Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

It looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a while.

In front of Emiya's house, there was a sign hanging on the wall that was very familiar to Emiya Shirou - [Emiya].

This is enough to prove that I in this world still live here.

"Have I left Fuyuki City as well?"

With such doubts, Shirou Emiya gently pushed open the door that was not closed to begin with. Everything was exactly the same as the Emiya house he remembered.

Except for the dried blood on the ground in front of the door.

The frosty wind whistled past at this moment, brushing across Emiya Shirou's face, bringing with it a scent of cherry blossoms that gradually dissipated like withering cherry blossoms, leaving behind a sense of sadness.

"Squeak—!"

Emiya Shirou pushed open the entrance door with a puzzled look.

What exactly happened to me in this world?

Why do I feel sad again.

"Pa-ta-!"

The light was turned on.

Under the gray sky outside, the house seemed very dark.

Although the entire Fuyuki City was like a ghost town, the power system seemed to be completely unaffected and electrical equipment could be used normally.

The furnishings in the living room were exactly as Emiya Shirou knew them, with almost no difference from his own home.

Although in a way, this is my home.

“It seems that [I] wasn’t away for too long.”

If the door wasn't covered with ice and snow, looking like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, you wouldn't be able to tell that the owner of the house had been away for a while just by looking at the interior.

There wasn't too much dust in the house, and every place was kept clean and tidy. There were even some refrigerated ingredients in the refrigerator.

It is easy to tell that the owner of this house has not been away for too long.

Shirou Emiya was not in a hurry. It was obviously not something that could be done in a short period of time to figure out the current situation in Fuyuki City.

There is no need to catch up with time now, and there is no threat of anyone chasing you.

"This is my room, this is Kiritsugu's room, and this is Sakura's room. I didn't find Fuji-nee and Rin's rooms, but there is a strange room."

It was strange. It was indeed very strange to Shirou Emiya. After all, the layout of this room did not match any of his memory.

All I can say is that as a parallel world, it is common that many things do not match one's own cognition.

When participating in the Holy Grail of the Moon, there were many things that did not match their own world, such as Sakura being an advanced AI and Shinji being only seven years old.

So Emiya Shirou was not surprised.

Judging from various things in the house, the person living here is just a child, probably an elementary school student.

But in Shirou Emiya's own memory, he couldn't match anyone he knew in Fuyuki City, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

"The lights in the corridor were broken and there was dried blood on the ground."

Looking at the glass shards falling on the ground, Shirou Emiya frowned, because it didn't look like a natural explosion at all, but more like being destroyed by some sharp weapon.

"Also, the glass facing the atrium was shattered."

He tilted his head slightly and saw shattered glass on the side.

And behind the shattered glass is the atrium.

In the atrium, there were obvious signs of collapse and swords on the ground, and the walls were also mottled with various battles. The warehouse was in chaos, as if some kind of close-range impact had occurred.

It was obvious that a battle had taken place in the atrium, an extremely fierce battle.

"It's my fight. Or rather, it's my fight in this world."

Looking at the traces of swords on the ground, Shirou Emiya instantly determined that this was the damage caused by the projected sword.

But this is all the information we can get, and more questions arise instead.

"Senior, if you want to know what happened in Fuyuki City, I think the only way is to ask that person - Kotomine Kirei."

At this moment, the voice of White-haired Sakura was heard in my ears.

"Where is he now?"

"It should be near Commercial East Street. Records show that he owns a ramen shop there."

Magic is basically performed in secret, and even if she could take over the network, the information she could obtain would be extremely limited.

The key information about Fuyuki City is limited to the disaster 10 years ago, a disaster half a month ago, gas leaks, meteorite falls, etc.

It's not that Fuyuki City is uninhabited nowadays, it's just that there are not many residents still staying in Fuyuki City.

According to the report, the residents of Fuyuki City seemed to be feeling threatened by frequent gas explosions, so they decided to leave.

But what was actually going on was something White-haired Sakura had no idea.

But she knew that in this world, Kotomine Kirei, a member of the Holy Church, the administrator of Fuyuki City, was still alive.

"Was the disaster ten years ago the Fourth Holy Grail War?"

His memory is very deep. It is more accurate to say that Emiya Shirou's memory started from the disaster ten years ago when he was rescued by Kiritsugu.

The same is true in this world. The disaster ten years ago took the lives of countless people.

The announcement to the public was also very simple and crude - a gas explosion.

"If we calculate according to the time, then it should be now, the fifth Holy Grail War that Sajo Aika mentioned!"

Shirou Emiya held a positive attitude towards the other party's words. As for why, he had already confirmed with Toosaka Rin about the Fifth Holy Grail War. The abnormal movement of the Holy Grail indicated that the Fifth Holy Grail War was about to come.

If the general course of this parallel world is the same as what one has experienced, then the disaster that White Hair Sakura investigated was caused by the Fifth Holy Grail War.

After all, the disaster occurred in Yuanzang Mountain.

Because Sakura swallowed up all the evil in this world, Emiya Shirou knew that the Holy Grail in his world's Fuyuki City was in Mount Enzo.

