Yan Feng Qili was left alone in the church, thinking about her future.

Tonight, Tosaka and Einzberen reached a new agreement. Alice Phil agrees to Shi Chen's suggestion to defeat the other masters first and then fight it out, and her condition is that she let Yan Feng leave Japan before the battle is over.

In fact, when he sensed Shi Chen's intention to form an alliance with Einzberen, Yan Fengqili knew that his situation was not optimistic. Alice Phil had already sensed the threat that Yan Feng Qili was threatening to Emiya Kiritsugu, so she naturally wanted to rule him out. For Tosaka Tokitomi, Qili was just an "ordinary assistant", far less important than the covenant with Einzberen.

However, Shi Chen did not know that his disciple was hiding two extremely important things.

Although he lost his Servant, he was soon re-enthroned with the Command, something that had never happened in the past.

In addition, after discovering Father Rizheng's body last night, Qili inherited the spell he kept, and Shichen did not know about these things. With such important information hidden at such a critical moment, Qili had obviously abandoned her subordinates' duties.

He sat alone in his room and asked himself.

(What is my wish?)

It's a question that Qili had asked tens of thousands of times, but never had it been so urgent as tonight, and he had to come up with an answer before dawn.

Hours earlier, Templar staff had found Kenneth's body in an abandoned factory outside of Fuyuki City. Though he had been shot beyond recognition, the Templar Church was able to identify him.

Emiya Kiritsugu, the ruthless killing machine, is destroying all of his opponents one by one. Unlike Yan Fengqili, who could only sit here in confusion, the man was actually walking towards the Holy Grail.

After nine years of silence, Emiya Kiritsugu threw himself into this battlefield called Fuyuki. If he could get the Holy Grail, what would that man wish?

“...... Who are you?"

Yan Feng Qili suddenly muttered to himself. He had eagerly awaited Kiritsugu Emiya, for that man's answer. But now, Yan Fengqili has a sense of crisis. The women who stood in front of Kiritsugu Emiya kept wandering in his mind. Why are they so desperate? Could it be that Emiya Kiritsugu has degenerated to the point where he can share his wishes with a third person?

The next moment, Qili felt a breath approaching from the corridor outside the door. He was already quite familiar with the man outside the door.

Even when walking, the heroic spirit made no secret of his majesty. Even if he stepped into the realm of the gods, he was still so unruly.

Archer didn't knock on the door, but walked straight into Qili's room. Seeing that he was thinking, the Hero King sneered and said in a mocking tone: "It's all this time, what are you still thinking? ”

“...... You let Mr. Shi Chen go back alone? Archer. ”

"I sent him to the hotel. Recently, there have been more sinister poisonous insects lurking in the night than Assassin. ”

Qili nodded. In his opinion, Emiya Kiritsugu would not ignore the meeting between Tosaka and Einzberen. He will definitely lie in ambush on the road, looking for an opportunity to kill the enemy Master. On this point, Qili had already instructed Archer in advance.

"But you're really an honest fellow, knowing that your situation is not good, and you're still worried about the Lord's safety. ”

"This is a natural judgment. I've done my duty as a prop for Mr. Shichen, and there's no reason to stay in Fuyuki now. ”

"You don't really think so, do you?"

Archer's gaze seemed to see through everything, and Qili stared at him in silence.

The Hero King was right, otherwise Qili wouldn't have sat here stupidly.

"The Holy Grail is still calling to you, and you yourself want to keep fighting. ”

There was a hint of playfulness in those red eyes, as if looking down on a lost critter from above. For Archer, appreciating the troubles of others seems to be a pleasant thing for him.

Qili didn't defend anything, but stood in front of the Hero King.

"Countless hours were wasted and endless pain was endured...... But it was all in vain...... And now, I feel like I've never been so close to the 'answer'. What I seek must be in Fuyuki City, at the end of the war. ”

After saying these words, Qili once again understood what had driven her to where she is today.

"Since you've reflected so much, why are you confused?"

Archer asked coldly.

Hearing this, Qili looked down at her outstretched hands, and then covered her face as if she was about to sigh.

"I have a sense of foreboding...... When I get all the answers, I'm going to perish. ”

There is no way out but to try to face something that she has discovered from the deaths of her father and wife.

Maybe it's better to leave like this. From now on, I forget everything, don't ask anything, and spend the rest of my life doing nothing.

"Don't think about all that frivolity, idiot. ”

Archer's reminder shattered the idea that Kiri was almost going to come true.

"If you could change your way of life so easily, you wouldn't be so bothered. You are accustomed to living while asking, and you will die with doubts in the end. You won't get answers, and you won't be able to rest in peace. ”

“......”

"Maybe I should bless you. After a long search, we finally arrived at our destination. ”

"You're going to bless others? Archer. ”

The Hero King bowed slightly, and his face had a joyful expression, like a child observing an anthill.

"I should have said that observing human cause and effect is the most interesting entertainment. This king is looking forward to the moment when you meet fate. ”

Qili smiled bitterly: "Is it really happy to live for the sake of 'pleasure' in this way?"

"If you are envious, you can also try to live like this. When you know what pleasure is, you will not be afraid of perdition. ”

At this time, the phone rang outside the hallway. As if she had expected it, Qili walked out of the room to pick up the receiver, and after a while, she hung up the phone and returned to her room.

"What's going on?"

"It's the staff of the Templar Church, and now they have to report everything to me. ”

Seeing Qili's unusually relaxed expression, Archer frowned and asked, "Is there any good news?"

"Well, the news is quite decisive. ”

After saying that, Qili hesitated for a moment about whether he should say it, but in the end, he chose to confess.

"After the meeting, I sent someone to follow the men in the Einsbelen camp and told them that it was my father's instructions before he died, and they went about it. Thanks to this, I was able to find the current hiding place of those three men. ”

Hearing his words, Archer was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, clapped his hands, and said, "What! What a ...... you are Didn't you make a decision a long time ago?"

Until now, he is still using his position to reconnoiter the movements of the opposing camp, so it is impossible for him not to participate in the battle. At a time when Qili was depressed, the strategy had made tangible progress.

But before, he wasn't mentally prepared - just a few minutes ago.

"I've also been confused, and I've thought about giving up. But in the end...... Hero King, like you say...... People like me can only live with questions. ”

Qili said as she rolled up her sleeves and checked the spell on her arm.

On the left upper arm, there are two spells, which allow Kiri to conclude a contract with the Servant again.

And on the entire right arm, there is a safe order curse recovered from his father's remains. Countless spells that have not yet determined the object of the contract can not only be used to bind the Servant, but can also be used to refine the highly practical non-attribute magic. In other words, they can be used as simulated magic marks. Aside from the fact that they are consumables, the magic that Qili has now is enough to rival the magic of the famous demon sect that has accumulated the seals of the past generations. To continue to participate in the ongoing Holy Grail War, Qili's preparation is more than enough.

There is no righteousness on the road in front of us, there is no false name, and the battle that only belongs to Yanfeng Qili is about to start.

In order to fill his own emptiness, to confirm the capacity of his own void, he will question the Holy Grail.
