the living [comprehensive]

Emiya Shirou stood on the hill, staring ahead with his eyes wide open.The oncoming wind tore at his wound, and the sand under his feet was already wet with blood.

——The battle is not over yet.

Shirou wiped the blood off his cheek, and looked at the Heroic Spirit standing on the high ground.

With an impeccable posture, the tall archers stand on the top of the hill full of swords, standing between the sky and the earth.In the hand of the heroic spirit, the treasure from another era resounded in the cold air.The wind was wrapped in a murderous aura like a blade, and it blew towards the boy's face.

"Surrender, kid. If you don't stop, you will die."

The heroic spirit lowered his cold gaze slightly, and shot at the boy like a sharp knife.The souls connected to each other made the young man understand the content in the eyes of the heroic spirit, and even the inhuman voice of the other party, which only existed and imagined, vaguely echoed in his heart.

"Surrender is the ideal death!" The boy gritted his teeth and said his answer.

Hearing this, the murderous aura emanating from Yingling's body became even more intense.The boy settled down, and turned his gaze to the gleaming sharp blade in the heroic spirit's hand.

It is almost impossible for him to defeat Archer.After all, my fighting skills all come from this guy who walked from the flames on blood.

Moreover, the person in front of him is his ideal "self".

——However, you have to prove yourself here!

The boy finally grasped the sharp blade tightly and launched a firm charge.

Compared to the bruised and bruised boy, Heroic Spirit was almost at leisure.He watched the young man skim across the ground riddled with swords, and slashed the sharp blades in front of him one by one.

The man's expression was calm as if nothing had happened, and his eyes were filled with firm and cold killing intent.Facing the young man rushing towards him, he raised the knife in his hand.

However, turning a blind eye to the attitude of the heroic spirit who wanted to kill him, the boy launched a desperate attack.

There was a hint of wavering in Yingling's eyes.

The cold murderous aura dissipated as silently as smoke and dust.Heroic Spirit maintained the posture of holding the sword high, and fixedly watched the boy's figure with steel-gray pupils.

The young man who caught his eyes was covered in blood, but he kept moving forward.

His lips moved, but no sound came out.

The mind became more and more chaotic due to the unprecedented high-intensity battle and the scars all over his body. The young man who concentrated all his remaining consciousness on this blow didn't even realize the opponent's hesitation.With all his strength, he stabbed the knife out.

Swish!

His hands trembled slightly because of the clear touch of cutting flesh, but the blade in the boy's hand still pierced the man's chest firmly——

On the dimly lit hills, bright sparks exploded.The magic power spread like a wave, tearing apart the stagnant air.When the storm subsided, the Sword Hill was completely shrouded in darkness.

After completing the mission of the battle, the sharp blade formed by the condensed magic power disappeared into the air overwhelmed.The boy held the last ray of magical power in his palm, like a dying person holding the last strong desire.

As the last ray of light in the dim world faded away, the boy also turned his back on the heroic spirit and walked away.With difficulty, he walked slowly towards the highest hill.

——Behind the strongest and darkest obstacles, there must be a few stars that can illuminate everything.

——After defeating the ideal "self" and proving the ideal, I must be able to go further.

However, the boy failed to see the scenery on the other side of the mountain after all.

Due to the loss of magic power, it is difficult for the heroic spirit to maintain the existence of this space.The tearing pain all over the body became more and more vivid; and the boy returned to the previous castle in the blink of an eye.

Come back to the present world.The boy thought dazedly.His body leaned forward weakly, and was supported by the red heroic spirit in front of him before he fell.

"Archer," the boy said softly with mixed feelings, "I won."

"Yeah. Also, my defeat."

The Heroic Spirit who answered in a deep voice seemed calm.The previous anger against himself has disappeared without a trace, replaced by the relief of letting go of everything.

I should have been recognized by Archer, right?This guy who became the object of his yearning in another time and space, and became a heroic spirit after death.

The young man who was thinking this way felt inexplicably depressed.

"I, this Heroic Spirit who is Archer, is the ugly and ridiculous form that Emiya Shirou evolved to realize his ideal." - This is what the other party told himself.And from the other party's description, what I saw was darkness deeper than the night.

As a dying person, the white-haired man staggered with wounds all over his body, endured the pain and came to the top of the hill.The sharp weapon that penetrated the body could no longer bring more pain, and the tragic fact of being betrayed by his companions did not make him feel resentful.With the thought of "at least saving many people", he smiled contentedly.

However, his life was imprisoned at this moment.In an unimaginably long time, the man who stood on the hill of swords waiting for the dawn could never wait for the rising sun.

He who had to kill to save others, even after death, could not escape this desperate cycle.The heart that once knew nothing about the cruelty of ideals was finally completely shattered in this long process.

What was originally a pure and beautiful wish brought endless pain.The other party wants to completely obliterate himself who is still in a state of ignorance, just to avoid the ideal ending?

