the living [comprehensive]

Shirou is used to being called "kid" by Archer.

However, being thrown into another world, I couldn't tell the truth, and the other party didn't remember me... All these things made some kind of subtle grievances well up in my heart.At this moment, although Archer's attitude has improved from the sharpness before, Shirou still leaned against the door frame bravely and did not walk over.

After waiting for a few seconds, the brows of Ying Ling raised slightly: "Oh, are you kidding me? From this point of view, it seems that it was just a momentary moment when I swore that I would stop the destruction here and prevent me from taking action?"

The heroic spirit's tone was still mocking as always, but his steel-gray eyes seemed to be shrouded in a dark shadow and became even colder.Accidentally meeting that sharp gaze, Shirou's heart stopped beating for an instant.

"Or, you saw that I became friendly, so you want to act like a baby?" He said jokingly, but the voice of the heroic spirit completely cooled down, "You have lost so much blood but you are still trying to be brave, because you want someone to hug you are you coming?"

How did you become friendly!

The young man who intuitively sensed the danger trembled slightly, and the firm posture he was holding on to disappeared invisible.He took a step forward and wanted to retort, but his body moved in the direction of the other party in disobedience.

Damn it... the body literally moved on its own!

But it wasn't that he was intimidated by this guy.I just feel that it is not appropriate to make the other party troublesome or irritable with childish behavior.

The dull pain in the back caused by the heavy blow just now became more and more difficult to ignore, and the blood loss and excitement made the brain dull like a fog.When he walked in front of Archer, Shirou let out a low gasp, and then tried to straighten his weak body——

In the next second, the boy was directly pulled over by the heroic spirit.

The man's strong hand clasped the injured arm, and his fingertips rubbed against the wound causing excruciating pain, making Shirou almost cry out.However, the tip of his nose was sore from hitting the opponent's hard chest heavily, and at this moment, he was already drowned by uncontrollable tears.

"It's really stupid, it's also hurting, and it's also trying to be brave."

Hearing this, Shirou subconsciously wanted to refute, but was taken aback by the changes in his body.

Archer grabbed his fingers, and the magic power from the other party flowed gently through his fingers, gradually healing the wound on his wrist.The injured limb seemed to be immersed in the cold and gentle lake water, and there was a little bit of tingling at first, but soon I couldn't feel even a little bit of pain.

Shirou raised his eyes subconsciously.The pupils of Archer's eyes, because they are silver-gray, look a bit cold.

Despite being stared at by cold eyes with no emotion, Shirou still believed that he was cared for by the other party.He looked at the focused Heroic Spirit and blinked: "Thank you, Archer."

"It's nothing." Heroic Spirit supported Shirou's exhausted body with just the right strength, and at the same time spit out unpleasant words, "Although I can leave you alone, but if you, a wishful idiot, die here, I will probably have a little Feel guilty."

Leaning quietly on Heroic Spirit's shoulder, the boy smiled.There are gratifications and nostalgia.

Although he doesn't remember me, Archer still looks like he knows him well.He clearly cares about others, but refuses to convey his true feelings to the other party.

"I won't die, and I will do what I say." Shirou tried to sound more believable, "I'm not what you think!"

Heroic Ling laughed lowly twice.Shirou felt the slight vibration of the opponent's body from a low laugh through the cheek that was tightly pressed against the opponent's chest.

"I imagine you? What do you look like?"

"I'm not a kid who can only fantasize but has a mess in his head." Shirou solemnly emphasized.The previous ridicule from the heroic spirit made him protest: "I have a plan, and I am acting in secret!"

"I know."

"You don't...huh?"

"I know that you went to the shrine to check during the day, and I know that you tried to find the police. Unfortunately, there are no police in the village, only the police from the town will occasionally come to patrol. You are not an elm head, but you are not lucky, kid .”

"That is to say..." The young man staring blankly at the heroic spirit vaguely recalled the faint magical power he felt in the woods before, if there was nothing there, but it was like a shadow, "Archer, you... have been paying attention to me?"

Heroic Ling choked for a moment, and there was a trace of annoyance in his cold eyes.He let out a "tss" impatiently, let go of the boy's already injured arm, and turned his head slightly away.

The vivid expression accidentally revealed is fleeting.When looking at the boy again, Yingling's sharp lips curled up slightly, showing an unfriendly ridicule: "Yeah, I just want to see how you little brat tortured me to death."

Before Shirou could reply, the heroic spirit disappeared in the air, as if he had escaped into a pale void.

"It's really a specimen-like tsundere." Shirou gently moved his shoulder that was no longer painful, and smiled helplessly.

After that, Shirou gently covered Keiichi Maehara, who was dragged into the bedroom, with the quilt, and sat down next to him again.

No longer trusting anyone and a strong tendency to attack - this is what Hinami Zet has after the outbreak of the virus.Everyone who enters this area will inevitably be infected, and as long as the "opportunity" comes, collective madness will erupt.

The people who mysteriously disappeared in the past few years were probably infected with the virus, and then they were affected by the strange atmosphere of Hinamizawa, and finally killed themselves.

Shirou, who touched the truth, fell into distress like this.

If you can't trust others, just be open and honest with each other; if you can't control your emotions, just think that this is the person you love and trust.

From the young man's point of view, this so-called terminal illness can be resolved in this way.But Keiichi Maehara's crazy performance just now made him realize that as an outsider, he thought everything too simply.

When the child wakes up, apologize first, and then talk about what happened.It’s okay to tell the other person the truth about the virus if necessary.Thinking of this, Shirou, who had been tossing around all day, lay down beside Keiichi.

