"I really didn't expect it to be in this kind of place. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Luo Fengyun came out of the shadows and looked at the dark mansion.

"......" Luo Fengyun felt that a gaze was looking at him, so he turned his head away.

The black knight's eyes lit up red, looking at Luo Fengyun.

"Hey, Xuanyuan Hao, this is your hospitality?!" Luo Fengyun asked loudly.

"Silent intruders on our garrison are only the enemy. Xuanyuan Hao, who was holding the red spear, looked at Luo Fengyun condescendingly and said lightly.

“…… Well, it's me who is rude, I'm here to form an alliance with you on behalf of my master. ”

"Alliance?ha, ridiculous, why?" Xuanyuan Hao laughed, "I can win this war alone." ”

"Well, I'll pay for it. Luo Fengyun took out a string of red beads, "These seven beads are all doppelgangers of my beasts, and they all have about eighty percent of the strength of the body, do you want to go back to your world?"

"Click...... The tip of the spear in Xuanyuan Hao's hand was already aimed at Luo Fengyun's throat, "How do you know?"

"Guess. Luo Fengyun smiled casually, "You know, my most reliable thing is intuition." ”

"Okay...... Xuanyuan Hao frowned, "I have a request for the alliance you said." ”

"What requirements?" Luo Fengyun asked.

"For specific requirements, I want to talk to your master personally. Xuanyuan Hao said.

"And then?"

"No, Wild Goose Night, I'll go out. Xuanyuan Hao said hello and left the room with Luo Fengyun.

"Let's go. ”

……

The dreary air made Alice Phil sigh several times.

"-Are you tired? ”

Kiritsugu asked. Alice hid her melancholy expression and shook her head with a smile.

"Nothing, I'm not tired. Go on. ”

Alice urged Kiritsugu. Kiritsugu went on to tell all sorts of information about Fuyuki City. On the table in front of Kiritsugu, a map depicting the entire city of Fuyuki unfolded.

"There are two places that are the center of the whole region. One is the mansion of the secondmaster Tosaka. Needless to say, everyone knows the other, and that is Enzang Mountain. All the spiritual veins in the surrounding area converge on the Enzo Mountain. The details are as the Ahad patriarch recounts—"

"--A strong barrier was set up at the Liudong Temple on the top of Mt. Enzo as a base, so that in addition to the servant. All other natural creatures can only enter the barrier through mountain paths. Saber should be aware of this when acting. ”

"Mr. Kiritsugu, just leave it to me about the battle against the caster. Luo Fengyun suddenly spoke, "My independent actions will not affect Ellie and you, and the last spell belongs to you." ”

The heavy air suddenly relaxed.

There are two reasons why the air has become congregated before. One is that Saber has shown a resolute rejection of Kiritsugu. Saber's attitude is not new, but has only become more pronounced since he arrived at Einzbelen Castle.

Kiritsugu remained coldly silent.

Alice Fell did know that Kiritsugu Emiya had a dual personality. She realizes that Kiritsugu has injected all his affection into his wife and daughter, and on the other hand, he has hidden the scars of the past in his heart. What kind of life Kiritsugu lived before joining the Einsberen family, Alice also knows something. But is this the decisive factor that separates the two of them?

“…… What is the overseer's proposed new rules of war? Doesn't he want us to enter into a truce with all enemies except Caster?"

"Ignore that new rule. The overseers only provided compensation for the implementation of the new provisions, and did not establish penalties for violating the new provisions. If the Overseers really want to trouble us, we just pretend not to know about it, and the Overseers of this war have always found it unconvincing. Pretending to know nothing, he hid the Assassin's master. Maybe he's with Tosaka. Before you know the details of him, let's be suspicious of him for the time being. ”

"Then that's it. I stayed in the castle with Alice Phil to prepare for Caster's attack. Maiya returns to the city to gather information. Tell me if anything changes. ”

"Yes. ”

Maiya nodded without hesitation, stood up, and left the conference room. Kiritsugu, who got up later, gathered the maps and materials on the table and left the conference room. Until the end, Kiritsugu didn't look at Saber.

