Chapter 1778 The softness in Emiya Kiritsugu’s heart
"Enzo Mountain, Liudong Temple."
"Tohsaka House."
"Fuyuki Church."
"And the new residential area on the east side of the city, at the Civic Hall."
"These are the four places in Fuyuki City where the earth veins are concentrated."
There were four encircled circles on the map. Emiya Kiritsugu tapped the four locations twice with his index finger knuckle, and looked up at the three people in the room.
"So, with enough spiritual power, the places where the Holy Grail can finally descend are these four places."
"What Kiritsugu means is that when the Holy Grail War reaches a later stage and the number of Servants who have withdrawn increases, we must at least control one of these four locations as a stronghold?"
"Yes, but...some locations are not so suitable as a stronghold. I believe you also understand this."
Tohsaka Residence, even if Tokiomi Tosaka is killed, is not suitable as a stronghold. It is a place occupied by the Tosaka family for generations. If you enter rashly, you may encounter many dangers.
There is also the Fuyuki Church. As an absolutely neutral area, in principle it cannot exist as a stronghold for anyone, even the biological son of the supervisor of this Holy Grail War, the master of Assassin Samura Ano, Kotomine Kirei.
, you have to buy a separate house outside the church to use as a stronghold, and cannot enter the church.
"Other than that, do you have any questions?"
Kuu Maiya didn't move, just stood there with eyes closed like Anno.
She was involved in sorting out information with Emiya Kiritsugu, so now she knows everything Emiya Kiritsugu said.
"What if I don't have Saber anymore?"
Irisviel glanced at Anno.
"The explanation is very detailed and there are no doubts so far."
Anno opened his eyes and bowed slightly to Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Well, let's start discussing the next point now, which is the matter of Berserker."
"Unfortunately, we don't have the upper hand in this matter. We can only use the familiar created by Maiya to investigate. However, this may also be an opportunity for us."
Annuo raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu, but Emiya Kiritsugu did not react to Annuo's eyes and just continued talking to himself.
"you mean"
Irisviel guessed something.
"Well, our target is not Berserker, but the people who are targeting Berserker."
"What about regulators?"
Annuo frowned instinctively.
".Regulators cannot be trusted."
After a moment of silence, Emiya Kiritsugu chose to answer Anno's question.
"Although the familiars sent out to monitor the church for the first time have been eliminated, we have not given up monitoring the church. During this period, Maiya and I discovered Kotomine Kirei entering and exiting the Fuyuki Church several times.
The fact that his son became a participant in the Holy Grail War, but he still became the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, is very suspicious, let alone."
"I suspect there is collusion between him and the Tosaka family."
After listening to Emiya Kiritsugu's words, Anno was silent for two seconds, then nodded and closed his eyes again.
He seemed to have something left to say.
But Emiya Kiritsugu is obviously not someone who cares about these things.
"Then let's disband today."
"Maiya, move quickly and find Berserker's whereabouts as soon as possible."
"Ellie, I leave it to you to control the castle's boundary, as well as the magic crystal ball for monitoring."
"Yes, I'll leave immediately."
"I see."
The two women's voices overlapped.
"Kiritsugu.?"
Irisviel wanted to go back to her room and follow Kiritsugu's request to make a crystal ball dress for surveillance, but when she walked into the corridor of the castle, she saw the man standing alone on the observation deck of the castle.
, no smoking, just standing there alone, raising his head, looking at the moon in the sky.
"Ellie."
Hearing his lover's movements, Emiya Kiritsugu did not turn around, but just called softly.
"If we run away now, will you come with me?"
With a trembling voice, he asked Irisviel such a sentence.
Irisviel stared blankly at Emiya Kiritsugu from behind, looking at the miserable man who pressed his head with one arm and tried his best to hide himself.
"What about Ilia? What should Ilia do?"
"Let's go back and take Ilya away. If anyone dares to stop us, we will kill them all."
Emiya Kiritsugu raised his head, his voice was excited and painful.
"From now on, I will only live for you and Ilia, I -"
"You can't do it."
Snapped.
Emiya Kiritsugu felt like he was being hugged from behind.
It's Irisviel.
"You can't escape."
"You will not let go of yourself who ran away with his tail between his legs and failed to save all mankind."
There were tears in the corners of Irisviel's eyes.
"You will be your own judge and kill yourself."
Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes in pain.
He knew that what Irisviel said was right.
He will not forgive himself like that, he will definitely kill himself like that.
".I'm scared."
Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head again.
"Assassin and Kotomine Kirei are greater threats than Gilgamesh, but it's just that opponents like this came to me."
"If Assassin hadn't just warned him temporarily, Maiya might have been killed, and I wouldn't be able to continue living."
"All my actions have been seen through by them."
"You were sacrificed in this battle, and I left Illya in the castle, but now the most dangerous enemy has become my obstacle."
"I'm afraid. This fight will be meaningless in the end."
Irisviel's body trembled slightly, and she hugged her tighter.
"Kiritsugu, you are not fighting alone."
She said sadly.
"I will protect you. Saber will protect you. And Miss Maiya will also protect you."
Listening to Irisviel's words, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but close his eyes.
Irisviel found out about her.
I found out about him and Kuu Maiya.
But she didn't say anything, she had no objection, and she was even happy that more people were protecting him.
Emiya Kiritsugu covered his mouth to prevent himself from making embarrassing sounds.
After a long time, he finally forced himself to calm down.
"Ai Li, you should go back first. If you are tired, you can wait until tomorrow to make the costume."
A man like him still has a little bit of softness and warmth in his heart.
"Don't worry, I will do it before going to bed."
After kissing her lover, Irisviel left, leaving Emiya Kiritsugu alone, continuing to stand under the cold moonlight.
No, more than one person.
"Saber, what do you want to say?"
Emiya Kiritsugu recognized the person without turning around.
