the living [comprehensive]

Peace of mind...?

After sending the girl away, he also chewed on the other party's words, Shirou was surprised to realize that his trust in Archer seemed to be a bit too much.

Although he saved himself when they first met, Archer clearly disliked himself for his poor magic skills.In the church, the priest also said that even the summoned servants may betray the master for certain obsessions.

However, I trusted Archer without hesitation - even though the other party was reluctant to reveal his true identity.

It seems... a little rash.Shirou sighed silently and walked into the dojo.Taking the figure bathed in the radiance into his eyes, Shirou paused in his tracks.

The tall heroic spirit was waving the bamboo sword lightly. It was obviously a harmless tool, but it had the potential to kill in the opponent's hands.That impeccable figure and awe-inspiring gaze reminded Shirou of the fierce thunder-like gaze in the dream when the heroic spirit exorcised evil.

The heroic spirits marching in the endless battlefield, their hands are inevitably stained with blood, but their bodies seem to be made of light and justice, without any shadow of evil and gloom.

Is it because of the ideal of the other party?After all, the wish fulfilled by the seemingly cruel heroic spirit is the most difficult and compassionate "justice".

Shirou suddenly understood.

In Archer's case, it doesn't matter if you trust him unconditionally.

Because, the other party is exactly what I dreamed of, an existence with similar ideals to myself——

Perhaps Shirou's eyes were too hot, Heroic Spirit turned his head suddenly.When looking at Shirou, Heroic Spirit's sharp eyes seemed to soften a bit, but his tone was still the usual bitterness: "Why don't you come here soon, is it because you want to be lazy? Or, do you regret your decision to join the Holy Grail War? "

"How can you regret it!" Shirou picked up a bamboo sword casually, walked up to the opponent and put on a fighting posture, "Please give me more advice, Archer."

Watching the young man's decent posture of preparing for battle, Heroic Spirit raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then returned to his indifferent attitude: "Very motivated, Master. But, the ugly words are ahead. I don't know how to serve show mercy."

In the following training, Heroic Spirit kept his promise, and Shirou felt this very clearly.

The torrential attack was breathless, the relentless attack on the joints made every inch of the limbs ache.The boy who became more and more proficient in actual combat blocked the heroic spirit's slash with a powerful block, and then jumped back.

Seeing through that the boy wanted to take a nap, the heroic spirit did not let him go, but followed him closely.Raising the bamboo sword in his hand high, the heroic spirit gave the boy a hard blow head-on without stopping.

The young man who was struggling to fight finally reached his limit because of this heavy blow, and his strong and green body suddenly fell down.

Heroic Spirit subconsciously stretched out his hand to the downed boy, and restrained his body's spontaneous actions vigorously.He withdrew his hand in silence, watching the exhausted young man propped up with a bamboo sword, half kneeling on the floor panting.

"Isn't it enough just at this level? That's really troublesome. With your current level, not to mention fighting against other magicians, it is very difficult even to retreat. If this is the only way, then you should give up participating in the battle." , Master."

Hearing Heroic Spirit's harsh words, the boy bit his lower lip unwillingly.After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the heroic spirit with burning eyes: "Then, let's continue training."

Heroic Spirit froze slightly, and the mocking look in his eyes faded away.

"Archer is a powerful heroic spirit with more combat experience than me. Therefore, I trust your judgment." Trying to calm down his unsteady breathing, Shirou said seriously, "Since the level is not enough, then continue to practice until you Until I think I'm qualified enough."

Heroic Spirit listened to the boy's declaration quietly, and his eyes fell on the boy.

The boy in front of him was completely drenched in sweat, and his bright red hair was covered with a layer of dampness.The young man's fair face had lost a little blood color due to the heavy load of the battle, and it seemed to be translucent, but his eyes were still as bright as ever.

Seeing the young man in front of him who had lost all his strength but managed to stand up again, Ying Ling sighed with complicated emotions: "I knew it would be like this."

Even in a world where the order has been completely subverted, the Heroic Spirit who checked the dynamics of all parties in a spirit state the night before can basically be sure that, except that he and Saber have exchanged servants, the rest of the forces are no different from what they remember .

Then, things in the future can basically be determined. The Rider camp will set up a deadly barrier in the school, and Caster, who has been ignorant of Saber for a long time, will try to take away the girl knight at a certain moment when Tohsaka Rin is lax, and the priest hiding in the church and a certain extremely powerful heroic spirit will Crouch to the end and deliver the fatal blow.

Of course, variables also exist.Rin who got the strongest follower doesn't need to worry about a boy who is not good enough in magic, and probably won't challenge the boy to a duel; and with a master as powerful as Rin, Saber may not be taken away by Caster.

However, for the sake of the teenager's safety, it is still necessary to strengthen the opponent's training.Especially, the other party is still a fool who loves to die.

Suddenly realizing that "self" was being scolded, Heroic laughed lightly, and pulled out the bamboo sword that the young man was trying to raise: "Enough, Master. Rest first, and practice magic later." He paused, The tone suddenly became joking, "Speaking of which, although your replica is quite decent, the combat power is still far behind. If you want not to embarrass me, you must continue to work hard."

"Eh?"

"During the confrontation with the Berserker camp before, you used magic to copy my dual swords, right?" Heroic Spirit sighed exaggeratedly, "It was clearly the first time we met but you copied my weapons without hesitation, you are really thick-skinned To a certain extent."

Hearing this, Shirou's cheeks instantly flushed red: "That... I'm not..." Not knowing how to explain the instinctive copying of Heroic Spirit's black and white double blade action at that time, he closed his mouth embarrassingly, and lowered his head slightly.

