Chapter 6: The War Begins
"Are you leaving? Kiritsugu and Mom. On the silver-white snow, Illya asked Emiya Kiritsugu with scarlet eyes, even though she maintained the joy of a child on the surface, but the sadness hidden in the depths was still captured by Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Illya, do you already know everything?"
"Well, Illya also heard about it from her mother, saying that it was an eternal parting or something. ”
The daughter's unmistakable answer gave Kiritsugu what can be said to be a fatal last weight, and his knees walking on the snow suddenly lost his strength. The wife has already realized and given her daughter the same enlightenment, so how can she face her daughter, she wants to take her mother away forever.
Even if it is a cold-blooded executioner, there is a soft place in the heart, although Emiya Kiritsugu is defined by the outside world as an emotionless magician killer, but he also has something he loves deeply, although most of these things that he loves are painful, but they are also the most precious treasures that he can't give up.
Isn't this petite girl in front of him his most precious treasure?
Holding Illya tightly in his arms, Emiya Kiritsugu tried to calm his emotions and asked softly, "So can Illya keep our agreement, waiting for Daddy to come back?"
"Well, Illya will obediently wait for Mommy and Dad to come back. Illyas Fell nodded with wide eyes.
When Emiya Kiritsugu heard this, his heart suddenly ached, and he looked at Illya's innocent face, how to tell her that it was too cruel for her.
Alice Phil, who was on the side, had already turned her face away, turning her back to Illya for fear of being seen by the other party.
Artoria stood aside, silent. She felt an ominous sense from the performances of Alice Phil and Emiya Kiritsugu, but she didn't know what it was, and Emiya Kiritsugu would never be able to say it to her, not mentioning Emiya Kiritsugu's dissatisfaction with her, even if she was a Servant, she had lost the qualification to communicate on an equal footing.
And Alice Phil, Artoria turned around and looked at Alice Phil's somewhat uncontrollable emotions, knowing that this ominous premonition was mostly from her, and with her personality, she couldn't tell herself.
At this moment, Artoria felt that perhaps the only thing she could do was to protect them with her sword.
"No matter how painful it is, you can't shed tears. Holding Illya tightly, Emiya Kiritsugu said with a little trembling.
"Of course, because Illya has grown up. Laughing, Illya swore an oath. Then he looked at Emiya Kiritsugu a little harshly: "So, if Illya is obedient, will Kiritsugu and his mother come back soon?"
"Well, of course, Dad and Illya have made an agreement. ”
Emiya Kiritsuke said with a smile, then stood up, looked at Artoria and Alice Phil who were standing behind him, came to the front and looked at Alice Phil and whispered, "Then I'll go first, where will I wait for you." ”
"Well, go ahead. Alice Phil, who seemed to have adjusted her emotions, replied with a smile.
"Ellie is up to you, Saber. Seeming a little uneasy, he admonished Artoria again.
"Don't worry, Master. ”
...........................................
Emiya Kiritsugu was gone, and after telling Artoria, he left the castle as if he were running away, perhaps he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave after seeing Illya's lovely smile.
With the departure of Emiya Kiritsugu, only Artoria and Ilia are left on the field, which makes the scene as cold as the environment of Einzberen.
"That's... Well, are you Kiritsu's servant, servantsaber?" Perhaps a little timid, Illya asked the girl with a slight trill, but there was an incomparable determination in her scarlet eyes.
Nodding slightly, Artoria didn't know what the little silver-haired girl was trying to say, or was it just a greeting?
"That's... So, please... Please be sure to protect Kiritsugu and her mother," Illya exclaimed nervously but firmly, "Otherwise, Illya will not let you go!"
Looking at the little girl who pretended to be strong in surprise, Artoria couldn't help but feel a little funny, but that kind of innocence made the girl very emotional.
"As a servant, it's my job to protect the Master, isn't it?"
With a chuckle, Artoria said, looking at the strength of the little girl, Artoria was really a little emotional.
Illya finally smiled happily when she heard this, looking at that little smile, this may be the purest thing in the world.

In an unknown warehouse, three extremely horrific corpses were lying on the ground, and the blood was piercing with it. Curled up in the corner, still alive - the little boy who was gagged and tied up with a rope, his weeping eyes staring at the wreckage of his sister and parents, his heart full of fear and despair.
On the other side, a magic circle has quietly formed, and if there is a magician here, he will definitely exclaim: Heroic Spirit Summoning!
"—I ask you"
From the thick fog came a soft, uncanny sound, and the wind stopped imperceptibly. The magic circle that had been glowing just now had dimmed, and the blood on the bed had turned black and dried up as if it had been burned. Then, in the thin mist, the man who had just spoken suddenly appeared in front of the summoner, Ryunosuke.
A smooth, youthful-looking face, with large eyes and smooth cheeks that rotated flexibly, and a brown face that matched him, reminded Ryunosuke of Munch's paintings. His costume is also peculiar. Dressed in a wide robe and adorned with a large amount of extravagant precious metal jewelry, the slender body is dressed like the "Dark Magician" that appeared in the comics.
"Plead me, call me, summoner who makes me appear in this world as a Caster...... Answer me, who are you?"
............................................
"The war has begun!" Looking at the instructions on the spirit weapon plate, Yan Fengli said slowly.
"Yes, all seven Servants have come to the real world," Shi Chen on the side said lightly while maintaining his aristocratic pampered character, but the indescribable monstrous excitement in his heart was best known only to himself.
"Has the game begun?" said a man with blond hair and golden armor who sat at the top. "Let's hope those chops give me a bit of fun!"
