Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 36: Crazy Guy (Newbies please read! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
35. Madman

After summoning the Shadow of the Dragon Demon and destroying all attacks directed at him, the shadow of Azidahaka behind Shirou disappeared at the same time.

The reason is simple.

Even though he had obtained the power of the Dragon Demon and became a dark warrior, Shirou was only seven years old at that time. Whether in terms of his magic power reserves or his physical strength, he was far from growing into his prime as a man.

Even for Miss Musashi, who is already an adult, maintaining the manifestation of Kurikara Tendo is a very energy-consuming task, let alone the still young Shirou.

Miss Musashi was keenly aware of this:

(Controlling the Stand consumes a lot of energy for me, and it must be even more of a burden on Shirou's body! My understanding of the Stand has just improved, and the consumption has been greatly reduced.
In a stand-in battle, the advantage is on my side!)
Thinking of this, Musashi immediately decided that this time he would not rush into hand-to-hand combat with his sword, but instead directly use a stand battle to continuously weaken his physical strength!

Use Tiantong to kick him to death!

Musashi and his substitute, Kurikara Tendou, looked at each other. Tendou nodded slightly and immediately understood what his master meant.

"Rin, observe carefully behind me." Musashi whispered to Toosaka Rin.

Then, Musashi walked straight towards the 'Dark Warrior' in front of him who was wearing a dragon bone mask and looked like Shirou.

There was no intention of drawing either the sword or the gun.

Shirou seemed surprised. "You're just walking straight towards me like that?"

The sound that came out of Shirou's mouth at this time was extremely strange, as if Shirou's voice and the voice of another hoarse old man (Dragon Demon) overlapped with each other, as if it had some kind of electronic music-like sound effect.

Miss Musashi's eyes were focused on Shirou's mask, and she was not losing her temper: "If you don't come closer, how can I beat you up? You dare to hurt Rin, you are no longer an ordinary evil spirit, you must be beaten hard!"

At the same time, Miss Musashi was secretly thinking in her heart:
(My Kurikara Tendou is a close-range stand. Although it can also attack with a flying sword, the farther the sword is, the weaker it is. It can execute my ideas precisely and meticulously within a close range. The drawback is that it cannot leave me too far. Although it can grow huge, the energy consumption will increase exponentially when it grows huge.)

Shirou tilted his head, the boy's and the dragon demon's voices mixing together, "Then why not get a little closer."

Musashi said secretly:

(During this month of training, Shirou and Rin both told me that Shirou's best ability is 'projection'. In other words, he can now materialize his Stand like me and fight. The truth is actually
He projected my 'stand ability'!
He combined my Stand ability with the power of the Dragon Demon, so although the appearance is different, the essence should be the same.
When he is not using God's power, he and I are the same type of substitute!
Then the disadvantages should be the same! The range is limited, the more you increase the power, the greater the consumption, and the more likely you are to have flaws in your spirit!
In this case, my physical fitness is better than his, so the winning strategy is to wear him down to death!)

He is worthy of being the strongest and most famous duelist since the Japanese Warring States Period!
Although many people would stereotype Miyamoto Musashi as the famous Niten Ichiryu swordsmanship when mentioning him, in fact, as a duelist, Musashi never limited himself to using only one weapon in actual combat.

What Miyamoto Musashi respects is victory!

tower!
The sound of wooden clogs treading on the dirt of the Tousaka family yard.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and the sea breeze with a salty smell swept across Toosaka Rin's nose, making her more nervous. She observed Shirou more carefully, trying to find a way to restore Shirou to his original state.

--tower!

Miss Musashi's clogs sank hard into the ground.

Enough distance!

'Shirou' still did not immediately summon his Stand Azidahaka, apparently intending to summon it when the opponent actually launched an attack, in order to save energy!

Miss Musashi is indeed an expert in dueling! There is nothing wrong with her tactical judgment during the actual battle!

The shortcomings of Musashi Kurikara Tendo's stand were all copied when Shirou projected it, and because Shirou used Dragon Demon Shadow as a stand, the consumption on Shirou's side increased exponentially!
In addition, Shirou is still young at this time. The final result is that even if Shirou is wearing the mask of the Dragon Demon and has obtained the power of the Dragon Demon, he still cannot withstand such consumption!
--but

Miss Musashi still missed a point.

She is not a magician after all.

So she didn't know, and couldn't imagine
At this moment, in Shirou's ear, the dragon demon was whispering, guiding him, and teaching him step by step how to improve his own Stand Azidahaka! Reduce consumption!
[Shirou Shinma tries to improve his "stand" to reduce its excessive consumption problem]

[Normal Difficulty: 100]

[Advanced Difficulty: 350]

[If it is a normal success, the consumption is reduced at the cost of reduced power (the higher the value, the less power is reduced)]

[If it is a high-level success, the consumption will be reduced directly]

[Heart Demon Shirou's 'Projection Magic·Improved Spell': 1D100=71]

[Inner Demon Shirou's 'Power: Thousand Magic (Fragment)': 1D200=194]

[Azdahaka provides 'guidance': 1D100=80]

[Total: 345]

Unfortunately, it was still a little short of being a perfect success.

