Emiya Ilya

Chapter 39 40. The Origin of the Hero

"It hurts!"

In a gorgeously decorated room full of Western style, a girl about eight years old was sitting on a soft foreign bed, screaming in pain.

The girl has unusual silver-white flowing hair and red eyes.All this makes her stand out.

In this castle, however, such features can be seen everywhere.To say that the difference between the girl and the women in this castle may be her 1.1-meter height.

Although the girl was wearing pure white pajamas, through the collar and where the hands and feet were not covered by the clothes, it could be seen that the girl's whole body was covered with thick bandages.

Without getting too close, you can see that there is bright red oozing from the bandage.

Now I understand why the girl cried out in pain.

She was transformed when she was a fetus, and she still has to undergo follow-up magic surgery when she grows up. Every day, her body will be opened and she will suffer great pain.

The girl originally thought that her father would drag her out of this hell after the Holy Grail War, but one day, two days, three days, one week, two weeks, one month, two months have passed since the end of the Holy Grail War...

The father's shadow never appeared.

"Mother" appeared and told her—

"Kiritsugu has given up on us."

Just when the girl was disheartened and was about to accept her fate like this...

"boom--!!!"

Accompanied by the sound, the gate of Einzbern Castle was slammed open.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Soon after, there were several explosions.

"Da da da da da!!!"

The sound of gunfire coming from a distance continued to approach, and the girl's body trembled uncontrollably.

"Is it Kiritsugu? Or did he break in suddenly..."

The girl was both happy and afraid.

"Bang!!"

"ah!!?"

This time, the door to the girl's room was kicked open.

The girl was taken aback.

"Cut... Heir!?"

The person who came was a middle-aged Asian man, he was the biological father of the girl - Ilyasviel von Einzbern - Emiya Kiritsugu.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu is Illya's biological father, there is nothing similar between the two of them.

When the man saw Illya, he picked her up without worry and ran towards the window.

Before jumping out of the window, the man pulled out a melon grenade from under the windbreaker and threw it behind his back.

"boom--!"

The girl's room was reduced to ashes at this moment, but the man and the girl also landed successfully.

After landing, the man quickly stood up and fled towards the forest.

There are countless figures chasing after them, and there are also intangible birds with strange lines flying in the sky chasing them.

From time to time, some magic attacks would fall from the sky, and the speed of the figures on the ground was completely higher than him.

However, the man did not panic, relying on the many trees and terrain, the man flexibly avoided all attacks.

Compared with the speed of bullets, the speed of magic attacks seems to be slower.

With the submachine gun in his hand, the figure behind him couldn't get close to him.

When they reached a small open space, the man stopped suddenly.

Then I saw the man lift up the snow, it was a piece of white camouflage cloth.

A jeep painted with white camouflage paint appeared in front of the two.

It seems that the man has been preparing for this for a long time, or the man knows that he cannot compete with Einzbern, so he has prepared for this moment for a long time.However, no matter how long you prepare, you will only escape.

When the man drove away with the girl, the figure behind him also arrived.

"boom--!"

There was an explosion suddenly on the ground where the figure was stepping on.

This is a mine prepared by the man.

...............

...............

under the moonlight,
In a Japanese (Japanese) old house.

A middle-aged man and a silver-haired girl were sitting by the window admiring the moonlight together.

The two of them sat like this, one big and one small.

Since Kiritsugu rescued the girl, he has been away all year round and doesn't know what to do.

Sitting with her father like this is a rare moment for a girl.

What's more, Kiritsugu has always been regarded as a hero by the girl, and the girl enjoys being with her hero like this.

"When I was very young, I longed for a partner of justice~"

The man said a word without warning
"Ever dreamed? What is this? Have you given up now?"

The girl asked with a puzzled expression.

"Well, it's a bit of a pity. Heroes also have a time limit. Once you become an adult, it will be difficult to achieve. It would be great if I realized this earlier."

The man's eyes were empty and lifeless, and when he said this, his expression showed a trace of sadness.

"Is that so? There's no way."

"Yes. It's really helpless."

The man said sadly.

"Well, if your lord can't do it anymore, let me do it for you."

"My words are fine! So, leave it to me, Kiritsugu's dream!"

At this moment, a girl named Illya took over the ideal of "a partner of justice".

Hearing the girl's answer, the man froze for a moment, then replied with relief.

"Yeah. Ah~ I can feel at ease in this way."

Seeing the girl's innocent swearing, the man seemed to think of something, smiled heartily and fell asleep peacefully.

.........

.........

"Shiori! Wake up!!"

"Ah! It's Kotori."

"Aren't you going to travel today? Hurry up and get ready!!"

"Oh! Yes!"

The blue-haired girl remembered that they were going to travel to Okinawa today.

"Ah! Sorry sorry!"

"Really!"

The blue-haired girl quickly got up and changed her clothes.

"A partner of justice?"

While putting on her clothes, the girl recalled her dream and muttered to herself.

"Partners of Justice? What's that?"

The red-haired girl next to her repeated in doubt.
