After the Battle of the Red Dragon, Mrs. Somar's harassment of Shirou intensified, and she frequently found various excuses to visit the Grellard family and pay her respects to Shirou.
Now that she heard that Shirou was going to leave Buena Village, this young woman living alone was even more heartbroken than when her husband died, and she looked like she didn't want Shirou to leave no matter what.
Conversely, Mrs. Somar's only son, Somar, was happier than anyone else when he heard that Shirou was leaving.
Because Shirou's psychological trauma to the children of Buyena Village was so severe, almost every child in Buyena Village would dream of being mercilessly beaten by Shirou.
Now that things have come to this, the children of Buena Village who were involved in that incident are all deeply moved by the thought of Shirou leaving the village, and they can't wait to get rid of this plague god.
Of course, even though Shirou is gone, they no longer dare to bully Sylphie.
Putting aside the fact that Shirou will return sooner or later, Sylphie herself is now an excellent intermediate mage, and can even perform spells without chanting.
Even if the children of Buena village all ganged up on her now, they might not be a match for Silphi.
Moreover, although Shirou has left, Rudeus is still in Buena Village, and he certainly won't sit idly by while Sylphie is in trouble.
Incidentally, Rudeus still doesn't know that Sylphie is a girl. He has always regarded Sylphie as Sylphie, and no one has ever reminded him of Sylphie's gender.
"Is my brother leaving?"
Upon hearing the news, Hilfi rushed to the Grerat family home immediately.
Her face was filled with panic and tension, but she had always expected this to happen sooner or later, she just didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
"Yes, Brother Shirou is going to learn swordsmanship from that Sword King named Kyrianu, so he'll definitely have to leave Buena Village."
"So where will he go next?"
"I don't know, maybe she'll go to where that Ms. Girenou works. I heard she's a bodyguard for a big shot in Roya City..."
Rudius recounted the information he had previously obtained from Paul.
He was clearly very concerned about Shirou's departure and felt a deep sense of reluctance.
"Can't I... can't we go with them?"
Sylphie couldn't help but speak up. In fact, she never wanted to be separated from Shirou and Rudeus, and wanted the three of them to be together forever.
"That kind of thing can't possibly happen."
Rudeus waved his hand. "My father said I can't leave home until I'm twelve. Your father wouldn't allow you to run away from home before you're an adult, would he?"
"This……"
Sylphie remained silent. Although she was reluctant to part with Shirou, she knew she couldn't ignore her father Roltz's opinion and force herself to leave.
Seeing Sylphie's appearance, Rudeus sighed in distress. He also wanted to go to the outside world with Shirou; he didn't want to be separated from her.
However, many things cannot be changed by people's thoughts.
The only thing people can change is themselves.
“Silv, come and learn magic from me.”
Rudeus looked at the silent Sylphie and comforted her, "If we can master more powerful magic faster, our parents might allow us to leave home sooner and go out into the world like Shirou."
"Want to learn magic?"
"Yes, Shirou has always said that he has to become stronger so that he can protect his family. It's the same for us, isn't it?"
"Ah."
Hearing Rudeus's words, Sylphie finally snapped out of her daze.
The two children went to an open space next to the village, feeling dejected, and decided to spend the rest of their time studying magic and improving their abilities.
This must be the only way they can cope with loneliness and loss.
At the same time, Shirou and Paul stood in a corner of the courtyard, watching Rudeus and Sylphie's figures gradually disappear into the distance until they were completely out of sight.
Are you sure you want to leave?
Paul glanced at Shirou and could clearly see the reluctance in the other's eyes.
Leaving behind his important family and going to an unknown stage alone is obviously something that Shirou cannot easily accept.
But Shirou's resolve will not waver.
"I am pursuing greater strength. Only by becoming stronger can I face any storms in the future without fear."
Shirou's tone was very calm, even indifferent, as if he was deliberately trying to appear aloof.
"Shirou..."
Paul could sense Shirou's determination and sighed, "You are a more outstanding and reliable child than I imagined. It was the luckiest thing for me to adopt you as my son. In fact, I feel that I am not worthy to be your father."
“What are you saying? Although you do have many shortcomings, Paul, I will always regard you as my second father.”
"The second one, Shirou, do you still remember your first father?"
Paul believed that Shiron's first father was a memory from before he was five years old.
Shiro, however, was unable to explain anything to Paul.
He just kept recalling Kiritsugu Emiya's figure while muttering to himself, "My first father, he was actually just my adoptive father. Unlike you, Paul, he was a serious person who was decisive in his actions, but sometimes a bit clumsy. In short, he was very reliable."
"The way you're saying that makes it sound like I'm completely unreliable..."
"What do you think, Paul?"
"This……"
Paul's lips twitched; he wanted to refute, but he was powerless to do so.
Shirou smiled and continued, "But to be honest, I've always felt that my father lived a very tiring life because his ideals were too big. His dream was to become a champion of justice and save all the weak in the world. For this, he rescued me from a fire. Even though he was the one who saved me, he was so moved that he shed tears, as if he were the one who was saved."
"..."
"To be honest, that smile was so infectious. I used to admire him deeply and dreamed of inheriting his ideals and becoming a partner of justice."
Shirou's words were both an explanation of himself and an explanation of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.
Because he had already merged with the soul of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, much of his own memories had already overlapped with those of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.
Nevertheless, the two people's memories of Kiritsugu Emiya were almost identical.
But there are differences.
In Shirou Emiya's own memory, Kiritsugu Emiya was a crazy man who fought with all his might until the very end, striving to save the world, and even wishing he could use Miyu as the Greater Grail.
