Mo Shuying's single sentence left everyone present stunned.
No one spoke up immediately, unsure of what to say. This was a very real problem; one wrong word could potentially spark internal conflict.
Tohsaka Rin glanced around, then shrugged first, saying, "I'm already out of the game, so this has nothing to do with me. Do as you please, I have no objections."
At this moment, Tohsaka Rin was even glad that Red Archer had left; otherwise, it would have been awkward for everyone.
Mordred looked up at Saber, then laughed freely and said, "My wish has already been fulfilled, so the Holy Grail no longer has any meaning for me. Master, what about you?"
Mordred looked at Kirei, who had been spacing out. Only when Mordred prompted her did she begin to consider the question.
"A wish, huh? I don't really have much of a wish. Maybe for the Holy Grail to cure my lost sense of taste? No, no, then I wouldn't be able to eat spicy food freely. I think it's better for the Holy Grail to revive my deceased old man, let him take over the management of this area, and then I can finally get some proper rest."
What a grand wish, what a simple idea! This should count as filial piety, right? Reviving her own father, after all.
"Um, your father is?" Emiya Shirou asked curiously.
"Oh, you all know him. Kirei Kotomine is my father."
"..."
At Kirei's words, Emiya Shirou, Tohsaka Rin, and Saber all frowned. Tohsaka Rin coughed.
"Ahem~ So it's Senior Brother. That's good, that's good. But I think reviving the dead with the Holy Grail is disrespectful to the deceased. I think it's better not to."
"Huh? Is that so? Well, alright... It's no big deal, really." Kirei said nonchalantly, then continued to space out, lost in thought.
Mordred looked at Saber. "Father, what is your wish?"
Saber was momentarily surprised, then smiled and said, "I am not a Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War, so I won't compete with you. Besides, last time, I already made my wish and it was granted."
Saber's wish was to return to that day and change her fate of pulling the Sword in the Stone.
Last time, it was her and Emiya Shirou's victory. Saber's wish was fulfilled, and she returned to "that day."
Artoria, who had originally decided not to pull the Sword in the Stone again, ultimately drew the sword once more.
But this time, she was no longer the king who didn't understand human hearts, but a perfect, pure king!
"Originally, I had returned to my own era, but then I was summoned back by Shirou's wish. I answered the call, leaving only that pure, perfect me behind. The me now is just an ordinary person, and this is the life I want."
At this moment, Artoria was just a happy girl, no longer the King Arthur of Great Britain. Her face even turned a little red as she spoke, seemingly a bit embarrassed.
A group of people looked at Emiya Shirou, most with teasing gazes. Only Mordred glared at Emiya, gritting her teeth. It felt like her own mother had suddenly remarried.
"Hehehe..."
Emiya Shirou could only laugh awkwardly, his mind replaying his own past situation.
Because of two Holy Grail Wars in a short period, the Holy Grail had accumulated a massive amount of Mana. As a result, after the Lancer, Archer, Rider, and Berserker classes were eliminated, the Holy Grail appeared. Finally, Illya sacrificed herself as a vessel, demonstrating the power of Heaven's Feel.
Medea and Kojiro remained because they received a portion of the Holy Grail's energy.
As for Emiya Shirou, he made the wish, "I want all my family back," which activated the full power of the Holy Grail, reviving Kiritsugu and Irisviel.
Artoria also responded to the call at that time and returned to Emiya Shirou's side. Eventually, Illya lost all her energy and memories, becoming how she is now.
Emiya Shirou couldn't bring himself to mention this, especially since Tohsaka Rin had just said a minute ago that reviving the dead was disrespectful to them.
"What about the others?" Mo Shuying looked at the rest.
Luvia: "I don't have any wishes. I lack nothing."
Astolfo: "Huh? Me? Haven't thought about it. I haven't considered it."
Bazett: "...Pay back the debt."
Luvia: "...I'll have August unfreeze your account."
Bazett: "Really?! That's great, Luvia! I never thought you were a good person!"
Luvia: "..."
Cú Chulainn: "Ah, my wish... My wish is that when I'm summoned again, I won't be a Lancer. That class is really not something a Heroic Spirit should have to do."
Cú Chulainn's wish was magnificently ignored by everyone. Mo Shuying just smiled and looked at Miyu and Leonidas.
"What about you two?"
Miyu: "I don't really have a wish. Being with everyone is enough for me."
As Miyu said this, she glanced at Emiya Shirou. The Illya next to her immediately jumped up like a protective little lioness.
"Big brother, you absolutely cannot make a move on Miyu!"
"I wouldn't!"
Emiya Shirou's face darkened.
Leonidas: "Ahem, as for my wish, there's not much to say, actually. A warrior's wish is to constantly fight strong opponents. Being summoned this time, I'm very satisfied!"
"Alright, next up, Illya and Berserker."
"Huh? Me? My wish, this..."
Illya was a bit flustered by being suddenly called upon. She looked up at Heracles, then thought for a moment and said, "I don't really have any wishes, but Berserker does. He wants to go back to the past and save the children who died because of him. I also hope Berserker succeeds."
Illya's words made everyone nod. This was arguably the most meaningful wish so far.
Heracles couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Illya's head, looking nothing like a Berserker.
"That wish is Berserker's, Illya. You can actually make another wish."
A Master's wish and a Heroic Spirit's wish are separate and cannot be mixed.
"Oh, really? I haven't thought of one. Mr. Mo, what's your wish?"
Illya looked at Mo Shuying and asked.
Mo Shuying was suddenly startled. Yes, what is my wish?
To go home?
He now had extra Assassin cards. At worst, he could abandon the Saber card. While it would pain him, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't possibly eliminate Mordred.
In that case, he also had a wish: to go home.
But excluding that wish? What was his wish?
Mo Shuying lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "I hope there will be no more Holy Grail Wars in the future."
"..."
The entire room fell silent again at his words. Saber frowned, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"No, that would threaten the Holy Grail itself. If it were possible, Kiritsugu would have already done it, and he wouldn't have asked me to resolve it with my sword."
"Oh, I was just saying."
Mo Shuying shrugged. If it wasn't possible, then it wasn't. He didn't really care.
Afterward, by unanimous decision of everyone, the final victory was awarded to Illya and Berserker.
Heracles's wish remained unchanged. If Illya had no wish, she could help someone else fulfill one. Everyone had brought up a few, and Emiya and the others could also make suggestions. So,
The nominated wishes now were:
The Lancer's Transformation Plan
The Strong Man's Endless Battles
The Fallen Noblewoman's Desire for Riches
The Silver-Haired Girl's Perfect Body
The final wish would likely be chosen from these four nominations.
