Chapter 59: The Turning Point
Night, Wei Palace
Nuoda's mansion is not popular at the moment. The warm lights of the past and the laughter of friends have been replaced by this cold night.
"Uh......" Emiya finally didn't keep up with Rin's footsteps, and he was already scarred, and walked into his home alone.
"The number you are calling is not in the service area." Emiya called Kamiya again, but there was still no response.
"The memories of ten years ago, the last words left by my father, even if I went wrong from the beginning, this path is completely right." Emiya sat at the table in the hall, pondering.
"In order not to make that incident a mere sad past, I decided to be a partner in justice."
"To make everyone happy, to stop everyone from crying, I had this ideal ten years ago, and since that is the case...... Then what I should do is already ......"
"I didn't fight because I had the spell, but because I believed it was something I was capable of doing and had to do.
Just when Wei Gong was thinking about life, the early morning sun had already shone into the hall, reflecting three figures, one large and one small.
"Hey~~~~~" The contemplative Emiya was pushed down.
"Huh? …… Eh!!!!! ”
"What's wrong? Surprised to see both of us? ”
"When! Of course!!! She...... She ...... "Emiya stumbled when he spoke excitedly.
"Illya will also act with us in the future."
"Please take care of it, Shirou~~~~~~" Illya bowed slightly.
"This ...... What the hell is this ......" Wei Gong looked at the two of them with a confused expression.
"Don't expect Berserker, even Illya needs us to protect her now."
"What's going on?" Emiya asked.
"Berserker was defeated by a golden guy............ "Ueya told Emiya about the cause and effect.
"That's right...... But the other party can just let you go like this, it's really generous......" Emiya sighed.
"Well, but I still don't understand why the other party didn't kill us all, it's obviously unreasonable, but that's how they left, right~~~Illya~~~~" Kamiya turned his head to look at Illya.
"Well, they're gone after killing Berserker." Illya repeated the excuse she had thought of before.
"Anyway, what about Sakura?" Ueya looked around, and there was no Sakura busy anywhere.
"...... here," Emiya noticed a note on the table.
"I've got to go home beforehand—Sakura." Emiya read the note.
"That's right, Sakura is fine." Kamiya breathed a sigh of relief.
"That...... Kamiya, why can't your phone get through? "Finally get together again, in order not to repeat the reality of yesterday's powerlessness, Emiya decided to grab his friends well.
"Phone? Thank God my life is still here, what more ~~~~~ bike," Kamiya smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Yes......" Emiya sighed as well.
"What about Tosaka? We're in a pot of porridge here, how are you there? Kamiya turned his head to look at Emiya.
"It's not going to be good here...... Saber was taken away, and Tosaka went after Caster alone...... "Emiya also picked and chose to tell Kamiya about the situation here.
"That's right...... Caster is really a good job......" Kamiya sighed.
"You...... Don't blame me? Emiya looked at Kamiya in surprise.
"To say nothing...... That's really impossible, but there is no way to make that choice...... That's the reality......" Ueya patted Emiya's shoulder in understanding.
Guardian Palace, in the courtyard
Sitting in the courtyard, Illya did not listen to the conversation between the two, but leaned against the cloister and watched them quietly.
"Do this...... Is it really good...... Just follow him...... Wouldn't that really get him in trouble? Looking at the figure in the distance, the pure white girl fell into memory.
The sound of the dripping rain gradually came into her mind, and the scene in front of her gradually became clear, and the girl just raised her head and met a concerned gaze.
"Illya......" The person on the other side called to him softly.
"Big ...... The elder brother ...... his hand, which was a little sore from the pressure, unconsciously rubbed his blurred eyes.
However, he looked at himself so gently, and after a while, he was actually a little panicked in his heart.
"That...... Thirsty? "I tried my best to express my concern and kindness, but I didn't always say what I wanted.
"Thank you." He shook his head slightly.
"........................" searched his stomach for a long time, but he couldn't find something to say to him.
"Can you tell me what happened after I was knocked down now? Because we are likely to play them again in the future, and maybe they are looking for us now, so I want to understand the current situation. ”
"This ...... Is it important? "He didn't even care about himself first! Although I was very dissatisfied in my heart, I unconsciously said such an inconsequential thing, which is really ...... It's a shame.
"Of course~~~~~ staying alive now is the number one priority." On the other side, he still cared about his opponent so much, as if he didn't notice himself at all.
"But why should he care about himself~~~~ It's really ~~~~~~" sorted out his thoughts, and decided to make some editing of things.
"He won't believe those things that are too shocking, and he looks ignorant~~~~"
Thinking so, I told him what had been edited.
"They...... And so it went??? He was clearly not convinced.
"Yes." He nodded so surely, he would have believed it.
“…… They just let us go...... It's incredible...... he believed, but his own willfulness seemed to interfere with his judgment, but there was nothing he could do.
"In that case, tomorrow I want to go back to Senior Weigong's house to have a look, if it's safe here, you might as well stay here."
"What is the big brother going to do there?"
"Because my big brother's friend is still there~~~~~~ I'm afraid she'll be affected......"
"She? Is Big Brother's friend a girl? "It's a woman...... But why did I suddenly panic.
"Well, it's a very weak girl, if you face that golden guy, you'll be killed in seconds~~~~~ so the big brother wants to go back to see her and send her to a safe place." Although he spoke in a gentle tone, a deep sense of unhappiness welled up in his heart when he heard that he cared about others.
"Then I'll go with me, I'm a magician, and I can protect her when it's critical." Although I said so, I still wanted to find an opportunity to pull out the soul of that "very weak girl" and stuff it into the doll~~~~ and then find a reason to perfunctory it~~~~~
"Well~~~~ then please." His smile is still in my mind.
