XLV. - Trust in each other
Emiya Shirou's tone is very kind, but the smile that only shows after putting on a fighting posture, will anyone really associate it with kindness in the true sense of the word in this world?
Not to mention, there was obviously no trace of a smile in Emiya's eyes. This so-called smile, openly, is actually to warn the conqueror and others not to interfere, which even fools understand, and in fact it is no different from saluting first and then soldiering.
In response to Emiya Shirou's semi-threatening smile, Iskander, who is the king, laughed out loud and took the lead in expressing his attitude, "Huh? Little girl! If this king heard me correctly, you want to deal with this creature in front of you, whose body is ten times larger than all of you combined, with that Heroic Spirit Girl over there? I don't know why you're so confident, but I'd advise you not to be reckless."
Then, immediately following Iskandar's provocative speech, Dilumudo, who had come back to his senses, also gently joined in and said, "This lady, although I do not agree with his attitude, but the conquering king does have a point. The creatures in front of us, no matter how you look at it, are not something that can be resisted by one person, and it is best for us to join forces. We'll take care of it here! Hurry up and take refuge in a safe place!"
"Isn't it true that the negotiation is not valid? Well, to be expected. "First the counterattack of the domineering king, and then the construction of the gentle knight, however, the attitude of both is very obvious, that is, they do not think that this matter can be handed over to Emiya Shirou and Joan of Arc to deal with. Unfortunately, even Emiya Shirou himself had the same thoughts.
What are you kidding, this otherworldly creature is a creature that has only been successfully summoned by the Heroic Spirit as a guide! If you really want to talk about the dangerous Cheng dΓΉ, maybe it's not much better than Rider Medusa's real body!
Is it really okay to let Joan of Arc deal with such a creature alone?!! What if she gets hurt in any way?!! What a stupid question!! Compared to you, I want to ask this! Bastard!!!
In this way, I tried my best to suppress the desire to vomit in my heart. Emiya Shirou's fingers hooked slightly, and a wisp of breeze had wrapped around Joan of Arc's feet. At the same time, Emiya Shirou said unflinchingly to the two of Iskandar and the shadow in the corner, "But, what a pity. From my current standpoint, I can't agree with you. β
Even though he desperately wanted to turn against each other and side with Iskandar and the others to persuade Joan of Arc to let them intervene including himself, the sane Guardian Miyashirou knew that this was not feasible.
Just as he will have his pride, Joan of Arc will have his own dignity.
If it's a mascot like Illya who has no combat power at all except for selling cuteness, then Emiya Shirou can also say that the child will come to the battlefield when he grows up and then drive her back, but when the object is Joan of Arc with elite-level heroic spirit strength, then he can't and can't treat the other party like a vase anymore.
No, in fact, it's not just Joan of Arc, but even the two ceremonies. If he could, Emiya Shirou wanted to keep them in danger for the rest of his life. But when the other party has already achieved the results of his hard work, and has grown from only a little stronger than ordinary people to the level of a heroic spirit, what can he say?
Anyone who returns to this point in time can freely launch his own spell to retrieve his true body, and there will be no limit to the number of times, but he is the only one who needs to go through the spells in the hands of the girls to return to his current peak state, even the blind man knows what must have been passive!
The easiest thing to guess is that Saber and the others have made a deal with the stupid Lori in private.,For example, how to limit him to a useless cute thing as much as possible, and then they will control it or something.γ
Since returning to this era, Emiya Shirou has always turned a blind eye to this obviously problematic setting, because he neither wants to insult the other party's efforts nor trample on their self-esteem, and in the end he can only treat it as if he can't see it and leave it to someone else.
It is impossible for a protector to protect everyone for a lifetime, since the other party has achieved results, or has a strength that cannot be underestimated from the beginning, then the person who naturally protects others must also learn to let go Unless the other party's life is really in danger, as long as it is not at the last moment, sometimes it must not interfere.
It is for this reason that Emiya Shirou would stand here to defend Joan of Arc from conquering the king and others.
Now, although Emiya Shirou can't directly give Joan of Arc the blessing of avoiding the water because it is not the water, by covering the opponent's feet with the wind, he can also create a semi-floating state that allows her to stand on the water, in other words, the bridge for the war has been built. The only thing that needs to be ensured now is that the King of Conquest and the others will not get in the way.
"Since the negotiation is not valid, let's switch back to the most primitive method." Through just one eye contact, Emiya Shirou and Joan of Arc's thoughts have been connected. When Joan of Arc jumped into the water and rushed towards the deep-sea monster, Emiya Shirou also pulled out the Tiancong Cloud Sword at the same time, and stopped in front of the Conquest King and the others, "From now on, this is my line of defense." This road is not working! Everyone, please come back. β
"Hey, it's really fake" Although you can vaguely feel from Emiya Shirou's body that the other party's strength should also be a bottomless type, but he was far from thinking that the other party would actually want to intercept the way of two heroic spirits with the power of one person, and such persistence is really close to arrogance! Iskandar looked at the slender and weak woman in front of him in amazement. "Little girl, are you planning to harden our two heroic spirits?" Isn't that funny?"
"The King of Conquest is right, now is not the time to joke!" Picking up Iskandar's words, Dilumudo raised his spear and pointed at the monster on the sea and said, "If you leave such a large monster alone, I don't know how many civilians will be involved in danger, and now you can't help but be rash!"
"Willful? Really, it's not like I want to do it myself" As if he wanted to spit out all the helplessness in his heart, Emiya Shirou sighed softly. In the next moment, the eyes that were already not smiling suddenly became sharp, "Stand here and do nothing." Or knock me down, go over here and help that girl, choose!"
"So, it seems that there is no room for compromise?" Also pulling out the sword at his waist, Iskandar grabbed Webb behind him like a doll and threw it aside, and then smiled at Emiya Shirou, "Girl, I like you!" Just human beings can still have such ambition, let's report it!"
"The deed owner of the girl in front of Shirou Emiya. Declare, I'm a man, huh?"