Shirou successfully reduced the consumption, making this spell valuable in actual combat, but as a price, the power of the Dragon Demon Shadow decreased and its appearance also degraded slightly.

Musashi didn't know this.

She only knew - distance! Enough!

Now we are within the shooting range of Kurikara Tendou!

【Miyamoto Musashi Vs. Inner Demon Shirou】

[Miyamoto Musashi's 'Substitute: Kurikara Tendo (Impromptu performance)': 1D100=70]

Kurikara Tendou pretended to draw her sword and strike, but she did not draw it. It was a feint. She concentrated all her strength into her fist and struck out!
——But this is still a feint!
When Kurikara's fist was still some distance away from the enemy, Miss Musashi had a cunning idea and summoned a Buddha sword in front of Tendo's fist!
Tiantong's fist slammed onto the end of the hilt of the Buddha's sword, blasting the sword out like a cannonball!
Both power and range experienced explosive growth in an instant!

This woman could achieve an effect that was almost like a sneak attack even in a face-to-face confrontation!

[Shirou's 'Projection of Curse: Stand Azidahaka (Imprompt Performance)': 1D100=74]

However, the Dragon Demon whispered in Shirou's ear, "Avoid her, Shirou."

The sneak attack was seen through.

Hitting towards Shirou's face - the Personality Mask's Buddha sword surprise attack was easily avoided by Shirou!
At the same time, Shirou summoned Azdahaka again, reducing the consumption of his Stand at the cost of decreased power and degraded appearance.

After the incomplete Dragon Demon Shadow degenerated, its appearance also changed. The iconic three-headed evil dragon disappeared and it degenerated into a human form - the form of a human female. The only characteristic it inherited was its snow-like skin, and even its dragon horns degenerated into some kind of ornament.

In Persian mythology, dragon demons, like gods, have many incarnations, and there are many legends about demons transforming into beautiful human women to seduce them. According to unreliable folk history, it is even said that Indra was once in love with a dragon demon.

For the dragon demon, that is his weakest posture - the appearance of a beautiful and weak woman is to deceive the love and protection of mortals and gods.
But it is also a dragon demon after all!
Facing the dragon demon's fist, Tiantong chose to take a half step back, spinning his body like dancing, and counterattacking with a roundhouse kick!

The fist and the leg collided, and the violent impact blew away the surrounding atmosphere! Toosaka Rin had to use magic to protect her body to prevent herself from being blown away!
No matter how you look at it, the latter should be in the ascendancy - but the result is just the opposite!
Kurikara's leg was cracked by the blow, and Musashi staggered back three steps before he could stabilize his body!

In the battle of substitutes, Shirou and the Dragon Demon have the upper hand!

However, both Musashi and Toosaka Rin, who was observing Shirou, stopped their original fighting intentions at the same time.

Because they discovered an incredibly huge problem!
Originally, in the eyes of Toosaka Rin and Musashi, Shirou put on the Dragon Demon mask again and blatantly showed his fighting and killing intent. So, either the Dragon Demon has come back to "grab the number" again, or Shirou has been affected by the Dragon Demon's power and entered a rampage state.

But that’s not the case!
Don't say that Long Mo 'stole' Shirou's account! The actual situation is the other way around! It was Shirou who stole Long Mo's account!

To a certain extent, it can even be said that the Dragon Demon has become Shirou's 'spirit behind the scenes', assisting Shirou in the battle!
So is it a rampage? Is it a situation like a rampage of inner demons?
But something seemed not right, because Shirou in front of him was as calm as ever, even calmer and even more ruthless than usual!

There is absolutely no "baring fangs and claws" or "crazy roaring" as people generally imagine when a person is going berserk!

"You" Toosaka Rin could only come to a very outrageous conclusion: "Is it Shirou? Or is it the Shirou we usually know?"

In response, Shirou did not press on to gain victory, but tilted his head.

"Of course I am."

Then, Shirou poked his temple with his hand: "Now, in my spiritual world, the 'emotional me' and the 'rational me' are fighting because of the influence of the Dragon Demon's power, but I am still me, but because of the support of the Dragon Demon, the 'rational me' has the upper hand.

You can also think of me as Shirou Emiya who is running wild in the state of "inner demon". However, my situation is different from that of ordinary people. What is running wild is not "emotion", but "rationality". If you must use a metaphor, "

Shirou tilted his head in a different direction:
"Oh, by the way, to put it in a metaphor that you, Toosaka, can understand, it is - waking up in a bad mood."

"Grumpy when waking up?" Toosaka Rin was stunned when she heard this inexplicably funny metaphor.

But Shirou remained indifferent and serious:
"Tousaka, you are a good person. You set high standards for yourself. You seriously set high standards for yourself as an idealistic aristocrat. You are gentle, friendly, good at empathizing with others, understanding the difficulties of others, and doing your best to not embarrass others.

but

As such, you are totally unable to do these things when you are in a grouchy state.

