Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 119: The end of this volume: Is it the finale in the prologue?! (1! Please vote! Please subscribe automatically!)
117. Shirou vs. Goetia! Face-to-face confrontation!

This is opportunity.

Shirou knew that this was an opportunity created by multiple miracles.

Ten years. Before that, Shirou, Rin and Father Kotomine spent ten years studying the power of the "Dark Warrior", but the result was only to figure out:
The growth of the Dark Warrior's power does not follow the growth of Shirou's body. The principle is actually more like a network connecting a 'Dark Warrior Aggregate'. The stronger Shirou's body is, the thicker the network cable, and the more power can be 'downloaded' at the same time.

In other words, in Shirou's training mission of "Mastering the Power of the Dark Warrior", the progress bar of this mission is actually pseudo-infinite.

The stronger Shirou becomes, the more power he can download. No matter how strong he becomes, he can never reach the top. Where is the real end of this endless training?

That is Shirou completely surpassing the 'aggregate of dark warriors' - the absolute demon king: the dragon demon Azi Dahaka himself.

Before this, whenever Shirou wanted to use the power of the Dark Warrior, he just released the seal and entered the 'Rampage State'.

Is it possible to control this power and use it for your own benefit without it going out of control?

The chosen children used various methods to search for a full ten years.

After these ten years, Shirou himself is actually no longer the strongest individual combat power among the children. There are many people who are better than him in mysterious knowledge, and there are also many who are stronger than him in personal fighting skills. Shirou's truly irreplaceable outstanding point is actually 'forging'.

Of course, this is all without taking into account the power of the 'Dark Warrior'.

As for how to suppress the rampage and make proper use of the power of darkness, Shirou, Rin, and Father Kotomine have been searching for ten years, but to no avail.

But I didn’t expect it!
did not expect!
By the miraculous coincidence of the double success, as if it was a script cast by fate, the answer suddenly appeared in front of Shirou!
That's 'Music Magic'!
In the magic system, there are actually quite a few magic tricks that use sound as a catalyst, but this is a very niche subject. Even if there are, most of them are "Kagura" - that is, the ritual in which the shrine maidens use singing and dancing to communicate with the gods during sacrificial ceremonies (both ancient and modern, both in China and abroad).

The emphasis is also on 'communication with God' rather than 'music itself'.

This was an unexpected blind spot.

The answer that had been elusive appeared right in front of him when the Demon King blocked the door and the Demon King casually grabbed a few of his subordinates, Mozart, who was temporarily captured for slacking off.

Mozart himself might not have expected this. As a musical demon, he was not good at fighting and had no interest in mysticism. He probably didn't even know the principle of the dark warrior's transformation.

At this moment, multiple coincidences became the cornerstone of the miracle.

Save Olga Marie and let everyone escape from the Demon King - there is even a chance to destroy the Grand Time Temple right here!
We must seize this moment of miracle opportunity——

projection.

Shirou called for his sword, Caster.

Kaster was indeed bounced away by the Demon King's "Counter-Summoning", but for some reason, the place where Kaster was bounced was inside Shirou's unfinished inherent barrier, to Shirou's forging assistant Cong Yu.

However, Shirou's attempt to summon Caster again failed.

It's not that Custer didn't want to respond to the call, but she was in an extremely weak state at this moment. The energy in her body was "emptied" in one breath by the counter-summoning. She lost her fighting power. It was not because of a serious injury, but she simply needed time to rest. She could not return to the battlefield in a short time.

But Shirou didn't have time to wait for her now.

——Luckily

Incredible coincidences, a miracle that came together, appeared again.

There is another person here, someone who should not be here in the original 'script'.

"——Akagi-senpai!"

Mustard Hinako!
Although her brain is not very good, she does not quite understand her own power, and she does not know how to use her own abilities. She even has a serious debuff of "fear of humans" in the Human Era.

But! Her existence itself is the key to breaking the deadlock!
The spirit of the earth, the manifestation of the earth's purification, the energy overflowing from the stars, accidentally transformed into a human form. If she was born in the ultra-ancient mythological chicken-eating war era, she might also be a god fighting for hegemony.

Her existence itself is Shirou's other material for forging the 'ultimate sword' besides Caster!

Let’s fight together!

