Fifty-seven - Close your eyes
"Well, I have to admit that I did despise the Demon Snake when fighting him, and that's why I was forced by the Demon Snake to the point of asking Xiaoxue to come to the rescue. It was my fault. After a long time, from the heat of his face to calming down, Emiya Shirou let out a long sigh.
Although, the Demon Snake, which has eaten many gods in the past, is indeed a very formidable opponent, especially if you engage in close combat with it, it will be a nightmare within a nightmare. However, this does not mean that in terms of strength, the Demon Snake is really enough to overwhelm Emiya Shirou.
Long-range attacks aside, admittedly, it is very unwise to fight with a demon snake with eight heads and eight tails at close range. However, in fact, such a demon snake has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the extremely single means of attack.
The only way to bite is to flick your tail at the enemy. At best, the purple venom is counted, but that's all. In the final analysis, what the Demon Snake really lacks is the means to change the tide of battle with a single blow.
In contrast, Emiya Shirou is different. Although he had to take into account the concubine sisters, who lacked the ability to protect themselves, he could not adopt the strategy of escaping first and then sniping slowly, but even so, he still had many powerful weapons in his hands. Among other things, the King's Treasure and Excalibur (Sword of Victory through the Oath) are good examples.
The reason why he was beaten all over his body and almost lost his life was because Emiya Shirou was not cautious enough in this battle and led him.
After listening to Concubine Gongyue's description at the beginning, he had already rashly judged that the other party had no advantage, and after the other party dived into the pool, he did not immediately notice that the ground under his feet was hollow
The mistakes of these two directly led to the result of Emiya Shirou being caught underwater by the demon snake later.
After that, basically nothing to say. Because of the loss of the opportunity, the situation was one-sided, until Emiya Shirou exhausted all his magic power and used time to stop twice in a row, although he got out of trouble in a short time, but at this time he was doomed.
"I'm really sorry I didn't fully follow your advice." With a smile on his face, under Ai's surprised gaze, Emiya Shirou bowed deeply to her.
Looking back now, in fact, as early as the beginning, the silver-haired royal sister in front of him had already told him how strong the demon snake was.
If Emiya Shirou had fully followed Ai's advice and had been more cautious and cautious in dealing with the battle, maybe he could have avoided being caught underground by the demon snake and completely overwritten the battle situation at that time.
Fortunately, even though he had made such a mistake, his life had not yet been taken by death. As long as you know that you can correct your mistakes, you can avoid the same mistakes in the future.
"What a surprise. Don't you have to argue?" Looking at Shirou Emiya, who was apologizing in front of him with eyes that seemed to be looking at aliens, Ai blinked in surprise.
You must know that admitting negligence may seem easy, but when it comes to implementation, it is a different matter entirely.
In particular, when a person's strength and status are greater, it is simply a great difficulty to ask them to admit difficulties because of their increasingly thickened face. For example, the two brothers of Anun, even who were in the same league as them, Ia, as the creator god, never saw them dare to admit their faults in front of others.
Although Emiya Shirou is not a god, he is also one of the two people that Niang Shanshan trusts the most, and his status is by no means low As for his strength, it is enough to compete with him, not to mention that he is also in charge of time, space and other strange things.
He has status and strength, and it seems that he pays attention to the "man's self-esteem" thing, but even so, Emiya Shirou would apologize so simply, and put all the fault on himself, which Yi Ai never thought.
"To make a mistake is to make a mistake, I despise the fact that the Demon Snake Guide is almost braided, what is there to argue?" In his tone, there was not even a trace of unwillingness, and Emiya Shirou asked Yi Ai suspiciously.
I don't think it's so serious when I laugh, but it's a matter of life and death, and it's fundamentally different in nature.
A mistake is a mistake, and if you can't even learn a lesson, then maybe you won't be so lucky next time.
"Okay. I retract my previous rude words. He stared into Emiya's eyes, as if trying to read what the other party was really thinking. After a while, he finally gave up, Yi Ai sighed softly to Emiya Shirou, and then glanced at Dongfang silently, "Comparing you with those two brothers is simply an insult to your personality."
Although, the one in front of him who doesn't seem to be too self-motivated is also a problem, but the two brothers over there are already overly greedy for power, and they will do whatever it takes, especially the one below, if the prediction is not wrong, they must be already preparing for rebellion, right?
The nobility of the soul is completely incomparable
"Huh? Is it so strict? By the way, who are those two brothers referring to?"
"If I say it's better not to listen, do you want me to sue you?"
"No, forget it in that case. After all, I've just learned a lesson" Shaking his head slightly, Emiya Shirou carried Enkidu's puppet on his shoulder with his right hand, "By the way, just in case, the Heavenly Cow should not have been sent to the human world yet, right?"
"Not yet, not quite. To be precise, based on my eavesdropping through the water, it seems that the Annu guy decided to send that cow to the mortal world today and bring calamity. ”
"Really fake!! If you join forces with Enki, it will only take two days for Jill to kill that cow!"
It just so happened that even if he used the space teleportation and hurried to the road, the time required to go back here would be two days, and this time was still based on the premise that Emiya Shirou's strength was not damaged at all, in other words, even if Emiya Shirou said goodbye to Yi Ai now, it would be impossible for him to rush back before Niang Shirou killed the Heavenly Cow.
But at the same time, as far as Emiya Shirou knows, the death of Enkidu is only after the death of the Heavenly Cow!
"Damn!"
Knowing that there was not much time left, I couldn't help but feel anxious
"Thank you."
I didn't care about being polite with Yi Ai anymore, so I hurriedly bowed to this royal sister, and Emiya Shirou hurriedly wanted to turn around and leave
"I mean, don't you think you'll be able to go back in time with your current injury?"
However, just as Emiya Shirou was just about to take his first step, Ai's slow voice stopped him. Turning his head, he saw that the silver-haired royal sister had stood up at some point, looking at him with a smile.
"No way! Even if you can't catch up, you have to catch up! All in all"
"What if I say I have a way to get you back in time?"
“!!!!”
Interrupting Emiya Shirou with a smile that was visibly anxious, Ai walked slowly in front of him, and then stretched out a snow-white finger to press Emiya Shirou's lips, "What if I say I have a way to get you back in time?"
"I can grant you anything." There was a soft touch on his lips, and Emiya Shirou took a step back quietly. Knowing that he would definitely not be able to catch up, he didn't act coyly, and Emiya Shirou responded to Yiai's question with a decisive look.
"So refreshing?"
Ai shook her head in confusion.
"Intuitively, I believe you don't open your mouth"
"Okay, then, just leave your blood-stained Magatama behind."
After saying that, as if he was sure that Emiya Shirou would hand over the things, Yi Ai stretched out his small, white palm to Emiya Shirou.
"Well, I'll just make another one."
As Fu Ai expected, he instantly weighed the importance of Magatama and Enkidu in his heart, and decisively gave up the former both from his own position and from the position of Niang Shining. Emiya Shirou reached to his waist to untie Magatama's rope and placed it in Ai's hand.
"I did take it." Just the moment he took Magatama, he could already feel a soft power transmitted to his body. Iemer looked at Magatama silently, and then slowly took it into his arms, "So, close your eyes." ”
