Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 31 Confession (Newbies please read!!!)
30. Love is warmer than hope and deeper than despair!

--wrong

No, no, no, no, no, no
There must be something wrong. There must be something wrong!!!

Toosaka Rin's heart was wailing. The piercing pain really emerged out of nowhere in Toosaka Rin's heart. The pain made the young Toosaka Rin almost cry out.

But
"Crying? Crying counts as time."

The incomparable pressure, like the collapse of the sky, shocked Toosaka Rin while forcibly blocking the tears that were about to burst out of her mouth.

A teasing yet cruel voice came out from Emiya Shirou's mouth—

No, 'that' wasn't Shirou.

The person who appeared in front of Toosaka Rin, Miyamoto Musashi, and Kotomine Kallen at this moment, standing in the center of the ritual formation and exuding a sense of oppression in the courtyard of the Toosaka family mansion, was definitely not Shirou!
It is the Dragon Demon that is controlling Shirou's body.

Shirou's consciousness was suppressed, and his head was covered by a dragon-shaped skeleton mask with a pair of huge horns.
No, that's not right, not 'cover'.

That mask seemed to have grown out of Shirou's flesh and blood!
Toosaka Rin couldn't understand the current situation.

No, this doesn't mean that Toosaka Rin didn't guess that there might be an accident, nor does it mean that Toosaka Rin didn't prepare any preventive measures.

The dragon demon will interfere with the ritual.

Of course Toosaka Rin guessed this, after all, this is a ritual to usurp the power of the Dragon Demon Aziz Dakaha!

but--

In Toosaka Rin's original plan,

To be precise, there is a huge 'precondition' for Toosaka Rin to perform the ceremony to usurp the power of the dragon demon.

The condition is: although the dragon demon can interfere, it can never interfere directly, and the extent of the interference is very limited.

The Dragon Demon cannot interfere directly: once he does, he will trigger a chain with his nemesis, the Warrior of Light, Bahram, who will intercept the Dragon Demon Azdahaka.

The Dragon Demon's interference is limited: because Shirou accidentally became a mushroom man, his heart is like a monk who has practiced hard for many years and has no "evil thoughts".

Because there is no "evil thought", the Dragon Demon, as the god of evil thoughts, naturally finds it difficult to intervene.

Toosaka Rin herself also confirmed through the 'narration' that she had no evil thoughts towards Shirou.

So - why is this happening now?

Why can it happen! ?
"You're inexperienced, Rin. You're confused about where the 'evil thoughts' that I can use are - right?"

The Dragon Demon was speaking in Shirou's voice.

But that was something that the always silent and indifferent Shirou that Toosaka Rin knew would never have, emotional banter, and a voice like that of an elder educating a child who had made a mistake:

"Gem magic, magic that uses 'money' as power, a system that can efficiently convert 'property' into power - doesn't this satisfy the requirements?"

"cold"

"'Money' is 'evil'."

"No, that's not right!" Toosaka Rin gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and refuted the Dragon Demon, "Even if you want to give these money the nature of 'evil', I use these 'money (gems)' to save people! It is used as an act of 'goodwill'! I absolutely do not have any greed in my heart, and I do not have any desire to exchange it for my own interests!"

That's right.

Toosaka Rin didn't lie.

Although she often said that the money spent on Shirou was to buy his future to serve her, to bind him and make him help her win the fifth Holy Grail War in the future.

But both Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou actually knew it very well.

Toosaka Rin is just a tsundere who says she is not convinced.

There is no evil thought or anything like that—

"You're wrong, Rin."

However, the Dragon Demon firmly denied Toosaka Rin's sincere words and harshly accused:
"Let me ask you a question in return - is the act of saving the majority of people evil?"

"Of course not." Toosaka Rin blurted out subconsciously.

The Dragon Demon then said firmly: "Then abandoning the majority in order to save the minority is an evil act!"

"Varied--"

The Dragon Demon did not give Rin a chance to refute, but instead pressed on: "Rin, you are very smart, and although you are young, you are very mature, so you cannot be unaware of this:

The wealth accumulated by you and the Tohsaka family is huge, maybe not as much as those big capital tycoons, but you are a true lord in Fuyuki City.

Because of the disaster of the Fourth Holy Grail War led by the Three Great Families, the number of victims in Fuyuki City who have lost their homes and loved ones is now more than a hundred thousand.

You can use this money to save more people, you can use this money to do good deeds

Instead of doing it for selfish reasons, just to save one person, or for your own sake, you should do it with the 'evil' thought of saving only one person! "

"I don't think so!" Toosaka Rin immediately retorted: "I want to save more people! That's why I hold this ceremony. If it succeeds, Shirou can absorb those who are suffering from the influence of 'the black mud of all the evil in this world'. This is the way to save more people!"

"You are lying." The Dragon Demon said firmly.

"I didn't." Toosaka Rin retorted sharply.

The dragon demon said, "You deceived yourself."

Toosaka Rin: "I——"

"Rin, stop lying to yourself. You should know it clearly. Your self-proclaimed righteous behavior is, after all, just a desperate gamble. If you lose the bet, Shirou will not be able to obtain the power of the dragon demon and become a dark warrior. Then he will not be able to absorb the black mud and will not be able to save more people.

