Endless Stories: Beginning with Type Moon

Chapter 171 How should the bad guys laugh?
In the cool morning air, Emiya Kiritsugu had already appeared in front of a certain abandoned house in Miyama Town.

As an old building that has been built for more than dozens of years, it has not undergone any repairs or renovations. There is even an earthen warehouse built in the previous era in the yard. This is what he bought for Irisviel as a preparatory base. The place.

Considering that the city of Einzbern outside the city has also been attacked by the enemy, it is absolutely not meaningless to buy this hiding place.

Saber is not here.I can feel the existence of the Servant through the command spell, but now I don't feel it at all.

I'm afraid she is on her way to Rider's base right now, and Kiritsugu, aware of this, also intends to catch up.

For a trainee magician like Weber, as long as he mastered his hiding place, it would be very easy to assassinate him.

However, it was only after Saber lured the enemy Servant away that he could start.

Last night, Kiritsugu also followed Tosaka Tokiomi, who came out of Fuyuki Church alone, all the way to Tosaka Prefecture, but he never had a chance to make a move.

He could feel Archer watching the situation from somewhere.If you rashly attack the Master in this situation, it is tantamount to suicide.

Although the location of the target had been determined, Kiritsugu did not go directly to the scene.Instead, they rushed to this abandoned house as a temporary base.It wasn't his intuition, but a harbinger of many factors.

——I'm afraid this will be his last chance to communicate with his wife.

Now that four Servants have been killed, Kiritsugu is very clear about the state of Irisviel, the "vessel" of the Holy Grail.

If his heart was very fragile, he would never have come here.

The meeting with his wife now is a test for Kiritsugu, and a punishment for himself.As a sacrifice for the Holy Grail that he pursued, he needed to sacrifice the life of the woman he loved deeply—he had to face up to this reality, and he couldn't show even the slightest wavering.

If he can pass this test, then Emiya Kiritsugu will definitely be able to overcome all inner entanglements without any hesitation, and he will definitely hold the Holy Grail in his hands like a machine with precision and certainty.

Therefore, this is the final and biggest test of the self known as a combat weapon.

If he didn't endure it... it means that this man named Emiya Kiritsugu has all the ideals in his chest.

Kiritsugu stood in front of the warehouse door, and knocked a few times for the signal to open the door.Soon Maiya opened the heavy iron door from the inside.

Before he could say a word, Kiritsugu noticed the change of Maiya——Maiya, who always had cold and empty eyes, now had a nervous look in his eyes, as if his appearance made Maiya She felt shaken.

"...Are you here to see Madam?"

Kiritsugu nodded silently, Maiya lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Her state, now..."

"I know, I understand."

No matter what Kiritsugu said, he had to see the scene in this warehouse with his own eyes, and he was already mentally prepared.

Knowing this, Maiya didn't continue to say anything to get out of the way, and then walked to the outside of the warehouse, leaving space for the couple.

In a corner of the dark warehouse, Irisviel was quietly lying in a magic circle full of pulsating magic power——this figure evoked Kiritsugu's memory.

The same was true for the first encounter between Kiritsugu and Irisviel.He was brought by Chief Ahad to Irisviel who was sleeping in the deepest part of the Einzbern house's workshop, in the amniotic tank.

Why give such a beautiful appearance to a device that is the Holy Grail—a device that is only a few years old?
At that time, I really felt very incredible.

"Is this guy the Holy Grail?"

When I asked the old magician beside me, she who was asleep suddenly opened her eyes, and looked into her eyes through the amniotic fluid floating in front of her, eyes full of deep crimson, and Kiritsugu completely fell to the ground. I was tempted, and I still can't forget it until now.

Now, it's pretty much the same as it was then.Irisviel opened her eyes, and Kiritsugu looked at each other, then smiled softly.

"Ah... Kiritsugu..." Irisviel stretched out her hand, stroking Kiritsugu's cheek.

It's just such a simple movement, for the current Irisviel, it also needs to consume a lot of physical strength-her cold fingers spasm slightly, which shows this fact.

"You're really here...I'm really not dreaming..."

"Well, here I am."

"Kiritsugu, I have something to tell you...you come closer..."

Kiritsugu leaned over indifferently, with his limbs touching the ground, he tried his best to lower his body for his weak wife, and put his ear to her mouth.

"It's probably tonight... I gradually felt that the ancestor of Justisa was calling me. Although I only felt it very weakly, I felt it. She told me to go..."

"Um?!"

