Did the witch get her wish today?

"This... this is?! Is the idol crying?"

The scene in front of him was obviously weird. After all, the priest who had been in the church every day was stunned at this moment.

"Impossible... This stone statue was already here when the church was built? Why is it today..."

His voice was interrupted by a burst of laughter.

Lilium looked at the statue of the Virgin who was still shedding tears, and suddenly laughed uncontrollably.

"I didn't expect...haha, actually here? At this time...hahahaha——!"

The blood oozing from the woman's eyes was so dazzling, dripping continuously on the ground in front of her, but she only felt it was very ironic, as if she heard some special joke, her stomach hurt from laughing.

Strangely enough, there was no particularly huge emotional fluctuation in my heart, and I didn't even feel pain or sadness.

"Who are you crying for? Father Yanfeng? Me? Or..."

In the thick fog and ruined walls, the figure of "father" howling in pain and facing the ruins day after day flashed through her mind.

Heart? Suddenly twitched.

"It's too late, it's too late."

The sound of shattering continued to resound, and as the blood flowed down, more and more cracks appeared on the statue's body.

"What else can you do but cry?"

After speaking, the girl stood up without hesitation.

"Thank you, Yanfeng-kun. You really... love your father very much."

It's just a pity that everything can't be turned back now.

At the moment when she opened the door of the church, Lilium heard the sound of something completely broken and falling to the ground behind her.

She didn't look back.

Outside the church? Although it is still winter, the bright sunshine dispels the cold.The sky is a clear blue, and the floating clouds change their shapes silently under the influence of the wind.

Gilgamesh is leaning against the outside wall of the church, and he doesn't know when he started to wait here.

"Have you discovered Kotomine Kirei's true nature long ago?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned this person to her when the Holy Grail War first started.

"Well, he's an interesting man, isn't he?"

It's very ironic, even though he was named "Kirei" by his father, and he is also a member of the church, but that man doesn't have the emotions that normal human beings should have.

To put it simply, he is a born villain.

I'm afraid he has also realized that, coupled with his love for his father and wife, he has always abided by morality and ethics for the first half of his life, and never crossed the line.

But now in this world, there is no longer any shackles that can restrain Kotomine Kirei.

Lilium turned her head and glared at the blond-haired, red-eyed man.

"Forget it, as you like."

Anyway, pay attention when the time comes, just don't let him roll over.

Gilgamesh smiled incredulously, and suddenly walked towards her.

The man lowered his head slightly and looked at her carefully.

"……What's wrong?"

Gourd? What kind of medicine does this guy sell?

"No, I just suddenly feel that this Holy Grail War is finally starting to become interesting."

The sun was shining on his blond hair, and even Lilium would have to admit that this guy had a really good face.

"What's more...you have really grown? You have grown a lot."

After finishing speaking, before the girl could react, the man turned around, turned into a golden light and disappeared, leaving only a voice behind.

"Go ahead and do what you want to do, Ben? The king will wait and see."

This...huh? ?

Is she... being praised?

Do you want to say thank you to him later, and then praise him in turn?

Lilium was hesitating when she suddenly received a message from the messenger.

It was the one she left with Matou Kariya, he seemed to have made up his mind.

According to the other party's request, the girl arrived near the Matou family's mansion at ten o'clock in the evening.

"Awaited."

The young man was hiding in a dark alley. He looked even weaker. He couldn't even stand upright, so he could only lean his back against the wall to support his body.

"You...can you really save Sakura?"

His voice trembled a little, and he paused when he spoke, as if he would faint in the next second.

With such a dilapidated body, even if he wins the Holy Grail War, he probably won't be able to live long.

"I do what I say."

When the last trace of red in the sky disappeared, under the leadership of the man, Lilium, who had dispelled the illusion, stepped into the Matou family's mansion openly.

"Oh, oh, there are still guests coming so late."

The shriveled and short old man, exuding a decayed atmosphere, stood at the gate with a cane, as if he had expected everything.

"Kariya, it seems? You are more stupid than I imagined."

"Really?" Lilium sighed softly as he cast a barrier on Matou Kariya, looking at the old man in front of him who was no different from a demon. "I think he's very brave."

She once heard anecdotes about the establishment of the Holy Grail System in Fuyuki City when she was visiting an old friend.

In the beginning, it was Machlij Zorgen who connected the Einzbern family in Germany with the Tohsaka family in Japan.For an unattainable ideal, he visited the Einzbern family in 1800, where only artificial humans remained, and finally built the Great Holy Grail with the other two. system.