If it was a coincidence that the [gas explosion] in this world occurred at Mount Enzo, Shirou Emiya would definitely not believe it.

"welcome--!"

When the door curtain was lifted, a deep voice that was very familiar to Emiya Shirou came from inside.

Behind the counter, Kotomine Kirei was wearing a blue cloth hat on his head, a white towel around his neck, a black short-sleeved shirt, and an apron with the word "Ma" written on it, all in the style of a store manager.

Kotomine Kirei stared at Emiya Shirou who came in, and seemed surprised by his sudden appearance.

Then, he spoke slowly.

"Would you like some ramen?"

But before Emiya Shirou could say anything, Kotomine Kirei spoke immediately.

“There’s only mapo tofu ramen here!”

Shirou Emiya could see a look in his eyes that was filled with a strong sense of irresistibility.

"Can I refuse?"

It seemed that the Kotomine Kirei in front of him was not exactly the same as the one he knew.

"Don't waste food!"

The next second, a bowl of steaming hot Mapo Tofu Ramen was brought out by Kotomine Kirei.

Although it was mapo tofu ramen, Shirou Emiya only saw the thick mapo tofu and didn't see any trace of ramen at all.

"Gudong——!"

The sound of swallowing saliva was heard in this ramen shop. He had seen how horrible Mapo Tofu was.

He had done this before, and his hands were so spicy that he lost feeling afterward.

So when Shirou Emiya saw Mapo Tofu, he still had some psychological trauma.

But for some reason, facing Kotomine Kirei in front of him wearing the store manager's uniform and facing his fierce eyes, Emiya Shirou decided that it was better to have less trouble than more, so he might as well eat it.

Chapter 935: Justice gained by sacrificing others is not justice

In some unknown place, eh?

In a very famous ramen restaurant with countless repeat customers.

Shirou Emiya was devouring the Mapo Tofu Ramen in front of him that was as red as lava.

Of course, he didn't eat as fast as a wolf, but he wasn't slow either. It seemed that if he stopped, he would be swallowed by some horrible monster. He kept putting the Mapo Tofu in front of him into his mouth.

In just a few minutes, Shirou Emiya ended his battle with Mapo Tofu.

His entire face was as red as a flame.

"Ok?"

Kotomine Kirei was seen standing in the kitchen with his brows tightly furrowed, staring at Emiya Shirou who had already finished the mapo tofu ramen in his bowl, as if he was observing something.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Emiya Shirou breathed heavily and looked at Kotomine Kirei nervously.

The reason for the nervousness was simple: he cheated.

Most of the mapo tofu was swallowed up by the black mud, and Shirou Emiya only actually ate a very small part of it.

It’s really spicy, the black mud is boiling.

Heini: Let me say it again, please turn on the microphone to communicate!

But it was just this small portion of mapo tofu that made Emiya Shirou feel as if he saw Kiritsugu waving at him from the other side of the river.

"It seems that the new product has not been fully developed yet and still needs to be improved—"

Standing in the kitchen, Kotomine Kirei touched his chin, seeming extremely dissatisfied with Emiya Shirou's performance after eating.

"If it gets any spicier, it won't be something humans can bear!"

The improvement might be to add more spiciness. Looking at the bright red remaining in his bowl, Shirou Emiya's face showed helplessness. Does he really want to run his store well?

"We've finished our noodles, and now it's time to say something."

After pulling a piece of paper from the side and wiping off the remaining red on the corners of his mouth, Emiya Shirou turned his gaze to Kotomine Kirei and said these words.

"The test is over. Kotomine Kirei, tell me, what exactly happened in Fuyuki City?"

Hearing Emiya Shirou's words, Kotomine Kirei, who was walking over, paused slightly.

The information provided by White Haired Sakura was already very clear. Kotomine Kirei was previously a priest of the Fuyuki City Church, but he just opened a ramen restaurant here.

Although in this world, Kotomine Kirei's main job seems to be the manager of a ramen restaurant, and his secondary job is a priest.

"You are more mature than the Emiya Shirou I know—"

Kotomine Kirei stared at Emiya Shirou with eyes that showed almost no emotion, then he put away the empty ramen bowl in front of him and walked towards the sink.

The young man in front of him did not seem as lost as the one he saw in church.

After going through so much, it’s time to mature.

Emiya Shirou is no longer the same person he used to be. He is not as impulsive and impatient as before, and he is not the one who would just rush into things without knowing anything.

"But, what is your purpose in wanting to know all this? Or what is your reason? Only then will I tell you what I know!"

Calm words mixed with the sound of washing dishes echoed in the silent store.

Kotomine Kirei naturally didn't mind telling everything he knew to the man in front of him, Shirou Emiya. He was just a bystander and didn't care no matter how the world changed. All he cared about was pleasure.

The question he raised was just what he wanted to ask and what he wanted to know.

Every person and every action has his own purpose and reason. Another Shirou Emiya embarks on a journey and chooses his sister between the world and his sister.

He wanted to know whether the reason why this Emiya Shirou in front of him was still "justice".

"Reason? I just want to do my best to lend a helping hand to this city and this world."
