My name is Illya,
Today is probably the horse-falling day.
14:50:33
A group of believers are praying. Half of the believers are very healthy and hope to stay healthy. The other half are infected with the disease and are in great pain. They hope to transfer the disease to those healthy believers. What action are you going to take?
“Transfer disease to healthy believers and then cure.”
Due to a conspiracy, all the residents of a city were infected with a plague that would turn them into Death Apostles. Although you discovered this in advance, you were unable to cure them all because the scope of the infection was too large. How should you act?
"Notify the whole city and ask them to isolate themselves. When it breaks out, lead a team to eliminate the wandering Death Apostles and cure those who have locked themselves in their homes."
one country……
The scenes around Kotomine Kirei kept changing as the voice told him. Every time "it" raised a problem, he quickly gave a solution. After those scenes evolved on their own, he was always able to successfully solve the preset events. .
This thing... Kirei frowned between events. It seemed to be trying its best to get him to admit its desire for destruction and destruction?
But he clearly did not deny this, but because the pain and misfortune he created were meaningless, he allowed them to appear and treated and redeemed them afterwards.
Or does it want to deny its own actions of healing and salvation?
It's really ridiculous. The kind of negative things that fill the whole world, and a situation where there is no hope or future at all is what it wants to see?
Even if it hopes to see all kinds of destruction and ruin, if there is no salvation and cure to drive away misfortune and disease, there will be no new destruction and despair. It is obvious that there is something wrong with the logic of that thing.
After confirming that the person talking to him was just an idiot who couldn't even figure out what it wanted, Kotomine Kirei wrapped himself with his wings and stopped answering any of its assumptions.
14:50:32
Tsk-
In the completely dark world, a gap filled with light suddenly opened. Even with his wings wrapped around him, Kirei still felt dazzling.
"Is anyone there?" Caster's voice sounded, his tone relaxed as if he had strayed into the neighbor's garden, but this was black mud, or the inside of the Holy Grail.
Hey, hey, that gap became wider and wider, as if caster was expanding it.
If what was expected was true, the girl who called herself the Saint of Winter made a hole in the base of the dark Holy Grail? How audacious.
"No, it's too dark. I can't see Kirei and Tokiomi," Caster continued to say to himself: "We must dig them out as soon as possible, otherwise they will never come out after a while."
Kirei tried to move, but found that he seemed to be buried by something. The ability to move freely in the illusion just now was naturally an illusion.
That kind of non-stop mental attack was a bit too much even with his steely will. He didn't know what happened to Mr. Tokiomi who was also involved.
Tsk, tsk – the sound of caster’s movements does not sound like digging out solids or draining liquids, but more like tearing cloth.
"Found it!" She shouted in surprise, but in the next moment she became frightened: "Ah! I didn't mean it! Please forgive me!"
What was she doing... Kirei, who had just been "digged out", spread his wings and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Caster surrounded by countless ghosts, squatting with his head in his hands as if very scared.
Are those ghosts—Irisviel? No, that's not right. If you are right, they should be the failed products of the Holy Grail vessels that the Einzbern family has been manufacturing for many years.
Although there are some ghosts with complete bodies, more ghosts are unclear or even missing most of their bodies. Some ghosts only have one arm or palm, and some are even just a piece of gauze, but they all tried to touch it. caster.
If Kirei's perception of the deceased is correct, their emotions are - joy and glory?
"[Don't be too excited, it will scare the children.]" A disembodied and sweet voice sounded, and the ghosts retreated to both sides like Moses parting the Red Sea, revealing a lady full of elegance and intellectuality - although Their appearance is exactly the same.
The dress of the same style as Caster's fit perfectly on her. The golden crown, which was a bit too big and ridiculous for Caster, exuded an aura of nobility when worn on her head. The thick plush shawl and the veil as soft as haze The clothes make this lady even more ethereal.
"[Illya, you did a great job]." This lady who would make everyone who saw her involuntarily think of "Saint Girl" said.
"I'm so sorry! Lady Winter Saint——" Caster still held his head: "I shouldn't have used your name in vain——"
So that’s it. Although Caster calls herself the Saint of Winter, her words and deeds are totally inconsistent. Sometimes Rin and Sakura are more temperamental than her, but they are actually fake, Qili thought, but, Illya? Is that her real name?
"[Haha, no need to apologize,]" the real Saint of Winter walked over and touched Caster's head, straightening her crown at the same time: "[When a mother sees her daughter stealing her own cosmetics, she usually won't be angry, she will just So happy.】"
The Winter Saint made sharp words in an understatement, and Kirei saw that Caster looked deeply shocked.
"Well, I want to take Kotomine Kirei and Tokiomi Tokiomi away. Do you know where they are?" Caster regained his energy and asked the Winter Saint.
"[When your own wish was that no magus would die in this war, we thought you couldn't do it.]" The Saint of Winter rolled down her sleeves, and the barrier in front of Kotomine Kirei became thinner. Quite a few: "[Now it seems that it is doing pretty well.]"
is that so? Then her strange behavior all the time can be explained. She let all the heroic spirits consume each other without distinguishing the winner. In the end, the winner was decided in one breath during the decisive battle and the Holy Grail descended. Qi Li watched as she walked towards this side and prepared. Caster thought as he dug him out.
"[We are leaving. After all, you are ready to destroy the Great Holy Grail and end the Holy Grail War]" Following the words of the Winter Saint, the ghosts were reluctantly passing through the huge gap: "[You and Alice Fei I’ll find a way to resolve your matter myself.]”
"Ah! You will definitely be scolded!" Caster tore the barrier apart a little faster.
