I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"This guy..."

All night long...

Kiritsugu Emiya did nothing but repeatedly read *Fate/Zero*, *Fate/Zero Epilogue*, and the first volume of *Fate/stay night* twice...

In the early morning, he rubbed his head and said, "Investigate Kurokawa Kazuya, his true identity, who's behind him, and... where he is now!"

......

"As for my thoughts..." Waver Velvet paused for a moment before saying, "This Holy Grail War will likely be the last, or at least the last one held in Fuyuki City. The Association will definitely intervene after this Holy Grail War. Whether it will lead to the revival of the Holy Grail War in various places or the complete disintegration of the Holy Grail will depend on the decision of the Association's higher-ups."

"and..."

"and?"

"Hmm... there's another possibility: the rulers of the Clock Tower have already figured all this out! Now they're just waiting for the Fourth Holy Grail War to take place so they can observe it and then decide what to do next."

"...Weber Velvet."

"Yes!" Weber said as if he understood something, straightening his body even though his legs were still trembling.

"I command you to participate in this Holy Grail War with me. Remember, it's an order. If you survive, I will acknowledge you. If we fail, you will die."

Chapter 84 Einzbern 4/11

Einzbern Castle —

Irisviel looked at her husband, Kiritsugu Emiya, with concern.

"Kiritsugu, are you alright?"

"If...if I decide to abandon everything and run away right now! Alice, would you come with me?"

"What about Ilya? What about the child?"

“Of course we’ll run away together.” Kiritsugu Emiya clenched his fist and said, “I’ll kill anyone who dares to stand in my way, and after that, I’ll spend everything I have on you and Illya!”

"Can we escape...?"

“We can escape! There’s still time!” Kiritsugu Emiya said, clenching his fist.

“You’re lying, you’re lying.” Irisviel came over and hugged him. “You will never run away. You will never forgive yourself for abandoning the Holy Grail, you will never forgive yourself for not saving the world. You will end Kiritsugu Emiya’s life just like the first and last judge.”

“Same…” Kiritsugu Emiya’s tone returned to calm.

"Ok?"

“Your words are almost identical to those in this book…”

"What?" Irisviel paused, looking at the object next to Kiritsugu Emiya's hand, and asked, "What does this have to do with that?"

"So... we can be almost completely sure now. Alice, let's run."

"Huh? Even at this point you're still—"

"What if... what if the Holy Grail no longer has the power to save the world? What if the Holy Grail becomes a weapon to destroy the world? Should I... really pursue such a Holy Grail?" Kiritsugu Emiya said, standing up from Irisviel's embrace. "The Holy Grail no longer exists."

"What's the meaning?"

“Take a look at these,” Kiritsugu Emiya said, pointing to a stack of books under the table. “The things on them are like prophecies, clearly reflecting my fate and our destiny. They are likely some kind of high-level futuristic vision.”

"Futurism?" Irisviel paused, taken aback. "You mean those eyes that can see the future?"

“That’s right…” Kiritsugu Emiya nodded. “So-called future vision is divided into two types: prediction and determination. It’s a relatively rare Mystic Eye, but… generally speaking, there are hundreds, thousands, or even more such beings in the world. However, this is only the general case. If I’m not mistaken, that person’s future vision should be the highest level, perhaps even the legendary ‘Rainbow’ level Mystic Eye. This Mystic Eye even allowed him to clearly see the Holy Grail War that is about to take place in Fuyuki City and its corresponding future.”

"The future of the Holy Grail War, you mean? Where, in the future he saw, did we lose?"

"It's hard to say... whether you say I won or I lost, I did indeed gain the right to make the wish to 'save the world'."

"Why would you do that?" Irisviel asked, taking the book with a puzzled look.

"Because... the way the Holy Grail saves the world is actually... to destroy the world."

"What? Why?" Irisviel's eyes widened. "This isn't normal. It was supposed to be about saving the world, so why did it turn into destroying it?"

"You'll understand once you take a look."

Kiritsugu Emiya pulled another book from under the table and said, "These two together represent... the future we were supposed to experience in the Holy Grail War. Irisviel... take a look, and after you've read them... let's run away."

"Kiritsugu..." Irisviel couldn't think of anything else to say to her husband, after all, their perspectives were different now. Perhaps... everything would get better after she finished reading this manga called *Fate/Zero*.

“I understand, Kiritsugu. Before that, go see Illya.” Irisviel said to Kiritsugu Emiya with a smile, “That child is very attached to you.”

“Ah...I understand.” Kiritsugu Emiya nodded. “Don’t let Yubustakuhaid see these.”

"Don't worry, if it really comes to the point where leaving is unavoidable, Kiritsugu... I will respect your choice. I just hope you won't regret it then..."

