Listening to what Alice said, Kiritsugu was very shocked, but his surface was still very calm, making Alice unable to see what he was thinking. Kiritsugu just sat silently on the sofa and watched the various collected messages he had stuck to the wall, and then smoked cigarettes one by one.

Alice didn't say anything, just stood quietly aside, waiting for Kiritsugu to speak herself. The two of them stood silently, only the clocks on the wall were ticking, as if they were constantly urging the two people in silence.

The sun rose little by little, gradually climbing to the highest point. Kiritsugu, who had been silent for a long time, was about to pick up the cigarette again. When he found that the cigarette was gone, he couldn't help but become stunned when he looked at the empty cigarette box in his hand. This was a pack of cigarettes appeared in front of Kiritsugu's eyes with one hand.

Kiritsugu looked up at Alice who was handing her cigarette in surprise. Alice just said lightly: "Smoke it."

Kiritsugu took it straight away, but did not open it. He just looked at the cigarettes with a strange brand in his hand and asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

“What’s the problem?”

"Why are you participating in the Holy Grail War?" Kiritsugu groped and opened the strange cigarette box, took out a cigarette and said.

"I don't know, I said that I am the heroic spirit on the side of Lord Alaya, that is, the guardian. Lord Alaya gave me the task of sealing something and participating in the Holy Grail War... I think it's because of fate... Destiny wants me to meet Artoria again." Alice murmured to herself as she looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Is that right... Then what do you want to know?" Kiritsugu asked, lit the cigarette Alice gave, took a deep breath and then spit out a cigarette ring.

"What the hell is Alice Phil's body?" Alice asked as she looked at Kiritsugu who was smoking.

"How to put it simply, Ari is an artificial human created for the Holy Grail War." Kiritsugu raised his head and leaned on the sofa, looking at the ceiling and slowly told Alice Fir's true identity: "The Einzberen family is the holder of the Holy Grail weapon in the Holy Grail War. Because the Ahad leader was defeated in the last war, he not only lost the servant, but also broke the precious Holy Grail weapon in the war."

Kiritsugu pinched off the cigarette in his hand and continued, "Because the Holy Grail Artifact was broken, the third Holy Grail War was invalid. At that time, the head of Ahad began to reflect on his mistakes and decided to protect the Holy Grail Artifact and prepare to pack a conscious human form for the Holy Grail Artifact. This artificial human being created is Ari."

"..." Alice looked at Kiritsugu silently. She really didn't expect that Alice Phil's identity was actually a container used to summon the Holy Grail. However, this clue was enough for Alice to figure out why Alice Phil's body was so unstable. However, to be safe, she still asked Kiritsugu a little: "Then Alice Phil's body is unstable because of this Holy Grail weapon?"

Kiritsugu nodded and said, "Yes, the Holy Grail will absorb the magic of the defeated Servant to show it in this world, but with more Servant deaths, the Holy Grail instrument in Aili's body will constantly oppress the external appearance, that is, Aili. However, as the war progresses further, it will definitely not be able to maintain human form." At this point, Kiritsugu's voice gradually choked up: "Although I handed the saber scabbard... the distant ideal village... to Aili for the time being, so that I can try my best to maintain Aili's body, but... in the end, Aili will still..."

"So do you know where this Holy Grail Artifact is?" Alice asked seriously at the man full of tears.

Kiritsugu said without hesitation: "Heart...Ari's heart is the instrument of the Holy Grail."

"So that's it, so does Ari have a soul?"

"Yes, the head of Ahad said that Ari is the most perfect artificial human in the world." Although Kiritsugu was surprised by Alice's question, he finally told Alice what she knew.

"That's it..." Alice was worried and supported her chin with her hands and said to herself: "That is,...if... change your heart..."

"No, it's impossible. As long as the Holy Grail Armor is taken out of Alice's body, Alice will die within three minutes. Moreover, the Holy Grail Armor is not something that ordinary people can touch." Kiritsugu, who has been wandering on the edge of life and death for many years, heard what Alice said very easily: "If possible, I would have..."

Alice looked at Kiritsugu and asked, "Mr. Kiritsugu... do you love... Alice Phil?"

Kiritsugu nodded firmly without hesitation. Looking at Kiritsugu's firm eyes, Alice smiled: "Then I received your wish, let's go."

"Go? Go there?" Kiritsugu asked strangely.

"Go and see...the light of miracle!" Alice said mysteriously with a smile.

The sun gradually sinks into the ground. Alice and Kiritsugu return to the new stronghold of Ainzberen in Toshiki City, but the room is empty, Alice Phil and Artoria are not there. Kiritsugu takes out his phone and call Wuya to inquire and learns that Alice Phil and Artoria, including Wuya, went to the Higaki Church District to meet Tosaka Toshiko and discuss the alliance.

After learning the news, Alice and Kiritsugu were helplessly waiting for the return of Alice Phil and the other three in the house. Kiritsugu sat bored in the living room while eating instant noodles while watching TV. Alice was responsible for the guarding around, but the three of them soon came back.

Alice Phil was very happy to see Kirisu. Kirisu pulled Alice Phil into the warehouse inside the house, and then said to Artoria: "Saber, please be responsible for the vigilance work around you."

Artoria nodded and went out to the area to carry out alert work. Maiya looked at Kiritsugu and Alice Phil, then walked out silently and closed the door. Alice Phil asked strangely: "What's wrong with Kiritsugu?"

Kiritsugu didn't say anything, Alice asked seriously, "Alice Phil... would you like to be an ordinary human?"

Facing Alice's question, Alice Phil couldn't help but be stunned. This was her dream wish, but as an Ainzberen woman, this idea would never be realized. Alice asked again when she saw that Alice Phil did not respond. Alice finally reflected and nodded quickly.

"So, are you willing to bet once?" Alice asked seriously: "Are you willing to make a gambling for your future life that determines your own destiny?"

Alice Phil closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then opened her eyes and said firmly: "I do!"

"Are you sure? The bet is your life!"

Alice Phil looked at her husband, feeling the warmth that her husband's hands conveyed to her, and said with a smile: "Then I do, too."