Although Senior Jie’s brain isn’t very good, at this time you don’t need to understand, just feel it!
Following Shirou's call, Aku Hinako's body immediately released its human form, turned into blood and came into Shirou's hands, transforming back into the shape of a sword!

projection.

Shirou wanted to project and reproduce the "ultimate sword" that he had seen ten years ago, when Sun Wukong fought Wuzhiqi with the golden cudgel.

During these ten years, although Shirou himself was not good at research, he naturally also investigated the information about the golden cudgel because he had connected with Weber.

The golden hoop is the 'world'.

Not just the 'pillars of the world', but also the 'world itself'.

The so-called "changes as desired" is essentially the "power of creation."

The golden cudgel is not the 'core of the God of Creation', but it can be regarded as the 'power of creation' in the rules, and it also has the effect of the 'power of creation'.

In some areas of Southeast Asia, Sun Wukong is worshipped as the "God of Creation", which in a sense is a blessing in disguise.

In other words, although the Monkey King of the Type-Moon World is not a "Creator God (Almighty God)" like Smoke Mirror, Odin, Lucifer, and Zeus, he does have at least the same power.

The only problem for Shirou, the wielder of the golden cudgel, is that he doesn't know how to use it.

The only way Shirou knew to use the golden cudgel was from the sword he saw in his past memories when Sun Wukong fought against Wuzhiqi.

And at this moment! What Shirou needs is this sword!
Projection!
Even if it is just an illusory fantasy, please let me create the real "ultimate sword" right here and now, just like the fake "Kagero (Mirage)"!

【--at the same time】

[Will the Demon King be able to react to what Shirou is planning to do? ]

[If the Demon King fails to react, then the judgment will be whether Shirou can destroy the Grand Time Temple.]

[If the Demon King reacts, then the judgment will be made as 'Shirou and the Demon King will fight'.]

[Difficulty: 90 (Although the Demon King is in full godly form, the difficulty has increased significantly due to the opportunity created by Mozart and Shirou's double success this time)]

[Demon King's 'Attention to Shirou': 1D100=92 (He only has eyes for you. Olga? Ritsuka? Who is that? I don't know you)]

The opportunity for a surprise attack—did not arise.

In singularity F, in the eyes of the Demon King, there was no one except Shirou from beginning to end.

Whether it's Ritsuka Fujimaru, who has many suspicious points on him, or Olga Marie, the last descendant of the Animusphia family, the source of all evil and the star priestess, their brilliance cannot be compared with Shirou in the eyes of the Demon King.

It should be said that not only the Demon King, but all the active demons at this time, focused their attention on Shirou.

The Demon King noticed it, but he did not intend to stop Shirou's actions, but planned - you want to fight! Then fight!

war!
Head-to-head confrontation!

In this battle, there is no so-called challenger, both sides are giving it their all!

Noticed the Demon King's gaze.

After understanding the Demon King's plan, before Shirou swung his sword with all his strength at this stage - he had one question.

Shirou could feel it.

The Demon King in front of him has a personality very similar to his own. He is like another self.

Although Shirou did not possess sufficient mystical knowledge, his intuition as a warrior allowed him to accidentally grasp the correct answer.

The Demon King's characteristic is 'Mirror'.

He is like a reflection. The Demon King will obtain the "personality" of the person facing him, borrow the personality of others, and then think and talk with them.

It is like a reflection of all life, a 'fake' of all human beings.

Shirou knew what kind of personality he had.

In that case—

"Why, destroy everything."

As long as you ask, the other party will probably give a straightforward answer - after all, that's Shirou's personality.

really.

The Demon King, who had acquired Shirou's personality and whose emotions had been fluctuating calmly, replied indifferently, as if it was a matter of course: "Because humans are not worth saving."

annoyed.

Perhaps because he was connected to the 'Dark Warrior Network', Shirou was able to borrow the personalities of the Dark Warriors and express his negative emotions more directly:

"Rin, Sakura, Shinji Weber, Lanis, Asagami, Ryogi - are you trying to say that none of the companions I know have the right to survive!?"

"no"

The Demon King calmly gave the answer to his decision to burn human nature:

"In my new world, everyone will be as good as the people you cherish - there is no need to bring the old world's poison into the new world.

In the new world, all human beings will be enlightened and have noble qualities. They will not suffer or despair, and will be able to face any fate calmly. Enlightened people will obtain true happiness, and the new world will inevitably be a perfect world.

