Chapter Eighty-Seven: Hope for the Future
The next day, news was broadcast on television about the destruction of Fuyuki City by unknown forces. In the Amada Tofu Workshop, Xun Xin, Conquest King, Weber, Yan Ye, Yao Yue, and Chilian are sitting in front of the TV and listening to the government and so-called experts explain the ins and outs of this matter to the people.
"Ahhh......h After all, there are heavy casualties, and the heart search can't use magic such as the Great Resurrection Technique from the other world, otherwise when the time comes, he will return to the Infinite Heart, and Webb, who has been in contact with him, is estimated to be arrested by the Magic Association's group of magicians who are mostly mentally abnormal, and interrogated and dissected by the way.
"Really, boy. I'm also a friend of mine, but don't be afraid. "The King of Conquest doesn't care on the surface, huh...... In fact, Istandal also knows very well that the survival of his servent is also concerned by that group of magicians. After the Holy Grail War, the Immortal Spirits who did not return to the Valhalla Throne but survived, whether it was used as combat power or for research, were top-notch existences, and if they could get this information, it would be a good way to improve the strength of the family for the group of magicians who claimed to be nobles. It is even more important for the group of designated seal magicians, although the group of magicians who are being hunted by the Magic Association are extremely powerful, if the combat power of the Heroic Spirit level can be obtained, even if they are facing the magicians, they are not without the power to fight, let alone the group of magicians who come to hunt down them. (Except for Bazette, who has a Noble Phantasm backlight sword and resurrection magic, which has a restraining effect on the treasure of the Heroic Spirit.) )
"Let's not talk about this for a while, the Magic Association doesn't know about this side yet, and the batch of magic cannons I just sent over have been directly vaporized. The death of a squad of magicians should be able to drag on for a while, enough for us to cover up the situation here to the point where it doesn't affect us. Picking up a tea jar that could hold a liter of tea at hand and drinking it all, Xunxin continued: "In the early hours of this morning, Chilian has already gone to clean up our traces, and with Chilian's level, the group of magicians should not find any evidence of our existence here. The Templar Church has just arrived over there, and has directly put the things over there into the other dimension, and in a short time, we can bring back the ruins that may expose us with the information about the Master. I've made a lot of talismans on the Conquest King's side to hide his servant aura, but you, Weber, will have some trouble. After all, you stole your mentor's relics, and I talked about your mentor as well, and although he promised to keep this a secret for you, the theft of the relics is recorded in the Clock Tower, so you may be troubled by those people when you return to the Clock Tower. ”
Weber agrees with the concerns about finding the heart. "Indeed, those guys who only know the supremacy of blood and the struggle for power will definitely take the opportunity to suppress Mr. Kenneth this time, although I am only a nobody in the clock tower, but those nobles who tried to pull Mr. Kenneth into the water will definitely be involved in my affairs."
"Not bad, boy. You can think of all these things. If you had been in the past, you would have just taken a stupid boat back and been arrested by those magicians. The King of Conquest laughed and patted his master, almost knocking Webb out of the way, it seems that after solving the problem of the low quality of the innate magic circuit, Webber needs to worry about his short stature.
"Anyway, where did that gloomy Uncle Emiya and Mr. Kenneth go?"
"Emiya Kiritsugu, he and Elle Sophie adopted the boy he rescued from the ruins earlier, and it seems that he is called Emiya Shirou. They bought a small traditional Japanese-style house in Fuyuki City, and they probably wouldn't have returned to Einzberen, Germany, without receiving the Holy Grail. Let's talk about Emiya Kiritsugu's body...... After the battle with Yan Feng Qili, I was doused with black mud flowing from the Holy Grail, and even I couldn't dispel the curse that the evil of this world attached to Emiya Kiritsugu. As for Kenneth, he accompanied Solawy on a trip after the Holy Grail War, and of course avoided the magicians who came to investigate. ”
"Is that so...... It's a good result, compared to the previous three times...... "The casualties of the masters are the same, the fewest master deaths since the beginning of the Holy Grail War."
"Yan Ye, what are you going to do after the rebuilding of the house?"
"Do you need to say anything? Naturally, I'm living with Rin, Sakura, and Aoi. Shichen is dead, Aoi and the others have lost their source of livelihood and have to face the exploitation of the magic association, with the reputation that the Maki family has accumulated over the years as a warning, those magicians will not act rashly, and the Maki family probably only has a reputation left......"
"But it's hard for you to quit once you've stepped into the world of magic, and with the equipment I gave you, as long as you use it skillfully, it won't be difficult to deal with elite-level magicians. But beware, some of those Dead Apostles can use ** to resist your lightsaber, and you should be careful when encountering this kind of opponent. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not such a simple man who will die." Yan Ye patted his chest and assured Xunxin.
"In the end, I handed over some information and equipment to Kiritsugu Emiya, to be precise, his adopted son. Yanye, I estimate that Emiya Kiritsugu's body should not last long, and it will be up to you to take care of that little guy from Emiya's family then......"
