The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

"No, it shouldn't be like this! I'm a human! I'm a human!"

Touching his throbbing chest, he wanted to deny his inhuman past, but those clone-like faces appeared beside his reflection, staring at him with cold eyes.

——No, you are not human at all, you are one of us.

"Shut up!"

The understanding of myself that I have accumulated until now has been destroyed to pieces.

Shirou Emiya repeatedly banged his head against the ground, shattering his own reflection in an attempt to escape the gaze of his "kind".

Just as blood was dripping from his forehead, staining the puddle beneath him red, the most familiar voice reached his ears.

When I looked up, I saw that it was Emiya Miyu who came to see me after I hadn't returned for a long time.

"elder brother!!!"

Seeing Shirou Emiya's miserable appearance, the black-haired girl became anxious and immediately quickened her pace.

Shirou Emiya glanced at the other person, and for a moment he couldn't think of how to explain all this to his sister, so he closed his eyes again in pain.

But this closure made him miss the crucial moment.

Since all of the Eye Demon World except for the refugee resettlement facilities are now suffering from the erosion of the Red Sky, and Kiritsugu Emiya's base is located in a relatively remote place, the buildings that have not been maintained for a long time have already become dilapidated.

The heavy rain and the screams of the Emiya siblings became the first dominoes to fall. On the path that Emiya Miyu had to pass, a stone pillar finally broke under the weight.

When Shirou Emiya heard the sound and raised his head again, it was too late. The huge rock had already smashed towards the panicked Miyu Emiya.

"Miyu!?"

He wanted to stand up and pounce on Emiya Miyu, but his feet slipped and he fell into the puddle again.

Just as Emiya Miyu was about to die, at the critical moment, another figure with an afterimage rushed out from behind Emiya Shirou, hugged Miyu at the last moment and endured the damage of the falling rocks alone.

Shirou Emiya stared blankly at Kiritsugu Emiya, whose skin and flesh were torn apart by the falling rocks and whose right arm was directly broken, and Miyu Emiya, who was unharmed beneath Kiritsugu Emiya, who had turned into a bloody man. He lost the ability to speak for a moment.

He realized that he seemed to have misunderstood Emiya Kiritsugu because of the scene just now.

- This man didn't see them as experiments, but truly saw herself and Miyu as his children.

"Are you okay?"

Kiritsugu Emiya checked on the frightened Emiya Miyu, and regardless of the latter's worry, his face turned cold and he rushed to Emiya Shirou, grabbed him by the collar with one hand and forcibly lifted him up from the puddle.

Then he punched Emiya Shirou in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Idiot! As a brother, how can you not protect your sister well!"

Lying on the ground in shock, Shirou Emiya felt a stinging pain on his face. He felt genuine anger and disappointment from the man's fist.

"If you are my brother, then cheer up!"

That was the real anger of a father.

It also miraculously calmed down Shirou Emiya's chaotic heart, and made Shirou Emiya shed tears and asked questions to the man.

“…What exactly are we?”

"..."

Looking at Emiya Shirou like this, Emiya Kiritsugu said sincerely.

"Of course you are human beings, you are my one and only children!"】

Type Moon Bean Dad: It seems that Mr. Kiritsugu truly regards his creation as an irreplaceable child.

Tracking EX: No lie yet.

Pure Love God of War: Yes, who says that artificial humans are not human? As long as they have human emotions, they are real humans.

Skyfire One-Armed Man: Damn it! Why do nice words sound so weird when they come out of your mouth?

The cutest thing in the world: can't argue with that.

Cancer of the Earth: Although he is a scary guy, it seems that Emiya Kiritsugu is not false in his feelings as a father.

Father Mapo: When it comes to treating his own “children”, this man is indeed a father, but what if his children deviate from his ideas? Hehe~

Saint Magdalene: Haha~ I really don’t know what this guy who doesn’t even have the awareness of being a father is so proud of?

Father Mapo: ...

Super High School Level Hope: Wait, this is not going to be good! If this continues, Shirou will be dragged to Kiritsugu's camp?

The Elf King of Amamiya City: Alas, I was too obsessed with not involving the Emiya siblings, but ended up causing a tragedy where we had to confront each other because of the asymmetry of information?

[After this accident, the Emiya siblings were taken back to the base by Emiya Kiritsugu to rest for a while.

Seeing his father, who had only given his own wounds a simple bandage and then was busy taking care of his frightened sister, Emiya Shirou once again recalled the memories he got from Emiya Kiritsugu.

The man looked at himself sleeping in the incubator, with a genuine smile of happiness on his face.

"Son, you are everything to me."

Now thinking carefully about what he said at that time, Shirou Emiya actually began to feel that as long as this man was around, his identity as a android was actually not that important anymore.

——As long as Miyu and I are still human beings in the eyes of Kiritsugu and our companions...