I can take a few people to the new world, but you will only be in cages, as witnesses of the old times of the 'brave new world'."

"------"

After hearing the Demon King's reply, everyone was speechless.

Ritsuka endured the pain and couldn't help muttering: "Why is this guy like a robot? Is this some mysterious version of the Omnic Crisis?"

Roman slumped in his seat as if he had lost his soul, hiding the expression on his face under his hands.

Shirou completely understood.

I understood what the Demon King meant.

In the words of Sakura, Shinji and Miss Gamesh, the Demon King is the kind of person who is "perfectly strong and has no emotions when playing strategy games."

In his eyes, the world is like a game. When the development does not satisfy him, he will not hesitate to "load the game" or "restart".

There won't be any psychological burden.

It's just a 'game' that can be started at any time.

Is this also the case with human civilization in the eyes of God?

Is God just playing a game called 'Civilization'?
If the Demon King is God's agent...

"God does not understand the human heart."

Shirou could assert this.

The Demon King remained calm and did not intend to respond to this comment: to be more precise, he felt it did not matter.

Everything accumulated by human civilization in this round is meaningless in the eyes of the Demon King.

The glory created by a small number of human beings through their wisdom, courage, enlightenment and other positive efforts is, in the eyes of the Demon King - worthy of praise and praise, but meaningless.

One rat droppings spoils the whole pot of porridge.

As long as humans have any flaws, as long as some humans are so ugly, then the Demon King will feel that the entire "Civilization Game" and the entire archive have lost their value.

Just reboot.

Just start over again.

"It's not your turn to decide the value of something. You are the one! You don't understand human nature, you don't really live in this world, you just sit on the throne high above and indulge in beautiful fantasies in your ivory tower!"

Just because something goes wrong, you have to destroy everything?
anger!

Transformed into sword intent!

Concentrated in Shirou's hands!

The ultimate sword!
The strongest blow!
Shirou had seen it before.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang is not just one of the pillars of the world. It is also recorded in "Journey to the West" that it was refined by Taishang Laojun, one of the supreme gods of Taoism, and transformed into a weapon.

In other words, the sword swung by the golden cudgel in Sun Wukong's hand that turned into a sword is the essential manifestation of the concept of the world in the Type-Moon world, the root of divinity, and - 'void'.

The attack of the God of the Void is enough to penetrate time, cut through space, and materialize the authority of the Almighty God within the world.

The ultimate divine weapon——the weapon of the void.

In scientific terms, it is a black hole. (← Type-Moon Family Setting)
The so-called God of the Void is the power of the black hole.

The golden cudgel, as a kind of 'power of creation', once exerted such power in the hands of Sun Wukong.

That power transcends time, allowing Shirou and Rin to only observe the past through memory fragments, but allowing the Goku in the past memory to transcend time and space and see the future Shirou, thus establishing a fate that would last from then on.

Then Shirou got the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand.

Even though Shirou is still very weak, he does not have the strength to truly control the golden cudgel.

But as the strongest fake, Shirou is good at 'projection'.

Break the virtual and turn it into reality.

Project the power of the sword in past memories here!
Towards the Demon King!
"Let me put an end to your silly fantasy!"

The Demon King didn't care at all about Shirou's dislike for him at this moment.

Just like enjoying it.

Sensing what Shirou was planning to do, he used his 'mirror' ability to transform his appearance into Shirou's. Then, he used the power of the temple and the throne to extract a portion of the power in his own halo, transformed it into a sharp blade and slash, and released it at Shirou.

Is this the legendary realm of demons and angels?
No, not even close to those.

The other party possesses magical power that can be said to be inexhaustible.

Its existence alone is enough to crush the dominance of a domain - it can be said to be equivalent to God's creation!
It should be said that this is almost the 'apparition' of God himself!

The light that was supposed to save the world was used to destroy it.

The darkness that was used to save the world was supposed to destroy it.

Shirou vaguely sensed something. Was the opponent imitating Shirou's moves and performing a 'mirror projection' on Shirou himself?
Like a reflection of twin mirrors, the winner will be decided here!
"[Humanity Burning Style: Goetia]"

The Demon King named this attack after his own name.

Shirou launched an attack with all his might at the fake creature that possessed the power of God and claimed to be God!
is God?

