[FateZero] Air and water droplets

Was it yesterday? "I asked softly.

"Ah."

He knew that he was cursed, and he also deduced from my behavior that I would save him...but he couldn't deduce that it was a magic power exchange.

Otherwise, his expression would not be so calm.

He did lose consciousness when he was still exchanging magic power just now, so he didn't know what I was doing.

I even feel that I may have temporarily ruled out the curse, and it will come back soon with the magic power, so I need to hurry up.

"...Why? Because I am the heir of the Bai Chuan family?"

Bai Chuan didn't have any stains in the magician family. Although he didn't make good friends with many families, his connections were not bad.When I asked the exit, I knew it must not be the reason.

I guessed what he wanted to do, but I still couldn't guess his reason.

"...No." Kiritsugu said softly, "It's just that if you are used as a bait, all the people in City C will be saved."

"—"

The closest place to our tracking target is City C.

I don't understand the specific meaning of salvation in his mouth, but he seems to have reached some kind of agreement with our original goal, or our original goal originally wanted something related to me——

So use me as bait.

Change city c to be saved.

One person for the life of a city——

What a bargain.

I should have realized it earlier.

No, that's not right.I realized a long time ago, when he shot down Natalia with his own hands, how fair and terrible that balance is.

So when this moment comes, I can't even make a surprised expression, but I feel a little sad in my heart.

I couldn't sue him, blame him.

What can I say?

Said he was ruthless and didn't choose me?

Stop making trouble, I was the rogue pestering him from the beginning to the end, what right do I have to say such things.

His balance is too strong, so strong that even if I say such a whisper, he will make such a choice without the slightest hesitation.

"Then...do you remember me?"

"...Sorry." He hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard everything you said, and I have a vague impression that maybe we have met before."

"...That's it."

I said regretfully.

"Then can you hug me?" I opened my arms, my voice trembling slightly, "I've liked you for a long time, you can't even give me a hug, can you?"

In the stubborn logic of the young man, if someone is saved, someone must be sacrificed.

But in his heart, he wanted to take care of both and save more people.

So even if my number is "1", he didn't give up on me because of the whole city c from the beginning.

As I thought, that gentle boy did not refuse my request.

After a moment of hesitation, he came over and hugged me.

But that's all.

After a brief touch, he asked me to pick up the umbrella bag.

When he passed me again, I sneaked a kiss to him.

Kiritsugu parachuted.

The feeling of weightlessness became stronger and stronger, and the speed of the plane's fall accelerated, making the fuselage seem to be coated with a layer of film. It rubbed against the air and sparks ignited.

I took out my mobile phone, checked for a signal, and dialed the teacher's number.

"Teacher, what time is it over there?"

"Three in the morning...didn't I say don't call me at work—"

"I'm going to die."

My tone is pretty relaxed, like saying it's a nice day.

But the teacher was so shocked that he lost his voice, and it took a while to hear the sound of patting the table and leather shoes on the ground.

"Where are you now?! Where's that bastard Emiya Kiritsugu?!"

"Wow, teacher, how can you call little Kiritsugu a jerk! This is too much!"

"Don't be vague!!" The teacher's voice sounded like he was annoyed, "Give me the position!"

The teacher knew I wouldn't joke about this kind of thing.

"Well... I'm still on the plane, and the exact location is not clear, but it hasn't been long since the crash started, so it should be near the flight path."

How bad it was.

I can't help thinking this way.

"I told you that people can change! I also told you not to contact that magician killer!" The teacher yelled, "You said you were going to die...could it be a plane crash?"

"Teacher, you are like an old father." I blinked, and continued before my joke exploded again: "I can still use enhanced magic when the plane crashes...but I put Kiritsugu's curse Transferred to himself."

"------"

A dash can't express the teacher's shock at all.

So there are two.

"...You just like him like that?"

He lowered his voice, but I could still hear the trill.

"Well, my favorite."

I love everything about him deeply.

Natalia was like a bird, while Emiya Kiritsugu was like a tree, firmly rooted in the backyard he built called "Partner of Justice".

