"Master of the house."
"I'm back."
Matou Kariya returned to Matou's house, and Matou Crane also opened the door of the magic camp and took Matou Kariya in.
"Well, it's okay."
Matou He also breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his brother.
"Go and stay with Sakura. Perhaps the person she wants to see the most right now is you."
".well?"
Matou Kariya raised his head in shock and looked at his brother.
"Sakura, does she know?"
Sighing, Matong He also nodded.
Matou Kariya's already heavy mood added to the gloom.
but--
He remembered.
I remembered Manlio's final words to him when he was leaving the stage.
Be sure to take good care of Sakura.
He took a deep breath and patted his face to remove all the heaviness and haze from his face, making himself look as calm and well-mannered as before.
"I will take good care of Sakura."
With that said, he walked towards the mansion.
Matonghe also turned around, looked at his brother's back, and was startled.
Then a smile appeared.
It seems that this Holy Grail War has at least allowed Kariya to grow.
Matou Shinji was in a bad mood.
The reason is naturally that his sister Matou Sakura is in a bad mood.
The Archer named Gilgamesh?
The culprit who killed Sakura's biological father and the servant who betrayed his master.
There was a dangerous and angry look in Matou Shinji's eyes.
Although he is still just a child, the emotion in his eyes has already formed a sense of oppression.
"Haha, this Holy Grail War is getting more and more interesting."
While angry, a smile appeared on Matou Shinji's lips.
Opening a small opening in the magic barrier that enveloped the Matou family from the inside, Matou Kariya took the transparent gem Gutai that he had sent out and received the message from the Gutai. .
This is the familiar he released before.
His magic, as long as he performs refined operations in this area, can only make simple rituals into low-level familiars. As long as there is a slight change in the production idea, it is enough.
Now, Uncle Kariya has been eliminated, and the Holy Grail War has entered a stage that favors the later stages.
So do you want to...?
"Ellie, are you awake?"
Emiya Kiritsugu helped the sleepy Irisviel up from the magic circle.
When they rushed back last night, they discovered that something was wrong with Irisviel.
Three Cavalry Servants have already been eliminated. This is not the worst situation now. As the Holy Grail War progresses, Irisviel's situation will only become more serious.
"Huh? Kiritsugu.? And Maiya-san."
Irisviel still looked a little dazed. She was lying in Emiya Kiritsugu's arms and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, as if her consciousness was not very clear.
".I'm sorry, Ellie, I'm sorry."
Seeing his lover's appearance, Emiya Kiritsugu gritted his teeth and hugged Irisviel into his arms, but he did not dare to hug her too hard.
But Irisviel could feel Emiya Kiritsugu's trembling.
She was stunned.
Then he smiled softly and patted Emiya Kiritsugu's back gently with one hand.
"Okay, Kiritsugu, it's okay."
"You just have to keep moving towards your goals."
Annuo stood outside the door, leaning silently against the doorpost, crossing his chest and saying nothing.
Three servants, already half of them.
When the next riding servant leaves the field, Irisviel will probably be in a state of unconsciousness for a long time.
As for his next opponent, if nothing else happens, he should be that guy Zuo Murun.
Zuo Cun was already eager to challenge him, plus what happened to Miyokawa before.
Rather, it is strange that Zuo Cun has not called in person until now.
He should be waiting.
Wait until you finish handling the matter at hand, and then truly become your opponent.
There is nothing to say about this.
They were once the same person, but after they were cut from the thread of origin, they became completely different individuals. Even if there are still some connections, it is not absolute.
Therefore, this does not prevent them from fighting in the Holy Grail War.
On the contrary, most of them are the kind of guys who are full of fighting spirit. If there is a chance to challenge each other, I believe many anno will be ecstatic.
Except for Lawrence, he really wouldn't be happy.
Leaving Irisviel temporarily in the care of Maiya, Emiya Kiritsugu walked out of the room and sat next to Anno, feeling a little slumped.
Although
"I have been prepared for this for a long time, but when I actually saw this scene, why did I..."
His voice was full of struggle and pain. He lowered his head and stopped talking mid-sentence. He just took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself.
He didn't speak for a long time, just sitting there, silently and fiercely smoking, without even a trace of expression in his eyes.
After a long time, when only the butt of the cigarette was left in his mouth, he raised his head slightly.
"Who will be our next opponent?"
He asked Annuo.
"If nothing else, it's Assassin."
"Don't you want to fight Archer?"
"Archer, I don't think he will lose to the King of Heroes."
Because of Caster, Archer and Rider were almost certain to face each other, so the remaining four servants were divided into two groups on the battlefield, which was just right.
".I really want to treat you as nothing more than a prop, Saber."
The two most powerful opponents needed to be defeated one after another. Even Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but feel that it was difficult to deal with them.
but.
"No matter what kind of opponent we face, we will win."
In order to win the Holy Grail War, he has sacrificed everything, even Irisviel.
If, if even this, can't save this world...!
Emiya Kiritsugu's nails dug into his hands, but just as he continued to exert force unconsciously, Anno's hand was placed on his wrist.
"I will bring victory to you."
"What you and Ellie have given is valuable no matter what."
"This is my recognition."
After saying this, Annuo let go of his hand.
Emiya Kiritsugu opened his palm and looked at the center of his palm. There were only a few slight marks there.
".Yeah."
He had some real sense of victory.
But...really.
Can you trust tools?
Obviously I also know that I can't trust other people too much.
This has brought an extremely painful price to myself.
