black Knight

When they got out of the carriage the next day, the wind and snow outside had stopped, but looking at the sky still covered with gray and black clouds, one could tell that such a stop was only temporary.

Alicia put on a thick fur coat and an equally furry hood, and jumped out of the carriage with Diarmuid's support.

Although the temperature outside was higher than at night, it was still very low. Every breath she exhaled turned into patches of white mist, and she felt very cold just looking at it.

Alicia and the others walked about 300 meters forward, and there was no road. The towering trees stood there like straight javelins, but the long unpruned branches and leaves seemed to be the minions of monsters, as if they might attack them at any time. He rushed over to make a fuss, and forcibly took over the black-bellied president.

...This is the huge barrier that the Einzbern family is proud of, the snow barrier.

Although she hasn't entered it yet, Alicia can faintly feel the huge magic power in the enchantment—although she doesn't feel it when it is scattered in every place, but if you look at it as a whole, the magic power contained in it cannot be underestimated .

She had only seen such a huge magical power when the Holy Grail came.

As expected of the famous mage Einzbern.

Alicia sighed sincerely.

But the sigh is the sigh, what should be done is still to be done.

The white-haired girl skillfully took out the necessary self-made instruments from the box, and after some adjustments, handed them to Emiya Kiritsugu and Diarmuid respectively, and asked them to put them in the designated area.

Because the barrier of Einzbern is bigger than she imagined, she needs to test the flow of magic power in the barrier and find the most vulnerable place to strike.

It is very difficult to open such a huge barrier from the outside - if one wants to destroy it head-on, probably only a person at the level of a magician can do it with personal strength.

Ordinary people like them can only use some tricks.

All Alicia wanted to do was find the relatively weakest point of the enchantment, and punch a hole there so they could get in and out.

Diarmuid quickly put the weird little thing in the place designated by Alicia, and after a while, Emiya Kiritsugu also called to say that he had put away the instrument.

With all three instruments in place, the rest was Alicia's job.

Alicia pulled out two long threads from the one in front of her, and then stuck the discs at both ends of the threads to her two temples, and closed her eyes.

Although magic is something unscientific, it has to be said that magic has always been progressing together with science.Ordinary people invent instruments that can measure the weather and temperature, and magicians can naturally invent instruments that measure magic fluctuations.

The white-haired girl stood there quietly feeling the huge flow of magic power in the enchantment.

Under the action of the instrument, the originally invisible magic power showed a form that can be understood by people, and it turned like a cloud in Alicia's mind.

However, the flow of magic power is not as obvious as the temperature map seen, so naturally it takes much longer.

Emiya Kiritsugu came back through the snow.The snow that had stopped for a morning floated up again, and the same fine snow silk as yesterday fell on the ground, competing with the three people here for the temperature in the air.

Diarmuid covered Alicia with another coat, and stood behind her with an umbrella to shield her from the wind and snow.

Master and servant, these two people with almost no possibility, finally rely on their persistence and hard work to turn the impossible into the possible and come together.

Although there was no communication or even physical contact, the two of them standing there were an unbearably beautiful sight.

... He once had such an opportunity, but it all came to naught because of his stubbornness.

So at this time, even the memories are pitifully few.

In his life, there are many things worth remembering, but when he really thought about it, he found that there were not many things that were happy.

He was happy, but most of these happiness were buried with his own hands.He was also happy before, but the happier he was at that time, the sadder he was later.

It was probably because he didn't know how to cherish that he ended up with nothing in the end.

But that's it, he can't die right now.

He still has to raise his adopted son and rescue his daughter—if he dies like this, then all the hard work he has put in until now will really be in vain.

Even if it's just for atonement, he has to desperately live on now.

The eyes of the man who always had lifeless eyes were a little more angry.

Alicia took longer than expected to position herself, and she didn't open her eyes until the afternoon when the wind and snow subsided again.

Except for chance, she finally chose two places that could be used as a breakthrough.Then discuss these two places with Emiya Kiritsugu, and choose the one that is easier to enter as a breakthrough.

It sounds simple to make a hole in the barrier, but it is very difficult to do it. In particular, you must be careful not to be discovered by the Einzbern family, and the action will be even slower.

