I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Justeza wants to understand people's hearts.

Justeza wanted to understand people's emotions.

So she chose to lurk next to Irisviel, the only person who understood human hearts as a homunculus, and secretly observed everything about her, hoping to understand what she lacked in this way.

Justeza just looked at Irisviel silently.

In the castle, in the old house.

Fighting, living.

Look at her wholehearted love for Kiritsugu.

Seeing the tacit cooperation between her and Saber, and the trust placed behind each other.

Watching the friendship she and Maiya develop around the same man.

This incredible woman changed everyone around her.

She warmed Emiya Kiritsugu's cold heart; she added a touch of brightness to Saber's life, making her world no longer just war; she moved Maiya with her purity and sincerity, making Maiya truly Treat her as a comrade, not just someone whom Kiritsugu ordered to protect.

She—— also changed invisibly the Justeza who was watching her secretly.

She used her every move to tell Justeza bit by bit that artificial humans can be just like humans, they can cry, laugh, be sad, be happy, and give everything for someone.

It is not out of a creed or mission that is engraved into the soul before birth, nor is it a disguised appearance that imitates humans, nor is it a "function problem" as Justeza thought before, but something deeper. , something that has nothing to do with function, self-discipline, and rationality.

Emotions, impulses, obsessions, desires.

These words created by humans and used to describe humans themselves, Yustisa knew but did not understand, and already possessed but was willing to admit it. Irisviel presented them to Yusi as they were, without any cover-up. Tissa.

It turns out that this is human beings.

It turns out that all I lack is the acceptance of the reality that I have become a human being.

By admitting this, I have become a human being and can live as a human being like Irisviel.

Justina suddenly wanted to laugh a little. The answer was so simple, and Shenji and Scathach had already given her the answer, but it actually took her such a long time to figure it out.

After thinking about it, Justeza decided to repay Irisviel.

When she made this decision, she did not discuss it with anyone, nor was she influenced by external factors. She just simply wanted to do this and made the decision entirely by herself.

"Shenji, I want to repay Irisviel."

This was the first sentence when the contact was connected. Shenji was slightly startled and quickly realized - this was the first time Yusitisa took the initiative to make a request, a request that had nothing to do with the plan.

"Did you find the answer?"

Sensing the undisguised surprise and joy in Shenji's words, Justeza's lips overflowed with a shallow smile.

"Yes, actually I already got the answer. I just didn't want to admit it, so I'm sorry it took so long."

"No need to apologize, just find the answer. I really have to thank Miss Irisviel."

At this time, Shinji and Justeza were equally grateful to Irisviel.

"How are you going to repay that?"

"I want her to live and live as a human being."

"Stay alive?" Shenji was a little confused, "But isn't she the Little Holy Grail? Sooner or later, she will. Are you planning to end the Holy Grail War?"

"No, the Little Holy Grail is only Irisviel's body, not her soul. What I want to save is 'Irisviel', not the Little Holy Grail."

It may be difficult for others to understand Justice's words, but Shinji can, because the person he is talking to is the most vivid example.

"Do you want to transform Irisviel into a being similar to you?"

"Yes, but I can't do it now because it requires a huge amount of magic power. The reason why I can complete the transformation of my existence is by borrowing the magic power stored in the Holy Grail. After making a contract with you, I lost this magic power. .”

Whether it is a Servant or Justessa who is descended from a heroic spirit, the container is made by the Holy Grail system, and the Master is only responsible for providing the magic power required for the operation and maintenance of the container. Just like a car, the Holy Grail builds the car, the Master refuels and maintains the car, and the Heroic Spirit is simply responsible for driving. The technical content and consumption are not at the same level.

"Where do you plan to get this huge magic power?" Shenji asked bluntly.

"It's still the Holy Grail system."

"But isn't the Holy Grail contaminated? The colorless magic has been dyed with the color of revenge."

"The Holy Grail is contaminated. The source of the Holy Grail's magic power is missing."

"Spiritual pulse?" Shen Er somewhat understood.

"Yes, assuming that the entire Holy Grail system is the Weiyuan River, the Holy Grail occupied by the Avengers is only the middle section. The magic power extracted from the earth veins flows to the Avengers and is contaminated, and becomes contaminated magic power that flows to the outside world. But the water at the source is actually clean.”

"I get it, you have to do what a water company does, take water directly from the source upstream and pipe it to the people who need it."

"That's right. When the Holy Grail War began, the entire Fuyuki City's spiritual veins were in an activated state, especially the nodes of several spiritual veins. At this time, it didn't take much magic engineering to extract enough magic power from it. Shinji, where is the best spiritual node in Fuyuki City?"

"Liudong Temple! It is also the most suitable place for the Holy Grail to descend! Master and I are here now."

This time it was Justice's turn to be surprised.

"Why are you there?"

"To prepare for the arrival of the Holy Grail, something happened that was beyond my expectation. I plan to make the mistake and make a big fuss."

Shen Er chuckled, revealing an inexplicable ferocity.

"Actually, if you don't contact me, I will contact you in a while - in order to bring the 'Little Holy Grail' under control. Justina, let me confirm again, do you still want to get the Holy Grail?"

"Of course I do." Justeza answered without any hesitation, "It's just that I don't want Irisviel to get hurt."

"I know, I will try my best to keep Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuu Maiya alive, but I can't guarantee 100% that nothing that happens during the battle will be surprising." This is Shinji's bottom line.

"Well, your safety comes first, and the Holy Grail comes second." This is also Justeza's bottom line.

"Thank you, Justeza, for putting me first."

"You're welcome, you're my family."

When the atmosphere was just right, a cough suddenly came to mind.

"."

"."

"Master craftsman"

"I'm just reminding you not to forget about business." Scathach said in an innocent tone.

Then Justeza appeared in front of Irisviel.
