I, Tokisaki Kurumi, a Wanderer

Page 42

The king of knights doesn't understand people's hearts?maybe.

The wind on the roof was a little cold, and the large cigarette smoke glowed a hazy purple in the morning light.

Emiya Kiritsugu was indeed here, looking at Fuyuki City under the mist in the distance, lighting cigarettes one by one.

The ideal that I had been chasing for a lifetime burst like a bubble, and 9 years of preparation came to nothing.

Even such a ruthless machine felt at a loss.

In order to obtain the Holy Grail with the smallest sacrifice, it turned into destroying the Holy Grail in order to prevent the sacrifice.

···

The sound of pressing footsteps came, and Kiritsugu knew it was Saber without looking at it.She is the only one in this castle who is such a solemn 'knight', but, is this guy coming to him too?

Did you come to the rooftop early in the morning to get some air?

It wasn't until Saber stood still that he turned to look at his Servant.

Then he froze.

Saber's emerald green eyes were low and calm, almost pitiful.

"Master, what exactly are you looking for?"

Until now, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been ignoring Saber almost completely, looked at the pitiful eyes, and finally changed.

Like boiling anger.

Whose mercy do I need?

"Destroy the Holy Grail..." he said through gritted teeth, his grey-black eyes flickering brightly.

Saber finally understands that it is not this world that needs to be saved, but Emiya Kiritsugu, right?

"I'm talking about your ideals, do you remember?"

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the girl in front of him, and probably understood what was going on.Under the contract, the Servant and the Master occasionally interlace their memories in the form of dreams to increase their compatibility.

But since the war, he has been using 'autosuggestion' to replace sleep, but missed the dream.

I need your mercy?He smiled contemptuously.

"You just need to act as a straggler to attract the attention of those Servants." Emiya Kiritsugu said indifferently. "Just get rid of those Masters and Servants, and then release the Noble Phantasm to destroy the Holy Grail at the end."

This is not what I want to hear. Saber stepped forward, grabbed Emiya Kiritsugu's collar, and almost pressed him against the railing forcefully.

"—Emiya Kiritsugu."

"Your anger, your lamentation, isn't what those who seek justice seek."

"Kiritsugu, you should believe more than anyone and want to be a hero who saves the world—isn't it?"

···

The man looked down at the sullen lion-like guy, and the cigarette butt fell to the ground.

"Justice is..."

"Justice cannot save the world." The emerald eyes were angry, "You want to say that, right?"

"Then have you abandoned your ideals?"

···

Some things seem to have faded away in a little time.

After a long silence, the atmosphere on the rooftop was extremely depressing.
