I broke up with Merlin [Comprehensive]

——A master with unknown true intentions found Irisviel and Saber, and is still staying with them.

Hearing this news from his wife, that is, Irisviel, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately hung up the phone, and hurried to the hotel his wife mentioned.

Emiya Kiritsugu no longer had the heart to ask Eri why she was so careless.

Although Saber was present, it is said that the master did not bring his servants, but if the other party has hidden scheming, there will be uncontrollable accidents.

And Emiya Kiritsugu, who had made a precise arrangement and would use all means to obtain the Holy Grail, never wanted "accidents" to happen.

On the way to come at the fastest speed, the man's expression is still calm, but in his heart, he is constantly calculating, guessing, outlining all the situations that may be faced later, and making a decision to solve the problem at the first time scheme.

He himself naturally wears a magic dress specially designed for magicians, and his assistants will monitor this side at any time on the roof of a distant building, and if he finds an opportunity, he can kill that unknown master with one blow——

That's right.

The master of the Saber group, Emiya Kiritsugu, is such a decisive and ruthless man.

Without hesitation at all, he made the decision to cut grass and roots when he embarked on this journey.

Although the Holy Grail War has not yet begun, the previous cannibalism will not affect the final result. If a master is killed, the Holy Grail will choose a new master. The only ones who will be affected are the unlucky ones who died.

The Master who was with Eri seemed to have something to do with the Saber he summoned, and had such a deep influence on Saber.

Emiya Kiritsugu would rather let the Holy Grail choose another opponent whose identity is unknown, rather than leaving troubles behind, and then he would have to be distracted to guard against the selfishness of the servant.

Soon, he reached his destination.

The surface is calm, but under the illusion of stability and peace, murderous intentions are hidden...

——However, I never expected it.

"..."

"..."

The man in the windbreaker who entered the door looked up and saw the scene inside the room, and unexpectedly—— was silent for a long while.

"What are you doing?"

he asks.

As expected of a magician killer who doesn't take the usual route, when encountering such a strange scene, his expression didn't change significantly, and his voice also tended to be stable.But what is in his heart, only he knows.

"Ah, Kiritsugu, you are here. It just so happens, eat this, I made it myself."

It was his wife's surprised and joyful voice.

"Well, master."

This was his follower's voice, which was colder than normal due to the difficulty in making it.

This is how it is at present.

Emiya Kiritsugu came to a certain room on the fifth floor of the hotel with a hint of murderous intent, but at this moment he stopped at the door of the room, looking at everything in the room with an expressionless face.

This guest room is a high-end guest room with a kitchen, so Emiya Kiritsugu's wife Irisviel had just come out of the kitchen when he opened the door.

The woman wore an apron around her waist, and she was holding a tray full of small biscuits with her hands in thick gloves, as if she was going to put the biscuits on the dining table outside.

After the dinner table that was obviously moved out temporarily, two people had been waiting for a long time.

One of them was a little girl of four or five years old.With purple hair and big purple eyes, there was a bit of empty confusion at the moment, she was obviously the same as Emiya Kiritsugu who had just arrived, she hadn't figured out the situation yet.

And the other, from actions to expressions to eyes, showed an extremely positive person—coincidentally, isn't that Saber himself?

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ignore the murmurs of overstuffed mouths.Directly translated, the King of Knights highly appreciated Mrs. Allie's delicious dessert, which was a one-time success in the first actual operation.

However, before Irisviel accepted the "teacher"'s instruction and tried to bake the first batch of biscuits, the King of Knights had already cleaned up most of the food that the "teacher" had prepared first.

The other half, uh, the little girl doesn't have a big appetite, so she can only eat a little bit.

So, to sum up, Wang Lai can only take on the heavy responsibility of not wasting food...

……Um.

Saber actually felt guilty.

The petite girl knight worked hard to solve Sakura's burden, while falling into deep introspection.

Originally, it should not have developed to this point.

First of all, she is a servant, and she can act as usual with the supply of magic power, and she should not be obsessed with appetite.

Secondly, she is a guard, so it is good to do well what the master entrusts, and she should not put too much of her personal emotions in the process of the task, and do unnecessary things.

And, continue to reflect deeply.She shouldn't have uncontrollably shown nostalgic and longing expressions beside her when her younger brother said that she was going to cook something for Sakura who seemed hungry.

In the end, the biscuits were obviously made for a little girl, but in the end, she ate them all by herself. She ate the most and couldn't stop—damn it!

Arturia didn't want to eat so much at first.

But she was quite depressed at this time. Ever since she heard something that Cyril accidentally leaked, she began to feel depressed, and she could only vent out by eating for a while.

Emiya Kiritsugu: "..."

His expression was still tense, but the corners of his eyes still twitched involuntarily.

