The harmonious scene before the last battle made Tosaka Shirou a little nostalgic for the past.

As if it happened yesterday, Shirou Tosaka still remembers participating in the Holy Grail War when he was still surnamed Emiya.

At that time, it was still like this, he and Rin Tosaka formed an alliance, and the two gathered in the Emiya mansion to discuss countermeasures and plan a battle.

At that time, although it was only a few days, the warm and lively atmosphere was forever engraved in my heart.

Emiya Shirou firmly believes that although the Holy Grail is tainted and must be dismantled, the Holy Grail War is not entirely bad.

Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for the Holy Grail War, I wouldn't know Saber, I wouldn't know Rin Tosaka, and I wouldn't ...... Know yourself.

During that Holy Grail War, the crimson robes of the archer, Shirou of the Valhalla, clearly sounded the alarm for himself. He made himself understand that human beings can't just look at their dreams.

It's absolutely right to live for a dream and live for a dream. However, it is human beings who live their dreams. If you are human, you will be in pain, you will be sad, you will be sad, you will need to be supported.

Shirou Emiya, who went astray, sacrificed himself and saved a part of humanity. Because it was a [miracle] that could not be changed by man, he made a contract with the world and delivered his [posthumous] in exchange for a [miracle].

That is the end of the road for those who are full of dreams.

In the end, Shirou of the Heroic Guard collapsed. He alone carried out his dream to the end, even though he knew it was an abyss, he still jumped down. The greater the hope, the greater the despair, and even, the Heroic Guard Shirou begins to hate himself, hate his once young self, and try to make it all end by erasing himself.

However, this is how it turned out.

Shirou did not defeat Shirou.

The result of that battle was the victory of Shirou, who was full of fighting spirit and still believed in his childish dreams.

That battle changed me.

The result of Shirou of the Heroic Guard Palace sounded the alarm bell for Shirou.

I want to be a partner in justice, I want everyone else to be happy. This is a no-wrong answer.

However, it must be understood that Emiya Shirou himself should also be a part of this dream. He himself had the power to pursue happiness. If only others are happy and oneself is unhappy, the end of this arrogant ending is the completely desperate Heroic Guardian Shirou.

After the Holy Grail War, Shirou Emiya and Rin Tosaka officially began dating, and after graduating, the two flew to the Clock Tower together to explore the Devil's Way. In the end, the two got married, and Emiya Shirou entered the Tosaka family and changed his name to Tosaka Shirou.

If one person can't afford such a huge dream, then let's two people together.

When Emiya Shirou dedicates himself to the happiness of others, then there is also a need for someone to protect this fragile him. And that's Rin's job.

After the Holy Grail War, Emiya Shirou managed to avoid the saddest of his own ends. Let's just say that it's certainly a good thing.

As the Lord of Surut declared, strictly speaking, his theory cannot be said to be [wrong], only that he is too extreme.

After experiencing disasters and suffering, human beings will learn from them and learn to be strong.

The Holy Grail War is brutal, but if you win as the winner, you will grow considerably.

"Shirou...... You...... Am you thinking, should I lose? ”

Saber Artoria, who had been by his side, suddenly said this.

The lights were bright, and her beautiful and heroic face was clearly displayed in front of Shirou, with a serene expression.

"No...... How so, Saber. ”

When she said the central matter, Shirou was a little embarrassed.

He understood how arrogant his servant was, and it would be an insult to her personality to ask her to disobey the way of knighthood and deliberately release water.

Although, he does hope that Tsukahara will win.

He's too old.

No matter how much he grows up, his lifespan is probably more than ten years, and at most more than twenty years. No matter how much you grow, what's the use?

But Tsukahara is different, he still has a lot of youth, and if he can also learn something from this Holy Grail War to make up for his world, then his future is limitless.

Looking at his innocent kindness, Shirou has a feeling that he is looking at his former self as if he is in a lifetime.

Just as Ermelo II, in order to hope for victory, gave Shirou the right to participate in the Holy Grail War. Now, Shirou also has an urge to deliver the victory of the Holy Grail War to a young man for the sake of a better prospect for him.

How could Shirou's mind be hidden from Saber Artoria? The king, who was once criticized as not understanding people's hearts, was shrewd to detect Shirou's mind this time.

