The End of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City

So no matter how many punches Kirei Kotomine lands on him, no matter how many times he falls, Shirou Emiya will always get back up.

He had already noticed the large rocks constantly collapsing around him and the clods of earth falling like rain.

At that moment, he had only one thought, a thought that the audience could feel even through the screen.

End all of this, and then return to Sakura's side.

"Hey, if it were you, would you fight as hard as Shirou Emiya?"

Off-screen, a girl nestled in her boyfriend's arms asked with a smile.

"Of course!"

The man quickly nodded.

How could you possibly get this freebie question wrong? Getting it wrong is a recipe for disaster!

"Really? You're actually willing to die for me?" The girl asked, her face beaming with joy.

Of course.

The man nodded with difficulty. He guessed that his girlfriend would definitely pull some trick to test him, and he just hoped that he could withstand the test.

In fact, every woman in a couple watching HF asked her boyfriend this question.

"If it were us, would you be willing to risk your life for me like Shirou Emiya?"

Although all the men gave surprisingly consistent answers, what they were really thinking remains a mystery.

Anyway, these men hated Shinji Matou who made them do the problems.

[Damn it, Shinji Matou, why did you portray the male protagonist as working so hard?! Are you trying to contrast him with how uncaring we boyfriends are?!] *N

Achoo! Achoo!

Shinji, feeling the resentment of countless men, sneezed several times.

"Damn, she typed so many at once. Which beautiful girl is thinking of me?"

Shinji thought shamelessly.

Fortunately, Shirou Emiya's strange constitution helped him; the sharp blades that constantly emerged from his body caused Kirei Kotomine to get injured himself when he attacked him.

What was originally the culprit Shirou Emiya's physical transformation has now become his weapon to defeat his enemies.

Kirei Kotomine also noticed this, and he changed his attack strategy, aiming his fists more directly at Shirou Emiya's head.

Since your body is so hard to hit, I'll just hit other parts of you.

Even if your head is full of blades, I'll still win if I smash your head open.

Kirei Kotomine knew very well that he didn't have long to live, so risking his arm to kill the boy in front of him was a very worthwhile trade.

However, at the very last moment, just a second before his fist struck Shirou Emiya, Kirei Kotomine's fist was extended but stopped in mid-air.

"Is it over? It was just a matter of time. My luck is really bad."

Like Shirou Emiya, the priest's body had long since died, and he was able to continue moving only because of his own obsession.

Unfortunately, he was a little unlucky; he fell a fraction of a second earlier than the boy.

"You won, Shirou Emiya."

"Although I don't know how many more seconds your body can hold out, if you still have a purpose, then hurry up and go."

Kirei Kotomine slowly collapsed, declaring it in an indifferent tone, as if to say that tomorrow's weather would be cloudy.

"Kotomine."

"You are the final Master. Go before the Holy Grail and fulfill your wish."

After saying these words, the priest's life finally came to an end; he died in the last moment before the Holy Grail descended.

Chapter 222 The End of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City

At this moment, nothing could stand between Shirou Emiya and the Holy Grail; the boy's wish was finally about to be fulfilled.

Unfortunately, all that can be achieved is to allow Sakura to return to a normal life.

Shirou Emiya knew very well that he could not go back.

It's alright, as long as Matou Sakura is okay.

So--

Shirou Emiya stretched out his hands, making a gesture as if he were holding a sword.

"Projection, start..."

With his breath coming in thin air, Shirou Emiya's consciousness was fading. All he knew now was to destroy everything in front of him and get Matou Sakura's life back on track.

Just as Shirou Emiya was about to use up the last bit of his life, a gentle voice rang in his ear.

"No, Shirou, you can't die!"

"Because I am the one who is closing this door."

Illya, dressed in the Heavenly Garment, appeared on the big screen.

The white and gold Magecraft Mystic Code immediately attracted the audience's attention upon its appearance.

Gorgeous, beautiful, and mysterious.

It can be said that, apart from simplicity and restraint, almost every word that can be used to describe clothing can be applied to this unforgettable garment.

"What a gorgeous dress! It's so beautiful!"

Akiha, the little girl, gazed at the Gilgamesh Heavenly Robe, a slight blush rose to her cheeks—a blush born from a little girl's longing for sparkly clothing.

"I'm so envious of you, Illya, you get to wear such beautiful clothes while filming... Illya?"

Akiha then noticed that Illya beside her was calmly watching herself on the screen.

The indifference in his expression wasn't feigned; it was genuine.

Of course, it wasn't just Illya; Shirou, Rin, and everyone else, including Rider, all wore this indescribable expression.

If Akiha had more experience, she would know that the expressions on these older brothers and sisters' faces were the standard expressions of someone who had just finished a very tiring task and was too exhausted to even smile—what is commonly known as the "wise man's time."

What's wrong with you all?

"Akiha Little Qiuye asked curiously."

"Don't talk to us for now, Akiha- chan."

Illya said heavily, "Right now, I just want some peace and quiet."

"Illya is right, we need some peace and quiet."

Shirou nodded in agreement, his forehead already covered in cold sweat.

