My name is Illya,
I finally fell off my horse.

The sudden aura of the root caused almost all the magicians in Fuyuki City to turn their attention to Ryudou Temple, especially the representatives of the Holy Church who had set up a nearby temple to block the perception of ordinary people.
Although they have been told that the Holy Grail is just a fake created by magicians and has no value to the church, it does not suppress their curiosity about its ability to "open up the source". If those magicians really open the way to the root channel, can they also get a share of the pie?
When this "wishes" appeared in the hearts of these magicians, they were already "registered" by the Great Holy Grail. At this time, when they directly witnessed the true form of the Great Holy Grail, their minds were immediately captured by it.
——Because the combatants were busy fighting, too busy taking care of themselves, and perishing together, he took the opportunity to intrude on the road to the source. With the ability to interfere with all things, he made himself, his family, and his power very powerful, and then faced off against his competitors, arrogant bosses, and life-or-death enemies. and others launched retaliatory actions.
No matter how irrational these illusions are, they will fill in the holes on their own and continue to dream happily. Unless someone rescues them or the mentally tough can escape on their own, they will just stay stupid-until they starve to death.
Ryunosuke Ubui found one of them, sitting at the rest area of Fuyuki Ohashi Station and staring blankly into the sky. It even attracted many pedestrians who didn't know what to do and looked at it together, causing a traffic jam for a time.
Naturally, those ordinary people couldn't see anything.
Although Ryunosuke did not look back, he felt that the familiar vortex of death had appeared again, and was trying to wrap up another "thing" full of hostility. Therefore, Caster was actually not very sure. I immediately put away the thing and then deliberately told him not to look at it.
But by the same token, as long as the "thing" in perception is controlled, you can look back.
Ryunosuke Uyu stopped at the upper entrance of Fuyuki Bridge and began to wait silently.

No one knows what happened at Ryudou Temple better than Irisviel who watched Saber Lily swing that sword.
After the girl knight's "X"-shaped sword light collided with another sword light coming from Liudong Temple, it flew straight into the sky, cutting "Song" into two huge staggered "wounds" - although the " "Empty" seems a bit low.
Immediately afterwards, the "wound" began to pour out a dark "flood" like a bursting dam.
These "floods" did not scatter away. They all concentrated directly below the landing point, combined to form each other, and condensed at the same time after the last drop of "water" fell, forming a huge black barrel dozens of meters high. The container enveloped the entire Liudong Temple.
"That's impossible..." she muttered.
Maybe others don't know what it is, but as the Holy Grail, Irisviel, who can communicate with the remaining wills of the Winter Saint clones of the past generations, knows very well that that thing is the Great Holy Grail, whether it is summoning heroic spirits or absorbing souls to realize wishes. , are all carried out through it, and it should not be what it is now anyway.
The Great Holy Grail is fixed in the large hollow directly below called the "Dragon Cave". Because it has accumulated too much magic power over the years, even powerful magicians dare not approach it rashly to confirm the situation, and it is impossible for anyone to know why it behaves like this. This strange way of appearing on the surface.
Maybe saber·lily knows the reason?
Irisviel turned around and saw that Saber Lily's body was gradually glowing with golden light, and the connection through the magic circuit was gradually becoming weaker - she was disappearing from the world.
"Artoria..." Irisviel didn't know what to say for a moment. Saber Lily did not become a heroic spirit after her death due to her achievements in life. She was even on a journey of cultivation. For her, the experience here was just It was a more interesting adventure, and she also saw another future for herself, which would have an immeasurable impact on her growth.
"Irisviel, I'm sorry that I have to take the first step, but we should defeat all the enemies at once," said the girl in the white dress whose golden light became denser: "I wish you and your husband victory in advance~ "
Wait - Irisviel stretched out her hand to stop it, but the girl in front of her had completely disappeared, and a wave of magic that made up her body took off towards the Great Holy Grail - then turned a corner halfway, and another wave from the House of the Sea The magic power from all directions merged and flew to the other side of the perimeter of Ryudong Temple.
That was Saber Alter, maybe, but why did she turn a blind eye to the Great Holy Grail and herself, who were so close at hand? In that position, it should be Kiritsugu, Maiya and... Illya? !
Irisviel was shocked to realize what she had overlooked, because her future daughter appeared in front of her safe and sound, and revealed that she had won the Holy Grail War and was here just to save the future... But what about herself?
After spending several command spells and sometimes even trying to save Kiritsugu even if he was injured, how could she ignore that she would inevitably disappear as the "Holy Grail Vessel"?
Kiritsugu wants to obtain the Holy Grail and save the world, but before that Irisviel will sacrifice for becoming the Holy Grail. Regarding this unsolvable problem, Irisviel has already reached an agreement with Kiritsugu, and she is willing to sacrifice for his ideals. Sacrifice yourself - but Illya will never agree!
