One hundred and thirty-nine - the present that spans three lives
"I said"
From the moment he talked about Emiya Shirou's memories as a heroic spirit, Saber's face seemed to be covered with a cloud, and he didn't say a word again. Between the two, there was a silence.
"I probably know what you're seeing, but you don't have to put on that kind of expression."
Seeing Saber's face with such an expression, his heart was also uncomfortable for a while, and after sighing softly, Emiya Shirou unilaterally provoked the topic again, trying to pull Saber back to reality.
"Those things are long gone. It's been ten years, and I've forgotten about the events of that day, and, more importantly, isn't it good to live here now? Anyway, it's over, so wouldn't it be nice to let it be history? Since we live in the present, the important thing is to look to the future!"
From the time I put down the dishes and chopsticks, it has been more than 20 minutes now
Before I knew it, not only did all the dishes get cold, but even the topic deviated more than 180 degrees from the direction it had started with.
Honestly, in the current situation, Saber must have forgotten the original topic. As long as Emiya Shirou casually said a few words of nostalgia, the interrogation meeting could be declared over immediately, and the two of them could immediately put their minds back to eating, and then dismiss the meeting as if nothing had happened, but Emiya Shirou could not do this.
Saber grieves for his memory, reflecting that Emiya Shirou is no longer a level of someone on the side of the road in her mind. The sentimentality that has not gone for a long time comes from the deeper the relationship of concern for the other person, the stronger the feeling.
For Emiya Shirou, if he were to take advantage of other people's concern for him to get away with the other party, or risk burning the fire back to himself to extricate the other party, he would even rather burn the fire back to himself!
"The future refers to the Holy Grail War?"
Sure enough, after hearing Emiya Shirou's talk, Saber couldn't help but indulge in sentimentality again.
Shocked by his distraction, his white jade-like cheeks flashed red, and in the next moment, Saber's gas state had returned to his usual appearance, and the expression on his face had returned to calm.
"How is that possible? Now that you have read my memory, you must also know that the Holy Grail has long been polluted, and what is stored here is only a container for all the evils of this world. I'm not interested in that kind of thing. ”
"So since the Holy Grail is just a useless thing to you, what exactly are you participating in the Holy Grail War for?"
The emerald green pupils looked directly into Emiya Shirou's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts
Saber had known about the contamination of the Holy Grail as early as the third night of the memory sharing.
The unwillingness to be concealed by Emiya Shirou and the loss of not being able to go back to the past to save the country once filled her heart, but it was soon covered up by the shock brought by the memories of Emiya Shirou's "hero".
At this moment, the old things are brought up again, but the unwillingness and loss have faded like clear water. At the moment, all Saber wanted to know was Emiya's answer.
"Of course, in order to completely remove this cancer from the world." The clear eyes reflect that the words are from the heart. Without the slightest reluctance on his face, Emiya Shirou was not afraid to bear Saber's gaze, "The reason why the Holy Grail of Karma was created is because of the Einzberen of the Imperial Three Families. The reason why the Holy Grail was contaminated was also due to the manifestation of Einzbergeren's adventure to summon the evil of this world during the Third Holy Grail War. More than 10 years ago, my adoptive father joined Einzbelen, in other words, I am technically part of the Einzberen family. The ancestors left the trouble behind, and as the descendants, it was their duty to remove the scourge before it spread. ”
"Even if you don't have to?" Without thinking, Saber asked.
"If I could leave this scourge alone, open one eye to it and close one eye, it wouldn't be me." Emiya Shirou shook his head and smiled bitterly, "In terms of character, I can't just leave this scourge alone. It's one thing for the Holy Grail to be tainted, but it still has the ability to make wishes. Rather than let the Holy Grail fall into the wrong hands and cause a greater scourge, it is better for me to solve it. What's more, I had already promised others to get rid of this thing, and now I thought it was a good thing to push the boat. ”
"Shirou doesn't believe what you say, but I want to give you one more piece of advice here" After hearing Emiya's answer, Saber stared at him without saying a word, as if trying to discern whether what he said was sincere. After a while, with a sigh, the momentum on Saber's body dissipated invisibly, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Even if your strength has become extraordinary, if you always help others unconditionally like this, one day you will hit a wall." ”
"Don't worry. A generation of heroes can only do the work of a generation. Once I've dealt with the cancer of the Holy Grail War, I've stopped washing my hands. After that, at best, it will just drive away a few animals from afar" Stretching out his fingers, he carefully calculated what he was going to do next, and he didn't forget to add a sentence in Juweigong Shirou, "Well, probably." ”
Looking at Shirou Emiya, who had no sincerity on his face in front of him, Saber sighed quietly in his heart.
Obviously, this guy won't change his principles even if he is thundered.
I have to say that even though her personality is 108,000 miles worse on the surface, the more she gets along, the more she finds that Emiya Shirou is really like her.
For example, if she recognizes something, then she will carry it out with the determination not to look back. In the same way, as long as Emiya Shirou has established a principle, then he will hold on to it for the rest of his life and perseverance.
To put it nicely, it's not easy to change the decision, and if it's hard to say, it's stubborn
P.S.1: Well, because I went out once today, it might be a little difficult to get four, so I'll try as much as I can, if it doesn't work, it's better to change to two days.
