the living [comprehensive]

Under the clear blue sky, the green mountains surround the small village.In this vast expanse of green, only that tiny piece of land bears traces of human life.

In the quiet mountain, there was a desolate humming of cicadas accompanied by the sound of gurgling water.Among them, the youthful voice was faintly mixed.

"I said, what is your name?" The handsome black-haired boy had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.Although he has tried his best to ask the question softly, this tenderness is almost gone with the patience: "There must be a limit to being in a daze! Besides, you are not dumb, right? You clearly yelled out English words just now Go!"

The girl who was walking with the black-haired boy knelt quietly beside her.She wrung out the water-soaked handkerchief, and looked at the person who fell into the water with concern.

Emiya Shirou, who was the object of the gaze of the pair of boys and girls, looked bewildered.There was a look of helplessness in his wide-open eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it again.

"This...what's going on?" Shirou asked softly, "Where is this place?"

Perhaps moved by Shirou's sincere expression, the violent mood of the black-haired boy that was about to move subsided.He looked at the wet Emiya Shiro: "The two of us went out for a picnic, and found you drifting along the water. Although you are not like a villager, you can't just leave you alone. So , I rescued you up here. By the way, this is Hinamizawa.” The young man added again, “It’s 2030 A.D. So, what era are you a time traveler from? Or, You are an alien?"

"Huh?" The black-haired boy in front of him was indeed joking - the sly expression on the other side fully proved it.Even so, Shirou was quite taken aback by the other's words.

My previous self was clearly talking to that unknown black-haired girl in the underground of Liudong Temple, so how could he suddenly appear in this unknown small village?Could it be that the girl sent herself to somewhere more than 20 years later when she disagreed with each other?

Or, because he wanted to save Archer, he went to the world where Archer was?

This conjecture, like a new flame emerging from a fire that is about to go out, became the only hope Shirou could hold on to at this moment.Although his mind was still filled with confusion, his heart had calmed down because of this thought.He opened his mouth: "I am..."

I'm Emiya Shirou—he wanted to respond to the black-haired boy like this, but he couldn't say his name.

what happened?The current self can't explain his identity?

Even if you want to write on the sand with your fingers, you can't control your body!

What's the matter?Because this is probably the world that Archer belongs to, and because I, who is also "Shirou Emiya", does not exist in this world line, so I don't have a name, and it is impossible to identify myself as "Shirou Emiya". Do you want to say something?

Having experienced the incredible Holy Grail War, Shirou has been able to accept all kinds of weird things.After trying several times but still unable to tell the name, he smiled wryly.

If he wanted to save Archer, he might lose more than he imagined—this sentence was absolutely true.The current self has lost his name.

On the other side, the black-haired boy felt that he had been ignored for too long, and stared angrily again.But before he could speak, the girl on the side spoke first: "Then, allow me to call you 'big brother', after all, you look obviously older than me."

The girl has a very crisp voice, like a mountain stream flowing under the moonlight.

Emiya Shirou looked directly at the girl for the first time after waking up.The girl in the white gauze dress has the characteristics of Asian and Caucasian mixed race, her hair is bright orange red, and her blue eyes are as if they are ignorant of the world, without any gloomyness, they cannot be more clean and clear.

On the other side, the boy and girl argued quietly.

"Reina, is it really okay to be casual like this?"

"It's okay. Keiichi-kun, aren't you also from outside the village?"

"I don't mean that. It's just that if you don't even know the name..."

"Big brother either doesn't want to reveal his name, or he doesn't have a name at all." While speaking to persuade the black-haired boy, the girl with blue eyes turned to Shirou, "So, if we force big brother like this, there is no use at all." None. If you can trust us in the future, you will be able to tell the truth, right?"

"Ah...that's how it is." Shirou nodded blankly, "I'm sorry, but I do have reasons why I can't explain my identity. But in the future, there will definitely be a day when I can be honest."

The girl who was approved smiled and rolled her eyes: "Then, please give me your advice. I am Rena Ryugu."

"Since Reina has said so, I have no other choice." The black-haired boy spread his hands helplessly, and then reached out to Shirou, "I am Keiichi Maehara."

"Please advise me more." Shirou responded with a smile, while looking at the two people's attire without any trace.

Although they are in the future - 2030, their costumes are very similar to themselves.Probably because the village is isolated from the outside world, people are still living in a backward way.And judging from their fear of outsiders, it seems that this village is the only one in the land surrounded by mountains.

