Kiritsugu POV:
Silence remained after I had finally revealed myself Shirou's face was stuck in shock "Ho-how?! I saw you die and why do you look so young dad?" he demanded while Saber remained silent but if one paid attention you could see anger flash through her eyes while the grip on her invisible blade grew tighter but then she perked up sensing a servant approaching.
"I'll shall return soon Shirou...Kiritsugu when I return, we will be having words." Saber informed grabbing our attention before leaping out of the yard I turned back to Shirou grabbing him by the Shirou "look son I promise to explain everything to you but first we have to stop Saber from killing someone."
Shirou's eyes widen turning to the direction Saber went "kill?! We have to stop her," he said getting ready to dash after her, but I stopped him "yeah no you're going to stay here I will go after her I don't want you getting in danger your already injured enough as it is." I said leaping after Saber without giving him time to reply.
By the time I got to her location I saw her clashing with Archer while the Tohsaka girl laid kneeling on the ground grabbing my Contender I reloaded it with an ordinary bullet and shot it right at Saber who dodged it with swift precision she turns to look at me with a glare "what is the meaning of this Kiritsugu?!" she demanded I gave a sigh and replied "they are not enemies Saber they are on our side" I explained jumping down next to her.
I turned my attention to both Rin and Archer whose own gray eye were wide but upon noticing my gaze he schooled his features back together in a stoic demeanor it was also at that moment Shirou came running in "Saber! Dad! Are you guys alright what's happening?" He demanded once more.
Rin stood up "Well for starters good evening to you, Emiya-kun."
-timeskip in the Emiya household-
I sat next to Rin while both Saber and Shirou gave an intense stare at me, I can also feel Archer's burning gaze from the kitchen "well I guess you two might have some questions that you would like for me to answer so go on ahead and ask them," I said in a calm tone while Rin calmly drank her tea.
Saber looked like she was about to speak first but it had been Shirou to ask first "pl-please tell me how your alive dad for god's sake I saw your body buried?!" Shirou's question captured both Saber and Rin's attention.
"Well, I think in order to properly explain this I will need to tell you all about...the fourth holy grail war the one in Saber and I had participated in," I said before going in depth about everything about how the Einzbern's had hired me, how I met Iri and had a child with her, the start of the holy grail war, the death of both Maiya and Iri, my battle with Kotomine, and finally the corrupted grail which had caused not only the great fire but left me cursed by all the worlds evil.
"That day when we were talking under the moon, I felt content to let go of my life so I did. Eventually I found my soul drifting away returning back to the root itself but that's when things took a turn the moment my soul entered the root it gave me information of the future along with alternative timelines.
The moments after all of that were confusing, I was a complete mess when I had regained not only my life but a new rebuilt body it was as if though death was just a dream and I had just woken back up.
It took everything I had at the time to remain calm and get out from the country I knew I wouldn't be able to mentally recover here so I stayed in isolation within the country of Iraq for a year until everything clicked back into place.
My current appearance is the result of me using my magecraft nonstop without rest," I explained in a solemn tone taking small pauses in between to let the information digest for everyone.
Shirou looked down in silence, Saber own eyes were lost, and Rin herself was gritting her teeth "damn it so you mean to tell us that not only did you make contact with the root but you're also telling us that the holy grail has been corrupted!" she all but shouted.
"It's unfortunate but yes if you want to blame someone you can blame the Einzberns for the stunt they pulled by trying to summon the avenger class god of evil during the third grail war," I replied calmly.
"...So now what do we do then if all the grail does is corrupt the user's wishes, then what's the point," Rin said calming herself down I looked at Saber and she looks back at me.
"We can't let anyone complete their wish so we have no choice but to destroy the grail but only something powerful like Saber's noble phantasm can completely destroy it.
However, it will be difficult with the other masters and servants being against us...especially the Einzbern representative" I said with a small tone of sadness near the end for there was no doubt that Illya already hated my guts damn that bastard Acht I cursed in my heart.
I breathed in deeply to calm my nerves down "regardless I think we should discuss this in more depth tomorrow when everyone is well rested Tohsaka-san I ask that you also stay here for the night there is something I need to inform you of as well regarding your father that I did not tell," I advised.
Any rebuttal that Rin was going to say quieted down upon hearing that I had information regarding her father she glances up to Archer who was leaning back against the wall in silent contemplation until he nodded giving his approval and finally, she sighs "very well we shall stay the night here with Emiya-kun, Saber, and you but only because of the information you have to offer," she replied.
I could only nod in response as Shirou got up to gather extra pillows and blankets, I went outside to the porch and sat down in the same spot where I died look upon on the full moon I sighed "come out son I know your there you don't have to hide from your old man," I called out.
Motes of blue particles appeared until it cleared away revealing Archer who gives me a stoic like glare, I internally winced at the sight "so...you know?" he questioned.
I hummed taking in the sight of the moon "why don't you come sit down next to me Shirou," I said patting the spot next to me "don't call me that I am not him anymore! And I am not your real son either!" he exclaimed with hidden rage.
I chuckle hiding the pain I felt from his words "it doesn't matter if you're from a different world or time at the end of the day your still my kid just as I am your father...now like I said before come sit and then we can talk," I said in a stern tone at the end.
There was a moment of silence until Archer sighs and very reluctantly sat down next to me "hmmm now isn't this a nostalgic scene?" I question.
Archer looks up at the moon before replying "yeah...it is old man," he said in a much softer tone that lacked his previous sternness to it.
My lips spread themselves up into a small smile.
