What she hates most is being compared to others.

Emiya Shirou perfectly triggered Medusa's weakness.

However, Medusa gently did not remove her blindfold, and did not instantly turn Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka into stone.

"No, I've had you captured from the very beginning." Medusa raised her hand, and the spike that had pierced Shirou Emiya's arm appeared on his arm. Chains wrapped around the tree branches behind him directly hoisted Shirou Emiya's body up.

She was going to teach the arrogant and unlovable Emiya Shirou a lesson.

"Alright...you just said something that interests me. You said I'm not as good as the other Servants, is that right? That's really troubling." Medusa looked kindly at Shirou Emiya and slowly walked over.

Those who spoke to her in the past were either turned to stone by her or crushed by Pegasus.

Even Shinji Matou wouldn't dare say that in front of Medusa.

Medusa decisively twisted Shirou Emiya's left hand backward, executing a joint lock, and covered his cheek with her left hand. "Let's start with those eyes that can't see clearly. You can take off your other hands and feet later..."

Emiya Shirou stared in horror at the finger that was only a hair's breadth away from his eyeball. What was she going to do? He finally tasted fear.

But he didn't beg for mercy; he just stopped being stubborn.

Suddenly, a series of magic bullets attacked Medusa, but Rin Tohsaka arrived in time to save Shirou Emiya.

At the same time, Shinji Matou's order appeared in Medusa's mind: retreat.

He didn't want Rin Tohsaka to leave right there; he wanted Rin Tohsaka to be completely convinced of his worth.

Medusa shook her head, thinking how unfortunate she was to have such an idiotic master. If being cursed by the bitch Athena was the first misfortune, then meeting Shinji Matou was the second.

She waved

He swung the chains and disappeared before Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka, sparing the two lucky masters' lives.

The numerous traps set up in the forest slowly disappeared.

Fate/stay night, UBW timeline.

"Shirou... At times like this, regardless of whether the enemy has set up traps or you don't have enough Command Seals, you absolutely must summon me with Command Seals!" Artoria stood up angrily, slammed her hand on the table, and pointed at the screen.

She was furious at her master's economical behavior of not wanting to use Command Seals, wanting to fight the Heroic Spirits on his own in a critical moment instead of using Command Seals.

She had absolutely no idea what was going on in Master's head.

"Shirou, I must seriously remind you. Modern mages cannot defeat Heroic Spirits. You are no match for them... Their physique, strength, and fighting style are not on the same level. The advantage of Heroic Spirits in their spirit form is enough to kill most Masters. Unless, you possess autonomous defensive magic items, or some defensive Mystic Codes...!"

"When a Master encounters a Heroic Spirit, the best course of action is to use Command Seals to force the Heroic Spirit to move towards them. The value of all items lies solely in ensuring the Master survives the attack from the enemy Heroic Spirit before the Servant arrives!!"

A crack appeared on the table in the Emiya household, and Artoria, in a fit of anger, slapped the table so hard that it shattered.

She was used to patting the long table at round-table meetings, but she never expected... that the Emiya family's table would be so fragile...

"Ah...it's okay, it's okay. I'll have Tohsaka come and fix it. I understand...I understand...I won't do it again next time." Shirou Emiya nodded obediently.

"And Shirou, why do you like to provoke enemies stronger than yourself?! That's incredibly foolish! Taunting and provoking are tactics used when both sides are evenly matched or when you have the upper hand. Why do you act without considering the situation or the enemy?"

Artoria had already started her lecturing mode, pointing her finger at Shirou Emiya and talking incessantly.

She seemed to be venting her frustration at not having communicated with Kiritsugu Emiya beforehand.

No, it's because the Knight King didn't want the upright young man in front of him to die under such frustrating and ridiculous circumstances.

"Saber, well done! That's right, Shirou is so stupid. He just charged straight at her like that, are you an idiot, an idiot??? That's Medusa, that's a goddess!!" Fujimura Taiga really wanted to give Emiya Shirou a buff.

"Have you forgotten that Miss Medusa could ride a women's bicycle and fly directly to the moon?"

Artoria sighed. Fortunately, Medusa did not appear here in flesh and blood, otherwise Pegasus, who had formed a bond with her in her time, would also have appeared here.

She dared not underestimate the power of this mythical beast; to fight against Pegasus, she could only unleash her Noble Phantasm to counter its energy.

Rin Tohsaka, Ayako Mitsuzuri, and the Fuyuki City Black Panther covered their mouths in surprise as they stared at Shirou Emiya in the scene.

"Doesn't it hurt?! Waaaaah, this guy is such a monster! Is he really a high school student like me?" Fuyuki City's Black Panther stared in disbelief, utterly astonished.

"This is definitely more painful than getting your finger caught in a door, much more painful... If it were me, I would already be lying on the ground crying my eyes out."

"Idiot... idiot...! Why did you save your enemy?! I've treated you like this, why did you still save me?!"

