Chapter 30: Kiritsugu's Plan and Ellie's Choice

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Illya suddenly thought of a certain existence, turned around and gave instructions to Saber and Lancer.

"Saber, Lancer, please be on guard. I'm afraid that Berserker will come and disrupt the situation. That guy doesn't have enough sense to distinguish between friends and foes. And if he goes crazy, unless his master uses the command spell, otherwise

It can't be stopped without beating him down."

"Okay, I know!"

"clear!"

The two people who had seen Berserker's madness understood the meaning of Illya's words and nodded directly to express their understanding.

"Especially you, Saber, you need to be more careful!"

"Why do I?"

Saber was very puzzled that Illya called her name.

"That berserker definitely has something to do with you! I think you can feel it, right?"

"...Yes, I always have a familiar feeling about him."

"So you have to be more careful. If you appear in Berserker's sight, then you will definitely become his first target. Now you are a little reluctant to deal with him. When the time comes, don't blame me for fighting two against one...

"

"Yes, I understand. Thank you holy."

For Illya's somewhat unfrank concern, Saber expressed her gratitude as seriously as ever.

"Hmph! Don't misunderstand me! I..."

Facing Saber's straightforward attitude, Illya suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Just when she was about to become arrogant again, an untimely light electronic sound was inserted.

When everyone looked towards the source of the sound, they only saw Irisviel hurriedly taking something out of her pocket.

That was a mobile phone - this mobile phone was given to Irisviel by Kiritsugu just in case. It goes without saying who called. But according to the predetermined principle, it will not be used for contact.

.

Although the situation at the scene was no longer as urgent as in the original work, Irisviel was still a little anxious about the progress of the matter, so she still couldn't remember the usage that she should have memorized by heart just like in the original work.

Method.

In this way, Irisviel looked at Illya at a loss.

"Little Ilia, how do you use this?"

'Irisviel, how stupid are you?'

Ilia felt a little speechless and asked the sky. She really didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky to have such a master.

Illya was the first to open Illya's heart, and once again brought the warmth of humanity to her who had begun to freeze her heart. This is where Illya feels lucky, but what she feels is unfortunate is that Illya

Illya had experienced several episodes of natural stupidity and the helpless embarrassment in front of Irisviel several times.

So Illya decided to play a little trick on Irisviel.

"...I can't move now. Ask Weber! As a truly modern person, he will definitely know."

"oh!"

Irisviel believed Illya's nonsense and ran to ask Waver.

'...Irisviel, you are actually stunned again...Although I can't move, I can still tell you with my mouth!'

If she could move, Illya would definitely assume that classic OTL pose at this moment.

"Um, may I ask - how to use this?"

Weber looked at Irisviel's somewhat nonsensical behavior speechlessly. For some reason, an unknown anger suddenly burst out in his heart at this time, and he directly picked up the ringing mobile phone from Irisviel's phone.

He grabbed it in his hand, pressed the answer button and put it to his ear.

"...Is it Ellie?"

Emiya Kiritsugu's deep voice sounded on the other end of the phone, and Weber panicked. He would have just pressed the answer button and returned it to the owner, but he picked it up on a whim.

"No, I am not……"

"Hmm? - That's it. You are Rider's master, right? Just in time, I also have something to say to you."

At this moment, Illya suddenly shouted to Weber:

"Hey! Brat! Give me your phone! I'm not calling you. Why are you babbling there?"

"Oh, oh...but..."

Because Emiya Kiritsugu had just said on the phone that he wanted to see him for something, so Weber seemed a little squeaky.

"Stop talking nonsense! Give it to me! Be careful, I'll give you a slap in the face!"

"Okay, okay!"

Facing the vicious Illya, Weber chose to surrender. Because Illya said he would give him a slap in the face, how could a human beat a Servant? If he had to surrender then, it would be better to surrender now. After all, it was still

You can get beaten less often.

"Hug, I'm sorry, someone is looking for you..."

After saying sorry into the phone, Weber carefully handed the phone to Ilia.

However, Illya didn't even look at Weber who obediently handed over his phone, and directly turned his attention to Irisviel.

"Irisviel, help me, put the phone to my ear."

"Well? Little Illya, do you have something to say to Kiritsugu?"

