When the Sand Sculpture Trial Comes to Yokohama

Although Minan Rinka asked Hassan Sabah to copy the magic formation of Kenneth's magic workshop and drew it near the Tohsaka mansion as it is, but after all, the genuine magic workshop not only has formations, but also provides magic power operation The magical furnace, the evil spirits trapped in it, etc.The one drawn at the Tohsaka mansion is just a simplified version, without even the magic furnace that keeps it running, and it is estimated that it will be broken by the Archer team soon.

Emiya Kiritsugu got down from the tree, and said to Hisau Maiya: "The target is alerted, retreat now."

After returning without success that night, the two had to go all the way back to the castle of Einzbern.

The crystal chandelier shone brightly, and Saber was waiting in the castle, protecting Irisfie at the same time.When Emiya Kiritsugu walked into the room, his wife was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Irisviel's skin was already fair, but now it is even more bloodless.With silver hair tangled on the pillow and pale lips, now she is lying on the bed like a light and fluttering leaf.

Emiya Kiritsugu gently sat down beside the bed, trying to tuck the corners of the quilt for his wife.But just as his hand touched the quilt, he was stunned by something exposed under the quilt.

It was an antique necklace box in the shape of a heart, and the lid was opened to reveal a small photo of their daughter, Illya.

……

When Irisviel woke up from her dream, the sky outside the window was still pitch black.

She rolled her eyes slightly, and found that her husband was sitting by the bed, holding the necklace box that she had carefully hidden in his hand.

Irisviel was both surprised and ashamed.The surprise is that it is the most active night of the Holy Grail War, but Emiya Kiritsugu did not stay outside to work as planned, but sat by her bed; the shame is that she had told him before departure that she would do her best. Fully support his ideal, but now he caught her secretly looking at her daughter's photo.

"Kiritsugu..." Irisviel stood up, just about to take the necklace box back from his hand, but Emiya Kiritsugu held her hand unexpectedly.

"Aili, let's take Illya and run away." He squeezed his wife's hand tightly, and uttered words that were beyond her expectation.

***

In Honmaru, the mobile phone Hakata Toshiro used to receive the commission from the sword firm rang with a crisp ringtone.Xiao Diandao picked up the phone and was about to connect, but stopped after glancing at the area code.

"This is..." He pushed his glasses, his voice couldn't hide the excitement at the moment, "The area code of Fuyuki City!"

All of a sudden, Awataguchi swordsmen who were doing their own business surrounded them.Under the earnest eyes of his brothers, Hakata Toshiro took a deep breath and connected the call from the first Fuyuki City client.

"Hello, the sword office is at your service! What is your commission?" Hakata Toshiro asked enthusiastically.

A somewhat familiar voice came out of the phone: "I'm Emiya Kiritsugu, the master of Saber. I found the phone number from the business card you gave me that night, and decided to entrust you to do something."

An entrustment from your counterpart?Hakata Fujishiro was stunned for a moment, and said tactfully, "I have to consult my lord before I can decide on this matter."

……

"Emiya Kiritsugu entrusted us to work?" Minan Rinka was taken aback, "Take it, why don't you take it?"

At that moment, Minan Rinka arrived in Fuyuki City with a teleportation compass.She felt that she ran back and forth between Honmaru, Yokohama and Fuyuki every day, like a hardworking bee gathering honey everywhere.

The sword office has not yet found a fixed office in Fuyuki City, so the meeting place is arranged in the castle of Einzbern.

When Minan Rinka arrived, Emiya Kiritsugu had already been waiting for a long time at the end of the long dining table in the reception room of the castle.Uncommonly, he did not display any weapons, nor did he let his assistants or servants stay by his side, but sat there quietly by himself, staring at Minan Rinhua with his dark eyes.

After Minan Rinhua sat down, he said straight to the point: "I decided to destroy the Holy Grail."

This sudden change of attitude made it impossible to answer.Minan Rinhua was silent for a moment, then tentatively said: "Die, penguin meat?"

[System prompt: Emiya Kiritsugu's palpitation value +99]

"Speak in human terms." Emiya Kiritsugu said.

"I need to know the reason." Minan Rinhua said.

Emiya Kiritsugu let out a long breath.

"You're right. No one can guarantee the effect of the Holy Grail." He put one hand in his pocket, clutching the necklace case tightly, "Whether the Holy Grail can't really fulfill your wish like you guessed, or let others If a person obtains the Holy Grail and makes a wish that should not be granted, the consequences may be disastrous. Instead of doing this, it is better to destroy the Holy Grail."

"The Holy Grail is buried in the underground cavity below Liudong Temple. It is a huge magic circle. I know the way to destroy the Holy Grail. I can try to seal the huge cavity and the spiritual veins below, but I need protection."