After sorting out the situation, Shirou pursed his lips hesitantly, and finally made a request: "This is really rude, but, can you please take me in for a few days? There is a person who looks after me but has no good intentions. Hunt me down. My parents died young, and my adoptive father died five years ago, so I have no way to fight against that guy. Even, I fell into the river because of that guy..."

Shirou, who used his real experience to tell a lie, looked at the two people in front of him sincerely with a feeling of apprehension.

Although he hasn't figured out what the current situation is, he feels inexplicably that he should stay.

As a Heroic Spirit, Archer will appear on occasions of human depravity and self-destruction, beheading all those who have lost hope.And since he was sent to this isolated mountain village, it probably meant that he would meet Archer who was on a mission here.

——Although this quiet and peaceful place has nothing to do with darkness at all.

"Huh? That's absolutely impossible! Hinamizawa usually doesn't accept outsiders, and people in the village don't necessarily recognize you...uh..." The black-haired boy who was clearly refusing was silent.

The girl named Rena was staring at Keiichi Maehara with moist blue eyes.She put her slightly clenched fist on her small lips, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

It was clearly a deliberate act, with a lovely and pitiful posture.Even so, no one could refuse the crying girl in front of her.Even, I, who was on the sidelines, had the urge to comfort the other party.

"Forget it. Even though I don't want to take you in, you, Anonymous, are too suspicious, and I can't do without monitoring you at close range!" Guiyi nodded imposingly, "Then, come live in my house, Anonymous! Let me stay with you at the same time In a room, let's monitor you at close range!"

Shirou didn't care about Keiichi's slightly rude attitude.Compared to this, he cares more about the tenderness of the girl and the enthusiasm of the boy.

Speaking of which, although it is true that I care about Archer very much, but being controlled by emotions and brought to a different time and space by strange wishes, is it possible that I am a little impulsive?Now it seems that I have made an incredible wish, and it has affected more people.Although I didn't know it beforehand, but being impulsive, it's too bad!

After deep self-reflection, Shirou sat down on his knees and bowed deeply to the two: "Sorry for causing you trouble, please forgive my concealment and abruptness. In addition, thank you for your help."

Shirou's solemn apology made Keiichi completely lose his temper: "Forget it. You don't look like a bad person. Besides, I, who is also a foreigner, probably the person who resonates with you the most. ? So, you can live in my house with peace of mind."

"Yeah." As the two people in front of him stood up, Shirou sensed the magical power around him intently.

There is no magic fluctuation.This is a predictable thing.After all, in a village isolated from the world, it is unlikely that there will be magicians.Then, once Archer appeared, he would be able to detect the arrival of the other party at the first time.

Realizing that he was thinking about the guy who somehow caused him to be thrown over 20 years later, Shirou hit his head hard.After that, he looked at the two people who led him into the village in front of him, and slowly lost his mind.

"Keiichi-kun, you are really gentle!" The girl's cheeks were as bright as the morning glow, and her eyes were fixed on the boy walking beside her.A few seconds ago, the boy grabbed the girl in a daze to prevent her from being hit by the bicycle.

"It's nothing, just repay the snack you gave me." The boy smiled and rubbed the top of the girl's head.

"Oh!" The girl made a cute cat-like voice, and her cheeks instantly turned red as if they were being burned.

"It would be nice to be like this all the time." The pleased boy said sincerely.

"Of course it will always be like this!" The blushing girl responded with a smile.

These two people seem to be... in love with each other.

Although it is wrong to gossip about others, such a clean and ignorant love is really touching.Shirou sighed slightly.At this moment, he vaguely caught a word from the girl.

"...You must never doubt or betray Reina! If Reina is sad, she might kill everyone!"

In the girl's beautiful and peaceful blue eyes, a icy cold and sharp cold light flashed across.

Seeing that fleeting, dangerous expression, Shirou paused in astonishment, feeling chills all over his body.

"Don't make such a joke, it's scary!" Keiichi protested without knowing anything, "And, how could I give up my companion? I promised not to let go of your hand, so I definitely won't leave you. "

"I hope so, Keiichi-kun." Reina chuckled softly again, as if the dangerous aura emanating from just now had never existed before.

But Shirou knew that it was not his illusion, and the girl was not joking.

Weird girls, villagers who silently stare at outsiders with cold eyes... What is going on in this village?