Destroy the Great Holy Grail? End the Holy Grail War? Kirei began to think quickly about how to do this.
Crash - the subtle sound of chains sounded. Caster, who had just rescued Mr. Tokiomi who was busy digging, didn't notice it at all. Only Kirei, who had been watching the group of artificial ghosts of the Einzbern family, saw the Winter Saint. There was a chain on his hand, and it was tied to a strange heroic spirit whose whole body was completely black, with only two eyes exposed.
Shhh——
Seeing the Saint of Winter raising a finger towards him, Qi Li nodded.
14:45:18
When Weber led Iskandar to find Emiya Kiritsugu and his entourage, the two sides were still tense and kept their distance. However, after Caster brought two large ice cubes with Kotomine Kirei and Tokiomi Tokiomi, the atmosphere changed. It became even weirder, and the possibility of a fight at any time disappeared.
The heroic spirits who liked to stir up trouble and had conflicts with each other were all defeated, leaving Rider who had no mount at all, Caster who turned into the Holy Grail from time to time, and Assassin who had the mind of an ordinary child.
"Illya, don't be so stubborn and give your soul back to your mother." Irisviel held Caster in her arms and refused to let go, as if she was afraid that someone would come and make a wish when she became the Holy Grail again.
Hmm... Now everyone knew that her claim to be the Saint of Winter was a boast. Weber secretly cursed. He almost believed her when he saw her aura at full strength.
"No, mom, you'll be able to reveal your original form after absorbing about four souls. It's not like I can transform back after absorbing six." Caster was busy suppressing any of the six rubies on her body when it glowed. , otherwise it will turn into a cup with a bang.
"What do you mean by showing your true colors!" Irisviel raised her hand and hit her on the head.
"Six souls..." Weber looked at the three heroic spirits present.
"But it takes seven to get through the root cause." The boy Tokiomi said as if he was worried that he would not be in trouble.
"Hey, girl, didn't you promise to help me make my body in this world? Then I can throw away this spirit base." Iskandar said.
"No, you are a big man." Irisviel looked at Rider's strong body with disgust.
"Well... the female version of the Conqueror..." Lin Hao also intervened in the wheelchair.
"Well, forget it then." Rider shook.
"I——" "You——" Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei, who had been farthest away from each other since the Holy Grail War parties gathered together, spoke at the same time. After looking at each other, Kirei gave in slightly and signaled him to go first.
Although there was a life-and-death fight before, that was when there was no problem with the Holy Grail. Now this dark thing that can mislead others into blackening, there is no value in fighting for it no matter how you think about it.
"When you were discussing wishes or other things, have you ever considered how to deal with the Black Holy Grail?" Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette and gestured in the direction of Ryudouji Temple.
That thing is no longer the Holy Grail, which is pitch black and cannot see its material. In Weber's eyes, it itself is composed of countless black remains. In addition to the remains that are waving their arms on the outer wall even if they are fixed as the Holy Grail, there are many more that can be free. The debris of the operation was crawling up from the bottom, and from time to time debris would erupt from the mouth of the cup.
"In my eyes, it is composed of various forms of flames. Most of them come from my personal experience. I think everyone is the same," Kiritsugu said: "If you make a wish to my daughter now, you will only get the worst possible outcome." As a result, it is better to discuss the wish after settling it, otherwise, she will not fulfill other people's wishes casually."
He called Caster his daughter very shamelessly, even though he had no idea about it half a moment ago.
"Hurry up and hand over your soul, or Kiritsugu will give you away." Irisviel was there to make trouble.
"I-" "Bang!" Caster was distracted and turned into a cup.
"Do you want to be eligible to make a wish based on your contribution in the battle?" Kirei Kotomine answered coldly: "That thing is not easy to deal with. What if you accidentally kill other people during the battle?"
A restarted Holy Grail War? Be the one who survives to the end while guaranteeing the destruction of the Holy Grail?
"Well, then just spend his wish quota to resurrect the killed person." The golden Holy Grail shook and turned back into caster.
"Can you resurrect others?" "Wish quota?" Kotomine Kirei and Emiya Kiritsugu said in unison again.
"The 'cup' realizes the third method of 'materialization of the soul'. When you hear this magic, wouldn't your first reaction be to resurrect people?" Caster tilted his head, with an inexplicable light in his eyes: "As for the wish list ——Because what becomes the Holy Grail is not an ordinary Holy Grail instrument, but a heroic spirit, so after the Grail appears, all surviving combatants are eligible to make wishes."
So that's it... When most of the people were relieved, Irisviel suddenly hugged her hard.
"Illya! This was your plan from the beginning, right?! You already knew that if there was only one wish, Kiritsugu would never let go of other Masters, right!?" Although Weber couldn't see her face, But her shock and anger could be heard just from her voice.
"Uh... that..." Caster, no, Illya seemed to be caught off guard by her mother's sudden outburst and didn't know how to react at all.
Will not let other Masters go... Webb looked around and found Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant Kuu Maiya in a location that was very suitable for concealment and sneak attacks. They could cooperate with him to form firepower - if suddenly If the talks fall apart, and as expected, Kotomine Kirei will be outside the range of this firepower.
"Six souls are enough to make a wish," Irisviel suddenly said quickly: "I make a wish to the Holy Grail: I will replace Illya and become the vessel of the Holy Grail!"
"Wait?!" Illya's eyes widened: "Although I can refuse other people's ordinary wishes, but mother, if you make this wish as a vessel of the Holy Grail -"
【【as you wish】】
There was a sound that made people feel trembling and fear just by hearing it, as if it came from outside the world. At the same time, the Great Holy Grail began to erupt black mud into the sky like a volcano.
