I, Chihiro Emiya, an ordinary 17-year-old girl, should have died in the past fire that turned the entire city into a red lotus hell, along with the residents who were burned to black bodies. However, the moment I was about to lose consciousness and fall to the ground, I was supported by a warm hand on my back.
I vaguely remember that the person holding me up at that time was a man with tears in his eyes. He held my hand tightly and showed me a smile that was warmer than the sunset... The man showed a heartfelt smile like a big child, and kept repeating the words "thank you" to me.
The man said that he still muttered something after that... But I can't remember clearly. Maybe I felt relieved. At that time, my consciousness gradually faded away in the man's arms, and I was cut off from the world.
Emiya Kiritsugu, I learned the man's name. On the hospital bed, I met the man who saved me, the man who calls himself a magician.
After that, Kiritsugu adopted me as his adopted daughter. It was the happiest period of my life. At that time, I would always lie on Kiritsugu's lap, pestering him to tell me various adventure stories. As long as Kiritsugu hesitated, I would rub his fluffy hair even more messily without saying a word. In this way, Kiritsugu would put me on the bed, sit next to me, and start telling all kinds of interesting stories.
I maybe I should have noticed it earlier... Kiritsugu is always at the end of the story - when justice is about to defeat evil, only sadness is revealed in the depths of his eyes
I wanted to apologize to Kiritsugu, but it was too late. Kiritsugu had already left me...
