"Ten years of waiting! Ten years of hiding! Ten years of patience! Fifth Holy Grail War is finally about to begin."
Emiya Kiritsugu, disguised as Kotomine Kirei, stood in the church hall, looking at the huge cross standing in front of him, with naked excitement and expectation in his tone.
Because in these years, he has been paying attention to the movements of Einzbern family and the health of his daughter Illyasviel.
As an experimental product of the combination of normal humans and Homunculus, this girl with a loli appearance and height is already eighteen years old, but she looks like she is eleven or twelve years old.
Obviously, the large amount of Magic Circuit in her body and the Vessel of the Holy Grail embedded in her body have seriously affected her normal growth.
"Yes! Our family is finally reunited."
Irisviel stroked his long silver hair, his eyes showing deep longing for his daughter.
But soon, she turned her attention to the other two people sitting next to her and asked in an uncertain tone, "Allen, are you sure you really don't need me to participate as Master?"
"Of course! The Master of Holy Grail War has basically been determined, that is Kiritsugu, Illyasviel, I, Sakura, also There is Sakura's sister Rin, and your apprentice Shirou. As for the last position, it's better to leave it a little more suspenseful," Allen replied casually.
Under his control, this time Holy Grail War has already broken away from any timeline and is developing in a new and unknown direction.
Especially Shirou, not only is he accompanied by his biological parents, but he also has a lovely sister who is five years younger than him at home. He looks like a winner in life.
It can be said that apart from a strong sense of justice and learning Projection Magic, there is no similarity at all.
"I don't understand why you have to let that child Shirou participate in Holy Grail War. He looks so ordinary. Whether it is the number of Magic Circuit in his body or his learning talent, he is far inferior to Sakura and Rin." Irisviel frowned and showed doubts and confusion.
"Ordinary? No, madam, he is not ordinary at all. On the contrary, his potential is beyond your imagination." Allen explained meaningfully.
After all, this was the first person to start the wave of hand-tossing Heroic Spirit. He used actual actions to prove that Master is no weaker than Heroic Spirit, fundamentally overturning the inherent perception that Heroic Spirit is definitely stronger than Magus.
Its Inherent Domain - Unlimited Blade Works can project most of the sword-related Noble Phantasm, which is equivalent to the weakened version of Golden Flash Gate of Babylon.
If such a guy is still called ordinary, then Waver, the bottom among the monarchs, and more than half of Clock Tower's first-level lecturers will be so ashamed and angry that they will commit suicide.
Irisviel nodded doubtfully, and then asked, "Does Rin know your plan?"
"No! My sister is still immersed in the fantasy of regaining the glory of Tohsaka. If nothing else, she should have started to summon her own Servant in the past two days. Three days ago, I have seen her find the Snake skin that her father used." Sakura stood up and answered with a smile.
"Is it King of Heroes Gilgamesh again?" Emiya Kiritsugu pursed his lips and revealed a playful smile.
"What about you? Which Servant are you planning to summon this time?" Allen asked with interest.
"Me? I have set my sights on Bazett Fraga Macramis sent by the Mage's Association. This guy is preparing to use Holy Relics earrings to summon the legendary Ireland Child of Light Cu Chulainn, I just need to snatch Command Spells from him at the critical moment." Emiya Kiritsugu touched the cross hanging around his neck, with a unique smile on Magus Killer's face.
With the current enchantment mark on his body and his own unique Magic Crest Origin Bullet, it is easy for him to deal with young people like Bazett who lack vigilance and social experience.
What's more, there is Hisau Maiya, a right-hand man who is helping secretly.
"Haha, in that case, let's take action. Because this will be the last Holy Grail War, and when it ends, Third Magic will reappear."
After saying this, Allen stood up from the chair, covered his hair and face with the hood of his sweater, and slowly walked out of the church with Sakura.
After watching the two of them walk away completely, Irisviel then stepped in front of her husband, gently touched Kotomine Kirei's face with very gentle movements, and said softly, "Kiritsugu, be careful, I don't want to lose you again when I finally get Illya back."
"Don't worry! This time Holy Grail War's situation is completely different from last time. The strong alliance between Allen, Sakura and I already has an overwhelming advantage. And Rin is Sakura's sister, Illya is our daughter, Shirou is your disciple, so there is only one enemy in the true sense, and that is the unknown last Master. So this Holy Grail War is not so much a war as it is an exercise to train these young people." Emiya Kiritsugu said with unprecedented ease.
As the only person who has personally witnessed the final outcome of the last Holy Grail War, he knows very well how powerful Allen's trump card is and how terrifying Yamato is.
Coupled with Sakura, whose strength is increasing day by day, and has long become invisible to people, it is completely a flying dragon riding face game, and it is difficult to lose.
Irisviel is undoubtedly very aware of this, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, maybe I am overthinking. I really hope I can see Illya sooner! In my memory, she is still that little kid who always likes to ride on your shoulders and act like a baby."
"Don't worry, our dream will come true soon. I swear, I will never separate you mother and daughter again this time." Emiya Kiritsugu gave an unequivocal guarantee.
At the same time, Allen and Sakura were walking aimlessly on the streets after leaving the church, enjoying their rare free time.
Especially Sakura, she would hold Allen's arm whenever she went out.
Starting from the age of eight or nine, this habit has been maintained for almost six or seven years. To outsiders, they look like a young high school couple.
But in fact, Allen has always been Sakura's guardian, playing the role of brother and father.
Feeling the warmth brought by the sun shining on his body, Allen couldn't help but smile and sighed, "How long has it been since the last time we went out together? It's been almost half a year."
"Well! A full six months and four days. Allen should also go out for a walk often, instead of hiding at home all day studying magic and video games." Sakura reminded with a gentle smile on his face.
