Longevity Story

[Well, Illya, don't embarrass him, his self-esteem does not allow him to maintain his own will now. 】The star carving is really unbearable.

"Humph - he just doesn't eat toast, he eats fine wine!"

Illya still didn't want to let Gilgamesh go. After all, he was always called "Miscellaneous", and everyone would be upset except for some shaking M.

Immediately, Illya raised the arm full of Command Spells and said:

"In the name of the Command Spell! Gilgamesh! Go out on the street and do the stupidest dance!"

Obviously, Gilgamesh couldn't break free from the control of the Command Spell at all, his figure immediately dispersed into a spot of light and disappeared in place, presumably the next moment will appear in the center of Fuyuki City Avenue and start dancing happily?

No, no one will play music for him, Gilgamesh will definitely dance a dance without BGM, even if it may be stiff like a crappy puppet, but he will definitely dance, definitely...

"So, Guise, do you want to see it?"

[No, I don't want to. 】 Xing Ke decisively refused.

She didn't want to watch a big man dance a weird puppet dance.

"Well... that's fine, I don't want to watch it either." Illya thought about it for a while, but also had no plans to go to the theater.

Then why did you give such a tricky order... In the end, Xing Ke did not ask the question.If you have to get to the bottom of this kind of casual behavior, you will definitely be hated when you are alive.

"Guise, no, Mr. Jisforgo, it's really unpredictable, I didn't think we'd be enemies the next time we met."

Ilya sat gracefully on the chair, quietly listening to the honking of the car horn outside, waiting for her servant to return, while looking forward to the arrival of this night.

[That's right, Miss Ilyasviel.Trust me, as Saber, I will definitely beat your Arter to the bottom of it...]

-----

In the outskirts of Fuyuki City, in the temporarily restored Einzbern Castle, the star carved by the fireplace looked strange.

The firelight shone on the side face of the "girl" who wanted to laugh but couldn't smile, but seemed to be looking forward to something, and Irisviel felt a chill down her spine... It was obvious that the flames in the fireplace were very strong.

"That...Little Saber, are you okay?" Irisviel felt that she still had to worry about her partner for the time being, even though she was a mess.

But strong people don't necessarily get sick, right?After all, some super powerful being has died of heart disease several times.

"Huh?—Well, I'm fine, really." Seeing Irisviel asking, Xing Ke quickly restrained his careless expression due to his peaceful life, and replied with a smile.

"By the way, has Mr. Kiritsugu got any news yet?"

Then changing the topic is also a way to get through.

"Well, no, since I reported to him last night that you killed Rider, he hasn't replied... I'm a little worried." Irisviel's words were full of worry.

However, Xing Ke looked at Irisviel huddled between the blanket and the reclining chair, holding a certain classic to pass the time in her hand, next to the fireplace, a serene and leisurely look... In other words, you are really there Are you worried about your husband?

Perhaps seeing Xing Ke's suspicion, Irisviel smiled lightly and said:

"Well, but that's what I said. In fact, I know it too. That person doesn't need me to worry at all."

With a look of memory, Irisviel closed the lives of others in her hands, thinking of her own life, especially the most important person in her life:

"Although you may know little Saber, let me say one more thing, Kiritsugu, that person gave me the meaning of [living], and my life really started when I met him.

It was he who taught me a lot of things, and it was he who made me have a lot of things, and made me truly become an independent [me]..."

"So, I understand, that person doesn't need to worry about me, that person can do everything by himself, even if I die and Miss Maiya is not by his side, he will still move forward without stopping. step."

This is a cruel prophecy because it is true.Xing Ke was still listening with a smile on his face.

"But, I think I should still worry about Kiritsugu!

Otherwise, if there is no one who is worried about him and looks forward to his return among the people who are fighting abroad, wouldn't it be too miserable? "

777. When the miracle of saving the world must be built on the sacrifice of a young girl...

"...If no one is worried about him and looking forward to his return, wouldn't it be too miserable?"

As expected, Irisviel's heart was already filled by this man, Emiya Kiritsugu.

But I don't know why, seeing her smiling like this and saying such words, Xing Ke's heart is also a little hot.

Maybe, at this moment, Xing Ke can understand what kind of mood Illya is in.

"Ah, that... I'm sorry, I'm talking to myself, this kind of unclear topic, little Saber, you don't really understand it, right?" Irisviel quickly explained that there was no reply from Xingke, and she blushed a little. :

"By the way, because of little Saber's efforts, this Holy Grail War was unexpectedly easy. Until now, apart from an archer who lost his master, there have long been no enemies. Kiritsugu still has two Command Spells. I can summon you, there is no danger that can threaten him for a long time..."

"Okay, that's right—Mrs. Ellie, please stop for a while. I know you just said something shy, so you can only say a lot of words to cover up, but you really don't need to do this, I I won't laugh at you." Xing Ke hurriedly waved his hand to stop Mrs. Ellie's shame-covering behavior.

Although it is indeed very cute, but who is Irisviel who is usually like a gentle lady, and who becomes a chatter when she gets nervous?

Xing Ke had to sigh in his heart the greatness of "hereditary" people.

