"Wow, that's strange. Emiya, you're actually here too. Are you here to see me?" Lancer greeted Emiya when he saw him coming.

"No. I didn't have to look for you. I didn't expect you to be here. I just came here to fish."

Shirou Emiya really didn't know Lancer was here. He deliberately didn't pay attention to the surrounding atmosphere today. He just went with the flow and did what he wanted to do.

So, it was quite unexpected to hit the Lancer.

He had no intention of saving Lancer. Lancer did not need saving. Bazett, the only person Lancer cared about before, was also saved by him.

Lancer is now very open-minded. He knows that he can't defeat the monster even if he continues to fight.

Emiya Shirou put his bucket beside him, sat on the stone bench next to Lancer, got some bait, and then threw the fishing rod in his hand out.

"You really are a complete novice." Lancer complained upon seeing this.

"After all, I've never fished before."

"Then why do you suddenly want to go fishing?"

"Maybe, I'm looking for peace."

After all, if he goes back to school now, Shinji and Sakura will remember the sad things when they see him.

In this case, it would be better to spend the last moments alone.

But I didn't expect to hit Lancer.

After saying this, Emiya Shirou remained silent for a long time.

Lancer next to him couldn't help himself, "Hey, why aren't you talking today? Weren't you quite talkative in the past?"

"I'm not used to talking." Emiya Shirou gave an unexpected answer.

Chapter 90: Shirou Emiya Seeks Death (Part 4)

Shirou Emiya is not as cheerful as he looks.

He was the only survivor in the fire ten years ago.

Later I found out that the fire was caused by the Holy Grail War and that it was my adoptive father who caused the fire.

Because he was the only survivor and had seen many dead people.

I have been living in the shadow of that disaster, feeling guilty about why I didn't help them and why I survived.

He also inherited the guilt of his adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu.

Because of guilt, I help others to make up for my guilty feeling.

Even if you get hurt or die, you still work tirelessly to help others.

He does not seek rewards from others, but only seeks his own peace of mind.

Because of this incident, his personality is actually very cold.

But others always saw him as easy to talk to and sought his help.

And Emiya Shirou would not refuse the hands that asked for help.

But in fact, because his heart is filled with guilt, he actually doesn't like to communicate with others.

After all, I have my own secrets.

But this was the first time he told others about his true nature as 'Emiya Shirou'.

"Hey, is this true? Did something happen to you? Did you break up or something? It's impossible that you were beaten up. After all, you are so strong." Lancer chatted.

"No. I've always been like this." Emiya Shirou replied.

After saying this, Emiya Shirou spoke calmly again.

Lancer thought he was just in a bad mood and just fished normally.

It may have been a long time, or it may have been just a blink of an eye.

"Hey, say something. It's boring fishing here alone." Lancer couldn't stand having a silent person next to him.

Especially this taciturn man who kept loading up the fish but didn't catch any himself.

In fact, if he was fishing alone, he could bear the loneliness and did not find it boring.

But once there is someone around him, he will fall into that person's rhythm again. He didn't say anything, just stayed there quietly like a puppet, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"There's nothing I want to say." Emiya Shirou replied.

"So you don't have anything to ask?"

"No."

"You really don't want to know anything? You know, there's an ancient hero sitting next to you. Aren't you interested in the mysteries of the past?" Lancer coaxed.

"I am still a hero in the future." Emiya Shirou replied, "The past is the past no matter what, there is no way to change it, and even if you can change it, will you choose to change it?"

"No." Lancer said, "I am very satisfied with my ending. Even if it seems tragic to others, I have already fought hard with all my means. Even if I died in the end because of someone else's scheme, it was just my bad luck and bad timing. I don't want to go back and change anything. I have done my best anyway."

A petite but determined figure stood not far from them and heard Lancer's words.

Shirou Emiya didn't notice the man's arrival and was just immersed in his own world.

Emiya Shirou had anticipated Lancer's answer.

He knew in advance who Lancer was and why he responded to the Holy Grail's wish.

In this Holy Grail War, he knew a lot of things, so he could persuade the other side based on this information. Even if the plan might fail, he had force as a backup. He was always doing things that were 100% sure to succeed.

Only this last thing he was going to do, he was not sure of success.

