Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes when he bumped into an old acquaintance who was almost crippled by him.
He reached out and quickly took out the gun from his windbreaker, aiming the black hole at his forehead, ready to send him to the west.
As for why Kirei appeared and what his purpose was, he didn't care at all. If he didn't appear, he would have to look for him.
The representative of the church looked at the magician killer who was about to shoot him in the head without saying a word. His pupils shrank and he said in a very calm tone:
"The Holy Grail War is over."
Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes were indifferent, and he put his finger on the trigger with a cold face.
Ren stretched out his hand to signal him to wait a moment, staring at Mapo who was covered in scars with his dark eyes:
"Kotomine Kirei, I was just about to spend some time searching for you, but I didn't expect you to come forward on your own initiative. It seems that you don't want to be killed like this. So, give us a reason to let you live."
The Holy Grail War has ended. It is not that important to kill Mapo who was almost crippled. Anyway, there will be no Fifth Holy Grail War.
Kirei then moved his eyes away from Kiritsugu and focused on Caster.
He had also witnessed the peak showdown between the King of Heroes and Wu Ming before.
He chose to run away during the battle with Kiritsugu because he thought Gilgamesh could steal the Holy Grail and destroy the magician killer's plan, but he was disappointed in the end.
"I can admit my crime." The representative replied.
This answer is somewhat beyond everyone's expectations. If Father Mapo admits his crime, he will definitely be severely punished by the Holy Church.
After all, his mission is to help Tokiomi obtain the Holy Grail, not to help Tokiomi meet God.
Kariya and Kiritsugu looked at each other, and then exchanged a look with Muming.
Kotomine Kirei had previously blamed Kiritsugu for Tokiomi's death. Although he was slandering him and there was actually insufficient evidence, it was not easy to clarify this misunderstanding.
Kiritsugu and Kariya also have an agreement, which affects how the three Gou families will get along in the future.
Kariya stared at Kirei and said, "Yes, if you are willing to admit your crime, I can spare your life."
He is not afraid of the priest repenting, and no matter what tricks the agent plays, Caster can easily get rid of him.
"No problem." Father Mapo's face was stiff and he stared at Kiritsugu, "But I have one condition. Tell me the truth about the Holy Grail and your wish!"
He had just seen the black hole in the sky, the essence of the Holy Grail, and Kiritsugu's pursuit was almost his last obsession.
As for being half crippled and admitting his crime and accepting punishment from the church, it is not that important.
The chilling cold wind blew the magician killer's trench coat, and Kiritsugu looked at the agent with a cold, dagger-like gaze. The latter's sharp eyes were also fixed on Kiritsugu.
Both of them had paralyzed faces, as if they were incapable of emotion, but they looked at each other with "passionate" eyes...
Ren's mouth twitched when he saw it, and Yan Ye's eyes looked a little strange.
…………
Early the next morning.
The deep night faded into darkness, the stars gradually disappeared, a fiery red sun rose from the sky, the blue sky was clear, and the gentle breeze swept away the gloom.
As if in a dream, the breathless and depressing atmosphere last night was swept away.
Fuyuki City seems to be separated from the outside world and integrated with the world of mortals again. The bustling traffic and endless flow make the city full of vitality.
A plane flew from the nearest airport to Germany.
Even on this flight to a foreign country, people were discussing the bizarre anomalies last night.
"Hey, do you know? There were a lot of strange things in the Yuanzang Mountain area last night. The old people said that the gods were angry." said a middle-aged uncle in a suit and leather shoes.
Some people disagreed and retorted after taking a sip of juice:
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just a mirage at most, and some meteorological problems, storms and earthquakes."
"That's not necessarily true. My uncle's daughter's husband's brother's friend is a policeman. He said that the entire shrine on Mount Enzo was destroyed, and the outside of Ryudou Temple was also in a mess.
What's even more bizarre is that large trees collapsed in pieces, but the buildings in Liudong Temple were intact, with not a single floor broken, but the forest at the foot of the mountain was destroyed.
It even left a large crater with a diameter of more than a kilometer, as if it was struck by a meteorite. Many people in Miyamanan Town said it was an alien invasion..."
"It's all just rumors, about aliens, angry gods... these are so ridiculous."
"It's hard to say, there have been a lot of strange things happening in Fuyuki City recently. My sister-in-law's brother's friend works in the Forestry Bureau and said that several forests suddenly withered in large areas..."
