A person is in Type-Moon, goes out, and then picks up an Outer God girl?

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from the exit behind him, blowing the black windbreaker hanging on the ground of Emiya Kiritsugu. The sound of armor colliding in his ears made Emiya Kiritsugu turn his head, and he saw Arthur's figure standing in the dim entrance, with a sword in his hand that he had never seen before.

Seeing the scene before him, Arthur's arrival seemed to rekindle hope in Emiya Kiritsugu's disillusioned heart, and this hope was extremely strong and fiery.

He stood up suddenly and looked at Saber who had rushed here, a light flashing in his empty eyes.

"Saber! You've arrived just in time. Before you disappear, renew your contract with me! This way, you can enter the Holy Grail's barrier with me and make your wish toward it!"

The paranoid man seemed to have fallen into another paranoia. His original intention of relying on his own hands to achieve permanent peace if he could not obtain the Holy Grail changed to the idea that if there was no Holy Grail to guarantee the peace of that group of people, then he who destroyed Fuyuki City at this moment would become as evil as the terrorists he had killed in the past.

He desperately wanted to prove through the realization of his wish that everything he had done was not in vain, and wanted to use the realization of his wish to prove that the path he had been following was correct from the beginning to the end!

Arthur didn't say anything, but just walked over silently, allowing Kiritsugu Emiya to draw his blood on his body and make a temporary contract with him.

Looking at the Command Seals that reappeared in his hand, a smile of rescue finally appeared on Emiya Kiritsugu's face. He ignored Arthur in front of him. After becoming the "Master" in this Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately turned around and walked towards the Holy Grail behind him.

Poof——

Kiritsugu Emiya's steps forward suddenly stopped in mid-air. Looking at the blood-stained but still bright sword in his abdominal cavity, the smile of rescue on his face also froze.

"What are you doing, Saber?! Only by making a wish to the Holy Grail can Irisviel's life not be in vain. Don't you see? Irisviel is standing right there, waiting for me!"

The pain from the abdominal wound made Emiya Kiritsugu somewhat angry. The miracle that saved the world was clearly before his eyes, but this familiar, which had only appeared here with the help of the Holy Grail, had actually betrayed him...

"Eri is already dead, Kiritsugu. She was already dead the moment you decided to attack this city."

"Killed by your own hands..."

Arthur's eyes were cold, and his originally sparkling emerald eyes were now extremely dim, just like the cold light of Wuhui Lake in his hand, filled with murderous intent.

"Nonsense! Ellie was clearly standing there! I deliberately avoided the attack from the Einzbern Castle. She even had Avalon with her. How could I possibly kill her?!"

Emiya Kiritsugu tried to break free from the sword that pierced his body, but all his movements seemed to be restrained by some invisible force. Even when he used Izuku's Time Alter to speed up his escape, it did not change at all when his body reached its limit.

"I order you with the Command Seal, Saber, to cease all your actions!"

The scene of the Command Spell taking effect did not appear, but instead a figure that he was very familiar with appeared.

Blood began to flow out from the corners of his mouth due to the acceleration of the inherent time system, and his teeth stained red with blood seemed like a monster that wanted to eat the yellow thing standing in front of him in the ceremony.

"Caster! Caster! Why aren't you dead yet? Your Master should have been blown to pieces long ago!"

Unable to understand, analyze, or imagine, Caster's appearance made Emiya Kiritsugu completely disgusted with his own actions. Even if he could survive by chance, he would choose to commit suicide by shooting himself.

Duanmu Ye, who was standing in the ceremony of the Holy Grail's descent, did not choose to take the Holy Grail in a hurry. Instead, he was a little surprised that Arthur's resistance to magic was fully displayed when he backstabbed Emiya Kiritsugu. Could it be that Arthur actually has a setting to backstab others?

Duanmu Ye was speechless. He didn't care that Emiya Kiritsugu put all the blame on him. He just looked at the seriously injured Emiya Kiritsugu falling to the ground indifferently, and looked at Arthur, whose whole body was emitting light but the sword in his hand did not fall into the devil's sword.

"The Holy Grail is yours, Caster. This time... I'm defeated."

Arthur murmured, his face still showing the ruthlessness and determination of a king.

He did not kill Emiya Kiritsugu as a savior, but as a king, executing someone he thought should be put to death.

At this moment, Duanmu Ye thought, if Lancelot saw this scene, he would be very happy, right?

