I Will Always Be a Partner of Justice

Up and down, enthusiasm is high.

Even this cold day can't stop a fiery fighting heart.

however--

"It's not good, my king!" Lucan walked in anxiously.

"Why are you so flustered, Lucan?" Shirou put down the document in his hand and looked at Lucan.

"Our crops... our crops..." Lu Kan's tone trembled, almost crying: "Our crops are almost all frozen to death!"

"You... what did you say!?"

Shirou stood up in shock, staring at Lucan.

"It's so cold...the crops...the crops are all frozen to death!" Lucan cried.

Boom!

Like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, Shirou's facial muscles twitched.

He said in a deep voice: "Lead the way... Take me to see it quickly!"

Sunday, February 1999, 2.

Fuyuki City, Shinto, hot pot restaurant.

The air conditioner was turned on to dissipate the cold outside, and it was hot.

The waiter brought two cups of hot tea, and Shinji and Kazunari thanked them, holding them in both hands, warming up the cold hands on the warm teacups.

"Will Mrs. Emiya really come, Shinji?" Kazushi asked.

"Yes. I troubled her. She said she would come and tell me about the relationship between the King of Knights and the King of Eternity." Shen Er nodded.

"It's really rare... I remember you said that Mrs. Emiya and Mr. Emiya were your father's mortal enemies in the Fourth Holy Grail War, right?" Kazuki said.

"It's just a matter of the past. People have to look forward. I don't intend to inherit the grudges of my father's generation. Besides, they are sworn enemies. My father actually didn't care about the Holy Grail War at all. He only hates Kotomine Kirei, but he He just died in the Fourth Holy Grail War."

Shinji pushed up his glasses and said, "The most important thing is that Mrs. Emiya has been in contact with the King of Knights, which is very helpful for my thesis."

"The Eternal King... Regarding the king who split the dividing line between the ancient century and the Middle Ages, isn't there a lot of related papers in Britain? I know you are going to study in Britain, but even if you write about this king, you can't write about it." It might not please those professors, right? After all, there are too many papers to write about this king." Yicheng asked.

"Those are in outline style. What I want to write is detailed, and the high-level style can be seen at a glance, so that I can win the favor of those professors." Shen Er pushed his glasses.

"That's nothing to write about, right? He did leave a lot of things behind, many of which are even of reference to modern society. But his suffering doesn't seem to be much, right? It seems that there is only the first food when he raised his army in Cornwall. Difficult, and this was exchanged by the king from the European continent with mines." Yicheng said.

"It's not that simple." Shen Er said: "I have investigated it carefully. The period that this king lived in happened to be the first stage of the Little Ice Age at the turn of the century! I don't need to say much about the disasters of the Little Ice Age. The most feared natural disasters in agricultural countries. More importantly, before the Little Ice Age, Europe had a suitable environment for hundreds of years, with few famine years and hunger. The ice accumulation in the Arctic is far north, and there is no experience in fighting the Little Ice Age .But the time point of the Eternal King is the first stage of the Little Ice Age!"

After a pause, Shen Er continued: "Because of the ice age, the winter becomes colder, fish schools change their migration paths, and the lives of fishermen and farmers become difficult. The climate is extremely cold, wars, famines and epidemics... these are not Just a sentence in history, a bumper harvest in the coming year, can be explained. History only records the results, and people only look at the results, but what I want to write is the process! And this is what can attract the attention of the professor!"

The waiter brought the butter hot pot and lit the electric stove.

The aroma is strong.

Another waiter brought dishes, including beef, mutton, potatoes and other meat and vegetable dishes, in a variety of styles.

"How about we cook first?"

"I remember you had a bowl of instant noodles in the afternoon, didn't you? Are you hungry again so soon? Wait a minute, Mrs. Emiya, it's not polite to just move your chopsticks like this."

"However, since it was the Little Ice Age, how did the Eternal King survive? I remember that the king didn't get much food in exchange for mines, did he?"

"Not much. According to the history of planting in Europe in ancient centuries, it is divided into spring plowing and winter plowing. The Eternal King exchanged grain before winter plowing, and encountered the Little Ice Age. To be honest, he was able to survive... and that The magic of the era is very powerful, there should be gods, right? I wonder if there are gods helping him..."

"It's about theology again? I don't care about your thesis. I'll order chicken popcorn first, I'm a little hungry..."

……

……

winter is here.

Shirou never thought that this winter would be so cold and so long.

The British Isles have a temperate maritime climate, with mild and rainy weather throughout the year.

Merlin also told him that in previous years, the British Isle was like spring all year round, with mild and humid weather.

But this winter, it's so cold, so cold.

It was so cold that the teardrops in my eyes were about to turn into ice scum and fall down.

Looking at the frozen soil in his hand, and then at the crops that have been frozen to death.

Shirou's heart was broken.

It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this.

How did these seeds, these crops, freeze to death?

If these crops are frozen to death, what will he use to feed people?

Lift your head and look up at the sky.
