I, the sword in the stone, want to take the knight king

: Two Kinds of Torment

Fuyuki City, Miyama Town.

When Sakura returned to Chancheng’s house, the hands of the clock on the wall coincided with each other.

at noon.

At this moment, less than half an hour had passed since she left here for Einzbern.

This feeling of crossing more than half of the earth in a short period of time made Sakura feel quite dreamy.

——Because of the limitation of magic power, even she, who has long been a magical girl, has never tried this kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation.

Not to mention, after that, Shaar also showed her the true strength that a magical girl with the [Infinite Firepower] BUFF can display.

Although it was only for a short moment, the magical sun that seemed to be able to melt the entire world had already been deeply imprinted in her heart and became a precious memory that she would never forget.

It has also become the ultimate goal she vowed to pursue and surpass.

Meanwhile, on the other side——

“Okay, that’s great!”

It was also the first time for Illya to experience this kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation, while 05 showed a more excited look than Sakura.

“Is this Fuyuki City?”

“Sister, you are amazing!”

She raised her head, looked at the sun in the sky, and subconsciously opened her mouth into an “O” shape.

——Because of the time difference, the current Einzbern is still at three o’clock in the morning.

It was the deepest time of the day and night.

And for Ilya who has never experienced “jet lag change”.

This huge contrast from night to noon in an instant would naturally give her quite a strong visual impact.

This further stimulated her adrenaline and made her temporarily forget the “scary” things she had experienced before.

At the same time, it is worth mentioning that:

“You, what did you just say?”

Standing in the courtyard of Chancheng’s house, Sakura was about to open the door to enter, but was stopped by Yi Liya’s words.

She turned her head abruptly, and looked at the white-haired loli who was actually two years older than her with a look of expectation.

And when the dazed and ignorant Ilya repeated the phrase “Sister, you are amazing” in a crisp voice.

“Mr. Char.”

Sakura, who had already started to cheer in her heart, was strong and calm while calling Char’s name:

“Is there any way to make her stay?”

she asked very seriously.

At this moment, she was really thinking. The possibility of directly killing Emiya Kiritsugu and keeping Illya by his side forever.

only……

“Ugh.”

In the end, Sakura, who was determined to become a magical girl, gave up this plan.

Everyone has “evil” and “dark” thoughts in their hearts.

Even saints are no exception.

But what really determines a person’s character is not the amount of these “evil” thoughts.

It depends on what kind of attitude this person will take to face the evil and darkness in his heart.

“Mother–”

She pushed open the door.

Oncoming is the aroma of food.

And the kind smiling faces of mother and grandmother.

“I brought a friend back.”

“Let her join us for lunch, too!”

“…”

It was a great lunch.

As the most traditional [Yamato Nadeko] type of woman, Aoi Tohsaka’s cooking skills are the best.

Not to mention, today was the first time she had dinner with her daughter since sending Sakura to Matou’s house a year ago.

So, to celebrate the return of my own daughter. She has been preparing for lunch at noon since nine o’clock in the morning.

The common river and seafood are the main dishes today, and the delicious eel rice bowl made Ilya eat two bowls in one go.

– stayed there since birthShe in Einzbern Castle, let alone this kind of river and seafood that has extremely high requirements for freshness.

She didn’t even eat green vegetables much!

In Einzbern, which is surrounded by heavy snow all the year round and has extremely precious supplies, black bread and dried bacon are her main food.

And most importantly, her mother lied to her that this is the most delicious food in the world.

Ilya, who had never seen the world, believed it so naively.

Until now.

“Eat, I can’t eat anymore…”

Holding half a bowl of rice, Ilya touched her bulging belly.

Have a look at the delicious food left on the table in front of you.

On her face, there was an expression of grievance and pain.

Obviously there are so many delicious things, but the stomach is not up to the mark, and there is no room left.

——This may be one of the most painful things in the world.

And at the same time.

When Ilya suffered from the torment of “wanting to eat but not being able to eat”.

It’s in another corner of Miyama Town.

A captured woman is experiencing another kind of torture:

“Where’s the food?”

“Where’s my meal?”

“Even if you are a prisoner, you still have human rights, okay?”

“Don’t you guys care about food?”

…

Captives certainly have human rights.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, Emiya Kiritsugu did not impose too many restrictions on Dinah.

He just asked Arturia to watch over her, not to let her escape from the range of this courtyard wall.

At the same time, he and his killer partner were hiding in the ruins, armed with two sniper rifles, monitoring all suspicious figures.

The keen Emiya Kiritsugu has already noticed that there are many figures in black tights and skull masks outside the courtyard wall.

They are the [Assassins] without a doubt.

However, it is strange.

These assassins gathered outside the courtyard wall did not seem to have any intention of rushing in to save people.

They were standing outside the courtyard wall in twos and threes, like melon-eating crowd watching the excitement, and kept pointing at the layout of the courtyard, as if they were discussing something.

Emiya Kiritsugu guessed that they should be discussing an optimal rescue route.

That’s what assassins do best.

However, the question is… Would it be a little too arrogant for such an aboveboard discussion?

At the same time, what made Emiya Kiritsugu even more puzzling was.

These assassins made such a big commotion, Dinah who was sitting in the courtyard should have seen them long ago.

But why.

The current Dinah has no intention of being rescued at all?

She completely ignored the assassins outside.

Now, in front of Artoria with a gloomy face, she kept tapping on the stone bench in front of her with a branch she picked up from unknown where:

“It’s fine if I don’t have anything to eat.”

“Where’s your meal?”

“No way, your Master, you won’t even ignore your food, will you?”

“Tsk tsk—”
