"That is to say..." Irisviel nodded and said as she walked forward: "Actually, Geese, you look like a talented person on the outside, but are you actually a wanton playboy on the inside?"

"What, what a talented person or something, you praise me so much, hahaha." Xingji was modest without denying it at all, and completely ignored the second half of the sentence.

"It doesn't matter. Although I haven't been in contact with you for a long time, Keith, my impression of you is that you haven't changed since the beginning when you were a cute little Saber. It's worth it no matter how bad your personality is.

He is a trustworthy person." Irisviel waved away Xingke's hesitation.

She relied on her usual intuition to see through part of the essence of Star Moment - most existences may change due to changes in appearance or power. Decades of time and some tragic experiences may also completely change a person.

But these things are meaningless in Xingke.

"..."

Xingke looked at it again, and suddenly realized that Irisviel's personality is really very good. She is considerate and gentle, speaks well, and is so considerate... As a woman, she is simply the best in the world.

The ideal wife for all men.

"Madam, I find that I suddenly fall in love with you, please marry me!~"

"I refuse. I am loyal to my family, Kiritsugu."

"That's such a shame."

"If you can't control your slippery tongue anymore, I can help you remove it, okay? Little Keith~" Irisviel's smile gradually became serious.

"Hahaha, let's tell a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Mrs. Ai Li, don't take it seriously..." Xingke smiled and turned around: "By the way, what are we here for?"

"We want to collect all the underage children in this small village and [abduct] them." Irisviel obviously understood what Xingke's character was, and let Xingke go with a very broad mind.

"Now, Mrs. Ellie, we are obviously standing on the high ground of morality and it is an act of redemption without asking for anything in return. Why not be a little prouder and call ourselves [protection], but instead emphasize that our behavior is [abduction]?" Standing in the village

In a certain corner, Xing Ji looked around, and the fluctuations of magic power extended outward.

"It doesn't have any special meaning. What we did is itself [abduction], and it is nothing but abduction." Irisviel immediately took action when she saw the stars, and stood still waiting for the result:

"Kiritsugu and I took the boat all the way from Europe, and we never got [notarization] from any organization or institution, nor did we have a certain mass base to support our [personal behavior]."

"[Morality] should be based on [being recognized by the public, that is, most people], but we don't have it. Therefore, there is neither [morality] nor [justice], but only [based on our personal thoughts]"

self-satisfaction] behavior and action.”

"And we have no intention of abiding by the [morals] of this village from the beginning, and we are doing some things that they will never allow. Therefore, the words [abduction] and [arson] for our actions are not

Does it seem very suitable?

——The above is the explanation Kiritsugu gave me when we first had a conflict with the local armed forces. Now I am just learning and practicing."

Irisviel imitated Emiya Kiritsugu's speaking style and said it with a cold face.

"...Ha?! Such pretentious beautiful words...are they so beautiful that he can even say the words that I say?" Xingke looked full of surprise and disbelief:

"However, no matter what he said or how we explained it, in the eyes of a third party, in the eyes of the audience behind the fourth wall, what we were doing were just hypocritical acts of charity. Powerful people have no

It’s just an act of mercy from passers-by in the background, this will never change.”

Xingji poured cold water on him without hesitation:

"And whether we give our actions the name of [redemption] or [abduction], in their eyes, we are just engaging in [self-righteous formalism (commonly known as pretending to be 13)].

That won’t change either…”

"Then what should we do?" Irisviel asked following the star's topic.

"We? We just need to work here and complain at the same time. Other than that, we don't have to think about anything else." Xingke smiled proudly:

"After all, fortunately, we don't have the ability to peek into the comments section now, don't we?

As long as we convey what we want to say, it doesn’t matter how others evaluate us?”

Anyway, I can't hear it.

"...?" Irisviel doesn't quite understand why Xingke would worry about something so insignificant. But this does not prevent her from understanding that what Xingke said is based on the fact that they are in an illusory work.

under the premise.

"Could it be that Xiaojis, you want to say..."

"Ah, I found it." Xingke suddenly said: "No wonder we didn't meet any young people along the way. It turns out that all the young and energetic souls in this village are gathered together."

"Gathering together? Are you in school?" Irisviel asked doubtfully. In her impression, there seemed to be no other place where a large number of young people gathered together except school.

But Xingke opened the space door and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ellie, don't be joking. How can there be a school in such a remote place..."

The space door opened, and Xingke and Irisviel moved to the front of a building that looked slightly more elegant and refined compared to the surroundings.

"...It looks like this is a temple, right? A simplified version."

There are human figures made of clay on both sides of the door. There are obviously man-made mural patterns on the pillars and walls. There are wild beasts and human figures on the murals, and there are also fantasy figures that are half human, half beast but not beast. At first glance,

I knew it was a place related to the beliefs of this village.

But judging from the traces of time of the overall building, this place was just built a year or two ago.

"Let's go in and have a look." Xing Ke said, stepping forward without hesitation. According to his perception, all the beings with relatively high soul purity in this land gathered here.

A lot of gray smoke can be seen in the distance. It will not take long to spread to all the flower fields on this land. The commotion of human voices has already spread. All the indigenous people who are conscious and able to move are moving towards

Rush to the location of the fire.

However, it is broad daylight, and the door of this small earth temple is still closed tightly. No one has come out to see the situation. It is definitely impossible to say that there is nothing fishy.

"By the way, I have never used this magic since I learned it. It usually goes through walls or blows up doors——
