Chapter 158 Irisviel's Bitter Heart, the Tacit Understanding between Husband and Wife

The sun is shining brightly today, and people should be in a good mood too.

Mrs. Irisviel thought so ten minutes ago. It was the first time she stepped out of the Einzbern Castle, the first time she stepped into the country of her husband Emiya Kiritsugu, and the first time she had the opportunity to travel around with friends.

Everything was apparently so beautiful, but... why, why did it become like this!
In the black car sent by Einzbern to pick them up at the airport, the original driver was driven away by Mrs. Irisviel with a bad look on her face. The one driving the car now is Saber, who has excellent riding skills but has already "defected to the enemy".

Mrs. Irisviel sat in the back seat of the car, curling up her long and beautiful legs that were no less slender than those of the grown-up Miss Rin. Her crimson eyes kept staring at Saber in the driver's seat and Kenshin Matou in the passenger seat.

"..." Mrs. Alice couldn't figure it out even with her clever little head.

Saber has never left Einzbern since she was summoned to the world... How did the other party persuade Saber to rebel?

She wondered, thinking about how to inform Emiya Kiritsugu of this terrible news.

Originally, when dispersing the drivers sent by Einzbern, Mrs. Irisviel wanted to do some small actions, but under the teasing eyes of Kenshin Matou, she ended up doing nothing.

The kind-hearted Mrs. Irisviel did not want the maid driver, who was also a cyborg, to be harmed because of herself.

In the passenger seat, Kenshin Matou was doing the same action as Mrs. Irisviel, but he was looking at one less person than Mrs. Irisviel. He was only looking at Saber, his future wife.

He was very curious about what Saber was thinking now and whether she acknowledged the identity of his wife.

As for the question of whether Saber married him for the country or married him voluntarily, Kenshin Matou had never considered it.

Everything can be fake, except a smile.

The happiest smile that Kenshin Matou had ever had when he saw the treasure named Altria was when Saber gave birth to their daughter Matou Mei after ten months of pregnancy. At that moment, time seemed to have stopped.

If I still doubt my wife's love despite that smile, then I am really unqualified as a husband.

With a sweet smile on his face, Kenshin Matou noticed that Saber's hands were not relaxed while holding the steering wheel. Knowing that he was putting pressure on the other party, he stopped looking at his future wife and turned to look at the car window, looking at the scenery outside through the window.

The greening of Fuyuki City is very well done. There are trees standing on both sides of the road, and there are artificial decorations hung on the branches of the trees. There are all kinds of decorations, including boats, lanterns, and even cute two-dimensional girls (in the shape of paper strips). Matou Kenshin guessed that it should be an activity held by a school such as an elementary school or kindergarten, and these handmade works were placed on the road that students must take when they take the school bus home every day.

Whether there had been a scene like this in Fuyuki City before, Kenshin Matou didn't know, because the pressure of the past was too heavy, so he never activated his dusty eyes and the ability to discover the beauty in life.

Now all the pressures are gone, the grass on Zouken Matou's grave is about three feet high, Emiya Kiritsugu's sniper rifle is no longer an irresistible threat to Kenshin Matou, and Artoria, who "becomes" his wife, can also replace Diarmuid's role. In other words, as long as he wants, Kenshin Matou can team up with Artoria and Uncle Liu to kill Gilgamesh at any time and eliminate those who may pose a threat to him.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, and that is - we still have to get rid of Emiya Kiritsugu first!

Although there is a strange dagger in the old bug's legacy, with a similar ability to Medea's dagger that can cut off the relationship between the Master and the Servant, but... Kenshin Matou does not know how to use it.

A dagger looks so simple, and it can perform its magic just by stabbing it.

But the question is, should I use that dagger to stab Artoria and cut off his connection with Emiya Kiritsugu, or should I use that dagger to stab Emiya Kiritsugu and cut off his relationship with Artoria?

The first choice is obviously stupid!

Even a dog couldn't stab his wife.

The second option was even more of a joke. If he was able to stab Kiritsugu Emiya with a dagger, why didn't he just kill him, instead of going through the trouble of cutting off his connection with Altria?

So... this dagger looks powerful and has the function of Medea's treasure, but in fact it is completely useless.

However, Emiya Kiritsugu had to resolve the problem, and resolve it quickly. Otherwise, by the time he realized that something was wrong, it would be bad for his own wife.

In order to prevent this, just as Mrs. Irisviel, who was sitting in the back row, used a seal to seal Altria's scabbard within her body, Kenshin Matou also sealed the old bug's legacy, the strange dagger, within his own body.

What a joke! When it comes to matters concerning his wife, Kenshin Matou is so serious!
Kenshin Matou loves Artoria very much, and Artoria can also feel Kenshin Matou's love. Even though Kenshin Matou is very small now and this love feels strange, there is still a resonance in the soul.

