"You're such a nice guy. ”

This is what Kiritsugu said about Natalia.

Because of this sentence, Kiritsugu has been by Natalia's side for the rest of the time.

Of course, it is not the adoption of orphans to treat them as ordinary children. Natalia doesn't have that kind of leisure and love, and Kiritsugu's comment seems to her to be a joke.

Good person? She hasn't been for a long time, or never has been.

She is a bounty hunter or mercenary by profession, does not belong to any organization, and only hunts down prey for rewards. And the means are definitely not glorious.

Her most common way is to keep an eye on the Magic Society's enforcers, taking their prey before they find a target and reselling it to the Magic Society at a high price.

This kind of bad way makes many people in the Magic Association hate it so much, but because Natalia has not violated the rules, she has always acted within the rules, her strength is strong, and she is very useful as a knife, and the Magic Association is not short of money, so she let it go.

After Kiritsugu joined, her actions became more efficient.

Kiritsugu stayed by Natalia's side as an assistant, and was called by her while receiving her training.

It also meant that he had embarked on the same path as Natalia, as a hunter.

He doesn't regret it, Natalia never persecuted him, everything is his own choice - because of this, he has never changed his opinion, and he always thinks she is a good person.

Leaving the closed southern island and coming to the outside world, Kiritsugu soon discovers that the tragedy he has experienced is not a rare exception, and that this kind of stupidity is repeated again and again in the dark side of this world, just like daily life. It was only concealed by the operational intelligence of the two major organizations, the Magic Society and the Templar Church, that it did not have a social impact.

Magicians who are too obsessed with the pursuit of truth and do not hesitate to spread calamity everywhere.

and two organizations that will do anything to clean up magicians underground. Struggles related to mysteries and hidden mysteries often occur everywhere, so often that Natalia is able to live a lavish life with this job.

A certain emotion in Kiritsugu's heart was ignited.

In order to redeem his mistakes, he killed his own father with his own hands.

But that's not enough, the act of killing the magician Emiya is too far from the determination to prevent the tragedy from happening again - like a drop of water to the sea, it is almost negligible.

If you really want to make amends for your mistakes and find a reason for killing your father, then you can only usher in true salvation by hunting down all heretical magicians like your father.

The seal designates the executor.

Hunting hunting dogs that are not in order, the boy did not hesitate to embark on this inhuman and bloody road, and for this reason agreed to the conditions of the association, and accepted the two-percent seal of his father Juxian in order to exercise magic.

For Kiritsugu, magic is not his life's work, but a means to achieve his own ends. In fact, magic was just one of several "tricks" that the boy had learned from the huntress.

Stalking skills, assassination techniques, and the use of all kinds of weapons – there is more than one "wingman" of a hound. In order to hunt and slaughter prey in a variety of environments and conditions, it is necessary to learn a variety of techniques and knowledge.

In order to learn these things, Kiritsugu contributed his most precious adolescence. The years full of blood and gunpowder left a mark on him when he was still very young, and also made him gradually emerge in the dark world and have a lot of fame.

Although he was a little too young, Kiritsugu was happy with his current state.

Despite the dirtiness of his means, despite his hands, he is on the path to his ideals and to salvation. Life with Natalia is also very good, maybe not as carefree as with Xia Lei, but there is a different kind of warmth.

I'm going to spend my whole life like this, with her—Kiritsugu, who has been out of his teenage years, thought.

At this time, he did not know how much this inhuman and bloody road would cost him, and what kind of sins that lofty and almost stupid ideals would burden him.

On this day, Kiritsugu's teacher and companion is facing the most sinister crisis of his life.

It seems to be the reincarnation of fate, and this time it is also related to magicians and vampires.

"Demon Bee Messenger" Odd Pozak, the goal of the two of them this time.

Although it is not complete, this magician has successfully transformed into a Dead Apostle, and through his bees to increase the number of ghouls under his control, he is a very dangerous existence.

Unlike the swaggering Dead Apostles, Pozak was very cautious, he changed his appearance, disguised himself as an ordinary person, and disappeared. It wasn't until four days ago that it was revealed that he would be flying on an Airbus A300 from Paris to New York.

In order not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the master and apprentice worked together. Natalia enters the plane alone and conducts a very difficult "hunt operation" to find the target with unknown faces and unknown names among the 287 passengers. Kiritsugu did not fly on the same plane, and he was tasked with going to New York first to find clues to Pozak's disguised identity.

In this way, the master and apprentice are in close contact with the sky and the ground, and gradually search for the seat of the prey quietly and surely in the confined space.

The assassination operation went unexpectedly well, and the mission was completed just three hours after the plane took off.

However, this is only the beginning of the tragedy.

No one would have thought that Pozak would sneak through customs and bring his "Dead Apostle Bees" on the plane, let alone that these "Dead Apostle Bees" would fall into a rampage and attack the passengers on the plane frantically after the death of their owner.

It didn't take long for the cockpit of the giant jetliner to turn into a bloody hell infested with corpses.

The confined environment, the huge number of "Dead Apostle Bees" and dead corpses, even the experienced Natalia is in a desperate situation.

Kiritsugu couldn't do anything about it, and Natalia was in an enclosed space at three thousand feet in the air, and unless he had the power to reach the sky, he could only wait tormented on the ground.

But even in such a bad situation, he still believed that the battle-hardened huntress would survive, because that was the great principle she had repeatedly emphasized and taught herself countless times - "live by any means, no matter what."

He trusted her to do it, just as she trusted his abilities.

