the living [comprehensive]

The gears of fate are still turning, and tragedy seems inevitable.

Even after what seemed like a night of disaster, the memory of the inferno that cost so many young lives has left a deep burn on the memory, but the Voyager's journey is not over.

Back in the city, Shirou concealed the origin of the surviving girl, but asked the girl he met earlier to find a reliable adopter.The girl who was the guardian looked at the girl of unknown origin vigilantly, and finally chose to compromise under the ignorant and innocent eyes of the other party.

"I know that there is a woman in the city who lost her child, and I will give this child to her." The girl led Shirou through the dilapidated streets, "Of course, if that is not the right person, we can go and see other people." People. But I thought, a mother who has lost her children and a little girl who has lost both parents are a perfect match."

Surprisingly and gratifyingly, the No. 1 choice in the girl's mouth is the biological mother of the pair of brothers and sisters who are separated forever.The lucky woman who survived the continuous bombing cried bitterly in front of her lost and found daughter.She hugged the girl in Shirou's arms directly, and she was so anxious that she didn't even thank her.

"This poor woman is finally a little relieved." The girl smiled with relief, "Now it seems that there are still miracles in this seemingly hopeless land. Don't you think so?"

"Yeah. So, as the guardian, you have to keep working hard." Shirou tried his best to smile and try to encourage the other party, but the smile was slightly dim.

After returning the girl he saved with his own hands, Shirou embarked on a journey again.The girl brought him food and sent him out of the city herself.

"I hope to see you...and your friends again." Realizing that the white-haired man who was with the boy before was not there, the girl was a little concerned, but kindly chose not to ask, "I hope we meet again at the end of the war." Later."

Shirou nodded without explaining about Archer.

In fact, the heroic spirit is still by his side, but the other party has turned into a spirit body to save magic power.

Isn't Archer's magic power enough?

Shirou was a little worried, however, the exhaustion of his body and the anxiety in his heart made him not even have the strength to open his mouth to care.

"Lead the way." In the end, Shirou just said this briefly, watching the back of the heroic spirit appearing and taking steps.

The two set off again, walking forward in parallel tracks, and they lived in peace with each other.

However, while the two were on their way, Yingling became concerned about a trivial matter.

The two walked in silence for so long that the Heroic Spirit, who was also preoccupied with himself, finally realized the abnormality of the boy.The young man who had been full of energy before became extremely quiet. Even if he deliberately said sarcasm, the other party would not retaliate unrelentingly as usual.

Tsk, is it because you were frightened by the previous scene that your heart was shaken?

Although he wanted to severely test the boy's persistence in his ideals, and even thought "it would be great if he could frighten this brat", but seeing the boy seem to be depressed now, Ying Ling felt that even he himself was worried. Surprising worry.

The other person's mood doesn't matter to him at all.In order to make "Emigong Shirou" get out of the original life track, it doesn't matter even if it hurts the other party's feelings.

More importantly, the "Shiro Emiya" beside him is an existence that has nothing to do with him.I am destined to leave after changing the other party's fate, and I will be completely strangers to the other party from then on.

Heroic Spirit tried to convince himself in this way, but with little success.

I hope that the other self who is still innocent at the moment can give up the hopeless ideal, but I can't bear to see the immature teenager completely collapsed by the dark reality of pure black.As time passed, the two contradictory thoughts in Ying Ling's mind did not decide between male and female, but his mood became more and more irritable.

During the nap, Yingling finally couldn't hold back, and while spurning his soft heart, he sat down next to the boy who hugged his knees: "This kind of thing happens every day in the Middle East. Even if you want to stop it, most of the time there is nothing you can do. And, simply Maybe dying is happier than living in a daze." He paused, "If you can't bear such a cruel reality, then you'd better leave here early."

The young man's lips moved slightly: "What happened yesterday is really hard to accept. But," he suddenly raised his voice, "I won't back down. I came here just to put an end to this kind of thing."

Heroic Spirit had already raised his hand to comfort the other party, but upon hearing this, the raised hand froze, and then slowly put it down.He fixedly stared at the young man beside him, without much surprise or frustration in his heart.

After all, it was natural for "Shiro Emiya" to say such a thing after being frustrated.

"So, why did you say nothing before?"

"I was thinking about something," the boy said earnestly with a distressed expression, "How can I avoid despair?"

Heroic Spirit was stunned, and then raised his forehead in frustration: "I am so optimistic that I will have expectations from you. You must have been so stimulated that your head broke."

"Eh?"

"Otherwise, why would you say such a stupid thing?"

"I didn't..."

