Kick, kick, kick

The sound of the heel hitting the ground sounded rhythmically, and Kirino turned his head, and in front of him was Emiya Kiritsugu, dressed in a black suit and holding an exquisitely decorated single-shot pistol.

"I don't know what the second young master of the Kirito family, the master of Berserker, is here for today?"

Although it was a normal conversation, the The contender competitor pistol in Emiya Kiritsugu's hand never let go.

This prototype single-shot pistol, produced by the American company Thompson, resembles an earlier musket, with a barrel of 15 inches, which is excessively long for a pistol.

It is not portable, and it does not have semi-automatic or fully automatic rapid-fire capabilities, and the only advantage is power. This gun is as powerful as a rifle with a suitable caliber of bullets. The distance between him and the Berserker Master was now less than ten meters, a distance that would allow him to raise his gun and shoot the opponent's head in less than a second. If the opponent does not move, he can also expect the result of the shot, the opponent's head will be blasted open like a watermelon, and the back of the head will be hit by the rolling bullet to fly a huge hole.

It's no wonder that Emiya Kiritsugu is so nervous, the white-haired decadent man in front of him is the same as him, the master of the Holy Grail War, one of his six opponents.

According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, they will fight to the death after all.

"Don't worry, I'm here to talk to you about cooperation this time, your gun can be put away, no matter how skilled Kenneth is, after all, it can't compare to the combat power of the Heroic Spirit, they can split bullets."

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded, but still didn't put down the gun in his hand.

"Okay, I'll just go straight to the point, I hope the Einzberen family can help me and treat a child."

"Seeing a doctor? The financial resources of the Maki family are not so bad that they can't even afford the medical expenses of the heir. ”

"Since we are looking for the Einzberen family, it is naturally not an ordinary illness. What I want you to help you see is the damage left by magic. And it's the tricky kind. ”

Emiya Kiritsugu raised his eyebrows,

"How tricky is it?"

"It's better for you to see the specific situation. When the dust settles, I'll let the subjects appear to you. I don't need you to guarantee that she will be cured, but I must do my best to heal her and restore her original body as much as possible. This should be a gesture for the Einzberen family, right? ”

"If things really do what you say, that's good. But what good will it do me if I do what you say? ”

Jian Tong Yan smiled, he knew that the main event was coming:

"If you agree to my terms, it means that I lose my reason to compete for the Holy Grail. Now that the desire to place your hopes on the Holy Grail has been lost, there is no need to continue to participate in the Holy Grail War, and I will join you with Berserker. In addition, I will bring you an information ...... about the Tosaka family."

Emiya Kiritsugu directly interrupted:

"If it's an alliance between Archer and Assassin, then you don't have to tell me, I already know about it."

Jian Tong Yanye suddenly realized:

"By the way, I almost forgot, your companion saw my berserker and Assassin when they ambushed the lancer at the Winterwood Hotel. Since the Assassin is still alive, it is not difficult to guess the union between the two families. ”

Although what he wanted to say was guessed by the other party, there was no embarrassment at all:

"Now that you already know that there is an alliance between the two masters, isn't it even more necessary for us to cooperate with each other?"

Emiya Kiritsugu continued:

"How can I trust you?"

The wild goose bowed her head slightly, and the laughter was very abrupt in the castle of the Einzberen family in the dead of night.

Emiya Kiritsugu asked puzzled:

"What are you laughing at?"

"You ask me? Of course I'm laughing at you. Obviously it looks like an old fritter who won't trust a person easily, but let me convince you seriously? Whether I can believe my words or not, whether my trading suggestions can be adopted or not, whether I say it is useless, you have to decide for yourself. If you think I believe your trust, and if you think I don't believe you, you're talking nonsense. How can I convince you? ”

Emiya Kiritsugu was silent for a moment, although the other party's attitude seemed to be joking, but he understood what the other party meant, and accepted the other party's point of view, but he still needed some information to confirm. So he asked again:

"Well, I didn't ask the question just now. So, the master of the Makiri family, can you ask you about the wish you originally wanted the Holy Grail to come true? I feel like I can make a reference. ”

"Well, I know all about that. Actually, I didn't intend to use the Holy Grail for me, I wanted to get it just because I wanted to exchange it for a child. A child who was supposed to live happily. If I insist on saying that I have a wish for the Holy Grail, it should be partly to save people, certainly not to save everyone, but only to save a child I just mentioned. The other part is to destroy, destroy the darkness of the Kiriri's family, and smash the magic of the Kiri's family. ”

As he spoke, he dragged his left leg, limping from side to side, and the moonlight sprinkled on the right half of his body that had not rotted and deteriorated, delicately dividing his body into two parts, like the decaying half of the martyr's body dragging his soul:

"But when I actually joined the war, especially after having a Servant, I suddenly realized that my wish could actually be fulfilled with my own hands. It turned out that it was me who made everything worse, and it was I who didn't have the power to turn everything around. ”

She lifted the white hair that she deliberately put down to cover the left half of her face, and rolled up the sleeve of her left hand. The shriveled skin was wrapped in lean flesh and bones, and from time to time there were several creepy protrusions beneath the skin, like rotting corpses gnawed by maggots.

"I don't have many days left...... Feed! Don't look at me with that kind of surprise, it's not a bad thing, although I'm already a literal rotten life, but since it's a rotten life, there is no need to be afraid to survive. Didn't you say that you were stunned and afraid of dying? I just don't want to die right now. ”

Jian Tong Yanye smiled happily and had no fear of death:

"How? Saber's master, the famous magician killer Mr. Kiritsugu Emiya? A mad dog that bites people and dies soon, but is still fierce and powerful - isn't it a good partner? ”

Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was a little low:

"Since the Holy Grail is an almighty wishing machine, it should be possible for you to gain the lifespan of a normal person......

