Chapter 20: Broly's Bu is Also Bu!
If you don't give it, the Holy Church will act like a biased referee — even though it's the truth, some things can only be done, not spoken.
As for giving it, Saber's left hand was grazed by Lancer's Cursed Lance, and even not in perfect condition she eliminated Caster, who had come looking for trouble with a swarm of Familiars in grand fashion.
That Cleared street was a full three kilometers long; a Saber with such terrifying strength, giving her another Command Spell could be called a greatly advantageous-to-the-enemy act, which makes people very conflicted.
"Give it anyway."
Tohsaka Tokiomi's voice sounded fatigued; last night he wiped the butt of the huge commotion caused by Caster and Saber's battle all night long, and didn't sleep a wink.
"But that way, Saber's side's advantage becomes too great."
"There are still six Master-Servant pairs left; the greater Saber's advantage, the higher the probability they become the priority Target for everyone to Deal With. If it can make the other remaining Masters all Hostile toward Saber, the cost of one Command Spell is nothing."
This was the Conclusion Tohsaka Tokiomi reached after deep consideration; in the Holy Grail War, this small battle royale's Mystery Ritual, the more powerful a combination Exposes itself, the more it will be treated by everyone as a priority Opponent to eliminate.
"However, when you give the Command Spell, you must specially make clear to the other Masters that the Saber pair already has one more Command Spell than others."
"I see, worthy of the Tohsaka Family Head, seeing things thoroughly; let's do it that way then."
Kirei Kotomine praised a sentence, then went to grant Kiritsugu Emiya the Command Spell; at the same time he summoned the other Masters' Familiars, widely announcing Caster's elimination by Saber, and announcing the Holy Grail War's restart.
"Hmph, trying to guide me to target Saber, I'll target you (Touki profanity), damn Tohsaka Tokiomi, I'm just watching you."
This was Berserker's Master Matou Kariya's true thoughts after receiving the info; through Zouken Matou's channels, he knew the Holy Church people and the Tohsaka Family were in cahoots, and he didn't want to target Saber at all, only wanted to target Tohsaka Tokiomi.
"King, a fair and square, fair contest!"
This was Rider King of Conquerors Iskandar's thought, unchanged from last night; and his Master Waver Velvet was somewhat weak-willed, completely unable to change his own Servant's mind.
"Miss Sola, don't be like this……"
As for Lancer's side's Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, he indicated his own Lord (Master) was currently lying on the Bed a Useless Person, while the Lord's Fiancee was seducing him; the Holy Grail War seemed to have been Forgotten by this woman, she only wanted to indulge in his male beauty, unable to extricate herself.
A perfectly good Strategy, forced to show to a group of non-Normal People; useless, not a bit of use at all; the only thing that counted as useful was probably dragging Kiritsugu Emiya into it.
This Magus Killer and Tohsaka Tokiomi had synchronized thinking, seriously matching wits with the air, making preparations to hold their own base, guard against other Masters ganging up to attack him, even planning to utilize the Neighbor Fujimura Family's terrifying boy's power.
The result? Nobody came at all; Broly also didn't go to school because School was suspended today, and while Fujimura Taiga still had to go to school, he ran to the Neighbor's house to see if he could raise the Happiness Values of the two New Wives he met last night.
Then, he successfully mooched lunch at the Emiya Residence; during which, Kiritsugu Emiya pried out much information from the simple Broly's mouth — things like being a Saiyan from Planet Nappa; if not for the boy's Astonishing strength, having cleared the entire street last night, he would truly have thought he was being Deceived.
Of course, Kiritsugu Emiya also Understood in the end Broly's purpose for dropping by; this little guy actually came looking for a Wife, and one of the Wives he sought was his own Wife, which made this Magus Killer Mr. somewhat unable to keep a straight face.
Regarding this, Mrs. Irisviel instead giggled: "Didn't expect I'm still quite Charming, to actually make this child Covet me."
"However, little Broly, I can't be your Wife."
She said this to Broly.
"Why, didn't you shake hands with me?"
Broly was somewhat Confused, asking while shoveling rice.
