I, Who Saved Xingyue, Became the Master of Xingyue

It's really a shame.From several times ago, Kiritsugu counted the winter buds of Zekju as the winter buds of walnuts.This is not so much cheating as it is a sophistry foul.

"But otherwise, Dad has no hope of winning at all."

"That's not acceptable! The walnuts that only Kiritsugu knows don't count!"

Illya, who had nowhere to vent her anger, began to beat her father's knee.

"Hahaha, but Illya, you have learned another lesson, right? But the fruit of Zeju is different from walnut, and it cannot be eaten. You must remember this well."

Facing her father, who couldn't see the introspective attitude at all, Ilya grinned and muttered as if to scare him.

"If you keep playing around like this, Illya will never play with Kiritsugu again!"

"This is nerve-wracking sorry sorry, I apologize."

Kiritsugu, who was given an ultimatum, apologized honestly and sincerely.Now Illya's mood finally began to improve.

"Promise you won't cheat anymore?"

"I promise I promise. It's not a Zebutan anymore."

But next time there will be wild walnut hand Kiritsugu chuckling in his heart.

Ilya, who didn't know that her father didn't know how to repent and have other plans, and didn't know how to doubt others, nodded in satisfaction, puffing out her chest.

"Very well. Then. Start the game again. The champion accepts the challenge at any time."

"Yes, it is a great honor, Missy."

As evidence of obedience.Today's game of finding winter buds, Kiritsugu turned into a horse.

"Ahaha. So tall, so tall!"

Illya loves to ride on her father's shoulders.Even if it is the snow that her feet cannot step on.Kiritsugu's long legs can also easily pass over.Moreover, the field of vision has also become higher, which is more beneficial for finding winter buds.

"Okay, let's go!"

Kiritsugu let his daughter ride on his neck.Started trotting in the woods.Illya screamed because of the shock.The added weight on the shoulders made my father's heart ache.

I had no experience in raising children before Illya.Of course, it is impossible for Kiritsugu to have experience in matters such as the child's growth level.However, I can also understand that the weight of my eight-year-old daughter is not yet fifteen kilograms.No matter how you think about it, it is abnormal.

Probably because of the random adjustments I received at the stage of birth.The beloved daughter of Kiritsugu and Irisviel, her growth was obviously delayed.Even if you continue to age like this, you don't know if your body can reach the adult standard.

No, in fact, it is impossible to reach the standard of an adult at all. With Kiritsugu's knowledge of magic, it has long been seen that Illya's growth will stop at the early stage of the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

Chapter 11 Artoria and Irisviel

Arturia's emerald eyes watched the playful figures of father and daughter at the entrance of the forest from the window of the castle.

Xiao Hei sat beside Irisviel, not interested in this kind of game at all.

Eliasviel looked at each other quite enviously. Before coming to Chaldea, she spent very little time with her father. Most of the time was when her mother returned home, and Kiritsugu was still there. Travel around.

Of course, Ilyasviel also knew the purpose of Kiritsugu leaving home, it was to clean up the aftermath of that Holy Grail War.

"What are you looking at? Saber."

Alice Viel shouted from behind.Artoria, the girl by the window, turned around.

"Your daughter and Kiritsugu are playing in the forest outside."

She seemed surprised, seemed confused, although there was a slight frown on her stiff expression, but it didn't damage Arturia's beauty at all.Compared with a charming smile, she is more suitable for dignified and clear serious eyes, she is a beauty with rare qualities.

Irisviel stood beside her and looked out of the window, Kiritsugu who let Illya ride on his shoulder happened to be running deep into the forest.

"That side of Kiritsugu surprises you, doesn't it?"

Looking at the smiling Irisviel, Artoria nodded honestly.

From her position, she just couldn't see the girl's face, only slightly saw the silver hair inherited from her mother, but the high-pitched laughter that she heard when she disappeared from her field of vision was indeed filled with joy.From this alone, the harmonious relationship between the playful father and daughter can be fully perceived.

"To be honest, I have a colder impression of my Master."

Irisviel was very confused by Artoria's words, and smiled wryly.

"Yeah, there's no way around that."

Even Xiao Hei couldn't help but wryly smiled, there's no way, Emiya Kiritsugu is such a person.

Since being called.As a Master, Kiritsugu never once spoke to Artoria.

Thoroughly treat Servants as existences that are just servants or props of the Master.

Indeed, as a magician, it may be a matter of course.No conversation, no questioning, no eye contact.Kiritsugu has been rejecting the Heroic Spirit he summoned.

To Kiritsugu's attitude like no one else.Although Artoria didn't express it directly, she must be very dissatisfied in her heart.For her, Kiritsugu's usual attitude towards herself, and the figure of a man playing with his beloved daughter outside the city.It is natural to feel a huge gap.

"That's Kiritsugu's true face. Then I seem to have offended the Master."

Alice Viel looked at Arturia's bitter expression.Seeing the original intention that could not be seen from the usually straight face, he couldn't help laughing.Seeing her like that, Artoria became even more dissatisfied.

"Irisviel, there's nothing funny about it."

