In Miyu's suddenly widened beautiful eyes, Ritsuka pulled open her coat and took a stack of cards from her bosom—class cards.
This is a type of Mystic Code containing the power of servants. In essence, it can reproduce the power of those heroic figures in history. She had spent a lot of effort to collect all of them.
Unfortunately, Ritsuka herself couldn't use the power of the class cards. Because after she chose to overdraw her future, the '20-sided crystal dice' she had held since a certain event underwent another mutation, and the power of the class cards was rejected by it.
It wasn't exactly regret, but it was certainly a pity; her body was already in tatters.
The class cards in her hand slowly floated up, and Ritsuka looked up slightly.
Flashing through her mind was Sakura's smiling face and the illusory light and shadows of the moment she fell like a flower. Ritsuka pursed her lips and put the doll Sakura had returned into the crystal dice.
Now, she no longer had the capital to save Sakura... "Holy Grail, please respond to my wish."
Hazy light and shadows flickered in mid-air as the seven class cards formed a circle. In the colorful rotation of light, a smiling Ritsuka was reflected as she began to compose her wish for Miyu—a simple wish belonging to an older sister.
Gently holding Miyu's hands and cupping them to her chest, Ritsuka's brow furrowed slightly.
The pain in her body was deepening. Even with the immortality attached to the power provided by the crystal dice, her body could not hold out for much longer.
Furthermore, another nuisance had arrived outside. Their presence was terrifyingly strong, and her perception abilities were frantically warning her.
"Please let the world treat Emiya Miyu kindly. Miyu is a gentle child. Please turn it into a world that will no longer cause her pain..."
"Let her continue to live as a normal person, meet kind people who can take care of her, so she can gain a new family and friends, and be happy forever."
The wish caused the massive magic circle on the altar to react. Essentially, after being modified by the Einzberns, Miyu, who could grant wishes, was enveloped by Ritsuka's wish. A vast pillar of magical light shot into the sky, shrouding the small figure in a brilliant halo.
The rectangular platform shattered. Ritsuka slowly stood up and released Miyu's hand.
"Sister..."
"Miyu! You must grasp happiness. Goodbye... No, it's better if we don't meet again."
Never meeting again was Ritsuka's greatest blessing for Miyu. Her end was already predetermined; even if she began to restrain herself from this moment on, her body would eventually break down and she would die.
Stagnant, massive magical energy filled her Mage Circuits. Blue patterns rose on her left cheek. Ritsuka clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and turned to leave, no longer looking at the scene behind her or Miyu, whose tears were out of control.
Goal achieved. During the time waiting for the Holy Grail to grant the wish, Ritsuka still had work to handle. Her expression relaxed slightly.
Under her determined expression, the backdrop was a grand and magnificent scene. Miyu, within the pillar of light, watched Ritsuka leave. The three hemlines at the end of her black dress fluttered in the air as Miyu was pulled upward by the torrent of light.