At the Tohsaka residence, Rin Tohsaka, clutching her pillow, watched with resentment as she was rescued. She was the one who had been chasing Shirou Emiya, but she had made a foolish mistake and almost died.

She also told Shirou Emiya that he had boasted and made grand promises, but in the end... he didn't even realize he had fallen into the enemy's trap.

"This isn't a Rider at all!! The Medusa in this world is an Assassin! What kind of knight would hide in the side and secretly ambush someone else's Master?"

"Hmph, anyway, it was the future Shirou Emiya who saved me. I... I won't be grateful." Rin Tohsaka buried her head in the pillow, her jade-like feet clad in black stockings twitching incessantly, her resentful voice echoing in the room.

Watching Shirou Emiya save himself from a third-person perspective, from God's point of view, is a completely different experience.

It was the first time she had ever been protected, the first time she had ever been the one being protected.

The man stood in front of him and protected him.

Is it because of the protagonist's halo that Shirou Emiya made Rin Tohsaka fall in love with him? What kind of ridiculous high jump setting is that?

No, actually none of those are true.

Emiya Shirou is stupid enough, but his stupidity is unique and impossible for others to imitate. How did Guo Jing manage to win over Huang Rong?

That's how Shirou Emiya made Rin Tohsaka fall for him.

23 Twisted Goodness: Shinji Matou's Performance

Looking at Shirou Emiya, who was still preparing to fight for her, Rin Tohsaka stared at him speechlessly.

She changed her mind; she was no longer able to kill Shirou Emiya.

The two temporarily formed an alliance.

Looking at the simple-minded, silly boy in front of her, Rin Tohsaka was really worried, just like Shizuka was worried about Nobita.

She also learned of the existence of Shirou Emiya's father, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was neither a competent father nor a magician.

Emiya Shirou was walking home when he suddenly stopped. "This is enough."

"Huh? You don't need guards?" the Heroic Spirit Emiya said reluctantly.

As expected, Rin Tohsaka failed to defeat Shirou Emiya and even encountered Rider. It seems that the magician controlling Rider in this Holy Grail War is the somewhat incompetent Shinji Matou.

"I don't need a bodyguard with such a murderous aura." Shirou Emiya looked at Archer with disdain.

Archer hadn't forgotten when he ambushed him and Saber.

"Heh heh..." Heroic Spirit Emiya said sarcastically, "I really have to look at you in a new light. I can sense the level of killing intent you exude. It seems you've improved in combat. I will follow Rin's instructions and won't lay a hand on you [since it's killing anyway, it can be dealt with anytime]."

In Archer's eyes, Shirou Emiya is like an ant under his feet, someone he can crush at any time. There's no need to risk breaking with Rin Tohsaka to kill Shirou Emiya now.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya and Emiya Shirou had a friendly and amicable exchange, and both gained some understanding of each other.

Emiya, a Heroic Spirit who utterly despises and disdains the Holy Grail.

The only Servant summoned in this Holy Grail War by her own will is Artoria Pendragon.

After becoming a Heroic Spirit, one becomes restless, constantly being summoned by humans or by the Counter Force to work. Heroic Spirit Emiya is extremely unhappy with the 007 work arranged by Alaya.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya of this world has not yet appeared in Chaldea to escape Alaya, nor has he become the retired Emiya Mother.

For some reason, throughout the entire history of humanity, the Heroic Spirit who does the most dirty work and cleans up after humanity is Emiya. Alaya practically delegates all the tasks to Emiya...

It's already a miracle that the Heroic Spirit Emiya, the most ruthless boss in the history of humankind, didn't turn evil, or that his personality didn't become strange or twisted.

He told Shirou Emiya that he had no desires and no wishes he wanted to fulfill, and that he died and became a Heroic Spirit after fulfilling his wishes.

Shirou Emiya sensed a complex mix of emotions in Archer's tone: disgust at being a Heroic Spirit and frustration and anger at being reduced to a human cleaner.

The Kyushu Lostbelt: Chen Gong and Red Hare Timeline.

"...Didn't you say that heroic spirits respond to summons according to their own subjective will?" Qin Liangyu asked doubtfully.

“It is possible to refuse, but… Mr. Emiya cannot refuse. He is… a very special Heroic Spirit,” Mash said with a complicated expression.

"Mr. Emiya's appearance here is not because of the Holy Grail War or because of Rin Tohsaka's mediation. It's because there is a calamity threatening humanity here, so Mr. Emiya's appearance here is quite logical."

"So, it's the world's suppressive force that's causing this?" Qin Liangyu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya has no desires that she wants to have fulfilled. Although she claims to be without desires, she simply doesn't believe it. Look at Emiya Shirou's murderous and extremely disdainful eyes, isn't that a manifestation of desire?

"How strange... When the grown-up version of himself sees his younger self, he actually wants to kill his younger self. Is it because Shirou Emiya is too stupid now? So dull that the grown-up Shirou can't stand it anymore?" This was the first time Mashu had ever seen Shirou's mother show such an expression.

