Chapter 12: Before the War

At this moment, Kiritsugu's mood was really melancholy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Almost before the Holy Grail War began, a man named Mono Qili caused Emiya Kiritsugu to have a great sense of crisis. He always felt as if the other party was his mortal enemy. This idea has been with Kiritsugu for almost all his wars.

And in the past two days, there have been many things in my heart.

LAST NIGHT'S ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE LANCER'S LORD WAS DECLARED A FAILURE. The well-planned plan was ruthlessly shattered by the strong strength of the other party.

IN THE MORNING, WHEN HE RETREATED BACK TO THE MANSION OF INZBEREN, HE SENT THE WHITE-HAIRED SABER TO ROAM THE CITY OF WINTERWOOD IN ORDER TO CONFUSE THE OTHER GROUPS, BUT THE INFORMATION HE RECEIVED FROM HIS WIFE FRUSTRATED HIS PLAN - THE REAL CASTER HAD APPEARED WITH A SWAGGER AND HARASSED THE KNIGHT KING'S PARTY, AND NOW IT WAS BASICALLY LEAKED IN FRONT OF THE VARIOUS MASTER AND SLAVE COMBINATIONS. In this way, Emiya Kiritsugu's plan can be said to have died in the cradle.

Before he could lament the bankruptcy of the plan, he received a call from the Templar Church. As the overseer of the war, the Church's call should have been respected, but Kiritsugu, who sensed that something was wrong from the assassin's anomaly, did not go forward, and simply sent the demons. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION GATHERED BY THE CHURCH, THE REAL CASTER WAS SUMMONED BY A PSYCHOPATHIC MURDERER, AND THE TWO OF THEM WORKED TOGETHER TO COMMIT MANY EVIL ACTS IN FUYUKI CITY. Overseer Yan Fengli is using a spell as a prize to call on everyone to fight against Caster.

Hearing this, Kiritsugu couldn't help but rejoice that his plan had gone bankrupt. After all, if his own backhand is used as a substitute for the dead, it will be a big loss.

Kiritsugu, who was secretly lucky, tried to use technological means to recall the white-haired heroic spirit, and the fact that the other party was proficient in modern equipment can be said to save Kiritsugu a lot of trouble. However, the Heroic Spirit, named Srein, was completely lost, and there was no response from the last call in the early morning until the end of the evening. IT'S NOT THAT EMIYA KIRITSUGU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT FINDING SREIN THROUGH THE SPELL SO AS NOT TO MAKE HIM BE MISTAKEN FOR CASTER BY OTHER SERVANTS, BUT AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT, THE CHURCH'S INFORMATION HAS ALREADY REVEALED CASTER'S APPEARANCE AND APPEARANCE, AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIS SERVANT AND HIS APPEARANCE IS 108,000 MILES, SO HE SHOULD NOT BE MISIDENTIFIED, SO HE RESISTED THE URGE TO RECALL HIM WITH THE SPELL.

Then, what bothered him the most was the problem of another servant.

“。。。。。。 The Master, who was preoccupied with chasing Caster, would never have imagined that they would change from the role of a hunter to the role of a prey. ”

"Master, you're a man...... How despicable do you want to be?! He was interrupted by the Knight King's angry rebuke, "Lord Emiya Kiritsugu, you are insulting the Heroic Spirit. I joined this war to avoid a river of bloodshed. Compete for the Holy Grail, don't shed blood needlessly, minimize sacrifices, and compete here with a man who carries the mission of destiny instead of thousands of troops...... That's what we at Servant do. Why don't you leave the responsibility for going to war to me? The same was true last night when attacking Lancer's Master, who took the wrong step and caused a tragedy. I've made an appointment with Lancer to fight again! You don't have to resort to such despicable means - or do you not trust me as a Servant, or Kiritsuke-sama? ”

Really, seeing the anger, disdain, and incomprehension on the blonde girl's face, Emiya Kiritsugu really had the urge to hold his forehead with his hand at the moment, and he couldn't control it even more. He could only respond to the servant's questioning with silence and coldness, and ignored his wife's worried eyes.