"It's not that I don't want to go out for a walk, but I'm afraid that I might accidentally meet an acquaintance and be recognized, otherwise it will cause an uproar in the magic world." Allen shrugged helplessly.
According to the original plan, he planned to go to Clock Tower to study for a period of time after the last Holy Grail War.
However, I felt the rejection from the whole world at the airport, and finally had no choice but to give up my plan to leave Fuyuki City, and turned to the path of self-study by purchasing books and materials.
Self-study, of course, means staying at home, reading books, doing experiments, and playing video games to pass the time.
After all, online games have gradually become popular since 2000, and some of the more interesting turn-based Japanese cartoon online games are quite interesting.
Obviously!
This is Allen's original otaku attribute showing up again.
After all, staying at home, as long as it lasts for more than a month, will form a terrible inertia, and then you will continue to stay at home and form a stable living habit.
Sakura had seen through this a long time ago, but she didn't say it out loud. She just kept a faint smile and continued to ask, "Holy Grail War is over, are we about to leave this world?"
"Yes! How about it, are you ready? It's still too late to regret now." Allen stopped and stared at the girl's lavender eyes.
"Regret? No! I just have some expectations for what other worlds are like. As long as I can stay with you forever, it doesn't matter even if I go to Hell."
When she said these words, Sakura's eyes shone with naked and unabashed admiration and fascination.
For her, the sudden appearance of this person in front of her not only saved her from the abyss of darkness with no hope at all, but also gave her powerful strength and a happy life.
Especially his status in the heart is even far above that of his mother Aoi and sister Rin.
So when Allen made the invitation, the girl agreed without any hesitation.
"In that case, then enjoy your last time in this world. Remember, don't hold back in this Holy Grail War. Let me see what level your efforts and training have reached over the years."
After saying that, Allen raised his hand to help the girl push her wind-blown hair behind her ears, then turned around and walked toward one of the dark alleys alone.
Sakura stood there silently watching Allen disappear around the corner at the end. A flash of silver light like frost flashed around her pupils, and then she murmured to herself in a voice that only she could hear, "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
At the same time, inside the Tohsaka Family Mansion.
The most beautiful woman of the Holy Grail Academy and the sixth generation head of Tohsaka family - Tohsaka Rin, is sitting in Magecraft Workshop in the basement, staring at a large box full of different colors gems, gritting his teeth with a grimace and complaining. "That bastard Allen! He actually took advantage of the situation and offered a price that was 30% higher than usual. Ahhhh!!! I had to sell all the ruby pendants left by my father."
Obviously, in order to prepare to participate in Holy Grail War, she purchased a large number of gems that can store magic power from Allen.
After all, ordinary time gems are not like the gems produced by Azerath. Almost every one of them has the property of containing magic power to a certain extent, so she has been getting gems from Allen over the years.
Moreover, with the death of Tokiomi, a vegetative person, Tohsaka family has been deteriorating to the point where he can no longer even afford the maintenance of this house.
You can tell this just by looking at the overgrown garden outside.
"Rin! Are you still in the basement? Come out to eat quickly! Otherwise the food will get cold."
Just when Rin was going crazy and cursing Allen, the "profiteer" and "Vampire", his mother Aoi's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Here it comes! Mom!"
Rin didn't have time to think too much, she immediately closed the box full of gems and ran from the basement to the restaurant.
Seeing the displeasure in her daughter's eyes, Aoi immediately asked with a smile, "Did you go to Ying's place again to buy gems from Allen?"
"Yes! Holy Grail War is about to start, I have to be ready."
Rin didn't try to hide anything and admitted it openly.
"Be careful. Holy Grail War is a fight between Magus and Magus. If you are not careful, you may lose your life like your father."
As soon as she heard that her daughter was going to participate in Holy Grail War, the expression on Aoi's face suddenly became serious.
Although as time passed, she fully recovered from her husband's death and accepted that it was Magus's fate.
But when she thought about her daughter having to follow in her husband's footsteps, the woman felt a strong sense of nervousness and heartache.
But Rin responded nonchalantly, "Don't worry, mom. I am Magus, the most talented Tohsaka family in history. I will definitely surpass my father to fulfill his unfinished wish. And even if I lose, I will not lose my life for it."
"Huh?"
Aoi obviously heard something from her daughter's tone, and immediately asked, "You mean... Sakura will also participate in this Holy Grail War?"
Rin nodded slightly. "That's right! I asked my sister a long time ago, and she gave a positive answer. So we may compete and fight with each other, but we will never want to kill each other. Once the winner is determined, we will immediately choose to stop."
"Huh-well, if I have Sakura, I should be able to rest assured." Aoi was obviously relieved.
Soon, the mother and daughter stopped talking about Holy Grail War and began to concentrate on eating.
As a mother, Aoi would occasionally ask a question or two about school, hoping to divert the tension caused by Holy Grail War.
In any case, when she married Tohsaka family, she already understood that Magus's way of thinking and concepts were hugely different from normal people.
Holy Grail, in particular, has irreplaceable significance for Tohsaka family, who participated in its creation.
And this meaning, to a certain extent, transcends life and death, and must be obtained even at the cost of life.
In contrast, Rin is full of expectations for Holy Grail War.
Moreover, Emiya Kiritsugu's teachings are much more serious than those of Kotomine Kirei, clearly stating that the true meaning of Holy Grail's existence is to reach Root and realize Third Magic, rather than the universal wish-making rumored by the outside world, and the various precautions for summoning Servant.
This is also the reason why Rin found the ancient Snake skin hidden in the secret room early.
Perhaps the only question is whether she, who is arrogant and arrogant, can live in harmony with King of Heroes Gilgamesh, who is also arrogant, arrogant and unreasonable...
