My name is Illya,
I'm going to give myself an Oscar.
176:19:11
It was a great success to leave Kiritsugu speechless during their first meeting, but what to do next was the key point. This partner of justice had a very stubborn philosophy.
Telling him directly "I'm in the Holy Grail and I know it's black" shouldn't work.
According to the character of this incarnation of the heroic spirit, plus Illya's age and appearance, she can only be the Winter Saint in her youth and prime, so there is no way to know that the current Holy Grail has been contaminated by An.
And I'm not very good at lying. Kiritsugu has been a messenger of justice for so long, so his lie detection skills should be quite high. If he catches the lie, he'll be in trouble in the future.
[But you just lied about being the Saint of Winter? 】
'It's so noisy! The original Winter Saint sacrificed herself to the source in order to create the Holy Grail, so I have no problem at all! '
Anyway, let's hear Kiritsugu's answer to my accusation before reacting.
"Eri is not your clone, caster." Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: "And you are not the original Winter Saint. I think you know this very well."
This is true. Strictly speaking, all Servants are copies of the Heroic Spirit's body located on the Seat of Heroic Spirits. They are just high-level "familiar" who have reappeared in the world after adjusting their strength according to the acquired rank and the strength of the summoner.
For example, King Arthur, whose gender is different from what everyone knows, she also has a powerful lance in the legend, well, it is the one that stabbed her son/daughter to death. If she is summoned with the lance class, she can use it, and she can Because he is not cursed with immortality, his figure will continue to grow.
"Of course it's clear," I continued with an enigmatic smile: "But I, who was supposed to be assimilated with the source and not be conscious, heard an interesting wish. She said, 'I want to save more people, even if I sacrifice myself'."
Kiritsugu's expression did not change. It seemed that such words either failed to impress him or were expected.
"Perhaps being able to respond to the call is because this wish is more in line with the creed of the Einzbern family. After all, it is the Holy Grail instrument for the realization of the third method." I continued to lie: "But this time I was able to invite an outsider. Being a Master is unexpected."
Originally, in the previous Holy Grail Wars, the Einzberns used clones of the Saint of Winter as their masters, but their combat effectiveness and planning abilities were too poor, and there was no hope of victory at all, so this Only then would he hire this magician killer who was known for his cunning.
After Kiritsugu passed away, he first had a little ideological conflict with Irisviel, and then he rescued her from the death trial of the android, and then they expressed their heartfelt understanding to each other, and then fell in love for a long time, and finally got married and gave birth to a daughter, which is gratifying - —Although what followed was that in this war, wives were separated, daughters were separated, families were destroyed, and people died.
"Ai Li, does she have any wishes of her own?" Kiritsugu's eyebrows moved, as if he had thought of something and his expression was a little gentle, and he asked.
"The wish that all the Einzbern androids have is to bring the Great Holy Grail down and realize the Third Law." I put on a proud face: "But you, your wish to stay out of the situation and want to save the world is very embarrassing. I'm amazed."
"Stay out of it?"
"Magic killer, huh?" I gestured to the gun in his hand: "If you judge that a certain behavior may cause a large number of casualties, stop and eliminate it, and most of this behavior is caused by magicians. , so you finally got this title for killing 37 magicians."
"33, and many of them are just unable to use magic for life."
"There is no need to commit crimes, but if ordinary people engage in large-scale battles where good and evil cannot be judged, you will choose to secretly assist them to win based on which force will win with fewer deaths," Ide Kiritsugu said. It's the reason why it appears in war-torn areas. "So, when it comes to your life, the only weight is quantity."
"has a problem?"
"Your behavior is logically self-consistent. I'm afraid it will be of no use to outsiders." I shook my head. "But what I want to ask is, if you win and make a wish to the Holy Grail to save the world, what will happen to you? Will you be saved as well?"
"I see, this is what you asked for Lin Hao." Kiritsugu, who was originally expressionless, nodded as if he was convinced of something.
"Huh?" That's right. The incarnation named Lin Hao is under his control as the master. They are now temporarily aligned due to their common desires, but if there are fundamental differences, there will still be a war in the end.
"The target of relief cannot include me," Kiritsugu shook his head slightly: "The prerequisite for the Holy Grail to finally come is that Ellie disappears. If she can't be with me, I can't be called saved anyway."
【Wow……】
'Invisible dog food is the most deadly, I suddenly want to hit him very much'
[Just accept the show of affection from your parents~]
'Very good, I'll beat you instead'
[No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...]