This is the second night that Emiya Shirou came to Hinamizawa.

***

Bright sunlight passed through the gaps in the curtains and cast on the dark-haired boy's face, waking him up.

I seemed to have done something terrible last night?

Using a door to pinch a friend's wrist, attacking someone with a baseball bat...all of these were done by myself! ?

Keiichi covered his head unbearably as the dark past came into his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed the red-haired boy sleeping next to him.

Keiichi was about to jump up, but the inexplicable sense of peace he felt because of the other party made him sit on the couch and think.

It seems that I have never doubted this guy who was too stingy to tell his name.This nameless person who came from nowhere and has quite good skills is obviously more suspicious than his friends, and also has the ability to kill himself.

And this is the key.

The reason why he can trust this guy is because the other party can clearly kill him, but he has never done anything suspicious.Moreover, apart from the name, the other party was simply too frank.

What I care about is the honesty of my friends.Reina's behavior of avoiding her own questions and even preventing her from investigating made her extremely disturbed.

But to put it bluntly, to Reina, he did not tell everything frankly.

Doorbell rang.For some reason, Keiichi believed that the person who came was Reina.

What should come will always come.If so, let's have a good talk.

When walking towards the entrance, Maehara Kei subconsciously wanted to pick up the baseball bat, but he suppressed this urge abruptly.

Reina is a friend, you don't have to hold a weapon.He convinced himself silently like this, and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Rina Ryugu.

"Reina, I apologize for yesterday's faux pas. It was all my fault for blocking you out of the door and hurting your wrist." Guiyi cut to the chase, "But there is no way. You guys have avoided talking about the previous disappearance. This makes me uneasy as an outsider. I want to know the truth, and... I don't want to die. If I need to protect myself by guarding against my companions, I will definitely do so."

"Keiichi-kun..." The girl who was bombarded indiscriminately looked at him blankly.

"You should think about it for me too! Is it true that Hinamizawa's terrible sacrificial tradition has nothing to do with the disappearance case? I always feel like I'm being followed these days, and you know everything about me, that sneaky Isn't the guy..."

"It's alright, Keiichi-kun."

Keiichi Maehara stopped in astonishment.The weak and petite girl in front of him exuded an unpleasant cold aura again.

Ah, is this persecution paranoia?Scared of an unarmed Renay or something.Keiichi thought and took a step back.

At the same time, the girl tightly grasped his hand: "I'm sorry. Those murders... are all true. Some disappeared after the ceremony, and some cut their own throats and lost too much blood to die. Because they are all things that are difficult to explain, I don't want to tell Keiichi-kun about them. I don't want...you to be afraid and reject us."

"Really." Guiyi took a deep breath, but his heart inexplicably settled down a little.

Renay's account was consistent with outside reports.

At least, Reina told herself these things.At least Reina can be trusted.

"I didn't know that Keiichi-kun was so scared, and I didn't know that I had become a person that Keiichi-kun couldn't trust. I'm sorry." The girl smiled hard, hiding her hurt expression, "Before you alienated everyone because of anger, so, I played an excessive prank. I’m sorry. From now on, I won’t scare you anymore. But I will still watch you. When Keiichi-kun is uneasy or afraid, I will accompany you.”

"Reina?" Keiichi was replaced blankly this time.

"It's okay." Letting go of the boy's hand, Reina smiled and opened his arms to him, "It doesn't matter if it's pain, doubt or fear... Rena will always be with you."

The black-haired boy stared at the girl in front of him with wide eyes.

Once upon a time, the illusion that the girl was as terrifying as a poisonous snake has disappeared without a trace.The arms that gently hugged her gently climbed onto her shoulders, conveying the soft and beautiful touch.

Kei blinked: "Thank you so much, Reina." He pretended to laugh easily, but his voice became choked.

In the past few days, the fear of the outside world and himself erupted at the same time, and the black-haired boy hugged by the girl wailed heartily.

Near the entrance, a heroic spirit with red robe and white hair was hidden in the air, watching all this with a blank expression.In his eyes, apart from the pair of teenagers and girls at the door, there was also a certain idiot who ran out of the room in a panic and smiled brilliantly when he saw the two embracing each other.

Probably because he just woke up, the boy's amber-like warm eyes were wet.Those eyes were astonishingly bright, and what filled the pure pupils was undisguised joy and relief.

Do you show such a dazzling smile for the happiness of strangers?This kid is really stupid.

Due to some inexplicable reasons, Heroic Spirit has grasped the boy's wish.

—I hope everyone can live happily.

——No one suffers innocently, no one dies innocently, and no one loses happiness.

It wasn't some evil desire, but it was hopelessly stupid.

And this brat didn't even realize the most important thing.

——Everyone who enters Hinamizawa will be infected by a dangerous virus.

——Including the boy himself.

He has clearly become a carrier of the virus, but he is able to maintain normality in a strange environment, and even affects the sick people around him... Is it because the young man is too slow?

Or, in this honest and honest young man, there is no such inferiority as "selfishness and suspicion"?

Heroic Spirit once again looked at the boy's smiling face.

That face, indeed, was extremely pure and calm.

As if aware of the sight of the heroic spirit, the smiling young man who walked towards the bedroom suddenly came back to his senses, and whispered, "Archer?"

Heroic Spirit remained silent.

"What, it's clearly there." The teenager complained softly and walked back to the bedroom.

Inadvertently, a faint smile bloomed on Yingling's lips.That slight arc softened his stern face.