Or a demon?
No matter who you are, no matter whether you are legitimate and just or not, if you want to destroy everything I want to protect, I will destroy you!

This blow!
“——【God’s Purification and Demon Suppression】!!!”

【Shirou Vs Demon King】

【Confrontation judgment! 】

[It is not enough for Shirou to just win. He needs to surpass the Demon King's on-the-spot performance by 250 points in order to destroy the Grand Temporal Temple.]

[Shirou's 'Projection Slash (Ultimate On-the-Spot Performance)': 1D1000=917]

[Demon King's 'Humanity Burning Style - Goetia (Extreme On-the-Spot Performance)': 1D1000=923]

The gap between the two sides is minimal!

The Demon King's "Humanity Burning Method" had a slight advantage, and the light of destruction suppressed the darkness of salvation.

【Shirou's result is.】

[1/3/5, Successfully covered the retreat for other companions, but was captured by Goetia]

[2/6, the gap is very small. Although we failed to directly destroy the Grand Time Temple, there may be a chance for everyone to retreat (additional judgment)]

[4. Othinus, who has been hiding for a long time, appears! Help everyone retreat! ]

[7. Othinus shows up to help retreat, but Olga Marie is captured]

[8/9, Shirou changes his tactics on the spot and tries to guide the collision of the two huge forces of light and darkness - even if he cannot destroy the temple, he can temporarily cut off the connection between the temple and the outside world! (Additional judgment is required to see if this can be done)]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】

The moment Shirou realized that the Demon King's counterattack was so overbearing and powerful, he knew that it was impossible to surpass this attack and destroy the temple.

So Shirou changed his strategy.

In the final analysis, both Shirou and Musashi are the kind of people who will not ruin the overall situation for their own selfish desires of fighting. Realizing that he could not destroy the temple halfway, Shirou adjusted his strength and turned to use the two forces of light and darkness to destroy the connection between the Grand Time Temple and the outside world!
The Grand Temperament Temple is a perfect inherent barrier that does not even require the step of "the mental landscape eroding and covering the real world". It is completely independent and is an alternate dimension world beyond time and space.

But on the contrary!
If you want to interfere with the real physical world from the world of the Grand Time Temple, you need a 'channel' in the middle!
If we cut off this passage——then everyone can escape safely!
That is

——Dimension Slash!

[Shirou attempts to activate 'Dimension Slash' to cut off the connection between the Grand Time Temple and the outside world]

[If successful, Shirou can now escape with everyone intact]

[Difficulty: 100]

[If the total exceeds 150, the Demon King will be unable to repair the channel in a short period of time and will temporarily be unable to interfere with Shirou's Chaldea salvation team's "singularity repair" work.]

[Shirou's 'Use the collision of light and darkness to try to perform a Dimensional Slash': 1D100=97]

[Mozart's 'Assistance·Music Magic (Power of the Dark Warrior)': 1D100=78]

[Total: 175]

[Shirou's great success reward: The Demon King's work of repairing the channel connecting the temple to the outside world will become more difficult - in other words, all singularities are out of the Demon King's control at this moment]

Almost at the moment when Shirou made a judgment and swung out the Dimension Slash - Othinus, who had been bounced away by the Demon King's counter-summoning, suddenly appeared next to Fujimaru Ritsuka!
Anti-summoning doesn't work on her?
No, it should be that she used something as an anchor to "summon" herself over at the critical moment.

Othinus, who represents Odin, also has many mysteries surrounding her - including why she appeared in Fuyuki City, which is confusing in the first place.

But at least it's good now.

Mozart disappeared quietly at some point.

"Forced anti-spirit transfer!"

Everyone - evacuated successfully!
At the very end, Shirou saw the Demon King for the last time - maybe the next time they meet will be the real decisive battle?

Perhaps because of the influence of the Dark Warrior's power, Shirou left behind a sentence, a "cruel word" that he would never say out loud even if he thought about it in his heart.

"I can't do it now, but next time! The next time we meet, I will forge a sword that can cut the temple in half!"

☆

[Does Othinus act with Chaldea?]

[1. Yes]

[2. Othinus went off on his own to investigate something (in the original work, he will return at the latest in the British Lostbelt)]

【1D2=2】

After returning to Chaldea, Shirou did not see Othinus.

Did she leave? Or did she feel that she had something to do? Something she wanted to investigate?
It feels possible
Anyway.