"It's okay Shirou, I'm not really Artoria, so even if my reputation is disgraced, it's just me as an unknown person, not a disgraceful knight king. I am a servant born of your thirst, infinitely close to Artoria, but decisively different from her. What do you want me to do? ”

“…… No, Saber, go all out. Seriously, do your best, and fight a good fight. Don't hurt Tsukahara-kun, who is in trouble, on this premise, let's do our best to defeat Archer. ”

Shirou shook his head and said.

Because, if victory is given away, then there is no meaning to grow.

Only those who have experienced the test of a powerful enemy, tried their best, gambled everything, and finally relied on the perfect combination of wisdom and strength to win, will make people grow.

It's like when you play video games, only when you seriously fight monsters and level up, will you realize the moment when all the hard work is worth it when you level up. If you use a gold finger or something, and you reach the full level in one hit, then the level is just a number.

"Sure enough, Shirou, you haven't changed at all."

"You too, Saber. Come on, if you win the Holy Grail War, do you want to meet Tosaka before making a wish? ”

"No, that's a waste of time."

Saber shook his head softly and refused. She didn't want the people of the city to endure even a second of grief.

"Ah, you don't need to really go over, now that science and technology are very developed, if you use high technology...... Ah......h

Shirou just wanted to say that if he used high-tech video communication, he didn't need Saber to come to Japan in person......

Then he thought of the curse in the blood of the Tosaka family.

That's ......

The people of the Tosaka family are incompatible with modern civilization, especially mechanical civilization......

Who can believe that the mobile phone used by Rin Tosaka is still a super old model from decades ago, although she changed the phone about 20 years ago, but it is also a [retro style] chosen, because she is afraid that those new features will not work.

"What if, of course, the phone won't explode, but what if, I click on the wrong new feature, what if I leak my private information?! And, moreover, what if you accidentally dial the wrong number and call someone else? What if the police call you as a scam?! ”

At that time, Rin Tosaka's panic was really cute......

It can only be said that the women of the Tosaka family are completely incompatible with high technology, as if Mina is too, although she can play with mobile phones skillfully, she can't use other high-tech machines proficiently......

If Tosaka was to make a video call, it would probably scare her, right?

"What's wrong, Shirou?"

Halfway through listening to his words, he suddenly froze, Saber asked curiously, Shirou smiled awkwardly, and said, "No, it's nothing, I suddenly want to report peace to Tosaka." ”

Thinking about it this way, it seems like it should be done.

I've been out of touch with Rin Tosaka for so long, no matter how I think about it, I should tell her that I'm safe! As a result, because of the astonishing unfolding of one item after another, the result is ...... I just forgot about it......

Probably, Tosaka will be very angry, right?

"Yes, it's important to report safety. Can't let Tosaka worry, Shirou. ”

Saber gave him a gentle smile.

She is a servant, and every servant does not belong to this world, destined to disappear without a trace. The person who can be by Shirou's side and support him is Rin Tosaka, not Artoria. It can't be this ethereal self.

She understands.

"Ahaha, I, let's go together. If it's an EBNER, you must be prepared for a landline that can make international calls, right? ”

I went to Abner's bedroom and asked, and sure enough, there were. Dial that familiar number and listen to Rin Tosaka's mobile phone ringing over there. It was a song by a male singer who had been retired for a long time. Quzi thought about it for a long time, and Shirou speculated that she probably panicked for a while and forgot how to use her phone.

Finally, with a tick, the communication was connected.

"Hey, whoever."

Rin Tosaka's voice was as familiar as ever. Shirou closed his mouth rather wickedly and handed the phone to Saber, who smiled knowingly, and took it while feeling that Shirou had also changed.

"Hey? Who is it? Could it be that you pressed the wrong key...... Let's just say that high-tech is very troublesome......"

"Rin, long time greetings."

…………

On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence.

"Ala alas alas?!"

After the silence, there was a powerful outburst!

"This, this voice! Could it be, is it Saber?! Wait a minute, isn't it...... Could it be that Shirou he- did he summon you?! Really, you're listening! Shirou! Why haven't you contacted me for so long! Didn't you say that you should contact me as soon as you get there!! ”

Maybe it's because I'm excited to meet my old friend again? Rin Tosaka's voice sounded particularly sharp, and the speed of her speech was very fast, also because of the sudden excitement, the scene of the Winter Wood Holy Grail War resurfaced in front of her, which made her feel a lot of emotion, and suddenly changed from a mature and stable head of the Tosaka family to a female high school student who was easy to make mistakes when she was excited.

There are too many things to say, the two looked at each other and smiled, it seems that today's phone call will be very long.
