Entering the beginning of April, in the cherry blossom forest outside the new residence of Tosaka family, the flowering period of the cherry blossoms is gradually fading. Apart from the occasional sporadic buds on the branches and the broken calyx that have not yet been blown off, the only thing left is the pink color of the purpose of the ground.

The flowering period that lasted for more than ten days was finally in decline... But at the same time, more tender green leaves began to appear on the branches, symbolizing that the summer of this year is finally coming.

At this time, in this forest, a cold man with black hair and a little messy hair - Kiritsugu Emiya, was now in this forest without a sea of ​​flowers, and was now taking time to meet his wife Alice Phil.

Because now, there are no little guys coming out to make trouble, so that they can talk quietly and not be disturbed.

"Kiritsu, it's so strange today. Don't you have to secretly observe the Holy Grail War anymore?"

Alice Phil herself was also very curious about her husband's sudden arrival.

She never expected that the other party would choose to come to find her at this time. You must know that at this time, the "Holy Grail War" on the first day outside should begin soon. Is it really okay if he doesn't go to observe secretly? According to the plan, the other party must observe the Holy Grail War throughout the process and then report to the head of the family when he goes back.

"No need today. I have sent an assistant to observe from a distance."

Emiya Kiritsugu had already sent him to trust Yuu Yuya to observe the contestants with equipment from a distance. As for Ilia's safety, he was completely relieved now and did not think that anyone could threaten the little guys by the old man and the little girl named Anne.

Furthermore, if there is any danger or other accident, his assistant will definitely notify him as soon as possible. This place is so close to the venue outside, he can rush over at any time.

So, it was actually important that he came here to find his wife Aili today.

"Is that true?"

Alice Phil also knew something about her husband's experience, of course, including a young female assistant who the other party trusted extremely! However, she was smart and virtuous and did not think about taking too much care of this matter. If the other party didn't want to say it, she wouldn't ask, because she believed him, that was enough.

“…”

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't say anything anymore, but stepped on a thick layer of petals, staring at the last buds that were about to fall on the branches and the new leaves that were pulling out from the branches, dazed in a daze.

He is organizing language and intending to speak out some of his decisions.

"Ali..."

After a long time, Kiritsugu Emiya finally figured out something, and suddenly turned his head, as if he had made up some decision, and looked at his wife intently.

Although he didn't know if the other party would agree, he had been holding on to some things for several years. Now, he felt that it should be the right time and it was time to make a decision.

"What's wrong, Kiritsugu?"

Of course, Alice Phil could tell that the other person's expression was a little bit wrong, and the expression in his eyes seemed to be a little too serious, so he couldn't help but be surprised.

She vaguely knew that the other party must have something very important to tell her, so she came to find herself today?

"Ali..."

"Have you ever thought that in the future... our family will never return to the Einzberen Castle?"

After breathing slowly and being silent for a while, Kiritsugu Emiya slowly asked his beloved wife in a low tone with a hint of tremolo. He had actually wanted to do this for a long time, but he had never had the right opportunity.

"ah!!"

"Kietsugu, you... can you tell me why?"

Alice Phil felt a slight shock. Although she was also very shocked, she did not scream or acted too frightened. Although she didn't know why the other party had such dangerous thoughts, she quickly calmed down and took the other party's right hand two steps forward and asked in a low voice.

She could have felt her husband Kiritsushi didn't like the Einzberen family, which could be seen from the deep self-blame of Elia when she was born, but... if she left the Einzberen family, it would be very dangerous if she had not thought about it carefully!

"because……"

"I don't like you and Ilia being hurt and transformed by those guys, those artificial guys in Einzberen Castle who do whatever they can to achieve their goals!"

Emiya Kiritsugu held his wife's hand tightly, then covered his left hand, making the two of them clasp their hands tightly together.

"I hope you can live well, just like in the past half month...I hope you and Ilia can live as normal people, rather than being a tool and fighting for that damn Holy Grail!"

"In any case, I don't want you both to be hurt in any way, nor do I want you to bear something that shouldn't belong to you..."

Emiya Kiritsugu stared at the eyes of his wife Alice Phil, then let go of the other party's hand, and instead grabbed the other party's shoulders.

He didn't want his beloved wife and daughter to bear that cruel fate. He could not bear the transformation of Einzberen's family when Ilia was not born yet! What did they think that his daughter of Kiritsugu Emiya was? Could it be that they could change and bully them wantonly?

Thinking about the Einzberen family in the Winter Forest, a hint of resentment and helplessness flashed in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes... If he hadn't been unable to do so, maybe he would have left with his wife and daughter long ago?

The Einzberen family, the famous magician who is very good at alchemy, and the existence of one of the three families who built the Holy Grail War system in Touki City, is just a group of cruel and ruthless madmen living in the asylum!

Over the years, what Emiya Kiritsugu found out from his investigation and personal contact and observation, in fact, the head of the Einzberen family, all of them were artificial humans made by the disciples of the Third Magician hundreds of years ago. Even after countless years, after the producers left one after another, those artificial humans were still stubbornly still working to realize the producer's unattainable ideal...

The purpose of their guys is actually to activate the Great Holy Grail, use its power to fix the hole that goes to the "root" and reach the "that side"... And the method used for this is the "third magic" circulated by the Einzberen family. The magic that is said to be able to achieve complete immortality will be obtained by the materialization of the soul when it is completed?

In fact, the castle of the Einzberen family was originally just a workshop built for the disciples of the magic envoy who realized the third magic. Even the founders, no matter how hard they tried to recreate the miracle of the master, ended in failure...