Emiya Kiritsugu said, "To tell you the truth, my wife Eri and daughter Illya are both man-made small Holy Grails to ensure the smooth emergence of the Holy Grail. This also means that as long as this Holy Grail War goes to the end, regardless of victory No matter who it is, Erido will die. And if there is a Holy Grail War next time, the person who becomes the man-made Lesser Holy Grail is very likely to be my daughter Illya, or Illya's descendants."

Minan Rinhua was stunned: "You always knew that you had to sacrifice your wife and daughter in order to win? Then you still come to the competition?"

Emiya Kiritsugu was silent.He couldn't refute, because he and his wife and daughter were just tool people prepared by the Einzbern family to win the Holy Grail War.

Minan Rinka continued: "Think about it carefully, if you are really tool people, then you have won. Why can the good thing of making a wish fall on you, a tool person? That wish was fulfilled by you, Einz What can the Beren family get?"

"You can't pick up the false name of "the family of the winner of the Holy Grail War" and hold it like a treasure, right? That's why the Einzbern family paid you for the competition? Who are you lying to here?"

[System prompt: Emiya Kiritsugu's palpitation value +999]

Emiya Kiritsugu thought about it, and felt that Minan Rinka's words made sense.It must be because he was too impatient to pursue his ideals, so he didn't find the problem.

It seems that the rumors of the Holy Grail War are unreliable, Emiya Kiritsugu felt that the choice he made this time was correct.

He violated his life creed and chose the former between his wife and daughter and the greater good.This is almost a reenactment of the choice of whether to kill his childhood sweetheart in order to prevent the disaster from expanding on the small island.

If he can choose right this time, maybe his life, maybe the lives of many people can be changed.

For Emiya Kiritsugu, this was a gamble with the whole world, himself, his wife and daughter at stake.

"Anyway, Illya is still at Einzbern's house in Germany. I must ensure her safety before destroying the Holy Grail and bring her to me and Ari." Emiya Kiritsugu chose to bypass the tool man Topic, "This is the commission I want to give you."

"Oh..." Minan Rinka, who was still able to speak just now, suddenly fell silent.

After a few seconds, she said, "This is an international job. I think the travel expenses..."

Emiya Kiritsugu said: "After the matter is over, I will leave with my wife and daughter. This castle and the few properties I bought in the urban area under Maiya's name are no longer needed and can be given to you."

Minan Linhua patted the table again: "It's easy to talk about, isn't it just going to Germany! Make sure to bring your daughter back!"

[System prompt: Emiya Kiritsugu's palpitation value +233]

***

Minan Rinka feels that she is very talkative. She also accepts cash, treasures, and real estate. Basically, there is no need for customers to use fixed channels to pay remuneration...

She got the detailed floor plan of Einzbern Castle in Germany from Emiya Kiritsugu, and stared at it for a while.Emiya Kiritsugu said: "The Holy Grail War is not over yet. There is a powerful barrier around the city of Einzbern that does not belong to Kenneth's magic workshop, and it is difficult for even heroic spirits to break in. Eri and I can enter and exit without hindrance, but Once we pass through the barrier, a record will be generated immediately."

"Oh." Minan Rinhua nodded.She looked quite serious, so Emiya Kiritsugu continued talking.

"Because of the enchantment, the guards in the castle are not strong. There are only two personal maids who can use magic around Illya. But once they find out that someone wants to take Illya away, they will immediately notify Ein The magus from House Zbern came to fight."

Emiya Kiritsugu pointed to a large bedroom on the upper floor of the castle on the floor plan: "Illya sleeps here, while the maids sleep in a small room outside. They come back every once in a while to check if Illya has anything. need."

"This is Ilya." He opened the necklace box and showed Minan Rinhua a small photo of Ilya, "You have to remember her appearance."

Minan Rinka leaned her head over to look.Inside the necklace box, a girl who looked exactly like Irisviel was smiling.

"Can you not recognize this?" She was a little surprised, "Isn't this the same as your wife?"

"The cyborgs in the Einzbern family are all the same template, and they look very similar. That's what I said, but her bangs are mine." Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes softened a little, and he pointed at Illya bangs.

"..." Minan Rinka was silent for a few seconds, then turned her head and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with disapproving eyes.

"Give me a pair of scissors and a bottle of hairspray, and I can make her hairstyle follow Iskandar's. Believe it or not?" She couldn't help but said, "Absolutely, there is even a saying that bangs are hereditary..."

[System prompt: Emiya Kiritsugu's palpitation value +100]

Emiya Kiritsugu changed the subject abruptly.

"If we want to act, we must speed up, enter Illya's room as soon as we pass the barrier, and bring Illya out before the maids notice the abnormality. After that, on the journey from Germany to Japan, we You have to avoid the pursuit of the Einzbern family."

