Depressive Screenwriter

#255 - Defense Break

At eight o'clock in the evening, a large group of people gathered in front of their televisions.

Yi Yuyao had even prepared a pile of snacks in advance, waiting for the broadcast to begin.

For a five-year-long die-hard fan of Su Yan like her, following Su Yan's new works had become a habit.

"Alright, let me see what kind of tricks you're up to tonight, old fox."

Her long-term experience with Su Yan's works had led Yi Yuyao to basically conclude that, going forward, 'FZ' would most likely develop into a dark-themed story.

At eight o'clock sharp, the TV screen paused, and she watched the theme song of 'FZ' for the eleventh time.

The plot began with the end of Kiritsugu Emiya's memories.

It started to explain the story's setting.

The Holy Grail's descent required a vessel, and each time the Holy Grail descended, it was always an artificial human from the Einzbern family who served as the vessel.

In other words...

Irisviel, Kiritsugu Emiya's wife, was destined from the very beginning of the Holy Grail War to serve as a vessel for the Holy Grail's descent and to sacrifice herself.

After this setting was revealed, Yi Yuyao's expression froze, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"Let's see, Kiritsugu Emiya killed his own father first, then his own mother, and now, in order to obtain the Holy Grail, he's going to sacrifice his wife. He also has a daughter. Is the plot going to have him personally kill his daughter, Illya, later on?"

Thinking of this, Yi Yuyao's expression became a little strange.

If it were the work of another screenwriter, Yi Yuyao might have thought that the plot was unlikely to develop in that direction, but since it was Su Yan's work...

"Something's not right! If you really think about it, who couldn't Kiritsugu Emiya betray to save more people? Maybe he'll even betray Saber in later episodes!"

Before her imminent death, Irisviel, lying in front of the magic circle, returned Saber, Artoria's, scabbard to Kiritsugu Emiya, and then said with a smile.

"I am, very happy! To have fallen in love with someone, to be loved by someone, to have spent nine years with my husband and daughter. You gave me everything, everything in the world that I never dared to hope for."

"I'm sorry, I wanted to let you see more of the outside world." Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes were calm, but his tone was heavy.

After watching Kiritsugu Emiya's childhood in the previous episode, Yi Yuyao was now filled with emotion at his attitude.

His heart must have been immersed in pain for too long, which was why he was indifferent to almost everything.

After the couple's final conversation, Kiritsugu Emiya left the magic circle in the room.

Saber went to deal with Alexander.

Kiritsugu Emiya went to deal with Tokiomi Tohsaka.

He would wait for Saber and Alexander to fight, and for Gilgamesh to act as the mantis stalking the cicada, before sneaking up on Tokiomi Tohsaka.

This was Kiritsugu Emiya's plan.

However...

"You didn't expect that Tokiomi Tohsaka would be finished off by his good disciple, Kirei Kotomine, did you?" Yi Yuyao's expression was wonderful.

From here, it could be seen that Kiritsugu Emiya was already prepared to sell out Artoria.

This battle plan was to use Artoria as bait.

The subsequent plot was filled with a large amount of slice-of-life scenes.

Alexander and Waver's determination.

As well as Kiritsugu Emiya's empty ambush.

Berserker and Kariya Matou's final preparations.

All the remaining Masters and Servants were preparing for the upcoming battle.

Yi Yuyao also sensed the impending storm.

Then the plot suddenly went berserk.

Alexander suddenly attacked Kiritsugu Emiya's residence, his assistant Maiya was defeated, and Irisviel was captured.

Artoria chased after Alexander on a motorcycle.

The entire process was filled with special effects.

Yi Yuyao's eyes widened, and her mood became unconsciously excited.

Of course, the subsequent plot was indeed as Yi Yuyao had thought, the person who captured Irisviel was another Servant disguised as Alexander.

Moreover, it turned out to be a scheme set up by Kariya Matou and Kirei Kotomine in collaboration.

Yi Yuyao picked up a bowl, forked a piece of fruit, put it in her mouth, and stared intently at the TV.

Then...

The classic scene of this episode arrived.

Kariya Matou, guided by Kirei Kotomine, arrived at the church, where he encountered Tokiomi Tohsaka's corpse sitting in the church.

And coincidentally, this scene was seen by Tokiomi Tohsaka's wife, Aoi Tohsaka.

Yi Yuyao's eyes were dazed.

This plot...

Old fox, you're too ruthless, aren't you?

Kariya Matou participated in the Holy Grail War in the hope of rescuing Sakura Tohsaka, and the purpose of rescuing Sakura Tohsaka was to make Aoi Tohsaka happy.

Now, he was framed by Kirei Kotomine into becoming the murderer who killed her husband, Tokiomi Tohsaka, in front of Sakura Tohsaka.

This...

It's killing someone's heart!

Yi Yuyao already felt her heart twitching.

Although she didn't particularly like Kariya Matou as a character, there was no need to make him so miserable!

"Are you satisfied? Kariya, in this way, the Holy Grail can be said to have fallen into the hands of the Matou family!"

Aoi Tohsaka's trembling voice made the sadness in Yi Yuyao's heart rise.

"Why? Isn't it enough to take Sakura away from me? Do you have to kill Tokiomi in front of me?"

"It's all him, if it weren't for this man, you would all be happy!"

At this time, explanation was meaningless, Kariya Matou also understood that he had to bear this black pot, and could only hope that Aoi Tohsaka could understand him.

Yi Yuyao was already a little afraid to continue watching.

What she couldn't accept the most was this kind of plot where a pure-hearted character was misunderstood and hated by the person they liked the most, and the two eventually turned against each other.

"A person like you... you, how could you understand? You've never even liked anyone, have you!"

Aoi Tohsaka's words broke Kariya Matou's defenses, and also broke Yi Yuyao's defenses.

He likes you!

Can't you see it?

Or have you seen it, but you don't care?

Why did you just see Tokiomi Tohsaka's corpse and default that Kariya Matou killed him without asking a single question?

If being with a corpse meant being a murderer, then wouldn't all the first witnesses at crime scenes have to be arrested and jailed?

In short, Aoi Tohsaka didn't have a trace of liking or trust for Kariya Matou.

When Yi Yuyao thought of this, she felt a trace of pity for the character of Kariya Matou.

Although simps don't end well, such a miserable character was really hard to hate.

"As long as it's for you, I'm willing to give my life! It's this thought that allows me to endure the torment of pain. To endure until now... I must have loved someone, I must have had such a person."

Kariya Matou broke down.

In order to participate in the Holy Grail War, his father implanted Crest Worms in him, and he had to endure the pain of hundreds of worms devouring his flesh every day, but in the end, he got a sentence...

You've never even liked anyone, have you.

He lost his mind, he denied everything in front of him.

Aoi Tohsaka's former smile appeared in front of him.

Then, when he came back to his senses.

"What do you think I'm doing this for, who am I doing this for?"

It was Aoi Tohsaka, who was on the verge of death from being strangled by him.

It was the sound of a neck bone breaking.

Kariya Matou, he went crazy.

On the second floor of the church, Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine, holding wine glasses, watched the show with smiles on their faces.

The joy duo today, gained some joy.

These two were the kind of people who could gain extraordinary emotions when playing with other people's feelings.

And Yi Yuyao and a large group of fans in Xia, who were looking forward to tonight's plot, were completely broken.
