The agreement I made when I was a child will gradually be forgotten as I grow up, and there are few people who still believe in the agreement when I grow up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, if we can continue to believe without doubt, that wish will surely come true.

-- Clinton E. Churchill.

Shirou walked out of the living room, and I don't know when it started, but the snow began to fall outside, and the snow falling from the dark night sky was unimaginably another form of ice, and the soft snowflakes fell in the wind and danced, making people feel like feathers.

The weather forecast on TV says that extremely low temperatures will start today, and the heaviest snow cover in nearly a decade will occur. Although snow is not uncommon in this area, it has to be said that the timing is really a bit of a coincidence.

So, what's next? As for Shirou, he didn't think that the situation would form a six-on-one siege, and Rider seemed to have other plans for him, while Ruler was neutral, and he didn't know what her attitude would be to this kind of proposal.

However, if she was also a saint with a noble personality, she would not turn a blind eye to this situation. Did Caster already think of this when she used that strange Phantasm to wreak havoc? It is not unusual for it to use kindness.

[Ahhh......h It's snowing.,First Karen sauce.,Then Sakura-chan.,Then it's the childhood sweetheart's Rin.、Illya.,It's worthy of the season of white learning.,The expected plot.。 But if Shirou-kun wants to open up the harem route with such a strategy, the other Shirou really doesn't know where he is higher than you! Sluggish people like you, most people go up to a meal of 'gay open my trouser chain', if you only flirt like this and don't push the light to increase your goodwill and not snap, but you will be stabbed at Christmas! 】

For some reason, Caster sighed over there.

[People think you, you should be a ghost animal of the East Wood bulldozer!] Knock them all down! Just like you "inserted" someone just now, use your "black key" to "insert" the two of them! Of course, before you do this, you need to increase your opinion and create a situation where you urgently need to replenish your demons, and then you can enter the CG collection mode right away. There's no need to learn anything at all! Pushing it directly is the king! 】

"Looks like you're having a good time, Caster, but this level of ridicule will be fine."

Listening to Caster's words, Shirou sighed helplessly.

[Ridicule? What are you talking about, Shirou? Forget it, it's understandable that you don't understand the favor of others, after all, you are an unconscious guy. What about these two human women...... For example, it's the halo-like shroud of the protagonist. No matter how many actors there are, most of them are just supporting roles with bento, even if they change the mode in the parallel world, the chances of these two people surviving are very high, if anyone can win, it is most likely to be Illya and Rin, especially Rin! Shirou, you still have to work hard, otherwise the winning master will be Rin! People are telling the truth about this, from the bottom of their hearts. It's not that Shirou-kun is a magician or anything, but she really has a desire to win. Oops, if Rin-chan and Illya-chan had asked for someone to join the gang instead of that Julian, maybe they would have been willing. 】

“……”

Shirou had thought it was a pointless pastime from Caster, but now it seemed that Caster had other intentions, and besides, she wasn't a lie about Rin and Illya.

obviously has an unusually deprecating attitude towards the strongest party now, Einzberen, but he values the two of them so much...... What the hell does Caster hold that Shirou doesn't know.

[Of course, if all competitors can be included in the harem, then there will be no opponents, right? Or is it really girls like Karen and Sakura? This kind of super high-end fun that turns the bus into a private car is also very recognized. 】

Caster was talking pleasantly in a somewhat comical tone, and Shirou lowered his head, still thinking about how to end the topic quickly. Caster paused again and giggled, as another voice pierced through the cold wind and sounded behind Shirou.

"Shirou."

The moonlight that penetrated the snowflakes changed the shadows and reflected Illya's expression.

Slender shoulders, a broadly exposed neck and a beautiful collarbone line beneath it, eyes, nose, and her figure-like face, lips, and long hair, white with a sweet scent that was neither perfume nor shampoo, like an elf.

"Yes...... Would I like to ask you some more questions? ”

Illya said with a slight tilt of her head. The white clothes seemed to be blurred in the wind and snow of the night.

“…… Of course. ”

"Shirou, you...... Ever killed someone? ”

Illya's voice was soft, but quite the opposite, there was a slight tremor at the end of her voice, and Shirou noticed the subtle difference.

"If it's about taking someone's life, it's 'YES.'"

Shirou's tone didn't change in the slightest, but Illya felt the air change. The moonlight was obscured by the wind and snow, and she felt that the darkness had become deeper.

"Is it because of your work, which is the command of the church?"

"That's right, but it's impossible to just think of yourself as a murder weapon and deny your guilt, but none of us will think it's wrong." Shirou replied without thinking too much, "In a sense, the history of mankind is a history of killing, and in order to be able to hunt a "two-legged beast" with the same appearance as himself, humans have spent countless hours and wisdom researching the technology of "killing". Whether it's me, Saber and Archer, it's all bloody, and the Heroic Spirits are no different from humans, and most of the Heroic Spirits, their feats are often based on killing. ”

Shirou sensed Illya's reason for asking this question, and he turned to look at Illya and asked.

"Are you scared?"

“……”

"Of course, I told you before, the Holy Grail War is a war to repel the Servants. But now things have changed, and the battle between us and Einzberen, where we bet on each other's beliefs, is not the kind of person who obediently says, "Oh, loses, and then obediently retreats." ”

Shirou, who had just met Julian, could assert that Julian had come to Fuyuki with a firm belief.

"If someone dies in front of you, it will make you feel bad, because you have a normal mind. However, normal people should not have stepped into the battlefield in the first place. ”

Unlike Shirou and Rin, she shouldn't have been involved in this war.

"You can just give up, no one will blame you for it, and I'll help you get out of here. Next, it's not as simple as the battle of the Immortals, depending on the situation, or who we will kill. Rin also understands this, although she is a little naïve, but she will never show mercy when it is time to do it. ”

“…… I don't know. ”

I don't know, it was an unexpected answer after silence.

There was a tingling sensation in her cheeks exposed to the air, and Illya exhaled softly.

"Shirou just said that Rin has a clear goal, and he doesn't have it, right?"

"Hmm."

"Actually, I'm the same, and I don't know what to do."

Illya smiled helplessly, and while thinking, she began to fiddle with her earlobes with her hands, her white fingertips, sometimes bending and sometimes pulling the soft earlobes.

This action makes Shirou feel inexplicably déjà vu.,A long time ago,It seems that there was a girl who liked to make this action-

"I used to want to be a righteous partner, the kind of funny childhood dream that I thought about when I watched special effects."

She remembered the Masked Rider show she had watched in the past, and seemed to look away with some embarrassment.

"But now I know I can't do it. I'd love to help Saber and I'd like to help you, but if I want to ......"

As a child, Illya had only the impression of this work that the main character, Goyo, defeated an evil enemy. But in retrospect, the evil legion that aimed to dominate the earth was actually made by humans. Whether it is the final boss Zero or other enemies killed by Goyo, there must be a desire for happiness in their hearts.

That's right, including Darius and Erica she had seen. Or, as Kiritsugu said, there is no such thing as a world where anyone can be happy.