"No, it's not like that...I..." Irisviel still couldn't take back what she said.

In other words, the androids are always adjusted to the appropriate age in the training warehouse when they are born, just like Xing Ke himself, he is still less than half a year old.

Irisviel was also born to be a girl in order to cooperate with Emiya Kiritsugu to have a child. It took a while to cultivate feelings... But even so, Emiya Kiritsugu is really a beast.

Speaking of Illya's mother, Irisviel is not yet ten years old... illegal.

With a sigh, Xing Ke patted Irisviel's shoulder in order to express her blessings in the eyes of Irisviel.

But it was at this moment that Irisviel's eyes suddenly lit up.

"There is movement in the barrier, Kiritsugu and the others are back!"

Irisviel hurriedly put away her books and blankets, put on her coat and prepared to go out to welcome her husband's return, even if his husband was still with his secretary.

But Xing Ke grabbed a corner of her clothes and stopped her pace.Amidst Irisviel's puzzled look, she asked with a smile:

"Mrs. Ellie, if I get into a fight with Mr. Kiritsugu, who will you help?"

Irisviel froze for a moment, then smiled relievedly:

"No. With me here, I won't let you fight."

Saying that, Irisviel put on a white coat, put on her hat, and walked towards the door.The Einzbern Castle, which only repaired one room, now even the corridors are leaking...

"Then, if Illya and Kiritsugu-san get into a fight, who will you help——Ah, how can I ask such a question, I'm not a ghost..."

Xing Ke complained to himself, and followed Irisviel to remove the door.

----

Seeing Emiya Kiritsugu this time, he was a lot more haggard.

Not to mention the dark circles under his eyes, the main reason is that his beard grows very unevenly, and he doesn't say shaving it with a saber.

It's just that people are like this when they are middle-aged. No matter overnight, the beard will always appear on time - I'm sorry, Xing Ke has not experienced this feeling, he is still young.

However, aside from the appearance, the atmosphere on Emiya Kiritsugu's body is indeed even more piercing, as if he is just like a soldier who has just come down from the battlefield, there is no sense that he is about to obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill his long-cherished wish. .

On the contrary, it seems that the most difficult battlefield in life is about to be ushered in.

"Eli, you come with me. Saber, you are waiting here with Maiya."

Those were the first words Emiya Kiritsugu said after his return, the first words he said to his wife who had come to greet him from the warm fireplace.

...it's really too much.

"Don't let it go, until the Holy Grail comes, don't know what's going to happen."

Seeing that Irisviel was also stunned, Emiya Kiritsugu continued, saying that he wanted to explain.

"Yup……"

That's right, although it seems that the victory is in hand now, but the war is not over yet... Irisviel suddenly returned to the cold reality.

"Let's go."

As Emiya Kiritsugu said that, he prepared to take Irisviel out.

"Wait a minute." Xing Ke said.

But Emiya Kiritsugu did not stop and continued to move forward.

"Mr. Master, I'll ask you to wait..."

A sword mark appeared at Emiya Kiritsugu's feet.

"...Didn't you hear that?"

Emiya Kiritsugu finally stopped.He first stopped Irisviel, who wanted to come up to persuade him, and Maiya, who wanted to draw a gun, and then he was silent for a while, and said calmly:

"Well, Saber, what do you want to say? I'm listening. As a Servant's request, I still have to try my best to satisfy it."

"Qi... You are still emphasizing what Master and Servant are you. Does it make you so uneasy without the guarantee of the Command Spell?"

Xing Ke sighed lightly, put away the long sword, and returned to his original lazy appearance:

"Or, I put too much pressure on you, you can't even confirm the death of the last enemy, so you have to summon the potentially incomplete Great Holy Grail?"

The air of silence suddenly descended between the four of them.

After a while, Emiya Kiritsugu reached into his arms, took out a cigarette, lit one, put it in his mouth, and said slowly:

"Sure enough, did you know? The truth of the Holy Grail."

"It's said that I came from the future. How dimly do you have hope that you think I don't know about this matter?" Xing Ke's merciless irony did not give Emiya Kiritsugu anything. shake.

He was really ready to take Irisviel to Liudong Temple with the attitude of giving it a try just now, and he had prepared everything needed for the ceremony wherever he was.

The only remaining enemy can use the Command Spell to rush over to Xing Ke whenever it strikes, and there is no need to look for it.As long as he senses the coming of the Great Holy Grail, he will definitely approach by himself.

However, this is also a plan based on the premise that Xing Ke does not know the truth of the Holy Grail.

Because Emiya Kiritsugu understood that if Seika knew that the carrier of the Holy Grail was Irisviel herself, and if he knew that the miracle would be based on Irisviel's sacrifice, nothing would be wrong. So smooth...

778. In order to stop the endless Fourth Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu tried his best...

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

The first time Emiya Kiritsugu met Irisviel was in the training warehouse.The girl floating in the liquid in the form of a newborn has an inhuman beauty, an artificial thing without mechanism, this is the "Little Holy Grail".

The meaning of her existence lies in the magic circuit in her body, and the humanoid appearance is the icing on the cake. For a humanoid interface that is more convenient to carry... Ahad said it very clearly.
