Note: In the vampire system, the Dead Apostles belong to a fairly high being, while the Ghoul is a relatively low being, see the "Tsukihime" series for details.

At this point, there are still fifty minutes left before arriving at the airport. At Natalia's request, Kiritsugu and Natalia begin to make small talk, with topics ranging from their respective situations when they were separated, to the evil deeds of the "Demon Bee Messenger", to the dangers they have encountered in the past.

Natalia praises Kiritsugu as a natural killer, because it takes years of training to keep his actions completely out of emotional control, and Kiritsugu is born with this ability. But Natalia also warns Kiritsugu that choosing one's life path with talent and ability may not be the right one. A person's will and feelings are the key to determining a person's life path. Otherwise, man is not a man, but a machine. Natalia goes on to talk about Kiritsugu's lack of education from her father, and that she is also responsible.

Natalia: "However, I am responsible for the reason why you did not have a father's education. Ah, how do you say that...... In short, there is no way to shirk it. Kiritsugu

: "...... Are you going to be my father?".

Natalia: "Don't confuse men and women, that's rude. At least call me my mother. Kiritsugu

: "...... That's right. I'm sorry. Natalia

: "...... For a long time, I have been alone in the bloody storm. I almost forgot the fact that I was alone. So, ah...... Hehe. This is ridiculous. It's like a family. "

Kiritsugu: "Me

too—" Kiritsugu: "

—I, too, treat you like a mother. I feel like I'm not alone, and I'm happy. Natalia

: "...... I said, Kiritsugu. In order not to be too embarrassed when we meet next time, we will not talk about this topic. Natalia

: "Ahhh Twenty minutes to land. At such a critical juncture, I can't afford to make a fatal mistake just because I think of something funny. Kiritsugu

: "...... I'm sorry. "

There's no need for Natalia to make a crash landing, and she's not going to see Kiritsugu again. Landing a passenger plane full of more than 300 ghouls at an airport would obviously bring disaster to humanity. In order to avoid the expansion of the disaster, the Airbus A300 must not be allowed to land. The only way to deal with the ghoul-laden airliner was to crash into the Atlantic, at the cost of the lives of Natalia Kaminsky and all the passengers and crew.

Kiritsugu, who knows Natalia, knows that she will not choose to give up her life if she adheres to the credo of "survive no matter what". Kiritsugu had been prepared for this. As early as an hour ago, Kiritsugu traveled most of New York to finally buy a military-portable surface-to-air missile on the black market.

Kiritsugu stood on a jet ski floating on the water, waiting for Natalia's plane to appear in his field of vision.

Natalia: "...... Maybe I'm really dizzy. Natalia

: "If it hadn't gone so wrong, I probably wouldn't have said those words for the rest of my life. It seems that the time has come. Isn't it time for me to retire...... "

Kiritsugu: (pretending to be calm, shutting the bazooka over his shoulder, aiming the missile at the airliner)—if so, what are you going to do after that?".

Natalia: "If I'm unemployed—haha, then I'm probably going to be your mother." Kiritsugu

: "You—really my relative."

Kiritsugu launched the missile, which hit the fuel tank under the wing, and the plane tilted down and fell apart, and the wreckage of the plane fell down on the sea level.

The last time Kiritsugu destroyed Natalia's plane

, in order to prevent his father from continuing to research "deathsickness", Kiritsugu killed his father and saved many people he had never met. And this time, in order to avoid the spread of the "Death Bee", Kiritsugu killed his adoptive mother, once again saving many people he had never met. If Kiritsugu's actions and intentions were known, would they thank Kiritsugu and call him a hero?

Kiritsugu: (yells at the sky) "No kidding...... No kidding!bastard!!".

Kiritsugu doesn't want to be honored or appreciated, he just wants to see Natalia again and call her "mother" in person. Killing Natalia is not the ending that Kiritsugu wants, it's just the "right" judgment made by Kiritsugu.

- For Kiritsugu, what is it that is "justice" to kill those who must die and save those who should not die?

There's no going back. Remembering the distant face of the past. In the midst of the dazzling morning sun, with gentle eyes, he asked himself, "What kind of adult do you want to be?"

At that time, Kiritsugu should have replied - if freedom had the power to change the world, if he had a miracle in his own hands, "I will be a partner of justice!"

As a child, Kiritsugu didn't know what price he had to pay for justice, and now Kiritsugu can't turn back. Kiritsugu knew that if he hesitated, what he was looking for would disappear, and all the price he had paid so far would be in vain. So Kiritsugu can only curse and hate while pursuing his ideals, and pray that his ideals will one day be realized.

Kiritsugu's boyhood has since ended, and he is firmly committed to his ideals.

