Chapter 87: The Final Chapter
The Holy Grail War has ended, and although it has caused great losses, the aftermath has nothing to do with Artoria.
Walking alone on the street, looking at the panicked people, Artoria was a little helpless, because it could be said that it was directly related to her.
However, she didn't have too much self-blame, after all, the black mud was not something she could control.
Walking slowly on the way to the orange shop, Artoria had a rare heart to look at the city that had just experienced the catastrophe, and now that everything was over, she had a different feeling.
After knocking on the door of the orange shop, looking at the orange-haired beauty, Artoria hurriedly asked, "How?"
"It's going to be a few more days. Orange said, then looked at Artoria, who looked a little tired, and asked, "It seems that the war is over." ”
"Hmm. Artoria nodded.
"Then congratulations on your victory. Orange said with a smile. Then he said with some curiosity: "What does the Holy Grail look like?"
"It's not a pretty thing, the fire outside is caused by the Holy Grail. Artoria said.
"Oh, that's a surprise, after all, it's the legendary all-powerful wishing machine. Orange said in surprise.
"Don't talk about that, do you have any means to help me replenish my mana? I'm running out of mana, but I can't leave yet. Artoria asked, feeling what little magic was left in her body.
She has to exist, not only Alice Phil, but if she wants to get rid of the shackles of the Valhalla Throne, she must return to her body, and if she returns, she doesn't know when her next chance will be.
And the magic power in her body can't last long, it would be good if it could support her to return to Millennium City, but it was obviously impossible.
"Yes. Orange thought for a while and said, "For example, eating a lot of food, such as sleeping to reduce the consumption of the body, you can do it." ”
Orange stabbed his slender fingers, and then said with a hint of evil taste: "Of course, the most effective way is to replenish the magic, which is a trouble-saving and efficient way, and you can replenish a lot of magic power at one time." ”
Artoria's face immediately darkened, how could she not hear that Orange was joking with her, but she had always hated such jokes, and even when she heard such topics, she would feel quite unhappy, even if the other party was telling the truth.
It was indeed the most efficient and convenient way to replenish demons, but it was clear that Artoria would not be able to do so.
"I'm going to refill the food, and then I'm going to go into hibernation, and when I can start, you're waking me up. Artoria didn't want to continue the conversation, and after ending the conversation, she turned away from the orange shop, where she was looking for food.
Artoria had been eating that night, and the magic contained in the food was very small, and the only way to sustain the rest of the consumption was to eat a lot of food. Although the owner of the buffet was about to kneel for her, Artoria could only silently say sorry, and then continued to stack the dishes on the table.
It was almost early in the morning, and Artoria finally left in the boss's loveless eyes, but there was no abnormal lower abdomen, and it did not show the same as before.
Back in the orange shop, Artoria lay down and went into hibernation mode, trying to save as much magic as possible.
Time passed slowly, and after I don't know how long it was, Artoria, who was in deep thought, was suddenly awakened to consciousness by a confused voice outside.
"Leah, Leah....."
It was a very familiar voice, Artoria slowly opened her eyes, and her somewhat confused consciousness slowly woke up, looking at the person in front of her.
"Ellie. After seeing it clearly, a gentle smile bloomed at the corner of Artoria's mouth, and she said softly.
"Thank you. Alice Fell hugged Artoria tightly and said softly.
"No thanks. Artoria shook her head and asked, "How does your new body feel?"
"It's even better than it used to be, Leah don't worry. Alice Fell said with a smile, then let go of Artoria and sat up straight.
"That's good. Hearing this, Artoria was finally relieved.
"By the way, what about Kiritsugu, have you won? What about the Holy Grail?" asked Alice Phil urgently.
Hearing this, Artoria had no choice but to tell the cause and effect of the incident, and she knew that this was a huge blow to Alice Phil. After all, what you want to get with your life is such an evil existence.
"Kiritsugu should still be in this city at this time, and most of them will stay in the previous stronghold, and when I send you back, we should also say goodbye. Artoria said softly.
"Is Artoria leaving?" Hearing this, Alice Fell was a little sad, after all, she already had a deep feeling.
"Don't worry, we will definitely meet in the future. Artoria is not sad, if it goes well, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future.
"Wait, but what about the child? If you don't go back with the Holy Grail, you'll never see a child again. Suddenly, Alice Fell said sadly.
Artoria knew which girl named Illya was, and Alice Fell was the only one who couldn't rest assured, after all, if she didn't bring the Holy Grail, I'm afraid she wouldn't even open the door to Einzbelen.
And that means they'll never see each other again.
"I'll go with you and get the kid out. Artoria said nonchalantly. For Alice Phil, she is like a behemoth, but in her eyes, it is nothing, if the other party does not cooperate, it is a big deal to use force to solve it.
Listening to Artoria's words, Alice Fell did not refuse, although this trip may bring disaster to Einzbelen, but she does not have too deep feelings for this place where she grew up, saying that home is actually similar to a cage, and the only concern among them is her daughter.
Now that the Holy Grail is gone, there will be no regrets about freeing Illya from her cage.
Without staying too long, Artoria set off with Alice Phil, and after a long rest, plus a large amount of replenishment before, Artoria's magic was still quite abundant at this time. Originally, it was intended to be used to return to Millennium City, but now it can only be said that Alice Phil's affairs are completed.
.........................................
"Then leave it at that. Standing at the gate of Emiya's house, Artoria smiled and said to Alice Fell and Illya, who was standing beside her.
"Thank you, Leah, I've said it many times, but in the end I want to say that I was the greatest luck to meet you. Alice Phil thanked from the bottom of her heart.
Because of Artoria, her life has changed dramatically, and it is no longer a tragic fate, which makes her not moved.
"Illya also wants to thank her sister for being able to protect her mother and Kiritsu. The little girl next to her also said weakly.
She had been terrified of not seeing her parents all these days, and it was not until not long ago that Artoria took Alice Phil and broke down the door of Einzberen and appeared in front of her.
"I see, then..... Good bye. Artoria smiled and accepted their thanks, then turned away without hesitation.
She didn't want to see Emiya Kiritsugu, although there was a high probability that she would be able to see the embarrassed side of that cold man at this time. However, Artoria was not interested, so she only sent the two to the door and chose to leave.
"We'll be meeting again. Seeing Artoria's back disappear into the distance, Alice Fell took Illya's little hand and entered the house, where they would start a new life.
..............................................
Millennium City
White, she raised her head in a trance and stared at the sky.
His whole body was tightly wrapped in chains, and he was bound to the jade throne like a prisoner.
The passage of time has no meaning here, as an immortal, time is only a kind of torture, the most cruel torture.
However, it's not completely sad, because there is still a place to think about, there are dreams to do, and there is a place to miss, then it is a kind of happiness.
It's much better than the previous object that didn't speak, didn't have an object to see, and didn't even have an object of longing.
After all, wouldn't it be too sad if you didn't even have a memory?
"Elquette ....."
A soft cry brought back Shirahime's thoughts.
Looking ahead in disbelief, the familiar voice and the blue figure were telling her the truth of all this.
"I'm back.," Artoria whispered with a smile on her lips.
In an instant, Elquit's face was overflowing with happy smiles, and this lifeless castle seemed to be showing its vitality like spring flowers at this moment.
"Ah, welcome back......."
