After an unknown amount of time passed, in the Throne of Heroes, which had no concept of time, the silence that had lasted was broken by the synthetic female voice of origin-logic that sounded again.
"Master! The search mission is over. A wave of the summoning spell was found. Do you want to continue the locking and transfer process of the summoned object?"
After the origin-logic inquiry rang out for half a minute, Illya, who was sitting on the Cross Throne, slowly opened her eyes. After condensing her eyes that had become a little distracted due to not using them for a long time,
He turned to look at the floating origin-logic and said:
"Don't rush me. Tell me how long it has been since the beginning of the search. Just be accurate to the hour! After all, I can't feel the passage of time when I'm doing soul fusion. Then help me according to this
At the first use, estimate the time required for the remaining parts to fuse."
"Realize! Master! This search took a total of 2023 hours. Master's soul fusion took a total of 2024 hours. The fusion progress increased from 72.96% to 92.28%, and the remaining 7.72% is expected to take 386 hours. Repeat, this search..."
Origin-Logic mechanically responded to Ilia's request and repeated it.
"Is it going to take more than 16 days? That's fine, I don't want that 'Holy Grail' anyway, it's enough to have the ability to protect myself. Then, Origin-Logic starts preparing to lock and transfer the summoned object!
"
After knowing the remaining time, Illya signaled origin-logic to proceed to the next step.
"Realize! Master! The locking transfer program begins! ... The locking technique is stripped off successfully, and the attachment to the master begins. ... The attachment of the locking technique is completed, master! Do you respond to the summoning request?"
With the operation of origin-logic, a summoned magic circle gradually appeared at Ilia's feet. But only then did she think of a serious problem.
"That's right! Origin-Logic (origin logic) What will happen if I am killed in the Holy Grail War? Will I be thrown back to the Throne of Heroes? Or will I really die like this?"
"Master! You cannot be killed. Any part of your body can be regenerated using magic power. Even if Master's entire body is destroyed, you can absorb enough magic power from the world and then regenerate your body.
Constructed. Although Master is regarded as a heroic spirit by this world, he has not signed a contract with Alaya and Gaia, so he does not have to abide by the rules of heroic spirits returning to the Throne of Heroic Spirits after death."
Origin-Logic's answer left Ilia speechless for a while. It took her a while to come back to her senses, and she said helplessly to Origin-Logic:
"Okay! Looks like I just made an immortal monster! Well, forget it, origin-logic responded to the summoning request!"
"Realize! Master! The summoning request is passed, and the summoning transmission begins..."
Then the magic circle at Ilia's feet emitted a strong flash of light.

In Einzbern Castle in the present world, Kiritsugu Emiya is checking the completion of the magic circle painted on the floor of the chapel.
"Doesn't even such a simple ritual matter?"
From the perspective of Irisviel, who had been guarding her, the preparations seemed a bit too simple and a bit unexpected.
"Perhaps you will be disappointed, but the summoning of a servant does not require such a grand spirit seance ceremony."
Emiya Kiritsugu explained while carefully checking whether the pattern drawn with mercury was distorted or mottled.
"Because what actually summons the Servant is not the power of the magician, but the power of the Holy Grail. As a master, I only serve as a link between the heroic spirit and this world, and then provide him with the magic power to materialize in this world."
.”
As if he was satisfied with the completion of the magic circle, Emiya Kiritsugu nodded and stood up. On the altar was a holy relic, the scabbard of the legendary holy sword.
"In this case, the preparation is complete."
Standing in the center of the magic circle with some hesitation, Emiya Kiritsugu sighed slightly.
"Kiritsugu, are you still hesitating..."
Irisviel looked at Emiya Kiritsugu calmly and said in a low voice.
"how can that be possible……"
After shaking his head slightly, Emiya Kiritsugu frowned and said:
"If there is such a perfect holy relic, the heroic spirit summoned must be the one we want. But the personality contrast between him and me as the master is too big..."
"You're still uneasy about your contract with the 'King of Knights', right?"
Irisviel lowered her head slightly and said slowly.
"Of course. There are probably not many men like me who run counter to chivalry. Fighting openly and honestly is not my style. Especially when fighting to the death. If you attack, you should attack from behind or while the enemy is sleeping.
, you don’t have to choose the time and place in order to destroy the enemy more efficiently... Do you think that noble knight will accompany me in such a battle?"
Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly said with some self-deprecation.