"Because, I'm a person with a Husband."
Irisviel Explained.
"What is a Husband?"
Broly asked Curiously.
"You don't know Husband, then what Wife are you looking for?"
This line made one want to retort; Hisau Maiya actually retorted out loud.
"Husband, ah, is after forming a marital relationship with someone, the male identity corresponding to the female's Wife identity……"
Irisviel gave Broly a Popular Science explanation.
"Can't you have two Husbands?"
Broly Understood, yet Pursued the Ask.
"Regrettably, the country I'm in is Monogamy, and Kiritsugu Emiya is my Husband."
Irisviel hugging the man's arm, Introduced him to the boy.
Broly looked thoughtful, immediately after revealing a conflicted expression, a look of being Troubled.
"What's wrong, ate too much?"
Seeing this, Irisviel asked with concern.
"No, I'm not full yet."
"Then why this appearance?"
"I'm just thinking, whether to kill your Husband."
Broly spoke truthfully; the moment this line came out, the few people at the Rice Bowl were all Scared a jump.
"Why?"
Kiritsugu Emiya forehead beading Sweat, Carefully asked.
"Because killing you, I can make your Wife become my Wife."
Broly seriously Gave Out his own answer; this answer left everyone speechless, because this logic had no flaw.
"But you seem to be hesitating, hesitating."
Kiritsugu Emiya asked again.
"Because you gave me food to eat."
This is Broly's reason for being Troubled.
Everyone fell somewhat silent; this child has big problems.
"Broly, then why are you so obsessed with finding a Wife?"
Artoria broke the silence and asked; a child of this boy's age didn't seem like one who could be immersed in lust; judging by reaction, also not because of lust. "Finding a Wife, making Wife happy, after returning to Planet Nappa, I'll have food; the more Wives, the happier, the more food can be Exchanged."
Broly still spoke truthfully, but the surrounding people listened with some Inexplicable feeling; yet they Understood the boy's true reason for finding a Wife.
"If it's like that, I have a Proposal."
Kiritsugu Emiya suddenly said.
"What proposal?"
Broly asked curiously.
"My wife I cannot give to you, but my daughter Illya, she is only three years older than you."
"Kiritsugu?"
Hearing these words, Irisviel was somewhat surprised, turned her head to look at her husband, Kiritsugu Emiya nodded to her, the exchange of gazes letting Irisviel quickly understand her husband's thoughts.
"If you are willing, Irisviel and I are willing to entrust our daughter to you."
His wife Irisviel, as the Lesser Grail of this Fourth Holy Grail War, at the moment the Holy Grail descends, it equals her mission ending, which is death.
And he himself may not necessarily be able to guarantee surviving to the end of this Holy Grail War, becoming the last one to obtain the Holy Grail.
Once both he and Irisviel are dead, then who would be able to take care of their daughter Illya, the Einzbern Family?
Indeed, the Einzbern Family might take care of their daughter, if their daughter Illya has utilization value, but now, before them there is an additional choice.
The boy before their eyes, although not well understood, possesses formidable strength beyond doubt, they witnessed the events with their own eyes last night.
In the span of a meal, this child's simplicity was also fully exposed, the boy's simple desire to find a wife gave Kiritsugu Emiya some ideas.
Rather than believing the Einzbern Family would properly take care of their daughter Illya, better to entrust their daughter Illya here to this monster-like boy.
Not to say more, as long as the other party is willing to back their daughter, that is a kind of success, having a fiancé whose strength is not inferior to a Servant, then their daughter would have tremendous value.
Even if they as a couple truly die in this Holy Grail War, the Einzbern Family certainly would not easily abandon their daughter.
Kiritsugu Emiya is also entrusting an orphan, making arrangements for the possibility of himself dying in this Holy Grail War.
And previously not making arrangements was because there was no such opportunity, and no such connection.
As for now, it is because he encountered Broly, this boy possessing monster strength.
After understanding the other party's thoughts, only then did the thought of entrusting their daughter arise.
"How about it, what do you think?"
