Alaya looked at the ashes helplessly, as if I had compromised, and stared at the ashes with his big shining eyes.

"Deal, if you dare to lie to me..." Hui Jin thought for a moment, frowned and warned Alaya.

"No, no, I will send the needed souls directly to you in a moment. Just avoid the sight of these people around you." Alaya waved his hand, let out a long breath, and finally put this evil spirit behind him.

Xing was comforted.

Ashes is now an existence that is temporarily recognized by the rules of this world. This is Alaya's own doing, so if Ashes is going to go on a killing spree, Alaya can only send out his guardians to stop it, and there is no other way.

But... although the guardians under him are very capable and powerful, and have guarded the world for countless years, countless times, they are really powerless when encountering such an out-of-standard existence.

Alaya was also forced into desperation. After Ashes felt that the fire-proof girl was being attacked and exuded the power of her salary king, Alaya began to think of a way. Apart from confronting him head-on, the only other option was this.

There is a way.

"Remember our agreement, Mr. Ashes, I will not break my promise, and I hope you will not break your promise." Alaya looked straight at Ashes, blinked, and said softly.

In the blink of an eye, Ashes, Alaya disappeared in front of his eyes, and the time around him resumed its flow. The power of the command spell wrapped around him still existed. He wanted to break free, but thinking of the agreement with Alaya, Ashes

He stopped struggling.

When Kiritsugu saw that his command spell had finally taken effect, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it wouldn't work.

Ashes stopped, turned around with the fireproof girl in his arms, looked at Kiritsugu and said calmly, "You made a wrong decision, Kiritsugu, you will pay the price for it, but... not now."

After threatening Kiritsugu, Ashes left the forest with the fireproof girl in his arms, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight, without knowing where he was going.

According to the constraints of the command spell, Ashes can't look for Kotomine Kirei for the time being. This is enough to stabilize him for the time being, but... what happened to Ashes' sudden change in the end.

Kiritsugu squeezed the bar and looked at the departing Ashes. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. After issuing his command spell, he felt that Ashes' anger had dissipated a lot. Logically speaking, this was impossible. He should have been even more angry.

yes…

Saber and Ellie watched Ashes leave the whole time, not knowing what to say. Although they knew that Ashes and Fireproof Girl were closely related, they never expected that Ashes would be so angry because of Fireproof Girl's death.

In the understanding of the two people, the summoned heroic spirits will only return to the Hall of Valor after being killed. After all, the servants are really consumables for this war, but this time the heroic spirits are all

Just weird.

"That's not right!" Kiritsugu suddenly raised his head and looked at Ashes' leaving figure with burning eyes, attracting everyone's attention. What was wrong? Did Kiritsugu discover something?

After feeling the curious eyes of several people around him, Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes and said to everyone, "Do you think there is anything wrong with the death of the fireproof girl?"

"No, what's the matter...wait a minute." Ellie looked at Kiritsugu curiously, but suddenly her eyes widened as if Kiritsugu reminded her of something.

"What's wrong, Ellie?" Saber was also a little curious. What did these two people find? They were both so surprised.

"Saber, you know, the summoned heroic spirits will return to the Hall of Valor after being defeated. In other words, they will not leave corpses..." Ellie turned her head and looked at Saber, feeling a little unbelievable.

She said.

Several people looked at each other, a little unbelievable. What is this? Does it mean that the fire prevention girl is not dead? But if the fire prevention girl is not dead, why is Ashes so angry? But if the fire prevention girl is dead, what happened to her body?

thing.

Kiritsugu looked deeply at the direction in which the ashes were leaving, and said lightly, "It seems that the secret of our mysterious and powerful servant is much greater than I imagined."

…

Late at night, everyone who was tired finally returned to their respective rooms and prepared to rest. Too many things happened tonight, including the attack by Caster, the attack by Lancer and his master, the attack by Assassin and Kirei Kotomine, Ashes ran away in anger, and all kinds of things were pressing down on them.

After lifting Kiritsugu's shoulders, it was finally time to have a good sleep.

Of course, the person keeping watch at night is Saber. After all, it is during the Holy Grail War, so one cannot be too careful. Irisviel also reset the warning magic for the room.

Kiritsugu was lying on the bed fully clothed, with a pistol under his pillow and several machine guns beside the bed. This man had been living like this for half his life.

During this sleep, Kiritsugu slept very deeply. He shouldn't be here. The man named Emiya Kiritsugu had never let down his guard, so he had never slept so deeply.

"Nameless ashes, are you also pursuing fire?"

"Lord Ashes, I am just a thief, what can I do for a hero like you?"

"Thanks to you, I have fulfilled my promise. Now let me raise my glass for the last time. May you be with the sun."

"Swear to the wolf's blood and monitor the abyss."

"It would be fine if you were a dragon..."

"Lord Ashes, please usurp the flame."

"Lord Ashes, please pass on the flame."

…

In his dream, Kiritsugu heard countless voices echoing in his ears, all of them speaking to the person named Ashes, and every voice revealed grief and prayer.

Passing Fire? King of Fire? What is that? Kiritsugu, who was sleeping, could only continue reading with questions.

In this dream, he saw very few things, but it was enough, enough to shock this man with a heart as strong as steel.

The dilapidated royal city can still see its former glory. Withered people wander around every corner of the world, attacking others without any purpose. The darkness that covers the sky reflects the despair on the faces of the remaining people.

"The fire has been extinguished, but the king is nowhere to be seen; and the fireless ashes will come one after another. You are all nameless immortals who are not in this world and have been summoned; but for this reason, just pursue what you long for.

Let’s use the remaining fire!.”

An indescribable voice was saying something, and Kiritsugu could only feel an endless despair and longing. He saw countless people crawling up from their graves, heading towards inevitable death again, or... seeking that

A deserved death.

Finally, Kiritsugu saw the sky full of fire, the dim sun, and two people standing on the messy land. They just looked at the eye-catching flame in the center quietly.

"It's so pitiful, the flame that curses us, just extinguish it right here, no one will drink doves to quench their thirst anymore." The familiar voice came again.

The next actions of the two people made Kiritsugu feel a sense of sadness. He seemed to be able to hear the cry of the world, and then the flames disappeared, taking away all the light, and everything fell into darkness...

Opening his eyes suddenly, Kiritsugu saw the sunshine outside the window. Tears flowed involuntarily from his eyes, and his originally determined eyes became a little sad.

Ellie, who opened the door and prepared to wake up Kiritsugu, was startled by the scene in front of her. She hurriedly stepped forward to wipe away the tears left on Kiritsugu's face, and couldn't help but ask, "Kiritsugu, what's wrong with you?"

Kiritsugu, who was awakened by Irisviel, quickly adjusted his mind. His eyes regained their former brightness and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Kiritsugu thought about everything he saw in his dream, and couldn't help but ask Ellie, "Ellie, what did I do yesterday?"

I dreamed about Ashes and Fireproof Girl at night, and... saw a lot of strange things..."

Irisviel's eyes straightened slightly and she said to Kiritsugu, "The elder once told me that the master's mind and the servant's mind are connected to each other through the Holy Grail. Through dreams, both parties can see each other's past.

And it must be those past events that are engraved in your heart. Maybe you even saw the past of Ashes..."

"But... what is it? I'm really curious. It can actually make the determined Kiritsugu shed tears. It must be some kind of touching love, right?" Irisviel wiped away the last trace of tears from the corners of Kiritsugu's eyes and said jokingly.