"Despite all that happened, we were able to retreat successfully! Although we were unable to retrieve the Holy Grail."

Leonardo da Vinci was the first to greet everyone, and under the leadership of Roman, he and the surviving staff sent everyone to the temporarily cleared medical room.

So where did the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City end up?

It felt like it was missing halfway through the final battle.

Maybe it disappeared, maybe it was destroyed? But the Fuyuki singularity has also disintegrated, and everything seems to have come to an end.

“I really want to congratulate you, or give you a celebration party or something, but unfortunately, Chaldea is still in its worst condition. Although the Fuyuki singularity has been dealt with, if the Holy Grail cannot be recovered, the resources will not be able to be turned around. In other words…”

Da Vinci spread his hands and looked helpless.

Little Da Vinci, wearing a mini nurse skirt, gave an answer that made everyone feel helpless:

"We can't rest yet, we can only take a short breath. If we don't get replenishment, I'm afraid the remaining people won't be able to hold on for much longer."

In other words.

"After a short rest and some reorganization, we will have to embark on a new journey immediately. The destination has been chosen. It is the singularity where the suspicious Mozart disappeared. It is France in 1431, during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, after the execution of Joan of Arc."

Shirou wasn't surprised by this.

Rather, he knew more.

Shirou honestly expressed his concerns - which were also the biggest and most serious problem that everyone in Chaldea had to face at this time:
"After this battle, the Demon King will definitely not give up. Once the connection between the Grand Temporal Temple and the outside world is restored, he will definitely attack us immediately. In other words, we must repair the singularity before then and find a way to defeat the Demon King."

That is to say-

"This singularity repair journey will be a 'speed race'." Da Vinci sighed helplessly.

Shirou closed his eyes.

Before starting a new journey, I fell into a deep sleep and took the time to recuperate - for a new adventure.

☆

Because the situation in all aspects was so bad, and although the Fuyuki singularity won in the end, the important resource of the Holy Grail was not recovered.

Therefore, the restoration work of the Chaldea base was difficult to advance.

This directly leads to the following results:
"The soul particle transfer of the Fuyuki singularity was initiated by relying on the resources before Chaldea was destroyed, but Chaldea cannot provide so many resources and manpower now."

As the only remaining technician in Chaldea, Mashu had to take on the job of being the general manager of Chaldea's technical restoration - specifically, taking charge of all the trivial logistical processing.

Mash gave everyone her own data report on the current situation of Chaldea:

"Ideally, we should dispatch a large number of Masters and summon a large number of Servants to carry out the work of historical revision, but the reality is that our current manpower is limited to supporting a Master in the transfer of spirit particles, let alone summoning a large number of Servants.

In addition, due to the Demon King's 'Anti-summoning' effect, my brother's (Shirou) Servant status has been destroyed. In other words, my brother is now just a... well, a 'Master' with Servant-level combat power."

Since he is the Master, he cannot be taken along as a 'Servant', and the number of people who can go into battle is further reduced.

"The good news is that since my brother is now a Master, he can also summon Servants. In the long run, our upper limit of combat power has increased. As long as we can get through the current difficulties."

Mash continued:

"However, because time was too short and there was no time to repair it, my brother had countless tiny hidden injuries in his body from swinging that last sword, and it is even impossible to forcibly repair it through the 'forging method'. The injury itself is actually not a big problem, because in principle it is more like 'metal fatigue', as long as there is enough time to repair it - but we have neither time nor enough resources to treat it now."

Then, do we have to rush and let Shirou go to the front line alone without having enough time to recover to full condition?
That's not necessarily the case.

After all, there are always exceptions.

That's Ritsuka Fujimaru!
Fujimaru Ritsuka has an incredibly high and excellent 'Spirit Transfer Adaptability'.

The higher the adaptability of the lepton transfer, the less manpower and resources are needed to support the lepton transfer operation. In other words -

[Can Ritsuka transfer spirit particles with almost zero consumption? ]

[If possible, then Shirou will not have to go alone on the next singularity repair journey]

[If that doesn't work, at least for the strategy of conquering the French singularity, Shirou must go alone.]

[Lucky judgment, requirement 75]

[Ritsuka's 'Luck': 1D100=94]

——Ritsuka can now almost be said to be a card with 0 cost!
If you have to count.

In fact, there are quite a few people on the next journey.

