I, Li Xiang, Sister Control Giant

Just when Rika was hesitant, worried that this news would make Kiritsugu emotional problems, Kiritsugu suddenly grinned.

"Lixiang, you are a good sister, but you are not a good fighter. I secretly observe your interactions with Meiyou every day, and I have already prepared myself mentally."

The unbearable knot in the heart, the deformed fantasy after experiencing a certain incident, made the old man who was entangled in the bruises and bruises laughed out of his heart, feeling a little lonely.

"I want to save the world, save everyone in the world, but I have taken too many detours and hesitated before reaching the final step of success."

"I may not be able to support it for long."

Kiritsugu spit out a mouthful of black blood, and the strange substance in the blood, like black mud, stuck to the floor and gave off a strange smell.

Before Tachika could react, Kiritsugu collapsed into a coma.

……

……

In a blink of an eye, the moon and stars were thin, and Ritsuka, who carried Kiritsugu to the hospital, and Kiritsugu, who had sobered up, returned to the house.

After coaxing Miyu to sleep after dinner, Tachika stepped on the wooden corridor, came to the courtyard, and found Kiritsugu beside the corridor.

Kiritsugu didn't turn his head when he heard the voice, he just looked down at the water pool on the ground after the rain, using it as a mirror to look at himself and the bright moon hanging in the sky.

His chin was full of stubble, and compared to his former high spirits, Kiritsugu sighed in his heart that he was still old after all...

"Kiritsugu, how are you feeling?"

Rubbing his messy hair, Kiritsugu laughed lowly, "It's okay, hasn't it always been like this since that time?"

Since that time, after encountering the black mud that devoured everything, Kiritsugu's health has deteriorated.

It was that thing that caused something.

Holding a bowl of boiled medicine, Lixiang gently placed the bowl next to Kiritsugu's hand, then sat down with her legs crossed at a distance, and also began to enjoy the night view.

"—I, for what I think is right, have been making mistakes."

"And in order to correct my mistakes, I kept making more mistakes, and finally lived like this."

After suffocating the bitter soup, Kiritsugu, whose chest was stuffy for a while, took a deep breath, put a pocky in his mouth, and used snacks to suppress his cravings as he used to.

"Maybe, I have neither the qualifications nor the ability, but I make choices instead of humans?"

"When everything I've done fails, I start to pursue those easy miracles, but there are not so many miracles in the world."

Kiritsugu put the bowl back between the two of them, chewing on a slightly sweet biscuit stick to ease the bitter taste in his mouth.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the moon reflected in the water, and said slowly, "I, who are chasing miracles, are like a monkey catching the moon in the water... I have experienced a journey like a dark night - to pursue, The invisible moon."

Kacha Kacha chewing the cookie stick, Kiritsugu seemed to be lamenting his life, as if he was laughing at his cowardice.

"Don't be like that, you're talking like you see a revolving lantern."

Li Xiang's heart was a little flustered, but she forced herself to calm down and smiled, "Those who believe in miracles are as great as miracles themselves!"

"Yeah, maybe it is."

Kiritsugu turned slightly, looked at Tachika's profile, and laughed heartily, very relieved and reassured.

"I don't have long to live."

"Nonsense, there must be a solution to that thing in your body. Give me a little more time, and I will find a miracle."

The beautiful and incomparably delicate crystal dice slowly floated up, and Kiritsugu couldn't see this thing, but this was also Lika's only hope right now, the hope of curing Kiritsugu.

She doesn't know the working principle of this thing, but this is the basis for her to become stronger, is it possible to get the ability similar to a doctor? !

Whether it is possible to derive the power to heal Kiritsugu, Lika is trying to find a way every day, but half a month has passed quietly, except for the 0.5% increase in the synchronism value of 'Emiya Shirou', this thing has not changed at all, and The power of Meiyou is also becoming less and less obvious.

The image of the moon was reflected in her eyes, and the accumulated tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and Lika closed her eyes.

"I've made too many mistakes, maybe the only right thing is to save you in the rubble."

"Lixiang, you're right, I've always been a bad guy, I hope you don't go my way."

He took out a pistol from his bosom, the magic dress Kiritsugu had been using all along—large-caliber hunting pistols, Thompson/Center Arms.

Magic dresses are divided into auxiliary dresses and limited functions. The first is what the magician uses to supplement the magic power when using magic, and the second is that the dress itself has a preset effect, and it will exert that effect when used.

This gun of Kiritsugu is undoubtedly the second type, and it is also the source of his magician killer name, a big killer aimed at regular magicians in the Moon World.

Along with it, there are thirty special bullets, Kiritsugu's housekeeper, the origin bullet.

"... Kiritsugu?"

No response, Kiritsugu just loaded the bullet and gun and put them in Tachika's hand.

"But don't dislike it. Maybe it's not as helpful as your ability, but it's better than nothing, isn't it?"

"Put it up with your crystal dice, and take my share to protect Meiyou."

When the conversation was over, Kiritsugu chuckled in satisfaction as the attire and bullets disappeared into Tachika's hands, and reached out to touch Tatsuka's head.

He slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, and Kiritsugu lit it and puffed out the clouds. The choking smoke made him cough, but Rikka did not stop him from continuing to smoke. this state.