"How could I use magic to prolong my life?! Am I crazy? ”

This time, it was replaced by a night of Kiriki Wai who interrupted Emiya Kiritsugu's words:

"Magic, magic, magic, you people from the magic family open and close your mouth every day is magic. Does Magic Anyone Matter? If it's just your own preference, there's nothing to spend your life studying magic, it's your own choice, just like many people don't like worldly pleasures, like to be an ascetic, like to study boring mathematics, and like to live a life with few desires. It doesn't matter, you just have to be happy. So why use other people's sacrifices to fulfill your own wishes, the point is, and still look like you are a ghost who died as you deserved? Look at my body, look at the children who were slaughtered by Caster as a sacrifice for summoning magic. It's all a blood debt made by magicians with magic. ”

The roar at the beginning of the night was full of anger, but when he continued to speak, and when he reached the end, the volume of his speech became a little smaller, as if he was talking to himself:

"I think that since we were born as human beings, we should pursue the happiness of being born as human beings. And birth, old age, sickness and death, are all part of life, live like a person, and die like a person, it is best that this life can live a little value, so that when a few people occasionally mention it, they can have some nostalgia, which is enough. So! ”

Jian Tong Yan stared at Emiya Kiritsugu at night, and said word by word:

"I refuse to use magic to survive like that old monster in our house, I say...... Can you accept it? ”

"Poof, hehehehe......"

Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly laughed and put away the gun in his hand at the same time.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have been in a similar situation, when? Hmm, I don't think I remember. ”

In this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu somehow recalled the two most important moments of his life when he pulled the trigger. The two weapons he used, one was a TT-33 Tokarev pistol made in the former Soviet Union, and the other was a FIM-92A Stinger stinger missile, which were used to send away his two most important people.

When the trigger is pulled, the residual touch of the fingers is still very clear.

Emiya Kiritsugu took out two cigarettes from his jacket, because they had been sitting in his clothes for a long time, and they were a little crumpled in order to fight Kenneth just now.

He took out one of them and handed it to Jian Tong Yanye, and the other one was directly in his mouth.

"Do you smoke?"

"It's already been handed over, and you ask me if I want to smoke it?"

Emiya Kiritsugu took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, and shook the lighter in his hand at Makiri.

"Okay, okay, pump!"

Jian Tong Yanye took the other party's lighter and lit a cigarette. But he didn't suck it, he just held it in his hand.

Emiya Kiritsugu held the cigarette between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, took a deep breath, and spat out a cloud of gray-white smoke.

"I think I can identify with you. But ......"

Emiya Kiritsugu plucked the cigarette, which was a third shorter, from his mouth and flicked the ash lightly. Firmly looking at the night of the wild goose:

"For the Holy Grail, I am bound to get it."

"Didn't you already say that? I don't care about the Holy Grail. I can still help you win, but I want you to take Sakura to the Einzberen house for me, and let the Einzberen family do their best to heal her. ”

"Sakura-chan? I've been wanting to ask just now, you are obviously not married, and the child you are talking about is definitely not your daughter, so ...... is she? ”

Jian Tong Yanye sneered and said:

"Sakura is the second daughter of Tosaka Tokitomi, but he passed it to the Makiri family."

"What happened? Adoptive? ”

"The Tomachi family to my generation, there is no inheritor of magic with sufficient qualifications, it just so happens that the two daughters of the Tosaka family have good qualifications, but you also know that each generation of the magic family can only have one heir, Tosaka Shichen left the eldest daughter Tosaka Rin with better qualifications, and the younger daughter passed to the Matong family at the suggestion of the current head of the Tokiri family."

"After all, the inscription of the magic family is not easy to spread, and it can be regarded as normal. Then this girl should have nothing to do with you. ”

Emiya Kiritsugu took another puff of the cigarette in his hand, and Makiriya replied bluntly:

"I like Tosaka Toshitomi and his wife."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't catch his breath and coughed violently.

Jian Tong Yanye frowned,

"It's no surprise that there was such a big reaction. Although I had a longing, I never did anything out of the ordinary, but I just couldn't say a crush that didn't come out of the ordinary, what can't I say? ”

Jian Tong Yanye glanced at the cigarette he held in his hand, lowered his head and tried to inhale gently, but he was obviously not used to this taste, and his poor body and lungs could not withstand the toss, so he coughed after only taking a shallow puff.

Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, and gently patted the back of Kiribaya:

"You're open. So you care about the daughter of your former crush in order to please her? ”

"It's all over, it's impossible, and I don't think about it, but after all, Sakura calls me uncle, and her parents don't care about her anymore, if I don't care about being an uncle, what is it called? Poof, poof. It looks handsome, but I still can't get it. ”

She threw more than half of her cigarette on the ground and threw out a card with something written on it.

"Well, then, I'll say yes. Here is my phone number, you can call me if you need me. ”

Berserker, who had remained motionless, pulled the wild goose on his horse and drove the white horse out of Einzberen Castle. Soon disappeared from the sight of Emiya Kiritsugu.

It just so happened that Saber's voice sounded in his head:

"Oh no, Kiritsugu. Alice Phil and Miss Maiya ......"

"What's wrong? saber！ Didn't Alice Phil and Maiya go to evacuate in advance? What's wrong with them? ”

"Alice Phil and Miss Maiya were attacked by a man named Akiri Hiroshi. But fortunately, the other party didn't know why they retreated, Alice Phil was not injured, and although Miss Maiya was seriously injured, she had basically recovered under Miss Alice Phil's healing magic. ”

"Whew—that's good, that's good. Stay near them and protect them for now, and I'll be there right away. ”

When Emiya Kiritsugu heard the news, he finally let go of his suspense, and at the same time immediately chased after the route that Alice Phil had fled before.
