The Endless Shuttle

"……No."

Aoqi Chengzi shook her head wearily, now she has to go back to her workshop to tidy up her chaotic brain.

"...Thank you for your tolerance for my words. If you have any problems with your little toy, just call me directly. Now, I'm sorry to say goodbye."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Luo Pei snapped his fingers, and the rain in the sky outside the window stopped.

"Please don't put too much psychological pressure on me. Mei Lian and I are friends. I believe you will also establish a good relationship of trust with Miss Chengzi, especially after you have helped me."

Aoqi Chengzi shrugged without answering. After changing into her high-heeled shoes at the door, she walked out.

PS:

I didn't see any violations in yesterday's update, why should I go through a one-day trial... I'm really speechless.

Chapter 66: Irisviel's Request

Back in the bedroom, Irisviel who was lying down was sitting half against the head of the bed, her red eyes were much clearer than before.

This proves that the fusion of soul and body is progressing very well.

Luo Pei handed a glass of warm water to the silver-haired girl, and Irisviel took it subconsciously.

"It seems that the "memory" has been integrated, do you remember who I am? "

As he asked, he sat down casually on the edge of the bed.

Irisviel took a symbolic sip, looked at Luo Pei with doubts in her weak eyes, and asked softly.

"Are you... Mr. Rope?"

"Of course it's me. Do you think anyone but me would be bothered with the life and death of a man who is no longer useful?"

"You have changed too much..."

Irisviel said in a low voice, her pale fingers tightly grasping the rim of the water glass.

It's only natural that she didn't recognize her. The appearance of the current Lopez is too different from the appearance in the Fifth Holy Grail War. Handsome to perfect cheeks, blue pupils, if he hadn't dyed his hair from blond to black in this world, Irisviel would have had a harder time recognizing Rope.

"The memories I have are only preserved until the end of the battle between Saber and Archer. Although it may be to the extent that I just fell asleep, in fact... a long time has passed, right?"

"It's been a few years." Luo Pei nodded.

"After you fell asleep, I pulled out your soul and personality. The Fourth Holy Grail War also ended with my victory after killing Rider, and everything came to an end. This is still the island country in the far east, called Guan The place in Buzi City, my current temporary residence."

"Is that so...you have completed the Holy Grail..."

Irisviel lowered her eyelids.

It was the wish machine that her former husband dreamed of, a chance to save everything. But the goddess of fate did not favor Kiritsugu as she wished, and the young man in front of him personally deprived him of the qualifications and life leading to victory in the war.

But even so, she could not utter words of hatred, nor gratitude.

It's not just a matter of strength. After Irisviel reopened her eyes, the boundaries between enemies and benefactors intertwined. She, a cyborg who grew up in an old castle, didn't know how to react at all.

As if everything was wrong.

Luo Pei didn't care about Irisviel's complicated mood, and shook his head at the silver-haired woman's words.

"My only requirement is victory. When the Holy Grail descends, I give the order to have Saber's destroyed."

"...!?" Irisviel opened her small mouth in surprise.

——The Holy Grail that achieves everything and reaches the root has been destroyed?

"Why did you do such a thing? Since you have obtained the Holy Grail, even if you don't use it, you won't destroy it..."

Perhaps it was Einzbern's sad wish engraved in his blood since the "Saint of Winter" Lizi Laixi, and Irisviel couldn't help becoming anxious.

"Do I keep that black mud cup in the bath?"

Luo Pei curled his lips unobtrusively.

"However, although the Holy Grail was destroyed, there is no problem with Fuyuki City's system. After these years of accumulation, the fifth Holy Grail War is just around the corner, and I will be a participant again without accident. And your daughter, too Pick up the responsibilities you and Emiya Kiritsugu once had, and participate in the Holy Grail War on behalf of Einzbern."

Einzbern's cycle of bereavement, this generation has continued to Illya.

It was said that the silver-haired woman was struck by lightning.

Is my fate going to reappear on Illya...

"Illya..."

Irisviel muttered to herself, her red pupils filled with pain.

He suffered the pain of losing his husband before he fell into a coma, recovered after suffering, and heard that his daughter would also suffer the same fate as he once did——

Irisviel hadn't passed out yet, and it could already indirectly reflect her psychological endurance.

"No, only Illya can't!"

Irisviel shook her head resolutely, ignoring the stiffness of her body, and grabbed Luo Pei's right arm with both hands, so big that she knocked over the water glass without even realizing it.

Water stains, spread on the floor.

"Please, Mr. Luo Pei, let me see Ilya. Please, please save my daughter!"

She begged the enemy who killed her husband.

Because Irisviel knew that her "deceased" person could do nothing now, so she could only watch in despair as Illya went back to the old path of Einzbern's artificial man.

——It can’t be like this, absolutely can’t be like this!

Her daughter is all she has now, for Illya, Irisviel is willing to give up her dignity.

"No, it's okay not to see you." Irisviel said again pitifully.

"Mr. Rope can do whatever he wants with me, for the sake of helping you in the Holy Grail War, as long as Illya is fine..."

"Calm down, ma'am. Your body is still recovering."

Luo Pei patted Irisviel's white hands and said gently.

Realizing her faux pas, the silver-haired woman slowly loosened Rope's clothes with disappointment.

"...Sorry to trouble you."
