[FateZero] Air and water droplets

"

Kiritsugu obviously didn't agree with my words, and frowned when he heard the cuteness.

I pretended to want to get closer to the source of warmth, and rubbed against his arms.

This time he was completely still.

33

Without the hotel, we had to find another base.I specifically called the teacher to ask if there was anything available nearby.

"Don't call, in case you are located—"

"No." I refuted Kiritsugu's worries, "I have specially dealt with it to prevent positioning, don't worry."

He seemed to be taken aback, as if he didn't expect a magician to do this.

I think that's right, just like the magicians I've seen over the years don't have many electrical appliances in their homes, he should also think that many magicians are the same as them.

But after getting along like this for a whole day, he still doesn't have any impression of the name Bai Chuan Haiyin from the past.

Maybe I have really changed in the past ten years...

So it would be nice if I could recognize him.

No matter what he becomes, he is my favorite Emiya Kiritsugu.

If you can't remember, find a way to create new memories.

It doesn't matter even if he left the impression of a stalking and delicate magician.

Originally, I wanted to stalk him.

"You came back later than expected yesterday, did something happen?"

After a night's rest, when I ask him now, he won't put on such an indifferent look.

Yesterday's explosion was so loud that he couldn't have been completely unaware of it.But if you realize it, you should come back to save me.

Hearing my question, he was silent for a while, watching that I didn't answer.

"Just tell the truth." I said angrily, "I won't deduct your wages."

"...It's not a matter of money." He said this, as if he wanted to explain the whole thing, but he felt troublesome and closed his mouth.

Compared with when I was a child, I have become less frank.

I didn't ask any more questions, so I raised my phone and shook the map sent by the teacher: "There is a new base."

34

It is an old factory.

Kiritsugu was very satisfied with this hidden place, and more importantly, it was not far from the target's hiding place, and even if the target was at home, he could directly snipe at it.

I don't mind that.

Even if this operation fails, is it possible that my employer will still blame Kiritsugu?nonexistent.

His safety is paramount.

In case something like ten years ago happened, and Kiritsugu was accidentally bitten by a dead disciple, it would be too late for me to cry.

Because the action is led by Kiritsugu, I also listen to his words very much, I can still do it, put any weapon in any place, and sort out the data.

I enjoy the time alone with Kiritsugu.

Although he has no impression on me at all, he is already a part of my life.

Even if it was just a momentary impulse at first, it changed later.

For ten years, it has been like air.

Intangible, tasteless, but inseparable.

As I described it at the time——

This emotion has already fermented.

35

"Bai Chuan is a very big magic family." Kiritsugu asked seemingly unintentionally, "Why is there only you and that man in that mansion?"

"I'm an orphan."

"..."

"I picked it up after I was discovered, um, that's not right, I found it by myself." Of course I also knew that Kiritsugu was trying to trick me, but I didn't really care, "It was ten years ago things."

"—"

Kiritsugu's pupils contracted slightly, the word ten years seemed to touch his nerves.He read my name again, gave me a strange look, and hurried out without saying anything to me.

......what.

Is it possible that I will be remembered after ten years?Ah...no, not right.He might just have thought of something about the Dead Apostles ten years ago, and went out to verify his conjecture.

It's so casual, and I left my employer again.

I turned on the radio to make sure I was in touch with him, then dozed off on my desk.

"Are you using it?"

The sudden sound startled me, and it took me a while to realize that it was the radio.

"Yeah." I replied, "Kiritsugu."

"..." He didn't seem to have anything to do with me calling him by name, he just sighed, "Go to the left of the second floor and count two windows now."

"Huh? Good."

"Be careful and keep quiet, don't use a flashlight."

"OK."

I tiptoed up to the second floor as Kiritsugu said.

"The target's car can be seen from that window, the license plate number is ■■■■■■■"

"Well, I see."

"..."

Kiritsugu was silent for a while.

"...At that time, I found out that the explosions were chained." He said softly, the content was completely out of line with the previous ones, "There is no house nearby, but there is a household about two kilometers away, the time set It's 10 minutes from the hotel."

