Matou Shinji frowned and looked at the sudden "invasion" of Emiya Shirou and Saber.
Emiya Shirou was seriously injured, and because of Akuko's words, he was now in a state of self-doubt. When Anno helped Emiya Shirou walk to the Matou family residence, Emiya Shirou had already arrived.
The degree of pallor.
Because he lost a lot of blood, Emiya Shirou couldn't even stand still during the battle. It was Shinji Matou who carried him into the room, put him on the bed and tended to his injuries.
Emiya Shirou opened his mouth, but said nothing to Matou Shinji. Matou Shinji looked at Annuo again, but Annuo also sighed, shook his head and said nothing.
"...I understand. Anyway, let me help Shirou take care of his injuries first."
I'm a little helpless, but now I'd better help my friend stop the bleeding.
"That's too much...Mr. Saber, what on earth are you..."
Sakura covered her mouth, looking a little worried and distressed.
"We're fine...Saber, tell me those things, I...forget it."
Emiya Shirou looked at the ceiling and gritted his teeth.
He found that he never seemed to care about the people around him.
At least... Shirou Emiya Shirou doesn't understand her Akuko who has been hiding herself all this time.
This is not the fault of Kazuko. Anyone who has been injured or left a scar will try to cover it up. No one will take the initiative to tell others that they have been injured until the disguise is taken away.
not to mention--
It's a wound like Akuko's.
Emiya Shirou did not doubt whether what Akuko experienced was true or false.
That look...
Anyone who has never experienced something like that would never show such an expression.
"Shenji... I'm here to [form an alliance] with you."
Emiya Shirou closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"An alliance?"
Matou Shinji was a little confused.
It's not that he was confused because of Emiya Shirou's purpose, which was to form an alliance.
But because... Emiya Shirou was confused as to why he was so seriously injured on the way to form an alliance.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine...uh-"
Emiya Shirou still wanted to speak harshly, but his physical condition obviously did not allow him to speak harshly.
"Lie down for me."
Frowning, Matou Shinji pushed Emiya Shirou back.
"If you have anything to do, please wait until I bandage your wound first...Sakura, please go pick two more leaves."
Matou Shinji took out a roll of bandages from the desk drawer.
That kind of healing magic that can completely restore people on the spot does exist, but Matou Shinji can't use it, so he still needs to use something like a bandage to assist.
After all, humans are not individuals like Servants who are basically composed entirely of magic power. Unless the injury is not serious, it will take time for pure magic to quickly recover from the injury.
"Shenji, I..."
"I told you not to talk!"
Matou Shinji glared at Shirou.
Shirou couldn't hold it in and could only keep his mouth shut.
Now that people are helping you treat your injuries, just let it go for two minutes.
"Well......"
His eyebrows trembled slightly, Emiya Shirou felt the pain in his body.
Sister Mustard...
He didn't pay attention to the pain in his body. What he remembered was that Kazuko was about to turn around and leave, but then looked back and looked at him with angry eyes.
[Emiya...Shirou...think clearly, what kind of determination do you rely on to use your own wishes to prevent other people's wishes?]
......I......
Are my wishes really just stolen castles in the air?
......No.
Emiya Shirou closed his eyes and gritted his teeth hard, enduring the pain and competing with himself.
A righteous partner... definitely not to that extent.
People who are confused often think of why they have longing for their wishes.
The darkness in front of him was not nothingness, Emiya Shirou saw that smile.
That Emiya Kiritsugu held up his hand in the ruins and put it on his own face. He obviously saved himself, but it was as if he had been rescued. He felt extremely happy, but also so sad that it was indescribable.
smile.
...At that time, why did Kiritsugu smile like that?
Emiya Shirou once asked Emiya Kiritsugu this question, but Emiya Kiritsugu did not answer Emiya Shirou.
He just said lightly with a smile "Because it's not you who is rescued".
The best of both worlds doesn't exist in this world, but Shirou Emiya... wants that situation.
He wants to make others happy, but...
Can such emotions really be used to stop other people's dreams?
This was Emiya Shirou's current concentrated struggle.
...But no matter what, at least, you must first finish what you are doing from beginning to end.
...This is definitely not an escape.
You must find a way to solve this problem yourself.
"Saber, do you know...more details related to Sister Achieve?"
"Instead of asking me, maybe someone else knows more... I don't think he would reject you."
Annuo didn't say anything, but it seemed like he said everything.
"Huh?...I understand."
Emiya Shirou was stunned for a moment, and then Xiang An's face appeared in front of his eyes...
Xiang An is Xiang Yu's younger brother...
In other words, Mr. Xiang An is the younger brother of Sister Jie’s husband.
If you ask Mr. Xiang An, you can indeed learn more about Sister Mustard.
No, reject it...
Emiya Shirou almost understood what Anno meant.
Xiang An may know that Mustafa has been trapped in his own self-tangle for thousands of years. That kind of obsession will eventually cause problems. If it is not solved, Mustafa... may enter the world.
In an unstable state.
Xiang An didn't want to see that scene.
In the end, it is either necessary to untie the knot in Akuko's heart... or let Xiang Yu untie the knot in Akuko's heart.
There is no third option.
The so-called best of both worlds... the possibility.
Emiya Shirou nodded. He was still a little confused in his heart, but... this was at least something that could be noticed.
If you want to be a righteous partner, you can't just use your own justice to do what you think is right...
Is that so?
Emiya Shirou opened his eyes again and looked at Matou Shinji.
"Okay, this is almost done."
Shenji finally tied the bandage, wiped the sweat, and then his expression became a little more serious.
"Shirou, I don't know what happened to you, but next time, no matter what, don't hurt yourself like this. If your justice requires this level of injury, I would rather you not insist on your justice, understand.