Even if Miss Elizabeth asked Emiya to make Valentine's Day chocolates for her senior, Emiya wouldn't be unhappy about it.

"Hmm... I understand! For example, if I, Leonardo da Vinci, saw another version of myself as an idiot, not an artist, but painting fakes... I can't even guarantee what I would do to that other version of myself!!"

Da Vinci waved her wand. If such a version of herself really existed, then... then she would definitely use magic to change the name of that other foolish version of herself.

“Impossible, Da Vinci is joking. No matter what world Da Vinci is from, he is a genius, an omnipotent person!” Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu said to Da Vinci in unison.

"Hehehehe... Is that so, right!" Leonardo da Vinci's face lit up with a bright smile.

"Ah... I really wish I could get help from other worlds of Leonardo da Vinci. We should all gather together, all-powerful beings from other parallel worlds! If ten versions of myself came to New Chaldea to help me with my work... that would be wonderful. I could sleep on time every day then."

"Ten technical advisors in New Chaldea~???" Gordolf's face showed a blissful smile, indulging in this wonderful fantasy. With ten Leonardo da Vinci-like figures in Chaldea, he would be much more comfortable as the commander.

The ten technical advisors at Chaldea felt like Sherlock Holmes with Watson's help—they were twice as efficient, no, they were super efficient.

Mordred looked at Shirou Emiya with a complicated expression. This Shirou Emiya in this world was truly reckless and truly stupid. This kind of recklessness and stupidity, but respect for the thoughts of his Servant...

To be honest, as a Heroic Spirit who is summoned, what she hopes for most is that the Master she encounters will respect her and not cause trouble!

No wonder, Father would be with Emiya Shirou

Making a contract... If she saw her father appear next to an idiot like Matou Shinji, she would definitely go crazy.

She would rush over and split open Shinji Matou's skull to see how much his brain had shrunk.

"King Arthur, the King of Heroes, Princess Medea—the Holy Grail War here is truly a magnificent spectacle of heroic spirits." Jing Ke watched the screen with interest. "So who will be the Assassin appearing here this time? With so many heroic spirits possessing royal attributes, summoning an assassin with a special attack against kings would be the best option, wouldn't it?"

She was somewhat excited. She had assassinated the First Emperor and killed several kings in the Second Singularity, but she had never killed Gilgamesh or Artoria.

Fortunately, the cheating master, the First Emperor, did not appear here.

She didn't want to see the First Emperor of a parallel world end the Holy Grail War as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and then start researching the Holy Grail.

She was reincarnated into a world where only otome games have doom flags.

Fate/stay night, Unlimited Blade Works, Medea timeline (parallel world).

Medea leaned against the adult Shirou Emiya, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You described me so badly before. Were you prepared to be punished?"

She was dressed in her decisive attire, her fair face flushed with embarrassment, her eyes burning as she gazed at the Heroic Spirit Emiya, who was bound by magical threads.

"Ahem...that's what I said from another world. It has nothing to do with me, right? Even though we look the same, we're not the same kind of people at all," Shirou Emiya said awkwardly.

In this timeline, Shirou Emiya summons Medea. After learning about her experiences and desires, their feelings for each other quickly intensify and become passionate.

She was reincarnated into a world where only otome games have doom flags.

"Strange, why is the Heroic Spirit Emiya so unhappy with his younger self? Emiya Shirou has already performed quite well. For a 16-year-old boy, he is already very outstanding. However, he just lacks some of the thought processes of a normal person."

What Mary Hunter dislikes most about Shirou Emiya is that he will accept any request from others, even if he knows that Shinji Matou hit Sakura. As long as that scumbag Shinji Matou denies it, Shirou Emiya will believe him. That's just too stupid!

Lacking their own initiative, completely following others' opinions, and lacking their own judgment...

Perhaps I've been too demanding of Shirou Emiya, but you're the protagonist of this story, right? It's perfectly normal to have high expectations!

"Mmm... Ah, I also want to eat Shirou's cooking. It would be even better if Emiya Shirou could make desserts or something. It would be great to have a younger brother at home who would help me clean and tidy up." Katarina Claires said lazily, lying on the student council sofa, holding a romance novel in her hand.

"Brother...!?" Geese Clares sensed the danger, swallowed hard, and realized he really should learn these things.

Although he was different from other aristocratic young masters, most of the male students in the student council did not do housework or cook.

The Emiya family.

“Sakura, I want to discuss something with you.” Shirou Emiya looked at Sakura Matou earnestly. “It’s been dangerous outside at night lately, so why don’t you stay here tonight? No, if possible, stay for the rest of the time.”

"Sorry..." Not receiving a reply from Matou Sakura, and seeing her slightly bewildered expression, Emiya Shirou realized his suggestion was somewhat... "Do you find it inconvenient?"

With Saber at the Emiya residence, those mages or Heroic Spirits probably wouldn't dare to come looking for trouble.
