Chapter 38

(Waver Velvet)

"King, this question should be B."

Tokiomi Tohsaka says respectfully to Gilgamesh, while also reminding Kirei Kotomine and the others on the side.

"Tohsaka, are you teaching me how to do things?"

Gilgamesh glares, very displeased.

"Please forgive me, King..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka immediately lowers his head.

Gilgamesh: "Hmph!"

This guy is no fun at all; he really needs to find some amusement for himself.

"Iris, are you okay?"

On Irisviel's side, Artoria notices her expression has been off for a while and speaks up with concern.

"Ah, it's nothing."

Irisviel forces a smile.

Although she doesn't know the answer to this question, one thing is certain.

That is, Shirou Emiya cannot be the child of her and Kiritsugu Emiya.

After all, by the time this Holy Grail War ends, she will likely no longer be in this world.

"Could Shirou really be the child of Kiritsugu and Maiya?"

Looking at option B, Irisviel's mood is a bit strange—uncomfortable, yet carrying a trace of comfort.

"That's fine too; at least there will be someone to accompany Kiritsugu after I'm gone."

"And Shirou looks like a good kid; he and Illya will surely get along well."

Artoria is silent for a long while before speaking: "Um, Iris, how should we choose?"

Irisviel comes back to her senses and says: "Let's each pick one, B and D."

【Answering time has ended; we will now announce the answer.】

【In the video, raging flames appear first, then the camera zooms out, and everyone finally sees what is burning.】

【What is burning is actually a city!】

Waver: "This is Fuyuki City! What on earth happened?"

The burning city in the video is one everyone is all too familiar with—isn't it the very Fuyuki City they are currently in?

Kayneth: "Could it have been caused by some Heroic Spirit?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "To have caused such massive destruction..."

【The camera focuses on a person wandering aimlessly in the ruins—it is Kiritsugu Emiya.】

【He is seen carrying Avalon, his eyes vacant, the whole person like a walking corpse.】

【Suddenly, as if he has discovered something, he rushes to a ruin and starts digging frantically.】

【A moment later, he pulls a red-haired little boy out of the ruins.】
