Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Emiya Kiritsugu did not chase after the other party, but hurried to Irisviel's side... The wound on her abdomen was huge, and her consciousness was already blurred at this time, but as long as Saber came, she should be fine...

While thinking about Saber, the next moment the opponent appeared out of thin air nearby.

"What's going on here Kiritsugu... Airi!"

As soon as Saber arrived, she saw the tragic scene. There was a large amount of blood on the ground. The person who accompanied her to visit Fuyuki City fell miserably in a pool of blood...

"With this amount of bleeding, how could it be..."

Emiya Kiritsugu ignored Saber's shock and instead carefully observed Airy's abdomen. When he saw the wounds recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to face the still unaware Saber, half of his face was covered by the shadow of his hair, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Airi and Maiya were attacked by the Master of another Servant. I'm not sure if the other Servant is around, but if you follow my plan... Airi will be fine."

“…But I clearly got your permission!”

"In that case, even if I don't let you go, do you think you will obey orders with peace of mind?"

"…That's because the lives of those children are threatened, and as a knight I must save them!"

"So...where are the people you saved?"

"..."

"… and the other party's target is me… He is a man I can't understand at all, and even makes me feel scared…"

"Caster will naturally be dealt with by other Heroic Spirits. I will take the opportunity to deal with the other party's Master, and your mission is to protect Irisviel..."

"... Then congratulations, the righteous knight king... It was your boring sense of justice... that killed Airi."

"..."

Saber lowered her head and knelt helplessly beside Irisviel, digging her armored fingers into the dirt... She no longer had the energy to refute...

Airi's death made the previous battle seem like a joke... Could it be that Kiritsugu was right?

Am...am I wrong?

“…cough cough cough…Kiritsugu…”

"!"

Saber saw that Ai Li suddenly woke up again, and her originally lonely expression was stunned for a moment.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was standing next to him, knew that he couldn't continue acting anymore, so he walked over and helped Airi up without changing his expression. At this time, Saber also saw that Airi's abdomen, which was originally bleeding heavily, had become smooth and there was no sign of serious injury at all...

“…Kiritsugu…and Saber…Oh yeah, Maiya is also seriously injured!”

After saying that, he quickly crawled over to where Maiya was gasping for breath against a tree trunk, and performed healing magic on her. Even a fool would know that something was wrong with her lively appearance.

“…Hey…Kiritsugu!”

Emiya Kiritsugu turned his head awkwardly and just stared at Irisviel treating Maiya. This made Maiya feel embarrassed, but her neck was injured, so she couldn't even turn her head...

"Sure enough, you already knew it!"

The furious Saber stood up instantly and pointed the sword in her hand at her Master with great disrespect, the ahoge on her head jumping with anger.

"I didn't expect that the Knight King in history would also kill his master. It seems that your chivalry is not so firm..."

"Shut up! You bastard have no right to talk about chivalry!"

"You must give me a reasonable explanation today!"

"…After all, this is the only time you are willing to listen to me, and what I said just now was not wrong."

“Saber, don’t!”

Irisviel, who was standing by, was also startled when she saw Saber raising her sword, and had no choice but to intervene in this war without gunpowder...

In the end, Saber could only put away her treasure and turned her face away, looking very angry.

Looking at the two little kids on her left and right, Irisviel showed a helpless expression.

She had just survived, so why did she have to take care of these two guys? And there was a wounded person over there waiting for her treatment!

"I'm going to go treat Maiya's injuries now, so you two should stop arguing, okay?"

Kiritsugu put his hands in his trouser pockets coolly, looked up at the sky, and said nonchalantly:

"I would never argue with a little girl..."

"Who are you calling a little girl?"

"stop!"

"Now Kiritsugu, you stand here and don't move. And Saber, you follow me!"

As he said this, he took Saber’s hand and walked to Maiya’s side, performing healing magic while making sure the two of them didn’t fight...

She was really worried about this family...

Seeing this, Kiritsugu simply found a tree to lean against, and the quarrel was over... But he finally spoke to Saber:

"…This Holy Grail War is not easy. I am also worried about Kotomine Kirei. It will be difficult for us to win alone… So next time, we should act according to the plan…"

"…But I will take your boring chivalry into consideration this time."

Upon hearing this, Irisviel and Hisau Maiya looked at Kiritsugu in disbelief. That cold-blooded man actually gave in?

"What do you mean by boring chivalry! You idiot..."

"Then tell me about your situation. Where's Caster? Is he dead?"

Kiritsugu directly interrupted Saber's complaints and talked about business, and the other party had to put aside personal grudges temporarily.

"No... Berserker and Lancer also came at that time, but we were stopped by the huge number of summons from the other side. In the end, we worked together to destroy the magic book that provided magic power... But later, Caster took advantage of the blood mist to escape..."

"So... that Berserker has been with you all along?"

"Yes... and the other party will use a kind of black flame, which can be activated just by looking at it, and it seems that it will not go out at all."

This was a very normal battle. Since they were temporary allies, they would more or less hold back. Otherwise, it would be too unbearable for three Heroic Spirits to besiege one Caster and let him escape...

Saber is injured and can't use her Noble Phantasm, and Lancer's Noble Phantasm is not suitable for this kind of battle... As for that Berserker...

The strength he displayed at the time was undoubtedly comparable to that of the golden heroic spirit, but the opponent's behavior was extremely strange, and his abilities were extremely complex: fire-breathing, clones, hidden weapons, and the ability to go berserk... plus, it seemed that he had teamed up with Lancer.

"Another troublesome guy."

……

On the other side, Kenneth, who had fainted, had a dream...

He dreamed of Lancer having an affair with his lord's wife and dying tragically.

Because the sense of substitution was too strong, he was awakened instantly at the moment of death. When he opened his eyes, he saw himself tied to a place like an operating table, and his fiancée Sora stood next to him...