In the cabin, everyone was discussing the strange events of the past few days, and the atmosphere was quite lively, although their sources of information were all unreliable.
Ren sat on the window seat and looked at the sea of clouds, while Kiritsugu's father closed his eyes and meditated on the nearby seat.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He actually confessed." Renn picked up a glass of orange juice and said leisurely.
Kiritsugu then opened his eyes and said with an indifferent expression:
"For him, winning is not the first goal. After a complete defeat, he only wants an answer. On the contrary, he doesn't care much about his situation."
Ren nodded. Mapo was indeed someone who could not be guessed based on common sense.
That night at the foot of the mountain, after Kotomine Kirei learned from Kiritsugu the nature of the Holy Grail and Kiritsugu's ideal of saving the world, his whole person became a little strange.
Later late at night, Emiya Kiritsugu, Matou Kariya, and him brought Father Mapo back to Fuyuki City Church, and contacted Tohsaka Aoi, who had become a widow.
Kiritsugu, Kariya, and Aoi respectively represented the three Gou families. Under Ren's watch, they had a conversation with Kotomine Rimasa and the people from the Seido Church.
Father Mapo admitted in public that he stabbed Tokiomi in the back, secretly signed a contract with the King of Heroes in private, and abused his authority as a supervisor to collect intelligence.
This is definitely a scandal and will have a very bad impact if word spreads about it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After hearing this, Kotomine Rizheng felt as if the sky had fallen, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and then fell into a coma.
Tohsaka Aoi lost control of her emotions and fought Mapo no matter what... The scene was very chaotic for a time.
Since the old priest was suspected of having a stroke, the Holy Church was leaderless, and the last few parties agreed to talk again in three days.
But the tone has been set. Kotomine Kirei must be severely punished, and the Holy Church also needs to compensate the Tohsaka family. Otherwise, the Gosan family will tell the Magic Association about the matter and seek help from the association...
Strictly speaking, it was Kariya's request for Mapo to plead guilty.
Kariya wants to resolve the conflict between the Tosaka family and Kiritsugu to avoid possible conflicts between Rin and the Magician Killer in the future.
Kiritsugu himself didn't care much. The reason why he spared Mapo's life was to give Kariya face. Although the Holy Grail was useless, Kariya and Muming did help him.
When the flight arrived in Germany, it was snowing.
The cold wind blew across the earth, and goose-feather snowflakes swirled and fell, covering the earth with a thick layer of silver.
The Einzbern family's isolated winter city is located in a forest, and the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate.
Boom ~
Ren projected a distant ravaging hegemony, summoned the mighty wheel, and galloped all the way, directly breaking through the barriers and various magic traps, and broke into the castle.
The strange thing is that despite such a big movement, there was no reaction in the castle.
"Something's wrong."
Emiya Kiritsugu jumped off the Kamui wheel, kicked open the castle door with a gun, and hurriedly began to search the entire castle.
Ren followed closely behind, only to see no one in the hall.
There was silence, and no artificial human was seen. The two searched all the way, and finally found Illya crying in a bedroom on the second floor of the castle.
"Kiritsugu."
The little girl with red eyes threw herself into her father's arms.
Kiritsugu hugged his daughter and found that she was not injured. He was relieved but also a little confused:
"Ilia, where is the Ahad patriarch? Where are the others?"
Eubusta Kuhaid von Einzbern was the eighth generation head of the Einzbern family. Emiya Kiritsugu generally called him "Ahadion".
"That night, we suddenly heard Lady Justice's voice and knew that the Great Holy Grail had been destroyed.
Patriarch Ahad turned off his power, and everyone self-destructed. I was the only one left in the castle..."
There were crystal tears in Ilya's beautiful ruby-like eyes, and there was fear and sadness on her little face.
If Kiritsugu didn't come to her, she wouldn't be able to survive alone in the castle for long.
This result made the magician killer sigh, and after taking one last look at the lifeless and particularly deserted castle, he pulled Illya out of the castle.
Everything is over, and the thousand-year obsession is gone.
Obviously, the Einzbern family's factory that manufactured artificial humans was closed from the moment the Great Holy Grail was destroyed.
Except for Illya who was concerned, all the other androids in the castle chose to commit suicide.
The third method could not be realized on a large scale, and the artificial humans that had been damaged for thousands of years were not redeemed - but such a tragedy would never happen again.
Wren searched the castle but found nothing.
