Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Feng Xi: "Choose them all."

"What? You choose them all!"

Luvia was completely bewildered when she heard this.

These two options are clearly opposite, so how can you choose both?

Feng Xi: "If you trust me, then choose all of them; if you don't trust me, then you can decide for yourself."

Luvia: "..."

After a long silence, Luvia decided to trust Feng Xi one more time.

[Time's up, the quiz is over.]

[The answers will now be revealed.]

[Video continues.]

After a long silence, Shirou Emiya completely deflated.

He knew his own weakness; he couldn't even use a simple enhancement spell properly, so how could he possibly compete with other magicians?

Because of his inferiority complex, he backed down.

[Shirou Emiya has withdrawn from the Holy Grail War.]

Everyone: "???"

Emiya Shirou: "Σ(っД;)っ"

Red A: "..."

This development doesn't seem to match my memory at all.

Zabi: "No, this question was a huge trap!"

Harmless: "You thick-browed, big-eyed Emiya Shirou, you usually have such a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, but you finally show your true colors at this crucial moment."

Emiya Shirou: "No, I—"

Harmless: "Shirou Emiya, do you deserve the trust everyone placed in you?!"

Harmless: "Damn it, give me my money back!"

Emiya Shirou: "(┬┬＿┬┬)"

"..."

At this point, Fujimura Taiga and the others were also unsure how to protect Emiya Shirou.

Rin Tohsaka: "(Shinji Matou, he's really seized this opportunity. He's jumping around like that, so excited!)"

Seeing that Shirou Emiya had backed down, Kirei Kotomine immediately lost interest, leaving only Rin Tohsaka somewhat pleased.

[Later, with Kirei Kotomine's help, Shirou Emiya removed one of his Command Seals, leaving only one to break his contract with the King.]

He then declined Rin Tohsaka's suggestion to stay at the church and went outside to explain the situation to Artoria.

Artoria didn't force Shirou Emiya to make his decision, but her eyes were filled with deep disappointment and resentment.

[After the contract was dissolved, Artoria immediately entered the church.]

It's obvious she went to find Rin Tohsaka.

She wanted to make a contract with Rin Tohsaka before disappearing, so they could continue the Holy Grail War.

[Meanwhile, Shirou Emiya felt he had let the other person down and walked home listlessly.]

When he reached the first intersection, a white-haired little girl blocked his way.

Illya smiled at Shirou Emiya, but there was not a trace of kindness or warmth in that smile.

Beside her stood a gigantic man, as tall as an iron tower.

[Uncle B, Hercules.]

[Shirou Emiya sensed something was wrong and instinctively tried to turn and run, but Hercules displayed a speed completely disproportionate to its size, appearing directly in front of him.]

The next moment, the screen turned bright red, then went dark.

Harmless to humans and animals: "..."

No, Shirou Emiya is dead?

What are you doing?!

Isn't Illya Shirou's older sister? Why would she come to kill Shirou?

Not only did he not understand, but the rest of the Emiya family did not understand either.

Ilya was completely dumbfounded.

Didn't I warn Shirou Emiya to be careful before? Why is he trying to kill me now?

When Moyi saw this, she almost burst into tears, constantly reassuring herself that it was all fake and not something that happened in this world.

[The Fifth Holy Grail War was the most unpredictable of all; every individual's different decisions led to completely different outcomes.]

If Shirou Emiya hadn't given up—

The scene begins to reverse, like a videotape rewinding, returning to the moment Shirou Emiya made his decision.

Harmless: "Wait, what do you mean by that?"

Weber: "This probably means that both options in this question are correct."

Harmless: "...Multiple choice!"

Weber: "This has never happened before. The system is starting to pull new tricks again."

Kenneth: "I've been tricked again."

"If we don't want this disaster to happen again..."

Shirou Emiya clenched his fists, Kirei Kotomine's words echoing in his mind, the scenes from that year seemingly replaying before his eyes.

After learning these things, he no longer knew how to choose to give up.

At this moment, he already saw the imposter priest as a good person, someone who kindly reminded him of something.

So he chose to participate.

Kirei Kotomine, seeing his goal achieved, thought to himself, "Enjoy yourself, boy! Even if you don't want to admit it, for those who champion justice, evil that must be defeated is essential."

Rin Tohsaka, watching this scene, felt quite troubled.

She intended to keep Shirou Emiya away from the Holy Grail War, but it backfired.

Did she mess this up again?

Rin Tohsaka: "Are you an idiot?! What does this have to do with you? Don't take it all on yourself."

Taiga Fujimura: "Right, that's more like Shirou. That video from earlier was ridiculous, it was completely fake."

Harmless: "Hey, are you trying to defend this guy?!"

Taiga Fujimura: "Hmm! Shinji, is this how you talk to your teacher?"

Harmless: "...I'm sorry, I was wrong, Teacher Taiga."

Fujimura Taiga: "Yeah."

The die is cast, and there's nothing more to say. The group left the church together.

[Shirou Emiya was once again lost in confusion.]

Although I impulsively agreed to join the Holy Grail War, what should I do next?

Red A silently shook his head as he watched this scene.

[Idiot, you didn't think things through and just got fooled.]

Indeed, it would have been better to kill off that naive version of myself from my youth.

[Immediately afterwards, Archer (Red Archer) began to incite Rin Tohsaka to take advantage of Shirou Emiya's ignorance and eliminate him.]

He would activate his Noble Phantasm immediately if Rin Tohsaka agreed.

With Unlimited Blade Works activated, countless swords attacked from all directions. Even at her peak, Artoria couldn't protect Shirou Emiya completely.

Unfortunately, Rin Tohsaka rejected his suggestion.

She says she wants to repay the favor, but who knows what she's really thinking?

Emiya Shirou: "(￣△￣)"

Zabi: "Red A, what did you do to yourself?"

This was the first time she had ever seen someone so intent on killing themselves.

Red A: "..."

At this time, silence is the best course of action.

Just as the two groups were about to part ways, the "Loli and the Beast" duo reappeared.

【Huh? Why did you say "again"?】
