Act-23

"Shi Chen, Shi Chen, why are you kneeling on the ground? Did something happen? After Jiang Tian and the others left, Aoi Tosaka regained consciousness, but at the first glance of regaining consciousness, he saw his husband kneeling on the ground in despair.

"Aoi, it's nothing, it's just...... I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first. Tosaka Tokitomi sighed and wanted to say something, but when he saw the concern on Aoi's face, he couldn't say anything.

……

The next day, Emiya House.

"What did you say?" Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the Girl Knight King in front of him in a daze, and the words of the Girl Knight King just now made his worldview, and even the belief that he had insisted on since he began to prepare for the Holy Grail War, collapse.

"How is this possible! Could it be that this is the trick of fate? ”

"Saber, are you telling the truth? Is it possible that you heard it wrong. Alice Phil looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with concern, and raised the question for Emiya Kiritsugu.

"It's true, there's no need for that person to lie to us." Artoria nodded solemnly, and she continued, "And, he claims to be a natural grail!" Yesterday, when I met him again, he said that as the Holy Grail Cup, it was immediately clear that there was something wrong with the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki City. ”

Artoria's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a little loneliness in her tone: "He said that the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki is not a universal wishing machine at all, just a ...... It's just a world-destroying weapon full of destruction and evil thoughts. ”

"Annihilation...... Weapons! Emiya Kiritsugu collapsed to the ground weakly, his eyes gradually losing focus, as if his whole spirit had also disappeared.

"That's not right!" Suddenly, his eyes instantly regained their brilliance, and he suddenly looked at Artoria, "You say, he claims to be a natural grail, so his ability to make a wish is not polluted, it can be realized, right?" ”

Artoria nodded slowly, and then shook her head slowly, she said: "He said that if you just want to become a billionaire, you can easily achieve it, but if you want to save the world, then give up as soon as possible."

He said that this world no longer needs to be saved. It is precisely because of this that the two of them who have just saved the world will come to this world. ”

Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly became excited, and he said in a loud voice, "Don't need to be saved? Are you kidding? It is full of war, death, oppression, helplessness, despair...... Countless people die every day because of this, what about them? Are they not qualified to be saved when they are dead? And those who are alive, those who live in daily suffering, are not saved...... Chance! ”

"That's what I asked him!" Artoria sighed, "That's what I asked him, and he said that the past has become history, the cornerstone of what the world is now. And now, as long as we hold on to hope, we will not fall into the abyss of despair.

He said that all the helplessness and despair are only caused by the lack of ability of the person concerned. This...... Can't blame anyone else!

He said that if, in a desperate situation, he will only passively wait for others to save him, then such a person ...... It's not a pity to die! ”

As she spoke, Artoria grew frustrated. Because, the latter words, Jiang Tian deliberately said to her, "Your country should be destroyed!" The kind of country that will only wait for the Holy King to appear, and will only put all the baggage on a little girl, even if it survives that crisis, it will definitely not survive the next time. How much can you be capable of alone? ”

"Kiritsugu, don't be upset just yet, maybe there's another way, right?" Ellie softly comforted Kiritsugu Emiya, then turned to Artoria, who motioned with her eyes to say something else.

Artoria nodded her head to show that she understood, and continued, "So, give up, give up your unrealistic wish, Kiritsu. Accompany Aili, peace, stability, and happiness to spend the second half of your life.

I know, you actually have a part of your heart, you don't want to make Ellie a holy grail, sacrificed, right? ”

"I ...... I see. Emiya Kiritsugu nodded slowly, and he finally asked, "You, have you given up your wish for this?" Saber。 ”

Artoria's eyes flashed, she sighed, and said helplessly: "He said that my country has brought suffering to his country. So, even if he can fulfill my wish, he will never do it. ”

"yes, I see. What a patriotic-minded person. The focus on Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes faded again, and the pitch-black, godless eyes made him look like a dead corpse at the moment.

"No wonder, he won't grant our wish!"

Artoria nodded bitterly, she still didn't say a word to Emiya Kiritsugu, at that time, when she left, that person also said the last word, "Devouring the country that my ancestors grew up in flesh and blood, I didn't beat them back to their original form like Jiang Tian in another world, which is already the greatest mercy." ”

He called, ruined the wishes and dreams of others, called, O mercy!

"Saber, ...... How do we explain to the head of the castle? Alice Phil didn't expect Artoria to say this, although it was a small wish in her heart, but more important than this small wish, it was Kiritsugu's desire to save the world.

Artoria explained, "My existence is now limited to the magic of Kiritsugu and Erie, and I no longer need to participate in the Holy Grail War to exist in this world. So, if the head of the house wants to deal with you, I think I can help too.

Ellie, don't you want to spend the rest of your life happily and ordinarily with Illya and Kiritsugu? ”

Alice Phil said excitedly: "Yes! Of course I do! I don't want to escape from this shackle called the Holy Grail all the time, and I travel the world with Kiritsugu Illya to see the scenery outside! But...... Kiritsugu's desire to save the world is, more importantly. In the face of this wish, my little wish is insignificant! ”

"Whew." Artoria took a deep breath, she patted Alice Field's shoulder, and said firmly, "Ellie, in this world, any desire for happiness should not be humble! I didn't want to praise the bastard, but he was right about one thing.

Ellie, only love and hope, not to be disappointed! Especially a simple and noble wish like yours, which is the jewel of countless human desires! ”

"Only love and hope...... Can't be disappointed? Alice Phil muttered this in a low voice, and slowly moved her gaze to the blank eyes of Emiya Kiritsugu, and let out an incomprehensible sigh.