Fortunately, the central figure who caused all this came out of the small kitchen a step behind Irisviel.

As soon as he appeared, he met the eyes of the man in black who turned his gaze at the first time.

"Ah, hello."

This daring and strange magician greeted him very naturally, without seeming unfamiliar at all.

"You are Ms. Irisviel's husband, Mr. Emiya, right? The first time we met, I was able to reunite with my second sister here. It is thanks to you. Thank you very much."

The blond young man came over with a friendly and warm smile on his lips.

He was the first to extend his hand, like the etiquette of ordinary people when meeting each other, as if he wanted to shake hands with Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya Kiritsugu had no intention of cooperating with him.

The face of the man in black was as stern as an unchanging sculpture, his sharp eyes like a knife's light moved forward, stagnated and raised straight up, and at this time was still hanging in the air on the back of the hand of the blond youth who hadn't put it down.

The back of the magician's left hand is the fixed position where the Command Spell pattern will definitely appear.Unless it is directly covered with clothing or other coverings, the imprint of the command spell will not be hidden.

However, the blond youth was not shaded by anything.He was frank, as if he had nothing to hide at all.

Emiya Kiritsugu saw that the back of this slender and fair hand that was stretched openly in front of him was still white and clean.

No Command Spells.

The crimson mark representing the identity of the participants in the Holy Grail War has disappeared, as if it never existed in the first place.

However, that is impossible.

"I transferred the Command Seal to my sister." Cyril, the blond young man, saw what was going on in the silent man's mind, and smiled and told the truth.

"Since I don't plan to participate in the Holy Grail War, the Command Seals are useless to me, so I might as well give them some magic power to my sister. Emiya-san, you probably don't mind, do you?"

"...Of course I don't mind."

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at him with a calm expression, but he raised his arm that had not moved before, and shook hands with Cyril.

The crisis subsided silently in this grasp.

The man who came with murderous intentions had no intention of doing it again, and Cyril, who was almost in crisis, seemed unaware of this, and was extremely friendly to the "sister" master.

"The biscuits are ready, would you like some, Mr. Emiya?"

"This is not necessary."

"Haha, I'm really sorry for delaying Ms. Irisviel for so long because of my personal affairs. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."

If Emiya Kiritsugu hadn't come, he might have stayed for a while longer.But the man had already arrived here, and he took the opportunity to leave, but the other party unexpectedly did not stop him.

In this case, Cyril picked up the little girl Ma Tongying who looked very helpless, and Shi Shiran left.

……

After Cyril left.

Emiya Kiritsugu made a phone call, said "don't worry about him", and then hung up the phone.

During his call, Artoria left the dinner table, hearing that the master had planned to kill Cyril, her eyes changed slightly.

Although she didn't speak, her expression seemed a little stiff.

"Who is he?"

Emiya Kiritsugu asked.

Arturia told all about what happened tonight, everything she said was truthful and she did not hide anything.It's just that the tone is flat, and it's all business.

Listening to the narration, the man fell into deep thought.

If it is the younger brother of King Arthur, he is a character from thousands of years ago, how could he survive until now.

Abandoning the precious Command Seals and transferring them all to the enemy's followers is not something ordinary people can do.That youth is either a stupid idiot or a wise man with self-sufficiency.

If you want to know the answer, just look at Saber's appearance...

Emiya Kiritsugu raised his eyes and saw Saber's expression at this time.

She was still talking about it, but for some reason, her expression became more and more cold and hard, as if puzzled and helpless, as if annoyed and as if angry.What happened is indescribable.

Emiya Kiritsugu thought that Saber had a problem with him: "Saber, what are you thinking?"

Arturia: "It's nothing, master. By the way, I don't know if it has anything to do with the Holy Grail War. Anyway, my teacher, the flower magician Merlin, is also in Fuyuki City at this time."

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned: "Another uncertain factor. But, Saber, you—"

——Saber, your expression doesn't look like you want to see your teacher at all.

Compared with the blond young man just now, he looks completely different.

The former was delighted and relieved, while the latter... Gritted his teeth?

At first, Emiya Kiritsugu thought he was mistaken, but when he took a closer look, his servant was indeed gritting his teeth.

With a blank expression, he picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth—boom!

"what's wrong with you?"

"My condition is very good, there is no problem, the magic power is very abundant after being supplemented by the three command spells, and I can release the treasure to Teacher Merlin at any time—no, it is to the enemy, I made a slip of the tongue, sorry master."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "..."

He hasn't seen him for a day, and the servant who was normal when he was summoned has become like this. What's going on?

"Kiritsugu, Saber's younger brother, um." Alice Viel, who vaguely heard a little bit of inside information, whispered, "It seems that she was deceived by Saber's teacher... ah! There are no more biscuits, and Saber ate them all." !"