The awkward look of the boy who was ashamed and unwilling to admit defeat pleased the Heroic Spirit to a certain extent.Raising his hand to mess up the boy's red hair, Ying Ling quietly raised the corners of his lips in an extremely small arc.

Although the kid was annoying most of the time, there was nothing endearing about this guy who was himself and wasn't him.

But this guy, occasionally has moments that can be called cute.

***

Aside from the bickering that was as intense as a quarrel, the boy and the heroic spirit lived together in peace.However, after Shirou learned that his former friend Shinji Matou was also selected by the Holy Grail, and reached a reconciliation with Rin Tohsaka for the safety of the campus, an increasingly urgent matter surfaced.

"Emiya-san, you haven't established a connection with Archer, have you?" After forming an ally, the girl seriously mentioned this to Shirou, "As a job agency that can move freely, Archer will consume a lot of mana. If you can't Guarantee the supply of magic, he will not be able to fight for you, and even, it will be difficult to maintain the entity."

Shirou was very concerned about what the girl said.But when he returned to Wei Gong Mansion in the evening, he found it hard to say anything to the cold heroic spirit with his usual expression.

In a word, it's all because of my poor level of magic.And Archer, a guy who likes to be brave, might not accept his concern, and might even ridicule himself.

Shirou was anxious and unable to speak, but the Heroic Spirit who was sitting across from him unexpectedly spoke first: "Did anything happen at school today?"

"It's nothing!" Shirou sat up straight as if awakened, "It's just that because of the rivalry in the Holy Grail War, there was a conflict with Tohsaka, although after that..."

"Let's form an ally with the other party in the future. Otherwise, with your strength, it is impossible to retreat from her face." The heroic spirit's voice was cold, but somehow reassured Shirou, "The enemy that is difficult for the Saber camp must be very difficult. Your decision is actually very stupid. Of course, considering that you can't ignore the crisis in the school, it is a relatively wise choice to form an alliance with the strongest faction."

"Eh? How does Archer know?" Shirou thought for a while, "Could it be, did you do some investigation during the day?"

"Of course. With a Master like you, if I want to win the war, as a Servant, of course I have to make more preparations."

Heroic Spirit's tone was unsurprisingly irritating, but Shirou felt guilty and asked in a low voice: "Then, your magic power..."

The heroic spirit frowned unobtrusively: "Are you worried about me? Did Saber's master say something to you?"

Everything was guessed by the heroic spirit, Shirou bowed his head in frustration.

In front of the Heroic Spirit who can clearly see everything about him, even his carefully hidden emotions, even if he wants to hide something, there is nothing he can do.

From another point of view, such an archer has become his servant instead of his enemy, is it also lucky?

The silently rejoicing young man realized belatedly that he was already fully involved in the Holy Grail War.

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing." Heroic Spirit was a little irritable for some reason, and his tone of refusal was quite blunt. "Anyway, with your current ability, you can't complete the contract with me at all."

"But Tohsaka said that in a physical way, it can also replenish your magic power..."

"It's body|fluid." As if wanting to end the topic immediately, Heroic Spirit stood up suddenly, "So, don't mention this kind of thing again. Blood is not a long-term solution, and you can't do it with other methods."

Almost at the moment when the last word was spit out, Heroic Spirit froze in surprise.

The sudden wet and soft touch on his lips made Heroic Spirit lose the ability to move in an instant.

Confirming that the magic power flowing in the body was transmitted to the other's mouth through the place where the lips and teeth meet, Shirou continued this almost kissing move for a while in embarrassment.Afterwards, with a blushing face, he responded softly: "It can be done. For you who fought for me, I will at least give you magic power in return."

Feeling the warm moisture remaining on his lips, Heroic Spirit fixedly stared at the boy's face which was close at hand.

The boy's cheeks were bright red, as if they had been dyed by cherry blossoms; his pupils were very clear, with a pure and honest light shining in his eyes, without any personal emotion mixed in his eyes.

"It's really honest and selfless." Heroic Ling lowered his voice, "Such dedication is simply...disgusting."

Hearing a bit of gnashing of teeth from Heroic Spirit's tone, Shirou subconsciously moved back a little bit.However, in the next second, he was pulled into the arms of Heroic Spirit.

"Then, I'm sorry, Master." After saying this, Ying Ling lowered his head and pressed his hot lips tightly against the slightly parted lips of the young man.

The high fever that came close to him suddenly made the young man tremble, and the tongue that invaded his mouth strongly made the young man have the urge to run away.However, the other party's tightened arms were like shackles, and the hot lips|tongue that frantically plundered his mouth gradually took away all his strength.

Although it was a ritual of replenishing the magic, the Heroic Spirit seemed more focused on the act of snatching the boy's lips.The powerful arms imprisoned the young man's body with the strength to fuse each other's flesh and blood. After licking the young man's mouth, the dexterous tip of the tongue tightly twisted around the other's tongue, sucking|sucking that piece of softness.

Consciousness gradually drifted away with the lack of oxygen in the brain, and Shirou was unable to think about other things.After the long kiss, he leaned against the heroic spirit's arms weakly, his blank brain could only accommodate the words that the heroic spirit whispered in his ear: "Although it's only a small amount, it's better than nothing. Thank you, Master."

"Archer seems to be..." The young man, who was still unconscious, expressed his curiosity in a daze, "Are you familiar with this kind of thing? He really is an adult..."

Heroic Spirit's body froze for a moment.Taking a deep look at the boy's pupils covered in ambiguous mist, Heroic Ling clicked his tongue impatiently, and pressed the boy's head into his arms forcefully as if punishing him.

Of course it is very familiar, after all, I have experienced it many times with you.

Besides, you bloody brat can't remember it all.
