I am the protagonist

After doing all that, Shirou drew his spear.

That is, the injured hand was completely healed the moment the spear was pulled out.

That resilience is truly terrifying.

"This this……"

Medea was stunned.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Shirou's regenerative abilities were so ferocious.

Even though his palm was pierced by a Noble Phantasm, the wound was completely healed the moment the Noble Phantasm was pulled out.

Even those immortals who are no longer human don't possess such ferocious regenerative abilities.

"Do you feel like my recovery ability is no longer that of a normal person?"

"...It was indeed a bit of a surprise."

Medea calmed her chaotic emotions.

"Shirou, is this also due to your constitution?"

"This is not entirely due to my constitution."

“Saber’s scabbard is inside my body.”

"Whenever there is anything unusual about my body, the scabbard will heal me immediately. In addition, after I completed the materialization of my soul, my body is already extraordinary, which has resulted in my current abnormal recovery ability."

"King Arthur's sword sheath... I've forgotten about that sword sheath."

Medea suddenly remembered that she also had King Arthur's sword sheath.

The reason Shirou can summon Saber is entirely due to that scabbard.

That "fate" led Shirou to summon Saber to the previous Holy Grail War.

If that scabbard exists within Shirou's body like a conceptual weapon, then his abnormal regenerative ability becomes understandable.

"If it's that scabbard, it's not hard to understand why Shirou has such amazing regenerative abilities."

Medea also knew the story of Arthurian legend.

That scabbard was King Arthur's most prized possession. If it hadn't been for the loss of that scabbard, King Arthur wouldn't have ultimately died.

Ultimately, King Arthur's death was directly related to the loss of the sword sheath.

"Let's talk about this later."

"Caster, swallow this drop of my blood first."

"Ah."

Medea took the drop of blood and swallowed it directly.

The astonishing magic contained within the blood erupted completely the moment it entered the mouth.

In an instant, Medea felt a surge of magical power flow into her body, which even made her face turn slightly red due to the influx of magic.

A magician's bodily fluids contain a certain amount of magical power.

[Especially since the blood contains the highest amount of magic.]

But Shirou's magical power is just too much!

Before arriving at Emiya's residence, Medea had already used a lot of magic, and her own magical power had been depleted.

But the magic power that was consumed in that instant was immediately replenished.

There was even a massive amount of magic that overflowed because her body couldn't store the excess magic.

At this moment, Shirou's fingers were sliding in the air.

Many runes appeared in this order, forming a magic circle around them.

[The magic of consciousness swapping.]

[I never imagined Shirou would utilize runes to this extent.]

Medea, having understood the magic trick, didn't need Shirou to teach her before she stretched out her hands.

Upon seeing this, Shirou immediately grabbed Medea's hands, interlocking their fingers tightly.

He gently rested his forehead on Medea's forehead.

The magic circle emitted a faint light at that moment, and Medea entered a state of consciousness exchange.

It took Medea nearly five minutes to recover from this state.

He swayed for a while before finally standing still.

"...Truly a miracle in modern magic."

"Magic that can be called magic certainly has its unique features."

Having received all the information about how to materialize the soul, Medea now understood how to perform the magic to accomplish this miracle.

"It is an unimaginable method to permanently solidify the soul."

"Let the soul achieve immortality, and then use the soul as a perpetual motion machine, constantly generating magic, so that almost anyone can obtain infinite magic."

"This is an irresistible temptation for any magician."

"I never imagined that modern magic could produce such a miracle."

Chapter 81 Shirou, I'll wash your clothes later.

Such magic tricks were actually developed in modern times.

To Medea, this was nothing short of a miracle.

It wouldn't be surprising if such magic had been developed in the mythical era she lived in, but the fact that it was developed in this modern age is truly a miracle.

Ironically, it would be a miracle for magicians of this era to pull off such a magic trick.

Medea was compiling all the information about the materialization of the soul.

Normally, magicians of this era would absolutely not be able to perform this magic trick.

It's incredible that Shirou could perform such a magic trick.

It's simply a miracle.

Having sorted out everything in her mind, Medea looked up at Shirou.

"The materialization of the soul is indeed a miracle."

“Caster, you should also know that such a miracle simply cannot be accomplished by ordinary means.”

"So that's why it's the Holy Grail War... right?"

"The Holy Grail War exists solely to accomplish the magic of materializing the soul... right?"

"I think so."

"By drawing upon the noble spirits of seven heroes, we can elevate our own souls."

"It was also through the magic power accumulated in the Holy Grail that miracles that could not be achieved normally were brought about."

In fact, this kind of conjecture had already begun when Shirou learned about the materialization of the soul.

In fact, Shirou's guess was correct.

Later, I learned about the Holy Grail War from Rin and Sakura, including the three families that created the Holy Grail, one of which was the Einzbern family.

That was the family my sister used to belong to.

This alone is enough for Shirou to make more guesses.

"The Holy Grail is not some kind of omnipotent wish-granting machine."

"The only wish it can fulfill is the wish that the original creator hoped to fulfill."

"Many magicians' delusions about the root cause."

"This is truly an unrealistic delusion."

"The magician actually has the idea of ​​going out to see the world, even though everyone knows it's unrealistic."

Others might not know what it meant to go outside, but Shirou knew it very well.

As someone from the "outside," Shirou understands better than anyone else what a magician wants to do.

What they want to do is not to go to the root of the problem.

What they want to do is to explore the "truth" of this world.

The truth of this world.

And the possibility of other worlds existing.

However, such an idea is extremely foolish.

It's just a pity that magicians are such a foolish bunch.

Because we cannot understand it, we want to know.

It's all because of that meaningless thirst for knowledge that they do things they can't even imagine.

Shirou didn't bother thinking about those complicated issues.

Anyway, he lost interest ever since he learned the truth that the magicians were searching for.

On the contrary, it was the existence of magic itself that piqued Shirou's interest even more.

"Shirou?"

"Ah, I'm fine."

"Caster, you should know about the materialization of the soul, right?"

"Can you make it happen?"

Medea closed her eyes and thought for a moment before confidently opening them.

"There is a way."

"Although a lot of preparation is needed to fully realize it, there are still ways to make it happen."

As a magician from the age of gods, Medea has a way to bring this miraculous magic to life.

However, there is a great deal of preparation required to materialize the soul.

"The magic of the miracle of materializing the soul can be replaced by some substitutes."

"The way the magic trick is performed needs to be changed."

"It should be a process that requires a long time to prepare."

Although the preparation process would be very complicated, Medea was convinced that this miracle could be achieved.

Medea looked at Shirou.

"Shirou, shall we get ready?"

"……Do not."

“I know very well that materializing the soul is not suitable for Rin and Sakura, nor is it suitable for my older sister.”

"The sacrifices required to materialize the soul."

"This is not what I wanted."

"That's why I wanted to prepare an elixir of immortality for Rin and Sakura."

Shirou had learned about the materialization of the soul.

It was precisely because she understood the materialization of the soul that she didn't want to tell Rin and Sakura, or even her older sister.

Achieving the materialization of the soul is more difficult than imagined.

But that applies to ordinary magicians.

“Caster, the reason I told you about this magic is that I hope you can master it.”

Medea looked at Shirou with nothing but trust in her eyes.

"...Shirou, it seems I still have some of my old quirks."