However, Arthur's words did not stop there. At the moment before he completely disappeared, his voice was once again filled with infinite fighting spirit.

"But if there's another chance we meet, I'll risk everything I have and kill you completely!"

"..."

Duanmu Ye could only respond with silence, because Arthur had disappeared. This Holy Grail War ended in a subtle way, and the Holy Grail also descended at the moment with its maximum power.

Ignoring Emiya Kiritsugu who fell to the ground, his body damaged by the indestructible lake light could not be healed unless he had Avalon.

And now Avalon is still in the Einzbern castle. Without Avalon, Emiya Kiritsugu is already dead after suffering such a fatal injury...

Turning and walking towards the Holy Grail, Duanmu Ye naturally ignored the shadow of Irisviel. All he needed from the beginning to the end was the Holy Grail.

"I give the command with the Command Seal, Van Gogh, come to my side!"

The last stroke of the Command Seal was used at this moment, as if drawing an end to the Holy Grail War. Van Gogh's figure slowly appeared in front of him, sandwiched between him and the Holy Grail.

Seeing this, Duanmu Ye finally smiled. He looked at Van Gogh in front of him and spoke with a sense of relief.

"Make a wish, Van Gogh. I have dragged all the evil in this world into the illusion of Aldebaran. He will not return until the Holy Grail is used!"

Van Gogh said nothing, but just looked at the Holy Grail behind him which had reached the same height as him, and then looked at Duanmu Ye in front of him who was still covered in a layer of yellow clothes, but revealed his original appearance after taking off his hood, and smiled slightly.

"My wish is..."

Duanmu Ye smiled, responding to Van Gogh's smile, looking forward to the wish she was about to blurt out.

"Master... please kill me..."

"?"

"etc?!"

Duanmu Ye's smile froze on his face, just like Emiya Kiritsugu's before. The next moment he wanted to ask, Van Gogh's figure had already distanced himself from him along with the Holy Grail.

"I know... Master, you want me to live... But Van Gogh is their creation. As long as Van Gogh is alive, they will find a breakthrough and come one day..."

Van Gogh smiled on his pale face, as if he was trying his best not to make his smile look so sad.

"So... kill me, at least let me die as Van Gogh, not... something else..."

If one wants to make a wish to the Holy Grail, one must kill Van Gogh. If so, Duanmu Ye can even give up using the Holy Grail.

but......

This was Van Gogh's wish, her true wish...

But...is it too risky to use the power of the Outer Gods to kill her?

The breeze blew gently across his cheek, and a hint of coolness made Duanmu Ye notice that his body seemed to have undergone some changes. Even his hands, which should have been empty, had a pair of silver bows and arrows.

No longer the Yellow King of Hastur, but another archer associated with Van Gogh...

Duanmu Ye, who saw this scene, gradually understood everything. He raised his bow-holding hand and placed the arrow that was shining with golden light, the arrow that could eliminate all evil, on the silver longbow.

Without touching the Holy Grail, wishes cannot be granted, but if the arrow is regarded as a part of the body... can one's wish be granted?

Duanmu Ye moved his lips as he thought so, but with his eyes closed he was able to accurately look at Van Gogh in the distance.

"Become an independent individual, Van Gogh. No longer a creation, but an ordinary girl named Van Gogh..."

The silver longbow shot the golden arrow, piercing through the white girl, the golden holy grail, the thick stone wall, and reaching the sky.

The sun...is rising...

It seems that the passage of time in the Holy Grail space is different, or there may be some other reason.

When Duanmu Ye walked out of the cave in Yuanzang Mountain alone, the dazzling sunlight made his hands and feet feel a little cold.

Everything is over, and the sun rises as usual.

However, for Duanmu Ye, his sun seemed to have set...

Water, Wind, and Flowers: Final Chapter: I seem to have nowhere to go. Can you still take me in?

The dazzling sunlight rose from the coastline of the sky. The city that should have been prosperous was now in ruins. There was even a deep sinkhole in the very center of Fuyuki City.

That was the result of some kind of high-powered missile. The huge pit was filled with the smell of gunpowder that had not completely dissipated for a long time. Even if you looked closely, you could see countless small craters on the inner wall of the huge pit that completely enveloped it.

Duanmu Ye was silent as he witnessed this scene. Unless they could find a way to fill up a bomb crater of this size with soil from other places, such a hole would definitely continue to exist along with Fuyuki City.