Finally, the two of them—

We watched the stars all night together.

Part 17 Chapter [-] Pain and Regret

After the conversation under the night sky was over, Kiritsugu sat at the dining table the next day after a long absence, ate a meal with Tachika and Miyu with a smile on his face, and then cleaned up together.

Because of Kiritsugu's physical problems, Rika originally did not allow him to consume excessive physical energy, but he couldn't bear Kiritsugu's long-lost refreshment, and the smile that came from the heart looked very happy. Rika was smiling like this. Silent before.

Miyu maintained a high mood all day, and Kiritsugu also played with the two of them all day, before falling asleep peacefully when night fell.

Never woke up again.

……

……

Kiritsugu, who died of illness, was buried with Miyu, the sky was raining continuously, and the rain in Fuyuki City probably wouldn't stop for a while.

Wet Rika's whole body, and the water running down her face, I don't know whether it was rain or tears, stood in front of Kiritsugu's tomb, her back looking a little lonely in the rain.

After saying goodbye to Kiritsugu, Rikka returned to the Emiya residence. Suddenly, the whole world seemed to be a lot deserted, and she acted as her sister as always.

Boiled the bath water and helped Meiyou wipe her hair clean to prevent her from catching a cold. Then she took her to take a bath, eliminating the sticky condition on her body due to the rain.

Nothing has changed at all, but the communication between them has been much less, the laughter and laughter that started to appear between the sisters has disappeared, and Miyu has been silent for a while, perhaps because she doesn't know what to say.

The world is cruel. The determined Miyu and Kiritsugu got along well for a day, and then everything changed, and Kiritsugu disappeared from the world——

Disappeared in the world belonging to Rika.

For the next few days, the communication between the two ceased to exist, and the family was just maintained mechanically. Pale pain shrouded the Emiya Residence, and it was not until Miyu's birthday that Lixiang recovered some spirits. .

"Sister, what shall we have for lunch today?"

"Hamburger meat, there are ready-made materials."

In the living room, Li Xiang, who was cleaning the tableware in the open kitchen, glanced at Meiyou who was in front of him, forced a smile, stretched out her hand and rubbed Meiyou's head, the depression in her eyes was a little less.

Being gently stroked, the usual movements made Meiyou stunned for a while, then she smiled and stretched out her hand to grab Lixiang's clothes, "Sister, I'm here to help too."

Finally opened the chat box, and amid the crisp sound of the kitchen knife slicing on the chopping board, Miyu and Lixiang began to chat without a word.

Onions, carrots, eggs, etc. have all become their topics, and smiles gradually returned to their faces. Although there was some helplessness and bitterness, the improvement had already appeared, and it might not be long before they could get out of the sadness together. Ambience.

After all, Li Xiang's subconscious has the loneliness she has been accustomed to for more than ten years, and there are people around her who can accompany her.

Time slipped away from his fingers little by little, and soon the two plates of hamburger meat were formed, and a delicious lunch was born in the hands of Lixiang and Miyu. Lixiang also took out the cakes and candles prepared in advance.

This is a very different birthday. It brought a pair of unrelated sisters closer to each other, and helped each other to let go of their sorrows together.

……

When night falls, everything is silent.

The peaceful Fuyuki City was plunged into darkness, and a large number of lights were extinguished in the residential area. Among them, the more luxurious Emiya Residence had a room with lights on. In the room, one big and two small had changed into pajamas and were ready to go to sleep. .

After coaxing Miyu to sleep, Rika, who was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, was not very sleepy, and began to wipe the magic dress she took out from the crystal dice.

Most of the 20 faces are debris, and there are not many really useful things. Except for one face that represents the character's ability, the rest are also used as storage tools by her to put some items.

Wipe the weapon with a clean towel, and arrange the bullets one by one, and Lixiang put them back into the crystal dice one by one.

"Huh~ It's really useless, in the end, it still doesn't make any sense."

What is the use of this thing, to embody the power of a certain Two-dimensional character, and to reproduce it on itself?

Since Kiritsugu's body had problems, she had been praying to the crystal dice for the possibility of healing Kiritsugu, but there was no response from this thing, not even a root hair appeared.

Gently pinching the solid-looking crystal dice, this thing is indestructible, intuition tells her so...

"I still don't understand the principle of this thing."

The golden finger is a must-have for traversers. It is reasonable to say that it is a standard system for every traverser, and it also has other blessings. Lixiang believes that her strange thing should also be regarded as a golden finger.

But whose golden finger is so pitiful, it doesn't even respond when needed, and even has to figure out how to use it.

Without after-sales service, Lixiang could only sigh while flipping through the small and exquisite crystal dice in his hand, checking the contents of the 20 faces back and forth, and zooming in on them one by one, but it is really meaningful. Just one.

……

【Emiya Shirou】

【Synchronization value (32%)】

……

Except for the men with white hair and brown eyes and red hair and brown eyes, there are only a few things that are convenient to use.

Is there an opportunity for triggering conditions?

Or is it just a handy storage tool?

But in this case, how should the guy named 'Emiya Shirou' in the picture be explained?

Rika was at a loss like never before, and Kiritsugu's departure was a little sudden, although it could be said to have been expected in some respects...

Li Xiang, whose thoughts began to wander unknowingly, was awakened by a voice.