Emiya Kiritsugu: "???"

What inexplicable.

What a messy relationship!

*****

It's finally out.

Cyril looked at the sky where the moon was no longer visible, and was quite annoyed that he could not control the time well.

He underestimated the uncontrollable joy and excitement when the old man reunited, and he didn't expect that he accidentally slipped his mouth, which shocked and disappointed the second sister who had just met, and greatly——

After a long silence, he suddenly lost his temper.

Sister Arturia was extremely angry, and Cyril really didn't expect her to be so angry.

"When I was still concealing my identity and training, strange ladies often found Kai and me, asking us about the whereabouts of Teacher Meilin. They were all innocent people who were deceived by Teacher Meilin's rhetoric, but when they found them, Teacher, without exception, he ran away long ago."

"At that time, at that time, I didn't like the feeling of the teacher, but seeing that he seemed to have changed his mind and stopped entangled with the girls, I thought he had really changed his ways!"

"what!"

Arturia remembered.

"Isn't the period when Mr. Mei Lin changed his ways and returned to righteousness, the years when he offered to help me deliver the letter to you?"

"Wait, wait, sister, you misunderstood..."

"So... Teacher, you actually went to confront Cyril... I... I... Teacher Merlin! Merlin!!!"

I don't know (I thought) whether the angry denunciation made by Wang who had suddenly realized it made a certain magician under the same sky shudder.

In short, Arturia was really pissed off by this extremely bad behavior of the teacher.

When she didn't know anything, she didn't complain at all that the teacher left quietly when Britain was in crisis. On the contrary, she missed him very much and wondered if he was doing well.

However, the bad news came so suddenly that it not only stunned Wang, who had been running around for the restoration of the country, but also threw her thoughts back into the deep memories of the past.

Arturia immediately remembered Teacher Merlin's bad past.

Sweet talk, hooking up with women, being irresponsible, and running away... Such behavior is hard for the noble knight king to bear.

She thought that the teacher had turned from evil to righteousness, and she was still relieved at that time.

Knot!fruit!

not at all!

Evil teacher, he actually attacked Artoria's younger brother behind her back when she didn't realize it!

It's worth it.

Artoria absolutely cannot tolerate such behavior.

Even if Cyril is not her brother, he is still only the Duke of Cornwall.He has won the trust and respect of the king. Based on this alone, Arturia can't sit idly by and let the teacher insist on playing with the Duke's feelings.

In fact... there is indeed a big misunderstanding here.

However, if Merlin didn't have such a serious criminal record, causing the listener to immediately associate it, Artoria would never have such a big reaction.

It is concluded from this:

It's all Merlin's own fault.

All in all, Arturia could only vent her anger by eating biscuits unknowingly because she was extremely angry and couldn't immediately ask Teacher Merlin for an explanation.

Seeing how aggrieved she was, Cyril decided that everything was Merlin's fault. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't explain it in the end. He could only helplessly make dessert and feed it to his sister, trying to make her not be so angry.

...Then he underestimated sister Artoria's appetite.

Forget it, it's already out, so I won't talk about these little things.

Without the three command spells on the back of his hand, Cyril felt much more relaxed at this moment.

He is really not interested in the Holy Grail, and he doesn't want to participate in this war to fight his sister. It is naturally best to be able to get rid of trouble so easily.

However, Cyril was somewhat concerned about his sister's master.

That man probably won't be the one he gets along with.The compatibility between my sister and that person will not be very good. I don't know what will happen when such a pair is put together.

"Why is there no induction all of a sudden..."

He murmured to himself, with some doubts in his heart.

In the previous world, Cyril could see the future.

He had already seen the future of Uchiha Quanna and others when he first met them, so he could make a clever response.

But here, it was invisible.

Cyril originally thought that seeing the future was the ability he inherited from Sister Morgan, but looking at it this way, he couldn't be sure.

If only he could see, he was a little worried about what his sister was about to face.However, it doesn't matter if we don't have this opportunity to foresee the future. It seems that we still have to stay here for a few more days.

thought here.

"I'm sorry, Sakura, for the delay. Are you sleepy?"

"........."

Thin arms wrapped tightly around his neck, and the little girl who buried her face by his neck didn't speak for a long time.

From the first time I saw her, the child was empty.

No talking, no reaction to other people's actions, no fear, no resistance.Even after waking up from a coma, the purple-haired girl's eyes did not change when a strange adult tried to comfort her.

Cyril has also been watching her.

The girl came out of the bath and changed clothes, and then woke up from a coma.She only ate a little, and the rest of the time, she kept staring in the same direction in a daze.

It happened to be in the direction of Cyril.

Wherever he went, Sakura's eyes followed him.And because the eyes are really dull, the locked eyes are not so abrupt.

These details were not ignored by Cyril.

