I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Emiya Kiritsugu's intention was obvious.

He - came to kill people.

For the sake of my wife and daughter not to be hurt again.

Ever since he put aside the unrealistic and lofty ideal of being a "just partner" and recognized the reality, there was only one thing left to support Kiritsugu, his family.

For the sake of his family, he will do anything, even more unscrupulously than when he was a partner of justice.

After settling in the Matou family's mountain villa, the whole family enjoyed a hearty breakfast for the first time in a long time. Considering that there was a certain big eater in the world, Shinji arranged for someone to go there by truck overnight. Ingredients were delivered to the villa—Kiritsugu did not stop in the gentle village and drove back to the city.

Although Shinji promised to solve everything and let him spend time with his family at home, calm their emotions, and keep an eye on two vampires and prevent them from running around, Kiritsugu really had no choice but to stay at home like this.

It's not that I don't trust Shenji, I just don't want to do nothing when my family is being fatally threatened.

By the way, it also means hiding away. His wife Irisviel and daughter Illya are already lively people, and now they are joined by Natalia and Xia Lei, who are equally restless. Although they get along more happily and there is no Shura scene that they like to see, they are all Si still felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to find a place to relax.

To this, Irisviel, Illya and Xia Lei expressed their objections - something like this happened yesterday, so it's better not to go out today.

However, Natalia expressed her support. This is the resolute and efficient kid she is familiar with. If it weren't for the fact that daytime was not suitable for Dead Apostle activities and Shen Er had promised not to leave the villa, she would have wanted to go along and do something.

All I can say is that a mother is a mother after all, and her attitude towards her son is different from other women.

Under Natalia's persuasion, "Just let him go. Even if he stays here, his heart is not there. Don't let him make a big fuss." Kiritsugu began to take action.

He is worthy of the famous "Magic Killer", a hunter who has been famous for more than 20 years. Although their abilities have been surpassed by many new generations, their way of thinking and experience are far beyond what young people can match.

Shinji asked his sister to check the land and real estate transaction records, and asked Medea to analyze the command spells, which was time-consuming and laborious. Kiritsugu did one thing - go home and keep an eye on them.

He has lived in the Einzbern family for nearly ten years and is very familiar with the family's style of doing things, especially Ahad's methods. He knew that Yahad would not let the traitor go, and would definitely send people back to check. As long as he waited, he would be able to find clues.

For this reason, he didn't even tell his sister, Fujimura Taiga, who was always close to him (unilaterally), and just watched the girl who had broken away from the girl and became a glorious people's teacher sitting in front of his home.

Finally, hard work paid off, and Kiritsugu finally found the person he was waiting for. Sera and Ligelit, who were sent by Ahad to inquire about information, naturally found Taihe, were discovered by Kiritsugu, followed them all, found the new base of Einzbern as a matter of course, and were found as a matter of course. ——

Well, okay, we can't take it for granted at this point. When his daughter was unwilling to give up her identity as a master and knew that the servant Yahad had summoned was the great hero Hercules, it was impossible for Kiritsugu to act recklessly.

What he really wants to do is to explore along the periphery of the barrier and investigate everything that can be investigated in order to formulate a practical and effective battle plan. This almost cold rationality is the reason why Kiritsugu has been able to defeat the weak and the strong many times. .

At this time, Kiritsugu did not know that Shinji had also found the Einzbern stronghold, and planned to make a quick decision to solve the Einzbern problem once and for all.

Almost halfway through the investigation, Kiritsugu felt the barrier shake. It was obvious that someone was using the most primitive method to violently break the barrier. This discovery invigorated Kiritsugu, and he knew that an opportunity had come, an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Now that the barrier is under attack, the early warning and protection capabilities of the stronghold will undoubtedly be reduced to a minimum. At this time, it is very suitable to conduct in-depth investigations or take the opportunity to snipe the master. These are what the "Magician Killer" is best at. of.

With the decision made, Kiritsugu carefully sneaked inside. His route was to guard against the relatively weak back mountain, and he took every step carefully. Having been active in war zones all year round, he knows very well the principles of "being careful" and "not being greedy for credit". It's good to gain something, but it doesn't matter if you don't. You can still look for opportunities in the future. His life no longer belongs to him alone. He also has a wife, children, an adoptive mother, and a foster sister, and he needs to be responsible for them.

Just like this, we advanced towards the camp step by step, testing. No matter whether the barrier was destroyed, the villa was shattered, or even the sun exploded in the sky, it did not make him change his policy. Instead, he became more and more conservative. Without a Servant who is also a monster to protect him, he will lose his life if he is not careful.

After approaching a certain distance, Kiritsugu found a safe observation point to hide, and stopped moving forward, instead using a telescope to observe the situation around the villa.

Various previous phenomena showed that the invaders were very powerful, so powerful that even though they occupied a good location, the enemy demolished the workshop. In this serious situation, as long as Yahad's brain is not broken, he will definitely make the decision to retreat. The enemy invades from the front of the mountain, and the best retreat route is naturally behind the mountain where he is. I just need to wait patiently here and wait for the rabbit.

Of course, there are other possibilities. For example, the invaders were too strong and the Einzbern army was completely wiped out, or Ahad suddenly exploded and launched a desperate counterattack. But firstly, the possibility of this is not high, and secondly, if this situation does occur, I can see some clues - the villa is no longer usable, no matter which party wins, they must leave - it is completely unnecessary Too hasty.

This judgment is undoubtedly correct. Within a few minutes, someone ran out of the villa. The pure white gold-plated dress unique to the family owner told Kiritsugu that that was the person he was looking for, Yubusta Kuhayd von Einzbern.

However, he did not rush to draw his gun and kill because he had not yet determined whether there were other guards around Yahad.

Moreover, Kiritsugu was also hesitating. After all, it was this old man who made him meet Irisviel. Is it really okay to just end his life like that?

Just hesitating, following, and monitoring.

It was confirmed that the old man was really as embarrassed as he appeared. He was alone and injured without any protection around him.

I also heard the old man's monologue as if he was losing control.

At this moment, Kiritsugu made a decision.

He walked out of the forest where he was hiding and faced the old man he had been with for ten years.

His determination to kill has not changed, but at least he should speak clearly before taking action so that he can die clearly.

After saying thank you and sorry, Kiritsugu pulled out the pistol from his coat.

PS: Tiger: Give yourself a song called "The Love of the Year". (Seriously, this song is really nice, especially Ai Yi’s version)

PS2: Kiritsugu does not feel guilty about Einzbern’s so-called betrayal. It was Ahad’s own death and had nothing to do with Kiritsugu.

Some book friends mentioned the issue of the scabbard. It is true that the five magics cannot interfere, but that's just it. The biggest flaw of the scabbard is that it can only defend or block, and has a single function. Can you travel freely and interfere with parallel worlds like the Second Magic? Can it be like the fifth magic that can cause human incineration and jump the quantum fixed belt? Can it grant immortality to all mankind like the third magic? This thing of force is not just based on attack or defense, but must be looked at together.