【Parental Command, Matchmaker's Word】
【Searching New Capture Target, Illyasviel von Einzbern, current Happiness Value 0】
【Prompt, her parents are willing to entrust her to you, whether to invite Illyasviel von Einzbern to become a Crystal Palace Official Member now? (Current Crystal Palace Official Members 0/5)】
Broly was somewhat stunned, but looking at Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel, a segment of information suddenly surfaced in his mind, and he subconsciously recited it aloud: "Bu, drifting all my life, never meeting a wise lord..."
At the very moment he agreed, far away in the Einzbern Castle in Germany, the girl Illya, who was missing her parents and wondering when they would return, suddenly had a segment of text information appear before her: 【Your father (Kiritsugu Emiya) and your mother (Irisviel) are entrusting you to Broly, Broly has accepted, and invites you to become one of the Crystal Palace Official Members, Illyasviel von Einzbern, do you wish to join the Crystal Palace, Confirm or Refuse】
"Eh?!"
Illya did not quite understand the meaning of Crystal Palace, but seeing it was a decision made by her parents, she who was missing her parents only hesitated a moment before reaching out to click Confirm before her, but her finger passed directly through the text.
However, the intent to Confirm had already been received by the Crystal Palace, the Crystal Palace's prompt information continued to change:
【You have become one of the Crystal Palace Official Members, current Crystal Palace Official Member count 1/5, upon reaching 5 Official Members, the Crystal Palace Module will upgrade】
Illya blinked, and saw a chibi avatar of a black-haired boy appear before her vision, beside the avatar written in German 【Broglie】, below a Happiness Value entry, behind the entry displayed 【3→0】.
Perspective returns to Broly's side, before him also appeared a similar chibi avatar of a white-haired red-eyed small girl, beside the avatar written in Chinese 【Illyasviel von Einzbern】, below also a Happiness Value entry, and behind the entry was 【2→0】.
And in the upper right corner there was also a Happiness Points display, at this moment his Happiness Points were finally no longer 0, but had a quantity of 200 points.
That was Illya's Happiness Value having some increase after hearing her parents' news, the Happiness Points transformed from the Happiness Value after Confirming becoming a Crystal Palace Official Member.
Now with the continuous increase of Happiness Value, Happiness Points also continue to rise, but not by hundreds, rather point by point, just in this short while, it increased by two more points.
Beside Illya's avatar, also marked 【Happiness Points continuously producing】 status, and 【Please maintain wife's Happiness State】 slogan, including further back 【If wife feels unhappy, Happiness Points will stop producing】 reminder.
"Please tell me, how can I make your daughter continuously happy?"
Broly was somewhat startled, and when he opened the Exchange Shop on the side with his consciousness, seeing those foods he had eaten before inside, his mood of wanting to make that wife he had not yet met happy directly exploded to the max.
"Ah?!"
Irisviel was somewhat stunned, Kiritsugu Emiya was also somewhat at a loss, just verbally entrusted their daughter, and this boy's eyes lit up, a look full of motivation wanting to make their daughter happy.
But the problem is, their 8-year-old daughter, what counts as happiness? Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel made eye contact, an answer formed in their hearts, but it was hard to say aloud.
Because the boy before their eyes, one look and you know he would truly act for their daughter's happiness.
If they said their daughter now wanting them to stay by her side is happiness, words like that, Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel strongly suspect the boy before them might do something like tie them up and throw them back to their daughter's side.
"Happiness is a hard thing to say, everyone's definition of happiness differs, our daughter Illya is still young, we also cannot arbitrarily infer what her happiness is, must wait until later you and she truly know each other, go understand yourself to know."
"Uh, alright then."
Broly calmed down from his excited state.
"Then what about you, do you want to become my wife?"
Broly asked toward the side, continuing to shovel down rice Artoria.
"This life devoted to Britain, only to save the former country, not for so-called romantic love."
Artoria decisively shook her head and refused, she is the monarch of Britain, would not become someone else's wife.
Let alone becoming the wife of a boy who only wants to eat, and still one of multiple at that.
Broly was somewhat disappointed, this person's body had a Happiness Value as high as 7 points.