Looking up at the sky symbolizes that Van Gogh's "Starry Night" has completely disappeared. Whether it is during the day or in the nights to come, the miracle of the starry night will never be seen by him again.

It seemed as if he was the only one standing at the edge of the bomb crater in the silent city. The snowflakes falling from the sky were cold and biting, so that Duanmu Ye, who was clearly fully illuminated by the rising sun, did not feel any warmth from the sun.

Suddenly, he turned around as if he felt something. At the end of his sight, at the end of the road in his sight, something seemed to flash by on the straight road connecting to Ryudo Temple on Enzo Mountain.

Although he had lost the channel connecting to the outer gods like Van Gogh, he still possessed the power of Hastur and Cthugha's gaze. Although he could no longer transform into their appearance, Duanmu Ye could still perceive something unusual at this moment.

But... he had clearly already destroyed the Greater Holy Grail's ritual formation, using the arrow of Apollo bestowed upon him by Van Gogh to destroy the vast void beneath Ryudo-ji Temple and the Greater Holy Grail's ritual formation, and had confirmed that Emiya Kiritsugu had lost all vital signs before leaving Mount Enzo...

Is it an illusion?

Duanmu Ye did not take his eyes off, staring at Yuan Zangshan while his brain was working rapidly.

He was not sure whether the Faceless Walker could bring him the power of the Outer Gods again after Van Gogh left, but since all the negative effects brought by that power had been taken away by Van Gogh's departure, wouldn't it be irrational for him to use them now?

Duanmu Ye lowered his eyes. At this moment, he did not have any magical qualifications or even magic circuits. Some abnormal wind fields began to surround his body. Then, a yellow cloak appeared on Duanmu Ye's body as he was wrapped in the wind field.

But as the wind died down, the cloak that had been hanging down to the ground began to disappear bit by bit, until it became just a tattered coat, a coat that could no longer conceal his appearance or figure...

At the same time, in the large cave of Mt. Enzo, the purple-haired girl showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, but soon turned it into a smile.

He still couldn't let go of this power...

"Uncle Kirei, it looks like we need to expedite our actions. It's amazing that you were able to go to Einzbern Castle, kill that vessel, and remove the contents within her. Do you really like this guy named Emiya Kiritsugu that much?"

Kotomine Kirei said nothing, silently placing the scabbard on the chest of Emiya Kiritsugu, who seemed to have lost all life, and performing seemingly useless healing magic for him.

Faced with Kotomine Kirei's behavior of ignoring her, Matou Sakura was not angry. On the contrary, she liked to have such a rebellious person working under her. After all, only such a person who was both obedient and disobedient could bring her some fun that neither obedient nor disobedient dogs could necessarily achieve.

Therefore, at this moment, Sakura Matou, still smiling, squatted on the opposite side of Kotomine Kirei, and put her hand through the physical Avalon, deep into the wound on Kiritsugu Emiya's chest, and kept groping.

"What are you doing?"

Kotomine Kirei frowned slightly. Although the magic of recalling the souls of the dead was a forbidden ritual, of course, if it was really possible to recall souls, it would be considered magic from the Age of Gods. With the current level of mysticism, it was almost impossible to achieve the level of complete resurrection of the dead.

However, what Kotomine Kirei was going to do was not some ritual to revive the dead, nor was it some magic to recall the soul. On the contrary, what he was doing was simply trying to revive Emiya Kiritsugu's body, and then bury the scabbard that could summon King Arthur in his body, using this legendary scabbard to heal his soul.

Even if he failed, he could still take the scabbard for himself. The reason he was doing this now was entirely because he personally believed that if Kiritsugu Emiya, who had done such a crazy thing, survived, he would surely face this city and his own actions in a very painful manner, right?

What kind of expression would he have at that time?

Although Kotomine Kirei did not speak and was even trying his best to control his emotions, Matou Sakura, who had long seen through everything, smiled indifferently and ruthlessly exposed his thoughts.

"Resurrecting a person with just this level of magic power is not enough. Although I can't touch this scabbard, I can tell you with certainty that he is completely dead. No matter how powerful this scabbard is, it can't bring a dead person back to life."

Matou Sakura's smile exuded a chilling coldness, but Kotomine Kirei didn't care. Instead, he took his hand off the scabbard and handed over everything that followed to the girl in front of him.

"Since you've said so, let me see the devil's methods."