Shirou himself, Caster who is Shirou's weapon, Illya who is a data body in Shirou's Heroic Spirits Picture Book, and Ritsuka who can be used at 0 Cost -

Huh?
If you calculate it this way, it seems
"Why does it seem like I'm the only one who can't go?!" Aku Hinako couldn't help but complain out loud.

Incidentally.

Strictly speaking, Olga Marie actually went along as well.

Although Olga Marie managed to escape, after the collapse of the Fuyuki singularity, Olga Marie, who had long been dead and whose body had evaporated, was left in a state almost like ash as an incomplete data body. Illya used the power of the magical girl and preserved it in Shirou's Heroic Spirit Atlas.

Olga Marie fell into a deep sleep and no one knew when or what opportunity would wake her up.

But after all, the possibility of "resurrection" is retained.

After a few rounds, it seemed that Mustard Hinako had to be left behind.

Shirou supports Aku Hinako staying in the Chaldea base: "According to the intelligence, although the mastermind behind the Chaldea explosion is the Demon King, the real executor is someone else, and he seems to be hiding. In other words, when I set out for the singularity, the Chaldea base is still likely to be attacked."

To be more precise, there might be a 'ghost' among the survivors inside the Chaldea base.

Roman was silent after hearing this.

Da Vinci said: "Although I am omnipotent, my omnipotence is now basically used to keep the base from collapsing."

Therefore, it is necessary to leave combat power in Chaldea to avoid being robbed - before obtaining more combat power, Aku Hinako is obviously the only choice.

Aku Hinako puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

But there is nothing we can do.

but--

Shirou objects to Ritsuka going with him: "I can go alone. If she is at the front line, it is very likely that if I am not paying attention, that devil will seize the opportunity to seduce her again."

Ritsuka's family members - his brother Ritsuka and his friend Orita - had similar views after learning everything.

"Since we don't have the resources to summon more servants now, it would be meaningless for Ritsuka to go to the front line." There is nothing wrong with what Shirou said.

but--

"Although Ritsuka was also affected by the 'Anti-Summoning', it may be because she was holding a round table at the time, so she still retains a physique similar to that of a 'Sub-Servant'."

Da Vinci stood up to speak for Li Xiang:
"The round table can be used as a shield in her hands. She is now like a 'shield soldier' servant. The shield will give her strong defense and strong resistance to various negative effects - to put it bluntly."

Da Vinci pointed at Shirou:
"Now! Ritsuka is more 'fleshy' than you! Much more 'fleshy' than you, a human being of flesh and blood!"

Ritsuka himself raised his shield and said, "Let me be your shield! Shirou-senpai!"

Little Da Vinci also chimed in, "Considering Ritsuka's perfect adaptability to spirit particle transfer, in the current time and space disorder environment, even if she is left alone or locked up, she may accidentally travel through time in her sleep - so let's take her with us!"

Even Roman stood up to persuade Shirou: "Although she doesn't look as strong as you, we have checked and found that her physical strength is much higher than yours, and the Shield of the Round Table gives her powerful defensive capabilities. It's hard to say who is more dangerous on the front line. If you bring her with you, it will just make up for your weakness of 'high attack and low defense', right?"

Shirou finally agreed reluctantly.

It's not that Shirou wants to use Ritsuka as a 'meat shield'.

The main thing is that Ritsuka's physique may allow him to travel through time at any time. In this case, it would be better to bring him with him from the beginning.

In other words.

Aku Hinako was furious!
"Why am I the only one left behind?!"

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

However, due to the severe shortage of supplies, this meal could not be too sumptuous.

Leonardo lost no time and modified the Round Table Shield in Ritsuka's hand, adding some storage functions similar to the 'space bag' - and most importantly, the resources obtained in the singularity can be transmitted back to Chaldea through the Round Table.

".Let's not talk about anything else, let's get some food back first." The person who said this was Ritsuka's brother, who was looking at his sister with a worried look on his face.

Because of the lack of manpower, after a round of waiting, the final result was that he, who had decent cooking skills, was chosen to be the current head of Chaldea's kitchen.

After enough resources are recovered and the Chaldea base can run a virtuous cycle, perhaps they, the backup masters, will also summon Servants and go to the front line?
Ritsuka himself had been hiding from his brother, and no one knew what he was thinking, so he spoke these words of advice to Shirou.

