My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

Two figures walked side by side on the road, one with black hair and black eyes, the other with white hair and gold eyes. Behind them were a knight filled with black energy, and a girl holding a magic wand.

It was Kariya and Sakuzuki, and their respective followers.

Although they were traveling together at this time, they no longer had the harmonious atmosphere they had at the beginning. The reason was due to Yan Ye's sudden words just now:

"Sakusuki, can I leave Sakura and Rin to you?"

Hearing this, Shuo Yue did not show any emotion such as happiness. Instead, after a moment of silence, she quietly said, "Aren't you going to hand Rin over to Aoi?"

Yan Ye forced a laugh: "Sister Kui can't control this child, especially after what I did to her."

"I see. With Tohsaka Rin's character, she will definitely think that Sakura has been taught bad things by you and try every means to save her sister, right?"

"As expected, you also have eyeliner at home." After stopping, Kariya put her hands on her hips and sighed, "It's really watertight."

"Thank you, since you are both a soldier and a strategist, you always have to use more methods." Shuo Yue stopped.

"I'm going to join the Holy Grail War, Sakusuki."

"I seem to have said that the Holy Grail you are pursuing cannot fulfill your wishes."

"People always don't shed tears until they enter the coffin, Shuo Yue." There was no wavering on Kariya's face, "It's like a bottle with a label of 'regret medicine' on it. Even if you tell me it's poison, I thought I'd try one too."

"Even if you die just like that?"

"Are you stupid, Satsuki? I'm a magician, how could I be killed by a simple poison?" Kariya made a joke, then waved his hand and walked towards the other side with his followers.

The black knight followed Kariya like a ghost, following every step. After the effectiveness of the three command spells ended, Lancelot lost his mind again, but judging from his relieved smile before turning crazy, it was obvious that the flower of knights had obtained the redemption he wanted.

And Shuo Yue watched Yan Ye leave, finally turned around, turned his back to Yan Ye and stepped forward.

"Then let's go too, Miyu."

The street was empty, and there was no familiar answering sound from behind.

! ! !

"Miyu!" Shuo Yue turned around suddenly, only to find that there was no trace of his sister behind him. Only a piece of paper floated in front of Shuo Yue as if he had calculated the time correctly, and he reached out to grab it.

After scanning the contents of the note, Shuo Yue tore it into pieces, a rare gloominess appearing in his eyes.

"Don't let me find you..."

a secret base

"The test results are out." Kuu Maiya handed the report sheet to Kiritsugu who was sitting by the bed.

They were currently in a stronghold that Kiritsugu had prepared long ago. All the equipment inside was secretly transferred from the Einzbern Castle. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a dedicated workshop specialized in magic.

For Illya, the man-made android who is also the Little Holy Grail, ordinary technological methods will only be interfered by the rich magical factors in her body. Emiya Kiritsugu and Illya rushed here non-stop, just to make her a Thorough inspection.

After listening to Maiya's report, Emiya Kiritsugu took the report sheet smoothly, but did not check it immediately. Instead, he stared at Illya sleeping peacefully on the bed for a long time, then took a deep breath and suddenly opened the door. Report card.

The black-and-white report sheet also exuded the aroma of ink, soothing Kiritsugu's tense spirit. However, what was written on this report dragged Emiya Kiritsugu's spirit into the abyss.

Kuu Maiya worriedly watched Emiya Kiritsugu's expression change from calm to pale, then to despair, like a cheetah that had its claws removed, and finally let out a low roar of despair:

"Really, is this your purpose... Shuo Yue."

"Are you kidding, are you kidding, bastard!"

According to the report, Illyasviel’s body was fine except for the heart——

Her heart had been tampered with.

The crystal composed of alien magic power is hidden in Illya's heart in a tight structure. As long as the conditions are triggered, sharp thorns will pop out and pierce Illya's heart.

As for the alien magic power, the detection equipment also matched the corresponding source.

Caster·Meiyou.

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu completely understood the reason why the young man did not take Illya as a hostage, but instead returned her honestly and handed her over to them.

It was as if the young man was standing in front of him, leaning down and whispering:

Do you still want your daughter to live, or do you still want to pursue the Holy Grail?

For Emiya Kiritsugu, this was an extremely cruel multiple-choice question.

This means that he can only choose between dreams and family love, or lose both - there is no fourth option.

A deathly silence descended on the stronghold, and Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was burned by extremely anxious flames, causing him unbearable pain.

Maiya on the side would not speak. She obeyed Kiritsugu's choice unconditionally and followed everything he did.

Unless her brain has been tampered with in some way.

"What do you think is happiness, Kiritsugu?"

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was struggling in his heart, glanced at Maiya in surprise. Without thinking much, he just replied in a lonely tone:

"Happiness...heh, I am just a dreamer who hopes for world peace. This kind of thing 'happiness' is too precious and fragile. It is not something that my hands stained with blood can touch."

"But in my opinion, you already have happiness, Kiritsugu."

Like an indifferent bystander, Kuu Maiya commented on the man to whom she had entrusted her life:

"My Lady and Miss Illya love you dearly, and you love them dearly."

Kiritsugu covered his face with his hands, and his voice leaked from his fingers: "Yes, I love them deeply. I love them more than anyone else in the world... I am willing to sacrifice everything for them."

But he also understood what decision he, the man named Emiya Kiritsugu, might make if his justice required the sacrifice of this innocent life.

"Then why can't there be a 'mission' and a 'dream' among everything you offer?"

The woman in black asked.

Emiya Kiritsugu was shocked. After a long time, he raised his head and stared at his silver-haired daughter on the bed with dry eyes.

He still remembered the feeling of hugging her and rushing all the way to the stronghold. To this day, Illya's body is still petite and frail, just like when she was just born. The feeling of holding her up was like a handful of fresh snow in his hands, as if As long as it sways slightly and collapses, it's so delicate that it's scary...

Could he really be so cruel as to sacrifice her? Like sacrificing her mother?

…

…

…

He lost his answer.

Now that I think about it, since the winter eight years ago, there has been something wrong with the execution machine named "Emiya Kiritsugu", right?

Ridiculing himself like this, Emiya Kiritsugu looked away from Illya and reached for the cigarette case in his pocket.

"Secondhand smoke is not good for children, Kiritsugu, please go out and smoke."

"……OK."

Group, understand?

Speaking of which, I may be the only one who urges people to join book club groups...