"Kiritsugu-sama!"

The young boy's voice interrupted Emiya Shirou's thoughts. He looked back in surprise towards the depths of the base, only to see several familiar faces appearing there, led by a silver-haired girl.

Among the people in the lead were the young man and his mother who had had unpleasantness with him before.

However, compared to the angry expression at that time, the boy's face now finally had the liveliness that suited his age. He saluted Emiya Kiritsugu respectfully, and even his hostility towards Emiya Shirou had disappeared.

Shirou Emiya also noticed that his mother, who had originally looked a little weak, now looked much healthier.

On her neck, she was wearing a necklace that was obviously a product of technology, a prop that Shirou Emiya had never seen before.

After seeing the silver-haired girl, the smile on Emiya Kiritsugu's face became even brighter.

"You're back. Shirou, I haven't introduced you yet, right? This is your other sister and my third child. You can call her Illya."

As Kiritsugu Emiya introduced them, Illya came skipping over to the two of them with a sweet smile and greeted the Emiya siblings energetically.

"I've been wanting to meet you guys for a long time~ Hehe, please give me more advice in the future, brother, Miyu-chan!"

"Hello."

Still not quite sure about the situation, Emiya Miyu nodded ignorantly and just looked at Illya with some curiosity.

Emiya Shirou had some guesses about Illya's identity through their own situations, and combined with her identity as his sister, the intimacy he already had for her became even stronger.

"Sister?"

In this time of ups and downs, the presence of a younger sister further consolidated Shirou Emiya's favor towards this place. 】

Magical Girls Can't Fly: The brother in this world is really a super sister complex. Why does it feel like he got more redemption after learning that Illya is his sister than when Kiritsugu Emiya just admitted that he is a human?

Lily, the partner of justice: It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!

Devil Muscle Rin: Give up. Everyone in the multiverse knows that you are a sister-con who is as strong as the Emperor of the East China Sea.

Emperor Dance Steps: Humph, you don’t understand, sister control is the symbol of invincibility! I am a sister control and I am proud!

In the middle, brother: You have completely given up on yourself, the emperor.

Rhodes Island CEO: Invincible? Where is invincible?

Sarkaz Regent: Who asked you?

[After Illya greeted the two with a smile, she spoke to Emiya Kiritsugu again as if she had remembered something important.

"By the way, Kiritsugu~ They came here specially to thank you~"

Following Illya's explanation, the men, women, old and young who appeared here came forward and surrounded Emiya Kiritsugu, expressing their gratitude to him.

Through the few words from these people, the Emiya siblings also roughly understood why these people appeared here.

It turned out that it was Kiritsugu Emiya who made some changes to these people who were eroded by the Red Sky, thus restoring their healthy bodies.

In the words of Emiya Kiritsugu: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket. No one can guarantee that tomorrow's Red Sky Dispersion experiment will be successful. Even if it succeeds, there may be all kinds of problems waiting for humans in the future. So I will do my best to save the people in front of me in my own way."

Compared with those who have recovered their health, the credibility of Emiya Kiritsugu's words is so convincing that Emiya Shirou can't help but start thinking along the lines of his words.

——Yes, perhaps Kiritsugu’s actions were correct.

Reaching out his hand to the dazed Emiya Shirou, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had come in front of him at some point, smiled and patted him on the back, as if to cheer him up.

"Humanity has infinite possibilities. Shirou, you made me understand this. It is because of your existence that I believe that humans can evolve on their own and create a happy future."

Human beings have infinite possibilities.

The images of Fujimaru Ritsuka and her brother Chen Shi who instilled this idea in her appeared in Emiya Shirou's mind, and this sentence finally made Emiya Shirou's wavering heart make a choice.

“…Yeah, I believe that too.”

The father and son looked at each other and smiled.

Just as Emiya Kiritsugu was about to tell him more about his grand plan, an alarm was sounded outside the base that an unknown person had invaded.

After checking the surveillance footage, Emiya Kiritsugu discovered that the person who broke in was Sakura Toosaka.

She was destroying the facilities here efficiently, and following the instructions left by Kotomine Kirei, she planned to come straight to Huanglong and put an end to it all.

"She is Tousaka Tokiomi's daughter. It seems that she still has the same prejudice against me as her father."

Emiya Kiritsugu's face darkened, and when he was about to go out to fight, Emiya Shirou stood up.

"Leave this to me, Kiritsugu. I will convince Sakura and the others to accept your actions."

……

The heavy rain is still falling.

At the last passage leading to the laboratory, the originally aggressive Toosaka Sakura suddenly stopped.

She looked in disbelief at Shirou Emiya who was waiting here. The latter also looked at her with a complicated expression on his face.

"As expected, Sakura, you and Shinji are hiding something from me."