However, this guy, who was suffering and regretting because of his old ideals, admitted himself...

Shirou raised his head abruptly.

The heroic spirit in front of him once again assumed a fighting stance, his steel-gray eyes shining with vigilance.

Has something happened?

The teenager blinked blankly.Confusion appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

The following Holy Grail War will only be more brutal, and the battles will be more frequent. It is impossible to find time to talk to Archer alone.Therefore, there are some things that can only be said at this time.

——You are my ideal.

—— Regarding the ideal of justice, I will not give up.But I will not see you reincarnated in endless sins.

"Archer, I..."

The boy's words were roughly interrupted as soon as he spoke.Without any extra words, the red heroic spirit pushed him away with a wave of his hand.

Shirou, who fell backwards, widened his eyes in astonishment at the scene that met his eyes.

The blond heroic spirit standing on a high place showed an evil smile, and the gorgeous treasure Phantasm shining with dazzling light also appeared in the air out of thin air, ready to go——

For an instant, Emiya Shirou's heart stopped beating.

The Heroic Spirits in front of him blocked all the attacks.Countless treasures pierced through the body of the heroic spirit, and blood splattered everywhere.

The boy stared blankly at the heroic spirit who was kneeling on the ground due to the huge impact, and he had never felt red so dazzling.

"Ar..." opened his mouth, and the young man finally squeezed out a voice from his difficult throat, "Archer!"

***

The Fifth Holy Grail War has finally come to an end.

In front of the immobile boy, the blond girl swordsman swung down the gigantic sword, destroying the holy grail that contained ominous power.

Ah, so, it's all over.The boy thought and closed his eyes.

Speaking of which, he was not killed, thanks to Archer.He feigned death when he was seriously injured, hid to recuperate, and then shot Gilgamesh in ambush; that guy is really good at things like strategy.

Although the whole person was in a dazed state, Emiya Shirou tried his best to open his eyes wide, looking for the red figure.

Everything in front of him was razed to the ground by Saber's blow, which actually provided Shirou with convenience.Without any difficulty, he quickly found the guy who made him miss him.

Belonging to the brilliance of the rising sun, outlines of fine dust flying in the air.The man he was looking for with his eyes stood proudly in the faint halo of Xi.

The bright sunlight that has penetrated a hundred years of time and space and sprinkled on a thousand years of floods finally shines on the face of the heroic spirit.The other party was lowering his head slightly, talking to Tohsaka Rin.

The haze in his heart has been washed away, and the heroic spirit bathed in the sunlight showed a relieved smile.

Could this awkward guy show such an expression in the first place?Such a relaxing moment should have been a long time for him.

Besides... Now that the Holy Grail has been destroyed, Archer, who is a Heroic Spirit, will also return to the Heroic Soul Seat, right?

The girl swordsman who previously destroyed the Holy Grail with her unique skills has disappeared into thin air.When Shirou tried his best to look in the direction of Archer, he found that under the sunlight, the firm face of the other party became a little transparent.

——In other words, the two of us are destined to part here.

The urge to bid farewell to the man in person surged in his heart, and Reishirou violently tried to stand up.However, his exhausted body quickly fell down, and Archer's indifferent gesture of not looking at him from the beginning to the end also made the boy retreat.

The boy who fell on the grass let out a sigh of relief.His disappointed eyes passed over Archer's shoulders and stared into the blue sky.

The two born from the same origin have become completely different souls.

However, the ideals that belonged to each other and were once destroyed to pieces are already on the road again.

This time, I will go further afield with the ideal of justice.

The young man who was lost in thought caught steel-gray eyes unexpectedly.Realizing that Archer was looking at him, his heart beat frantically accelerated.

Probably aware of Shirou's nervousness, Ying Ling curled his lips and showed a helpless smile.

"You who can cross the barrier of 'yourself' have nothing to be afraid of. Don't you know which direction to go?"

The low voice of the heroic spirit floated over with the wind.A certain sensitive nerve was touched by the other party's words, and the boy closed his eyes.

When Shirou opened his eyes again, only Rin Tosaka was left in front of him, who was about to cry.

The boy closed his eyes again, then shook his head violently as if trying to expel the past from his mind.

Time will obliterate everything.

Those who are alive will forget everything.

The battles that heroes have participated in will eventually fall into silence, and the great achievements of heroes will eventually return to dust.

The emotions affected by the heroic spirit must be calmed down.

The boy who was trying to convince himself, his fingers unconsciously grabbed the blade of grass under him.

His clenched hand slowly increased his strength, and the edge of the blade of grass between his fingers even scratched his skin.

"If you forget, you must..."

The young man groaned, his voice slightly stained by the saltiness of tears.

"It will definitely not be possible."

How could it be forgotten.

Saved by you, my life.Also, what you gave me is my hope.