What?

It took me a long time to realize that he was talking about the hotel.

"Are you going to defuse the bomb?" I asked.

"Well, the consequences of that kind of explosion, those who can survive and those who can't survive are very clear. If you go to that resident, you can save more people."

"..."

Mixed feelings.

Should I rejoice that Kiritsugu is still a good boy ten years ago, or should I cry about the fact that he treats me and the people in that household as equals.

...I'm still crying.

"I seriously suspect that there are many beautiful young ladies in that resident, so you went there."

In order to hide my feelings, I said so with a very serious tone.

"..."

Then he just cut off the radio.

I couldn't figure out why he asked me to go up to the second floor all night.

36

The mission went very well.After I fell asleep on the second floor, I woke up and found Kiritsugu standing next to me looking out the window.I looked up slightly and saw his profile.

The boy's eyes were still dull and dull, but it was probably because the color of the rising sun was so beautiful at this time that his eyes were also stained with that strange color.

Cat.

Yes... many cats I have seen before look like this, in the light, the eyes are very beautiful--

I wanted to watch quietly for a while, but he noticed my movements.He looked down at me, took a step back, reached a place where the light couldn't reach, and entered the darkness again.

This change brought me back to my senses.

Leaving the light is just that moment.

Just like ten years ago, at that moment, he entered the darkness.

"Awake?" Kiritsugu said indifferently, "Then get up, you can go back."

"Okay...huh?!"

I was shocked when I answered subconsciously.

Wait, the agreed three days!Now the time spent alone has been shortened by a third!

"I'm lucky, the target went out alone last night." Kiritsugu saw that my inner thoughts were completely exposed on my face, so he explained aloud, "I've already booked your return ticket."

...Super ruthless!

What else is there to tell me to go back!Do you want to leave separately?

"I'm going to hijack the helicopter." Kiritsugu said, "And if I go back with you, those magicians will definitely say, ah, the Shirakawa family will even find a magician killer, maybe something like that."

"I don't mind!" I stood up and threw myself on him, "Fame is something you can't eat! I don't care what happened to the Bai Chuan family! It was something that suddenly appeared later! Even in chronological order But Kiritsugu!"

The boy in my arms froze completely.Although he has grown up and is taller than me, he is still very slender.I rubbed it unsatisfactorily.

So thin.

I didn't notice it last time, but now he is wearing a little thinner than when he came to my house, saying that it is for the convenience of movement... But when I hug him, I feel really thin.

Definitely haven't had a good meal in ten years.

"open......"

"No."

"There's something in the helicopter—"

"Then I don't want it, you just fly with me." I said in a serious tone, "Anyway, if I said that I would go to hijack a helicopter with you, it would definitely cause trouble, then I just don't want it, I will go back and write down the contents of the contract. Just cross it out."

"—"

Kiritsugu calmed down again.He lifted me off his body and looked at me condescendingly, as if he was wondering if what I just said was serious.

I raised a smile to face him.

He stopped breathing, then ignored me, turned around and went downstairs as if he was a little embarrassed.

what.

It seems that Kiritsugu is not very good at dealing with me.

I banged myself on the head.

The packed weapon box was just brought down by him, and now the only thing left on the second floor is the quilt on the ground.Quilt...huh?When did this quilt come out?

I stared at the quilt for a while before I recalled that it was just covering me.

Picking up the quilt, I started a single loop called "Hey Hey Hey".

Occasionally, a few "so so" came out of his mouth.

A certain boy who couldn't stand it anymore climbed up from the first floor and threw a pillow on my head.

37

Last came the private jet.

The teacher called it for me, and Kiritsugu's ticket was refunded by him.But it seems that he has something to do and can't come.I don't think there's anything wrong with it when I think about it carefully. I feel that the Association of Magicians studies this and that every day.

Kiritsugu finally agreed to fly back with me.

This is probably the last solitude. Emiya Kiritsugu, who doesn't know me, has any reason to stay in the Shirakawa residence after the contract ends?

I racked my brains and couldn't figure it out.

But I also feel satisfied..
