Thank you everyone, I'm with Solomon [Comprehensive]

"...Within nine months, the restoration of human nature will be completed ahead of schedule. Except for one person who defected, there are no casualties in Chaldea. In the end, the reason for the sudden disappearance of the singularity has not been calculated—"

"unknown."

An incident report to the Clock Tower, that's it.

"Unknown... This answer is definitely not satisfactory to those people, and I will send someone over to investigate. Then, the matter of Secia—"

"Hold on!"

"Boss, you..."

"There is a living person here. Do you think those guys who want to get into the 'root' will let him go? No, even if you use the rotten reason of Solomon's reformation at a critical moment, you have to fool him. Even this If we can’t even keep the secrets, why should we protect human rights?!”

"..."

"what happened?"

"But, Director. Although it's cruel to say this, and I don't want to accept it myself, but... Secia, really, is no longer here."

"........."

Clang.

The sound of a chair being pushed back suddenly.

"...That's right, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, but——it suddenly disappeared without leaving any news, who is going to accept it!"

Although she still looks like a little girl, Olga Marie, who stands here as the director, is not weaker than anyone else.

"Okay, the people who came to investigate are coming soon, I have to deal with them, and then drive all of them back to the UK, let's start preparing now."

And, anyway.

"That guy has already disappeared for the sake of this world. Let's talk about it when that man is willing to accept it."

……

The man who hadn't asked for a leave of absence in ten years finally asked for two leave of absence for the first time after the most important work ended early.

One is a short vacation of only one day, and the second is a long vacation.

The decision to take a long vacation was made after going to the nearest city alone to watch a movie.

That night, there were only a few people in the huge screening hall of the movie theater, and almost all of them were couples who came to watch romantic movies in pairs.

The man sat alone in the last row, but he bought a ticket for a couple seat.

As soon as he sat down, he attracted a few curious eyes.Not to mention how strange the audience felt when he was seen crying with his face buried in his palm after the movie was over and all the lights were turned on.

Oh, it's weird, yes, but it's more sympathetic.

"Don't be so sad, brother, even if you are dumped by your girlfriend, you should settle down and continue living. Maybe the next time you meet is true love."

"Ah, ah, not a girlfriend... Haha, I'm sorry I couldn't control it, thank you, I'm fine..."

"What do you mean it's okay? I shouldn't be meddling in my business, but with your appearance, you really can't pretend that you didn't see it—huh? What did you say?"

Because the voice was too vague, the man's emotions were absorbed unexpectedly quickly, and the well-meaning audience didn't hear clearly what he was whispering in his mouth.

In short, after thanking the kind people for their care, the man left alone as if nothing had happened.

Just like when he came.

——Because what I met this time was true love.No, love.

——It was only after realizing that the place next to me was really empty, that it was so painful.

So, after a short vacation, the man returns to his place of work and solemnly applies to his immediate superior. He needs to go a little further and ask for a long vacation.

"What about the specific time, how long do you plan to rest?"

"I don't know. If you're unlucky, maybe...there's no upper limit."

"Temporary leave equivalent to resignation?"

"……Feel sorry."

Originally thought that even if he was not rejected, he would be scolded by the irritable director.

As a result, the other party only glanced at him, then coldly withdrew his gaze.

"Okay, you go."

"Wait, why don't you just let me go?!"

"Otherwise, do you still want everyone to cry to see you off? Don't talk nonsense, do whatever you want, no matter how long you want to skip shifts, as long as you come back, you must bring your family back to return to work! I heard that Well, after working so hard for so many years, now everything is settled and no one can stop you, Dr...Romani Akiman!"

"……understood."

The man said in a bitter but inexplicably resolute voice: "I will."

Even if you don't know, where to look for it.

Even if you don't know, can you find it?

He will not give up.

In the past, a certain person always said that he was deceived by him, but now he is the one who is really deceived by him.

Be deceived by feelings, be deceived by body, and finally be abandoned for no reason...

No.

No matter what, you can't let him go.

If there is no way to find him with human power alone, then there is only that way.

Although it is to give up some things, such as the body obtained from the Holy Grail.

--It doesn't matter.

——The most important thing that a human being possesses, he has already got it now.

*****

"Remember the old name?"

In the pale ward of the hospital, the tired man asked again.

His voice was deep, and it really revealed the tiredness of not closing his eyes for days and nights.There was sadness in the black eyes, as if this person was actually dead.

However, when he raised his eyes and looked at the child he was questioning, there was still a gleam of hope in his dead pupils.

"..."

The child sitting on the hospital bed didn't answer for a long time, and his expression was numb.

"...It's okay, it's okay if you can't remember."

The man named Emiya Kiritsugu didn't show any impatience.

He looked at this red-haired and red-eyed child, and his almost desperate heart got such a precious sliver of salvation.

A sudden fire in Fuyuki City took away countless lives, only two children survived and became the only survivors.

One of them is the one in front of him. After examination, the doctor told him that the child was not injured, but he didn't respond to any questions. Maybe the brain nerves were affected...

It's ok.

Just be alive.

There was only one thought in Emiya Kiritsugu's mind.

He knelt down by the hospital bed, just enough to meet his eyes with the child's silent eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay... I will adopt you and another child. From now on, I will take care of you..."

"……name."

Emiya Kiritsugu was startled.

The child in front of him actually spoke.