"Sorry. I was wondering if you still minded when you were summoned."

"One thing. I'm used to the fact that my posture is different from everyone's imagination. But it's not necessary for the two of us to be surprised at the same time." Artoria couldn't help but complained.

However, although it seemed incomprehensible, Ilyasviel and Xiao Hei understood Irisviel's feelings very well.

In fact, when Tianyang saw Arturia for the first time, he was surprised and had nothing to say, but fortunately, Tianyang's EQ is not low, and he quickly calmed down this little bit of dissatisfaction. What a good relationship now.

"It is true that I was pretending to be a man, and it was my intention not to pass on the lie to future generations, but it is really unpleasant to doubt that I am the owner of the scabbard."

"Even if you say that, you can't help it. Your legend is too famous, and it has been passed down for 500 years. The gap with the King Arthur we know is too big in our impression."

Facing Irisviel with a wry smile on her face.Arturia sighed tiredly and unconvinced.

"It's useless to say anything about my appearance. When I pulled out the sword of contract from the rock, I was given the magic of immortality, and my appearance stopped. Besides, the subjects at that time did not have any doubts about my appearance. .What I pursue is to fulfill my responsibilities as a king."

What kind of harsh youth is that?

Invaded by pagans, the British Kingdom is in danger of extinction.Following the prophecy of the magician, he took on the heavy responsibility of the savior. In ten years, he maintained constant victories in twelve battles, and became the young king who became the incarnation of the dragon.

Contrary to that glorious feat.The final fate of the king was that he was deprived of the throne because of the treason of his blood relatives. He was not even allowed to end his career in a glorious moment, which was full of tragedy.That fierce and painful fate is carried by such a young girl.Such a truth made Irisviel feel heavy.

"For Kiritsugu, because of my true identity as a woman, do you look down on me? Do you think I'm not worthy of holding a sword?"

While Irisviel was feeling emotional, Arturia whispered in a dry voice while looking beyond the forest where Kiritsugu and the others entered.

"That's not the case, even he can see through your strength. He is not so pedantic that he will look down on the hero who has won the Seat of Sword. He will be angry, there should be other reasons."

"Is he angry?" Artoria couldn't help being puzzled, she and Emiya Kiritsugu hadn't said a word until now, they just got angry when they saw her, what kind of anger is he!

"Did I make Kiritsugu angry? This is incomprehensible. He obviously hasn't spoken to him even once." Arturia couldn't help asking.

"So, it's not about being angry at you personally. What makes him angry must be the legend of King Arthur that we have passed down for a long time. If the heroic spirit Kiritsugu summoned was the same adult male King Arthur as described in the inheritance, he would not Rejecting the Servant to this extent. It should be just the minimum necessary negotiation without emotion and indifference. Carrying out actions that can be ended in this way into an attitude of ignoring, in other words, a huge emotional reaction. Kiritsugu After knowing the truth that the girl who pulled out the sword of contract from the rock in the past was actually a girl in the cardamom age, I felt anger that I couldn't hide in my heart against all the legends about King Arthur. That person is probably against your Be angry with the people around you in this era. To those cruel people who put the responsibility of being named king on a petite girl."

"There's no way around that. Ever since I pulled out the sword in the stone. I've come to my senses."

It didn't seem to show any surrender, and Artoria's expression remained calm and clear.Irisviel slightly shook her head in confusion at her like that.

"It's because you just accepted your fate like that, which makes people even more angry. Only because of this, maybe he is angry with a girl named Arturia."

Maybe it was impossible to refute, Artoria lowered her head and remained silent for a moment.But soon he raised his head and looked at her eyes, but became more stubborn.

"It was just superfluous sentimentality. He had no reason to speak to people of my era, including me."

"That's why that person has been silent."

Irisviel repelled the attack very simply, and this time it was Arturia's turn to purse her lips.

Emiya Kiritsugu and the hero named Artoria.In any case, it is incompatible, so just give up.Even if they talk to each other, they are just negating each other.

On this point, Irisviel also had the same opinion.The more he got along with Artoria like this, the more he felt the spiritual gap between this lonely heroic spirit and Kiritsugu.

Irisviel understood what both sides said, and there were parts that could empathize with each other.Because of this, Irisviel came to the pessimistic conclusion that it was absolutely impossible for these two people to understand each other.

"I am very grateful to you, Irisviel. Without a woman like you, I would probably have lost this Holy Grail War without a fight."

"That's each other. I also hope that my husband will become the Master who finally gets the Holy Grail."

This time, Emiya Kiritsugu did not choose to act with Arturia, but rather acted with Kuro, because Kuro's methods were more effective in his own hands, but Illya disagreed no matter what .

Fortunately, Xiao Hei persuaded Illya this time. Even if she does not intend to act together with Emiya Kiritsugu, it is an alliance relationship anyway. So under Xiao Hei's persuasion, the three parties exchanged their masters and slaves, and Yi Li Ya and Ilyasviel's team, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuro's team, Irisviel's team and Artoria's team.