"Since you mentioned wishes, what is your wish? Caster, you can't just hope that the Holy Grail will come." Kiritsugu began to change the subject.
"Humph, that has nothing to do with you." What if I collect doomsday elements? "Although the barrier I just set up can temporarily isolate the assassins from their perception of this place, are you sure you want to chat with me here?"
"Last question," Kiritsugu looked around, quickly boarded the boat and started to start the engine: "Your master, are you busy and won't answer the call without using the command spell?"
"Ah, that's right. Although my magic power is enough to reject one or two command spells, I think the trouble may be even greater if you die, so I will interrupt my work to save you." I moved to the position where the engine was turned on. bow.
"Work?" Kiritsugu started the speedboat.
"It's just delaying Fuyuki's destruction."
"..."
176:00:04
"Fuyuki will... be destroyed?"
I don't know whether it was because the tone was too casual or the content was too scary. Kiritsugu continued to drive the boat to the other side for a while before he asked.
"What? Do you think there are no consequences for failing the Holy Grail War three times in a row?" I stretched out my hand and pointed to the river below. "The accumulated magic power is not sixty years, but two hundred and forty years."
"So?" Kiritsugu's tone was filled with anxiety.
Tsk...could he be planning to save it again?
"So if you don't make the Holy Grail appear within a certain period of time, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, horrific plagues, etc. will completely destroy Fuyuki." I deliberately meant the disaster that he couldn't do anything about: "As for the exact time, After my correction, it was 176 hours and 4 minutes later."
【Huh? Alaya, how did you know? 】The system ghost suddenly popped out.
'Hey...don't let me get hit, right? I was just thinking about the countdown. '
[Tip: Failure to collect doomsday elements will cause them to explode, and the world will be destroyed in ways including but not limited to those in the preview. 】
It’s not that surprising. I think this countdown should be used for this purpose. The only difference from the original work is that if I fail, there will be no future talks like a week from now and half a year from now in this world. Just talk about it directly. It’s deadend.
[But don’t worry Alaya, even if it is destroyed we will be fine. The worst we can do is go to the next world. 】
'Your flag can fly... Although you are not afraid of failure, it does not mean you are willing to admit failure. '
Now that all the Servants and Masters have appeared, and the relationship between them has become clear, acting according to the existing conditions to achieve the desired outcome is as easy as playing an RPG according to the strategy!
"——Seven?" Kiritsugu, who was once again shocked and speechless, quickly regained his language ability: "I believe you are monitoring your master by some means, so how do you consider our proposal of alliance? "
"Hmph, even though you tried hard to talk bad things to that girl and made her have a bad attitude, you can still resist killing her, so we have no choice but to cooperate." I looked back at my righteous partner who was driving the speedboat: "If before, If you kill her or steal the Command Seal, there will be a 'big surprise' waiting for you."
"I think you seem to have a prejudice against me?" Kiritsugu's tone seemed to be a little more relaxed. He was still thinking about how to deal with Lin Hao, right?
"You are a magician killer, and I am a magician. What's the reason?" I said casually.
"That's it." He seemed to believe it!
During the conversation, the boat crossed the Weiyuan River and docked at a hidden pier.
"Although that girl spent a command spell to save you, I don't have to protect you all the time." I jumped off the boat with my skirt in hand, and after taking a few steps, I looked back at Kiritsugu: "What are you going to do next?"
"Go back to the safe house and meet up with Saber Alter first. The movement from the magic link shows that she was engaged in a battle. I need to know the details of this battle." Kiritsugu parked the speedboat and went ashore: "In addition, It seems that Maiya has been captured by the Tohsaka family, so we need to discuss a countermeasure."
Look, Ryuunosuke is really brave. Kuu Maiya can stand up to Father Mapo, and he actually attacks him secretly.
In the past, I had roughly spoiled some things with Ryuunosuke in a tone that made it difficult for people to realize that this was actually a Bewa anime. Of course, I had tactically blocked the fact that Marshal C was just a crazy magician from outside who wanted to steal the Holy Grail. I didn’t know. What on earth could he have concluded to do such a strange thing.
"Okay, I will escort you to see Saber before I go back to see Master, to prevent you from being hunted by Assassin again." I dusted off the non-existent dust on my sleeves and let the heroic spirit transform into a spirit body: "Besides, you'd better not be casual. Take risks, otherwise the girl's command spell will be wasted in the end."
"Caster, you...no, it's nothing."
Although I don’t know what you are thinking about? But you definitely wouldn’t have guessed that I am your daughter!
Bah, bah, I'm not his daughter!
