"Kiritsugu, what should we do?"

After returning, Irisviel immediately found Emiya Kiritsugu and told him exactly what she heard from Fangzheng. After listening to Irisviel's description, Emiya Kiritsugu

Si Ye was silent for a long time and did not make a sound. He just stared at the table silently, as motionless as a sculpture. However, Irisviel did not speak, just waiting for her husband's decision.

After a while, Emiya Kiritsugu finally spoke.

"There is no evidence that what she said is true."

"But Kiritsugu..."

"We can't just back down, Ellie."

Kiritsugu interrupted Eri's words.

"Indeed, what she said makes sense, but there is no evidence to prove this. We can't be sure that this is true. Even if it is true, it does not mean that the Holy Grail has really lost its wish.

machine capabilities.”

"But...if that's the case, why is she still saying this?"

"Perhaps she hopes that we can choose to end the Holy Grail War in advance. After all, with her ability..."

Having said this, Emiya Kiritsugu thought for a while, and then looked at Saber.

"Saber, if you release your Noble Phantasm, can you defeat Er?"

"Hard to say………"

Facing Emiya Kiritsugu's question, Saber shook her head.

"I haven't tested it directly, so I can't judge for the time being."

"Well... In this case, we at least need to join forces with Rider. The enemy is indeed powerful, but we are not completely unable to win. Regardless of whether what the other party says is true or false, we can only wait for the Holy Grail to be summoned.

It takes a moment to get the answer."

"…………"

After looking at Kiritsugu and then at Saber, Irisviel couldn't say anything else. She understood the mood of the two of them very well. In any case, Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber came for the Holy Grail, but now, without

Without any evidence, it is absolutely impossible for them to withdraw from the Holy Grail War so easily.

Especially Kiritsugu, he has paid so much for all this...

But for Irisviel, she longs for the future described by Illya, a future in which she, her husband, and children can live a stable and peaceful life happily. This is what Irisviel hopes for.

of.

But now it looks like she won't be able to convince Kiritsugu to give up.

Thinking of this, Irisviel sighed deeply.

The night is already dark.

Kotomine Chire looked at Tokiomi Tokiomi who was lying on the hospital bed without saying a word. At this moment, Tokiomi Tokiomi was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes blank, as if he had aged twenty years all of a sudden.

.It’s no wonder that for this Holy Grail War, Tokiomi Tohsaka spent so much effort and even summoned the most powerful heroic spirit. Just a few days ago, he was convinced that he would win this Holy Grail War.

.

But now...it's all over.

It was only the first day of the Holy Grail War. Archer, who had high hopes for Tosaka Tokiomi, left the field immediately and was hacked to death by ER, and he couldn't die anymore. Tokiomi Tosaka couldn't accept this blow at all, let alone

Said that his body was also seriously injured in the previous battle.

Although Fang Zheng's 40-meter-long sword did not directly hit Tosaka Tokiomi, he hit his head on the corner of his desk at that time, causing massive intracranial bleeding. Whether he could survive or not was still a question.

An unknown number. Now Tosaka Tokiomi can only lie in the ICU and rely on a ventilator to maintain his life.

But even so, I don't know how long he can persist.

So...what should we do next?

Looking at his teacher, Kotomine Kirei fell into silence. The original plan was for him to assist Tokiomi Tokiomi in winning the victory, but now Tokiomi Tokiomi has been forced to withdraw from the Holy Grail War and may even die. Here

Under such circumstances, what could he do? He had no desire to realize it, and because of this, Kotomine Qili felt that he didn't know what to do.

Do you want to continue?

Use assassin to win this Holy Grail War?

Or should I give up the Command Seals? Return to my original life? To be honest, I have never thought about these issues, but now it seems that I have to think about it.

Thinking about these questions, Kotomine Qili left the hospital and walked towards the church.

"Click, click..."

The sound of lonely footsteps echoed in the silent streets. Under the dim street lights, only Kotomine Chirei's figure was seen. But just as he was about to walk up the ramp to the church, Kotomine Chirei suddenly stopped.

Raise your head and look forward.

"You're finally back. I've waited long enough."

On the slope not far in front of him, he saw a girl with a red ponytail that looked like burning flames holding a bottle of Coke, chewing on it while glaring at him with dissatisfaction.

"But okay, now that you are finally back, it's time to end this boring wait."

As the red ponytail spoke, he flicked his hand back, and the finished Coke bottle fell into the trash can next to him with a clang.

"What does it mean?"

Staring warily at the red ponytail in front of him, Kotomine Qirei spoke while the red ponytail spread his hands.

"It's very simple. I want to kill Assassin, but there are too many clones of Assassin. It's like playing whack-a-mole, which is time-consuming and annoying, so I plan to use a convenient way to solve the problem. You see, you are not ER

? As long as I kill you, then Assassin will be finished, and I won’t have to go to all the streets to find him, right?"

"—!!"

Hearing this, Kotomine Qili also immediately clenched his fists and put them in front of him. Although he didn't know how the other party knew that he was an ER, what is certain is that the other party was definitely prepared this time.

Carelessness! He knew very well how powerful this red pony-tailed girl was. If he had been careless in the slightest, he would probably die on the spot immediately!

"With your order..."

"Shua...!"

Kotomine Qirei had just spoken, and before he even had time to use the command spell, the world in front of him suddenly split into two.

A line of blood emerged from Kotomine Chirei's forehead, and then gradually spread from top to bottom. Then Kotomine Chirei's body was separated from the middle, and then fell to the ground without making a sound.

I don't know when the red ponytail who appeared behind Kotomine Qili raised the Frostmourne in his hand. Soon, a white soul breath was sucked out from the corpse, letting out a miserable scream, and then being sucked into the demon body.

There was no trace of the sword.

"Okay, let's call it a day."

Looking at the corpse in front of him, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers. Soon, a fire suddenly appeared and quickly devoured Kotomine Qili's corpse. Fang Zheng yawned, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

In the shadows.

I left quietly, just as I came quietly. I waved my hand and did not take away a single cloud.

No one knew that Er had died like this. Just like his followers, he disappeared silently into the darkness without any movement.

No one cares either.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Fang Zheng met Rider's group again on the Fuyuki Bridge.

However, this time in addition to rider, there is also er.

"So, you have decided to join forces?"

Looking at the three cavalry servants in front of him, Fang Zheng was not surprised at all. When he heard her question, the three servants also looked at each other and nodded.

"Yes, I have vowed to dedicate the Holy Grail to my Lord."

Lancer was the first to speak, and Saber nodded.

"We will not believe everything you say based on your words. Whether it is true or false can only be decided after the war."

"You said you would give me a more interesting battlefield, little lady."

Rider laughed loudly and patted his chest hard.

"I, the Conqueror King, am tired of waiting!"

"All right."

Looking at the three people in front of him, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. Fang Zheng didn't care about their choices. As she said, no matter whether the other party understood it or not, these servants could not commit suicide obediently.

The only way to go down is to meet Zhenzhang under his command.

"Now that you have decided, there is nothing more to say."

As he spoke, Fangzheng stretched out his hand, took out Frostmourne from behind, and then inserted it hard into the ground.

"Feng Jue!"

Accompanied by Fang Zheng's roar, the ice wind howled, and the biting cold wind rushed towards them, shrouding everyone.

When they opened their eyes again, the scene in front of them shocked the three servants.
