Fifty-three - Interlude - Departure
"Then, the arrangement of the spell is ready" carved the final stroke for the magic array on the ground, Emiya Shirou gently wiped the sweat.
After listening to Zhu Yue's advice, more than dozens of gems have been projected every day since he woke up, and at the cost of giving up lethality, the magic power storage of each gem has been raised to the limit. Pour nearly half of your mana into the gem and store it, wait for the next day's mana to recover, and then repeat the process again.
Research Spells, Projection Gems, Store Mana, Research Spells, Projection Gems, Store Mana.
Unlike the leisurely life before, when it comes to a pinch, I don't even eat, and I really work 24 hours a day, focusing all my energy on business.
Except for the day when he went to the monastery to look for Merian Solomon, he had been repeating this monotonous life for more than two months, and on this day, the study of the technique and the storage of magic power had been basically completed.
Taking advantage of the small gap in the day to rest for a while, as soon as little Karen fell asleep, Emiya Shirou rushed here non-stop to arrange the magic array for traveling through time and the barrier for blocking.
"There's no time left for testing. Next, I will directly activate the method of time, considering that it may affect you when activating the magic array, Sister Joan of Arc, Sister Orange, can you go back first?"
"Can't you take us with you?"
After a pause, Joan of Arc looked at Emiya Shirou with a hopeful gaze, and Aozaki Orange next to her had a similar meaning in her eyes.
Although Emiya Shirou's strength is useless, there is no doubt that he is the best of the best, and if there is no restriction on the method of combat, there is even the possibility of defeating Joan of Arc. However, for some reason, either he was limited by some conditions and couldn't play his best, or he just met a handful of people who were stronger than him.
Wounds in battle are commonplace, and near-death is not much less than the number of battles.
Because of this, Joan of Arc wants to help the other party even more.
In terms of identity, he is the heroic spirit and friend of Emiya Shirou, and it is natural to help him. In terms of strength, if he fights head-on, he is even stronger than Emiya Shirou, and he has the capital to help him.
However, it turned out that he couldn't even help a little bit. watched Emiya Shirou fight with a strong enemy with white eyes, and afterwards he could only look at his injuries and regret in his heart.
Enough is enough
Why, I can't help each other all the time
A sense of powerlessness filled her chest, and even Joan of Arc herself began to question herself.
Is it really that useless?
"Well, because the time to travel is thousands of years long, in fact, I am not sure whether the total amount of magic storage of gems is enough, at best, it is only theoretically feasible, so letting a person go back is already the limit." Nodding helplessly, Emiya Shirou sighed softly in his heart.
The third life is a human being, and in terms of mental age, Emiya Shirou is even older than Joan of Arc, and even if it is just a small movement, he can guess the meaning behind it. In addition, he had had a similar experience, so why didn't he understand what Joan of Arc was thinking?
It's just that he has no way to let Joan of Arc and Aozaki Orange go together, and he actually doesn't want the other party to go together.
In addition to the above objective considerations, there is another thing that Emiya Shirou did not say, and that is the dangerousness of the action.
Originally, it would have been dangerous enough to return to that kind of large-scale battlefield. In addition, as Shier had warned to Emiya Shirou before, Zhu Yue had already fallen into a state of madness during her final battle with the Templar Church, True Ancestor, Magician Guild, and Jewel Wong. Even with the mark given by the other party, Emiya Shirou didn't dare to guarantee that the other party would kill him on a whim, let alone Joan of Arc without any mark.
It's not a rational consideration of something complicated, but more simple, out of his own emotions, Emiya Shirou doesn't want Joan of Arc and Aozaki Orange to go on an adventure together.
"Is that so?" A look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and Joan of Arc's voice deepened.
"But I also have something very important to ask of you, Sister Joan of Arc." As soon as the conversation changed, Emiya Shirou attracted the gaze of Joan of Arc and Aozaki Orange back, "Karen, that child, because I don't have enough time to heal her relationship, can only make a necklace similar to an amulet to suppress her abnormality, can I ask you to take care of her before I come back?"
"I understand that in the name of the Heroic Spirit, I will never let Karen Aldesia hurt in the slightest until you return. But "Hiding the disappointment from his face, Joan of Arc looked at Emiya Shirou with a firm gaze, "On the other hand, I will also be here to wait for Shirou to come back." I can't see you come back for a day, and I will never leave this place for half a step. ”
"Well, I've lived in the city for so long, and there's nothing wrong with experiencing the wild life once in a while. Anyway, it's not expensive, so I'll go back and buy one or two camps. There was no direct statement, but he echoed Joan of Arc's statement in a tactful way, and with the same resoluteness as the former, Aozaki Orange's eyes did not leave a trace of room for Emiya Shirou.
"Even if this is a dense forest, you will still be caught illegally occupying public places?"
"Under the tracking blockade, even tourists won't come. Well, rest assured! Even if it's discovered, I'll buy the range here from your wallet. ”
"Was my wallet decided so quickly?" From the eyes and tone of the two of them, it was understood that it was impossible for them to back down, and Emiya Shirou had to smile helplessly, "I understand, I'll come back as much as I can, and I actually want three girls to sleep in the forest in order to wait for me, if you let Sister Fuji know, she will definitely scold me."
Complaining in a tone that he could barely hear, Emiya Shirou walked into the center of the magic array and waved his hand without looking back.
"So, I'm off."
"Good luck (good luck)."
The concise answer ended in an instant, and Emiya Shirou crouched down and pressed his hand to the center of the magic array. Pale blue light flashed in his hand, extending along the lines of the magic array, and in the next moment, the gems placed on the magic array emitted dazzling colorful light, illuminating the originally dark surroundings.
Under the gaze of Joan of Arc and Aozaki Orange, Emiya Shirou's figure slowly disappeared into the light