At first, he felt that there was something strange about Sakura's body, but when he thought of what happened to her, he couldn't bear to investigate carefully, and planned to wait until the daytime to talk about it.

however……

"Sakura."

"..."

"Do not be afraid."

Cyril moved his eyes slightly, staring at the top of the girl's head, "We're going back. Go to your Uncle Kariya, and nothing terrible will happen in the future."

He said seemingly ordinary words, and at the same time, he planned to step on the shadows under the dark clouds and go straight to the depths of the building complex with faintly flickering lights.

However, the moment he took this step.

"No...not going back..."

Sakura, who was shrinking in front of him, suddenly made a sound, the voice was very small, but she tightened her hands all of a sudden.

This sudden strength was astonishingly great, it was not at all like the strength a five-year-old girl could have, and it was almost suffocating.

And that's not the weirdest thing.Cyril was not frightened by the suffocation, his attention was still on Sakura, and in the next moment, he was shocked by the strangeness he finally found.

An extremely powerful and majestic force erupted from the little girl's thin body, centering on them, all the lights within at least a few hundred meters around were extinguished, and the sound of rumbling and breaking rang in my ears.

However, this shocking movement did not alarm anyone except Cyril.

"Well--"

When the crisis came, especially when he felt the sudden rush of energy with unfathomable dark and evil thoughts, like turbid water that was about to sink, Cyril's complexion suddenly changed, his body trembled slightly, and he clamored to stay away from the source of malice.

But the subconscious is the subconscious.

Until the last moment, the blond young man whose expression had changed forcibly restrained the urge to throw the little girl in his arms away, and still hugged her tightly.

Even for this, a drop of transparent sweat slipped down from the blond hair that covered his eyes, slowly dripped down his chin, and then, cold sweat poured down like a shower.

"You are not Sakura. Excuse me, who are you and why are you living in this child's body?"

Cyril only felt that what he was holding was a huge ice cube, and the cold air continuously drilled into his body, completely immersing his soul that had never been warmed in the cold pool, and all the bones in his body were shaking. His voice trembled slightly.

The person being questioned did not answer him, but then asked in that hollow voice that seemed to come from deep underground: "Big brother, are you happy?"

Cyril frowned slightly.

The center they are in has been cut off from the real world by light invisible to the naked eye.

He didn't speak, and was secretly looking for a way to get out, but the ethereal voice didn't stop, as if he was talking to himself: "Big brother, I saw your sister, right?"

"That's great... I'm really envious. Sakura is so envious of you. You can meet your sister without pain, and you won't feel pain all night long, and you can still be free... It's this happiness that makes me 'wake up'. "

'I'm so envious...so jealous...Sakura also wants to leave, and also wants to go home—no, I can't go back, I can't go back, I can't!cannot! "

Perhaps, the word "go home" is the key.

It was only now that Cyril realized what he had overlooked. It was not too late to say so.

If he wants to escape from this predicament, he has a way, so he won't just sit around and let this being who is Matou Sakura or not Matou Sakura be at the mercy of him.

But—let's call him stupid.

"Of course you can go back, but it's not Matou's house that you go back to, but a place that really cares about your presence."

"..."

As soon as the forced words sounded, the little girl who was hugging him tightly paused strangely.

"Big brother……"

"Why did you show up?"

"There is no need for big brother to show up, Sakura has obviously found a way to escape. As long as Uncle Kariya, father, and others die unchanged. So... why."

"Why don't you run away?"

Sakura raised her head, her eyes were too cloudy to reveal any light, reflecting the calm face of the blond youth.

Between the lines of the gloomy words, they all convey the same meaning: you meddle in your own business.

Cyril thought, he really didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen so quickly in a task that he thought was very simple.

About this question...

The corners of his lips moved, and after a while, he sighed softly.

"I really wanted to leave, but I changed my mind temporarily. Fortunately, you were exposed so early, you can't let it go. I want to know what happened to you."

……

"He's a stupid and naive big brother."

"Ok."

"Big brother, go experience it yourself, repeat Xiao Sakura's experience once, and you will know."

The next moment, the darkness swallowed up the remaining light on the young man's face, as if the world was turned upside down in an instant.

Consciousness disconnected for a moment, and soon, he waited until he woke up.

"...!"

Cyril woke up with a start.

Before he could open his eyes in the future, there was a cold but extremely slippery touch crawling across his cheeks.

Then, the whole body is climbing!

are bugs.

At some point, he was trapped in the wormhole.

Rustle, rustle, tear—

The crisp sound of the cloth being torn.

Where it can be seen, where it cannot be seen, the insect's sharp claws tore his clothes, scratched his soft skin, trying to penetrate deeper into his body.

Countless black shadows filled the huge space, greedily engulfing his figure.
