Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

The sudden invitation was, in the final analysis, boring at work.

In that dull castle, every android looked like clockwork.The appearance is exquisite, but it is exquisite, but looking like a robot for a long time is not good.The members of the sect fully believed in the spirit of secrecy. As long as they were not deliberately summoned, they would never show up in a bright place, and their actions would be silent. Many times Rope almost thought he had met a ghost.

So he could only focus his attention on Illya.

"I kept you waiting."

A crisp girl's voice rang in Rope's ears, and she turned her head. Illya, who had finished dressing, was standing in front of the castle gate, with two exclusive maids, Sera and Lizziet, standing behind her.

The cute silver-haired elf didn't wear the purple dress that Rope had when she first met her. Today's Illya is a little more "civilian".

Her long silver hair was tied to one side by a lavender ribbon. Because the weather was not so hot, she put on a small women's casual suit. The lower body was a versatile style of skirt and white stockings, plus a black one. Small leather shoes, a very elegant and extravagant girly dress.

Sure enough, he's a nobleman, so he won't be seen as a monkey when he walks on the street... Ropey sighed and looked at himself again.

It seems that he also has no position to take responsibility for Illya.

The pure black suit matched his face, and the degree of attracting attention was not inferior to that of Illya.

"Is there any place Miss Ilya wants to go? In German, as a native, you should have more ideas, right? I'll do whatever I want."

"Yeah." Illya answered very plainly.

Rope didn't care much.This kind of semi-command invitation, the silver-haired loli is elated and has a ghost.

But maybe because it was the first time out of the castle, Illya's face didn't look much disgust, and there was a little curiosity in the depths of her red eyes.

Out of the forest path, a wide and winding road stretches down the hillside, and below is a city full of modernity and exoticism.

There was no one around, and there were a few bird calls. On such a road, Rope had a feeling that his mind was purified - or an illusion.

He is about to become the source of all evil, so what about purification...

"Lord Rope..." After a long time, Illya spoke first.

"Just call me Rope. Your mother couldn't change her tongue because she knew her before, and now she always adds "sir" to my name, so Illya shouldn't be too distant. "Rope smiled.

Who wants to be close to you!

Illya glanced at Rope in dissatisfaction, but still obediently dropped the title.

"Rope...you and your father fought in that war together eight years ago?"

"Yes."

"Then, do you know what kind of person your father is?"

Asking this kind of question to the enemy who killed her father, Illya felt a little strange, but it was still well pressed in her heart.

"Huh? Didn't Ahad and Irisviel talk about it?" Rope looked at the silver-haired loli next to him, who had just reached his waist.

"Your mother's words are more believable than what you learned from me, right?"

"No... Grandpa only said that he was a loser, and mother avoided talking about father's affairs." Illya shook her head: "I want to hear the comments of defeating my father's opponent."

"The opponent's comment..."

Rope raised his head.

It may be a preconceived idea. Whenever he sees a silver-haired loli, he can think of the willful, innocent, and cruel girl in the Fifth World War. Such a conversation full of "adult" flavor makes him a little uncomfortable.

She is a [-]-year-old girl with aristocratic education, I can thank Irisviel enough for not being ripped off in the face of the enemy, really...

He thought about it, then said.

"Although I might make you feel disgusted by saying this, Emiya Kiritsugu at that time was really a hypocrite indulging in fantasy."

After saving Emiya Shirou, that righteous partner will be much more normal, but thanks to Torope, Emiya Kiritsugu will never be able to become normal again.

Ilya frowned in disbelief.

"why?"

"For example. If there are two boats now, one with three hundred people and the other with two hundred people. These two boats happen to have holes that only you can mend, Illya, and they are about to sink. There is only time to repair one. And you are caught by the people on the boat with [-] people, will you compromise and repair the boat with [-] people?" Rope added: "The boat is panicked. Ordinary people, in general, can be called kind.”

"I will kill everyone on the boat and threaten the captain to sail back."

Illya said it of course.

"Why do I have to save them?"

"..."

Is there something wrong with my ability to describe?Thinking back on the question the Black Holy Grail asked Kiritsugu at the time, Rope always wondered if he had missed something important.

- Can't remember exactly.

"Cough..." Rope coughed lightly, without being too entangled: "...you don't ask me. Your father has no education and experience like yours. He is a righteous partner, so he will try his best to save what he sees. all of them."

"Then, if it's your father's choice, he'll give up the two-hundred-passenger boat and go for the three-hundred-larger boat. So, what to do with the crazy passengers?"

Rope took the pistol position.

"The answer is - kill them. Unlike Illya, who thinks about himself, Emiya Kiritsugu's "good intentions" are more terrifying digital salvation, ignoring his own selfish desires, and he has always held this concept in his life as a belief.That's why I would say he is a naive hypocrite. "

"……Always like this?"

"Yes, starting with the ability to fight, he has made such a choice countless times."
