Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth and glared at Shirou Emiya, looking at him fiercely as if she were about to grab his face at any moment.

"Is that so... I found it strange before, and now I'm finally sure. Shirou, your way of living is quite twisted." Rin Tohsaka decided to break the shackles binding Shirou Emiya right here.

She wants to understand the root cause of Shirou Emiya's twisted state. She wants to change it, she wants to deny it!

If we don't do this, Shirou Emiya will definitely die somewhere someday, somewhere he can't see.

“Distorted…but…?” Shirou Emiya’s eyes became extremely abnormal, lost and disoriented. The lush green plants around him now presented a completely different scene to him.

"Yes. It's wrong to live a life that prioritizes others over yourself. Listen carefully, humans can't function without putting themselves first."

Rin Tohsaka looked intently at Shirou Emiya. The expression on his face now, compared to what he had done before, infuriated her and made her feel sorry for him.

"There are also people who put others first."

However, that was actually an "exception" of not putting oneself on the scales.

In truth, you are already a Libra yourself. But you are willing to undermine Libra in order to help others.

That doesn't matter. If you're someone who has no sense of self and lives only to survive, then so be it.

But Shirou, you have a self. It won't work to have a strong sense of self yet ignore yourself.

"If you keep going like this, you'll break down one day."

"That's not true..." Emiya Shirou, it's impossible, I won't break down.

In order to avoid collapsing and to hold my head high, I hope to save those who cannot get help.

"You're wrong. Your condition is already very serious."

...So, I don't know what happened ten years ago. But that's why you're not normal...!

Rin Tohsaka wants to know what Shirou went through ten years ago to become the way he is now.

She looked at the ground with extremely sad eyes, hoping that Shirou Emiya would be honest with her. She wanted to help Shirou Emiya; she wanted to save Shirou Emiya.

How can someone who wants to save others so much remain unsaved?

He should be saved too.

Looking into Rin Tohsaka's eyes, it was as if she were in the future, knowing that she would not receive anything in the end, and desperately trying to stop her present self.

"...back in school"

I suppose so. You saw so many corpses, yet you remained incredibly calm.

...Even I mistook them for corpses, but you only glanced at them and knew everyone was still alive. I've always found that strange.

Despite having no formal magician training, he can immediately remain calm in situations involving killing. He feels anger in the presence of corpses, yet he doesn't feel disgust towards them.

This must be because you've become accustomed to human death. Thinking about it, you probably already experienced all of this ten years ago.

Yes, Tohsaka is right. Shirou Emiya has seen far too many of these things. "No, Tohsaka. That's not true. I was the one who was saved."

Rin Tohsaka wonders if Shirou Emiya has made some kind of contract with her, a contract he has made for her.

She was worried.

I'm worried that this contract will harm Shirou Emiya.

"No. I wasn't taken away from anything. I gained something."

In Fuyuki City, which had been transformed into hell, everyone except himself had died; he was the only one who survived.

No one could rescue people from the fire caused by the black mud. Fire trucks couldn't get through, and water and fire-extinguishing foam were completely ineffective in extinguishing the black mud.

Emiya Shirou's wish to be saved was fulfilled at the last moment.

"I still remember. The look in his eyes and the pleading voice that went for help."

I kept thinking about it in the abyss. I wasn't thinking about my own salvation, but rather how wonderful it was that someone had actually reached out a helping hand. It was a miracle, and that's why I longed for such miracles.

When he was rescued, Shirou Emiya was overjoyed and tears streamed down his face.

I also want to share this feeling with others. The process of saving people is joyful, and those who are saved will also become happy.

“Tohsaka must have been right. But because I was saved, all I could think about at the time was—if there’s a next time, I must take the place of those who weren’t saved and save everyone,” Shirou Emiya said in a deep voice.

"I'm telling you! This is the most abnormal thing about you!! Listen carefully, you must value yourself before you can save others! It's really painful to think about the dead, but it's just a coincidence that you were the only one saved!!"

Rin Tohsaka pointed at Shirou Emiya and said loudly, hoping the person in front of her would listen to her: "Please cherish this good fortune. After experiencing such a tragic fate, how can you not live happily from now on!"

Emiya Shirou was delighted to see Rin Tohsaka scolding him.

A question that has puzzled me for a long time.

Because I wanted to be a messenger of justice, I always gave to others.

Although I realized there was something wrong with the approach, I couldn't understand it.

Now Shirou Emiya knows the answer—it's all because of Rin Tohsaka in front of him, Rin Tohsaka who was genuinely angry because she was worried about him.

"W-what?! Don't you understand after all that?! It's infuriating! Working with a blockhead like you is driving me crazy!!"

Rin Tohsaka stomped her feet in frustration. Since she couldn't be violent towards Shirou Emiya, she could only vent her anger on the ground.

"No, I understand. I told you, didn't I? Tohsaka is right."

"So--!"

"However, I still can't accept your advice. I guess I did make some mistakes. But that's okay, because I think that it's never wrong to think of others first."

Emiya Shirou looked at Tohsaka Rin with a grateful tone and a sincere attitude.

"Seriously, seriously!! You idiot, you big idiot! What can I say when I see that expression on your face?"

Rin Tohsaka turned her back to Shirou Emiya and left the castle, which had been reduced to ruins.

She found herself now bearing not only the responsibility of resolving the Holy Grail War, but also the responsibility of correcting Shirou Emiya's mistakes.

"Well, there's no other way. Since that's the case, I'll have to think of a solution myself."

Her shoulders slumped, and her pale face, turned bright red as she faced away from Shirou Emiya, seemed to be contorting. "So I'm going to be with this guy for a very, very long time..."

