Chapter 165: Noble Phantasm Against Emiya Kiritsugu

Thank God, thank you magic, thank you sorcery, thank you Emiya Kiritsugu, thank you for the great spirit of contract, thank you for the almighty - self-restraint clause!
Trust between people is a rare thing.

In order to gain trust, one must either have someone of high status and noble character to guarantee him - just like the famous King Arthur Altria guaranteed for the swordsman Matou to Diarmuid.

Trust will not be generated in people's hearts unless they have shared hardships for a long time and gone through the test of time.

But this world is different. The reason why this world is wonderful is because of magic, or the existence of mystery.

Simple self-restraint clauses can solve many things that take a long time to prove.

For example, how to prove one's sincerity to Mrs. Alice.

Standing between Saber and Mrs. Irisviel, Kenshin Matou took out the self-restraint clauses he had written long ago, threw them to the frowning Mrs. Irisviel, and rubbed his left thumb.

Self-restraint clauses are indeed convenient to use, but they are not without side effects.

——The constraints of this article must be written in your own blood!

Not everyone in this world is as ruthless as Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei. Kenshin Matou is just an ordinary person and he is also afraid of pain.

Although there was healing magic, almost immediately after taking the blood, Kenshin Matou performed magic on himself to heal the wound, but the pain in his finger seemed to still exist.

but……

After thinking about the purpose of doing this, Jianchen Jiantong felt that it was worth it.

Such a big white-haired lady, plus after success, she will be given a cute Illya and two pretty maids who are no less beautiful than the heroine. No matter how you think about it, it's a huge profit.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

Lang Tao didn't understand human emotions and continued to work in the same monotonous way, not caring at all that there was a pair of long, white and smooth legs in his room.

The owner of the long legs, Mrs. Alice, did not care about the cold sea water sticking to her legs, forming dense water droplets that kept sliding down, giving her an itchy feeling.

Compared to the sense of touch in the legs, the vision of the eyes brings greater stimulation.

The self-restraint clause was something that Irisviel was very familiar with. Not long ago, she had signed it with Kenshin Matou, but until now, the 24-hour agreement in the restriction had not been completed.

Now, Jianchen Matou took out the restriction again, which made Mrs. Irisviel think of bad things.

Ahad, the current head of the Einzbern family, is a traditional and professional magician = 0.8 Matou Zouken ≈ N + beasts, but he still doesn't have any perverted hobbies.

He did not instill anything into Mrs. Irisviel except some knowledge that only appeared in xx, but he still taught her basic strategies and even more profound strategies.

So, naturally, Mrs. Irisviel would think that Kenshin Matou's current behavior was a display of his claws and his dissatisfaction!

Although not even half of the twenty-four hours have been used, this time is still only one day.

Compared to the restrictions that Kenshin Matou imposed on himself, this condition of playing together for 24 hours was really too simple and seriously disproportionate to the price paid.

This situation had to make Mrs. Irisviel believe that Kenshin Matou had other intentions.

Gradually eroding?

Disintegrating bit by bit?

Thinking of this, Irisviel opened the second self-restraint clause in front of her with a heavy heart, which had an interval of less than twelve hours.

[Binding technique: Target: Jianchen Matou. ]

[The seal of the Matou family ordered: Subject to the following conditions being met: The oath will become the subject of the commandments, without exception.]

[Oath: After killing Emiya Kiritsugu, within 20 years, Matou Kenshin must fulfill Emiya Kiritsugu's dream - everyone in the world can live happily.]

[Condition: Die peacefully, Emiya Kiritsugu. I will take good care of Irisviel and Illya.]

"..."

This……

Kenshin Matou stole a glance at Mrs. Irisviel, ready to endure scolding or questioning.

But Irisviel showed a calm attitude.

"What is your purpose? What do you want from me and Illya?"

Alice was really confused. She didn't know what was there between her and her daughter that was worthy of the person in front of her's attention.