And that unattainable ideal is——

"This...this is...!"

The battle with Zouken Matou is not difficult. Although he has given up his gun, he still has a human soul in essence.

"This is not the purification technique of the Holy Church... Ugh! Who are you?!"

After a few tricks, the old man's long-decayed soul was trapped in place by Lilium's spell.

"As expected of a great magician, you can see it right away?"

What she uses is the restraint and attack techniques for souls and evil spirits that she has mastered while traveling in other worlds.

Because the source of activation is your own spiritual power, not magic circuits or magic power, even in other worlds, you can use it freely as long as you memorize the incantations and starting moves.

"I can't help it. People always have to save a few hands for themselves." Lilium said as she stretched out her hand neatly, and the fireball from her palm directly blasted the attacking insects into ashes. "A weak woman like me who has no physical fitness at all needs to learn how to protect herself."

At first, she was just practicing advanced magic while traveling, but as time passed, she realized a fact.

If the magic or magic that he relies on for self-protection is sealed, then he is equivalent to an ordinary person who has no power to restrain himself and cannot die.

But often in the battle with the alien gods and the old rulers, and even alien creatures, it is happier to be dead than to be alive.

"Why?! Why can you maintain the stability of your soul—!"

Even if he is getting old, the strength of the former magician should not be underestimated.Under his desperate struggle, the light rod used to restrain him was actually broken open a gap.

The old man's body immediately turned into a dark swarm of insects, rushing straight towards the young girl who was not protected by the barrier.

"The Holy Grail belongs to the old—!"

This is what Matou Kariya saw when he returned to the battlefield after rescuing Sakura from the worm warehouse.

The nightmare between him and Sakura turned into black mist, and the hoarse voice was full of malice, attacking the pure white girl without hesitation.

At this moment, a sudden change happened?

In the void behind the woman, a pair of huge hands suddenly appeared, abruptly blocking the bug's attack.

It was a pair of slender, strange hands covered with white cracks and well-defined joints.It was so big that the Matou Zouken, which had turned into a swarm of insects, could be completely blocked with the back of his hand.

With the movement of the hands and the attack of the swarm, the white cracks expanded one after another, and things like wall pieces kept falling on the ground, exposing bright red muscles and blood vessels.But after a while, those terrible wounds will heal silently, repeating itself.

It was only then that Kariya noticed that the gray-black thick fog had enveloped Matou's house at some point, like a thick layer of clouds, and there was even a huge roar of an unknown creature in the distance.

Here?... Is it really Fuyuki?

"...Uncle Kariya?"

The man felt a sense of fear from the depths of his bones, and he subconsciously covered the eyes of the little girl in his arms.

"It's okay, it's okay Sakura. It will be over soon."

The magic power was surging, but the engraving worms lurking in his body became uncharacteristically quiet.

"What—! What is this?!"

The roar gradually became clearer, and Kariya became a little panicked when he heard his father's voice. At the same time, he also heard the noise mixed in the roar——

The howls and screams of human beings.

"……I am okay."

The giant hand slowly opened, and the unharmed girl stood there, gently stroking the strange hand that protected her with one hand.Only then did Kariya realize that the color of her skin was almost the same as that of the giant hand.

"Thank you... Dad."

The worms that were originally flying in the air turned white little by little, and their movements became slower and slower.Not long after, the insects that the Matou family relied on to control turned into white pieces and fell to the ground.

The dense fog vibrated, and the space around the strange hand was further distorted. It seemed that something wanted to break free and come to the human world from another world.

At this moment, the engraving worm hidden in Kariya's body let out a scream of fear, scrambling to get out of his body.

The severe pain caused the man to scream. Before he lost consciousness, he subconsciously pulled the thin girl into his arms.

I can't let Sakura see it.

The gate of the dream was knocked, and the most beloved daughter was about to be hurt, which angered the "it" who was indulging in the dream.

A fierce growl sounded in Lilium's ears, and she lowered her head to the ground.The curse that escaped from the crack in the door infected the bugs in Matou's family, turning them all into unconscious platinum lead.

The rest of the swarm escaped from the curse and became the afterimage of the old man.

"Impossible...why, why did you come into contact with a curse of this magnitude, and you are still unscathed?!"

The young girl looked at the lingering old man with a blank face, trying to escape from this demonic realm with his remnant body, and then she showed a smile.

"Because I'm used to it."
