"The so-called Emiya Sakura, no, for you, the name Emiya Shirou is easier to understand, right?" With a faint sigh, the bitter smile contained infinite suffering, Archer shook his head, and then continued, "The so-called Emiya Shirou is not like you, or should I say that he is more unbearable than you, he is just a half-mortal with ideals!"

“!!!!!”

Like a roar, the heartfelt scream, combined with the situation of the two Archer at this moment, brought out boundless pain.

Mortal?

Not to mention Emiya Shirou, even if it's Archer, the strength of both of them has already reached the super-first-class level. There is no doubt that either one of them has the strength to challenge the world's strongest forces, such as the magician, and even the Templar burial mechanism. However, with such strength, they were just mortals in the beginning?

How much blood and sweat does a mortal have to pay to reach the current state of the two of them?

Archer clearly doesn't look like a lie. But if what she said is true, then what kind of disaster did she and Emiya Shirou suffer to lead them to today's achievements?

Listening to Archer's narration full of pain, and thinking of the strength and composure that Emiya Shirou had always shown, it became unbelievable.

"It's hard to believe, right?" Seeing that everyone's faces were full of astonishment, even Illya in his arms could not be spared, Archer smiled bitterly again, as if he wanted to alleviate the misery in his heart, and gently patted Illya's little head, "Although we have long since parted ways, I have the same starting point as him." Or you can think of me as being in a parallel world, but he's a woman, well, that guy is also a magician now. And if it's a madman who can outwhelm the strongest of the Greek gods in melee combat. As for me, although I don't have the strength of his **, but at worst, I can be regarded as a corner that can support for a while in close combat**. ”

Where did the tacit understanding between Archer and Emiya Shirou come from? What exactly is the relationship between the two?

A few words lightly explained the biggest doubts in everyone's hearts in the past few days.

Since it is similar to the existence of a parallel world, then there is no deviation in saying that it is the same person

Since it is one, then the behavior, and even the appearance and temperament are so similar, and there is nothing wrong with it

Hearing this shocking secret, everyone couldn't help but nod secretly in their hearts. However, recalling the amazing sword skills that Archer displayed when he fought Hercules alone before Emiya Shirou arrived, and the almost terrifying sharpness and decisiveness, and thinking of Archer's current evaluation of himself, everyone's hearts suddenly felt disapproving. A strong man like you, Cheng Dù, is also called "a character who can support a while in close combat"?

It's a pity that Archer, who has the same experience as Emiya Shirou in the first half of his life, is so sharp-eyed and thoughtful? With just a roll of his eyes, he noticed the strangeness on everyone's faces and guessed what they were thinking. But considering that it has nothing to do with the theme, I don't have any intention of breaking it. Archer sighed lightly and continued, "Magical talent, melee ability, and combat experience once upon a time were not possessed by Emiya Shirou. Simply a young man who learned some fur magic from his deceased father. However, such a person was drawn into the Holy Grail War without preparation!"

“!!!!!”

Hearing Archer's words, they put themselves in their shoes, but everyone gasped.

As one of the participants in the Holy Grail War, there is no one who does not know how dangerous it is.

Even Rin Tosaka, who has become a magic envoy, doesn't have the chance to fight the Heroic Spirit enough to die, as many as he wants!

If an ordinary person is really involved in such a dangerous place, then how can he have any other end than death? Thinking of this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Archer.

"Hehe, the young people of Form 2 will not be sublimated into heroic spirits. Of course the guy and I weren't dead. Otherwise, you wouldn't see us now. As if laughing at his past self, Archer looked up to the sky and laughed, but the laughter was very desolate, "Although, as a result, the price I paid was far greater than my own life." ”

After a pause, Archer turned his head to look at Rin Tosaka, "Rin, I ask you." Under what circumstances do you think it would take for a rookie who doesn't even know the basics of magic to survive an environment like the Holy Grail War?"

"What kind of situation do you say" was suddenly asked by name, Rin Tosaka pondered for a moment, and then replied, "If it is in a normal situation, of course, it is to hide aside, preserve strength, and then wait for an opportunity to ambush by any means, but judging from Shirou's character, the possibility that he will do so is infinitely close to zero." As for the rest of the way, you can meet a strong Heroic Spirit and form an alliance with a powerful teammate you can trust? Judging from Shirou's mind, as long as there are these two points, there will probably be no problem?"

"That's pretty much right. There is only one place where I need to correct you. ”

Still with that smile that seemed to cry, recalling the past, the sadness on his face added a little more. Archer gestured to Saber next to him. Then he pointed to Rin Tosaka in front of him, "Yochi." It was under the protection of these two that I was lucky enough to survive the disaster-like danger by myself. ”

“!!!!!!”

deliberately emphasized that he survived alone, and the meaning was naturally self-evident. Ruling out the possibility of sacrificing others, there is only one reason why Archer survived, and that is that Rin Tosaka and Saber sacrificed their lives to save her, in exchange for her glimmer of life.

It's just that the death of a friend is exchanged for his own livelihood, how much torture is it for a person whose conscience is still there?

The person who saves people is dead, but the saved person is also dead!

Almost every day of life, I endure endless suffering.

Every time I close my eyes at night, I think of fragments of the past. When I woke up from the dream, two lines of tears had already slid down my cheeks, wetting the pillow that I was clinging to.

It is unacceptable to hear of his future death, but it is even more painful to think that the cherished person has repented for this life, and that scar continues to this day!

Saber was fine to say because she had already learned the whole story, but as for Rin Tosaka, to be honest, Rao had always been known for her calmness and wisdom, and she was still stunned when she first heard that she should have died to save Shirou Miya. However, until this moment, the horror of his own death has long faded, and all that fills his heart is endless pity.

Now, she finally understood

Why, when he was so happy, Emiya Shirou always inadvertently showed such sad eyes.

Under the smile that is always helpless, it is carrying such a heavy past, if it were an ordinary person, it must have gone crazy. In the end, how has Emiya Shirou survived all these years?

"So the reason why the senior broke into my grandfather's house and brought me out"

"That's because he already knows what that old worm has done to you."

"So that's why that guy broke the barrier between me and Sakura so sharply"

"That's because you've already beaten him in front of him."

"But that's unreasonable!" Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Rin Tosaka said in a loud voice, "If that guy already knew what Sakura's treatment was in the Maki family, why didn't he go in the first place!!"

"I say, Rin. Just because you can fight doesn't mean you can treat trauma, right? As my deed owner, do you think I have some supreme magic at all?" With a wry smile, Archer put down Illya in his arms, then walked over to Rin Tosaka and half-crouched down, putting his finger on her chest, "That guy didn't become a magician on the first day, did he?" The so-called Valhalla, except for iron, has never been a person who is good at fine magic operations. The brain worm of the imaginative inkstone, but it is hidden in Sakura's heart, and a slight accident can be fatal, if you are not 100% sure, even if you are in the situation, you will not take this unnecessary risk, right? Am I right?"

"Hmm"

"It's not unclear that you know that the person who is most important to you is suffering, but you still have to force the urge to act with reason and force yourself to turn a blind eye, right?" Turning his back and slowly standing up, Archer finally smiled back slightly, "That's actually more uncomfortable for him than killing him." ”