It’s not that Irisviel is unaware of her own beauty.

Rather, she felt that appearance was... not really a condition.

Irisviel had seen dozens, if not more, of people with her appearance.

To put it bluntly, androids are, after all, objects that can be copied. Even if the magic of magic gives androids the ability to think, it still cannot change this fact.

"Purpose?"

Kenshin Matou was very happy that he was not scolded or questioned, but Mrs. Irisviel's question puzzled him.

"Didn't I make my purpose clear from the beginning?"

"Madam, from the beginning to the end, my only goal has been you and Illya."

Matou Kenshin spread his hands, admiring Irisviel, who was glittering under the quietly rising moonlight.

Alice pursed her lips and asked, "I'm asking, if it's an artificial human, you can get it in many ways, Grandpa Ahad..."

"No." Jian Tong interrupted Irisviel, "Madam, you don't understand one thing. I don't like androids, but you, the person named Irisviel. It's just that you happen to be an android."

"I have an irreconcilable hatred with Emiya Kiritsugu. This hatred cannot be explained in a few words, and I have no intention of explaining it to you. After all, Emiya Kiritsugu is your husband no matter what."

"Due to our different standpoints, we are destined not to be on the same ground. But it doesn't matter. My enemy is only Emiya Kiritsugu, and that's enough."

"Madam, this restriction is not for Emiya Kiritsugu, but for you. I will give it to Emiya Kiritsugu for your sake. This is the last bit of decency I will give to him."

"Before he dies, I will give him a chance to sign the restriction."

"I sincerely hope that you don't have any stupid ideas. After Emiya Kiritsugu dies, you still have Illya. Think about Illya, ma'am."

"If Illya loses you, what kind of life will she live? And how will Ahad, the head of your Einzbern family, treat the Holy Grail container? You should know better than me."

"So, Madam, for Illya's sake, live well after Emiya Kiritsugu's death. At least... you may have the chance to witness me fulfill Emiya Kiritsugu's dream."

"..." Having said this, there is no need to say anything more. No matter how many words are used, they cannot move a stranger's heart, not to mention that the person who is telling the story will kill her husband tonight.

"Saber is gone, Diarmuid can't wait any longer."

Feeling Diarmuid's chilling fighting spirit, Kenshin Matou laughed in silence. Although he did not respect Diarmuid very much, he did feel a sense of absurdity as if the rhubarb he had raised for many years suddenly showed its teeth to him.

"Mrs. Irisviel, if you don't want to go, you can choose not to go. After all... Emiya Kiritsugu's death is still too heavy for you."

Kenshin Matou turned and walked away without looking at Irisviel behind him.

Although Saber was worried about Irisviel's condition, she was in no position to persuade her because she knew what her future husband had experienced with Emiya Kiritsugu.

Irisviel watched Kenshin Matou and Saber leave. Standing on the flooded beach, she thought for only a second, then ran to the beach barefoot, holding the restraint in her hand.

Almost instinctively, she used a cleaning magic to remove the water marks on her legs, then Irisviel put on her boots and chased after him.

It was impossible for her to just stand there and do nothing, and it was even more impossible for her to watch her enemy take Kiritsugu Emiya's servants to kill Kiritsugu Emiya.

Even though she didn't know how to stop him, Irisviel followed him anyway.

·
The warehouse street of the Mion River.

Diarmuid stood on the open ground and had been waiting for a long time.

As a professional and loyal knight, Diarmuid told his master about his experience as soon as he saw Kayneth.

Kenneth El-Melloi was curious when he learned of Diarmuid's experience. He was very interested in the eight-year-old boy who had made an agreement with his servant, and he was vaguely wary of Altria.

The name of King Arthur is something that no one can ignore.

"The seventh generation head of the Matou family, an ability that Diarmuid cannot see through, and... Arthur, the king of Great Britain. This war is really interesting."

Even though his opponent's apparent strength was so strong, Kenneth did not feel any fear in his heart.