Or, more likely, he will die.

He felt that he was really a greedy person.

Originally, he only hoped to save those he saw. Because he had no power, he could only save those who could be saved.

But once he gained the power, he wanted to save more people who wouldn't even ask him to save them.

"What about you? Would you choose to change the past?" Lancer asked back.

"Maybe, I guess." It was Shirou Emiya's answer that caught Lancer off guard, because he couldn't think of anything that Shirou Emiya regretted so much that he wanted to go back to the past and change it. Since the other party was so powerful, he must have had a smooth journey, like a hero favored by destiny.

"Forget it. Ask me another question. I asked you the question just now, now you ask me another question." Lancer said.

"Do I have to ask?"

“I have to ask!”

Shirou Emiya thought for a long time, and the fish floating on the water moved several times but he ignored it, which made Lancer frown.

"Will justice definitely triumph over evil?" asked Shirou Emiya.

"Why do you ask this question...? Oh, right, you want to be a 'partner of justice', right?

"It's a ridiculous ideal, but I don't hate it.

"But will justice definitely triumph over evil? Honestly, there isn't so much justice and evil.

“There is no such thing as being necessarily right or necessarily wrong.

“After all, it’s like war, sometimes it’s an invasion, sometimes it’s a liberation.

“In the end, it all depends on how you judge.

"Like me, I actually didn't dwell on how I died at all."

"This is what happens in the world. I have been practicing the justice in my heart." Shirou Emiya replied.

"Then, will the hero definitely win in the end?" Emiya Shirou asked again.

Lancer's face fell instantly, he pointed at himself, this time without saying anything, but instead made a silent accusation.

The two of them didn't say anything after that.

Saber looked at the young man from afar, with an indelible sadness in her heart.

It wasn't because she fell in love with him, but because she felt that a life was dying and felt the sadness of a friend's passing.

Humans are such emotional animals.

Even though she was the legendary King Arthur, she was not above human beings.

As the sky gradually darkened, Shirou Emiya bought a bunch of food and went back, using up all the money he had left.

When he returned to the Emiya residence, no one was waiting for him.

There was no one around, but he didn't feel lonely.

Instead, I started cooking on my own.

After preparing a sumptuous meal and placing it on the table, Emiya Shirou smiled with satisfaction.

Then he turned and walked out of the yard.

"Shirou!" A familiar voice sounded behind Shirou Emiya.

The other person's emotions were different from what he had imagined.

Chapter 91: Shirou Emiya's fateful night (Part 1)

Fujimura Taiga.

An English teacher at Hogunhara Academy High School, and Emiya Shirou's guardian and older sister.

Her real identity is the granddaughter of underworld giant Fujimura Raiga, and the eldest daughter of the Fujimura Group, a gang and landlord in Fuyuki City.

After his grandfather sold the current Emiya Mansion to Emiya Kiritsugu, and Emiya Kiritsugu adopted Emiya Shirou, he often came to the Emiya Mansion.

She admired Emiya Kiritsugu, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

After Emiya Kiritsugu's death, he became Emiya Shirou's guardian as promised.

——Although most of the time it was Emiya who took care of her and she came to Emiya's house to eat.

But anyway, she is like Shirou Emiya's sister, and she also said that she wants to marry Shirou.

But his admiration for Shirou is not the same as that for Emiya Kiritsugu.

Instead, she truly treats Shirou Emiya as a member of her own family.

Only when Shirou Emiya was injured did Sakura Matou allow her to enter the Emiya household to take care of Shirou.

"Hey, Shirou." the voice repeated again.

Shirou Emiya turned around and saw Fujimura Taiga with his hands on his hips, looking at Shirou Emiya angrily.

"Sister Taiga. I've prepared the meal. Let's eat."

"Didn't you call me Tiger Sister today?" Dahe asked back angrily.

"Ah, that..."

"And he skipped class again today. He's never skipped my class before."

"that……"

"He said he wanted to have dinner with everyone, but ended up running away first."

Shirou Emiya was silent. He did feel that what he did might be a little irresponsible, as no one had asked him to do that.

But he just felt that he had to do it.

"I'm sorry, Sister Taiga."

"Call me Sister Tiger."

"Sister Dahe..."
