So your treatment method is to dig out your heart?

Artoria stared directly at the beating heart in Shirou's hand. Based on Instinct's ancestral skills, she believed that the heart was taken out of Irisviel's body.

"What's wrong Saber, do you have any questions?"

Artoria didn't speak, just stared at the still warm heart in Shirou's hand.

"This is the Holy Grail you are after. Although it doesn't look like a cup, this is Fuyuki's little Holy Grail!"

Gulu~

I don't know if I saw it wrongly, but Artoria just felt that this thing was a bubble.

"Well... Foreigner, my... uh, did my heart bubble just now?" Irisviel asked somewhat naturally.

Artoria's expression on the side was a bit uncontrollable, it must have been taken out from someone's heart!

"Of course, don't you know, Fuyuki and Greater Grail underground are contaminated. Although wishes can be realized, the methods will be sharper."

Artoria: "?"

Irisviel: "??"

Sharp? This is the first time I have heard someone use this word to describe a method.

"Not in vain?" Shirou scratched his head with his free hand, "How should I put it? For example, if I wish to make everyone happy, the Holy Grail will give me a knife and let me kill all the unhappy people. In this way, everyone will be happy. Or, if I wish for money, the Holy Grail will give me money."

"..." What a wonderful metaphor.

Seemingly thinking of something, Irisviel suddenly asked eagerly, "Wait, Foreigner, Kiritsugu's wish is to create a world where no one will be hurt. Doesn't that mean -"

Irisviel thought of a terrible possibility. If this was really the case, what would that man's efforts so far be?

"Yes, as expected, the Holy Grail should give the result of 'kill everyone in the world'. As long as there are no human beings, no one will be hurt."

The door was suddenly pushed open brutally, and a frightened man rushed in eagerly. "Is everything you said true?"

"Of course, look, it's still bubbling!"

Shirou showed the heart in his hand to Kiritsugu. The latter wanted to snatch the thing from the former's hand, but was cleverly avoided by 𣗙.

"No, if your existence is not twisted enough, you will be cursed if you touch this thing without permission."

"Damn it, what on earth is going on? Why does the Holy Grail--"

The Holy Grail's method of granting wishes is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Kiritsugu. The world and harmony are ideals created for human beings themselves. If the existence of human beings no longer exists, what meaning does harmony have?

"Didn't Ahad tell you first?" Although he knew everything, for the sake of his own character, Shirou decided to act, "Last time Holy Grail War, that is, the time sixty years ago. In order to win, Einzbern used cheating methods to summon Angra Mainyu, the eighth Servant whose rank was Avenger.

It turns out that guy was just a rookie and died on the third day. Although there was no winner in Holy Grail War, 'Angra Mainyu' itself can be seen as a wish. So Greater Grail responded to Angra Mainyu and became this bubbling Black Grail. "

As he said that, Shirou also showed the heart he took out from Irisviel's chest to everyone.

Gulu~

Artoria looked at the bubbling and beating heart, and the corners of his mouth twitched. She is a little glad that she has given up her ideal of saving the country, otherwise she would definitely be more desperate than Kiritsugu.

"Well, Foreigner. Let Kiritsugu calm down for a while. Let's go out first!" Irisviel suggested.

She understands her husband. This man is not the kind of person who is easily defeated. Even if he is depressed, he will not be depressed for long. In this case, it is better to give Kiritsugu enough time and he will figure it out on his own.

After the three of them went out, they also took Maiya with them who was guarding the door.

"Foreigner, what are you going to do with the Lesser Grail in your hand?"

Outside the warehouse, Artoria asked. Although she believed that Shirou would not let Angra Mainyu return easily, she still wanted to know what Shirou did.

"I will put it into Ryuudou Temple, use the conventional Holy Grail War method, let Lesser Grail be born. And then destroy it!" Shirou replied without thinking. Originally, this was one of the two purposes of his trip.

After everyone left, Shirou stood alone in the corner. He covered his chest with a painful expression, and even had to lean against the wall to stand firm.

The next moment, his body even began to precipitate blue-black Spiritron - that was almost a phenomenon that only occurred when Servant retired!

"Damn it, because the anchor point lost , did the power start to flow ?"

Shirou prevented the Little Holy Grail from being born in the center of Fuyuki's body, thus preventing the Fuyuki's fire from breaking out. Without Fuyuki's fire, he, "Emiya Shirou", would naturally become an empty figure.

Relying on rituals like Holy Grail War, Shirou can still exist in this world, but the time will not exceed seven days.

"Do you have a few more days? That's enough!"

Gritting his teeth, Shirou drew more magic power from the "Great Source" to maintain its existence. The result of this is that his existence time in this world will be further reduced. The advantage of this is that his combat effectiveness will not decline because of the loss of Anchor Point.

Although it didn't last long, this Holy Grail War has already reached the decisive battle. Lancelot is solved by Artoria, who is responsible for destroying Iskandar and Gilgamesh.

In the end, Artoria's Noble Phantasm was used to completely destroy the Holy Grail, but this had nothing to do with him.

Lifting his body, which felt heavy for the first time, Shirou headed towards Ryudou Temple alone this time. I mentioned before that the Little Holy Grail was placed in Ryudouji Temple, and the floor tiles there were as incredible as anti-Newtonian liquid.

Last time he led a group in Ryuudou Temple, several houses were demolished, but the floor tiles were nothing!

Perfect for a showdown!

On the way to Ryuudou Temple, Shirou began to wonder, was he qualified?

At least it looks qualified!

He saved Irisviel, he stopped the Fuyuki fire, and he also left a back-up for Illya. There is nothing to worry about anymore and nothing to regret.

Since there is nothing to regret, then he should be pretty good at making this fake!

Shirou gradually sped up the action. At this time, if he hurry up, he can still make dinner for Kiritsugu and the others. Kagami I didn't feel much at all when I was there, but now I cherish this opportunity extra.
