[FateZero] Air and water droplets

.

"Do you want to find a way to ask where the engraving is—"

It's a bit brain-burning.

I suddenly felt a little irritable.

15

Things are not as complicated as I thought.

As soon as I asked, the magician told me.

He and I talked a lot, and the conclusion is that my mother was the previous head of the house, then she divorced my father, married a priest of the church and gave birth to a younger brother for me, and then she GG.

I.......

what can I say?

I can only put on a dumb face.jpg

After staying for a long time, I finally choked out a sentence: "Where is the engraving?"

The magician cast a glance at me: "Go to Fuyuki's church to find your stepfather and ask for your mother's body."

I:"......"

There was a burst of wit in my heart.

16

I don't think it's good to retrieve the corpse, so I politely say that the engraving is ignored.

The magician didn't say anything, he didn't give me a lesson like before.

Maybe it's because I said that I don't intend to become a real magician. When I asked his name, he didn't seem to intend to tell me, but just said blankly:

"Why are you asking this? If I teach you everything, then you have nothing to do with the Association of Magicians. You can live a stable life and wait until you get married."

"But I think you are already my teacher, what does it have to do with the Association of Magicians?" I asked.

He was silent for a while, and finally threw the book in my face.

"Read your book, and call me teacher when you're done." He snorted coldly, "I don't have such a low-motivated student like you."

Hmm, so arrogant.

I pulled the book off my face and smiled silly at him.

17

Time just went by.

Study - call Natalia - deal with various magicians - call Natalia - learn in a cycle like this.

Before I knew it, eight years had passed.

I still didn't take the initiative to contact Kiritsugu, and the teacher still didn't tell me his name.

It's just that during this period of time, the name Emiya Kiritsugu has thoroughly resounded in the circle - but it is a notoriety.

"Magician Killer".

I checked Kiritsugu's related events many times, but I still feel that he hasn't changed.

Because Natalia has always told me so.

He also sent me a candid photo of Kiritsugu.

The boy comforted the little girl covered in blood in the ruins, and the look on his face was as bewildered and gentle as when he faced my confession when he was eight years old.

He has always been like that.

I thought this kind of life would last until two years later.

Yet accidents happened.

Natalia did not contact me at all for the first half of these eight years.

I called the number she left and it turned into [the number you dialed is an empty number].

18

This kind of thing is unusual.

It is impossible for ordinary tasks to last for half a year. Even if there is, Natalia will find time to contact me.It's impossible to say that I don't want to contact her anymore. I have persisted for eight years. I only got this effect by stalking her. How could it be possible that I suddenly don't want to contact her.

I immediately went to investigate, hired others if I had no ability, and used the previous relationship of Bai Chuan's family if I couldn't be hired, and then I finally found out——

Natalia is dead.

It was buzzing in my head.

19

Natalia has never changed in my impression.

Handsome, powerful big sister.

...how could he die.

The investigators told me that it was Kiritsugu.

"...is there anyone else on the plane?" I asked.

"There are dead disciples."

"..."

I don't know how to describe my mood at the moment.

For me, Natalia, whom I have been in touch with for eight years, is unquestionably a friend.For Kiritsugu, it should only be more important.

I remember a long, long time ago, I really wanted to think like this——

"What should I do if I choose to kill a bounty prisoner?"

......what to do.

Why am I crowing again.

I immediately felt very helpless, and even the teacher who came to see me didn't say anything to comfort or ridicule me.

I have locked myself in this small circle for too long. I don't want to enter the world of magicians, but I can't go back to ordinary people. The only people I can really talk to in the past eight years are Natalia and the teacher.

"Is Kiritsugu okay?" I asked softly.

"..."

The teacher didn't say a word, just rubbed my hair like the first time we met.

20

I used the same method to find Kiritsugu's contact information, but looking at the string of numbers, I couldn't press the green button to dial the number no matter what.

The time I spend staring at the phone in a daze continues to increase every day, and there is no record of a call between [Emiya Kiritsugu] and myself in the address book.

"There's still a year and a half—"

Calling now would not be able to comfort Kiritsugu at all.

And I have endured it for eight and a half years, why can't I persist in the last year and a half.

