Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Rain of Symphonies

How long has it been since I've felt this way?

Alice Phil pressed her forehead lightly against the crystal glass window, feeling the chill. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The rain outside the window was dripping quietly, turning into countless silver threads.

It was a far more beautiful and delicate line than the silver thread she used herself, a natural thing.

If I could, I would like to put it in my hand, gently twist the droplets, which are about the temperature of ice, and, like in a fairy tale, weave the ice into the most beautiful silk.

"Hehe..."

Unconsciously laughed, ashamed of his childish thoughts. If Kiritsugu knew this thought, he would see himself as a child again...

Then I couldn't laugh anymore.

The face that flashed was no longer the serious but embarrassed expression of Kiritsugu, but a look of despair that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Yes, Emiya Kiritsugu failed.

Failed without any suspense.

Although the spell that should have disappeared is still on his arm, I don't know why he still refuses to leave in Kiritsugu's hand, but even if he still holds the spell, there is no heroic spirit who can sign a contract with Kiritsugu, right?

Therefore, in terms of common sense, this matter, this Holy Grail War, for Ainzbelen, and for Emiya Kiritsugu, has completely ended.

If you don't have to stay...

“・・・”

It's a pity... I thought it was going to win, but what I planned for it was no longer meaningful.

However, this is okay, in the first place, it is already terrifying.

From the beginning, I was quite worried about whether Kiritsugu would face danger in the war, although it was so sworn at the beginning, but now it seems that this is simply an accident, and it is not surprising that nothing happened in the Holy Grail War.

At first, it was a little arrogant...

But now, it's okay... Kiritsugu has nothing to do...

In this case, Ilya can still have a father, right?

A child who has no mother, at least, can leave a father behind, which is also a kind of compensation, right?

"Miss..."

The maids who had come from the city of Einsbelen in the far east still walked in respectfully with their heads bowed, but the half-arthrugs were heartily worried about the mistress who had already doomed all her fate.

"Your raincoat"

"Hard work"

The body has already contained, the souls of the three heroic spirits, as human skills have been declining, although the magic has become extremely powerful, but if it cannot be applied, it can only make itself more inhuman as a container.

It couldn't be worse.

I shook my hand slightly, but the fist I clenched was so weak... And just standing like this is already a hard thing for me.

"Put it on for me"

Smiling softly, her long silver hair was reminiscent of mercury, and the beautiful woman tilted her head slightly and smiled at her maids.

It should be a beautiful picture, but in fact, only the person concerned can understand it.

The bitterness and bitterness of this.

The current Alice Phil is infinitely close to a puppet, and of course, a puppet can't do anything by itself.

Once upon a time, no, knights from the beginning, that was the right thing to do, right?

As the vessel of the Holy Grail, the props painstakingly made by the city of Einzbelen, such a self is actually the real gesture. If you expect too much, it will only be more miserable, and this thing is actually right.

But it's still a pity, what is enlightened, and then painfully to meet fate or something, it's not that you can't do it, and it's not that you can't afford to lose.

As early as the moment the tip of the gun pierced Saber's heart, Alice Fell understood that the part that belonged to hers and Kiritsugu had no choice but to end.

That's it, that's it, this time the Holy Grail is also missing out on the city of Einzbelen.

That's it.

But, of course, you don't want to do that, huh?

How so?

If you don't admit defeat until now, then it's actually better not to have dreams from the beginning?

What are you kidding?

Smiled heroically, what Alice Phil showed now was actually a side that had not been shown in front of Kiritsu.

It's not as a foil, and it's not just the woman who Kiritsugu Emiya falls in love with, although those are all right and natural.

But the woman named Alice Phil is also undoubtedly a human figure with great magical powers, and the human form made from the Winter Saintess is also a self-conscious 'high doll'...

So, it doesn't matter.

It really doesn't matter, how disappointed Kiritsugu is now, I know very well, and I have long expected whether my current image will be embarrassing, but don't just stop.

Even if it's just for Ilya...

Emiya Kiritsugu must win.

There's no way around it, but because I can't see it now, I can't stop, right?

The failure after hard work is so miserable, it is extremely desolate to look at, and it is a very prohibitive thing. However, even if it is almost impossible to possibly be, since it is a failure, then it is no longer in the category of whether it will be too bleak and no longer think.

There's no way back, isn't it?

Ask yourself such a question. Then I confirmed my mind again.

The maids sent from the city of Einsbelen dressed Alice in pure white autumn clothes, noble, completely different from the commoners, but only served as a foil.

"Miss, is it okay?"

There was undoubtedly only one thing the maids asked, and that was the problem of malfunction caused by the overabsorption of Heroic Spirits in a short period of time, and the ingestion of three spirits in a row within a few hours.

Then again, were these maids sent here for such a thing soon after?

To ensure operation, the carrier of the Holy Grail, is the machine that must work well.

But even so, they are 'workers' and are worried about the machine itself.

"It's all right... Thank you very much."

Smiling brightly, Alice Fell thanked them from the bottom of her heart.

"Please come back as soon as possible, although the subordinates are very similar to go with you, but you will not agree."

Smiling bitterly, the android maids who are almost indistinguishable are really, really, very grateful to them.

The same kind, too...

"Well, I'm causing you trouble..."

"No, but please come back as soon as possible, if the elders are there..."

Yes, that's it.

The regulators of Einsbelen are violating the very meaning of their existence.

Just for yourself.

It's not the time to say pretty things at all, but if you could, you really want to say pretty lines like in the novel, right?

Unfortunately not at all, it's not so easy for the world.

They didn't do what they were doing just to hear that.

What they are doing is almost destroying themselves, if the Grail Container is out of control, if the Elders' order to 'keep the Holy Grail safe' is not followed, if Alice Phil is found to be free to go out in a dangerous environment, they will be dead.

Maybe it's more than that.

Puppet experts are the best at dealing with dolls.

“・・・”

Alice Phil could only smile apologetically.

Then she put on her white fur bucket hat, and she walked out of the room in the middle of the two rows of maids.

"Oh, yes..."

Then he paused as he stepped out of the door.

The pure white lady smiled bitterly and turned her head, and said with some annoyance to the one who took the lead, but was completely no different from the other maids.

"Don't tell Kiritsugu?"

Because in fact, he is probably continuing to work hard in his own way, right? Before the end, even if he is frustrated, he will work hard, right?

Alice Phil's concern now is just to worry Kiritsugu.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for you to do anything without the slightest plan, so it is just nonsense.

It's your own thing, it's that simple.

Alice Phil is trying to help Emiya Kiritsugu in her own way.

And the meaning of the word try is that not causing trouble is the first priority.

Putting the cart before the horse, this kind of thing will never have anything to do with artificial people.

But this doesn't seem like something to be proud of...

In terms of people...