While talking, Emiya Kiritsugu took out a huge black travel bag from under the table, and put it on the table with a "boom".He opened the zipper of the travel bag, revealing the many guns and ammunition inside: "How many people are there in your office? We will need all the manpower. Einzbern will definitely come out to chase us..."

Minan Rinka quietly looked at Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at the time—it was already past five o'clock in the morning: "I'm going to buy a plane ticket to Germany now, and try to start the operation tomorrow morning. You go find your subordinates..."

"Wait a minute..." Minan Rinka finally spoke.She cleared her throat: "What about the agreed remuneration? Show me your real estate certificate?"

Emiya Kiritsugu paused, turned around and went up the stairs.After a while, he came down with a box.

Minan Rinka opened the box and found that it was indeed the property he had mentioned before.In addition to this castle here, Emiya Kiritsugu also owns an apartment in Miyama-cho and Shinto, Fuyuki City, and there are two storefronts in Shinto.These real estates are recorded in Hisu Maiya's name, and they were used to cover up the business when Hisu Maiya secretly prepared for the Holy Grail War in the past.

After Minan Rinka confirmed that the real estate certificates were all real, she quickly covered the box and stuffed it in her bag...

Emiya Kiritsugu: "???"

[System prompt: Emiya Kiritsugu's palpitation value +300]

"Let Hisu Maiya follow me to go through the formalities tomorrow." Minan Rinka said cheerfully, "I'll go to the bathroom first..."

Under Emiya Kiritsugu's gaze, Minan Rinka walked into the bathroom.

After closing the door, she took out the teleportation compass and located the coordinates in Illya's bedroom in Einzbern Castle in Germany.

With a flash of white light, the bathroom in front of him turned into an empty bedroom.

The wall on one side of the bedroom is covered with huge arched floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the windows, the snow on winter nights is accompanied by the bitter north wind.The bedrooms are huge with soft thick carpets.There was only a large bed and some fragmented furniture in the corner of the bedroom, and a small figure curled up on the bed.

Minan Rinka walked to the bed and looked down.Silver hair, the same face as Irisviel, the same bangs as Emiya Kiritsugu... This child is Illya, right?

Just in case, Minan Rinka thought about it, and suddenly kicked the bedpost.

The silver-haired little girl lying on the bed suddenly felt her bed shake violently in her sleep, and sat up with a bang in fright...

[System prompt: Ilyasphil von Einzbern's palpitation value +365]

Come on, the little girl didn't run away.

So before Ilya had time to scream, Minan Rinhua grabbed her arm and turned the teleportation compass.

A white light flashed, and the two appeared in the original bathroom.

[System prompt: Ilyasphil von Einzbern's palpitation value +999]

……

Emiya Kiritsugu squatted outside the bathroom, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

Why the hell did you shut yourself in the bathroom with the certificate of property rights?Are you planning to slip away?Did you hear the content of the commission and think it was too difficult, so you got cold feet?

Or, what she said about the Holy Grail before was all false, and she just wanted to cheat his cards and try to eliminate him?

Shall I kick open the bathroom door now?Although it might be a little bad if the other party is actually going to the bathroom, but compared to that, other things are more important...

Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath and stood up.

He raised his leg to aim at the bathroom door, and was about to kick it through, when suddenly the door lock clicked and the door opened.

"Who are you! I told you to let go of me..." Ilya in the door was hanging on Minan Rinhua's arm, struggling to kick her legs with a displeased face, when she suddenly saw the person at the door lifting her foot, own father...

Emiya Kiritsugu also saw Illya...

For a while, the father and daughter maintained the posture of one lifting his foot and the other hanging on Minan Rinka's arm, relatively silent.

[System prompt: Emiya Kiritsugu's palpitation value +999]

[System prompt: Ilyasphil von Einzbern's palpitation value +999]

Minan Rinhua was silent for a moment, and asked, "What do you want to do with this action, hehe..."

Emiya Kiritsugu felt that Minan Rinka's tone was quite unpleasant.His reaction was quick: "Add another store in the central business district of Xindu."

"Okay." Minan Rin quickly stuffed Illya into Emiya Kiritsugu's arms, "I won't disturb the reunion of your father and daughter. Remember to ask Maiya Kuu to come and meet me tomorrow." Handling real estate procedures..."

[System prompt: Emiya Kiritsugu's palpitation value +300]

Emiya Kiritsugu finally understands, Minan Rinka, it’s not enough to say that she is very talkative, but it is not good to say that she is not easy to talk to, as long as you give money, she is very talkative...

Seeing that Minan Rinhua was about to leave after slapping his butt, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you..."

"Company secrets, hehe..." Minan Rinhua turned around and slipped away.

When father and daughter met, Emiya Kiritsugu originally had a lot of emotion in his heart, and Illya also had a lot of confusion in his heart.However, the situation of this meeting was too unimaginable. The two stared at each other for 2 minutes, but were unable to speak.

