Sumire Tohsaka

==================

"But Sakura made a wish to me at that time." Her eyes were misty, as if immersed in distant memories, "Even if she fell into a situation where life would be worse than death, she still hoped that I could live. So from then on From that moment on, I just wanted to live."

Putting her pale hand on her heart, Sumire Tohsaka smiled slightly, as if recalling the moment when the hole in her chest was gradually being filled.

She is a born and finished creature.At least, unlike weak human beings, her interior was completed before she was born.

In other words—before she was born, there was a huge void inside her.

She's something born after a human, so that hole will never go away.

It doesn't matter if it's the Cave of Garan, or if it's 【】.

The inner emptiness will not disappear, but it can be filled.

From that day on, those insignificant daily routines, those hands stretched out to her, those loves and hugs and even unspeakable kisses...all gradually filled the void in her heart.

Although living is painful and requires a lot of hard work, touching my heart like this will still feel warm.

That warmth is the essence of being human and striving to survive.

"I want to live now."

Then, the girl who looked like a doll said so.

"I want to be with those people all the time, I want to meet a lot of people, and I want to meet more good things in the future for a long, long time."

That's not making a wish.

Rather, it is very simple, as a human child is telling the result of his own thinking.

Although she is still very naive, even though she cannot help but say that she is naive...but that is also the result of her hard thinking.It was the truest voice in her heart, under the cover of endless despair.

"So, I'm sorry." She looked at the guardian of the restraining force, showing a little apology on her face, "I can't let you kill me here."

Death is the end of everything.

And she didn't want it to end like this.

As if echoing her words, the building shook suddenly, and with a loud bang, a huge gap was broken from the outside.

The rubble and ashes fell one after another, but as if following some invisible guidance, she avoided Sumire Tohsaka on the ground, and the cats entrenched around her made terrified sounds and fled in all directions.The black cat in her arms was also trembling uncomfortably, trying to break free from her confinement, but it was still held in place by the girl's slender arms.

Amid all the strange sounds, Sumire Tohsaka raised her head and saw the blue sky leaking from the hole.

And, that man in heaven.

The dazzling sunlight fell on her eyelashes, and the girl couldn't help squinting her eyes.After the slight pain faded away, she opened her eyes and looked at the man standing against the light.

Obviously without any fulcrum, he still stands in the sky.I don't know if he has just experienced a fierce battle, but he has lost his blindfold, and his pupils are purer than the sky, and farther than the ice sea, staring at them from above.

More beautiful than anything, and more dangerous than anything... those eyes.

"It's unforgivable for a guy who takes advantage of other people's girlfriends when they are not at home."

Gojo Satoru smiled, but his fingertips had already formed the spell.Huge mantra power condensed at his fingertips, compressing a creepy wind noise, and even the space was cracked due to such high-intensity compression.

Then, he suddenly smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"You said yes? A lackey of restraint."

boom! ! ! ! !

……

……

……

How many years has it been since you became the representative of the restraining force?

Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't remember clearly.

How many more people did he kill in the process?It is also impossible to calculate.

Whether it is time or region, they have lost their meaning.He is just the execution machine of Alaya's will, following the judgment of the restraining force, removing those who may threaten the survival of human beings and touch the root vortex.

Find the target, lurk, look for opportunities, kill the target.

Life as an assassin isn't much different than it was in life, nor is the pattern of killing a few for the survival of the many.Only this time, the person who weighed his life on the scale was no longer him.

For Emiya Kiritsugu, this was a relief like a curse.

Both the heart and the soul have been worn out in the process.

I don't know how many times I have done a task like this one.

Theoretically, there is no one he cannot kill.

The "Inherent Time Control" held by Emiya Kiritsugu is a magic that can suspend time. Under the pampering and restraining power of the Holy Grail, his magic power is almost unlimited. In other words, he can suspend time The number of times is almost endless.

This time, however, he encountered setbacks.