That is to say, from the moment when he suddenly opened his mouth, the dull red eyes seemed to become clear all of a sudden, and the dull expression also changed slightly.

"After thinking about it for a long time, for a long time, I still only remember—"

"...Romani."

It turned out that after staying for so long and refusing to speak, it was because he fell into memory.

Emiya Kiritsugu hurriedly asked: "Romani? Is this your name?"

The child was silent for a moment, and frowned slightly: "It seems not."

"My name is not Romani, but I just remember this..."

After his consciousness cleared up, he was no longer the dazed look he was before, and he was even much more energetic than a man.

"If I understand correctly, do you want to take care of me and the child in the next bed?"

"Yes, if you wish."

"I don't know you guys, but I don't know why..."

The child got out of bed and went to the next bed.

The one who was still sleeping on this bed was also a red-haired child, but he was only five or six years old, much younger than him who looked at least ten years old.

"it is good."

He stroked the unconscious child's hair, turned his head, and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu who seemed a little surprised.

"In the future, let me take care of you."

No kidding.

His expression - very serious.

……

"...Brother, did you really say that back then? I don't know how to complain, anyway, I suddenly want to know what kind of expression my father will have when he hears these words..."

"Hey, isn't it I who took care of you father and son so hard! Wait, Wei! Gong! Shi! Lang! You ungrateful brat, don't run away!"

"I'm going to school. I'm going to school. It's too bad to describe it as running away——Okay, I'm going out! By the way, today's breakfast is delicious."

It was so lively early in the morning.

Although it is rare, such a scene, for the members of the Emiya family, is a daily routine that has been used to for several years.

Briefly introduce the situation of the Emiya family.

As the only elder and head of the family, Emiya Kiritsugu passed away due to illness a few years ago.

He does not seem to have any biological children, and the two remaining sons are adopted sons.

Eldest son Emiya Saisia—don’t complain about why the name is so strange, this is Saisia ​​who was adopted and forgot what his name was. He searched through dictionaries and various books, and found the one that he felt most familiar with. His name - 21 years old this year, the current pillar of the Emiya family.

The youngest son Emiya Shiro, 17 years old, is in high school.

At present, although Kiritsugu's father left a lot of legacy, Secia thought that he could not sit still and eat nothing. After skipping a grade and finishing college, he opened a small local clinic in Fuyuki City.

There is no need to question why he can skip a grade to go to university, and he can open his own clinic seemingly easily-Seccia sometimes feels that he is born to be blessed by God or something.

The knowledge taught in school can be remembered at a glance.For the medical department studied in university, both the theory and practical operation seem to be known in advance, and there is no need to waste energy at all.

And, most appallingly.

As long as it is anyone who has been in contact with him - no one hates him.

It's not that I don't hate him, but I really like him from the bottom of my heart.

Secia's small clinic is not far from home, so every morning, he can cook breakfast for his younger brother who needs to go to school, and prepare lunch before going out.

When Shirou was young, he was raised by Secia who took good care of him. Even when Kiritsugu was seriously ill, Secia asked for leave to take care of him at home.

He is proficient in all housework, and the cooking skills seem to be self-taught.With such an all-round elder brother at home, even Shirou has become a promising young man who can do all the housework.

However, now that Shirou is in high school, Secia also has to work, and most of the things at home are taken over by his sensible younger brother, which is the source of the joke in the morning.

There is no doubt that Dr. Emiya, who is very popular, is quite popular even in the workplace.

He goes to work at eight o'clock every morning, because there are so many patients coming to the door that the small clinic is overwhelmed. Except for him, the clinic has only two nurses who help, and he has to be busy every day until ninety o'clock in the evening before going home.

"Hey, this is the world of adults - after all, there is still an adolescent brother to raise, so how can we not work harder?"

"How many times have I said that I can go to work by myself, and I don't need you to work so hard... Forget it, I have said it so many times, but you can't listen to it."

The workaholic Dr. Emiya really couldn't listen.

Unsurprisingly, today is also a full day of working overtime until ten o'clock in the evening.

After seeing off the last patient, Secia sat in the empty consulting room and exhaled slowly.

Tired is not very tired, after all, I am used to it.However, he inexplicably felt a little bored, and his head was a little dizzy.

"Wash your face first...and then go home."

He thought, standing up.

There was a step at the door of the bathroom. Secia had seen it at first, but when he got there, for some reason, when he stepped on it, he slipped all of a sudden.

"Oh!"

With a cry of surprise, it was dangerous, and he quickly grabbed the doorknob without letting himself fall to the ground.

"What's the matter, my head hurts again, obviously I don't have a cold..." Secia couldn't help but wondered in his heart, wondering if it was because he was too tired from staying up all night——

By accident, his eyes glanced at the right hand that was pressing on the doorknob.

To be precise, the back of the right hand.

He didn't pay much attention at first, but glanced over.But it was half a beat behind, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly turned his gaze back.

Secia (surprised): "What is this?"

On the back of his right hand, there was suddenly a group of traces that could not be seen.

The red one is not accidentally stained with blood or medicinal liquid, this one is more like...

"Huh? I can't wipe it off."

He vigorously wiped the mass of red marks with his fingers, not only did not wipe it off, but when he touched it, the dyed skin suddenly tingled.

It's like being burned by fire.

Or, it symbolizes a declaration.

Inexplicably, it made his heart tremble.
