"Memories of being a Heroic Spirit?"

The mouth slowly recounted Emiya Shirou's words once, and the image of crimson purgatory appeared in Saber's mind again, and unconsciously, her eyes appeared blurred for a while.

Through the sharing of memories, after witnessing her own death in the Holy Grail War, she was also able to see the grief-stricken Emiya Shirou vow to become a hero and fight for it all her life, and it was the fourth day since she shared her memories.

However, even though it is the experience of Shirou Emiya who became a hero, it can by no means be a glorious page. Rather, it was the beginning of his nightmare as a teenager who aspired to be a hero of justice.

If I had to describe it, it would be a picture that I would not have thought of as purgatory.

After a long time after the end of the Holy Grail War, urbanization around the world has doubled due to the development of technology. Behind the spread of civilization and comfortable modern life is the unprecedented rate of consumption of the earth's resources.

Although renewable energy can be created from scratch, the energy produced cannot be compared with non-renewable energy sources such as oil and natural gas in the past. In the face of the dilemma of dwindling resources, although the heads of state of the world have convened many international conferences with the intention of finding a peaceful solution to the difficulties, because each country has its own inherent interests, many meetings have ended in fruitless discussions.

With resources increasingly limited and meetings unable to reach consensus, it is clear that there is no way out of the means of peace.

So, in the end, people return to the most primitive solution - since there is only one piece of bread, and the part in our hands is not enough to satisfy the hunger, and their piece is enough to feed them for a certain period of time, of course, they are asked to "borrow".

In this case, it began as a commercial plunder, then gradually evolved into a mutual threat at an international conference, and finally, unstoppably, wars were launched between countries, and the whole world was plunged into chaos.

Faced with this chaotic situation, Emiya Shirou at that time undoubtedly stepped forward to save the situation.

However, in the chaos of this international melee, even if there are ideals, what earth-shattering thing can a magician who lacks talent or experience, or an ordinary magician who is no longer ordinary, do?

In the gap between ideal and reality, I struggled again and again, but none of them ended in failure

Even if it is the current Emiya Shirou, he may not be able to bear the feeling of powerlessness, and after failing again and again, guilt, self-blame and powerlessness almost completely destroyed the will of Emiya Shirou at that time.

Then, in the end, Saber saw the teenager make the same decision as her.

At the cost of eternity, he gave up his body and soul to make a pact with the world and gained the power to evoke miracles.

With the help of the world, the magician of the year field, who was only a little stronger than ordinary people in the past, instantly became a strong man who could defeat a hundred. With the power of miracles and the goal of protecting the victims of war, Emiya Shirou crosses one battlefield after another.

Undefeated in a hundred battles, his fame spread all over the world, and the hero of ironmaking was born.

However, he didn't know at the time that it was also when his death knell was sounded.

How can a person not be grateful to him, even if he is an unknown person, who has been saved by the same person again and again in the fear of death?

Among ordinary people, especially among the poor, the reputation of the heroes of ironmaking can be described as resounding.

It's a pity that while becoming famous, Emiya Shirou also angered a group of people and angered those in power who really held the bull's ear in the world.

Merely defeating an invading enemy on the battlefield without thinking about it or being unable to do anything to address the root cause will only delay the destruction of miè in the end

If the world's resources are inexhaustible, who would want to risk war at the expense of a secure life?

Starting a war, it was already forced to be helpless at this moment, Emiya Shirou always stood on the opposite side of the one who started the war, in the name of protection, the moral superiority of the enemy who retreated, and repeatedly hit the people in power in terms of reputation and actual interests, so how can they tolerate this hero?

Finally, in a deliberate war, at the behest of some people in power, Emiya Shirou's comrades-in-arms suddenly turned against each other on the battlefield. Even if you are a hero, you will not be spared if you are caught between the inside and the outside without psychological preparation. In this way, Emiya Shirou fell into the hands of those in power.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, taking advantage of the opposition of the general public has not yet come, the authorities quickly sent Emiya Shirou to the execution table for execution.

This is the end of the life of the hero of ironmaking.

He loves mankind and dedicates himself to saving mankind, but is finally betrayed by mankind and ushers in his own end, even so, he does not resent mankind because of this.

Even if he suffered misfortune and betrayal, he still died with a smile at the last moment of his life, which is the true ending of Emiya Shirou as a hero of justice.

Saber was undoubtedly deeply shocked when she saw this memory.

In the former Emiya Shirou, she saw her own shadow.

If at the beginning she couldn't understand why Emiya Shirou summoned her among the many Heroic Spirits and classified this as accidental, then after seeing this memory, she finally understood that as long as Emiya Shirou was the deed owner, then it was an inevitable fact that she would be summoned.

Give unconditionally to others

Unconditionally dedicate a qiē to others

From someone else's point of view, there is no doubt that she and he are crazy.

In exchange for extreme goodness, there is no matching ending, but they will not regret it.

Just as Saber didn't regret that he defended his homeland, so Shirou Emiya didn't regret saving people. At this point, how similar are the two?

But having said that, if it was just a similarity, it would have made Saber feel emotional, and made her realize once again how good she and Emiya Shirou were in good shape, but what really shocked her was Emiya Shirou's state of mind when he faced the end.

To be honest, although the two of them have similar actions and philosophies, she is much happier than Emiya Shirou.

Although it is the same that neither of them succeeded in realizing their ideals in the end, the difference is that at least from the beginning of his reign to the height of his national power, Saber was able to enjoy the support of the people, the national honor from the battlefield, and the stable life brought by the strength of the country.

However, Emiya Shirou didn't even have these things.

Because he is always on the side of the attack, his position is not stable, and he has no national honor to speak of. Because the world is chaotic and the war is like an inexhaustible fire, he immediately finds himself in another battlefield after crossing one battlefield.

He basically spent the rest of his life fighting, but after dedicating a qiē, he still gained nothing.

Unlike Saber's colorful career, Emiya Shirou's career is only a piece of gray.

But even so, he never regretted his tragic end.

Unlike Saber, who was unwilling to be unable to save his country, Emiya Shirou was content with this ending, happy to face the fact that he had failed, and then accepted his death calmly.

What you hear is not as useful as what you see. At the moment of seeing this scene, in addition to shocking Saber, it also brought her a question.

With the same philosophy, make similar moves, and then usher in a similar ending, but why can Emiya Shirou accept this ending, but she can't face her own failure?

This question planted a seed in her heart

Even if it is not something that can be changed overnight, it is this tiny seed that will unconsciously change Saber in the future, so that she can successfully let go of her past in the near future