"What... happened to you guys?"

Akiha tilted her head curiously.

As a newcomer, Akiha had no idea how difficult it was to film the few minutes or so that Heaven's Garment Illya appeared in, or how long the entire HF crew had struggled with that scene.

Just in case you forget, let me explain again.

Although the Heavenly Robe is a white dress, it is essentially Magecraft Mystic Code made of gold.

If touched by humans, it will revert to its original gold color.

This "turning back to gold" doesn't mean the clothes turn into a golden blob stuck to the person wearing them; it means they turn into golden powder.

Because of the unique nature of the Heavenly Garment, apart from Illya and Irisviel, who could touch it through family secret techniques, everyone else in the entire crew would have the garment shatter upon touching it.

According to the original setting, the operation of the Heavenly Garment could be performed by non-human beings such as elves and homunculus, meaning that Heroic Spirit could help.

Unfortunately, due to the mysterious decline, the Heavenly Garment has become extremely fragile. The bodies of Heroic Spirit are entirely composed of magic and spiritual particles, and any contact with the Heavenly Garment will cause damage to the garment.

In conclusion, during the filming of this scene, apart from Illya, who was wearing this outfit, and Irisviel, who was helping out, everyone else was strictly prohibited from having any contact with her.

If anyone touches the Heavenly Garment, a scene that can't even be shown in late-night shows will appear on set—a naked little girl.

For this reason, filming the Heaven's Garment storyline was extremely difficult, and everyone had to be very careful, constantly reminding themselves not to touch anything that might cause trouble.

Not only do you have to remind yourself not to touch things carelessly, but you also have to prevent others from doing the same thing, or accidentally bumping into Illya.

The entire filming process was extremely painful; everyone involved suffered from neurasthenia after filming this scene.

Shinji, in particular, was constantly on edge for those few days as the Director was.

Of course, Shinji himself wasn't worried about Illya's wardrobe malfunction; she's just a flat-chested little girl with nothing to see. He'd rather spend that time thinking about how to ride Rider.

Shinji feared that, besides the accident, the Einzbern's millennia-old wisdom—the Garment of Heaven—would be damaged.

Putting aside how much gold it takes to make the Heavenly Garment, this thing itself is an antique.

Although even Irisviel didn't know exactly when this costume, which had been attempted to be made a thousand years ago, was finally completed, it was certainly earlier than the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

That means this clothing is at least 200 years old. If Napoleonic-era clothing were placed in modern times, who would dare say it wasn't an antique!?

After learning about the Heavenly Garment, Shinji actually backed down and decided to give up using the original Heavenly Garment and switch to normal clothes.

As a result, Irisviel, being the eccentric character she is, upon hearing that the Heavenly Garment was part of the story, immediately had the costume shipped from Germany.

By the time Shinji found out about this, the clothes had already been cleared through customs.

"Irisviel, quickly have someone send the clothes back!"

At the time, Irisviel appeared completely innocent in the face of Shinji's demands.

"But the clothes will be delivered soon."

"Delivered? How much longer?"

Irisviel held up a five to Shinji.

"Five days? If I contact you immediately... damn it!" (in both Chinese and Japanese)

As Shinji saw Irisviel slowly bend a finger, Shinji bulged on his forehead.

Then he heard the deliveryman's voice.

"Miss Einzbern, there's a package from Germany for you."

"..."

By the way, I have to say, Irisviel used international express to send the Garment of Heaven. I don't know if she's just incredibly carefree, incredibly carefree, or incredibly carefree.

Although the box containing the Heavenly Garment underwent special treatment to ensure that there would be no problems during transportation.

But what if customs inspects the box and opens it?!

You said you used Suggestion Magic on the box, but what if the Magecraft fails?!

In fact, given Shinji's consistent style, even if Irisviel sent the clothes over, he didn't intend to use the genuine article.

But under Irisviel's excuse, "We've brought it all, aren't you going to give it a try?", Shinji decided to give it a try anyway.

Then, try it and you die.

The complicated and tedious process of filming "Heaven's Garment" caused Shinji to suffer from a nervous breakdown after filming this scene.

The only thing that brought him comfort was that Kiritsugu Emiya an even worse situation than him.

Fearing that his daughter might accidentally expose herself, Kiritsugu was fully armed on set those few days.

If something happens that no one wants to happen, Kiritsugu will prepare to directly block information (physically).

On several occasions, Shinji was afraid that Kiritsugu discharge.

Despite all the complaints, the photos taken with genuine Tianzhiyi products are indeed amazing.

As a highly mysterious Magecraft Mystic Code, the Heavenly Robe appears with a soft glow under the lens, making Illya seem mysterious and elusive.

This visual effect cannot be achieved through post-production editing or shooting techniques.

As the Magecraft Mystic Code that is currently closest to the Third Magic, the Heavenly Robe's special effects are mysterious and absolutely impossible for anything else to imitate.

In any case, all the viewers who witnessed this scene were stunned by the visual effects displayed by the Heavenly Garment.

"Is this the charm of the Third Magic? It's really beautiful."