At the beginning, the subtle liking fermented over time, and the taste changed again and again, and finally became full of five flavors, and it was impossible to give up.

so......

"Just like this." I murmured, "In a year and a half..."

After a year and a half, tell Kiritsugu all of his likes.

"How do you know that he hasn't changed at all after all these years." The teacher asked me this way, "He is called a magician killer... and in the past six months, his reputation has become much worse than before."

"No way." I groaned twice and retorted, "You haven't seen how cute little Kiritsugu is."

"...he is David Palace now."

"..."

Teacher, how do you speak?

Why does it sound so dirty?

21

The term David Palace certainly does not refer to Kiritsugu's big chirp.

Of course I understand the meaning of the teacher, people will always change, and time will change many things.He wanted to tell me that perhaps Kiritsugu had become a dangerous person, no less than Emiya Tokiken back then.

The teacher is really worried about my safety, if I become a magician killed by the magician killer, it will be terrible.

But I still feel that Kiritsugu is the same as before.

To say why-

I stroked the pictures that Natalia had sent in the past and laughed.

22

For the next year, I closely followed Kiritsugu's whereabouts.Without a guardian, he became more active, but he appeared on the battlefield more often, and his reputation as a magician killer became more and more resounding.

They always say he's doing those missions for the bounty.

Fool.

It would be silly to think so.

Those bounties for hunting and killing magicians are enough for ordinary people to spend three lifetimes. Kiritsugu is not someone who will squander wealth vigorously, so how could he be short of money.

But appearing on the edge of the battlefield is worth considering.

Finally, I found a general conclusion in the number of survivors.

...Kiritsugu who tortured himself by making such a choice is also a fool.

It's all about trains.

It should be the same with Natalia.

If I did nothing, I wouldn't have this kind of pain.

Thinking about it this way, I think that I who fell in love with a fool is undoubtedly a fool.

23

Finally, when it was November [-]th, I tossed and turned on the bed and was so excited.

Kiritsugu.

You can get married!

I took out my phone and typed a lot of words.

[Kiritsugu!Happy birthday!I'm Shirakawa Haiyin, do you still remember!I......]

Ah, it's embarrassing to write like this.

I scratched my head in distress, silently pressed the delete key, entered again, deleted again, and finally thought carefully, and only uttered a very short sentence——

[Hi, are you eighteen now. ]

24

I was so happy that I couldn't sleep, and the bed creaked.

In the end, I was beaten up by the teacher who temporarily lived in the room next to me for instructing me.

"It's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, let's not talk about whether he's asleep or not. He can't reply to you just because he has an unfamiliar number." Angrily, the teacher picked up the pillow and slammed it on my head.

"What, teacher, you are so fierce, you will definitely not find a girlfriend in the future!" I immediately picked up another pillow to fight back.

"I'm sorry, I've been married a long time ago." The teacher chuckled, "If you don't sleep, I will burn all the photos of Emiya Kiritsugu you put in the study!"

Alas!

Insidious villain!

25

I fell asleep obediently.

However, when I woke up the next morning, I still didn't receive Kiritsugu's reply.

...Maybe the teacher is right, Kiritsugu would not reply to this kind of text message, and he has no identity background, just one sentence and it is inexplicable.

Ahhh!What a shame!

I feel like I'm about to cry, I'd better find a way to find Kiritsugu directly, the problem is that the world is so big that I can't find it.

The teacher really couldn't stand my negative IQ, and kindly gave me a suggestion.

"Isn't he a bounty hunter?" He said angrily, "You find a guy with a bad reputation to issue a reward for him to take this business, and then ask to meet him, it's over!"

I was stunned.

It took a long time before I was so happy that I threw myself on the teacher.

"Great idea! Sir, you are a genius!"

Although I was praising him, I felt that the teacher who was thrown on the ground with his back turned to me probably wanted to beat me up again.

26

The matter of hiring went smoothly, and under the pretext of negotiating, Kiritsugu did indeed come to my house.

When I saw him from upstairs, he was looking at the furnishings of my house from an angle where I couldn't see his face.He has grown a lot taller than me, and his bangs have changed slightly since he was eight years old, but his cat-ear hairstyle remains the same, probably because his hair is too fried.

He was carrying a black suitcase, and he knew it was his without thinking.