IN HIS OWN PLAN, USE CASTER'S ACT OF DEATH TO KILL THE MASTER WHO HAS RELAXED HIS VIGILANCE IN THE PLACE WHERE HE HAS LOST HIS VIGILANCE, AND USE THE FASTEST WAY TO GET THE ENEMY OUT OF THE FIELD, WHICH IS NOT ONLY EFFICIENT, BUT ALSO CAN REDUCE THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE HEROIC SPIRIT BATTLE. However, this kind of plan came into the mouth of the Knight King, and it became synonymous with despicability and shamelessness. Now that I think about it, maybe a servant named Srein, who can identify with some of his actions and is good at thermal weapons, may be better with himself than the old-fashioned Knight King?

The knot in his heart made Kiritsugu light a cigarette, and the taste of the tobacco made his heart lift a little.

“…… How to deal with the new rules of war proposed by the Overseers? Didn't he want us to enter into a truce with all the enemies except Caster? Alice Fell asked an inconsequential question, but whether she glanced backwards had already fallen into Kiritsugu's eyes, and it was Kuyu Maiya standing in that place.

“。。。” Sighing to himself, Kiritsugu shifted his mind away from his personal emotional issues and psychoanalyzed the Church's connection to the war, "Ignore that new rule. The overseer simply provided compensation for the implementation of the new provisions. There are no penalties for violating this new provision. 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. ”

The nameless fire of the Knight King behind him had almost materialized, and the angry eyes of Emiya Kiritsugu were uneasy, but he still responded with indifference and disregard.

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

After packing up his documents, Emiya Kiritsugu left his seat after Maiya Kuyu, who was the first to act. Before going out, his figure paused slightly, then shook his head imperceptibly and stepped out of the door.

The helplessness and boredom in his heart almost drowned Kiritsugu, and he pulled himself together to find something to do for himself. Calling the intercom, the white-haired Heroic Spirit still didn't respond; Look at the material again? Something so familiar to me that Kiritsugu now feels like throwing up when he sees it. In the end, it can only be alleviated by moving around constantly.

Truth be told, Kiritsugu always felt a voice in his heart calling to him, and he shouted, "Don't care about the Holy Grail War!" Don't care about the blonde-haired knight king or the white-haired heroic spirit! Fast! Right now! Now is the time! Take Alice and Maiya, kill back to Einzberen to rescue her daughter, and the family hides in the Far East, where Einzberen can't reach the whip, and lives quietly! "Kiritsugu had never found this kind of imminent escape to sound so tempting, so beautiful.

And then there's another voice. He just said five words.

"What about your dreams?"

。。。 yes, I can't abandon it after all. I want to save all people, I want to save the world, I want the world to be sacrificed again, I want people to stop having to make that two-man choice.

The two voices clashed in Kiritsugu's mind, disturbing him so much that he couldn't hear the footsteps coming from behind him.

“。。。 Kiritsu. ”

The slightly stern voice of the beloved wife came. Kiritsugu didn't look surprised. Not because he was aware of her presence, but because he knew that she would follow.

And she, living up to expectations, really kept up.

For a moment, the first voice almost filled Kiritsugu's mind.

Not realizing that he was in tears, Kiritsugu hugged his wife in surprise.

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

"Illya...... What if the child is still in the castle? Kiritsugu felt the heart of the man in his arms skip a beat.

"We returned to the castle and took her out. Anyone who stands in our way will be killed. From now on - I will give everything for our family. Use my life to protect you and Illya. ”

The white-haired beautiful woman thought for a long time and punctured Kiritsugu's hypocrisy: "-You are lying. That's impossible. Emiya Kiritsugu, there's no way you're going to escape. ”

After all, did the person who knows himself best break his illusions with his own hands?

Kiritsugu collapsed helplessly in his wife's arms, telling all his fears, and Alice Phil did everything she could to comfort her fragile husband. Unfortunately, it was now in the midst of the Holy Grail War, and the two of them were ruthlessly interrupted by the alarm.

"-Is it already here? Luckily, it arrived before Maiya's departure. Now we can meet the head-on - Alice, get ready for a crystal ball that can look into the distance. "The fragile boy just now is fleeting, and the cold-blooded magician killer has returned.

“。。。 Good. ”
