Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

"Is it silver-white hair, black tights and pants, and tanned skin?"

Not only Amiya, but even Emiya realized that something was wrong.

Could it be that they had been mistaking the person from the very beginning?

“Oh.”

After hearing what Emiya said, Kirei knew the situation had gone from bad to incomprehensible.

It turns out that the two sides were not on the same channel from the beginning!

"Um...wait a moment! Rosemary! Do you have any photos stored in your terminal?"

Amiya put down the things she was organizing and jogged towards Rosemary.

“…So does this cooperation still count?”

Looking at the commotion here, Angel of Exorcism asked Texas in a low voice.

"Who knows?"

Ignoring his teammates' words, Texas silently picked up the documents scattered on the ground.

Anyway, the matter has been settled, and the information provided by the other party is what Emiya wants. As for whether the person recognizes him or not, it is not that important.

But it's too troublesome to explain to Archangel. She won't do it unless you give her a Pocky.

As if sensing that Texas was very irritated due to the lack of Pocky's energy, Exiah also quieted down.

"Really... Isn't this too hasty?"

Looking at the chaos at the scene, Chen Sir said helplessly.

They had just been out for a while, and the situation inside had gone from somewhat confrontational to one of cooperation.

Now you're saying that even the people were wrong?

It's quite outrageous!

"…Here is a photo of Mr. Wuming. Please hold it carefully. This is something very precious to Rosemary."

After obtaining the photo from Rosemary, Amiya carefully trotted over to Emiya with the terminal in her hand.

"…ah?"

Looking at the man on the terminal with silver-white hair, black clothes, and dark skin, Emiya's brain froze at this moment.

221 Black Stone

Hmm...how should I put it?

The features did match, but the person was not someone he knew.

A bit subtle, perhaps?

"There are a few more combat photos later..."

Looking at Emiya's expression, Amiya knew that the two parties seemed to have really made a mistake in this regard.

But maybe they haven't seen each other for a long time? Maybe looking at a few more photos will reveal something else?

"Let me see…"

After hearing what Amiya said, Emiya did as he was told.

At the same time, the curious Penguin Logistics Foursome and the Guards Threesome also came over to watch.

"Hiss, this gun has a nice shape. This guy has really good taste."

Looking at the photos that followed, as a gun lover, Archangel's focus was naturally on the pair of gun blades in the opponent's hands.

One huge black and one white pistol, with blades on them, so cool, right?

"Shut up."

Texas, who was standing by, immediately covered Archangel's mouth, preventing her from commenting on the gun.

We're obviously discussing other things right now, and you're telling me this guy has good taste in guns?

Can we focus on the important points?

"It does look familiar... Did the other party leave anything behind? Maybe I can find something from it?"

Emiya didn't pay attention to the commotion behind him. As he flipped through a few photos, he felt as if he had seen the other person somewhere before.

It shouldn't be something I saw before traveling through time... After all, that memory is still a little fuzzy.

It seems that at the very beginning, after dreaming a series of scenes, the figure with Archer back to back at the end?

I didn't take it too seriously at first, but now it seems...

Could it be that he bathed in the black mud that guy had been soaking in?

Looking at the familiar-looking black guy, Emiya thought so.

After all, Saber also turned pitch black after bathing in the black mud...

After having this thought, Emiya felt that this possibility made sense.

So now the question is, can he trust this guy?

...There's no need to worry so much. No matter how much you hate that guy, he is still Shirou Emiya after all.

There were many people who had sacrificed so much for the ideal of being a partner of justice, so there was no reason for him not to trust the other party.

After all, the other party can clearly distinguish between official and private affairs and will not set traps in such places.

And the other party may not know that he is here.

However, to be on the safe side, Emiya asked Amiya whether she had any projection products left by that guy, perhaps he could get some useful information from them.

"Um... I still have something left by the other party. Can I have this?"

Seeing Emiya's expression becoming increasingly solemn, Amiya then remembered that she still had the last thing left by Wuming on her body, which she now carried with her like a talisman.

Amiya took out a small cloth bag from the inner pocket of her coat, and then took out a black stone with faint golden cracks on it.

"this is…"

Returning the terminal to Rosemary, Emiya quickly turned his attention to the stone in Amiya's hand.

The moment he saw it again, Emiya felt a strong sense of crisis.

It was as if reminding myself to stay away from this stone.

But...that stone was emitting something that was attracting him to come closer.

Faced with this dilemma, Emiya decided to find out the truth.