Hearing this, Irisviel took the mobile phone from Weber's hand and asked Illya.

"Well, I have something to say to him... Brat, go, go, go away. Don't even think about eavesdropping!"

After driving Webb far away, Lancer also consciously walked far away.

At this time, Illya's expression became a little serious, because when she thought that the call should be from Emiya Kiritsugu, Illya thought that Emiya Kiritsugu was definitely having some "dirty idea" and thought

It must be realized through this phone call. That's why Illya threatened Weber to hand over the phone. The "variables" must always be controlled in one's own hands.

"It's me, holy."

"Holy? That's okay. Let me ask you, was Rider the one who made Caster disappear?"

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't care that the previous conversation with Weber was interrupted, and went straight to the topic.

"Yes."

"Then let me ask you, how much do you know about Rider's inherent barrier? When Rider releases its inherent barrier, can you let the things inside fall to the designated place?"

"Oh! That's okay."

"real?"

"Well, I analyzed Rider's inherent barrier last night. But once again, the control over the outside lies in Rider's hands."

"Is there any way to contact Rider?"

"Well, it's okay. Rider has left a message for the soldiers to come down."

"I understand. I will launch the signal flare later. You ask the rider to release the caster directly below the signal. Is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem, but what's the point?"

"...You don't have to worry about it so much. Just help me tell the Lancers present. Just tell Saber that she has an anti-fortress treasure in her left hand."

Having said this, Illya finally figured out Emiya Kiritsugu's "ghost idea".

"Did you..."

"Okay, just do as I say!"

Emiya Kiritsugu directly interrupted Illya's words, and after saying the last sentence, he simply hung up the phone, leaving only the busy tone ringing empty.

"...Irisviel, you must have heard it, right? You must also understand his purpose, right?"

After a moment of silence, Illya asked Irisviel, who was also silent next to her.

"kindness."

Irisviel nodded and responded quietly.

"Then, I leave it to you to decide whether to support Kiritsugu's plan or not. If you decide to support it, then I will fail on purpose later and then tell Lancer about it and ask him to self-destruct the Noble Phantasm to unblock Saber.

's left hand."

"..."

"If you choose not to support it, then I will kill Caster directly at that time. No matter what your choice is, I will listen to you. Because only you are my master."

After hearing what Illya said, Irisviel seemed to be in a dilemma.

"Hey! Little Illya, do you think what I did is right? Whether I support Kiritsugu's plan or not..."

"Well, Irisviel actually doesn't have to worry so much. All you have to do is express the choice you want most in your heart! You will know it later, won't you?"

Illya decided to give the right of choice to Irisviel, because Irisviel is the center of the problem, and all the results are connected to Irisviel. The only difference is the process.

Finally, Irisviel figured it out and solemnly gave her order to Illya.

"...Well, I understand, little Ilia. I order you to kill Caster directly."

"As you command! mymaster!"

――――Plot division――――

Finally, let me explain why Emiya Kiritsugu did not see that Illya and the others had a plan to fight the enemy.

First of all, the sacred-shackle (sacred shackle), which is nearly 5 meters high, is very huge, especially for the petite Ilia. Ilia can be completely covered without even shrinking.

Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was on the boat downstream of the river, could not observe Illya's actions at all.

Furthermore, Emiya Kiritsugu, who is not a regular magician, does not know how to judge the nature of magic from the fluctuation of magic power. He has always relied on thermal sensors to judge the nature of magic, but at that time, that

In the chaotic situation, he did not use the heat sensor. Therefore, he did not find that Illya was preparing a large-scale offensive magic - magic-cohere-gun (magic convergence gun).

In addition, the magic power cannon did not condense the magic power too quickly and emit a destructive aura around it like the one Emiya Kiritsugu had seen before.

To sum up, Emiya Kiritsugu came up with his plan completely without knowing anything about it.

However, even if Emiya Kiritsugu knew about Illya's plan to fight against the enemy at that time, for strategic reasons, Emiya Kiritsugu would definitely ask Illya to fail deliberately, so that Lancer, who advocates chivalry, could destroy Caster.

, and willingly used the Self-Destruction Noble Phantasm to unseal Saber's left hand.

A self-destructing shot will make the Lancer easier to deal with.
