章節 84: [84] Einzbern
Einzbern Castle —
Irisviel watched her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, with concern.
"Kiritsugu, are you okay?"
"If... if I decide to abandon everything and run away right now! Iris, would you come with me?"
"What about Illyasviel? What would happen to our child?"
"Of course, we would run away together," Emiya Kiritsugu clenched his fist and said, "Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll kill them. After that, I'll spend everything I have on you and Illyasviel!"
"Can we escape?"
"We can! It's still possible now!" Emiya Kiritsugu said, clenching his hand.
"You're lying, you're lying," Irisviel came over and hugged him. "You won't run away. You won't forgive yourself for abandoning the Holy Grail, for not saving the world. You'll be like the first and last Judge, ending Emiya Kiritsugu's life."
"The same..." Emiya Kiritsugu's tone returned to calm.
"Huh?"
"Your words are almost the same as those in this book." Emiya Kiritsugu gestured to the nearby book.
"What?" Irsiviel paused for a moment, looking at Emiya Kiritsugu's side, and wondered what that had to do with that book.
"This way... I'm almost certain of everything now. Iris, let's run."
"Huh? At a time like this, you're still—"
"What if... what if the Holy Grail no longer has the ability to save the world? What if the Holy Grail becomes a weapon to destroy the world? Do I really want to pursue such a Holy Grail?" Emiya Kiritsugu stood up from Irisviel's embrace and said, "The Holy Grail no longer exists."
"What... do you mean?"
"Look at these." Emiya Kiritsugu pointed to a stack of books under the table. "The things on them are like prophecies, clearly mapping our fate, and it's likely some high-level form of future sight."
"Future sight?" Irisviel blinked. "Do you mean the eyes that can see the future?"
"Yes..." Emiya Kiritsugu nodded. "The so-called future sight can be divided into two types: prediction and determination. It's a relatively rare Magecraft, but... generally speaking, there are hundreds, even thousands of such individuals worldwide. However, that's just the general case. If I'm not mistaken, the future sight of that person should be the highest level, perhaps even a "Rainbow"-level Magecraft as mentioned in legends. This Magecraft allows them to clearly see the upcoming Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City and its corresponding future."
"The future of the Holy Grail War? You mean... he saw in the future where we lost?"
"It's uncertain... whether we won or lost, but I did gain the power to make a wish to 'save the world.'"
"Why is that?" Irisviel asked in bewilderment. "It doesn't make sense. It's supposed to be saving the world, so why would it turn into destroying the world?"
"The specifics, you'll understand when you look."
Emiya Kiritsugu picked up another book from under the table and said, "These two together are... the future we were originally supposed to experience in the Holy Grail War. Iris, take a look. After you've finished reading, let's run."
"Kiritsugu..." Irisviel couldn't think of anything else to persuade her husband. After all, their perspectives were different now. Maybe... everything would get better after she finished reading this manga called "Fate/Zero."
"I understand, Kiritsugu. Before that, go and see Illyasviel," Irisviel smiled at Emiya Kiritsugu. "She's very attached to you."
"Ah... I know." Emiya Kiritsugu nodded. "These, don't let Jubstacheit von Einzbern see them."
"Don't worry, Kiritsugu. If it really comes to a point where we can't stay, I'll respect your decision. I just hope you won't regret it..."
"Ah... rest assured..."
Emiya Kiritsugu nodded and left.
Future sight, this ability wasn't uncommon... In the Type-Moon world, just in the city of Fuyuki alone, three people with future sight abilities appeared within a year. Although they had different types of abilities, it was clear that the proliferation of this ability was evident.
Having future sight wasn't the issue, but... all these people had learned about it through various means.
"Could it be that time?" Emiya Kiritsugu, who was playing in the snow outside with Illyasviel, thought to himself. In London... he had met Kurokawa Kazuya. A high-level future sight could directly see a person's death through this ability, the end...
Or perhaps, that person had seen their own future at that time.
And the future seen in this way could be avoided...
For example, now he could simply not go to Fuyuki City and avoid it. But why did he choose to inform everyone in this way?
'Moreover, he directly wrote my own name in the manga, "Emiya Kiritsugu," to convey a message to me?
No, that person probably didn't have future sight at that time, or else his sister wouldn't have been kidnapped.
However, there was another possibility: they had come to London to avoid a certain fate, but ended up stumbling into another event... This possibility also existed.
Just speculating wouldn't lead to the correct answer. If possible, he had to personally find that person called Kurokawa Kazuya for evidence.
"Sleep well, Illyasviel."
"Okay, where's Daddy?" Illyasviel, who had played all day, lay in bed with sleepy eyes.
"I'm going to check on Mommy. You go to sleep first, and we'll be back in a moment." Emiya Kiritsugu smiled and said, "By the way, Illyasviel, do you want to... go outside and play?"
"Outside?"
"Yes... outside the castle." Emiya Kiritsugu gently said, ruffling Illyasviel's hair. "Towards the entire world together."
"What about Mommy? Is Mommy coming too?"
"Ah, of course... the three of us together. Illyasviel, where do you want to go? We'll go wherever you want. How about it?"
"Okay, Illyasviel... wants to play outside..."
As Emiya Kiritsugu watched, Illyasviel, who was already exhausted and falling asleep, murmured softly, "Don't worry, Illyasviel... you'll be just like any other child."
