the living [comprehensive]

Although he had doubts in his heart, Shirou told the two rituals everything he knew.

"A magician is eyeing me and intends to catch or kill me?" Ershi did not question Shirou's words, but narrowed his eyes and followed the other person's words, "Probably because of my eyes. After all, Is it possible to see clearly the origin of all living things?"

"That is, is it possible to reach the 'root'?"

"Yeah. But I'm not interested in things like the root cause."

"Magicians will definitely be interested." After talking here, Shirou finally thought of one thing clearly, "Before you said that I am not from this world..."

"Because I can't see your dead line. As long as it is a living soul, I can see their dead line clearly. But, I can't see through you." The girl originally explained to Shirou with a smile, but now her face is frozen , "Be careful, something strange is about to appear."

Before the two rituals spoke to remind him, Shirou was already alert.The strong, ominous atmosphere of magical power from unknown sources is permeating the apartment at this moment, which makes him unable to ignore it.

However, although the perception of magic power is much sharper than before, the boy's magic power level cannot be compared with the enemy hiding in the dark.There was nothing he could do but allow suffocating darkness to flood into the space as the evil magic corrupted the entire apartment.

However, even in a pitch-black environment, I still have a certain sense of my surroundings; it is because I have fought, so I am no longer the half-assed person Archer said, right?

Standing accurately between the two rituals and the source of magic power, Shirou protected the girl behind him: "Don't worry. I will... protect you."

The two ceremonies gave a friendly chuckle, but there was no sense of sarcasm: "Although I probably don't need it, thank you for your kindness."

The same is true, how could a girl who can see through all life and death need protection from others.

Shirou wanted to agree with the words of the two ceremonies, but he was forced to stop his mouth by the fierce aura rushing towards his face.Striving to stand up straight in the strong magic vortex, the sensitive young man frowned.

how to say?What came to the face was indeed frightening magic power, but it was still slightly inferior to the evil Holy Grail that could destroy the world at the beginning.What is shocking is the sorrow and despair that comes from a powerful enemy, so strong that it can be compared with the black mud.

"For such a powerful person, there are ideals that cannot be realized, and even make me despair." The young man who felt a little relieved subconsciously projected a pair of swords from a heroic spirit muttered to himself.

"I don't care why this guy is desperate. I just know that because of him, the innocent people around me have become murderers." Ryoichi walked to Shirou's side.

The scorching gaze of the two pierced through the darkness, and finally settled on the man who appeared in the apartment out of thin air.

——This pure black guy is the enemy and the initiator of many murders in Tokyo recently.

The two are very clear about this fact, but they can't subdue the mysterious and powerful enemy.Even though the man named "Araga Muneren" only declared his identity and then passively accepted the attack, neither magic nor sharp swords could do anything to him.

Time passed in the dark, strength and even body temperature seemed to be consumed by the constant battle.At this point, Shirou finally realized what was wrong.

At the moment when the girl was about to be attacked, Shirou rushed over and rescued her from the struggle.

"We who are in the barrier cannot kill it." Whispering in the girl's ear, Shirou revealed his discovery.

"En." The two rituals hurriedly responded, facing the powerful enemy vigilantly.

Soren Araya showed a regretful look: "You are truly a fearsome fighter, Ryoji. However, in order to achieve the 'root disaster', the risk is worth it."

"To reach the root... For a magician, this is not an excessive wish. But you, who use killing to achieve your goal, are too despicable." Shirou was a little angry.

Faced with the accusation, the pure black magician remained unmoved: "Humans are inherently hopeless creatures. Betrayal, deceit, and self-destruction are all human beings."

"Huh?" Shirou couldn't help being stunned when he heard the familiar words.

"Human beings are ugly, filthy, humble, and ignorant creatures. The only meaning of existence is probably to let me discover the existence of the 'root' through death." The magician said with disgust, but Shirou felt a trace of deja vu's sadness and ridicule inexplicably.

This guy... really wanted to save mankind?But, like Archer, he despaired of this ideal?

The two ceremonies did not care about each other's words at all.She lowered her voice and asked Shirou, "Is it possible to destroy the barrier with magic?"

"I'm afraid I can't destroy such a powerful enchantment."

"It's fine to break it." The girl was exhausted, but her eyes were amazingly bright, "In that case, I can kill him. Besides, you are not from this world, maybe you can break the barrier?"

Yeah?Shirou thought, a little skeptical.

