My team members turned out to be heroic spirits

Jiang Li naturally noticed something was wrong with his friend.

When he came back from the British Dimension battlefield, Emiya Shirou never showed up.

Although the two parties had only been friends for a few months, Jiang Li thought he still understood Shirou.

The other party was not a cold-tempered person, so he might have been distracted by something and was unable to attend his friend's funeral.

"Sorry, can you go in and talk?"

Emiya Shirou said so.

"of course can."

The two of them walked into the house together.

At this moment, Anna is cooking in the kitchen.

She didn't really want to see the eldest lady, so she didn't go to the door to greet the visitor.

It wasn't until she heard a male voice other than her brother that the petite girl stuck her head out.

Then she saw Emiya Shirou.

"Good afternoon, Anna."

Emiya Shirou raised his hand slightly as a greeting.

"Good afternoon, Shirou. Didn't Illya come with you?"

Speaking of which, I haven't seen my friends for a long time.

Illya is Anna's only friend of the same age - although Illya is actually older than her.

"Illya, she..."

Emiya Shirou opened his mouth to say something.

His expression was a little gloomy.

"Is it about Ilia?" Jiang Li asked, "Is she in any trouble?"

There was no doubt that something had happened to Illya.

Otherwise Shirou wouldn't behave like this.

"……Yes."

Finally, Emiya Shirou nodded.

"Jiang Li, I came here this time hoping that you can help me."

He lowered his head and begged sincerely.

"No matter what you need me to do from now on, I just hope you can help me save Illya."

Thinking of his sister, Shirou felt pain in his heart.

Illya is still so young, but she may only be able to live in that cramped and narrow space for the rest of her life.

Emiya Shirou believed that this was torture that would last until the end of her life for Illya.

Because Illya's personality has always been very lively and outgoing, being forced to stay in that small space was obviously extremely torture.

The red-haired boy's knees bent.

"I agree, Shirou."

Jiang Li directly stretched out his hand to support his friend and stopped him from kneeling.

"But you don't need to go to this point, we are friends."

he said very seriously.

"I……"

Emiya Shirou looked at his friend's sincere eyes and was speechless for a moment.

If Illya successfully escapes that cruel future, then this kindness must be repaid no matter what - even if it costs his life.

"What's going on with Illya now, Shirou?"

Jiang Li asked.

Now we need to understand Illya's situation first.

He was still very concerned about the white-haired girl.

Not only because the other person is his sister's friend, but also because seeing Illya reminds him of Anna.

Because of this, Jiang Li was able to better understand Shirou Emiya's mood.

Because he also had times like this——

When her parents died in the war, Anna was diagnosed with mental illness.

During that time, Jiang Li also behaved the same as Shirou.

So at that time, Tamamo Mae who extended a helping hand to him left a deep impression on Jiang Li.

Therefore, he was not afraid of danger and went to Japan Shrine to participate in the operation to save Tamamo Mae.

"Illya's body is very dangerous. Although she can maintain her life with the help of the professors at Jixia Academy, once she leaves the life-support cabin, she will die due to body collapse."

"I don't want Illya to be unable to move for the rest of her life and have to live in a small survival capsule."

Emiya Shirou looked sad.

Mentioning Illya's situation made him feel heartbroken.

Illya is a good child, kind, gentle, lively and innocent.

Why did fate treat her so cruelly?

"..."

Hearing this, Jiang Li was speechless for a moment.

If Anna was in the same situation——

"I've decided to help with this. If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me."

He directly held Emiya Shirou's hand.

Jiang Li was almost out of breath just by putting himself in his shoes.

If his sister was in such a situation, he would probably act like Shirou Emiya.

"Thank you, Jiang Li."

Emiya Shirou looked at him with grateful eyes.

"You're welcome, Shirou. Illya is about the same age as my sister, and she's also Anna's friend. Naturally, I can't ignore her."

"And...I can understand you."

When he said this, Jiang Li's eyes turned to Anna.

The unspoken meaning of his words is self-evident.

Everyone has a sister, so we can understand.

"..."

The girl's head lowered.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and the tips of her ears turned red.

The smart Anna naturally knew what Jiang Li meant.

This concern made the girl's heart feel as if she had eaten honey, and her previous dissatisfaction was instantly thrown away.

"Brother, I like it the most."

Anna thought in her mind.

"If I can be of any help, please let me know."

Then the girl looked up.

Illya is her friend, so Anna also hopes to help Illya.

She also didn't want to see her friends have to live like that for the rest of their lives.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

If this is the case, death may actually be a relief——

No, you can't say that.

Death may be a relief for me, but for those who care about her, it is a huge blow.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Emiya Shirou burst into tears.

It is a blessing to be able to make such friends.

"So, how can we help Illya now?"

Jiang Li asked seriously.

"Jiang Li, listen to me first."

Emiya Shirou did not immediately express his request.

"Illya is not a naturally born human being, but the result of experiments on artificial heroic spirits."

This is an unavoidable fact, and it is also the reason why Illya fell into this situation.

She was born with a flaw.

Even though he has considerable strength at a young age, this comes at the cost of his body.

Illya, who has completely liberated herself, possesses the strength of a lower-level heroic spirit, but at the same time, her body will immediately begin to collapse.

As an artificial heroic spirit, it can barely be considered a successful work.

After all, this is a man-made heroic spirit.

If the technology matures, then maybe humans can mass-produce heroic spirits for combat.

But as a human being, Illya is a defective product, she will never grow up, and she may die from physical breakdown one day, and her lifespan is far less than that of a normal person.

According to the tests conducted by those professors, Illya's lifespan is no more than 30 years old.

But now, Illya is gone.

In other words, even if nothing happened to her body this time, Illya would only have 12 years to live.

"..."

Listening to Shirou Emiya's story, both Jiang Li and Anna fell into silence.

The two of them did not expect that Illya's life experience would be so tragic.

[Artificial Heroic Spirit], this is the first time Jiang Li has heard of it.

The most advanced and final creation is Ilia.

The core of its power comes from the creation called the [Holy Grail] implanted in the body. This is Einzbern's highest masterpiece. The [Artificial Heroic Spirit] is also realized based on the existence of the [Holy Grail].

But the body of the artificial man cannot withstand the magical radiation of the [Holy Grail].

Even after undergoing adjustments, Illya's lifespan is only 30 years at most.

Then, Jiang Li thought of a question——

Can the Original Fire help Illya escape that cruel fate?

…………

The initial fire is very special, and its power is extremely magical.

The most typical one is the resurrection of the dead, and even the long-dead people can be brought back to life from the long river of time.