There was a hint of sneer in his words. Kotomine Kirei didn't care about anything that happened next. Even if Emiya Kiritsugu was turned into some kind of deformed monster as if he had undergone human transmutation, he would only laugh out loud after seeing such a distorted appearance.

The corners of Matou Sakura's mouth rose slightly, and she kept using her slender fingers to grope in Emiya Kiritsugu's wound, which had not yet completely rotted. After figuring out the structure, the fingertips stained with blood and flesh began to twist and became some extremely slender linear tentacles.

Normally, the human eye cannot see everything that happens inside the human body. However, it is not only the magic of the baptism chant that exists. With the help of the dialysis magic learned from Tōsaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei can clearly see what is happening inside Emiya Kiritsugu's body at this moment.

Kotomine Kirei, who had studied internal medicine, surgery and other medical subjects in his spare time, was stunned. Although healing magic could heal the wound from the outside, the internal damage still depended on the physical fitness of the injured person.

If Emiya Kiritsugu were alive, and he used healing magic to heal his external wounds, the internal damage would naturally be able to recover within a certain period of time relying on his own physical strength.

However, at this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu was in a state of death both inside and outside his body. If he wanted to be pulled back from this state, the only possible method was the magic of resurrection of the dead...

But the problem is that at this moment, Sakura Matou, who is constantly operating, seems to have a special power, which allows the body that has long lost all vitality and the cells that have long been dead to come back to life in a very strange way.

The reason is that when she turned into a tentacle, she connected the wounds like blood vessels and meridians, and at the moment she connected the separated flesh and blood, she transported some alternative active factors.

Kotomine Kirei enjoyed this inhuman scene with great gusto, and even kept imprinting the scene in front of him in his mind. He planned to find a suitable candidate next time to test whether he could also achieve this level.

But before Kotomine Kirei could sigh that the demon before him might actually be able to revive Emiya Kiritsugu, the corpse lying quietly on the ground suddenly swelled up, like a balloon, expanding to twice or even three times its size in an instant.

The original skin was broken through by the flesh and blood inside, and the inactive muscles and blood vessels drooped weakly, and then began to twist and turn the next moment they regained their vitality, because they seemed to have self-awareness. Even though the blood vessels were connected to the muscles, they actively separated from the muscles and became independently dancing individuals.

The originally normal human being turned into a swollen ball of flesh in this instant. Sakura Matou, whose arm was swallowed up, was unsurprisingly lifted up by the swollen ball of flesh and dropped into the air.

A faint breeze was approaching. Noticing this, Matou Sakura smiled faintly. Then, as her body was shaken, her other hand transformed into a sickle made up of several slender tentacles. Under the gaze of Kotomine Kirei, she chopped off her arm that was devoured by the flesh without hesitation.

Sakura Matou breathed a sigh of relief as she landed steadily on the ground. The cross section of her body that was severed by the sickle had a faint trace of tiny tumors that kept wriggling. The next moment, without any blood flowing out, a smooth white arm regenerated from the severed limb.

"Okay, now he's resurrected!"

Matou Sakura smiled and patted the blood on her body. Although she couldn't wipe it off, she still looked at Kotomine Kirei, who looked a little solemn, with a relieved expression.

"You mean... this piece of meat is Emiya Kiritsugu?"

Kotomine Kirei clearly didn't want to believe it, but the arm that had been left inside the piece of flesh gradually shrank, becoming a beating black heart at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"Of course it's not Emiya Kiritsugu, but could it be me?"

Matou Sakura burst out laughing. When she was about to collide with Duanmu Ye, she did not leave in a hurry, nor did she take any countermeasures immediately.

Contact with Duanmu Ye was not part of her plan. From the very beginning, she had never thought that Duanmu Ye would choose to use his own power when he temporarily lost the curse of the outer god.

Despite being extremely restrained, as the one who gave this power, Sakura Matou was able to receive considerable feedback.

As Sakura Matou finished her words, there was a sound of something cracking from the expanding piece of flesh. Then, a naked man emerged from the piece of flesh that had cracked from the chest where the arm disappeared.

Kotomine Kirei was no stranger to the man who was almost naked. His skin, naturally brown due to wind and sun exposure, had only a black patch where the wound had been. Everything else appeared to him just as it did to the Emiya Kiritsugu that Kotomine Kirei knew.

There is no doubt that Emiya Kiritsugu is indeed alive. The huge piece of meat is like a cocoon, "giving birth" to Emiya Kiritsugu who should have died.
