the living [comprehensive]

Once again stepping into the life of a heroic spirit in a dream, Shirou found that the world in front of him was different from what he had seen before.

The vast desert is covered with tragic tones by blood and fire. As far as the eye can see, there are large expanses of blood-colored sky and pale quicksand, as well as swords that have not been stained with dust, but are covered with flesh and blood.

There is still some brilliance between the heaven and the earth, but the world seems to be frozen on the eve of dawn.The dawn will not come, just as, to the red figure standing on the hill, the salvation that kills despair will never come.

The tall man was pierced by countless sharp knives, his upright body was extremely powerful, and also... extremely lonely.

Shirou quietly watched the back of the opponent.Although he knew that this was not the real appearance of the heroic spirit at the last moment of his life, his heart was still bitter because of the illusion.

...it shouldn't be like this.

Abandoned by those he saved, trapped in the shadows, entangled in the gears of fate, forever, unable to escape. Archer, he shouldn't have such an end.

Although the two are originally one, but if Archer's life is like this, then he will save each other no matter what.

Unable to yell out in the dream, Shirou could only yell desperately in his heart.

—I will pull you out of despair, no matter the cost—

As if hearing the strong inner voice of the young man, the red figure in the distance turned around.

The moment he caught a glimpse of the boy, Ying Ling's eyes sparkled, and finally, he smiled.

The piercing blade didn't seem to cause pain, and getting stuck in this place didn't seem to cause trouble. The smile of the heroic spirit was as dazzling as a bright star.

By the way... this smile is exactly what I want to keep...

Shirou opened his eyes abruptly.

The familiar smell belonging to the bamboo house reassured Shirou, and after confirming that it was only his own breath, he dimmed his eyes again.

Because I didn't replenish the opponent's mana in time, I probably couldn't keep Archer.

If I could be stronger, if I didn't faint when I kept Archer...

Shirou sighed melancholy, and slowly stood up.He was a little concerned about the carefully bandaged wound, but soon, Shirou attributed it to Tohsaka or Fuji-san.

The body that hadn't eaten for nearly a day and a night had experienced a long and fierce battle, and now protested because of hunger: "Sure enough, let's eat something first." Shirou muttered to himself, opened the door, and walked to the kitchen.

The moment he stepped into the kitchen, Shirou froze at the kitchen door like petrified.

A beautiful girl with twin ponytails knelt at the table, elegantly cutting fried eggs.And the guy standing in front of the stove pouring the porridge into a bowl, feeling depressed all over his body, was Archer who he thought had already left.

Seeing the busy figure, Shirou opened his eyes to the extreme, trying to confirm that this was not a hallucination.

"What are you doing standing there? Sit down for me to eat. Or is it that your brain is broken, and you feel hungry and have no desire to eat?" Heroic Spirit's tone was as unpleasant as ever, "Considering that there is only half a piece of food left. Most of your stomach and intestines will become fragile, so you can give me porridge."

The ecstasy of having lost and found was mostly weakened by the other party's sarcasm, Shirou wanted to retaliate, but in the end he just quietly came to the table and sat down.

The moment he was seated, a bowl of hot porridge was handed to Shirou.Scattered egg flower and chopped green vegetables are added to the porridge, and the seasoning is just right for him.After tasting it, Shirou subconsciously commented: "It turns out that Archer is so considerate, and it's completely according to my taste."

Meeting the young man's gaze, Heroic Ling raised the corners of his lips slightly, but what he said made people even more irritated: "It's really rare to get your approval, Master. Why, praise my cooking but don't continue to eat, is it Want me to feed you myself?"

Being ridiculed again and again in front of the girl who was regarded as a goddess, Shirou's soft-toned eyes finally shone with a tit-for-tat light: "Please allow me to refuse," he stared at the heroic spirit unwillingly, "You bastard, give me enough."

The girl watching suddenly burst out laughing, then recovered gracefully and continued to eat.

With a final glaring look at Heroic Spirit on the opposite side, Shirou lowered his head amidst the teasing smile of the other party, concentrating on his porridge.

The three finished their breakfast peacefully, and Shirou finally asked the question he cared about: "By the way, why did Tohsaka come? Also, last night, Archer's magic power was clearly exhausted, because of me..."

Although Shirou grew up under the guidance of the heroic spirit, he could not fight against the King of Heroes after all.If it weren't for the help of Archer, who has the same magic power as him, he might have died long ago.As for the heroic spirit who repelled the black mud for Tohsaka and helped him kill the King of Heroes, his limited magic power has been exhausted.

"But your contract has not been terminated. I happen to have gemstones, so I replenished his magic power by the way." Tohsaka waved his hand indifferently, "Really, I wanted to keep Saber with this, but I didn't expect the power of the Holy Grail It is so huge that I have consumed all the Command Seals..."