However, this kind of wicked person cannot be eliminated.Moreover, the existence of the other party is also a desecration of one's own ideals.

The hesitation in his eyes was replaced by firmness, and the boy clenched the projected weapon tightly.

The two who joined hands for the first time cooperated tacitly and tore a gap in the barrier set by the powerful enemy.However, at this critical juncture, the boy was strangled by the magician's vicious words.

"It turns out that he is an idiot who has fallen into infinite reincarnation for hopeless ideals."

While in a daze, the wrist was tightly held, the bones were crushed, and the fragments rubbed against each other under the seemingly intact flesh, making a teeth-stinging sound.Such pain made Shirou calm down: "The ideal I insist on can be realized."

"Ha," the magician sneered mercilessly, "stupid things like hopes and miracles..."

"Of course it exists!"

Tens of thousands of sharp arrows were projected and shot at the dark dome of the enchantment. When tearing apart the darkness, the young man said firmly: "As long as you have hope and love, even if you are in misfortune, you will be saved!"

The sharp blade that came across the sky cut off the magician's arm, and then pierced his brain; after all, the two rituals achieved a hard victory.

However, at the last moment, the evil magician tried his best to say curse-like words to the two: "Then, let's deeply remember the moment when hope was shattered."

—Hope is never shattered.

Shirou wanted to refute, but couldn't speak.

His head was dizzy, as if he had lost even the ability to think normally.

The boy shook his head vigorously, trying to pull back the lost consciousness.When he was trying to stay awake, the girl's already calm voice came over: "I really... underestimated you."

Hearing the sound, Shirou raised his head in a daze.Liang Ri, covered in blood, was smiling at him, and his beautiful smile without the slightest haze caught him off guard.

"Thank you for fighting side by side with me." The girl's smiling face seemed to be radiating brilliance, which made it hard to move her eyes. "In this way, I can catch up with the date with Mr. Heitong later."

"It's nothing. Besides, it's not all for you," Shirou blushed, and his voice became so soft that he could barely hear it, "In order to save that guy, I..."

As the boy's embarrassing voice gradually lowered, the room was finally completely quiet.

The Heroic Spirit, who had appeared since unknown when, was standing on a high place, looking down on all this through the window.His red robe fluttered in the setting sun, seeming to have merged with the red sky.

Although I didn't believe that the two ceremonies would lose from the very beginning, this kind of development is really unexpected... Is it because of that little brat who was so meek and inconspicuous but exploded at a critical moment?

Heroic Spirit's indifferent eyes swept over the two people who were looking at each other and smiling, and paused when they glanced at the young man's hands behind his back.

Just now the whole apartment was shrouded in a barrier, and the heroic spirit had no idea what happened inside.But right now, he knows one thing.

——That idiot not only overdrawn his mana, but was also injured.

Heroic Spirit stared solemnly at the boy who was trying to hide his injuries.The determined expression of the young man that he had just glimpsed appeared before his eyes again.

——Hope and miracles exist.

——Human beings with love and hope can be saved.

In a sense, the emotions expressed by the teenager are not wrong.But what's the point of bruising yourself all over to prove it?This is downright stupid.

Silently lamenting the boy's stupidity and ridiculousness, Heroic Spirit didn't laugh at him.

Some people have said these words to themselves so desperately--

Some people have tried every means to bring something like "hope" to themselves——

who's that person--

Heroic Spirit woke up from fruitless thinking.Realizing that the two ceremonies were no longer in the room, he hesitated a little, and jumped down from the high place.

***

Two rituals go out for an appointment, and Shirou is worried about how to heal his hand with broken finger bones with exhausted magic power.In distress, a red heroic spirit appeared in front of him.

"It's...it's you." Shirou forcibly suppressed the surging emotions.He finally greeted the other party in a flat tone.

Although he was able to face up to his own feelings, he had no intention of revealing that obscure and bitter love to the other party.

Compared with the ideal, this feeling should really not exist.Before each other gets out of the current reincarnation, it's better to hide their feelings.

"Yeah." Heroic Spirit's faint voice could not hear any emotion, "You are hurt, you."

"It's no big deal..." Shirou tried to hide it, but the other party held his hand.Shattered bones dislocated under the tight grip, making him clench his teeth in pain.

"Brave, stupid, meddling."

Facing the ridicule of Heroic Spirit, Shirou retorted subconsciously: "I just hope to help..."