Minan Rinka has already left the living room.And at this moment, the door leading to the depths of the castle was opened, and Hisu Maiya walked in with Irisviel supporting her.

Irisviel rested for a while, and felt that she was in better spirits, so she planned to ask Emiya Kiritsugu what happened to the elopement just mentioned.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw that her precious daughter who was supposed to be in Germany was standing in the living room in a nightgown, looking at Emiya Kiritsugu with a bewildered expression.

"Illya?" Irisviel cried out, ran over quickly, and hugged her daughter tightly.

"Mom!" Ilya was still in a dazed state.

It wasn't until she confirmed that what she was holding in her arms was indeed her daughter that Irisviel looked up blankly and asked Emiya Kiritsugu: "What happened? Why is Illya here?"

"It's a matter of fact..." Emiya Kiritsugu stopped halfway through his words, his teeth gritted.

This is not a long story at all!Minan Rinhua went into the bathroom, and when she came out, she hugged such a big girl.At that time, he had already booked his air ticket and brought out his guns and ammunition. Who could he turn to for reasoning?

But it's not easy to explain briefly.What should he say?Minan Rinhua rolled up her trouser legs after entering the bathroom, and fished their daughter Ilya out of the sewer?

[System prompt: Emiya Kiritsugu's palpitation value +500]

"It was Minan Rinka who did it. I contacted her using the contact information on the business card she gave Saber. As for how she did it, I don't know." Emiya Kiritsugu sighed, " Ellie, take Illya and leave Fuyuki City by plane first, Saber, Maiya and I stay here and prepare to completely destroy the Great Holy Grail."

Irisviel pursed her lips, and asked in a low voice: "Kiritsugu, are you really sure you want to do this? You must know that if you do this, you must completely give up your ideals..."

"No, I won't give up completely." Emiya Kiritsugu also squatted down and put his arms around his wife's shoulders, "I will still do what I think is right and beneficial, but in a different way from the past."

The sky was getting brighter, and after escorting Irisviel and Illya to board the plane and leave, Emiya Kiritsugu walked to Liudong Temple alone with tools.

If he alone had the power, the underground cavity would never be destroyed in a short period of time.But now he has four Command Spells that can command the powerful Heroic Spirit Saber.

……

On that day, there was a huge roar from Mount Enzo, located in the west of Fuyuki City, and Ryudoji Temple shook along with the mountain, as if a strong earthquake had occurred.

The residents of Shenshan Town felt the earthquake one after another, and even the high-rise buildings in Xindu, which was far away, shook.

During this period, Minan Rinka's palpitation value exchange system kept ringing, and the most prominent and most frequently appeared was Saber's palpitation value.

***

Inside the hotel, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald was squatting there, sweating profusely, deciphering the magic circle.As he cracked it, he felt aggrieved in his heart...

Not to mention that the well-endowed guard version of the Magic Workshop was turned into a cage, and Caster’s annihilation plan also failed to participate, and his Magic Workshop was frantically copied by a few cheap little blacks...

Who should he talk to?

Seeing that there were only a few magic circles left in the magic workshop, Kenneth worked hard, his hands were like the wind, and he operated like a tiger, finally untiing the last magic circle.

At that moment, the joy that surged in Kenneth's heart was even greater than the day he became a lecturer in the Clock Tower, the day he got engaged to his fiancée, and the day he summoned Lancer Diarmuid...

Such a complicated magic circle was unraveled by him ahead of time.At that moment, Kenneth thought to himself that he might be addicted to this refreshing feeling...

But there is still work to be done.At that moment, Kenneth wiped his sweat, and turned around to summon Diarmuid.

"The highlight of the Holy Grail War will begin next." Kenneth waved his hand, "Lancer, bring the victory of the Holy Grail War to me!"

"Follow the Lord's orders!" Diarmuid Odi knelt down on one knee in front of the Master in agitated mood, and vowed to use his two guns to bring him victory!

"Next, let's ask the supervisor what stage the war outside is going on now." Kenneth said, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number of the Holy Church.

……

"The Holy Grail War is over. The Great Holy Grail was destroyed in the earthquake in the morning, and the entire spiritual vein collapsed. I have also booked a flight back to Italy." The new supervisor of the Holy Grail War said on the phone, "You don't know yet? It's just right, after I notify you, I can finish my work completely."

"I'll contact you next time I'm in London on official business. Let's find a bar for a drink and some fish and chips. See you later." After finishing speaking, the supervisor hung up the phone...

Kenneth still hadn't taken off the sweat-stained clothes from cracking the magic circle.He just stood at the door of the hotel with his mobile phone in his hand, silent for a long time.

Kenneth smashed his phone to the ground with a dark face, turned his head and went back to the room...

Fuyuki City can't wait anymore!