Before those artificial beings destroyed themselves, they destroyed the knowledge about the Third Law and the technology related to constructing the Great Holy Grail, leaving only an empty castle.
A little disappointed, but Illya achieved her goal without any problems.
At Kiritsugu's request, Ren re-arranged the barrier in this area to prevent anyone from breaking into this sleeping place where dreams and countless artificial humans are buried.
When the three returned to Fuyuki City, Irisviel and Kuu Maiya, who had gone to other cities to seek refuge, also returned to Fuyuki City.
The Kiritsugu family is finally reunited.
Soon, the Holy Church also reached an agreement with the Yusan Family.
Regarding Kotomine Kirei's matter, the church is prepared to deal with it in a low-key manner. They do not intend to let the Gosan family bring this scandal to the Magic Association and cause unnecessary trouble.
The church promised that it would completely transplant Tosaka Tokiomi's magic seal onto Tosaka Rin, and provide some protection to the Tosaka family until Rin grows up.
Although Aoi Tosaka wanted to kill Kirei, she also understood the situation of the Tosaka family and reluctantly agreed.
In any case, relying on the protection of the Holy Church, she was able to preserve the Tohsaka family business after her husband's death, and successfully trained her daughter to become an excellent magician.
As for Mapo, what awaits him is at least ten years in prison.
A few days later, Emiya's house.
That's right, it's that familiar simple courtyard house.
When Father Kiritsugu decided to wash his hands of business, withdraw from the world, and prepare to live a stable life in Fuyuki City, Ren recommended him to buy this house.
In the open space of the courtyard, a line is drawn in the middle, and three cute little girls are playing on the grass.
"Catch the ball!"
Rin Tosaka, who was still a little girl with twin tails, stretched out her hand and threw a pink ball towards the opposite side.
Ilya, who has beautiful silver hair, jumped up and kicked the ball back with great speed and a perfect angle.
Rin rushed forward in a hurry, but missed the ball. The ball slipped from her feet and she almost fell to the grass.
"4 to 2." Sakura stood nearby and remembered the score. She looked at Rin and said with concern, "Sister, be careful."
Ever since the purple-haired little girl was rescued by her father, her lifeless eyes had gained some sparkle, but then her father died and she was hit again.
In recent days, the white-haired elder brother helped her get rid of the bugs in her body, and with the company of uncle Kariya, mother, sister and Illya, the little girl gradually came out of the shadows.
"Rin, you are really brave and foolhardy."
After scoring another point, Illya, who was wearing a purple coat, stared at the panting Lin opposite with a smirk on her cute little face.
Tohsaka Rin wiped the sweat from his forehead, crossed his arms, turned his little face to one side, and said unconvinced:
"Huh, you just know how to play some little tricks. What are you doing? I am not as experienced as you."
"Huh, if you lose, you lose. Rin, you can't default on your debt!" Illya blinked his crimson eyes and made a face at her,
Then Ilya, a low-school student, ran aside, took out an exercise book from her schoolbag and handed it to her, smiling and saying:
"give it to you."
Xueba Lin took it gloomily, pouted and said, "No problem, I'll hand it in for you tomorrow."
Illya was also sent to school, and was in the same school as Rin.
In the living room of the house, three women, Irisviel, Kuu Maiya, and Tohsaka Aoi, gathered around a table and were talking about Sakura.
"Irisviel, I will ask you to take care of Sakura from now on."
Tohsaka Aoi's face was obviously a little haggard, but she looked much better than when she was hospitalized a few days ago and looked ashen.
The wife gently grabbed her hand and said in a sweet voice:
"Aoi, don't worry, I will take good care of her. Illya also happens to have a companion, and Kariya usually lives next door.
If you are worried, you can bring Rin to visit her at any time, you don’t have to worry about anything, it’s not very far from your home."
Aoi nodded, feeling very guilty for Sakura.
After her husband died, she never knew how to deal with Sakura's affairs. Given the current situation of the Tohsaka family, they could only take care of Rin at most, but they were unable to protect Sakura at all.
She is not too fond of Emiya Kiritsugu, but Sakura needs protection, and the magician killer is strong enough.
But what really made her make up her mind was Irisviel. Indeed, as Kariya said, Irisviel is a gentle and considerate woman who can definitely take good care of Sakura.
Yes, Sakura is now Kiritsugu and Irisviel's adopted daughter──Emiya Sakura.