The tree will bloom and bear fruit, but in any case, no matter how luxuriant the flowers bloom and how full the fruits are, he can only stay in this yard.

Can't get out.

But struggling to poke his head out of the yard, wanting to touch more lives.

"He... is not a magician killer."

Even though he is gentler than anyone else, he still puts on that indifferent expression.

He is obviously more hopeful than anyone else, but he always does cruel things.

This executor of justice has such a precise balance... Therefore, there is always an equal sacrifice.

When he allowed himself to become such a person, he was destined to become a machine, surpassing all living beings and making choices for those who survived. This is clearly a kind of arrogance——

However, he will want to cry after giving up.

Then I was sure.

This is not arrogance, but a kind of humility.

I deeply love everything about him, including the humbleness that makes him cry and suffer.

He was trembling all the time, rather than saying that he was walking on the verge of collapse, it might be better to say that his function as "Emiya Kiritsugu" had been necrotic ten years ago.

The "Emiya Kiritsugu" who felt that he could abandon all emotions, that even his "self" could be used as a tool, and that he could measure human lives by numbers——

"Just a lonely ordinary person."

I heard myself say that.

The teacher was silent for a long time, and he didn't speak again until I could clearly feel the falling speed of the plane:

"You too."

41

There was no way for the teacher to rush over, so he didn't speak when the wind from the crash of the plane swelled my cheeks.

Originally, I thought that he would at least reprimand me.

My way of doing things is not like a magician at all, love brain is definitely not good, and why am I so stupid that I can’t even see this level of traps——

But he didn't.

He knows that I have become a qualified magician even if I haven't been serious in these ten years, I don't have a love brain to analyze the situation calmly, and I can't see Kiritsugu's trap of using me as bait.

From the moment he signed the contract I realized he wasn't serious.

Even the contract did not include the condition of "protecting Shirakawa Haiyin's safety".

But I was still stupid enough to come out with him.

"It's okay, anyway, I always feel that there is something wrong with my luck." I scratched my cheek and said to the teacher, "So teacher, don't be angry, you have been angry for me so many times."

Fortunately, he met Kiritsugu, but unfortunately, he separated from Kiritsugu.

Fortunately, Natalia was contacted, but unfortunately she died later.

Fortunately, I found Kiritsugu's contact information, but unfortunately he doesn't remember me.

And then greeted me after my lucky solitude—

Was it an unfortunate death?

I'm really the exact opposite of Komadou.

I, who should have been angry at Kiritsugu's actions... I almost couldn't get angry anymore from laughing.

"boom--!!"

The crash site of the plane was at sea.It doesn't mean that things like water can reduce the damage. You can know how painful it is to pat hard on the calm water with your hands, let alone coming down from such a high place.

I subconsciously used enhanced magic, but at the moment of the impact, I almost lost consciousness in pain, my bones were almost torn apart, and the pain spread throughout my body.

After that, it sinks.

Before falling into the sea, the plane was on fire, and the sea water was extremely hot at this moment.

But the deeper it sinks, the colder it gets.

I hugged myself tightly, and the curse seemed to be taking effect, and I couldn't exert my strength.

"... Gulu, Gulu."

I opened my mouth and the last breath of oxygen leaked out of my mouth.

"--so cold."

I think so.

Something warm overflowed from his eyes, but was instantly submerged in the sea water.

[View switching, third person]

The man was awakened by the biological clock.

He opened his eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling of Einzbern Castle. For a moment, he couldn't recall what dream he had just had, only the suffocation of drowning remained in his body.

"Honey?"

Seeing his absent-minded appearance, his wife yelled worriedly.

"...It's nothing." He shook his head, leaving the dream of unclear meaning behind him, "Eri—"

He took his wife into his arms.

The Holy Grail War is about to begin.

-1

Emiya Kiritsugu would always hurt the people he loved the most.

The same goes for those who love him.

He knew this, and even understood that the ending of this Holy Grail War was the same as before.

Whether he succeeds or fails, he is bound to lose
