Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

"It's not bad. The main reason is that she doesn't like to take shortcuts. She likes to explore step by step."

"Really? Miss Flillian is really amazing..."

"Just call her Fulilian, don't be so polite."

"I see......"

"Let's not talk about that for now. Can I go see Mr. Emiya?"

"You want to see Mr. Emiya? That's no problem, but what is it?"

"That is of course... to take his place in the Holy Grail War. He is unfit to participate."

"Eh?"

......

Tokito came to the door of Emiya Kiritsugu's room alone. Furlian was left behind by him to play with Illya, so it was not suitable for her to come along.

Irisviel didn't come with them either. She was preparing a room for them. After all, they were going to stay here.

Perhaps it was because Shichen appeared too suddenly, or perhaps it was because he was Illya's father, Irisviel was not on guard against him at all.

Although Shi Chen did not show any abilities or proof, Illya's attitude told it all. Irisviel had been watching Illya waiting for her father to come since she was a child... She originally thought that she just wanted a father, but today's situation seemed to be true.

It was hard for her not to believe it. She was indeed pregnant with Illya for no apparent reason.

Now in her heart, she was just grateful that Shichen didn't take Illya away, and she had no mood to think more.

It's a good thing for her to stay.

Standing at the door, Shichen knocked.

"Who?" a deep voice came out.

"I."

"who are you?"

"Emiya Kiritsugu, do you want to save the world?"

"what?"

Along with the sound of doubt, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man who looked very decadent showed his face.

His expression was a little numb and his beard was untidy. If he were outside, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a homeless person.

Tokichi recognized him at a glance—his ally in justice, Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Who are you?" Emiya Kiritsugu raised his eyes and asked in confusion.

"My name is Tokishi, and I'm here to save the world for you." Tokishi's gaze fell on the back of Kiritsugu Emiya's hand that was grasping the door.

There was an obvious red mark on it, like three patterns stitched together.

It is the Command Seal, something only those who are qualified for the Holy Grail War have. It has the absolute power to command the Servants to obey, and it is a mark exclusive to the Master.

This also means that Kiritsugu Emiya has been chosen as one of the seven masters of this Holy Grail War.

"The hour?"

"Don't worry, I'm not suspicious. You can go to Irisviel now to verify my identity."

"No need. Suspicious people won't show up so openly."

"As expected of Kiritsugu Papa, he is smart."

"Hmm?" Hearing Shichen's address, Emiya Kiritsugu frowned.

"Ahem, don't worry about it, it was just a slip of the tongue."

Emiya Kiritsugu really didn't care. He asked calmly, "What do you mean by saving the world for me?"

"You won't let me in to talk?"

"Come in." Emiya Kiritsugu made way without hesitation.

Shi Chen didn't hesitate and walked in directly.

The room was a little dark, and with normal eyesight, people could only barely see some of the furniture, but it was nothing for Shichen.

"How long have you lived here?" Shi Chen asked.

The room was very simple, with nothing in it except a bed and a cabinet.

"Eight years." Emiya Kiritsugu replied.

"Eight years? Have you always been like this?" Shi Chen exclaimed in surprise.

"Any questions?"

"As expected of you..." Shi Chen shook his head and sat down beside the bed in a familiar manner.

"So, can you answer me now?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked, leaning against the door without coming over.

"It's simple. You are not fit to participate in the Holy Grail War. Let me do it."

"What does the Einzberns mean?"

"No, I mean it myself."

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that."

"Hey, have you forgotten what I said about saving the world for you?"

"What do you mean?" Emiya Kiritsugu stared at him calmly.

"Do you want to win the Holy Grail and make a wish to save the world or something?"

"How do you know...?"

"I don't know how to replace you? But unfortunately, your wish cannot be implemented."

"why?"

"It's not that you are not strong enough, nor that other magicians are stronger, but there is a problem with the Holy Grail." Shi Chen spread his hands and told the truth.

"What...do you mean?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked blankly.

"You may not know that in the last Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail absorbed the soul of the anti-hero. It was contaminated."

"Anti-hero?"

"You don't need to understand it clearly. You just need to know that if you make a wish to the Holy Grail, you will only get the opposite wish."

"The opposite wish?"

"Because of being polluted, wishes will be interpreted in a negative direction and will often only be fulfilled in a way that will bring destruction and disaster."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Emiya Kiritsugu was confused.

"It's very simple."

Shichen smiled and said, "If you want to realize your wish for world peace, then the Holy Grail will cause the destruction of all mankind."

"How... is it possible?" Emiya Kiritsugu was incredulous.

"Because the world will be peaceful only if humans are gone."

"how come......"

"This is the Holy Grail now, so you can't let anyone else get it."

"what do you mean?"

"How about destroying it?"

Chapter 290 Dad Should Sleep Together

When Tokichi came out of Emiya Kiritsugu's room, a faint smile was on his face. He raised his left hand, and on the back of his hand was the same Command Seal as the one on the back of Emiya Kiritsugu's hand.

It's just a crystallization of magic power, it's still very easy to transfer.

He was prepared to use strong measures, but his righteous companions were too easily persuaded.

The uncertainty of the future, coupled with what Tokichi had said, made Emiya Kiritsugu really have no confidence in himself.

After all, even if you become the final winner, you cannot realize your wish, and you may not necessarily become the final winner.

Shi Chen just showed him a little bit of his strength, and he gave up easily.

As for whether he believed that Tokishi would save the world on his behalf, Emiya Kiritsugu was not 100% sure, but it was enough that Tokishi did not use force against him.

By the way, Shichen also knows the current timeline, 1989.

There was still one year left until the Fourth Holy Grail War. He remembered that this was exactly the time when the poor girl got into trouble.

You still have time.

"Dad, are you done?"

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Illya noticed him and immediately ran towards him and hugged his legs.

Shichen held Illya in his arms and walked towards the dazed Fulilian: "It's done~"

"Then Dad, can you play with me?"

"of course can."

"That's great!" Illya hugged Shichen's neck excitedly and kissed him on the face.

"Hmm?" Shi Chen blinked.

"No, no?" Illya asked carefully.

"Of course." Shi Chen smiled at her.

"Then I want this side too!" Illya leaned over and kissed Shichen on the other side of his face.

chirp~

Along with the soft touch, there is a very pleasant sound.

"Good girl~" Shi Chen couldn't help but rub his face against Illya's smooth face.

"Hehe~"