After the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu's health deteriorated, and so did Ellie Sophie, who had been taking care of Emiya Kiritsugu, and the artificial human body prepared for the Holy Grail underwent a lot of adjustments to bind the souls of the Heroic Spirits, but this adjustment also left a fatal flaw in Elemiya's body. Knowing that his wife's heart might be peeped upon by the family of Einzbelen, who are known for their alchemy, he returns to Einzberen alone to try to retrieve his daughter Elijah. However, the barrier placed outside the castle by Ahad Erzbelen, the head of the family, blocked Emiya Kiritsugu's footsteps, presumably to punish Emiya Kiritsugu for not being able to bring the Holy Grail back. If it was Emiya Kiritsugu, who was once known as a magician killer, he might be able to break through this extremely cold barrier and force his way into the castle to come to his daughter's side. However, the cursed muscles of the current Emiya Kiritsugu in this life began to atrophy, his eyes became blurry, and his ears gradually lost hearing, so he had to return in vain.
Although he wanted to ask for his heart to pick up Ilya, when Emiya Kiritsugu came to Amada Tofu Factory, he found that the store in front of him had long been replaced by a large shopping mall, so Emiya Kiritsugu could only go back in frustration. Later, in addition to teaching his adopted son Emiya Shirou with his wife and the head of the Maki family, Emiya Kiritsugu would secretly enter the Enzo Mountains with explosives to explore the movement of the leylines in his spare time, and finally set up a very hidden device to absorb the leylines, which could absorb enough magic power to cause an earthquake to collapse the hollow in the Enzo Mountain, causing irreversible damage to the Great Holy Grail. This is also the last time Emiya Kiritsugu used magic, and in order to stop the evil of this world, Emiya Kiritsugu fought for the only remaining life.
Webber and Kenneth returned to the Clock Tower, and although they were reprimanded by the other nobles, the two of them, who had grown up greatly in the Holy Grail War, solved the matter with great skill. At the same time, Kenneth also recognized his students, and the two often exchanged academic aspects. Under the effect of the magic furnace placed in Webber's body as a conceptual weapon, Weber's biggest shortcomings in magic cultivation were filled, and the process in the field of magic was greatly accelerated.
Makiriya and Tosaka Aoi, who should now be called Makiri, live with Rin and Sakura, who were left behind by Tosaka Tokitomi, in the re-encapsulated Maki House. However, Xun Xin overlooked one thing, that is, Yan Feng Qili, who was soaked in the black mud, did not die, and Yan Feng Qili, who thought that he had already been vaporized under the extreme spark, was lucky to survive. According to Tosaka Tokitoki's will, Yan Feng Qili is Tosaka Rin's guardian. Although from the video left by Xun Xin, Aoi Tosaka learned that Yan Feng Qili was the murderer of her husband, but in order to ensure the safety of Rin Tosaka, Maki Yanya and others could only endure it and did not expose his true face.
Five years later, at night, Emiya Kiritsugu and Ellie Sophie sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the full moon in the night sky. Beside them is their adopted child, Emiya Shirou, a survivor who was once rescued from the rubble.
Emiya Kiritsugu recalled his life, when he was young, he killed his father for the so-called justice and dreams, and when he became an adult, he personally launched a single missile to kill Natalia, who raised him and could be said to be his mother, because of the survival of most people. Kill, kill, kill, kill. That's probably the life of Emiya Kiritsugu, whose whole life is to erase the few in order to survive the majority.
"When I was very young, I longed for justice to be the embodiment of justice."
Hearing Emiya Kiritsugu's words, Shirou frowned and looked at his adoptive father. "What is this, you said that you once dreamed of it, but now you have given up?"
"Well, it's a bit of a pity. Heroes also have a time limit, and once you become an adult, it is difficult to achieve it. If only I had realized this sooner. Ellie Sophie leaned on the shoulder of Emiya Kiritsugu, and the beautiful moonlight shone on the three of them, serene and beautiful.
"Really? There's no way around it. Shirou seemed to understand his adoptive father's words, and Emiya Kiritsugu could only respond with a little sadness.
"yes. It's really helpless. ”
But then, Shirou's words made the tired eyes of Emiya Kiritsugu and Ellie Sophie shine again.
"Well, if you can't do it anymore, let me do it for you. Daddy is already an adult, so there may be no way. But I'm fine. So, leave it to me and take Daddy's dreams. ”
Shirou's innocent and determined eyes reminded Emiya Kiritsugu of the vows he had made, and this original thought and this precious and pure prayer will surely become the most beautiful memories that will remain in Shirou's heart forever. No matter what setbacks he encounters in the future, this child will not lose his salvation and step into the abyss like himself.
"yes. Ahhhh ”
"Well, keep going, Shirou......"
In the evening breeze, the two embraced each other and fell into an eternal slumber. But even though they were dying, the last expression on the two of them was a relieved smile......
ps: The power of the world itself is a fifteen-heart evaluation, and even the current protagonist has no way to lift the curse of the evil of this world. So the ending left for Emiya Kiritsugu and others is still death. In addition, this chapter is not over, and there will be some things that the protagonist did before leaving that he did not explain. Well, it's better to take it as an extra.
PS2: Ask for recommendations, ask for book reviews, ask for collections.