Irisviel was silent, staring closely at the shining golden scabbard:
"Indeed...but don't you think it's a pity? As the owner of the 'Sword of Victory of the Oath', there is no doubt that he is the most powerful ace in the Saber class."
"That's true. 'Saber' is originally the highest level among the seven classes summoned by the Holy Grail. And if this Knight King is allowed to occupy this position... I will be equivalent to getting an invincible Servant. But the key is how to use this effectively.
The question of the strongest combat power. To be honest, from the perspective of ease of manipulation, 'caster' and 'assassin' are more in line with my personality."
Emiya Kiritsugu nodded slightly and said in a heavy tone.
"Forget it, let's forget about it for now... we don't have enough time! We still have to take a flight to Fuyuki, so let's start the summons quickly."
After looking at the clock hanging on the wall, Irisviel smiled and said to Emiya Kiritsugu, with a hint of excitement in her tone.
Nodding, Emiya Kiritsugu firmly closed his eyes and said calmly:
"Declaration -
You are under my command
My destiny gives you the sword
If you follow the destination of the Holy Grail
Those who follow this will and this way, respond and swear by this
I am the one who has accomplished all the good deeds in the world
I am the one who spreads all the evil in the world
Seven days of three great words that surround you
Come on the wheel of restraint
Guardian of the Scales!!!”
On that day, in different lands, the chanting of incantations for different objects was carried out almost at the same time. This was such a coincidence that it could no longer be called a coincidence.
No matter which magician they are, their long-cherished wish is the same.
People gathered around a miracle, and in order to obtain this miracle, people killed each other bloody. Their calls to the heroes on the other side of time and space are now ringing out simultaneously across the earth.
In this way, their long-cherished wish finally reached them.
Coming from the other side, coming here, whirlwind and lightning wrap around the legendary phantom.
He was originally a human but has escaped from the realm of humans. He was promoted to the genus of elves with inhuman divine power. The place where extraordinary primates gather... from the throne of suppressed divine power, the heroic spirits woven by countless people's dreams,
At the same time, they descended on the earth.
Then……
In the forest at night, on the stone bench surrounded by darkness, someone said with a cold voice.
"May I ask, are you the master who summoned me?"
Emiya Kiritsugu's face was very gloomy now, and he looked at the girl wearing a battle skirt who appeared in the magic circle with an indifferent expression.
Irisviel curiously walked to Emiya Kiritsugu's side, smiled softly and said:
"Kiritsugu, is this the King of Knights? I didn't expect that the King of Knights would be such a cute girl!"
Emiya Kiritsugu said nothing, looking coldly at the girl in the formation.
Irisviel noticed that the girl who appeared in the magic circle was puzzled by Emiya Kiritsugu's coldness, and chuckled, recalling what had just happened.
The moment Emiya Kiritsugu finished reciting the incantation, the magic circle burst out with countless brilliance, and Saber slowly appeared in the center of the magic circle.
Although her style is full of sassy majesty, in fact, Saber's appearance is just that of a girl about fifteen years old. When she appeared from the shining summoning circle, Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel who were performing the ceremony were stunned.
.
Who in future generations would have thought that the owner of the golden scabbard unearthed from Cornwall, the hero king Arthur Pendragon who was the only user of the holy sword Excalibur, was actually a young girl in her prime.
Emiya Kiritsugu stepped forward, glanced at Saber with a frown, reached out and picked up the golden scabbard in the center of the altar.
At this time, the door of the chapel suddenly opened, and a little girl of three or four years old ran and jumped to Irisviel's side. She curiously looked at Saber in the magic circle, and tugged on the corner of Irisviel's clothes:
"Mom, who is that sister?"
Emiya Kiritsugu walked over, holding a golden sword scabbard, looking at the little girl and said softly:
"Ilia, why are you here?"
Illyasviel pouted and said unhappily: "Because grandpa doesn't want to play with me, I came to see Kiritsugu!"
Turning her eyes, Illyasviel suddenly noticed the golden scabbard in Emiya Kiritsugu's hand. She found it very interesting, so she reached out and grabbed the scabbard.
Emiya Kiritsugu instinctively stepped back. Ilyasviel's fingers touched the end of the Cambridge, and pulled off a completely unreasonable gem at the end of the scabbard. The soft palm was cut open by the sharp edge of the scabbard.
The gems and blood fell to the edge of the magic circle that had not dissipated at the same time. Brilliant light suddenly burst out from the magic circle, endless magic swarmed in from all around, and the barrier around Einzbern City was instantly shattered.