"I feel good about myself." Heroic Spirit continued to speak venomously, but the hand clasped with the young man passed on the magic power, "This is the first time for a guy like you who is willing to save others and torment himself..."

and many more.

The sense of déjà vu flashed through his mind between lightning and flint, which made Ying Ling stop.Letting go of the boy's wrist, Heroic Spirit grabbed the opponent's chin, trying to see the opponent's pupils more clearly.

The warm amber color is immersed in the soft water light - those are a pair of eyes that could not be more gentle.

However, at the moment when the darkness dissipated just now, what radiated from these eyes was a sharp luster that completely tore through the darkness.

This kid who clearly knew him but was suppressing his true feelings, sure enough, he must have met him somewhere.

The heroic spirit who guessed like this suddenly realized the unusual warm touch coming from his fingertips.And the boy's cheeks were still heating up, and even had a tendency to become hot.

Heroic Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the young man who blushed because of his simple touch with interest: "Oh, are you still a shy brat?"

"Shut up." Shirou angrily swung Heroic Spirit's arm away.He wanted to fight back, but he was attracted by the sound of the door closing heavily outside.

How could the two rituals come back so quickly?Didn't you go on a date?Could it be something happened?

Shirou had a bad premonition, and the words of the two rituals confirmed his guess.

"Hei Tong was kidnapped, and the culprit is the murderer I let go earlier."

"Is it... the senior who met me that day?"

"Well. At that time, I really shouldn't let him go. It would be great if I could simply kill him." Two rituals sighed softly, the tiredness in their eyes was worrying.

"Are you going to look for him?" Shirou suggested, "I can help."

"No need." Liang Ri smiled and took out something from the drawer.Shirou's heart skipped a beat when he saw what was in the opponent's hand.

That is the sharp knife used by the two ceremonies to fight.

By the way, I have seen the vision of two rituals killing people in front of Archer.The one who was killed was probably the senior.But, what seems wrong?

"It turns out that this girl is the culprit." Heroic Spirit's deep voice came from behind, "This is really... too ridiculous."

Shirou, who understood everything in an instant, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The two rituals of losing a lover killed the perpetrator, and then fell into darkness with despair; the powerful girl was unstoppable, and the turmoil was caused by this killing, and the whole city fell into chaos.

This is the truth of the time and space at present, and it is also the last heavy blow that Soren Araya gave to the two ceremonies: the girl will lose the person she cherishes the most, who made her full and gentle because of her soft heart in the past.

"Is there any way to remedy it?" Shirou muttered to himself, planning to follow him out.

"Of course it can be remedied. Killing her alone is more cost-effective than killing everyone." Seeing Shirou's intention to refute, Yingling calmly and cruelly advised, "Don't be stupid, brat. Let everyone It is impossible for all to be happy, and sometimes it is only by sacrificing the few to save the many..."

"certainly not!"

The heroic spirit's words were interrupted by the boy's shout, and his face darkened.

"The practice of killing a few people is unacceptable." The memory of breaking with the other party because he could not accept this belief in the Holy Grail War revived, and Shirou clenched his fists, "Also, Ryiki is stronger than you think. , be gentle. I will help her overcome the darkness."

"So, you're intervening for personal reasons? It's wiser than trying to save everyone, but," Heroic Spirit added with a little contempt and anger, "it's still stupid."

The boy who was striding towards the door suddenly stopped and turned his head to stare at Heroic Spirit.

"Forget it, your matter has nothing to do with me. Whether you want to save the person you like, or torment yourself for someone who has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with me." Ying Ling faded away from the anxiety just now, and his voice returned to indifference .He stood up, and left the cold profile that looked a little unreasonable to the other party: "But, I still want to give you a warning, you stupid kid who doesn't understand anything. If it comes to a last resort, in order to avoid destroying the entire building city, I'll kill her."

Not expecting the boy's response, Heroic Spirit turned his body into a spirit body after saying these words.Before the body completely shattered and dissipated into the air, he saw the boy's lips move.

The boy didn't make any sound.But Heroic Spirit was convinced that the other party had indeed said something.

Ahh... Although it's just an unimportant matter, it would be great if I could figure out what the brat said.

The heroic spirit who thought this way disappeared before Shirou with a little regret.Shirou, who had calmed down, also exhaled slowly, and softly repeated what he had just said.

"You're...a bastard who doesn't know anything."