Many people who could have been saved with your money will die without a burial place because of this!

Ha! Or did you, as the lord of Fuyuki City, deliberately and unconsciously betray your duties and leave these tasks to the rescue of the Japanese government?
You clearly knew that the rescue would not come, but you still made this choice, you made it unconsciously, you deceived yourself unconsciously - isn't this selfishness, isn't this evil?
Because of your choice, the only thing you can be sure of getting is Shirou Emiya's loyalty to you!

You deceived yourself!

Rather than choosing justice that saves the majority of people——

You chose the 'evil (selfish)' of buying yourself a loyal dog!"

The Dragon Demon's words were so aggressive that it made Toosaka Rin breathless. Finally, he delivered a fatal blow, the Hammer of Judgment on Toosaka Rin's "evil":

"Listen! The people's cries! Their suffering! What have they done wrong? They have done nothing wrong! They just want to survive! They need to survive! They need food! They need shelter! They need warm soup! They need clean water to quench their thirst!

Need——'money' that can buy these!"

The aggressive words turned into a hammer of judgment, hitting Toosaka Rin on the head.

At the same time, the evil thoughts of the entire Fuyuki City also rushed towards Toosaka Rin!

Fathers fighting over scarce supplies for their surviving children.

The villains took advantage of the situation to rob and fight with the local gangsters.

Instead of providing disaster relief, countless businessmen took the opportunity to speculate on the prices of various materials!
They had hopes for rescue, but when no rescue was seen, their hopes turned into curses and resentment, and these evil thoughts were directed at the incompetent government.
Go after people who have something you don't have.

Go for the rich, go for the rich and powerful!

Heading towards the Tousaka family!

Go towards Toosaka Rin!

This was a fatal miss by Toosaka Rin.

After learning that the Fourth Holy Grail War was over, Rin Toosaka, as a good student, naturally remembered the rules of the Holy Grail War, but she was inexperienced, so she had never considered the situation that even after the Holy Grail War was over, there would still be Servants left in the world.

The dragon demon's true body could not bypass Bahram's direct interference.

But, at this moment, under the identity of 'Kotomine Kirei', the Dragon Demon is in Fuyuki City!
Even if he cannot unleash violence directly, as the 'God of Evil', he can use his divine power to guide and manipulate Fuyuki City, which is now filled with malice due to the disaster!
Toosaka Rin is a good person.

The Tousaka family is indeed upright and full of idealistic aristocratic style, but this idea is actually their shortcoming.

If the Tosaka family is evil, whether it is oppressing the people of Fuyuki City, turning a blind eye to their suffering, or even taking advantage of the disaster to profit from it, then
This "acrobatic" use of the "evil thoughts" divine power is probably not going to work at all. But Toosaka Rin is a good person.

Good people are easily pointed at by the devil with a gun!

Toosaka Rin didn't even notice.

She had actually fallen into the trap set by the dragon demon.

Her 'spell battle' with the dragon demon Azidahaka has actually begun!

In the eyes of the Dragon Demon, the person to be "tested" is not only Emiya Shirou, but also Toosaka Rin!

These words of the Dragon Demon are not just moral kidnapping by waving the moral stick verbally, but a language attack with demonic evil power. They are the devil's "word spirit" that turns words into bullets!
Toosaka Rin had been hit by the 'Word Spirit', she couldn't even hear Miyamoto Musashi's anxious voice calling her: "Rin! Wake up! Tell me what I should do? How can I save Shirou? Can I attack him directly now?"

As the effect of the Word Spirit continues to grow, Toosaka Rin's ability to think will be imprisoned, and she will lose the ability to act!
[The Dragon Demon is using the 'Spirit of Evil' to seal Toosaka Rin's 'thinking ability'. If she fails to break free in time, Toosaka Rin will enter the 'inability to move' state.]

[1/2/7, Toosaka Rin tries to break free (high difficulty, difficulty 75)]

[3/4/5, Ms. Musashi helps (kicks) Rin Toosaka in her own way (extremely difficult to judge, difficulty 90)]

[6/8, Karen tries to use the Christian 'baptism chant' to break the magic (high difficulty judgment, difficulty 75)]

[9. Unconsciously sensing the danger of Toosaka Rin, Shirou's resistance interrupted the Dragon Demon's words]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=8】

[Karen's Baptism Chant: 1D100=98 (What a sudden turn of events!?)]

Miss Musashi is not good at mysticism after all. She didn't even notice in time that Toosaka Rin was attacked, and she couldn't understand what a word spirit attack was.

Miss Musashi was a little slow.

But five-year-old Karen completed this thought in an instant:
Dad didn't say I couldn't help, nor did he ask me to help him.

Then I just need to act with the premise of improving the favorability of Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou.

In other words.

Kallen: Dad is the enemy now!

After all, she was born in a monastery, so Kallen immediately tried to use the baptismal chanting "hymns" of the Cathedral Church to fight against the evil words of the dragon demon!
But Karin soon realized that she was too weak and powerless, and it would be difficult and dangerous to confront her father's words head-on.