Kiritsugu realized that all life in this world was placed on both ends of the scale of sacrifice or relief, and that no tray on the scale would be emptied, so he decided to be the measurer of that scale: as long as there were more people on one side of the scale than on the other, even if there was only one more, Kiritsugu would exterminate the few in order for the majority to live—whether they were high or low, young or old, just by the number of people. Therefore, the more Kiritsugu saves people, the more sophisticated his killing skills become.

6. Emiya Kiritsugu was recruited by Einzberen and married to Elle to give birth to a daughter, Illya, to prepare for the Fourth Holy Grail WarEinzberen

is one of the three royal families who founded the Holy Grail War system. Einzberen was not good at combat, and his Master was always lagging behind in combat, making it difficult to win in the Holy Grail War.

In the 80s of the 20th century, nine years before the Fourth Holy Grail War. Although Einzberen has always prided itself on the purity of its blood, Einzberen eventually decided to bring in a combative magician from outside.

The eighth patriarch of Einzbelen, Yubstakuhaïd von Einzbelen, took a fancy to the skills of Kiritsugu, known as the "magician assassin". As a result, Kiritsugu was recruited into the clan by Einzberen to represent Einzberen in the Fourth Holy Grail War, which would take place in 1994. The Holy Grail is said to be a universal wish machine that can grant any wish, and Kiritsugu intends to fulfill his ideals and practice his own righteousness - to save all mankind.

Eight years before the Fourth Holy Grail War, Illyasfil von Einzberen, daughter of Kiritsugu Emiya and Alice Phil von Einzberen, was born.

Alice Phil von Einzberen sat on the bed, holding Illyasfil von Einzbelen in her arms, and Emiya Kiritsugu stood beside her.

Ellie and the Illya

Alice Phil von Einzbehren

in her arms are Homunculus, a small chalice cultivated by Einzbelen, who was created and grown like dolls, and did not even understand the meaning of "happiness" until he met Kiritsugu. And her daughter, Illya, was destined to die as an artificial being, the Little Grail, for Einzbelen's tragic wishes.

Although the sperm-egg union is human-like, Illya is indeed the result of alchemy born by Alice Phil as an artificial lifeform - from the moment she appeared in her mother's womb, Illya has been magically manipulated countless times, and her body structure has been completely replaced by a less human-like component than her mother.

Despite the fact that the purpose of the daughter (Illya) was predestined at birth, her mother (Alice Phil) was still happy, loved her daughter and was proud of her.

Kiritsugu: "Ellie

, I-" Kiritsugu: "

-I, one day, will put you to death."

Alice Phil: "I know. Of course, this is also Einzberen's long-cherished wish, and I am here for it. I understand your ideals and have the same aspirations in my heart as yours, and it is because of this that I have come together with you. You brought me this path, and it was you who made me not have to live like a puppet anymore. You don't need to mourn for me, I've become a part of you. So, you just have to endure the pain of missing that part of your body. Kiritsugu

: "...... So, what about this kid......? Not qualified to hold this child.

Alice Phil: "Don't forget, isn't it your dream to create a world where no one needs to cry like you do?"

Alice Phil: "After that, you must come back and hold this child, hold Ilea Sophie—like a normal father." "

In the process of the Holy Grail War, Alice Phil, as the Little Grail, is a necessary tool to complete the ritual. Alice Phil was born for this, so she was destined to die in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Alice Phil's sacrifice satisfies both the sad wishes of the Einzberen family and the ideals of Kiritsu, so Alice Phil can accept her destined sacrifice calmly. It's just that Alice Phil hopes that after this sad wish and ideal is fulfilled, Kiritsugu can enjoy the happiness of being an ordinary human with his daughter, Illyasfil.

7. Emiya Kiritsugu and Kinmine Kiritsu set their eyes on each other

, investigating the intelligence of the Holy Grail War Masters,

focusing on Yenmine Kiritsu. As a mortal who is not a genius, Yan Feng Qili puts in far more effort and intensity than others to achieve, but when he is a little close to the top, he leaves everything behind without hesitation and throws himself into the next field. And in the process of Yan Feng Qili's efforts, Kiritsu didn't feel his enthusiasm at all. Therefore, Kiritsugu judged that Yan Feng Qili was a "dangerous" figure.

In Kiritsugu's criteria, there are many solutions to dealing with "trouble" and there is an 80% chance of winning, while dealing with "danger" requires all-out effort. For Kiritsugu, although Tosaka Tokitomi and Kenneth are strong enemies, Yan Feng Qili's way of survival is even more terrifying. - Yan Feng Qili's heart is completely empty, there is nothing that can be called a wish, but he fights for the Holy Grail regardless of the danger of his life, Kiritsu can't imagine what such a person will do with the Holy Grail after receiving it.

In the picture, Yan Feng Qili is the most concerned

about the other side of the Kiritsu, and Yan Feng Qili is

also eyeing the Kiritsu. Yan Feng Qili has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and he can't feel happiness like ordinary people, so his heart is empty. His father, Yan Feng Lizheng, oversaw the Holy Grail War as a representative of the Church. His master, Tosaka Tokitomi, was one of the masters of the Holy Grail War. His father colluded with Master to secretly help Master win the Holy Grail War. Although she obeys her father and master, she doesn't know what she really wants, so she hopes to find answers from Kiritsugu, who seems to be as empty as he is.

