And that is all her memory of her father.
"Let me... meet him," Mordred said.
She looked at Shirou with a weak but tough tone, her eyes...like a request and a begging.
Just...
"I'm sorry, Mordred." Shiro shook his head and refused.
He said: "If I transform, what you see is definitely not the person you want to see, but just...just the ‘Eternal King’."
Yeah.
That's it...
There was a touch of loss on Mordred's face.
What if I saw it?
The true eternal king has already fallen asleep in Avalon. Even the eternal king summoned is nothing but the "eternal king" influenced by legend, history and epic.
Just...
At this moment, Mordred found out.
It turned out that it was not accidental that he was summoned by the Holy Grail.
Relieving that woman is only a superficial desire. Deep down in her heart, she actually has a desire that only belongs to her.
And the Holy Grail discovered the real desire that she hid in her heart, so she got to the lower bounds.
That wish was neither to defeat the Eternal King nor to liberate that woman, but belong to her, only belong to her, and make her feel happy and yearning.
The ridiculous desire that has been longing for since I was young, and then buried deep in my heart.
Yes
What she wants,
Just a complete home.
There is no king, and there is no great task that must be accomplished, just a...
Just one, complete...
With a sigh, Mordred put away his unrealistic fantasies and thoughts of sadness.
She has overcome the tribulation and created her own great cause. The reality is already like this, and she doesn't need to be like a naive child to sink into the illusion that shouldn't exist.
Mordred turned his back, leaving Shirou with that young back, so Shirou couldn't see her face clearly.
She said in a calm tone: "I've already lost, I've lost completely. If you want to kill me, or you want to leave, please."
Lost?
Yes.
Even if there are other means, but this is...
Yes, this is enough.
The Eternal King will not come, and even if it does, it will not be the one she wants to see.
So, this is enough.
Her holy grail war is over here.
"Mordred..."
Seeing Mordred's young back, Shirou pondered for a moment, and then stepped towards her.
He has done many things, many of which are heroic feats for others.
But, does he really want to be a hero?
It's not.
This can be seen from the fact that he only admitted that he is a hero not long ago.
In fact, he has always regarded himself as an ordinary person in his heart.
Ordinary man.
Survive the Fourth Holy Grail War, defeat Fu Hailin, save Britain, kill Zhu Yue, repel the false gods...
Counting carefully, he has done so many things.
But...
There is no one that he is willing to do from the heart.
Why did he come so far?
Investigate the reason... In fact, I just cherish the things around me, and I don't want to destroy the things I cherish.
He is willing to fight the cruelest enemy, and is willing to fall into the endless vortex of battle, but he is not willing to take any damage to the things he cherishes.
Yes, the reason for the initial departure was not because of a magnificent wish, but just to protect what I cherish.
However, not long ago, he watched the painful departure of his cherished friend because of the influence of the "Eternal King", but he was indifferent.
From that moment, he understood that he could not become the eternal king.
Can't become the eternal king at will.
The Eternal King is just a weapon he uses to deal with the enemy, not to hurt himself or hurt his cherished sharp knife.
Therefore, he was unwilling to transform into the eternal king in front of Mordred.
He--, no longer wants to be affected by the legend.
However, this is an extremely disappointing ending for Mordred.
However, Mordred accepted, Fang Shirou left.
But... Shirou gave up and left.
He walked straight towards Mordred.
