I Will Always Be a Partner of Justice

"I'm not kidding!" Merlin said.

Shirou reached out to stop Artoria, then stopped Gawain and the others with his eyes, and finally continued to fall on Merlin, saying, "Continue talking."

"Have you seen the bastard playing with gems? Do you know your abnormal condition? There is no record of you in [Root Root], and your life has been cut in half by [Root Root]. If you commit suicide now , you will become a Heroic Spirit, and thus be included in the Heroic Soul Seat, and your body will also enter the Heroic Spirit Seat. The Heroic Spirit Seat is a seat of records beyond the scope of time. At that time, I will add a [Single Appearance] ability to you who has become a heroic spirit. You directly manifested from the Seat of Heroes, the Seat of Records beyond this time frame, to your era. But the price is death! And there will be no growth!" Merlin said.

"It's indeed a good idea, what about the second one?" Shirou asked.He didn't intend to die.

"Second, I can only talk to you alone!" Merlin said.

Shirou nodded, and dispersed the four of Arturia, then looked at Merlin and said, "Now we can talk."

"The second way is to use me, Avalon, and Lily's scabbard!" Merlin said, "Avalon is a holy place free from time interference, and Lily's scabbard can connect to Avalon. Lily's scabbard was buried in a predetermined place, and then I entered Avalon, stopped growing and dying, and returned directly to your time, then dug out the scabbard, liberated the scabbard, and passed through Avalon that is not interfered by time. Long opens the way to time."

"Is this possible?" Shirou frowned.

"Of course it is possible, but this method can only work on you." Merlin said: "Although it is strange, your form of existence is indeed the form of existence of the 'Awakened Ones'. There is no record of you in [Root Root], so you can Interfering with the records like the enlightened beings. But it is a pity that you only exist in a form similar to the enlightened beings, but you do not have the ability of the enlightened beings. Therefore, this method can also be said to be based on the existence of your enlightened beings, and the enlightened ones can gallop It’s just an illusion of time recording. Therefore, the only people who can pass this method are those who have records on both sides. That is to say, the people on your future side will not be able to pass, and the people on this side will only have love recorded in the future Erquette can go through."

"Is that so..." Shirou rubbed his chin, and Merlin became reliable, and he was indeed reliable.

"If you borrow the scabbard from Lily, she will definitely borrow it from you. You determine the location where you hide the scabbard, and never change it. Then, after you achieve your goal, ask Lily to bury the scabbard there, achieving a closed loop of records ...Finally, please tell me the length of time you want to go back, the location, and the calendar calculation form. I count my fingers day by day, and I will just live." Merlin said.

"Just one thing, because of the abundance of time, and I don't know my future thoughts. So, I don't know what will happen. If the future me doesn't want you to go back, this method will be invalid. But please Believe me, I will let you go back, because this is my promise as a human—!" Merlin said seriously.

"Is that so... then what do I need to do now?" Shirou asked.

"Ask Lily for the scabbard, hold the scabbard! If my thoughts have not changed, then the future message will pass through Avalon and reach here. The most important thing is, in which year in the future do you want to Back?" Merlin asked.

"Then April 1994, 4... You have [clairvoyance], and then you will see the future discipline, that is April 16, 1994 AD. I remember that I came here around April 4 , should not interfere with recording conflicts. The location is in Fuyuki City in the Far East called Neon, and the home address is No. 16, No. 4 Street, Xindu. The family members include Fujimaru Hina, Fujimaru Naruta, and Fujimaru Sakura..."

"I see!" Merlin nodded.

"Really?" Shirou asked.

"As long as my future self remains unchanged," Merlin said.

……

……

Thursday, June 2002, 4.

Sakura fell asleep in dreamland.

This was the most sound sleep she had had in the past few years.

Cherry blossoms outside the window fell on her forehead.

In the dream, she saw a beautiful sea of ​​flowers.

"[-] days..." A flower-like magician sat in the sea of ​​flowers and looked at her with a smile.

"Hello, who are you?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, me. My name is Merlin, and I was entrusted by a vile bastard to help him find his way home." Merlin said with a smile.

"Who is that nasty bastard?"

"Your brother, the Eternal King, Fujimaru Shiro."

Chapter 21 The king has something to do! 【Reward 27/[-]】

I already have a way to get home, what I need is Arturia's scabbard.

Shirou decided to bury the scabbard in Cornwall, and asked Artoria to bury the scabbard in Cornwall when she didn't need the scabbard. Recently, Shirou needs to deliver the scabbard.

Arturia naturally agreed to Shirou's request, and handed over the scabbard to Shirou.

If he has become an established history, then there is no doubt that the scabbard will be dug out by the Einzbern family during the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Arturia, who is a Saber, will be summoned from it. If that Saber is his own Arturia, there is no doubt that Shirou continued Camelot's karma in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Afterwards, the scabbard became the key to Shirou's defeat of Gilgamesh in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and in the end he handed it back to Emiya Kiritsugu, theoretically in the Emiya family.

So Shirou asked Merlin to remember this.

In addition, he wore the scabbard on his body, while waiting for future news, while helping Zhu Yue in the decisive battle and the successor.

One night three months later.

While sleeping with his scabbard in his arms, Shirou received a message from the future in a dream.

——Brother...Brother...I finally found you.

"Is that Sakura?" Shirou asked.

——Yes, I have obtained Avalon from the Emiya family, and now I have liberated Avalon.You just have to bury your scabbard in Cornwall, free Avalon, and you're back.

"is that so……"

—what's the matter, brother?

"I can't go back yet, I still have some things to deal with here." Shirou said.

--why?You are not the Eternal King, there is no home for you!

"Eternal King... Has this name passed down to later generations? But you also said it, Sakura. I am the Eternal King, I am the king, and I have to be responsible for my dynasty and my people! And finally Bit by bit, bit by bit, my important duties as king are over!" Shirou said.

——The scabbard is useless.Master Merlin said, you only have this chance to come back!When the sun sets on my side, the exit from Avalon will be closed, and you will never have a chance to come back!

"Ask Merlin, how long can I be active here?" Shirou said.