Damn it, Rin Tohsaka thought about how her younger sister also liked Shirou Emiya.

Then...doesn't that mean both Tohsaka sisters have fallen into Shirou Emiya's hands?!

To make Shirou Emiya marry Sakura and himself...?

No, no, no, what are you thinking about right now, Tohsaka! Now is not the time to think about these things; the matter is not completely resolved yet.

Archer!! I don't know what this idiot is thinking, but I'll still teach you a lesson later.

Rin Tohsaka does not hate Archer for betraying her.

She knew perfectly well that Archer hadn't betrayed her; he probably had his own agenda. She couldn't let Rin Tohsaka be involved in this; she had already been excluded from Archer's plans.

Yes, no one knows Archer's arrogance better than himself.

This arrogant red-clad knight always beats around the bush.

Fate/stay night, Unlimited Blade Works, timeline.

"Shirou, Shirou. I want to see Shirou right now! We've never even met before, but I think I've already fallen for Shirou! As expected of my little brother! He doesn't know who I am, but he still feels sad for me."

Illya didn't care whether Shirou Emiya treated everyone this way.

She will make sure, she will make Shirou kneel at her feet.

Shirou certainly wouldn't feel any reluctance about becoming the younger brother of the cutest magician and also the strongest magician, Illya.

"Young Miss!! This idiot who's obsessed with justice and saving others, will he really cherish you, Young Miss!?"

"I don't believe it. We need to observe further." Sera still couldn't believe Shirou Emiya.

“Sera is too cautious. Shirou is not that kind of person.”

Liselle looked at Shirou Emiya in the picture with a blank expression.

"I don't care, I don't care! I want to go to Shirou's house to play right now. Sera, Sera, please."

Ilya grasped Sera's hand, shaking it incessantly, and said coquettishly:

"Sera, Lyselle, come with me too. It's my first time visiting my brother's house, so I should prepare some gifts, right? Something fancy, like ingredients for fine cooking, or wild deer or rabbits hunted in the forest?"

I want to try Shirou's cooking!

"Please, Sera!"

Seeing Ilya acting coquettishly towards her, Sera wore a helpless expression. "I, I know. Young lady, you must be mindful of your image. You absolutely mustn't pounce on her. You must bring your Berserker. You must be careful!"

Sera and Lyselle began to think about what gift to bring.

The young lady's suggestion is indeed good. The ingredients that Emiya Shirou used to make the meals for his servants are too simple and too poor.

How could we let the young lady eat these things?

As expected, let's send some high-end ingredients. For the young lady's health!

Archer stood atop the tower, gazing at the distant scenery, sunlight falling on the faces of his righteous companions.

Seeing Kiritsugu Emiya's smile in the picture, seeing the scene of his own rescue.

He no longer wanted to be entangled with Shirou Emiya in this world.

Even if the other party's consciousness is immature or will break down, it has nothing to do with me anymore.

The Emiya family.

"Aaaaaah—! Don't look, don't listen to my thoughts!! There's no way I could have any relationship with Emiya that goes beyond friendship."

Absolutely, absolutely impossible.

I did that because I was worried about Emiya-kun; it was out of friendship.

Rin Tohsaka crossed her arms in front of her, shaking her head frantically, her twin tails trembling uncontrollably.

“I know, I understand. Hehehehe... Tohsaka-san would never be interested in Shirou.” Fujimura Taiga nudged Emiya Shirou, who was also blushing, with his elbow and teased him.

"You two are just business partners. When Shirou said he liked her, he meant Tohsaka's talent as a magician, her playful nature, and her excellent character."

She didn't want Shirou to marry into the Tohsaka family.

It's not easy to get free meals from Shirou who has become Tohsaka Shirou.

She can come and go as she pleases at her own brother's house, and disturb Shirou whenever she wants.

But the Tohsaka family is different!

Grand Carnival World.

"You're right, there's nothing wrong with having the feeling and the ideal of thinking about others. But since you know you should think about others, those others don't include Fujimura Taiga, Matou Sakura, or Tohsaka Rin."

Are these people important to you? If you don't cherish yourself, you'll only cause pain to those who care about you.

How can this be considered thinking of others? Boudica smiled at Shirou Emiya and said, "The right way is to cherish yourself, take care of yourself, and then think of others."

“That’s right! Lady Boudica is indeed an outstanding educator. I wholeheartedly agree!” Kasuga Tsubone said with a smile, “But it’s alright, good boy, Shirou is such a good boy.”

I really want to pat you on the head and give you a reward. What you did was right, but you need to change your method a little!

You are still young, and you have a long life ahead of you. You will definitely change in the days to come.

Because Shirou Emiya in this world has already been redeemed by others.

Ereshkigal, Tranquility, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Kiyohime, Charlotte Corday, and Jeanne d'Arc in Black felt their hearts burn as they watched this scene, and the radiant smile of Fujimaru Ritsuka appeared in their minds.

Yes, the master they admire is also that kind of person, someone who always thinks of others.

They love Fujimaru Ritsuka like this, they love Fujimaru Ritsuka who does everything she can for others and to save the world.

But what I like most is that Fujimaru Ritsuka respects the thoughts of every Heroic Spirit, and does not treat them as mere props, but as living, breathing human beings just like herself.

No Game No Life Zero world.

King Rick of Man stood in a corner of the square, playing chess with Tetu:

"Although there are many bad people among humanity, I believe that the proportion of bad people is still extremely small, very small."

We only need to ensure a good harvest and sufficient food reserves. We can also provide the people of the kingdom with recreational activities to relax their minds.

With the existence of law enforcement organizations and laws in various places, the vast majority of crimes can be curbed.