The proof of this is——

Mrs. Irisviel was very confused at this time, because since she signed a contract with Kenshin Matou, she should fulfill her duty to accompany him on the tour for 24 hours. However, he got into the car with Saber without saying a word from beginning to end, but she felt the tacit understanding between the two.

‘? ? ? ? ’

"Why are these two so compatible? I was the first one to come here... I was the first one to hold hands with Saber... I was the first one to be with Saber..."

Mrs. Alice had a strange feeling, a very sad feeling, but she didn't know where it came from.

Poor Mrs. Irisviel, she is still too pure.

Mrs. Irisviel was mentally healthy. Although Ahad was a beast, he did not have the bad taste of Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei, so... although Mrs. Irisviel felt very strange, she did not know that the strange feeling was because she was being ntr.

Kenshin Matou noticed this situation and felt happy about it.

Especially when his wife Altria didn't notice and Mrs. Irisviel did but didn't know the reason, the joy reached its peak.

They are all his wives, so he doesn’t mind having some strange feelings for them. He is very generous in this regard.

As for Mrs. Irisviel's confusion about the tacit understanding between herself and Altria, Kenshin Matou also knew what it was about.

Again, unlike Kenshin Matou who has no ideals and just wants to be a salted fish and live his own life, the great king of Great Britain, the famous Knight King Artoria, has a lofty spirit of chivalry and is a lawful and good person.

So, without any thought, Kenshin Matou knew what his wife wanted to do.

This was not Mrs. Irisviel's fault. Matou Kenshin believed that if Mrs. Irisviel also had the memories he and Saber shared, she would definitely know the destination of Saber's trip, because -

Saber has only one purpose for this trip, to slay demons and monsters!

The demon slaying here is naturally not the one in mythology or fantasy novels. Unlike Uncle Liu, Saber does not read novels, let alone online novels.

Therefore, the demons that Saber wants to slay are the demons of this world, that is, the magicians who have fallen into the evil path, or the heroic spirits who have fallen into the evil path.

At this point, it is clear who Saber wants to kill.

The Heroic Spirit who descended as a Berserker - Bluebeard!

·
It was clearly daytime, but the room was very dark. This was natural, after all, all the places where light could come in: windows, balconies, door gaps and the like, were blocked by Ryunosuke Uesugi.

This is not because he likes dark environments, although he does like dark environments. The reason why he does this is very simple - he, Ryunosuke Uesugi, is a murderer.

Although he is not afraid of those useless uncles in Fuyuki City who he considers to be useless, Ryunosuke Uryu still feels that he should give them the respect they deserve.

After all, my Chinese teacher when I was a child seemed to have said that polite children will have good luck, right?

Those memories were so distant that Ryunosuke Uesugi could no longer remember them, but... even though he couldn't remember clearly, he was not the only one in the room!

This is a four-bedroom apartment. It looks big, but it is actually not small.

This is not Ryunosuke Ameyū's house, and Ryunosuke Ameyū is not the owner of this house. The reason why he stays here like the owner of the room and arranges the furniture in the room at will is because he has "obtained" the consent of the owner of the house.

As for how to obtain consent, that is not something that needs to be discussed in detail.

The room was dim, but the blood red on the floor was particularly eye-catching. It was obviously just a normal color, and the body of this color was constantly produced in this world, but... it was such a common thing, but it had a magic that could not be matched by the best pigment. Uryu Ryunosuke was deeply fascinated by this color.

Ryunosuke Uryu is from Fuyuki City, but a long time ago, he left Fuyuki City and went to another city.

Originally he shouldn't have come back, but after devouring more than thirty works of art, he felt tired of his own methods.

Whether it was the execution that seemed exciting and fresh at the beginning, or the torture with beautiful wailing as the background music, after gradually becoming familiar with it, Ryunosuke Uesugi lost the novelty and felt it was boring.

The same old prey, almost the same, and the way they struggled before death were no longer enough to make Ryunosuke Uryu, whose threshold had been raised, feel the same way he did the first time.

So, he returned to his hometown, to Fuyuki City.

Ryunosuke Uryu hasn't been back to the city of Tomu for five years. This time, in addition to relaxing, he also came back for a special purpose. This purpose is something that ordinary people will never experience in their lifetime, but almost everyone of Ryunosuke Uryu's colleagues has experienced it at least once.

That is - returning to the crime scene.

After his parents fell asleep, Ryunosuke Uryu quietly got up and went to the warehouse in the backyard alone, where he stored his first piece of art.

Ah ~!

That piece of art was none other than Ryunosuke Ameyu's sister. Even though they hadn't seen each other for five years, his sister was still the same as she was five years ago, without any change. However, maintaining the same state did not satisfy Ryunosuke Ameyu.

He stayed in the warehouse for a long time, leaning against his silent sister, smelling the unpleasant odor on her body, and fell asleep slowly all night.

When he woke up the next day, he found a book among the garbage in the warehouse. As fate would have it, he picked up the book.

He felt happy, he felt excited.