The Emiya Kiritsugu in Emiya's memories was much gentler than the man in his memories. Having experienced a failed Holy Grail War, the other man realized how crazy and terrible it was to make a wish for the Greater Grail. Therefore, he had long since given up that obsessive ideal, but he still hadn't given up that feeling in his heart. So, in the end under the moon, he let the Heroic Spirit Emiya inherit that ideal.
Paul listened to Shirou's words, a subtle emotion stirring within him. He frowned and spoke:
"As a father, how could you set such unreliable goals for your son? I don't think your father is a qualified father."
"Indeed, he may not be a good father."
Shirou nodded, but he didn't mean to speak up for Kiritsugu Emiya, because he himself had already rejected Kiritsugu's ideals because of Miyu's situation.
He even went so far as to destroy the ideological imprint that Kiritsugu Emiya had left on him, abandoning his plan to use Miyu, a child prodigy, to save the world, and instead chose to give Miyu the happiness of an ordinary person.
From that moment on, he and Kiritsugu Emiya had embarked on different paths.
But in his heart, Shirou still regarded Kiritsugu Emiya as his father, and he never completely gave up on the ideal that Kiritsugu left him to become a hero of justice.
Although in his heart, the ideal of being a partner in justice had become weaker than his obsession with protecting his family.
But he still retains the wish of being a partner of justice that Kiritsugu Emiya left for him.
Seeing Shirou's silence, Paul realized that the other was overwhelmed with emotion. So he didn't interrupt him too hastily, but after a while, he quietly spoke: "Shirou, you are a child I am proud of. I believe that even if you go to Roa, you will not encounter any trouble and can handle all crises on your own. But I also hope that you will not forget that Buena Village will always be your support. If you feel tired and lose your will to move forward, this family will always welcome you back. Me, Senis, Lilia, Rudy, Norren, and Aisha, everyone will welcome you back."
"Yes, I know, Dad."
Shirou addressed Paul as "Dad" once again.
He had long regarded the other person as his second father.
Although Paul is far less reliable than Kiritsugu Emiya and is full of flaws, he has one great advantage: he values his family.
Shiro therefore respected Paul and regarded him as a second father.
The journey ahead may be long and arduous, but as long as his family is still here waiting for him, Shirou will not lose sight of his goals. He will give everything to become stronger and protect those he wants to protect in the future!
Chapter 92 Senis's reluctant farewell, the warmth from her mother.
After ending his conversation with Paul, Shirou returned to his room and began making final preparations for leaving the Grellard's house.
He first took out his magic notebook, which contained records of his long-term exploration and research into the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya. It was the most important thing to him, so he brought it with him without hesitation.
In addition, there are many products from practicing sword magic in the room. The objects projected are weapons from Emiya's memories, as well as some weapons and items from this world.
But compared to the magic notebook, these projected products are not of any value.
Once Shirou has successfully projected something once, he can basically project the same thing an infinite number of times.
He then ignored the projected objects, leaving them lying around, and instead searched through the cabinet, pulling out yet another notebook.
This is a notebook that is completely different from a magic notebook. It does not record magic tricks, but rather Shirou's review and consolidation of his cooking knowledge over the years.
The most important of these are the original dishes developed to suit the local characteristics of this world, and many of them are even made with monsters as ingredients.
Shirou has been constantly increasing the number of dishes he makes and trying to recreate some of the dishes from his memory in a simpler and clearer way.
Right now, he took out his culinary notebook, which he had treasured for many years, but instead of taking it with him, he held it in his hand and walked to the living room.
In the living room, Senis and Lilia were taking care of two newborn babies, Norren and Aisha.
As soon as Shirou walked over, Aisha, who had been lying obediently in the cradle, suddenly opened her arms and made babbling noises.
Senis and Lillia hadn't had time to figure out what was going on, but when they realized it was Shirou, they immediately exchanged knowing smiles.
"Aisha really likes Shirou. She didn't have such a strong reaction when Paul came over."
Senis spoke with a smile.
"This is really a good thing."
Lilia also had a smile on her face. She had always had certain expectations for Aisha, hoping that in the future Aisha could repay Shirou's kindness on her behalf.
Now that Aisha is showing affection for Shirou, it is undoubtedly a good thing for her.
Shirou, on the other hand, was quite perplexed by Aisha's reaction. He looked at Aisha, who had just walked over and stretched out her hands to him, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Senis couldn't help but smile and say:
"Would you like to hold this child?"
"Shall I hug you?"
Shirou was shocked. He had never held a baby before, and even with his younger sister Miyu, he rarely acted so intimately.
However, looking into Aisha's big, eager eyes, Shirou couldn't refuse. He could only hesitate before picking up the red-haired baby girl, who was less than a year old, from the cradle. He found her lying obediently in his arms, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"It's incredible, Aisha is so well-behaved the first time someone has ever held her."
Senis exclaimed in surprise, "When Paul held her before, this little girl threw a tantrum for a while."
"That seems to be the case..."
Lilia also spoke up in disbelief.
Most importantly, in her eyes, the scene of Shirou holding Aisha was so harmonious, as if the two of them were real siblings.
But that is undoubtedly impossible.
"Wow wow wow wow..."
As Shirou picked up Aisha and she offered no resistance, Noren suddenly cried out from the cradle beside them.
Although Noren often cries, this time such intense crying was extremely rare.
Shirou was at a loss for what to do upon seeing this.
Senis joked, "Noren might be jealous. Shirou, why don't you hug her? Maybe she'll stop crying."
"How can it be."
Shirou dismissed Senis's words, refusing to believe that such a young baby could have such complex emotions.
But he really couldn't just leave Noren alone.
So he let go of Aisha, who was looking very reluctant, and went to Norren's crib to pick up the blonde baby girl from the cradle.
"..."
An incredibly unbelievable scene unfolded.