They entered Einzbern Castle in the early hours of the morning.

This traditional stone castle stands tall and majestic like the magicians who inhabit it.

Traditional and no-nonsense, and, in some ways, unusually stubborn.

"What are you doing back here?"

The voice of the current Patriarch of the Einzbern Family, Ubstaku Hayd, echoed in the hall.

"I'm here to take my daughter, Illya." The worried father responded loudly.

Hearing his words, there was a brief silence in the hall, but then the voice of Ubstaku Hayd sounded again:

"Iliasfell is an important holy grail container of our Einzbern family. Although she has a little bit of your blood, it never belonged to you—what qualifications do you have? Take her away."

"I don't want to hear any more about the Holy Grail. Illya is my daughter, and I'm here to take her home—that's all." The man said, taking another step forward.

Although he had lost a lot of weight, the man's hand holding the gun did not shake in the slightest.The muzzle of the dark gun pointed at the empty passage on the side, and could shoot deadly bullets at any time.

"……wishful thinking."

After the voice of Ubstaku Hayd fell, the defense system in the castle was fully activated.They are usually servants, but servants trained as warriors are also coming here from various places.

"Diarmuid, go and bring Iliasviel here."

Alicia opened the defensive barrier and gave instructions to the man on the side.

"But here..."

"We can hold on for a while, as long as you bring Eliasfiel, we should have the right to speak." Alicia once again showed the bow and archery posture, and shot the invisible arrow. go out.

"Ilyasviel is like Irisviel the container of the Holy Grail—they dare not harm her."

"It's enough to have me and Emiya Kiritsugu here."

If they can attract the main attention of the people in the castle here, their purpose will be achieved.Now that people are busy coming over to destroy them, they probably haven't taken Eliasfiel to other places.As long as Diarmuid is fast enough, the battle won't last long.

...Of course, if they fought for a long time, they would not be able to resist the young lover of the president of the Einzbern family who had the advantage of the terrain.

"Understood." Diarmuid stabbed another servant who rushed up with the yellow rose, and said softly to Alicia.

"I'll be back soon."

After the words fell, the man in green disappeared from people's sight.

"The servants are relying on you, I will destroy the magic mechanism."

Without Diarmuid's cover, Alicia hurriedly retreated behind Emiya Kiritsugu, and said while summoning the familiar.

"what."

The man with the gun didn't look back, and seemed to respond casually.

The fighting power of heroic spirits has always been superhuman, especially heroic spirits like Diarmuid, who were outstanding fighters during their lifetime, are even more unmatched opponents for ordinary magicians.

Although the two maids serving Iliasviel were all combat-trained, they were really not good enough in front of Diarmuid.

After repelling them casually, he grabbed the white-haired girl who didn't know the situation, turned and ran in the direction he came from.The girl in his hand struggled desperately, but couldn't hinder him in any way.

When Diarmuid appeared in the hall with Eliasviel, the attacks from Einzbern Castle stopped.

"Kiritsugu!"

Eliasviel didn't care about struggling, and shouted loudly to the man standing at the door of the hall.

Even though Ubstakuhaid had told her that Kiritsugu would not come back if she didn't want her, those words were nothing compared to the man standing at the door right now.

Kiritsugu came back as promised, which was more important to her than anything else.

"……What do you want to do."

The voice of Ubstaku Hayd sounded again.

"I want to take Illya away." Emiya Kiritsugu repeated his purpose again.

"This is impossible, the significance of Eliasviel to our Einzbern family..."

"I know—so I can't watch you send my beloved to death again!"

Emiya Kiritsugu interrupted him roughly.

"If you insist on blocking it." Emiya Kiritsugu looked at his daughter who was being led by Diarmuid, and took out an old single-shot pistol with a simple shape from his arms.

"...Then I don't mind, ruining Illya's magic circuit."

"Rather than let you send her to a dead end in the future, I'd rather she live this life as an ordinary girl."

He knows better than anyone what will happen to the person hit by the origin bomb, but rather than letting her be turned into a tool, he would rather be hated by her than let her escape this fate.

This was the last decision he, an incompetent father, could make for her.

Seeing his daughter's face resembling that of his deceased wife, the man's heart ached again.