He, Ryunosuke Uesugi, found the feeling of the first time!

The text in the book is very old, and because of various coincidences, Ryunosuke Uesugi understands a little bit about it. If it contains something about God, angels, saving the world, etc., he will not only disdain it, but will also tear it up in anger!

But, no, just as Ryunosuke Uryu felt that the book was attracting him, the content inside did not disappoint him.

What is written in it is not God, angels, or heroes who save the world, but words like devil, demon, Satan, sacrifice, and summoning.

This made Ryunosuke Uesugi excited and feel happy.

Following the instructions in the book, Ryunosuke Uesugi moved his night activities to a place called "Spiritual Vein Land".

This is no big deal. In Ryunosuke Uryu's opinion, the same old prey can no longer satisfy his spiritual needs. His daily hunting is just to fill his stomach. To fill his stomach, he doesn't need to care about the hunting place.

but……

Just as the place with the most flies is the garbage dump, righteous people who like to catch flies usually go to the garbage dump to search.

As a professional hunter who is a headache for people of justice, Ryunosuke Uryu naturally would not go to the garbage dump, so he chose a family of four in a residential area as his base. The happy life of this family made Ryunosuke Uryu feel a bit of fun that he had not felt for a long time.

On a night that was not too dark, with stars in the sky, shining brightly, and with not too strong winds, Ryunosuke Uesugi broke into this family of four.

He is very professional. When hunting, compared to the biting of lions and tigers, he is more like a venomous snake poisoning the river. Although this metaphor is very abstract, Ryunosuke Uesugi is the evolved version of the venomous snake.

Some contraband drugs easily took care of the four people.

Those four days were the happiest four days for Ryunosuke Uesugi in all these days.

On the first day, the lucky person he chose was the father who shouldered the heavy responsibility of the family. That man was a tough guy and never made a sound no matter how he was tortured. However... this did not win Ryunosuke Uesugi's respect, because he had seen many such tough guys, but very few of them passed the test.

Ryunosuke Uesugi put the room's owner to the test, starting with the man's child.

The man did not surprise Uryu Ryunosuke. The man who had failed the test and remained calm under all kinds of torture instruments became panicked as soon as he saw himself setting his eyes on the child.

At the beginning, this situation could still arouse Ryunosuke Uesugi's interest, allowing him to play happily for a long time.

But Ryunosuke Uryu, who was already used to this scene, just felt it was boring, so he didn't play for too long. With a family of four, he played for exactly four days, not a minute more or a second less.

This is Ryunosuke Uesugi's persistence as an artist.

So, after the excitement, Ryunosuke Uesugi remembered the things in the book.

He followed the instructions in the book and used cheap "paint" to draw a magic circle, but... he failed.

Ryunosuke Uesugi, who was a complete amateur, couldn't find his own problem. He looked at the magic circle he had drawn for a long time, but couldn't find any problem. No! He found the problem! He looked at the magic circle in front of him and was happy that he could find the problem.

"I see." He nodded his head. "So it's because there's not enough 'paint'. It seems that four tributes can't satisfy that person's needs. I see. I should be able to find some more tributes, right?"

This is why the scene before our eyes happened.

Ryunosuke Uryu walked to the smallest of the four bedrooms in the house, opened the closet, and picked up the child who was tied up with hemp rope and had a linen cloth stuffed in his mouth.

He picked up the hemp rope that tied the child and brought the child, who could only whimper because his mouth was blocked, to the center of the magic circle.

He controlled the child's head with both hands, made the child look straight into his eyes, and said:

"I'll only say this once. After I let you speak, don't scream. Just answer whatever I ask and I'll let you go home. Do you understand?"

The child who saw hope in despair nodded like a chick pecking at rice. From his eyes longing for "life", Ryunosuke Uesugi judged that he should be a smart child.

He took the sackcloth out of the child's mouth. As he had expected, the child did not scream but looked at him timidly.

"Did your teacher ever tell you that polite children will be lucky?"

In the dim room, on the strange pattern painted with unknown paint, the child's heart was trembling. After he was able to speak, the first question he heard Ryunosuke Uryu ask was this.

The child is obviously a little confused, but some people are born excellent. Even if they are very young, they can demonstrate psychological qualities that adults do not possess.

Although he didn't know what Uryu Ryunosuke was thinking, the child still nodded obediently and said timidly: "I did say that... Big Brother."

Ryunosuke Uesugi could naturally see through the child's "intentions".

He raised his face, showing a gentle smile, and said with a smile: "Okay, big brother is very satisfied with this answer, you can go home."

As he said that, Ryunosuke Uesugi really untied the rope on the child, then took the initiative to step away, allowing the child to run towards the door in panic.

It was getting closer and closer to the door. As long as I ran out, I would be saved. I would be able to see my father, mother, and sister every day, eat the meals my mother cooked, play games with my father, and...

"Click, click..."

The door to the outside world, to the hope of life, is locked...
