As a painter, how should I face the original heroine

Chapter 56 Iron Decision

"Master of Saber... do you want to win that much!? Do you want to get the Holy Grail so much!?"

Lancer pointed the tip of his spear at Emiya Kiritsugu, but under the protection of Black Saber, he was completely unsure of killing the other party before he fired. The current situation can only be described as helpless.

For the first time, Diarmuid really felt the cruelty of the Holy Grail War. This is not a duel between knights who gamble on honor, but a meat grinder where all the plots and tricks are used without any bottom line. It's either you or me. .

"..."

Emiya Kiritsugu remained silent and did not respond, but just tapped Sora Nazarai's head with the muzzle of a gun, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

If Saber could defeat Lancer, or if the sneak attack just now could have killed Kenneth, he would not have chosen this step.

"Lancer, give me the contract."

A slightly trembling voice sounded, Kenneth could not give up this opportunity to return to his hometown safely with his beloved woman. From the moment Sola fell into the hands of the other party, he actually had no choice.

"Yes... my master, that despicable villain is absolutely untrustworthy, please consider carefully."

Diarmuid actually does not reject sacrificing for his lord, but he is more worried about whether Emiya Kiritsugu will keep his promise, a guy like this who is active in the sewer is completely untrustworthy.

Without answering, Kenneth held the parchment with trembling hands, read the conditions of the contract over and over again, desperately thinking whether there was room for ambiguity in the content.

But it was obvious that he was at the end of his rope, giving up on Lancer?Give up this Holy Grail War, give up the glory of the Archibald family, give up your dignity, and surrender to this rat?

Finally, Kenneth had a decision in his heart. He stared at the last Command Seal on his right hand with slightly sad and regretful eyes, and issued a mandatory order to Lancer.

"I... order you as Master, Diarmuid Audina..."

Kenneth struggled to spit out a hoarse and low voice, which made the knight with two guns tremble in his heart.

In the end, is the result still the same?In order to change the unfortunate ending, I strongly hope to return to this world from the Throne of Heroes again.

But in the end, it was a repeat of the tragedy. He still failed to die in battle as a knight for the lord, and fell into the conspiracy of the enemy.

Yes, a knight like him who betrayed his oath only deserved to end up like this.

"Take Sora and get out of here!"

Just when Diarmuid was about to shoot himself, the Master's order had already been issued, but the content made him look back at his master in disbelief. Unfortunately, the body controlled by the command spell did not allow the spearman to make such an action .

Emiya Kiritsugu was also shocked, but his right hand was not affected in any way, and he pulled the trigger faithfully and without hesitation.

But under the power of the command spell, Lancer, who teleported in front of Sola, blocked the bullet with his back, hugged her and turned into a streamer to escape from the construction site.

From the beginning to the end, Saber stood in the same place without moving. It seemed that she had already made up her mind. As long as the Master did not use the Command Seal to force her to control her, she would let Diarmuid leave with the hostages.

Although Bei Wang also acts unscrupulously and ruthlessly, but her most fundamental part has not changed at all, she is still the same Artoria Pendragon.

Emiya Kiritsugu gave a cold snort of dissatisfaction, and pointed the gun at Kenneth, who was sitting alone in a wheelchair and had no ability to resist. Although the other party had lost all Command Seals, in order to prevent any accidents, he still had to deal with it. .

Looking nostalgicly at the direction in which his fiancée was rescued, the young monarch felt a little lost, so he might as well call it a day.

Slowly focusing his eyes on the face of the dehumanized man, he suddenly felt that the other person was hateful and equally pathetic. There was no one who persisted in his heart, and he was just a walking dead driven by "ideals".

"Hey, rat."

Kenneth looked at the dark muzzle pointing at himself, with a contemptuous expression that was almost sarcasm on his face.

boom--

The bullet passed through the paralyzed man's head in an instant, and the bright red blood spilled all over the dust and gravel ground. Kenneth El-Mello Archibald, one of the Twelve Monarchs of the Clock Tower, died in battle. In this seaside town located in the far east, he is the first Master to be eliminated from this Holy Grail War.

"You...what is the purpose of pursuing the Holy Grail? Don't use the trick of fooling Irisviel to deal with me. People like you are not even worthy of having the ideal of saving the world."

Bei Wang looked at Emiya Kiritsugu's dark golden pupils with violent anger, like the blade-like eyes when he aimed to shoot through the person he identified as an enemy. The "Master" disassembled.

Ding--

Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette, he didn't care about his Servant's questioning, and even felt a little bored, with the cigarette in his mouth, he still didn't say a word, looking at Saber with the same look of looking at a barking wild dog.

"Definitely kill him."

Humble quietly made a decision, even if the Command Seal prevented her from looking for other opportunities, as long as she was with this guy, she would not be able to wait for the Holy Grail she really wanted.

"Answer Saber's question, Kiritsugu, this time you have the obligation to explain anyway."

Irisviel, who originally turned her head and couldn't bear to watch Kenneth's tragic death, had no choice but to question her husband who had changed his temperament aloud this time.

After seeing Sola Nazelai who was bound to the ground, an unbelievable guess appeared in her mind.

"Should...not be able to do this, right?"

Irisviel comforted herself in this way. Although she had fully understood Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior style, there was a world of difference between the idea expressed in words and the shocking reality before her eyes.

This kind of behavior completely violated her conscience, which made her also begin to doubt the man she once trusted so much.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I let you see how I kill people, right? Ellie."

The eyes of Emiya Kiritsugu looking at his wife were full of bitterness and shame. He has always avoided the other party from contacting these "sacrifices", making Irisviel firmly believe in the greatness and loftiness of their ideals.

But a man with a tragic past has long known that "world peace" is by no means a simple ideal, and behind this beautiful vision is blood and bones

Chapter 57 Breaking the never-ending cycle of reincarnation

[Drip, task detected: Sad wish (optional)]

[Sorrowful wish: Emiya Kiritsugu, a man who will sacrifice innocent people on the scales, and at the same time feel sad for them.A man with blood on his hands, almost crushed by endless grief and lamentation.But before he realizes his "mistake", he will still continue that self-righteous and ridiculous delusion. 】

[Task Requirement: Bring Punishment to Himself]

[Task Reward: Destiny Points +4000]

[Task penalty: none]

[System Note: He thought he was a saint with extraordinary destiny, but he was actually just an ant controlled by fate. 】

"Hmm... It's a very loose mission, but the mission requirements are also vague. Punishment? For a sensitive guy like Emiya Kiritsugu, I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill him."

Li Wei, who received the notification of the system task, also came back to his senses at this time. The King of Heroes gave up the pursuit and went straight back to the Tohsaka mansion. He felt relieved and turned his attention back to the construction site. It's another internal strife.

"Kiritsugu, don't tell me, but tell Saber that she needs your explanation now."

Irisviel lowered her face, not wanting her husband to see her displeased expression, but the suppressed anxiety in her tone still exposed her.

"No, to those executioners who rejoice in such things as glory and renown, I say everything I say is right to the ears."

Emiya Kiritsugu uttered almost insulting words indifferently, it can be said that now he and his Servant have completely torn skins apart.