Xiao Hei and Eliasviel had no objection to this, but as for Artoria, she accepted it easily. In fact, after being summoned for several days, Arturia and Irisvier not only Mutual understanding has been deepened, and mutual respect has also arisen.Irisviel, who breathed nobility like air as a matter of course from birth.It was like the princess Artoria knew well in her own time.For the well-educated Irisviel, Arturia's etiquette makes people feel at ease, and it suits her very well.

And, in fact, Artoria also felt uneasy about the actual issue of coordination with Master Kiritsugu.She realized that if she wanted to fight better, Irisviel would obviously be more suitable as the master.Then, different from the contract as a Servant, the oath of master and servant was performed to her with the etiquette of a knight, and preparations for the Holy Grail War are currently underway.

Looking at Arturia who was talking to Irisviel, Xiao Hei and Ilyasviel seemed to understand why Tianyang Mingming was dissatisfied with Arturia's wish to reside in the Holy Grail, but still said nothing, just Start with the Knights of the Round Table.

Because as Arturia said, Tianyang is not qualified to say anything to anyone in that era, the only thing Tianyang can do is to start from the other side and let the Knights of the Round Table talk to Artoria, I believe that compared to As an outsider, the Knights of the Round Table are more qualified to persuade Artoria.

Chapter 12 The Sun and Gilgamesh

It is inappropriate for a magician and a Servant to say that at three o'clock in the morning, everything is silent.

In the darkness of the night, those heroic spirits hiding in the shadows are constantly carrying out reconnaissance and assassination activities that cannot be taken lightly.

Especially for the magicians in Fuyuki City, there are two main areas of concern.Those are the two luxurious and grand western mansions, the Matō family and the Tohsaka family, standing on the hills in the city.

The residence of the Master who is aiming at the Holy Grail is located there, and recently, low-level familiars have been wandering around the area day and night for the purpose of reconnaissance.but.The owner of the museum has long been prepared for this level of reconnaissance, and has set up a dozen or [-] layers of barriers around the mansion for the purpose of reconnaissance and defense.From the point of view of magic, there is no difference between the two mansion and the fortress.

Without the consent of the master, even a human with magical powers would not even want to step into the barrier.Not to mention those Servants who look like huge crystals of magic power.Therefore, whether it is an entity or a spiritual body, they want to sneak into this fortress-like barrier without being noticed.It can't be done anyway.

However, there is an exception that can make this impossible possible. Assassin's ability to cut off breath is an exception to this.Although he does not have a strong fighting ability, Assassin can suppress his magic power to almost zero and act, making himself close to the target like an invisible shadow.

Furthermore, for Servant Assassin who is Kotomine Kirei, tonight's infiltration mission is really too simple.Because what he is sneaking into now is not the house of the deadly rival Matou family.Instead, until yesterday, it was the residence of his Master Kirei's ally Usaka Tokiomi.

Of course Assassin knew that Kirei and Tokiomi secretly formed an ally behind the other Master's backs.And in order to protect the secret agreement between the Masters, Assassin has served as a guard in Tohsaka's mansion many times.So he has already investigated the configuration and density of the enchantment here, and of course he is well aware of the blind spots.

Assassin skillfully avoids the intricate enchantment while in the spirit state.On the other side, secretly laughing at Tosaka Tokiomi's ridiculous fate.That arrogant magician seemed to have a lot of trust in Kirei as his subordinate, but he never imagined that the puppy he had raised for so many years would bite his hand in turn.

It was less than an hour ago that Kirei ordered Assassin to kill Tokiomi.Although it wasn't certain what caused Kirei to have murderous intent, it was probably because Tokiomi summoned Sevrant a few days ago.I heard that the Servant who made a contract with Tokiomi seems to be a Servant. Archer, but through observation, this Heroic Spirit is even more fragile than Kirei imagined.From this point of view, there would be no benefit in continuing to cooperate with Tokiomi. Perhaps it is because of this that he will issue such an order tonight.

"There is no need to be too cautious. Even if you want to confront Archer head-on, there is nothing to worry about. You must kill Tohsaka Tokiomi quickly."

This is the instruction of Master Kotomine Kirei.Even Assassin, who had the lowest combat ability, didn't have to be afraid of the Archer's heroic spirit summoned by Tokiomi when confronting him. Kirei must have been very disappointed.

Just thinking about it. Assassin has come to the final barrier, there is no blind spot of any enchantment here.If you want to pass here, you must destroy the barrier by physical means to eliminate it before you can move forward.This is a job that cannot be done in the invisible astral state.

After hiding in the shadows of plants, Assassin began to transform from spirit to entity, and a slender body with a skeleton mask began to appear.At this time, he arrived at a place different from the other barriers in Tohsaka, and many sights were shot from far away.These are probably the familiars of the other Masters who are monitoring the mansion outside the barrier.But as long as Tokiomi doesn't find out, these peeping guys can ignore it.As competitors who also aim at the Holy Grail, they have no reason to inform Tosaka Tokiomi that Assassin has infiltrated the news.

For this kind of carnage between competitors, everyone will adopt a bystander attitude and watch from the sidelines.