You are a good person, and you can be a good person, because you can distinguish between good and evil, and then suppress the "evil" thoughts in your heart - but when you are "grumpy", your consciousness is blurred, and you cannot consciously suppress the "evil" thoughts in your heart. "

Toosaka Rin was speechless.

A very outrageous guess emerged in her mind.

"My current situation is similar to when you are 'grumpy when you wake up'."

Shirou said to Musashi and Toosaka Rin in a voice that was even colder and more serious than usual:

"Fight me. It's for your own good, especially Miss Musashi, because I'm going to--kill you."

Although he said this, there was still no murderous intent in Shirou's tone, as if a second-rate voice actor was reading and repeating the lines in the script.

Musashi couldn't understand: "Why?"

"I have been observing Ms. Musashi all this time."

Shirou, who was in a rampage due to his 'inner demon', said seriously:

"Ms. Musashi has a random time-travel physique. Generally, she cannot stay in one world for more than two months. Once the time is up, she will automatically disappear. No one knows which world or time point she will travel to.

But, it's weird, isn't it?

Ms. Musashi, you can take away the specialties of some worlds.

The clothes you are wearing have been changed countless times, but you don't have to be naked every time you enter a new world because of your random time-travel physique.

You ate all the food I cooked for you.

When I was washing your clothes, I also confirmed that the dirt left behind was normal due to your body's metabolic function.

I have been observing you carefully and summarizing the characteristics of your physical constitution.

--Then

Through my training with Tousaka, I learned the knowledge of Ashiya Doman and acquired many techniques from various schools of Buddhism, both orthodox and unorthodox.

Then, I got inspiration from the knowledge about 'ritual instrument making' of Tibetan Buddhism.

If I make Miss Musashi into a 'magic weapon', I can let you stay."

Musashi was stunned.

Toosaka Rin was completely speechless.

But Shirou, whose inner demons were running wild, remained calm:
"My reason tells me that this is the best choice.
I will kill Miss Musashi, make your remains into a magical weapon, and bind your soul to me forever, and to this world.

Of course, if you want to keep your body intact as much as possible, I can also properly process your body and turn you into a zombie——

That's right.

Just kill you and make you my shikigami

We can be together forever."

Musashi was completely speechless, and even his stand-in, Kurikara Tendo, covered his face due to the mental shock.

“This is a very simple truth, and I have already thought of it.

It's just that, because of everything I have, when I was first saved by Miss Musashi, I got everything from you, including your own three views, Miss Musashi.

I fell in love with you, not the love between men and women, but I was attracted by your existence, your way of existence, and your lifestyle.

My heart will imitate you very precisely, I am always projecting your heart

I imitate you, I am as bloodthirsty and aggressive as you
I imitate you and complain when people around me do something weird
I imitate you because you are a good person, so I am a good person too.

Even a good person will have "improper thoughts" and "evil thoughts" in his heart.

When I first thought of this method, because I was imitating you, I immediately buried this idea, because my emotions told me that this was the wrong thing to do, and it would hurt Miss Musashi and make her sad and painful.

My sensibility makes me not want to be hated by Miss Musashi.

——But now, due to the influence of the dragon demon, my emotions are completely suppressed by my rationality.

Although the Dragon Demon himself did not anticipate this situation at first.

My rationality is full of "desire", but my sensibility is full of "restraint" - weird, isn't it?
But then again, I want to live the same way as Miss Musashi, and my ideal - my 'sensibility' - may have been borrowed (imitated) from you, Miss Musashi.

To be honest, I don’t understand it myself. But it’s not important.

Ms. Musashi, if you don’t understand what I’m saying, it doesn’t matter. You just need to know one thing.”

Shirou drew out Wuming, and pointed the blade directly at Miss Musashi, who had a look on her face that said "all her worldviews have been so shocked that even her mother doesn't recognize her".

“It’s a very simple truth.

Ms. Musashi can't go anywhere.

Ms. Musashi must stay."

Toosaka Rin was shocked and speechless: It turns out that there are people in this world who are actually calmer the crazier they are?

However, there is good news.

At least Toosaka Rin knows how to 'win', how to - 'rescue the Shirou she loves'.

That is to eliminate the influence that the dragon demon has exerted on him. No, considering that the demon raising ritual has actually been mostly successful, it should be impossible to completely eliminate it. At least, the current Toosaka Rin does not have that ability.

But it would be fine if we just suppressed or sealed it!

"Miyamoto Musashi must stay

—Stay for me!!!”

This is too crazy! ?
Miss Musashi could only smile bitterly at this, and drew her two swords at the same time, with cold sweat on her forehead:

"This is really the first confession I have ever heard in my life. It's really terrible."

PS: Although this chapter is a plot that was made up on the spot, the editor's head is shaking. How could Shirou, who was adopted by Miss Musashi instead of Kiritsugu, be so crazy! ?

Although in the original work, Miss Musashi's level of madness is actually just as bad as Shirou's.
I strongly recommend everyone to read the official FGO comic version of "Shimayama Blood River Stage Shimosakukoku" in which Ms. Musashi is the heroine!