Saber, who was completely ignored by Kiritsugu, bit her lip angrily and stared at the carpet beneath her feet. Alice Phil stayed in the conference room with Saber. At this moment, Alice Phil didn't know what words to use to comfort the angry Saber.

"Okay, relax, Sister Lily. Luo Fengyun sighed and patted Saber's shoulder gently, "Mr. Kiritsu, it's just that I'm relatively weak and can't accept you." Ellie, go talk to Kiritsugu, and I'll talk to Sister Lily briefly. ”

Alice Phil knew that she couldn't persuade Saber now, so she agreed to Luo Fengyun's words, turned around and left the room to find Kiritsugu.

Alice Phil soon spotted Kiritsugu. He stood on a balcony overlooking the castle's foreyard, leaning against the guardrail, looking out over the forest at night. Luckily, there was no Maiya by Kiritsugu's side.

“…… Kiritsu. ”

Alice Phil slowly walked behind Kiritsugu and shouted. She didn't expect her voice to become harsh. Kiritsugu must be aware of his own existence, too. Because Kiritsugu didn't show the slightest look of surprise, but slowly turned around.

Alice Phil was mentally prepared. When Kiritsugu confronted Saber in the conference room just now, he showed that kind of cold eyes. Alice Phil prepares to look into Kiritsugu's grim eyes. But when she saw Kiritsugu's expression when she turned around, she couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, and stood there in a daze.

Kiritsugu's expression was like that of a wounded and helpless child, holding back tears. It was as if he had been cornered. Kiritsugu, who is now standing in front of Alice Phil, is far from the image of that powerful magician killer, just a weak and cowardly man.

"Kiritsugu, you-"

Kiritsugu didn't say a word, and hugged Alice Phil, who was confused. His chest was shaking. In Alice Fair's eyes, her husband's arms were always strong and supportive, but now her husband is as helpless as a child snuggled in his mother's arms.

"If I—"

Alice Phil felt her husband hug tighter, even causing her pain. At this time, the husband's faint questioning voice came to his ears.

"If at this point I decide to leave everything behind and get out of here - Alice, will you leave with me?"

Men like Emiya Kiritsugu ask this kind of question, which Alice probably would never have imagined. She was so shocked that she was speechless for a while, and after a long time she asked:

"Elia...... What if the kid is still in the castle?"

"We returned to the castle and took her out. Anyone who stands in our way will be killed. ”

It was short, sharp - yet full of desperation. There is no doubt that Kiritsugu is not joking, and is serious.

"From now on - I will give everything for our family. Use my life to protect you and Elia. ”

“……”

"Can ......we escape?

"You can get away. Now there's still a chance. ”

Kiritsugu replied immediately. But this statement is not credible. Kiritsugu just said that sentence so that he could still have that illusory hope in his heart. ，

"—You're lying. ”

So Alice Fell pointed it out. Gently, cruelly.

"That's impossible. Emiya Kiritsugu, there's no way you're going to escape. Give up the Holy Grail, give up the ideal of saving the world, you will never forgive yourself like that. You yourself will be the final judge and sentence yourself to death. ”

Kiritsugu finally burst into tears. He himself understands this. He had long since had no choice.

"I'm scared ......"

Kiritsugu wept and confided in his heart like a child.

"That guy, Yan Feng Qili, has targeted me. That's what Maiya told me. That guy used Kenes as bait to lure me in. He's figured out all my intentions......

I'm probably going to lose the fight. I sacrificed you and left Elia aside, but ...... The most dangerous guy has taken aim at me. That guy is the last opponent I want to meet!"

"I'm not going to let you fight alone. ”

Alice Phil stroked her husband's trembling back and said softly:

"I'm here to protect you. Saber and Saver will protect you too. And also...... Maiya will also be by your side. ”

"Yes, Mr. Kiritsugu. Don't be pessimistic, we can easily defeat all magicians. Luo Fengyun walked over slowly, and a piece of paper was held in his hand, "There are ten heroic spirits who participated in the war this time, and Avenger just sent me something, do you want to see it?"