If he mastered the magic of time, then the man named Gojo Satoru mastered the magic of space.

Even if the endless time can be suspended, it is impossible to break through the "infinity" between the two of them.

Whether it is the origin bomb that can break through all magic defenses, or the means of breaking away from the current timeline, it cannot be done because of the restrictions of that girl.

Miscalculated.

Emiya Kiritsugu almost wanted to sigh.

He has already spent too much time on this task objective.All plans were destroyed by the girl's unconscious wish.Day after day, even he was almost getting used to this kind of life—a life he was familiar with but abandoned by himself.

He who is always jumping on the time axis can no longer bear such a long life.

Only when killing can one forget those things and live as a machine.However, in such a long wait, in such a silent day, some things that should not have been revived have been revived.

Inexplicably, Emiya Kiritsugu remembered a long, long time ago, when he was still a human being, no, when he was still a boy who was walking and studying with his master, he once heard a story from a certain retired killer.

He can't remember that person's face, even his voice is blurred, only the story is still so clear.

It was only a trivial matter that made the cold-blooded killer quit.

But one day, when he received another assassination mission, while waiting for the target to be assassinated, he saw the target sitting in the warm sunshine on an open-air coffee seat, drinking contentedly. coffee.

"He added five sugar cubes."

At that moment, the taste of coffee with sugar cubes revived on the killer's tongue.When he recalled the aroma of coffee, recalled the ordinary warmth, and recalled that he was also alone...he could no longer kill.

... At such a time, thinking of this story, it is really some kind of worst omen.

Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help thinking this way.

He forced himself to divert his attention and fix his eyes on those two people.

As he had thought earlier, this was the worst possibility—the two of them together were invincible.

However, he still had to try to kill her.

In order not to let the world continue to run according to her will.

Also in order not to let more people fall into a more dangerous situation because of her mistake.

Even if it was just a possibility, he had to kill it.

Although……

In the depths of his heart, there is also a small voice asking, is this really the case?

It was a human being named Emiya Kiritsugu, a little residue left after the soul was worn out.

The tiny humanity that he had strangled by himself was asking him—is it really necessary to kill this child?

Emiya Kiritsugu stifled the voice again, he filled the ammunition, and pulled the trigger again on the two people in front of him.

I just don't know why, but the hand that has been stable like a machine shakes very lightly.

Perhaps, it was just because he saw the hands of those two people holding hands in the scope.

Senior's experience is indeed correct...he shouldn't have read it.

he thinks.

Only by forgetting that the other person is a human being and that you are human can you pull the trigger.

……

……

……

It took longer than expected to defeat the man in red.

Sure enough, the guardian from the Wheel of Suppression, Alaya's representative, is indeed very powerful.Even if the two of them joined hands, they couldn't defeat it easily.

If it wasn't for the inexplicable trance of the other party at the end, they still wouldn't be able to defeat him like this.

Among the ruins, Sumire Tohsaka looked at the man in red lying in a pool of blood, quietly waiting to die, and suddenly said something that sounded unreasonable at first glance.

"If I were really going to destroy the world, would you kill me?"

Under the red shadow, the man slowly raised his head, his faded eyes were as cold and firm as some kind of metal.As if he was completely unaware of his situation, he spoke calmly and decisively.

"Yes," he said, "at that time, I will kill you at all costs."

Sumire Tohsaka smiled very lightly, then stood up and clapped her hands lightly.

"Then come back then."

she said briskly.

"When I really turn into a disaster and want to destroy the world, you can kill me again."

She held Gojo Satoru's hand, proudly puffed out her chest, and smiled slightly, without a trace of haze in her eyes.

"Until then, just watch it carefully."

The girl seemed to be speaking to him, and also seemed to be declaring to Alaya through him to the restraining force behind him—the collective unconsciousness of primates.

"Look, I will never go that far."

Tohsaka Sumire held Gojo Satoru's hand tightly, thinking, because she was with this person, she would definitely be able to do it.