Even when they accidentally created the "Saint of Winter" Yustisa, the same individual as the master made as the alternative, wanted to recreate the magic from that individual, but because of accident, no matter how hard the magicians tried, they could not create a man-made man of the same level as them again.

So, hundreds of years later, the magicians had to succumb to reality, some left the castle, and some ended their lives in despair.

So, the man-made people left behind the castle of Einzberen were abandoned by the creators, but their purely conscientious ideas, the factory built for the relief of mankind and the reappearance of miracles, continued to operate, and this is the so-called Einzberen family!

Since then, the artificial humans made by Einzberen have begun to crazily create artificial humans based on Yustisa...

And his wife of Kiritsugu Emiya, Alice Fier von Einzberen, is an artificial human! At the same time, she is also one of the artificial humans refined by Yustisa Rizlei von Einzberen as her original form, and is also a miserable tool that determines its purpose from birth - the movable holy grail!

Of course, this even includes his daughter Ilia...

These things are cruel facts that he used to use the chaos caused by the recent great turmoil in the magic world, and summarized the information stolen from the declining Maki family in the past half a month.

In short, Emiya Kiritsugu would never allow his wife and daughter to become tools of the Einzberen family and to exist as a holy grail that everyone competes for, absolutely not!

He absolutely did not want to see his wife, and his daughter Ilia, like the dead "Saint of Winter", Yustisa, were all living magic circuits created to become the core of the Great Holy Grail and sacrificed!

The reason why he was able to make Kiritsuguchi of Emiya make up his mind was precisely because, in the past half month, he saw that his daughter Ilia was finally able to live the life that a normal little girl should have, like others, like the little girls in the Tosaka family and the Edfelt family... instead of just being treated as a tool, a part, and a sacrifice waiting to be sacrificed at any time, just like in the Castle of Einzberen!

What made Kiritsugu Emiya even more angry was that the information showed that the so-called Holy Grail War was just a huge conspiracy triggered by the three families to achieve their respective goals!

Fortunately, now, Tosaka Tosaka Toshiko, the head of the Tosaka family, has disappeared, and it can be said that he is dead. The Tosaka mansion was also burned down by a fire, and the magic inheritance was cut off. Even the two Tosaka daughters have turned to learn something else. As for the Maki family, let alone... The Maki Dirty Ink is said to have been killed by the summoned servants, and it is said that he still died miserably? The current head of the family, Maki Tsuno, is a guy with no magic circuit, just caring about enjoyment! And Maki Yanye, who has a magic circuit, does not like magic at all. From this, it can be seen that the decline of the Maki family is only within one or two generations, and there will be no change.

And the only remaining Einzberen family, with them, could never stand up for the Holy Grail War. He, Kiritsugu, also vaguely had a way to deal with them, if they wanted to stop him from ruining all this.

“…”

"Kiritsu, I'm glad you can think about us, but... this may be useless. As long as the Holy Grail War continues, we can't escape..."

Alice Phil looked at her husband with some emotion for a while, and then she had to lower her head sadly. She understood the other party's thoughts and knew her daughter's situation, but... there were some things that they could not resist with their own abilities.

Whether it is her or her daughter, they are actually closely linked to the Holy Grail War. This is their fate, and they cannot be broken or escaped.

"I can do it as long as you want!"

"Please be sure to believe me, Ari, I can do it, I promise!"

Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath, then hugged the other person tightly.

“…”

"Kiritsu, just do whatever you want. We are a family now, aren't we? So, no matter what happens in the end, Ilia and I will endure it with you!"

"I understand...thank you, Aili!"

"I thank you too, Kiritsugu..."

...

———

(Report to the little master, the little one found it in the back mountain, on your territory, it seems that there is a dog man and a woman dating?

——When the first competition of the Holy Grail War entered the preparation stage, Tibers suddenly made a report to his little master.)

‘Shut up! Tibers!’

Now Annie has no time to care about her bear, nor does she have time to care about any dogs and men. She has more important things now, that is, to host the first day of the fourth Holy Grail War!

"Have you got your number?"

"Then you should quickly take the seat and replace your servant figures with one of the chess pieces! Don't worry, except for yourself, no one can see which flag you have replaced your servants with!"

"Then...you guys will start with me soon, so I don't have time to waste time with you here!"

(??????)

Not long after, just a short while, after Anne explained the rules and impatient reprimands, the results of the lottery draw for the first Holy Grail War of today were soon out, and the matches were grouped:

Group 1: Tosaka Sakura—vs—Makiriya Night

Group 2: Ilia-vs-Kenneth

Group 3: Rin Tosaka-vs-Ryuki Ryunosuke

Group 4: Luvia - vs - Weber

Although the combination is a little bit strange, because it was the number they drew, no one thought too much about it in the future.

"Very good, very good, this game is fair!"

"Annie... your magic is very interesting, and you can see the big ones with a small eye... Just this powerful and exquisite use of magic is something I can't compare to..."

"Although I will also make some gem magic outfits with wisdom, such a simple clay man has this effect, which I would never imagine anyway."

After reaching out and picking up a chess piece, after looking closer for a while, Jewel Ongishuya nodded with emotion, agreeing very much with the competition and rules.

He thinks this competition is really good!

Moreover, both sides participate in and interact with each other, which is very good! I think the purpose of this game should be to fight wits but not to fight. That little guy didn't just want to mess around like he had worried before, and he was just as he had been worried before.

"That's right, there is definitely no way to cheat in chess. This is a consideration of mind and wisdom, and this is indeed very fair!"