Therefore, Kallen adjusted her thinking and decided to assist by strengthening Toosaka Rin's consciousness to fight against the evil words of the dragon demon.

(Based on my interactions with her over the past month, the 'weakness' of Toosaka Rin that I can exploit is:)

Take a deep breath—

Kallen rushed to the motionless Toosaka Rin, hugged her waist tightly, and then, when the Dragon Demon and Musashi were completely caught off guard, she cried out to Toosaka Rin at the top of her lungs:
"——Sister! Save me!!!"

[As a reward for Kallen's great success, Toosaka Rin's attitude towards Kallen is adjusted to be the same as 'Tousaka Sakura']

Toosaka Rin, whose body was becoming increasingly stiff, began to tremble violently!

The Dragon Demon's words were directly destroyed!

Toosaka Rin will soon regain her ability to move!

In the basement of Fuyuki Church, Jill, who was watching the 'live broadcast' remotely with clairvoyance, couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

The Dragon Demon kept raising his eyebrows.

The current super-expansion was not included in the spell battle strategy he had formulated.

However, regarding the development of this kind of kingly way, "a brave man in a mental dilemma regains his spirits with the encouragement of his companions", the Dragon Demon——

[Aziz Dahaka's 'mood' at this time: 1D100=90]

Distress? Troubled?
Do not!
Pleasure!

"Great! This is exactly the kind of hero I long to see! - But Kallen, even though you made this choice, you are not on the list of trials I originally drew up."

In the courtyard of the Tohsaka family, before Tohsaka Rin regained her ability to move, in front of Kallen, the Dragon Demon raised his hand and aimed in Kallen's direction:
"Why, you want to dance too?"

An invisible shock wave blasted towards Kallen and Toosaka Rin!
Miss Musashi could not understand what kind of stand attack she was facing, and could only rely on her intuition and use the power of the third eye to summon her own stand energy body 'Kurigara' to swing the sword!

Try to block and destroy the dragon demon's 'attack'!
[The dragon demon's attack is a spell that materializes Kallen's "evil thoughts" into a weapon - the physical manifestation is an "invisible mental shock wave that can cause physical damage"]

[The target of the attack is Kallen]

[Ms. Musashi tries to intercept——]

[Aziz Dahaka's 'Power of Absolute Evil (Human Evil, Evil Thoughts)': 1D300 (due to restrictions by Bahram, the upper limit is reduced) = 261]

[Ms. Musashi's 'Sword Swinging by Instinct (Substitute: Kurikara)': 1D100=79]

[Musashi's 'Sky Eye Observer' correction: 1D100=95]

[Total: 174]

【261＞174】

After all, Musashi is not good at these mysterious spells. Here, she can only be regarded as a very strong athlete.

She can handle head-on combat, but she is really not good at anything involving techniques!

The interception failed, the invisible shock wave directly bypassed Musashi who was blocking the front and attacked Kotomine Kallen!
Kallen immediately pushed away Toosaka Rin, who was hugging her, and tried to chant a hymn to defend herself.

[If Kallen's defense is successful, she will also be included in the test list of this 'trial']

[Aziz Dahaka's 'Curse·Absolute Evil (Human Evil·Evil Thoughts)': 1D100=96]

[Karen's 'God (Hymn)': 1D100=18]

"You use your faith in God to fight back?" The Dragon Demon shook his head. "Your faith is not enough (it's too far away)."

Kallen was blown away twenty meters away, and after rolling on the ground three times in a row, she stopped moving.

The Dragon Demon even had time to kindly tell Tohsaka Rin, who had just been freed from the Word Spirit by Kallen, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in people who don't accept the trial. She's just unconscious."

Toosaka Rin ignored the Dragon Demon's words.

Every failure makes one wiser. Toosaka Rin already knows how terrible and dangerous it is to listen to this guy's "words" and be led into a conversation by him!

Don't be led by his rhythm!
(I can’t waste the opportunity that Kallen created for me. What I should do now is—)
In Toosaka Rin's mind, a scene of what happened not long ago flashed through her mind.

Because of the accidental communication with the 'world on the other side of Chaldea', Shirou's true identity as a 'person from another world' was exposed.

Rin was worried that Shirou would leave her sooner or later, and when Shirou discovered her feelings, he decided to sign a contract with her before the ceremony began.
Shirou became the 'Shikigami' of Toosaka Rin.

If reality is a novel, perhaps that would be the "foreshadowing".

(Now, as an Onmyoji, I call upon the Shikigami - I call upon the suppressed consciousness of Shirou!)
“Wake up!!”

Didn’t you agree on this?
You have to be a god.
"——Protect (love) me!"

[Tousaka Rin attempts to awaken Shirou's consciousness, which is suppressed by the Dragon Demon, through the connection of the 'Shikigami Contract'——]

[Aziz Dahaka's 'Thousand Magic (Power/Limited by Bahram, upper limit reduced)': 1D300=241]

[Tousaka Rin's 'The Power of TMD Love!!! (Shikigami Contract)': 1D300=272]

【272＞241】

"——Shirou!!!"

The girl's call is the song of love.
