Qili pulled the new black key from her blouse and impaled the silver-haired Homercruz's abdomen without hesitation, as casually as if she were cutting cloth.

"Uh-huh......!"

The artificial woman let out a silent cry of grief, and blood flowed backwards from her throat. I see, is it red-Qi Li thought about the boring emotion as she threw her spasmodic body on her hand to the ground.

In short, the key points are avoided. You can do it for about a few minutes before dying of bleeding. Is it to rescue her, or to see death and not to save and pursue Qili. Saber, who is about to arrive, should face both of these forced choices.

At this point, Qili didn't even look at the two dying women, and began to gallop between the trees along the path from which they came.

After a situation is over, there is no room for superfluous consideration. There is no value worth remembering the two women who have just fought to the death.

Despite this, the eyes of the two kept echoing in the running Qili's mind.

That's a real abomination. Their murderous intent is by no means born out of a sense of obligation or professionalism.

The women were not there to protect Einzbelen's victory, but to protect the man of Emiya Kiritsugu. If it's the former, the two of them should be in the castle to cooperate with Kiritsugu to meet the outside enemy. Instead of adopting this steady tactic, they tried to leave Kiritsugu on the defensive.

Away from Emiya Kiritsugu's intentions, he still wants to protect Kiritsugu's will. The obsession with the battle of the impossible to win, the desire to win.

What do those women expect from and entrust to Kiritsugu? In the field where the difference in combat power and the victory rate cannot be explained, what is guarded and implemented.

It makes people so unreasonable to adopt the concept of such foolishness. Qili only knows one.

Belief -

If those two people had "faith" in the character of Emiya Kiritsugu to assist him, then their stupidity would all make sense. However, in the end, it raises a major question.

Women tend to be selfish creatures. Only these two women fully affirm and understand "him". The two of them sacrificed themselves for "him" to be true.

In other words, is the character of Emiya Kiritsugu an existence that is affirmed and understood by others?

"Impossible ......"

A moan-like muttering came out of her throat.

That is a contradiction that can never arise.

A complete subversion of the expectations and premonitions of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya is supposed to be a man of nothingness. It should be someone who still hasn't found a reason to fight at the end of nothingness. That's why Qili will look forward to it. I think that in the heart of Emiya Kiritsugu, in that way of life, there should be an answer that I am looking for.

To do that, Kiritsugu had to be alone. He must not be understood and affirmed by anyone, and he must be the master of a soul isolated from the world in order to do it—just like Yan Feng Qili.

Qili threw away the swollen doubts in her heart, as if she wanted to escape from that thought, and ran alone through the forest gritting her teeth.

……

"Let's just wait here." Li Amen said suddenly.

"Wait here? Aren't we leaving? Ryunosuke was surprised.

"Aren't we already leaving?" Li Amen smiled, "The so-called departure." It's a different thing than going straight home with us. ”

"......" Ryunosuke opened his mouth, not knowing why.

"Wait a minute. That man will come, and I want to see him. Li Amen said.

"See whom? Could it be that Kenneth? Ryunosuke wondered.

"It's not. Kenneth is gone, and there's no need to see each other again. "What I'm going to see is—"

……

Yan Feng Qili looked at the two people who suddenly blocked his way out. I couldn't help but show a wary expression.

He recognized one of them as Caster. And the other, if you didn't guess wrong, might be Caster's Master.

"Yan Feng Qili, don't be confused, we are here to find you." Amen Li laughed.

Yan Feng Qili said indifferently: "What's the matter with me?" ”

Sure enough, in the face of someone who was not Emiya Kiritsu, or someone related to it, Yan Feng Qili had almost no expression, and his mood did not fluctuate at all.

Even if. He had been confused by the performance of the two women beside Kiritsugu a moment before, but now he immediately regained his composure.

This kind of speech is even more terrifying. That's why Kiritsu, as well as his two women, are jealous, and Li Amen has to come to see him.

"I heard you like mapo tofu?" Li Amen said inexplicably.

Yan Feng Qili's expression seemed to be a hint of surprise, and said, "Yes." Any questions? ”

Li Amen knew that on the surface, Yan Feng Qili was simply answering questions, but in fact, Yan Feng Qili might have been ready for all battles.

This guy who is so cold that he doesn't look like a human anymore will not be moved by many foreign affairs at all, everything is calculated coldly.

Because the Li Amen and Ryunosuke in front of him were not the real goals that Yan Feng Qili was chasing, otherwise he would not have had this attitude in the first place.

However, the mapo tofu mentioned by Li Amen is indeed something that Yan Feng Qili rarely likes, so it makes Qili's attitude towards Li Amen finally become serious.

"Anyone who likes mapo tofu is not a bad person, and neither are you, Qili!" Li Amen said kindly.