As a Heroic Spirit, Diarmuid is definitely not bad, but he is definitely not as famous as King Arthur. However, the Holy Grail War has never been just a war between Servants, but also a war between Masters.

The slight setback at the Servant level could not extinguish Kenneth's fire of desire, and he planned to add some chips to his victory at the Master level and crush the competition.

"It's already this late, and he hasn't come to keep his appointment yet. Is it possible for a magician from a small place, even if he is the head of a magician family with a long tradition, to be so virtuous?"

Kenneth, hiding in a dark corner high up, muttered to himself, and once again looked down on the seventh-generation head of the Matou family, whom he had never met.

At the young age of eight, his abilities were so great that Diarmuid could not see through them. Without a doubt, Kenneth judged him to be a magician who possessed the family heirloom.

After all, even if one is extremely talented, it still takes time to realize one's talent.

It is hard to imagine how profound his skills are at the age of eight.

While Kenneth was thinking silently, Emiya Kiritsugu and Maiya, who had noticed Diarmuid's aura shortly after it was released, also quietly climbed to a high place in the warehouse street, a blind spot for Kenneth.

Kiritsugu Emiya, who was unaware that his Servant, the famous King Arthur, had betrayed him, was now lying on the ground, installing his sniper rifle and checking his communication equipment.

“Maiya, can you hear me?”

"I can hear you."

After ensuring that the communication equipment was correct, Emiya Kiritsugu had nothing else to say.

He adjusted the sniper scope and scanned Diarmuid's surroundings with the crosshairs, hoping to discover other masters who were attracted by Diarmuid's aura.

Kiritsugu Emiya cannot aim at Diarmuid with a crosshair, and this is also something that no professional magician can do.

A powerful magus who practices physical skills will have a skill whereby as his physical skills become more powerful, his body's various senses will become more sensitive.

This also means that if Kiritsugu Emiya aims at Diarmuid with the crosshairs of the sniper scope, Diarmuid, as a Heroic Spirit and Lancer, is likely to discover him and expose his position.

As a professional killer, Emiya Kiritsugu would naturally not be so reckless.

"call…"

"No one has come yet? Airi should be nearby. If Saber fights with the Heroic Spirits below, the chances of the other Master showing up will be much greater."

With clear ideas and a clear goal, Kiritsugu Emiya is targeting the Master.

What he didn't expect was that his wife Alice Phil did come, but she brought too many people with her.

"Who is that?"

Emiya Kiritsugu, who observed the swordsman Matou through the sniper lens, raised his head and asked subconsciously.

His unconscious question was received by Maiya who was lying in ambush on the other side. Although she didn't know the specific information about the child below, Maiya still analyzed it based on the known information.

"Among the Masters who may participate in the Holy Grail War, there is no news about people from the ground, but judging from the color of the other party's hair, there is a high possibility that he is from the Matou family."

"The Matou family..."

After hearing Maiya's answer, Emiya Kiritsugu fell into deep thought, and then became extremely puzzled, "Airy, why are you staying with the people of the Matou family?"

……

……

While Emiya Kiritsugu was thinking, Matou Kenshin also narrowed his eyes.

He still didn't know where Kiritsugu Emiya was, but he knew that he was being targeted by Kiritsugu Emiya.

The beggar version of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid he modified is not as effective as the regular version, which is Kenneth's Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that is now hiding in the dark.

But the beggar version also has its advantages.

After weakening various functions, Jianshen Matou only gave the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid the functions of protection and warning, and even used it on the blade for the sake of good steel. The protective function of this beggar version of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was limited to the physical sense.

Yes, the beggar version of Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, physical resistance 99, magic resistance ≈ 0.

In short, this equipment was designed to fight against Emiya Kiritsugu.

True Noble Phantasm against Emiya Kiritsugu.

Therefore, the first moment the sniper rifle aimed at Kenshin Matou, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid lurking in his shoulder issued a warning.

The warning method is simple: pain.
