[fatezero] The other side of the heart

Chapter 23 Alice Fell

The speed of time is slowing down, Aiyi is slowly moving forward in the mist, gray sky, black trees, there seems to be no one else in this world except her.

Looking at the endless journey, she continued to walk forward. There was a light there, perhaps not far away.

At the end of the road was a gorgeous room, and when she stepped into the room, what used to be the entrance turned into a wall.A silver-haired little girl curled up on a luxurious big bed. She seemed to be awakened by the sound of Aiyi's footsteps, rubbed her red eyes and sat up, and asked a little sleepily, "Who are you?"

Aiyi didn't answer in a hurry, just looked at this little girl who was only seven or eight years old, and felt where she had seen her before.Suddenly the little girl seemed to lose sleepiness at all, and happily shouted in Aiyi's direction: "Mom!"

Aiyi turned around and saw the familiar figure: "It's you!" It was the artificial human from the Einzbern family she had seen in the first battle.

The beautiful silver-haired woman didn't seem very surprised when she saw Ai Yi, she just smiled softly: "You can call me Irisviel." Ai Yi felt very puzzled, but still replied: "My name is Ai Serol .”

Irisviel sat on the edge of the bed, and the little girl leaned against Irisviel's arms, let out a breath, and muttered, "Mom, Illya is so sleepy." Irisviel stroked Illya gently. head, resting her head on his lap. "Mom, I really miss Kiritsugu, when will he come back." Illya closed her eyes and said softly. "When he finishes his work, he will come back to play with Ilya soon." Ilya was already asleep, and Irisviel said softly, a tear slowly fell from her face.

Irisviel carefully covered Illya with the quilt, stood up and said to Ai Yi, "I'm sorry, I brought you here without authorization."

"What the hell is this place?" Aiyi asked, but still moved vigilantly to a location far away from Irisviel. "This is just a dream connecting you and me. I just hope you can help me with one thing."

"I help you? I still remember that we should be in a hostile relationship now." Aiyi replied.

Irisviel shook her head with a smile, and said: "Our timeline is different. I am Irisviel from the future, not the current Irisviel. I am looking for you in the hope that you can change that misfortune s future."

Aiyi froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you think I will believe what you said? Besides, you want to change the future, why don't you tell yourself now."

Irisviel looked at the hazy sky outside the window, "You don't exist in the future I know, which means you are the only variable. Only you can create a new future. The Holy Grail dates back to the Third Holy Grail War It has been polluted since then, and now the Holy Grail contains the evil of the whole world. Praying to it will only bring disaster.”

Ai still didn't want to believe it, she suspected that this was a conspiracy by Emiya Kiritsugu.

"I know you won't believe it easily, so let you see the future I know."

Irisviel put her hand on Aiyi's forehead, and pictures flashed in her mind (see fate/zero animation for details).

"I don't believe it!" The scene of Diarmuid's tragic death couldn't disappear before her eyes, as well as the final fire and the barren ruins.

"These are all true, because now you are the master of Diarmuid, so his future has changed. But when the Holy Grail comes, his soul will also be swallowed by the Holy Grail, he is just a copy on the Throne of Heroes This is his destiny." Irisviel added, "Maybe you still can't believe what I said, but the Sea Demon will appear soon, and you can see if it is consistent with the future you see. "

Ai Yi thought for a long time, "Why are you looking for me, why don't you tell your husband directly?" Irisviel's eyes flashed a trace of sadness: "I said that only you are the only variable in this time and space, only you Only then can I change the future, and I cannot touch other people."

Aiyi thought that Kenneth might lose his original Command Seal because of her, maybe she was really the variable? "You want me to destroy the Holy Grail?"

"Even Saber can't destroy the Holy Grail, so I don't want you to destroy the Holy Grail." Irisviel shook her head.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Ai asked.

Irisviel picked up a blue gemstone and put it in Aiyi's hand, "This gemstone can absorb the soul of a dead heroic spirit. As long as the soul cannot be recovered by the Holy Grail, it will naturally not be able to come to the world, right? As long as If the Holy Grail doesn't appear, Diarmuid will always stay by your side." Irisviel's voice was so gentle that Aiyi felt a little dazed, but felt that what she said was right.

"Okay, go back and complete your mission. Then everyone will be happy." Irisviel said goodbye to Ai Yi with a smile.Holding the blue gemstone in her hand, Ai Yi looked a little confused, but under the guidance of Irisviel, she left the closed room and entered the fog again.

After Aiyi left, the originally luxurious room turned into nothingness. Irisviel stood there quietly, looking at the direction Aiyi was going away, a malicious smile appeared on her beautiful face, and whispered: " I hope you can find your body back, my poor child~~"

In this world of nothingness, the malice of the Holy Grail has quietly descended.