What could Shirou say?

He could only tell the other person truthfully: "Trust me, I will protect her."

Although from a numerical point of view, Ritsuka may be the front-line shield soldier to protect Shirou, the back-line damage dealer.

Because time is really tight, supplies are in short supply, and there is also the restriction of the 'speed race' with the Demon King.

Shirou had no choice but to set off in a hurry.

There is no time to wait for Caster to recover. Maybe there is no way to restore Caster, which is Shirou's weapon, now.

She herself was now lying in Shirou's inherent barrier workshop like a dehydrated salted fish, and she couldn't stop saying something like this:

"Shirou, Boss, I'm so hungry. Can you give me a belt or a pair of shoes?"

It's like a ghostly whisper.

By the way, Shirou wasn't some devil after all, so he naturally tried to feed her normal food, but she couldn't get full at all, and couldn't really recover effectively from those things.

I wonder if she could find food to fill her stomach in France in 1431.

I always feel that if the Holy Grail is thrown in front of her now, she will bite it without hesitation.

You can't just try 'real magic replenishment', right?

Caster does not simply lack magical power. She is not a servant in the normal sense, but a data lifeform.

In other words, the Demon King's "counter-summoning" actually caused Caster to fall into a serious state of "data confusion".

Maybe we can let her consume more data to make up for it?

Specifically,

Da Vinci thought: "You can try to let her eat the monsters and beasts that appear due to the formation of the singularity, maybe you can make up for her missing data. If that doesn't work, feeding her the Holy Grail should also work."

Let’s try it when the time comes.

There isn't much that can be prepared to repair the French singularity. Not only do we need a strategy, but we also have to get as many materials as possible.

Fortunately, Shirou was not in a completely confused state when he set out this time.

First of all, according to the information revealed by Mozart, he should also be in the French singularity.

Whether he is a friend or foe remains a mystery. If we can get his help, we can not only obtain more information about the Demon King, but also - we may be able to obtain from him the method of suppressing the side effects of the power of the "Dark Warrior" through music magic.

Besides that, history itself is also equivalent to half a 'strategy guide', right?

It’s just that Shirou is going to correct history, not rewrite it.

Fortunately, we went there at a time when "Joan of Arc had already died". If it had been before that, many people might have been confused about whether to save Joan of Arc.

Illya, who has no fighting power at the moment, but has replaced Shirou's former assistant, Rin Tousaka, did mention one thing:

"That being said, whether Joan of Arc died at the stake in history is a mystery, right? There have always been many sayings like 'Joan of Arc didn't die at all'. After her death, many people who claimed to be Joan of Arc fought for power and many people claimed to be saints who had received divine revelations.

Some of them even had the support of Jeanne's father and brother.

Oh, by the way, let me tell you a useless trivia. In addition to the most outrageous witch version of 'Joan of Arc with the Axe' that Shakespeare wrote to discredit Joan of Arc, there was also a fake Joan of Arc in history who 'could almost be said to be the real Joan of Arc'. It is said that both her appearance and abilities are almost exactly the same.

Many people even believe that she is the real Joan of Arc - that is, 'Joan of Almoses'.

By the way, it is said that Joan of Arc herself did not leave any portrait, but this "Joan of Almoses", who was said to have the same abilities and appearance as the real Joan of Arc, and even Joan's parents and brothers could not tell the real thing from the fake, did leave a portrait.

The statues and paintings of Joan of Arc that have been circulated in later generations are not based on the real Joan of Arc, but on this fake Joan of Arc. "

It's really some wonderful trivia.

I don’t know if it will be of any use.

Illya was a little happy that she had temporarily replaced Rin. She just didn't know which singularity Rin and the others had fallen into, and when they could meet again.

"Are we heading to an era of 'Diffusion of Millions of Jeanne d'Arc'?" Ritsuka couldn't help but complain, "But it's also possible that this fake Jeanne d'Arc is actually the real Jeanne d'Arc who escaped death?"

Illya: "I don't know about that. It's a historical mystery after all."

Shirou: "This is a clue. Since we can travel through time, we can just go and verify it - maybe we can get help."

Illya changed the subject and said, "Actually, there is also a legend similar to 'Resurrecting Jeanne d'Arc'. Anyway, this is what the legendary figure is like. Let's go and see for ourselves!"

indeed.