After all, it's just a rock, what's the danger?

He stretched out his left hand, and when it was only a few centimeters away from the stone, a trace of black magic power pierced into Emiya's hand like lightning.

Then Emiya felt something connected.

The ground was covered with blood and people were lying on the ground.

It was similar to the nightmare he had in the morning, the only difference was that Emiya could clearly see the person with blood on his hands in the reflection.

The man holding the blood-stained black and white swords... was himself.

He could clearly feel what "he" was thinking at this moment.

The regret for killing innocent people and the disgust for oneself for having done it.

Then it was as if it had sunk into some liquid and continued to sink.

An unknown liquid kept pouring into his mouth and nose, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Even though I opened my eyes, I couldn't see anything.

Fear, Emiya clearly felt that he was afraid.

The man's fragmented memories flowed into Emiya's body along with the liquid and continued to erode him.

He chased after the devilish woman and had to kill those innocent believers in order to force her into a dead end.

In the end, as if for the innocent lives lost, the man fell into the devil's way and the abyss, just to kill the devilish woman.

He had been wrong from the very beginning. The other person was not Archer who was bathed in the black mud of the Holy Grail, but Shirou Emiya, a person who had truly burned himself out for the ideal of being a partner of justice.

Even after death, he did not rest in peace, but became a guardian and the agent of willpower.

Although he gained a lot of combat-related experience from it, Shirou did not feel the slightest joy, only a strong sense of discomfort.

It feels like... something is about to burst through my body.

"Emiya?"

Although it felt like a lifetime had passed over Emiya's side, outside, only a few seconds had passed from the time Emiya touched the black stone.

It's not quite right to say that it touched it, after all, Emiya's hand stopped after being touched by the black lightning emitted by the black stone, and his hand was still several centimeters away from the stone.

Emiya was just stunned.

Just when others were wondering if Emiya was stunned because he was electrocuted.

Amiya, who was standing right in front of Emiya, noticed that something seemed a little strange about the other party's current condition.

At this time, the other party's eyes lost focus, and a large amount of negative emotions were being transmitted from Emiya's body.

"Amiya, get away from Emiya!"

Hearing Amiya's somewhat puzzled voice, Kal'tsit immediately realized that it was the stone left behind after Wuming turned into magic power and dissipated that had an impact on Emiya.

"...!"

After hearing Kal'tsit's words, Amiya immediately took several steps back until Huang caught her.

Only after Amiya moved away did Emiya start to move.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha-”

The uncomfortable feelings in his consciousness were also brought into reality. Emiya clasped his hands tightly on his left chest and kept breathing deeply.

“…Emiya?”

Seeing Emiya's appearance at this time, several people from Penguin Logistics immediately rushed forward to check on Emiya's condition.

"Go find a doctor!"

Seeing that Emiya's condition seemed to be a little strange, Chen Sir spoke loudly and at the same time blocked Rhodes Island and Emiya.

Of course, she did not forget that there were doctors on Rhodes Island's side, but Emiya's current condition was obviously caused by Rhodes Island, so she certainly would not let the other party get close to Emiya.

Unlike the verbal provocation just now from the other party, this time even she herself didn't understand what was happening.

"Mr. Chen, I'm fine. I just saw some bad things. It's not Amiya's fault."

At this time, Emiya's condition was still not very good, but in order to avoid a fight between Chen and Rhodes Island, Emiya still forced himself to explain.

"You don't look like you're okay."

Chen Sir didn't believe what Emiya said. Who would believe a person who was sweating profusely, had a pale face, and a trembling voice when he said that he was fine?

“…I’m really fine.”

Emiya felt that he was really not trusted in this regard. It was the same yesterday. He clearly said that everything was fine, but several people still asked him to go for a thorough check-up.

The feeling of discomfort only lasted for a moment, and Emiya could feel that the holy shroud on his right hand released magical power to suppress the things in his body.

Now he just needs to be given a short period of rest to recover.

"Let's ask the doctor to take a look. Um... Doctor Kelsey? Can I trouble you?"

Wiping Emiya's face with a handkerchief, Sora could clearly feel that the other person's body temperature was a little low at the moment.

Compared to Chen Sir who didn't believe the people in Rhodes Island, Penguin Logistics didn't think so much.

The main thing is to trust the vision of your boss and what Emiya himself says.

Since Emiya said it's not Rhodes Island's problem, then it's not. Worrying about it will only make the situation more complicated.

"Open your eyes."