She lived up to his trust and really survived. Even though the entire crew and passengers on the plane turned into ghouls, she managed to survive and made sure that the cockpit kept all the dead bodies out and piloted the plane to the New York airport herself.

And this is the worst and most likely scenario that Kiritsu predicted.

The two of them alone couldn't destroy so many dead bodies. Once the plane lands, let these corpses run wild with nothing but a thirst for flesh and blood, and I don't know how many more people will die - but if she can survive by doing so, Natalia will do it, her attachment to life is stronger than anyone else, and so is her ability to survive.

If you want to stop this, you have to let this steel cage crash into the Atlantic. If Natalie doesn't do it, it's up to him - those who should die are destroyed, and those who don't deserve to die are saved, and that's justice!

What an irony.

Events related to the monster hiding in the shadow of human reason have robbed him of the woman he loved most of his youth, and now he wants to take his last remaining family.

For the sake of justice, he once again had to make a cruel choice.

And, in order not for Natalia to perceive his thoughts, he must keep the radio communication open, pretend that he is still in the hotel, and reassure her by chatting with her.

Maybe it's boredom, or maybe she doesn't want to focus on the annoying corpses outside, Natalia today is extremely nagging and says a lot of things that are usually impossible to say.

"When you kid said you wanted to help me with my business, I really had a headache. Because even if you say it, it seems impossible for you to give up. ”

……

"You're too good at this, you little ghost. It's completely unaffected by psychology - it takes years for most killers to come to this sense. But little ghost, you have this awareness from the very beginning. That's a great quality. ”

……

"But choosing a career according to one's own quality is not necessarily happy. As long as this kind of thing crosses a certain boundary, it will leave behind the thoughts or feelings of the person concerned and directly determine the path of life. People just have to go so far and it's over. If you don't think about what you want to do, you just think about what you should do...... That kind of person is just a machine, a phenomenon, and it is not a way of life that a person should have. ”

……

"In your case, I'm like the main reason for taking away that opportunity. How to say that...... I also felt a little uncomfortable, even though I didn't have any other way to teach you at the time. ”

……

"For a long time, I lived a bloody life by myself. It's been so long that I've forgotten that I'm alone. So...... Heh, it's kind of funny, it's like being with someone who feels like family. ”

……

"Maybe I'm too old to be useful. ”

……

"The reason why this mistake happened was probably because playing the game of running a house wine unconsciously made me relax. If that's the case, it's time for it. Isn't it time to retire......

……

Every time he said a word, Kiritsu's heart was a little colder.

Yes, I have a lot of quality, so I can go crazy with heartache and calmly aim my "stinger" at the plane in the sky to kill my teacher, who is going to be my adoptive mother.

In order to deal with the "miracle" that the woman he loves can survive, he calculates step by step how to really kill her.

To this end, he ran around New York in the middle of the night, running through all the channels, and finally got the Blopipe (blowpipe) portable surface-to-air missile that flowed out of the black market.

Immediately afterwards, he rented a speedboat and rushed to the sea near the New York International Airport as fast as possible. Now, Kiritsugu was sitting on a speedboat floating on the sea, waiting for Natalia's plane to appear in front of him. This is directly below the shipping path, and as the plane approaches the New York International Airport, it will lose altitude and enter the barely reachable range of the missile.

What kind of bastard are you!!

But no matter how much he blamed himself and cursed himself, time was still passing little by little, and the beautiful silver wings appeared in the dawn of dawn, in the range of the "Blopipe"—fifteen hundred meters, and it would surely hit.

At this time, the woman finally spoke her last words.

"If you lose your job...... Now I can really only play the role of a mother. ”

"You...... It's my real family. ”

And he could only cry and roar hoarsely as he pressed the launch button.

Just like the last time, memories of her flashed through her mind, accompanied by explosives.

The piece of iron, which had lost its aerodynamic properties, twisted and broken as if it had been cut off, and fell into pieces silently into the early morning ocean. The metal shards that fell in the morning light glittered and sank to the bottom of the sea, like Kiritsugu's shattered mind.

The first rays of light shot out from the other side of the horizon. Kiritsugu bathed in the sunlight of the day, which Natalia had not been able to see after all, and was alone with a low voice and continued to cry.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Kiritsugu saves the public he doesn't know.

What kind of adult does Kelly want to be when he grows up?

I want to be a partner in justice.

Did you see that? Xia Lei......

This time I killed someone again. Just like killing my father, I killed again. I didn't make the same mistakes as you did. I have saved a lot of people .......

Would they be grateful if Kiritsugu's actions and intentions were known, and would those who were at the airport and finally saved from the horrors of the dead be hailed as heroes?

"What are you kidding... What a joke!Bastard!!"

Holding the missile canister that had begun to cool, Kiritsugu roared at the brightening sky.

He doesn't want fame, and he doesn't want to be thanked by others. He just wanted to see Natalia one more time and wait for the day when he could call her "Mommy" to her face.

The day......

PS: A few more words here, this is a mistake in the design of the old fictional plot. In fact, the situation at that time was actually still solved, the dead body did not have the ability to break through the hatch, and naturally there was no ability to break through the cabin, even if it landed, as long as it was said hello in advance, it would not affect if it did not open the door - when the time came, Natalia would be brought out, although the cockpit did not have a hatch, but it could be cut from the outside, although it was troublesome, but it was also offset from bombing the plane. The only thing worth worrying about is probably the impact caused by the spread of this incident, but the bombing of the plane is not much better, and it can only be said that Kiritsugu's mind is still not flexible enough.
