――3 months——

In an ancient and calm cemetery, the sound of machinery in the blue sky opened a cloud of smoke, and the sun lit up with the crisp and pleasant wind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But no matter how glorious the sun is, the air here is always filled with a heavy sense of peace.

A man in a black coat dragged two huge suitcases and quietly walked to a tombstone.

[Wife: Einsfeld von Einzbelen]

Kiritsugu sighed and sat down slowly, looking at the tombstone for a long time. There were many emotions in his eyes—tenderness, sadness, love.

"I miss you so much."

As soon as he said this, Emiya Kiritsugu's heart felt like he had been stabbed with a knife. That knife was exactly what he had done in the past.

Every time he came here, the voices of despair were heard endlessly, and Kiritsugu had never erected a tombstone for any of his loved ones, and this tombstone was not so much for him as for Illya.

He was not qualified to erect tombstones for them, for whenever his cherished life, and countless other lives of unknown lives, were placed on the left and right of the scales at the same time, he always discarded them equally.

It was Kiritsugu who put to death those he held dear.

"I have done it now, just as I promised you, and stand in front of that child like an ordinary father."

Ten years ago, he and his wife went to their deaths to save the world, but in the end they only paid a great sacrifice in vain.

"I know you're different now, but—" Kiritsugu's throat was a little dry, and he looked up, "But I must do it, you know, not to protect the world anymore, but just for our daughter." ”

He stood up, looked at the stone quietly, and whispered, "Even if I want to kill you with my own hands again." ”

This blood-soaked statement is exactly what he has made up his mind.

He once loved her more than anyone else in the world, and he would protect her even if the world perished, and if there was a chance that she could be resurrected, he was willing to be the enemy of the world.

But Kiritsugu knew better that if he needed to make an enemy of her, he would make that cruel decision.

After saying this, he dragged two boxes and got up and left, both of which were full of all kinds of modern weapons, human mines, machine guns, grenades, bayonets, night vision devices, bugs......

The sight in his eyes, burning coldly, conveyed a wordless perseverance.

Footsteps, guided by memory-

***************************************************************

"Emiya Kiritsugu, don't waste time. Do you think you can fight us without the Heroic Spirit? ”

There was no response, the air was unusually quiet, and Angelica's provocation had no effect.

“…… Is it all so sluggish in the end, or is it a lack of intelligence? We are not the magicians you killed before, and you have no chance of winning against our magic. ”

Angelica sighed contemptuously and walked forward with heavy steps.

Just as she was turning the corner of the dimly lit hallway, the expensive carpet under the carpet in the hallway on the other side suddenly burst open with a loud roar. But it wasn't pieces of cloth that flew out of the explosion, but countless metal beads that flew like bullets towards Angelica.

IT'S A PURELY SCIENTIFIC PRODUCT, A MAN-TO-MAN MINE KNOWN AS CLAYMORE, A BRUTAL SETTING BOMB. When the bomb explodes, it will release more than 700 steel balls with a diameter of about one or two millimeters. All of these balls are fired in a fan-shaped pattern, and it is said that this is a terrifying weapon invented to destroy the infantry group in one blow. At the time of its explosion, everything present will not even have time to escape, and the targets in the center will only be beaten into a sieve.

Even Angelica, who doesn't know much about military weapons, understands that this is Emiya Kiritsugu's method. She had already prepared, and this was also one of her self-confidence, what weapons would be used by Emiya Kiritsugu, a traitor, and even his trump card was the "Origin Bullet", she also knew something.

THE MOMENT THE STEEL BALL SHOT TO ANGELICA'S SIDE, SHE WAS COMPLETELY COVERED BY A LARGE GOLDEN SHIELD IN FRONT OF HER, AND THE RAIN OF BULLETS EMITTED BY THE CLAYMORE MINE DID NOT HIT ANGELICA EVEN A SINGLE SHOT, BUT ALL OF THEM WERE BOUNCED BACK TO ALL PARTS OF THE CITY'S FACILITIES.

This is the shield of Aeneas, the treasure of the "King's Treasury", which Angelica is proud of. No amount of bullet could penetrate this shield.

Unfortunately, some of the Noble Phantasms inside cannot be used, and even though the power of the Holy Grail can be used to make Angelica "become" a "Pseudo-Heroic Spirit", some of the Noble Phantasms inside have denied her identity. If I can use the "Supreme Treasure...... Einzberen doesn't need to choose to plan carefully and carefully.

However, in Angelica's opinion, it is more than enough to deal with Emiya Kiritsugu and ordinary Heroic Spirits, and the Origin Bullet will not work on the Noble Phantasm. If Emiya Kiritsugu wants to exert the power of the Origin Bullet, he must not hit his own flesh directly.

"Huh!?"

Angelica looked back, only to see that the other party had already appeared behind her, and before she could use the Noble Phantasm to shoot the barrage, Kiritsugu had pulled out a short machine gun from the holster in her waist and started shooting. Aeneas's shield immediately moved in front of Angelica, blocking all of 9ram's bullet raindown.

"Kill him!"

Before all 50 rounds of ammunition were fired, the King's Treasury had already shot three swords and flew towards the prey in front of him.

"Timealter-doubleaccel"

With the incantation, the magic in Kiritsugu's body began to surge rapidly.

His swift action saved his life, the blade of the lightning swept sharply across where he had been, and the Noble Phantasm shot with the power of a grenade explosion. Emiya Kiritsugu had seen such a treasure before, and it was almost impossible to resist it.

"Hmph, is there still a little magic? It's useless to hide and buy time. ”

A sadistic smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, and Angelica chased after her. Berserker, who had no reason or ability to seek the enemy, was already outside the castle, and the rat was already unable to fly, and she began to report the situation to Darius.

"Yes, he's been driven to the third floor, I'm ...... now"

Whew――

Suddenly, the faint and almost negligible sound coming from the vase in the aisle was picked up by Angelica.

"Gas!?"

Even though the lighting was completely destroyed by Emiya Kiritsugu, Angelica still relied on magic-enhanced vision to see the green gas rushing out of the vase, and Angelica, who judged that it was a highly toxic gas, immediately stepped back to the upper wind to avoid inhaling the poisonous gas.

"- Idiot, boring little trick."

But just as Angelica stepped back, the wall around her suddenly exploded.