Yan Feng Qili was also at a loss for a while, not knowing what the purpose of the person in front of him was.

Qili doesn't know what kind of person he is, isn't he really a bad person?

Finally, Li Amen in front of him put Yan Feng Qili in a position second only to Emiya Kiritsu.

Qili had a feeling that the person in front of her seemed to really know herself.

Qili wanted to know that the person in front of her had an evaluation of herself, and how it would help her to pursue something.

There are some things that don't need to be said to be able to be conveyed.

Although Qili was silent, there was actually a feeling that Li Amen was allowed to continue.

Li Amen seemed to see Qili's mood, and said directly: "Do you know why the Holy Grail chose you? Gift! ”

Qili was shocked. This is the last thing he understands, and it is where he is really confused.

Everyone else has a reason to pursue the Holy Grail, but he is the only one who has been chosen by the Holy Grail for no apparent reason.

But. Qili knew that he didn't care about the Holy Grail at all.

Qili's heart seemed to be empty, as if nothing existed.

Wishes never existed in his heart.

"Tell me!" For the first time, Qili was really moved in front of Li Amen, "Please tell me the answer!" ”

Li Amen smiled: "Naturally. Although I won't say the answer, you will understand it sooner or later. But - I can tell you right now. I'll tell you, why did the Holy Grail choose you? will also tell you. What do you really want? ”

Qili showed a serious listening expression, and her mind to fight was completely relaxed.

Being able to tell himself what he really wants, Qili will not have any will to fight against such a person.

"Qili, you've been confused about yourself. I don't know what I want. I don't know where my future lies. You live as if you don't have any purpose. So, you care a lot about Emiya Kiritsugu, and you want to know what the person who seems to be similar to you, what that person is thinking, and why he is pursuing the Holy Grail. You feel that when you can understand this, you will understand what you really care about. Is that so? Li Amen did not answer directly, but said something else.

Qili had a confused expression. "Yes." But—"

"However, you were surprised by the person of Emiya Kiritsugu...... I am surprised that this person, who is supposed to be as empty and lonely as you, will be understood by others, and is willing to do everything to protect him. So after knowing this, you are confused again, so you want to hear my answer, right? ”

That's true, exactly! There has never been a moment when Qili felt the fire in her heart like now.

He finally understood that the answer he was looking for should be right in front of him.

The person in front of him will definitely tell him the real answer.

"Anyway, please tell me the answer." Qili said with a fanatical expression.

With this fanatical expression, Ryunosuke finally smiled at Kiri for the first time and identified with this person.

Originally, for Ryunosuke, it was impossible to understand why Li Amen cared so much about Qili.

And now, Ryunosuke understands. In another sense, Kiri is the same person as Ryunosuke, but they pursue different goals.

Regarding Qili's fanaticism, Li Amen nodded and said: "The real answer is actually in your heart for a long time. Why you should pursue the answer is actually the answer you want. ”

Qili was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" I don't understand. ”

Li Amen shook his head and sighed: "Confused people, why don't you understand. The process by which you pursue the answer is what you really want. It is precisely because of confusion that we have to pursue answers. You don't care about the answer at all, you just want this process of pursuit, use this process to fill the confusion in your heart. ”

Qili was shocked in her heart, and felt that she understood something, she seemed to be really such a person?

"Well, then, the Holy Grail chose me—" he cried.

Li Amen nodded and said, "That's right, because you need answers, and you need a process to seek answers, so the Holy Grail responds to you who are confused." ”

Qili's expression changed, and she said to herself, "Is this what I really want?" Is this what Archer calls pleasure? No, there seems to be something wrong. ”

Looking at Qili in confusion, Li Amen sighed in his heart. What he said was not a fool, but what he really thought.

He believes that this is what Qili is really pursuing. On the contrary, what Archer said was pleasure was taken into the ditch. That's just a twist that takes Qili from one extreme to the other.

In the original plot, Qili realized why the Holy Grail chose him because of the evil of this world. He thinks that it is not that he needs the Holy Grail, but that the Holy Grail needs him.

In fact, this view is quite one-sided in Lee's view.

The Holy Grail and the evil of this world are not the same thing at all, and although the evil of this world can control some of the powers of the Holy Grail, it is not the Holy Grail itself.

The Holy Grail chose the Rites, but the evils of this world also chose the Rites, and that's just the case.

It's true that the evils of this world need to be honored.

However, it is also true that the Holy Grail is instinctively needed.

The Qili in the original plot has just been distorted and only sees one side of things.

Seeing that his expression became more and more determined, and he seemed to have rediscovered his own Qili, Li Amen nodded and smiled: "It seems that you have understood something?" ”

For the first time, Qili showed a genuine smile and said, "No, I don't understand. (To be continued......)
