"That...... Father? No, Ji Feng...... There is no need for you to apologize to us, sir.

Although we do see you as a father, we don't really see you as a father in our hearts...... I'm sorry, I'm a little bit of a bad guy, but we're very grateful and grateful to you, even if you're not our real dad. ”

There was a mixture of apologies, sighs, and regrets in his eyes...... As well as Ji Feng, who was a little self-deprecating, Tosaka Sakura, who was Chu Xuan's adopted daughter, comforted him with a gentle but somewhat reluctant smile, and expressed his gratitude to the three sisters very sincerely.

But what she can really represent is actually only herself, when Emiya Kiritsugu seriously revealed the fact that "Ji Feng is not Chu Xuan", Illya Fil and Karen immediately fell silent, and did not say a word to their "father" Ji Feng at all, his eyes were expressionless, and he didn't know what to think there.

Of course, as a wise man who is extremely good at perceiving people's hearts, Ji Feng has already foreseen this scene. Although Sakura's words were inconsistent, Ji Feng knew exactly what she wanted to express.

These three girls knew very well in their hearts that he was not their father, after all, he and Chu Xuan were only similar on the outside, the more they were in contact, the more they could detect the difference between the two sides, and they were not stupid big sisters, how could they be so careless that they could never notice anything unusual?

But they still really think of him as a father, because they want to believe that the man who looks exactly like their father is their father - and it is because he is not that they ignore everything and want to believe it.

If they don't, they ...... I'm afraid I'll never see my dad again.

- Yes, Ji Feng estimated that the three sisters, whether it was Sakura the smartest, Karen who had the most thoughts, and Illya, who was the most innocent, had already decided in their hearts that their father Chu Xuan would not come back. That's why they're starting the Holy Grail War again. Trying to get Dad back through the power of "miracles", instead of patiently waiting for Dad to come back on his own.

As a reincarnation, Ji Feng naturally knew that entering the "world that has already been experienced" was the same as reading the game save, and it was completely a continuation of the "progress" when he left, so if Chu Xuan wanted to come back, he would have come back ten years ago, even if he had experienced hundreds of millions of years of adventure in other worlds, it would only be a matter of moments for this world.

Illya, Sakura, and Karen don't know this, but they should have guessed something based on their instincts, knowing that their dad might be the same as their mom. Never to come back - if they just waited patiently.

And the appearance of Ji Feng is both hope and despair for them. If Ji Feng is Chu Xuan of the "past" or "future", he naturally doesn't have to think about it, but if Ji Feng is not Chu Xuan, but has the same appearance as Chu Xuan, then the possibility behind this is ......

Even if girls try their best to think about the best, their IQ and their intuition will still calculate the most probable possibility in the background of their brains, right?

- What was it that stumbled their father that he couldn't return to this world himself, but managed to get an imposter who looked exactly like himself back to fill it up!

This is a question that they didn't think of even when they first started. I should have thought about it slowly afterwards. Even if they subconsciously avoid thinking about it, it is because they instinctively feel fear in their hearts, because their intuition already has a premonition that this is a very bad question.

However, Emiya Kiritsugu denied their hopes without any scruples, leaving them with only a rightful despair. Although the power of the Holy Grail can still be counted as their last expectation. But if they really are the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City...... Or if you look forward to the Holy Grail anywhere, you won't feel hopeless at all!

"Although you are not the same person ten years ago, I don't think your presence is just a coincidence. If it's that Chu Xuan...... I don't even think there are words like 'coincidence' or 'chance' in his dictionary.

You should have come with some kind of mission, even if you were born and you didn't know about it. That mission is still there, perhaps before you were born. ”

After a brief silence, Emiya Kiritsugu spoke again calmly but surely. Although he knew that what he said just now had cruelly extinguished the hope of Chu Xuan's "daughters". But he didn't feel too guilty, and now his supplementary analysis is not to comfort the poor girls who "finally" lost their parents.

He had also seen children who were more miserable than Chu Xuan's "daughters", and the tragic fate of some of them was created by his own hands. Although he loves everyone and is a dreamer who wants world peace, he also has the consciousness to kill anyone for this, and is a ruthless realist when it comes to realizing his dreams.

Because he had to! That's all there is to it!

When the "partner of justice" kills the wicked, does he have to consider the tragic fate of his elderly parents who have lost their children, and his children whose age have lost their parents? No! No matter how others exercise justice, at least Emiya Kiritsugu will not let go of such a wicked person who once caused a tragic fate for more innocent people!

Although Chu Xuan is not a villain, and Emiya Kiritsugu is also very sympathetic to the experience of Chu Xuan's "daughters", he will not shy away from the possibility of "something happened to Chu Xuan" because of this. Even in his heart, he had a faint feeling that accepting this possibility was not a bad thing for the three girls - because he and his assistant Kuyu Maiya were Chu Xuan's accomplices in stealing Sakura and Karen, and he knew very well that the sinner who separated Sakura and Karen from their blood relatives was none other than Chu Xuan.

However, he didn't tell the "truth" immediately, just like he didn't expect to turn his face with Chu Xuan because of this incident. He, a guy who can do anything for the justice in his heart, accepted Chu Xuan's employment as a reward for "a certain agreement", and now what he cares about is this belated reward, which is exactly what he just said, and Ji Feng himself doesn't even know about it-

"I worked with Chu Xuan more than ten years ago...... In fact, he was hired by Chu Xuan as a 'magician killer', and he had promised me that he would come back after reaching the 'root' to help me fulfill a wish that even the Holy Grail couldn't fulfill.

The only thing I want to know now is do you have the ability to pay Chu Xuan instead?

In fact, that's what I came about. I originally just thought that you probably had something to do with Chu Xuan, but I didn't expect that you obviously had an extraordinary relationship with him, so I agreed with him that it should be done by you - I think that's why he managed to make you 'coincidentally' appear here at this time.
