Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

In terms of results, Emiya did the same thing.

This delayed Esdeath, preventing her from quickly reaching another battlefield.

But only Emiya knew the real reason why he acted this way.

He had previously killed everyone around him to survive, but now he was willing to give up his own life to save them.

"you're awake!"

A middle-aged man with a full head of white hair, dressed in an officer's uniform, spoke in a strong voice to Emiya, who was lying on the hospital bed.

"you are?"

The person in front of him clearly didn't seem to be the doctor here, yet he was asking such a question. Emiya hadn't seen this person in the previous battles either.

That's the only way I could ask.

"I am Riva, a subordinate of General Esdeath."

Riva answered Emiya's question without any airs.

He actually admired Emiya to some extent, not because of his actions in saving those enemies, but because Emiya was able to exchange a few blows with Esdeath.

You should know that he has never been able to withstand three moves from Esdeath.

The fact that Emiya had managed to fight her for so long was something he had to admire.

Although Emiya didn't actually last three moves against her, Riva wasn't on the battlefield at the time and could only hear the soldiers' descriptions, which led to the saying "three men make a tiger."

Moreover, he also heard Esdeath want to recruit Emiya as her subordinate, so he believed that Emiya's strength was indeed remarkable.

That's why Riva didn't treat Emiya badly; after all, they would be colleagues in the future, and there was no need to treat him so badly.

He never imagined that Emiya would refuse Esdeath's offer, after all, she was a general with such dazzling charm.

"Mr. Riva, is Esdeath the woman with blue hair?"

As Riva nodded, Emiya felt his spine grow cold once again.

Emiya really didn't want to endure that cold a second time.

The biting cold seemed to freeze his entire consciousness, causing him immense pain.

Emiya could endure it all. He had endured losing his eyes, his right arm, and being slashed all over his body. What couldn't he endure?

But he's not a masochist, so why would he endure all sorts of pain for no reason?

"So, did you save me?"

Emiya quickly wrapped himself in the blanket and asked the middle-aged man in front of him.

"No, it was Lady Esdeath who did not take your life."

Riva shook his head; there was no way he could save Emiya from Esdeath's clutches.

Moreover, he wasn't even there at the time.

"what?"

Emiya tilted his head, a big question mark appearing on his face.

why?

Emiya couldn't understand it.

"Lady Esdeath is a very kind person. She saw your exceptional talent and cherished your abilities, which is why she spared your life."

Seeing the question mark written all over Emiya's face, Riva

"kindness......"

“If she were kind, I wouldn’t have clashed with her.”

Emiya thought to himself, but he didn't say any of these words out loud.

If she were merciful, Emiya would take advantage of the chaos to change into Imperial Army uniforms and sneak in.

Even the marshal of their enemy country has infiltrated the army, so why can't Shirou Emiya do the same?

This is not to underestimate Shirou Emiya's professional abilities.

Ok?

It seems that Shirou Emiya doesn't actually possess the professional skills to fake it.

"Are you alright now? I see you can even pick up the blanket yourself."

Riva pointed to Emiya's hand that was holding the blanket and asked a question.

"Yes, the medicine you gave me is very effective, and I have recovered now."

Emiya could only nod. He could sense that the man in front of him also possessed a remarkable aura, and his strength was certainly not to be underestimated.

"Then come with me to see Lady Esdeath. I'll wait for you at the door."

With that, Liva walked out of the ward.

He didn't doubt why Emiya recovered so quickly, after all, many people on their side recovered at an abnormally fast pace.

Some of the modified individuals are even able to instantly regenerate severed limbs.

Just like the demons in Demon Slayer, they have extremely strong regenerative abilities.

Riva had no doubt about how quickly Emiya's injuries had healed.

Moreover, for some reason, Emiya seems to possess a unique magic that makes people feel very approachable towards him.

Even when he spoke with Emiya as a general, he unconsciously lost the general's imposing presence, even though he had once been the Great General of the Empire.

They were also personnel who commanded an army in one region.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: No Compromise

Snowflakes drifted slowly down from the sky, landing on the spot where Emiya was heading towards Esdeath.

All the imperial soldiers here have long since changed into thick cotton-padded clothes to adapt to the environment.

On the battlefield, heavy clothing would only slow them down, but after the war,

Emiya could even see two soldiers sitting on the steps, each holding a steaming bowl of soup, sipping it slowly.

A smile involuntarily crept across his lips.

The war was won, which is certainly a joyous occasion.

Under Riva's guidance, Emiya gradually made his way through the camps that were set up nearby.

Upon seeing Liva, the soldiers immediately perked up and quickly greeted him, indicating that Liva was a well-liked figure in the army.

However, this place seems to be more than just a place where Esdeath's army is stationed.

Emiya casually looked around. If it weren't for the various damaged walls, this area would have exuded the aura of royalty.

He could even see some intricately carved statues.

This place appears to be the capital of a northern foreign tribe.

Of course, Emiya was unaware of this; he simply felt that this was not a place where soldiers could enter.

However, upon hearing the soldiers' excited conversations, Emiya suppressed his doubts about the place.

Are you a Teigu user?

Riva, who was walking in front of Emiya, asked a question.

"Teigu? What is that?"

Emiya shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

He knew nothing about this world, so how could he possibly know about the existence of Imperial Arms?

Moreover, having witnessed the various strange Blood Demon Arts in the Demon Slayer world, Emiya was not surprised by Esdeath's control over ice abilities.

Every world has its own unique circumstances, so it's not surprising that there are all sorts of strange and unusual abilities.

After all, in the Demon Slayer world, Emiya's projection magic should be considered a Blood Demon Art.

The people there could never do something so extraordinary.

Therefore, Emiya did not dwell on this.

"You don't even know?"

Liva turned around in surprise to look at the young, red-haired boy.

Being able to fight Esdeath without his Imperial Arms raised Rival's opinion of Emiya to a whole new level.

"What is Imperial Arms? Is it a powerful weapon?"

"Yes, a powerful weapon that can be bestowed upon the user."

Riva nodded, but he did not perform his Imperial Arms in front of Emiya.

Although in his heart, he basically believed that Emiya would become Esdeath's subordinate.

However, one should not harbor thoughts of harming others, but one should not be without the intention to let go. If Emiya had not become Esdeath's subordinate and had instead become her enemy...

Exposing one's Imperial Arms abilities in this way is an extremely foolish act.

Rivaco didn't have the same confidence as Esdeath, who believed she could overpower everyone else.

"Then why are you fighting each other?"

Emiya felt he should live as long as possible within his limited time.

He couldn't just go to see that blue-haired woman named Esdeath without any prior knowledge or understanding of the situation.

She was so generous in forgiving him, and Emiya felt he should thank her both morally and logically.

After all, Esdeath had thousands of reasons to execute Emiya for what he had done.

Emiya's opinion of her changed slightly.

But I still can't forget the smile that appeared on her lips when she killed those soldiers.