"Ah... don't worry..."

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded and left.

Future vision is a skill possessed by many people... In the Type-Moon universe, in Kanbu City alone, three people with future vision emerged within a year. Although the types of vision differed, they all undeniably possessed this ability.

While it could be argued that the location of the story explains the abundance of this ability, it already demonstrates just how widespread it is.

Having futuristic vision isn't a big deal, but—these people only learned about it through connections, more or less.

"Could it be... around that time?" Kiritsugu Emiya, playing in the snow with Illya, was still thinking. London... he'd met Kurokawa Kazuya once. A high-level future vision could directly foresee a person's death, the end...

Or perhaps, that person saw their future at that moment.

And this kind of future can be avoided...

For example, right now, he's simply avoiding Fuyuki City. But why is he telling everyone this in this way?

And he even wrote his own name directly in the manga, "Emiya Kiritsugu." Was he trying to... convey a message to me?

No, that's not right. He shouldn't have had future vision back then, otherwise his sister wouldn't have been kidnapped.

However, there is another possibility: they came to London to escape a certain fate, but ended up encountering something else... This possibility also exists.

The chances of arriving at the correct answer by guessing alone are too slim. If possible, we must personally go to that person named Kurokawa Kazuya to obtain evidence.

"Sleep well, Ilya."

"Hmm, where's Daddy?" Ilya asked sleepily as she lay in bed after playing all day.

"I'm going to check on Mom. You go to sleep first, we'll be back in a bit," Kiritsugu Emiya said with a smile. "By the way, Illya, do you want to... go outside and play?"

"Outside?"

“That’s right…outside the castle.” Kiritsugu Emiya gently patted Illya’s head and said, “Let’s go together to the whole world.”

"Where's Mom? Will Mom come too?"

"Ah, of course... The three of us can go together, and wherever Ilya wants to go, we can go, how about that?"

"Okay, Ilya... I want to go play..."

Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Illya, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion while talking, and said softly, "Don't worry, Illya... you'll be just like a normal child."

Chapter 85 The Collapse of the Holy Grail War 5/11

think carefully.

That guy...

Kurokawa Kazuya knows too much.

If it were simply about the future, it could be explained by futurism, but he even knows about the past.

Even its own trump card... Origin Bullet knows everything about it.

Not only that... his own past, his own father... the things that happened on that island...

Even... Natalia.

He knows even her affairs clearly; this is something Future Vision can't explain! We must find him and investigate thoroughly.

Otherwise, even if Irisviel and I hide, there is still a possibility that they will be found.

No matter what—it's necessary!

Having made up his mind, Kiritsugu Emiya pushed open the door to the room in front of him: "Irene... how is she?"

"Hmm... I'm fine." Looking at Kiritsugu Emiya who had walked in, Irisviel, who had been thinking things through during this time, said, "Kiritsugu... would you be at ease if you just ran away like this?"

Emiya Kiritsugu's heart skipped a beat...

The person in front of him seemed to have read his mind.

"That's right... Even knowing that the Holy Grail exists like this, you wouldn't stop, would you? No... It's not that you would still pursue the Holy Grail. Rather... You have the thought that 'this thing absolutely cannot be obtained by the wrong person, it cannot be allowed to destroy the world,' right? You have the thought of wanting to... completely end the Holy Grail War, right?"

"Alice..."

"So it seems that's how it is after all... That's why you are Emiya Kiritsugu."

......

"I never imagined things would develop to this extent."

Underground of Liudong Temple, there is a big cave——

An old man's voice came from there.

"I never imagined that the Holy Grail War would spread so far. This should be the last time. At least, the last time I can participate." Zouken Matou looked at the Heroic Spirit summoning array he had inscribed near the large void and said, "In that case, I must give it my all... As for the Heroic Spirit... I'll stick with that one, Berserker. That way it'll be easier to control..."

......

Tohsaka House.

“I don’t think that’s Kirei’s true nature.” Kotomine Ryougi said to his friend Tokiomi Tohsaka, “It must be the result of Gilgamesh’s bewitching. My friend, we must not summon that Heroic Spirit again this time.”

This father, as always, maintained his trust in his son.

"Father... I'm sorry to have troubled you. I will definitely help my master win the Holy Grail War," Kirei Kotomine assured him from the side.

"No...it's alright, Kirei. I know what kind of person you are, and I've been with you for years. I can't possibly judge you wrong based on a fabricated manga," Tokiomi Tohsaka said elegantly. Besides, this man had saved his daughter...to take action before anything even happened would damage the reputation of the Tohsaka family.

"Thank you, my mentor." Kirei Kotomine bowed and said. To be honest... he himself was not sure what he was thinking or what he wanted.