"Despair is no different from death. It will come to everyone sooner or later." Heroic Spirit continued to sarcastically, "And you, a little devil who loves to dream, will be haunted by despair until death. If you don't abandon your unrealistic ideals, Sooner or later, then, the present hope will turn to despair."

"I know." The young man echoed calmly, "Hope and despair are born together."

This time, Heroic Spirit fell silent.

"But someone has to try hard, otherwise, wouldn't the unfortunate be in a desperate situation forever?" The young man's tired and weak voice was still soaked with firmness from the soul, "Happiness is not only for the strong. Those ignorant and weak children, as long as I can, I will try my best to help them. Even if I get hurt a little, as long as I can save them, it is worth it."

"I understand what you think." Heroic Spirit said in a deep voice, the boy sat up straight uncomfortably in a tone of joy and anger.

Just when the young man leaned over, trying to see Heroic Spirit's expression clearly, Heroic Spirit stretched out his hand without warning, pressing heavily on the back of the boy's head——

--Snapped!

The boy's face hit Heroic Spirit's shoulder unexpectedly.

"Now," Heroic Spirit muttered to himself, "I seem to understand a little bit."

Always want to alleviate the pain of others, even if he is injured; this feeling of never thinking about himself is the root cause of "Shiro Emiya" who cannot be redeemed.

Most likely, the young man in front of him will follow in his own footsteps; but even this brat, even if he is treated unfairly like himself, will definitely go to the end on the road of ideals.

Therefore, while your life and the other person's life still intersect, give the other person a little bit of comfort.

The Heroic Spirit was rarely frank and thoughtful, but the boy didn't seem to understand his intentions at all.After inhaling repeatedly due to the pain, the teenager protested: "You bastard, why did you just..."

"I just want to comfort you, a brave little brat." Heroic Ling began to regret his soft heart, but he still relaxed the hand that was clasped tightly on the back of the boy's head. "Just accept it gratefully."

"Huh?" The boy who was forced to lean on Yingling's shoulder continued to retort, "How can you be comforted!"

"To shut up."

***

Although he couldn't comprehend the Heroic Spirit's comfort at all, Shirou felt that the distance between himself and the other party had been shortened a lot unconsciously.

This is considered an improvement, right?Shirou thought uncertainly.

What he didn't expect was that in the evening of that day, he and Ying Ling had another dispute.

At dusk, they encountered an accident: a factory built on the edge of the city was about to explode.A handful escaped, but the vast majority of workers remained trapped inside the factory, unaware of the impending devastation.

This is... what Archer has experienced, right?

This thought came to Shirou's mind, but Heroic Spirit didn't give him time to think about it.Holding on tightly to the young man who was about to rush out, Heroic Ling knocked him unconscious with a knife in his hand.

——Even at the cost of hundreds of lives, Archer will prevent himself from becoming a guardian? !

As soon as Shilang woke up, his brain was filled with anger: "You are too arbitrary! Even if it seems irreversible, you should at least give me a chance..."

"So, how do you save them? Do you rely on your insignificant magic? Or your insignificant life?" Heroic Spirit's tone was not very good, "Do you think that for this land full of suffering, saving hundreds of people Is that a remarkable achievement?"

Shirou gritted his teeth; he could only pretend that he didn't know each other, and he couldn't express his true feelings at all.He lowered his head in a little disappointment: "Aren't you a heroic spirit? I thought that you, who were a hero in your lifetime, could at least understand my feelings."

The heroic spirit sneered, and the laughter was a bit sad: "I do understand, but I don't agree with it at all. Moreover, as a heroic spirit, I am just doing endless killing."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to poke your sore spot." The boy whispered, "But, it's very strange."

Heroic Spirit frowned: "Strange?"

"I mean," the boy suddenly raised his head and stared into the eyes of the heroic spirit, "you prevent me from talking to the guardian and saving other people, it's very strange no matter how you look at it!"

The boy ran away after saying this, and Heroic Spirit forgot to hold him because he was too surprised.

No matter what, he wanted to prevent the other party from becoming a guardian, but his own feelings were discovered?

How should I put it, although this brat looks stupid, but occasionally he will be sharp once in a while.

Heroic Spirit came back to his senses and found that the boy had disappeared.

Ha, you run really fast... Could it be that you are hated by the kid?

Of course, it doesn't matter what the other party thinks of me, and I have no obligation to appease the other party.

However, the wasteland where they are now, in any sense, can be called a deadly dangerous zone.

Therefore, we must find each other as soon as possible.Heroic Spirit thought and stood up.
