Crown Dead

Ai Li looked at the black-haired boy who was still howling just now, wandering on the verge of life and death, maybe she had achieved her goal, or maybe it was because she roughly knew his character and thoughts.After the crazy filter in his eyes before was removed, the black-haired boy actually did not do anything to hurt Kiritsugu and Illya in the true sense from the beginning to the end.

He's only here for his own heart—the Lesser Grail.Moreover, according to what he said, in order not to let himself die like this, the black-haired youth even went out of his way to find something that could completely replace the heart of an artificial human.

Do ordinary people care about the life and death of artificial humans?Would you deliberately look for a substitute for your heart in order to keep yourself alive?

"Ha, ha... Damn, this thing has quite a lot of stamina. It feels like it's almost turning into a light energy messenger changing magic,"

While panting heavily, Xian Yu roughly wrapped the bandage around the wound on his chest.Before the lesser Holy Grail was completely bound to his own existence, Xianyu had to suffer from a shattered sternum and massive internal bleeding.After all, Xian Yu doesn't want Ai Li's heart to pop out again after he burps accidentally: "BUT IT REFUSE"

"Although I have taken out the Little Holy Grail, it's just that the reserve of magic power has decreased for you. There will be no change in the schedule and life. You are still you, Illya's only mother."

Xian Yu leaned against the wall covered with sticky blood and reluctantly stood up and walked out of the house.The running-in of one's own body and the Little Holy Grail can be slowly adapted on the road.But he couldn't reach Fuyuki City all at once.After all, there is another place waiting for him.

"Wait a minute, since you know that the container of the Lesser Holy Grail will eventually... lose its personality in the Holy Grail War, why do you want to forcibly fuse the Holy Grail into your body?"

Aili asked Xianyu hesitantly, but the latter just froze for a moment before continuing to walk outside.

"Just wanted to witness an IF circuit. And as I said, the Lesser Grail is very necessary to me."

"As for other topics—see you in the Holy Grail War. I look forward to your 'revenge'."

Ai Li just watched that figure disappear from her vision, and when Ai Li put away her tense nerves, she also passed out immediately.

In a coma, Ai Li had a long-lost dream.It's not the nightmare of dreaming that you have become a cup and 7 souls are forcibly poured into it like before.It was an unusually real dream. In the dream, Eri was driving a sports car, and Kiritsugu was sleeping in the co-pilot, while Illya was playing happily in the back seat.

Eri didn't know where her destination was, but after she saw Emiya Kiritsugu and Illya who had been by her side all the time, she suddenly felt that it was no big deal even if she didn't have a purpose.

My most cherished family members are all gathered around me, that's enough.

Then Ai Li was stopped by the police because of speeding in her dream, and was taken to interrogate because she was involved in falsified ID card age. Emiya Kiritsugu was executed on the spot.

Xianyu hid far away on the tree, watching Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel and Illya tightly hugging each other in the distance.

— That's great, family.

His behavior should have indeed changed something.

Xian Yu can't stay here any longer, after all there is another station waiting for him.

"Finally going to Fuyuki..."

Chapter 13. Make a deal

The weather is sunny, blue sky and white clouds.The warm breeze blows on Xianyu's face, in stark contrast to himself who was frozen like a fool a few days ago.

Xian Yu will never forget, when he was waiting for his flight in the terminal hall of Frankfurt Airport wearing a black coat, white shirt and black trousers, the eyes of local people wearing cotton clothes of various colors looked at him.It's like a polar bear saw a shirtless carp basking in the sun during his vacation in the Antarctic: "What's the matter with you, little brother?"

However, the painful memory is over. Xianyu has survived the German punk at -150° below zero, and is now bathing in the warm sunshine of Fuyuki, Japan with all his body and mind.Against the background that the people around were only wearing ordinary long-sleeved clothes, Xian Yu's attire did not seem obtrusive.

"Sure enough, this kind of weather suits me..."

Xian Yu was lying in a corner of the park, occupying a bench in a very rude way.

"Big brother, big brother, the dried fish should be dried on the roof, it won't work if you lie on it."

……

It's just the little kids who come and go here, each one needs to be beaten more and more.

"I know, I know! It's annoying to me, you have to worry about me lying in a corner like this."

Xian Yu rubbed his head and got up impatiently, the children around him immediately dispersed.

If it weren't for this group of brats who knew how to call me brother, I would have been so short-tempered long ago!

A black and white sphere hit the back of Xian Yu's head impartially. Although the force was not strong, it just hit Xian Yu's whole body forward.

boom--!

Xian Yu ate a mouthful of ashes while maintaining his head-grabbing posture.

"Bah, bah, bah... the kids nowadays really deserve to be beaten up, don't you think so, this hooded boy?"

Xian Yu spat out the dust in his mouth, and while kicking the football back where it came from, he walked up to the man sitting in the shadow not far away to talk to him.

"..."

The man in the hood didn't care about it, but his whole body was full of "stay away from me".

"It seems that you are also a social phobia."

Xian Yu didn't pay attention to the stranger's aura exuding from the man, instead sat beside him, and continued to chat with him one-sidedly.

"The weather is so good, I believe it's a rare time for you and me to rest. So there's no need to be secretive, Matou Kariya."

"—!"

The man in the hood visibly trembled, and he was ready to fight.

"Hey, hey, he really is an amateur magician, are you going to play in such a crowded place?"

"……what are you going to do."

The hooded man—Matou Kariya asked Xianyu in a cold voice.

A few months ago, he would not have been so cautious about things like "others calling his name", but various sudden changes made him have to keep a distance from everyone.
