"Here! Who was it so early..." He rang the doorbell bell next to the door, and a response rang out soon after. With the sound of footsteps from far to near, the other party's voice became clearer and clearer. Finally, until the gate of the yard was opened, a child who looked a little too pure but energetic appeared in front of Ye Yu.

"That... are you?" I originally thought that the woman who came to Okawa was a teacher and sister to him, but I didn't expect that the one who appeared in front of me was a young man with rare golden hair. However, his temperament was a bit difficult to tell his age. Shirou asked himself that he would never forget it after seeing it once, but he had never existed in his impression, which means that the other party was someone he didn't know?

Then the possibility that the other party had found the wrong place was the first to occupy the young man's mind. As for Kiritsugu's friend... Shirou had not not guessed this way, but thinking of Kiritsugu never contacted anyone after he lived with him, and even went out in a few times, he immediately let him dispel such speculation. In addition, if it was Kiritsugu's friend, then Ye Yu's age would be a bit too young. After all, how old was he ten years ago?

"Ye Yu," he reported his name lightly. Ye Yu did not look at the back of the door politely, but instead looked at Shirou in front of him, he picked up the souvenir in his hand and continued, "Will Kiritsugu say that at home? I'm here to visit him today..."

"Eh?" Shirou was stunned for a moment, but he soon realized his mistreatment and apologized while letting Ye Yu in at the door... Strangely, he did not realize at all that he had no doubt about Ye Yu's words. Even if he was used to trusting others, he would do so like now...

Ye Yu had no intention of saying anything to the young man. After nodding at him with a smile in response, he walked straight to the main house... The curse imposed on Kiritsushi has not been lifted until today. It is not too easy to find Kiritsushi with the breath of the curse.

Even in the room with thick curtains during the day, almost all the light was blocked. Otherwise, even a man like Kiritsugu who had lost his heart would have completely lost his mind. The curse that could never be lifted and the resentment that could never be relieved has been tortured deeply for the past ten years, so that when Ye Yu saw him at first sight, he almost couldn't recognize him...

If you describe Yan Ye ten years later, you need to use the word decadence, then the only words that belong to Kiritsugu will be left... words like withered or stagnant.

"Emiya... Kiritsugu? Long time no see, it seems that you have been in a bad life in the past few years..." Without waiting for Kiritsugu as the master to greet him, Ye Yu sat on the ground opposite him. Since he entered the house, Shirou retreated first. Although he was in awe of this adoptive father who raised him, this kind of introvert who always hides in the house alone is destined to be difficult for Kiritsugu to be close to Shirou... But if he exists only as the heir of the concept, it would not be necessary to have these or not.

"...Is it you?" This was a bit of a surprise to Kiritsugu. He had already made up his mind to slowly decay in this place alone, and he had nothing to worry about Shirou. His only wish to support him in recent years has been achieved. Then even if he died in obscurity like a dead grass that can be seen everywhere, it would be fine.

However, when the curse appeared on the back of his hand again, Kiritsugu suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason. The Holy Grail that once gave him all hope has now become a nightmare that he will always dream of. Such a gap... But when Kiritsugu covered his eyes and raised his head to laugh, he sarcastically discovered that he could not even laugh at some point.

"Is it surprising to see me?" Ye Yu stared at the man who was wrapped in a blanket in a corner of the room. Compared to his confidence as a cold-blooded killer ten years ago, this man no longer had the energy he had back then. The cruelty of reality had long wiped out all his ambitions and hopes... But this is not what Ye Yu wanted to see.

So while speaking, Ye Yu did not forget to show the spell on the back of his hand to Kiritsugu, "Unlike the last time, I participated in this Holy Grail War as a party involved in the war~~"

"Then... what does it have to do with me?" If someone else had said that at this time, I might have been considering how to form an alliance with Ye Yu, or how to get the best interests from him, but Kiritsugu still asked indifferently, "Is the Holy Grail War a thing... any meaning to a useless person like me?"

"It's true... Whether physically or spiritually, I think if it weren't for Yuya and the child I just met as your support in the past few years, you would have turned into a pile of bones." Ye Yu shrugged his shoulders without denying it at all, but this level of irony could not have made Kiritsugu Emiya feel any interest. He was not disappointed in this and just continued to say,

"But wouldn't it be too boring if the Holy Grail War was not yours?" He narrowed his eyes slightly. Even Ye Yu couldn't help but start to fall into memories. Compared with the love between children in the fifth Holy Grail War, the Fourth Holy Grail War can be called a real multi-party battle. It is far beyond the top score in terms of strength and energy. This is also the main reason why Ye Yu planned to invite Kiritsushi to join the game. As he said, the Holy Grail War without Kiritsushi was too boring.

"Besides, the mode of the Holy Grail War is very different from what you know. Maybe you will really have a chance to beat me." Ye Yu, who had already made up his mind to play a unique Holy Grail War, naturally planned everything long ago, so he revealed something to Kiritsugu in advance, and it was nothing. "What's more, don't you want to resurrect Alicefil? Also, this time the Einzberen family will definitely send someone here. As for that person... Ilyasfer von Einzberen, I don't know if you have any impression of this name~~"

"What did you say?" Sure enough, after hearing the news about his wife and daughter, Kiritsugu finally stopped calming himself. He stood up from the ground all at once and let Ye Yu feel the remaining courage of the rabies that he had not seen for a long time.

"I didn't lie to you. Although Alice Phil is dead, her soul has been kept in the Holy Grail. I think if you win this Holy Grail War, it should be no big problem to make a wish to the Holy Grail to reshape her a body~~" Ye Yu smiled slightly at Kiritsugu who rekindled his fighting spirit. This is right, it's not interesting to always bully children, "I will help you temporarily remove the curse, so next... I'll do my best to let me enjoy this rare war~~"
