughter is now a great person who surpasses the monarch, true ancestor, magician and even restraint"?

No one would say that unless Hoshikatsu. Because Hoshikatsu felt that if Emiya Kiritsugu was allowed to obtain a miracle in such a meaningless way, it would be an insult to the two girls Irisviel and Illyafel.

.

Why is Irisviel persisting until now? What is Illya worried about?

Anyway, it is definitely not because Hoshikatsu personally hates Emiya Kiritsugu, whose mental endurance has reached its limit and has begun to become hysterical... Although he is so panicked, it is just because Hoshikatsu's treatment method is a bit too exciting.

However, even so, Hoshikatsu still stood in front of Emiya Kiritsugu, put one hand on his chest and said:

"I, Gisfogo Iliasphiel Cavendish, now use my own opinions, which are very willful and unreasonable, to prevent you from pushing Lady Ellie to the altar before a certain moment comes.

"

Yes, this time, only this time misalignment allowed Illya to appear at the time Xingke wanted, which was the result of Xingke's active choice.

In the end, Emiya Kiritsugu stroked the Command Seal on his arm and hesitated for a long time before giving in.

Maybe he really isn't that confident in the Command Seals anymore? After all, Seiko heard Irisviel's intelligence report to Gaia about her transformation into a "Star Seal Dragon" to Emiya Kiritsugu.

Physically, it is impossible for anyone to see a body as big as Hoshiki without being shaken.

So, just as Xingke said, they really started to sit down and talk.

It's still the same conference hall, and it's still the same people, but this time, Xingji has no partners.

Lady Airi has long said that she will unconditionally support Emiya Kiritsugu in realizing his ideals, so if necessary, she will take the initiative to stand on the altar of the ceremony. This is the only thing she can do for Emiya Kiritsugu.

Something happened...so she thought she was no longer Xingke's partner, and she seemed to still feel guilty in her heart.

Really, everyone in this family is like this.

"Then first, let me hear your reasons..."

Emiya Kiritsugu once again made up his mind in his heart that he would not be shaken by Hoshikatsu's answer, and then asked:

"Why are you doing this?"

"In order to reconnect the broken history, and also to allow myself to be born smoothly." Xingke answered neatly.

"...What exactly happened?" To Emiya Kiritsugu, these words were equivalent to saying nothing.

"In other words, if I don't do anything, there is a high chance that my mother will not meet my father and I will not be born."

This is still not a lie, because in the history that Xingke knows, Illya's parents were still alive when he was a child. Illya is also the key to the birth of his current body. It would be bad if something happened. As for "very

Xingji doesn't know what the probability is for "high probability".

"Well, that's it, but you can't know the specific situation. If you ask, you will destroy history."

Xing Ke very shamelessly left out the details.

"Haha, this is really a crude reason... I thought you were going to say something, but it turns out that this is the case, and you are only fighting for yourself."

Now Emiya Kiritsugu is extremely hostile to Hoshikatsu, because Hoshikatsu betrayed him after all, and Hoshikatsu did not help him because he agreed with his ideals.

"But I didn't lie? I do agree with your ideal, and I will not stop your ideal. What I want is to help you win the Holy Grail at the right time and at the right place, and just make a wish.

Already."

This is true. As long as the time and place are right, the process was certainly done by Xingke and Illya, and the focus of the words is "you" rather than "you".

However, such a statement led Emiya Kiritsugu's consciousness to the issue of "The purpose of the Star Cake may not be to change the result of getting the Holy Grail, but to change the process of getting the Holy Grail."

Then the focus is

"As for any wish you make, I don't care too much. Anyway, if the wish you make is not what I want, I will go back to the past again, be summoned by you, and participate in the Holy Grail War again.

…If you try a few more times, you will always succeed.”

Yes, Xingke doesn't care if he can't solve the problem this time, or he'll have to do it again.

However, the "astonishing" fact that appeared here suddenly attracted Emiya Kiritsugu's attention, diverting his attention away from the matter of anxiously summoning the Holy Grail and confirming his victory.

Everyone present shrank their pupils and looked at the stars in surprise.

And the guard Miya Kiritsugu finally asked the first question that had nothing to do with the Holy Grail War:

"How many times have you... been reincarnated so far?"

"Hehehe... keep it secret."

It might be 15532 times, or it might be 0 times. Xing Ji paused appropriately and eased the atmosphere and said:

"It's just that you need to know that I have actually known you, Mrs. Airi, Miss Maiya, and even everyone else you have met or not met who is related to the Holy Grail War.

Otherwise, do you really think that I can really learn such detailed information about my opponent just by relying on the historical records left in the future?"

That is of course impossible, because Xing Ke also specifically checked the "Setting Collection", but it may be that there are many memory errors because of the long history.
To be continued...