Kiritsugu was startled, why could the wife who is the Holy Grail container feel this kind of information?
In the past Holy Grail Wars that I learned about when I was at Einzbern's house, this situation has never happened before!

Could it be that the place where the Holy Grail descended this time has been confirmed?
"I see. I see. I'll send you there as soon as possible."

After learning of this unexpected news, Kiritsugu still decided to temporarily suspend the search for the assassination, and send his wife to the Great Hole first.

As it happens, the Liudong Temple where the big hole is located has already been occupied by him and he has laid a lot of traps in advance, which means that it is safer than here!

"By the way, Kiritsugu, I want to return this..."

Kiritsugu, who knew what his wife was going to say, also used actions to stop Irisviel.

"Don't worry, I'll send you there first."

Seeing Kiritsugu hugging her, Irisviel didn't say anything more, this might be the last hug she felt from her beloved husband in this life.

……

"Kiritsugu? Madame, she..."

At the door, seeing Kiritsugu holding Irisviel who was so weak that he was only breathing slightly, Maiya just wanted to ask, but Kiritsugu gave the answer and instructions indifferently.

"Change the base and prepare the vehicle."

"Yes."

……

In the large cavity under Liudong Temple, a magic circle full of flowing magic power was drawn and Irisviel was carefully placed in it. Kiritsugu once again started the last conversation and tenderness with his wife.

During the period, Irisviel returned the Avalon in her body (the utopia that remained independent of the world) to Kiritsugu, but this also made Irisviel even weaker, and she couldn't even turn over.

"Give all the happiness I didn't feel...all the rest to Ilya...your daughter—my most important Ilya."

"Be sure to take that child..."

"Let that child...show me everything I haven't seen. Let her see...the cherry blossoms in spring...the white clouds in summer..."

While Kiritsugu was walking towards the outside of the big void, Irisviel's words just now lingered in Kiritsugu's mind.

Kiritsugu understood the reason why Irisviel, who was clearly on the verge of destruction, could still smile so strongly just now.

A mother who pins her hope on her child has no fear.That's why she smiled and faced her own demise without fear.

After telling Maiya who had just set up a warning familiar outside the entrance of the cave to let him do the guard work, Kiritsugu took Avalon and left alone, but at this time Maiya called him to stop again.

"Kiritsugu..."

"what happened?"

Maiya looked at Kiritsugu's turned eyes, stared at them for a while, then sighed slightly, then lowered her head and looked down, and said, "Finally, it's back again. Your previous expression."

……

It's been a while since Kiritsugu left, and Maiya also talked a lot by Irisviel's side, anyway, every word and every line revolves around a man.

Shen Er, who was hiding in the dark, also cast aside this kind of man who is not like a harem but better than a harem!
nausea!Pooh!I, Matou Shinji, will always despise a man like you!
no more!can not watch anymore!
After gently hooking the corners of his mouth, Shinji also gave an order to Zaid who was also lurking aside.

'Do it. '

……

The chest was severely injured by the sudden attack in an instant, and the blood gushed from the throat unstoppably. Maiya, who couldn't speak clearly, was knocked to the ground before she even had time to take out the weapon from her pocket.

"Just keep your life. Don't let her die. Be careful. Don't let her find a chance to commit suicide."

Hearing the strange man's voice, Maiya, who was subdued by Zaid, stared at the man who appeared in front of the magic circle in an instant, and lowered his body to cover Irisviel's mouth.

"Cough cough... um..."

Maiya really wanted to speak, but the unstoppable blood in her throat restricted her language function.

The walkie-talkie and various communication tools were also destroyed by Zeid immediately.

Looking at the ordinary detective in front of her that she had been monitoring, Maiya finally knew that the biggest enemy in this Holy Grail War was not the so-called Kotomine Kirei.

It was this ordinary detective who was not taken seriously!
Kiritsugu!Must... must notice...

Maiya hoped so from the bottom of her heart.

"Master, why don't you let your subordinates kill this woman?"

Listening to Zaid's question, Shinji looked down at Irisviel who was unable to speak and could only stare at him.

"Of course... I left it for Emiya Kiritsugu to make another choice. How would he choose me? I am very much looking forward to his answer..."

Looking at Shinji who bent his eyes and smiled like a spring breeze, although he didn't quite understand, Zaid once again subconsciously realized the fact that his Master is not a good person.

And this villain can still laugh like this!
Only good people laugh like that!
Isn't it a little inappropriate for the villains around you to laugh like this?Absolutely inappropriate!But... why do I feel so harmonious?

Zaid was puzzled, but he still followed his master's order.

Gan!Compared with the master, I am far behind!