"Thank you, Tohsaka." Shirou thanked you sincerely, "I don't know how to thank you."

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, I came here today to discuss the salary."

"Eh?" The topic changed sharply, Shirou couldn't help being stunned, and Heroic Spirit showed a clear headache expression.

In the end, under the coercion and lure of the girl, Shirou agreed to go to London with the other party after graduation-as a magic apprentice.

"You just sold yourself to Tohsaka, Master." After the girl left, Heroic Spirit taught the boy with a look of disgust, "You are such a weak and deceitful guy."

"Don't say that, Tohsaka is also thinking of me. Besides," Shirou lowered his voice, "she used gem magic to keep you, Archer. I'm very happy."

Yingling's expression froze, and the unhappiness dissipated from his face.He stared at the young man's flushed cheeks, and asked in a low voice, "But, it doesn't make any sense, does it? The master-slave relationship between you and me should have ended forever."

"How can it be meaningless?" Shirou replied earnestly with a blushing face, "I can only grow because of the existence of you, my ideal. I will not abandon each other's ideals, so please be my ideal." Companion, go with me. I will go farther than you, Archer. As for magic power... Didn't we add it before? I will also find a way to perfect the contract. One day in the future, you can pass Maybe the power of the contract directly shares my magic power."

"You really love to talk big like always." The sarcasm softened a lot because the aggressiveness faded away, and the heroic spirit let the young man hold his hand and walked out of the house, covering up the fluctuations in his heart with a cold expression.

Although the wish of "staying with the boy", which was so vague that he didn't want to admit it, had been fulfilled, the restlessness in his heart could not be dispelled.

Although it wasn't the boy's fault, but this magnanimity and gentleness without selfish desires really made people not like it at all.

——Although I can't hate the boy's innocence.

Sitting side by side with the young man under the corridor, Heroic Spirit vaguely recalled the picture deep in his memory that the child and the man were sitting here and talking about their ideals.

"Before, I inherited my father's ideals here." Shirou murmured softly, "Archer has the same experience, right?"

"I can't remember the first thing. I have experienced too many treks and killings, so even the good memories are blurred." Heroic recalled in a low voice, and changed his words when the boy looked over worriedly, "But the conversation at that time , I still have the impression. After all, everything started at that time."

"That's right, that's the starting point of our ideals." Shirou raised his head to look at the steel-gray pupils of Heroic Spirit, who seemed to be cold but reassuring, and bent the corners of his eyes with a smile. Colleagues, that's great."

"Don't make it sound like I'm happy to be with you." Heroic Spirit habitually poured cold water on the young man, "Speaking of which, if I suffer so much because of the ugliness at the end of my ideal and give up on myself, you..."

"In that case, I'll catch you."

——I will catch you!

Buried deep in the memory, the boy's cry resonated with the other party's smiling response.

The heroic spirit didn't make a sound, but his calm expression fluctuated, and the light and shadow in his eyes flickered slightly.

"I'm serious." Shirou coughed lightly and said seriously, "Although the one who can defeat you, Archer, must be deep despair. But as long as I meet you, no matter what, I won't give up on you. As long as there are still With a glimmer of hope, I will pull you out of despair."

—Finally... got you, Archer.

Heroic Ling was stunned for a long time, and finally resigned to his fate, showing a knowing smile.

Even if time travels;

Even if the boy no longer remembers everything;

Even if the cogs that bound one's destiny are finally destroyed;

It seems that there is still a strong bond between myself and the boy that cannot be escaped.

It's just that I don't feel disgusted by the inseparable connection between them.

Heroic Spirit lowered his head, and pressed a kiss on the boy's lips which were kept opening and closing due to his speech.After the gentle caress, the tip of the tongue invaded, and he was already familiar with the matter of occupying the young man's mouth.Raising his hand to cover the boy's eyes wide open in shock, he deepened the kiss, wantonly plundering the boy's magic power and breath.

Ending the kiss when the boy felt suffocated, Yingling expressed his true feelings in a teasing tone: "There is no way. Although you are just a brat, since you took the initiative to chase after me at first, then this time, let me take care of you." Respond to your feelings."

"Eh?" Shirou was surprised by the gentle smile of Heroic Spirit at first, and then frowned in confusion, "My mood? You mean..."

Heroic Spirit didn't answer, but just raised his eyes forward, looking into the blue and clear sky.

This kind of thing, of course, will not tell you.

However, if he didn't give some hints, the dull kid might still be ignorant of the burning emotion in his chest.

Thinking of this, Yingling smiled helplessly.

The ideal has been fulfilled, the belief has been practiced, and the soul you want to protect is within your reach.

Although the little devil is mostly talking big, but if he guards the other party going further...

Walking with each other is not such a bad thing.