8. Emiya Kiritsugu summons the servant Saber to formulate a strange strategy

that no one can imagineIn principle, if there is no holy relic pointing to the exact origin, the master will summon a heroic spirit (heroic spirit) with a similar spiritual temperament to the master. However, the Avalon of King Arthur's sword scabbard, a holy relic found by Einzberen in Cornwall, was used as a catalyst for summoning, so the manifested Immortal was locked into a specific individual.

Einzberen gave the scabbard Avalon to Kiritsugu, who summoned King Arthur of the Saber rank, Artoria.

Emiya Kiritsugu prepares to summon the Servant, and Alice Phil embraces Avalon.

Emiya Kiritsugu summons

the servant of the Saber rank, Artoria is summoned

by Emiya Kiritsugu Saber Artoria tends to "carefully deliberate on the battle, go to the battlefield and change the action according to the changing situation from time to moment", and dislikes "unfounded operations made up from the planning stage", and the frontal battle is more in line with Saber's aesthetics and can better play Saber's strength, so Saber Artoria and Kiritsugu are completely incompatible. From the point of view of "easy to manipulate", the Servant of the Caster rank and the Servant of the Assassin rank are more in line with Kiritsugu's personality. Also, due to Kiritsugu's lack of mana, Saber's luck dropped.

As a result, Kiritsugu devised a strategy that no one could have imagined in order to make the most of Saber's power, and the Servant and the Master acted completely separately.

The contract between the master and the servant is not limited by distance. No matter how far apart, the Master's Spell is capable of controlling the Servants. As long as the master does not fall into a state of unconsciousness, he can continue to supply magic to his servants. The reason why the Master wants to stay with the Servant is that the Master needs to judge the various combat situations (rather than leaving it entirely to the Servant's own judgment) and command the Servant on the spot. This is the basis of this chitzer.

In addition, compared to Kiritsugu, Alice Phil and Saber are also in a better relationship. What's more, Alice Phil, as a small chalice, is a necessary condition for the advent of the grail. Therefore, even if Saber wanted to betray the Master, he would not kill Alice Phil.

As a result, Alice Phil was appointed as Kiritsugu's agent to supervise Saber's actions, disguised as the Lord, and participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War with Saber who came to Fuyuki City, Japan. Legend has it that King Arthur's scabbard, which can heal the wielder and cause aging to stagnate (on the premise that the original owner provides magic power), is also buried in Alice Phil's body.

On the other hand, Kiritsugu plans to have her female assistant Maiya Kuyu cooperate with her in the covert operation. Kuyu Maiya was picked up by Kiritsugu on the battlefield. Kiritsugu had worked with her for more than a decade, much earlier than he had known Alice Phil. Kiritsugu gave her a name, a nationality, and taught her knowledge and skills. Kiritsugu's heavy blood debt is unknown to Alice Phil, but Maiya Kuyu does. Kuyu Maiya is responsible for assisting Kiritsugu in his secret business, as well as comforting Kiritsugu physically and emotionally.

The Holy Grail War is about to begin, and the seven Masters have summoned seven servants of different ranks.

Among the three of the Miya, who were the builders of the Holy Grail War system, Emiya Kiritsugu represented Einzberen and summoned Artoria (King Arthur of Ancient Britain) of the Saber rank, Tosaka Tokitomi represented the Tosaka family and summoned Gilgamesh (the hero king of the Sumerian civilization) of the Archer rank, and Maki Goose Night represented the Maki family and summoned Berserker Lancelot (one of the famous knights of the Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur).

Tosaka Toshitoki, the head of the Tosaka family who participated in the war, and Yan Feng Lizheng, the representative of the church who is a neutral overseer on the surface, secretly hooked up. As the son of Yan Feng Lizheng and a disciple of Tosaka Shichen, Yan Feng Qili openly participated in the war independently and secretly assisted Tosaka Shichen. Yan Feng Qili summoned the Assassin Hassan (one of the leaders of the Assassination Order Assasin).

In the Magic Society/Clock Tower, Kenneth Ermelo Archibald is a regular participant, summoning Dilumudo Audina of the Lancer rank (warrior of the Celtic Knights of Fiona), and Weber Velvet, a student of Kenneth, steals the relics prepared by Kenneth and summons Iskandar of the Rider rank (Alexander of Macedonia).

Psychologically problematic homicidal passerby - Ryunosuke Yusheng summons Gilles de Ray (French marshal who has become insane because of Joan of Arc) of the Caster rank.

Theoretically, they will fight in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and the surviving group will receive the almighty Wish Machine, the Holy Grail.
