"Huh?" Kiritsugu looked at Saber and Maiya who were in a daze and couldn't help but sigh. This expression was the same as his own expression when Ash handed this thing to him and told himself that this was Irisviel's soul...

What is this... the third method that the Yusan family has been searching for so hard, you, a guy like you, can easily do it? Then why fight the Holy Grail War? Wouldn’t it be over if you just come to the door one by one to become apprentices?

Kiritsugu didn't believe it at first, but after the ashes awakened the soul crystal in a short time, he did see Irisviel, otherwise he wouldn't believe it, but... this is the fact, and Kiritsugu can't tolerate disbelief...

"This is Irisviel's soul... Didn't Ashes tell you before? As the Holy Grail War progresses, Irisviel will become a victim of the Holy Grail sooner or later. I also talked about this issue with him later, and then

...He gave me this answer..." After that, Kiritsugu helplessly pointed to the crystals on the table and explained to Maiya and Saber...

"But...what should I do with Irisviel's body? I can't just keep it in this state..." Saber carefully touched Irisviel's soul crystal, and then asked Kiritsugu.

"What do you think represents Eri more? The soul or her android body?" Kiritsugu asked Saber in turn.

Saber replied without thinking, "Of course it's Irisviel's soul, but...it can't just be the soul..."

Kiritsugu nodded and said, "I think so too. When it comes to choosing between the soul and the body, the soul is the most important. As for the body... as long as the Einzbern family makes another empty body, it will be fine."

…What’s so difficult about this…”

At this point, Kiritsugu suddenly stopped and frowned. This expression made Saber across from him feel a little uneasy. He asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"

Kiritsugu gently held up the soul crystal in his hand and said calmly, "No... we can't let the Einzbern family know about Irisviel's current state... absolutely not!"

Under Saber's curious eyes, Maiya explained, "The Einzbern are a pure magic family, and their pursuit of magic has reached a fanatical level... Although most magicians are also fanatical, so in order to reach the root of

, to achieve the third method, they can sacrifice everything, not to mention the wife who has long been defined as sacrificed by them..."

Maimi paused, and said with an ugly face, "So, once they learn that Madam's soul has reached the third state through the hands of ashes, that is, the soul has become substantial...not to mention whether they will prepare another one for Madam.

Now that she has a body, the biggest question is whether they will use Madam’s soul for research..."

Maiya's words made Kiritsugu frown even more... and his face became even more ugly. Saber thought about it and asked hesitantly, "Then... let's ask Ashes if there is any good way..."

Kiritsugu shook his head gently and said, "I asked... His solution is to find someone to kill her soul without harming her body, and then put Irisviel's soul inside."

…”

Saber frowned when he heard this and asked, "You guys, you won't agree!"

Kiritsugu shook his head gently and sighed, "How could it be possible? If I agreed, would Ellie be in this state at this time? Let's not say whether I would accept it or not. Even if it was Ellie...she wouldn't agree.

…”

"Is there no other way?" Saber slumped on her seat like a deflated rubber ball, secretly regretting why she didn't pester Merlin to learn some magic in the first place. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so powerless.

Already…

"Holy Grail! Yes, we can make a wish to the Holy Grail and let Irisviel recover!" Saber suddenly seemed to have thought of a good idea, straightened up and looked at Kiritsugu and said.

After hearing this, Kiritsugu shook his head slightly, looked at Saber like a fool and said, "Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Irisviel died for the Holy Grail, but we used the wish of the Holy Grail to resurrect Ellie.

...Are you talking without thinking?"

"It seems that I still have to ask Ashes for help... Otherwise, I really have no choice..." Kiritsugu sighed deeply, feeling powerless. There were still many things that he couldn't do. Just like now, he couldn't do anything at all.

You can't save your lover.

Kiritsugu remembered what Ashes had said to him, 'How can we save the world if we can't even save ourselves and the people around us?' Thinking of this, Kiritsugu couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

These words are spoken by a true savior. He has always lived in his great ideals, in order to save the world and become a partner of justice...

But now, Kiritsugu was a little shaken. He really wanted to make a wish to the Holy Grail, revive Irisviel, take his wife and children, find a quiet place, and spend the rest of his life... That would be great.

…

…

"Goodbye, come play often. Come on, Sakura, say goodbye to mommy." Outside the Matou family's mansion, Ash held Sakura in his arms and waved goodbye to Tosaka Aoi, who was about to leave. Sakura in her arms heard it.

Hui Jing also waved his hands timidly, but still said nothing.

Seeing this scene, Tohsaka Aoi, who was about to leave, almost shed tears again... Her daughter was so alienated from her... It showed what this child had suffered before, and it showed how much this child resented him for having killed her with his own hands.

The mother pushed into the abyss...

Tohsaka Aoi held back her tears, smiled tenderly at Sakura, and then bowed deeply to Ashes. Kariya had already told her that it was this man named Ashes who saved Sakura and Kariya

, it was he who saved his eldest daughter before... what a great benefactor.

As for why Kariya didn't see Tohsaka Aoi off at the door? There's no need to ask! Of course it was to drive her back in person! Hui Jin felt that this guy was duplicitous, and looked at Kariya like a scumbag all morning.

Yan Ye was ready to strangle his heart...

If he hadn't considered that he was his benefactor, and that he and Lancelot together might not be enough for him to hit with one hand, Kariya would have probably thrown a cup into the ring and killed the unscrupulous Ashes in the middle of the night.

What a bastard...

In the car in the early morning, Kariya took Tohsaka Aoi back to her hometown. He also met her eldest daughter. She was indeed an outstanding child. No wonder Tokiomi liked this child so much...

When Kariya returned home, he saw Lancelot looking at the ashes spread out on the sofa with a serious look on his face. He couldn't help but curiously asked, "What's wrong, Lancelot, does this guy have a bad mouth about you again... Really?"

, Mr. Ashes, you are obviously such a nice person, but why are you so poisonous?"

Lancelot saw Yan Ye coming back. After nodding in greeting, he shook his head and said to Yan Ye, "No, Mr. Ashes asked me a very serious question. I was just thinking about the problem..."

"Oh? The question he asked was very serious? It's really rare... If you don't mind telling me, maybe you are also a fan of the authorities..." Yan Ye raised eyebrows, looked at Hui Jing pretending to be shocked, and then smiled at him

Lancelot proposed.

Upon hearing this, Lancelot nodded and sighed, "That's it, Mr. Ashes asked me... There must be a battle between me and Saber, King Arthur, and asked me if I am going to kill King Arthur or be killed by King Arthur."

, that’s the problem... He also said that this issue can be decided unilaterally by me. As long as I decide, I will definitely be able to solve it, whether it is killing my king or being killed by my king..."

"Ah, that's the question. Isn't this your wish? To be killed by King Arthur and atone for your sins from her. You don't need anyone to help you with this wish. You can solve it yourself, so why are you struggling?" Kariya asked curiously.

road.

"Ah, about this, I regained my senses before and knew that Saber was my king. That was my plan. I just went up and died, but..."

Having said this, Lancelot paused and looked a little ugly, then sighed and continued.

"However, after I learned about my king's wish and the truth about the Holy Grail, I hesitated... After all, as a minister, even a rebellious minister, I still don't want my king to go on the wrong road, and there is still a deep road ahead.
