This seems to be in Anno's memory. One of the few scenes in which Irisviel appeared in the later period. Kuu Maiya, Emiya Kiritsugu, and other servants appeared more frequently, as the Holy Grail War progressed.
The battle gradually became more intense, and the followers retreated more frequently.
Irisviel's life gradually declined.
She doesn't have much time left.
When the soul of the servant in the Little Holy Grail comes to the Five Horsemen, her life functions will completely stop and she will become the Little Holy Grail.
The last two riding servants will engage in a final battle to the death under the witness of the Little Holy Grail.
On the Mito River, several people eliminated Berserker Ibaraki Doji.
Archer chose to challenge Caster's challenge and eliminated the small architect Manlio Fedino Springer on the beach.
Anno, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Kuu Maiya attacked Lancer's stronghold and eliminated Diarmait Odina.
then......
The battlefield of the Holy Grail War was divided into two halves by two strong men who had a clear understanding of each other.
At Fuyuki Church, Anno eliminated Assassin Zuomura Anno.
At Fuyuki Ohashi, Gilgamesh eliminated Rider Iskandar.
The Little Holy Grail has arrived.
Black mud.
It has also arrived.
Emiya Shirou even stood up from the sofa and looked at the black mud overflowing from the small Holy Grail.
That, is...!
Kazuoko turned her head away and sighed softly.
Where did this go...
The real terror has not yet arrived.
The battle between Annuo and Gilgamesh began. Both of them gave up all their strength and started fighting crazily with life and death as the bet.
In the end, Gilgamesh's magic power suddenly dropped off a cliff for a moment, and Anno also seized this opportunity and eliminated his final opponent Archer Gilgamesh in one fell swoop.
The soul of the sixth Servant entered the Small Holy Grail.
The Lesser Holy Grail finally connected with the Great Holy Grail.
——That was the beginning of despair.
A huge hole appeared in the sky, and endless black mud surged out.
In desperation, Emiya Kiritsugu ordered Anno to use his Noble Phantasm to destroy the Small Holy Grail, but instead of stopping the black mud from continuing to gush out, this only fueled his arrogance.
The Fuyuki Fire happened.
Emiya Shirou's eyes reflected the blazing fire.
Is this...the truth of that year?
Is this... the miserable life of a man named Emiya Kiritsugu?
Annuo's spiritual base was broken and his vision began to blur, but he still followed his feelings and walked towards the burning ruins.
He saw it.
Everyone saw it.
The man with a numb expression, who seemed to have shed all his tears, and whose hands were rotten from turning over the ruins.
He is looking for possible living beings, looking for salvation - his own salvation.
He understood, he finally understood.
He finally understood what went wrong with what he did, understood his stupidity and blindness, and understood that he should be cast aside.
Because of this, he will not give up. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, he will try his best to find a way, even if it means saving just one person.
——He found it.
The expression on his face changed from numbness to disbelief in an instant, and then from disbelief to ecstasy.
It was an arm stretching out from under the ruins, still trembling slightly.
Outside the mirror, Emiya Shirou slumped down on the sofa again.
——He knew whose hand it was.
He was crying and so ecstatic that the expression on his face was distorted with happiness.
He rescued the red-haired boy from the ruins, hugged him, and kept saying thank you, as if the one who was rescued was not the boy at all, but Emiya Kiritsugu.
Anno finally came to Emiya Kiritsugu and this boy.
The angle of view suddenly dropped, and Annuo could no longer stand still.
He called out to Emiya Kiritsugu.
"...Kiritsugu."
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at him blankly, and called out in a daze as well.
"Saber..."
"Now, how much do you understand everything?"
There was relief and relief in Annuo's tone, as well as a weakness that couldn't be ignored.
He's leaving.
Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head, looked at the unconscious boy in his arms, and nodded tremblingly.
"Ah...well, I...understand..."
Humans are such creatures.
If you don't pay the price, you may never understand some things.
Emiya Kiritsugu paid the price, and he understood and understood.
"That's good... now, let me save this child..."
Annuo's voice finally sounded reassuring.
He raised his right hand in this life and pressed it on the red-haired boy—Emiya Shirou.
"Kiritsugu, what I say next...you have to remember it."
He looked at his master with blurred vision, the servant who looked like a candle in the wind, and said with a smile on his face.
"Go and save everyone you can."
"Stop defending for the sake of saving, and stop giving up less for the sake of more..."
"Finally, don't let this child be alone again..."
An Nuo's vision was almost dark, but his voice still sounded.
"You are not the only one who was rescued. Farewell, Emiya Kiritsugu..."
"My...Master..."
The memory came to an abrupt end.
...
"What to do now?"
The hall is a little empty.
After reading Annuo's memories, Illya ran upstairs alone, locked herself in the room, and said she wanted to be quiet, and then asked Sera and Ligelit to make arrangements to entertain everyone.
There was movement.
It was obvious that the Irisviel in Anno's memory and the Irisviel in the consciousness space that she had always known were completely different people.
In this regard, at least Sera and Li Jieli felt a little numb.
To entertain this group of people who invaded the stronghold...
They do share the same heart with Illya, but in the final analysis, before they were Illya's maids, they were artificial beings of the Einzbern family.
Some things and some concepts cannot be changed by relying on a memory.
But they still entertained the group honestly, but their expressions were not very good.
Emiya Shirou sat aside, looked up at Tohsaka Rin who asked the question, then lowered his head and continued thinking.
Anno's memory allowed him to learn more about the man named Emiya Kiritsugu...
Was the original Emiya Kiritsugu that kind of person?
"Just wait a moment. Her current attitude at least means that she can be trusted, doesn't it?"
Matou Shinji smiled.
"It's... about how to expel the alien substances in the Little Holy Grail, this..."
