Chapter 55: On the Eve of the Decisive Battle
Two days after the departure of all the staff of Liudong Temple.
The dim sky of Fuyuki is as always, giving people the feeling that time has been frozen, and it is impossible to distinguish between day and night, and it is impossible to feel the passage of time.
But in the underworld of Mount Abbif, the central archaic grail temporarily acts as the sun.
Every night, the pale blue light emitted by the Great Holy Grail darkens under the deliberate control of Dongfang Qiyue, giving people the feeling that it is dark.
Only in this way can the people who live here feel that time has passed.
In the living area, Dongfang Yunfan came to the door of Illya's house.
In front of the door of the house, Hercules stood there like a door god, and when he noticed the approach of Dongfang Yunfan, he also cast his gaze.
"Hercules."
Dongfang Yunfan greeted him first.
"I have something to look for Illya, can you let me know?"
Hercules nodded, then knocked on the door.
After a while, Illya, who was neatly dressed, opened the door of the house, and after seeing the people outside the house, she was a little surprised at first, and said, "It's Mr. Yunfan, is there anything wrong with being so late?" ”
"Hmm." Dongfang Yunfan nodded and said, "To be precise, it's not that I'm looking for you, it's that someone asked me to come to you." ”
"Who?"
"Your mother, Alice Phil von Einzberen."
It resembles a small world on the inside of the Great Grail.
Dongfang Qiyue sat on a meadow with the anxious Alice Phil in the clothes of heaven.
After the Great Grail shell shattered, the bound Alice Phil's soul was liberated and ascended to Valhalla.
Just now, with her identity as a Little Holy Grail and the assistance of Dongfang Qiyue, she descended through the Great Holy Grail core.
Although you can't leave this inner world, if it's for a reunion with your daughter, it's enough.
Look at Alice Phil's knuckles, which are white from the clasping of her fingers, and look around.
Dongfang Qiyue could figure out how nervous she really was, and she tried to comfort her.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Alice Fair, the person who has come is your daughter, your dearest, not the one who has come to kill you."
"I know." "But I'm just nervous." ”
She clenched her hands and placed them on her chest, her face full of unease.
"I haven't been with her for so long, how much has she been wronged? How much suffering did you suffer? How can I make up for my absence from her? What if she hates me? How on earth can I get her forgiveness? ”
"What am I going to do to face her?"
"You don't need to be anything! Mom. ”
"Huh?!"
Alice Phil turned around abruptly and saw Illya with tears in her eyes and Dongfang Yunfan with a good look on her face.
"You...... When did you arrive? ”
"It wasn't long ago."
"That's what I just said."
"All."
"Hmm!!"
Alice Phil immediately blushed and began to speak incoherently.
"I... I, I, you...... You. ”
Seeing Alice Phil's helpless embarrassment, Illya's heart, which was still moving, changed instantly, and then fell into the pain of holding back laughter.
In order to let the mother and daughter enter a normal conversation, Dongfang Qiyue first kicked Dongfang Yunfan, who was snickering, and then walked to Alice Phil's side and said to her: "Alice Phil, don't be nervous, just take a few deep breaths." ”
Alice Phil, who was in a panic, subconsciously did so, and quickly closed her eyes and took two deep breaths.
"Ha~huh~"
"Ha~huh~"
After taking a deep breath, Alice Phil found that her heart was quickly calm.
After calming down, she opened her eyes again, only to see that Illya had walked in front of her at some point.
"Illya......
"Mom."
The little girl stepped forward and hugged her mother, who also crouched down and buried the girl in the crook of her arm.
"Mom, I miss you so much."
"Well, me too, my daughter."
In order to create enough space for the mother and daughter to reunite after a long absence, Dongfang Qiyue decisively stepped forward and dragged Dongfang Yunfan, who was still watching the play, away.
—————
In the bright room, Sakura sat on her bed and read the letter in her hand.
Sakura's original name was Tosaka Sakura, but since she was a child, she was renamed Sakura Makiri.
The Maki family is one of the three families of Fuyuki, but in recent years, their family's magic bloodline has gradually weakened, and in order to continue their family's magic, they asked Tosaka Tosaka, the head of the Tosaka family, Tosaka Tokitomi to inherit his youngest daughter Tosaka Sakura to his family.
Because there can only be one heir to the head of a magic family, and Tosaka Tokitomi happens to have two talented daughters, if they both stay in the Tosaka family, then one of them is destined to have his talent wasted.
So in order to get the magic of the Kiriri family, and also for his daughter's ability to have a better future, Tosaka Shichen agreed to the Kiri's family.
But he didn't expect that by doing so, he would be pushing his daughter into the fire pit.
The soul of the head of the Jian Tong family, the soul of the Jian Tong Dirty Yan, has long been corroded for a long time, and he did everything to survive at that time.
So he threw her into the pile of insects in the Makiri family on the day he got Sakura Tosaka.
No matter how Sakura Makiri, who was less than ten years old, cried and screamed in the pile of bugs, he was unmoved.
A girl named Sakura, her life was destroyed before she was even ten years old.
Now, the murderer who ruined her life in the first place wrote a letter to her, and the recipient wrote not "Sakura Makiri", but "Sakura Tosaka".
She suddenly didn't know what to do, how to deal with that person.
Sakura had feared, feared, and hated him, and she hated him to the core.
Tomorrow is the decisive day set by everyone, will he appear on the battlefield?
The letter is ...... today
After struggling for a long time, Sakura Tosaka decided to open the letter today.
The seal of the letter was opened, and a piece of white letter paper was taken out of it, which read:
"To my most guilty Miss Sakura Tosaka:
I'm sorry, Sakura.
I know it's too late for me to say this now, and the hurt I have done to you has become an eternal wound in your heart.
I know that I will never be in a position to ask for your forgiveness, and that if you see me, I will endure whatever scolding you may inflict on me, because I deserve it.
I also know that any language is pale in the face of my harm to you.
So, in this letter I have also prepared for you a relic of a goddess, who is the wife of Shiva, the supreme god of Hindu mythology, Goddess Parvati.
If you can summon Him, your chances of victory should be a few more points.
In addition, in order to increase the probability of summoning Him, you can use the divinity of the Spirit Base of the Wine Devouring Boy.
I know that the spirit of the drunken boy is still in the present state, and I also know from Arjuna that there is a powerful magician like Medea on your side.
So, if you can get her to help, you're going to be able to do it.
Sakura, let's be honest. After I realized what I had done, the person I felt most guilty about was you, and I didn't know how to face you.
If one day you need my strength, then please call my name, and to compensate you, I will rush over and lend you my strength wherever you are.
I'm sorry, Sakura. ”
“…………”
In the clinic, Asclepius is preparing the medicine he will use in the battle tomorrow.
"Tuk-tuk."
"Huh?"
There was a crisp knock on the door, and Asclepius came to the door in confusion.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Sakura and Medea standing in front of the door.
Sakura folded her hands on her lower abdomen and bent down towards Asclepius and pleaded, "Doctor Asclepius, could you please do me another favor?" ”