She couldn't change her "parents'" ideas, so she had no choice but to disrupt it from the source - becoming the vessel of the Holy Grail herself.
"No, that's not something you should carry..." Irisviel whispered, pushing Lin Hao's wheelchair quickly in that direction.
15:24:50
The huge black Great Holy Grail rose from the ground and destroyed the entire Ryudou Temple. The Tohsaka and Kenneth camps who were fighting inside were uncertain about their life and death. Saber Alt and Saber Lily exited. The victory of this Holy Grail War was about to be won. The whole world is about to be saved.
Compared with those things, the fact that Caster, who claimed to be the "Winter Saint", suddenly turned into an exquisite and gorgeous golden cup in front of him, which required both hands to hold, was obviously more important.
"Caster?" Even the always calm Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was trembling uncontrollably at this time. He seemed to have thought of a certain guess, but this guess was dismissed by himself before it took shape. No, it's impossible. , there is no such reason, Kiritsugu tried to convince himself.
"Oh! Damn it!" The Golden Cup made a voice that Caster didn't know who he was complaining to: "Do you want to exit so neatly?"
"Hmph... This is really a wonderful experience..." Under the gazes of Kiritsugu, Maiya and Emil, the golden cup floated and began to emit strong white light.
The next moment, the girl Caster, still wearing a formal dress, reappeared in front of them.
"Caster, what are you doing?" Kiritsugu frowned.
The girl's original red dress had turned completely black after turning into a cup and back again. Only the five rubies on the row of hollows on her chest were still bright red.
"You're pretty good at hiding things from others," Caster looked at Kiritsugu sideways, "There's obviously something wrong with that Holy Grail."
"I'm asking you," Kiritsugu seemed unable to think of how to ask for a moment: "Why did you replace Airi and become the vessel of the Holy Grail?"
"Are you kidding me?" Caster raised his chin: "Ever since the Saint of Winter, every generation of cyborgs has been a successor to the Holy Grail. Otherwise, if research had only begun after the Third War, it would only be sixty years old. Can such good results be achieved in just one year?”
It sounds reasonable...
Kiritsugu's suspicions were almost dispelled by Caster, but Irisviel, who hurried over and grabbed Caster's arm and kept shouting "Illya", made her efforts completely in vain.
When he got up, various clues had been revealed all along, but he never thought about it that way.
In fact, Illya had already exposed her flaws from the beginning. If she was really the Saint of Winter, she should have waited for Kiritsugu to understand the meaning after introducing herself, instead of immediately kicking the baggage. She would have been so direct and planned to do her best. The reason for misleading Kiritsugu.
As for their relationship during this period, through Lin Hao, she created an image of someone who hates magicians and killers, which makes it even more difficult for people to see through it. Especially since Ai Li obviously knew this but didn't notice it herself, this was a serious mistake.
"When I wanted to save as many magicians as possible, did you not include yourself in it?" Caster, no, Illya explained to Irisviel over there that because she had collected five souls, her The fluctuation of magic power could no longer be concealed, and he had to confess his identity and purpose to his "parents".
"I'm different from you, mother," Illya refused to hand over her soul: "Servants are just incarnations of heroic spirits. Even if one of them disappears, it will have no effect on the main body. And when she read the memory, she saw that I saved you. Very happy.”
"This..." Kiritsugu could clearly see that Irisviel just couldn't accept it emotionally, but he was convinced logically.
"The King of Heroes and the King of Conquerors haven't disappeared yet, but they can't come out for the time being," Illya pointed to herself and patted Emil on the head next to her: "I'll take her away with her later. Don't worry about that dark one. Great Holy Grail, take the opportunity to make a wish, don't pay attention to it, just make sure there are no loopholes in your wish."
"emm...together..." Emil raised his head and said.
"No!" Kiritsugu and Irisviel said in unison. Kiritsugu looked at his wife and motioned for her to go first.
"If you just leave like this, what will you do?" Irisviel pointed to the girl from country C in the wheelchair beside her: "If you can show up in advance, you can delay your departure, right? Let's make sure everyone is settled before leaving."
"Well, if she promised to bear all the misfortune in the world, she would disappear in the original time and space like me, so - well." Illya suddenly shut up in the middle of the sentence, and Irisviel showed her thin eyebrows drooping again. His face turned pale, as if he was about to cry.
"Although this is nothing to a servnt, in terms of war, we ultimately won by relying on the sacrifice of women and children, which is unacceptable." Feeling that the scene was a bit chaotic, Kiritsugu had to give the reason for his refusal.
"Let's continue fighting," Lin Hao, who was in a wheelchair on the side, raised his right hand and said, "If you lose, Caster, I will use the command spell to bring you back to ensure that the Holy Grail will not fall into the hands of others. "
"Well..." Illya looked at Lin Hao, seeming to be thinking about something, and answered after a moment: "Okay."
