Chapter 100: The King Who Doesn't Want to Believe in Himself

As soon as he looked up, Ethan saw Illya sitting there in a bored daze...... and Artoria, who was also sitting on the sidelines and in a daze.

"Yo, why do you look listless?"

Because Ethan had appeared so abruptly and without warning, Artoria had already seen it clear that it was Skaha when she realized that an 'outsider' had appeared.

Because she had seen it before, Artoria didn't immediately switch to a fighting stance, but she still maintained a certain level of vigilance.

"Uh...... These two are ......"

At this moment, Shirou happened to come out with a tray with some fruits and drinks on it, which seemed to be taken out for the two.

He wasn't alarmed when he saw Skaha, the Emiya Shirou of this world didn't really get involved in the Holy Grail War, and although he encountered some magical things, he was still a high school boy with no combat experience and wouldn't be on his toes like a real warrior.

"Why? Don't you know me?"

To everyone's surprise, the first to answer was the child who looked younger than Illya, such a cute child was easy to arouse people's affection, but why was the tone of his voice a little strange?

"Shirou...... This kid ...... It seems to be ......"

As the only servant with combat effectiveness among several people, Artoria was the first to notice Ethan's specialness, and Illya frowned and observed for a while, then asked in an uncertain tone.

"Ba ...... Sa ...... Cards?"

"You're quick to respond, Illya. ”

"Huh?"

Emiya's astonishment rang out almost in no particular order, and Skaha unceremoniously turned around to find that Cú Chulainn was not there.

"Setant...... Isn't Cúchulainn here?"

"Mr. Cú Chulainn...... He said that he had a rare opportunity to live an easy life in this world, and he wanted to experience the lifestyle of ordinary people, so he found a job...... He'll be back after work. ”

According to Emiya Shirou's explanation, because Ethan severed the contract between Cuchulainn and his lord Yanfeng Qili, Kuchulainn did not want to return to Yanfeng Qili, and the Holy Grail War was inexplicably destroyed, so he didn't want to return to Valhalla directly for the time being, so he stayed at Emiya's house and didn't leave.

Fortunately, Cú Chulainn was not the kind of person who came down to eat rice, he ran out to find a job to earn some money, and from time to time he bought something to bring back to pay for food and lodging.

In this regard, Emiya Shirou did not express refusal and dissatisfaction, anyway, he was still accompanied by an Artoria who ate and drank for nothing, and with the particularly rich Illya's sister, Cú Chulainn's stay here was nothing at all.

Except for Sakura Makiri and Fujimura Taiga, who is currently the guardian of Emiya Shirou, they were surprised that there were so many more 'guests' in the Emiya family, but they didn't worry too much about the identities of these people.

It's just that when he learned that Illya was actually the daughter of Emiya Kiritsugu, Fujimura Taiga went crazy for a while, and everything was uneventful.

"So the heroic spirits of this Holy Grail War are all dependent on this world and have not returned?"

Sitting in the living room again, Ethan leaned comfortably on Diana's body—the only benefit of being smaller, to be able to nestle in Diana's arms, and then chew on the orange petals that Skaha occasionally stuffed, and Ethan asked what had happened since he left, as he endured the 'scrutiny' of several people.

"I guess so...... According to what Tosaka-san told me, the few Heroic Soul Servants I have met should not have left. ”

Emiya Shirou counted them, including Ethan, he had seen six of them, and there was only one cavalry Heroic Soul Servant whom he hadn't seen until now, so he didn't know what was going on.

"I was a little surprised that everyone was enjoying the peace. ”

In Emiya Shirou's original understanding, these Heroic Soul Servants were all very powerful heroes, and they were summoned for the purpose of fighting, and if the Holy Grail War could not be fought, they might just leave - but they all liked to enjoy this kind of ordinary and quiet life, and it seemed that they were not the warlike and bloodthirsty existence they thought.

"After all, before they became Heroic Spirits, they were human beings. ”

Ethan looked at Artoria, who was a little embarrassed on the other side.

"And not everybody enjoys it. ”

The one in front of her is definitely not included, without the series of events that happened in the Holy Grail War, Artoria has not untied the knot, she is still chasing that illusory dream, just because the Holy Grail War was so embarrassingly 'eliminated', she is now a little confused, I don't know if this Holy Grail War has really been ended, by the way, to protect Emiya Shirou and Illya, it is considered to have done her duty.

When she's sure there's no danger, she'll ask Emiya Shirou to break her contract and leave here - Ethan has said that the world seems to be slowly returning to its original state, which may mean that the Holy Grail War is still going on, and she wants to wait until it's 'recovered' before leaving, so that maybe there will be a chance to participate in the Holy Grail War.

Emiya Shirou glanced at Artoria next to him, he still couldn't figure out what this female swordsman who didn't look very old was usually thinking, most of the time she sat there quietly, except for a slight change in expression when eating, she looked like a sculpture.

When he learned that Artoria had participated in the last Holy Grail War as Kiritsugu's servant, he wanted to ask her more about Kiritsugu, but every time he mentioned this topic, he noticed that the girl's face had become very ugly, so he stopped mentioning it except for the first two times.

In addition, he was also curious about the identity of the other party, because the true identity of the Heroic Soul Servant he met was no longer a secret - there was even another one who was his future self, and he seemed to be very unhappy with himself?

It's hard to believe, but he's come to terms with this fact, and he's curious about who his servant is.

An unknown hero, a hero from the future, or a familiar legendary existence?

It's a pity that he doesn't know the answer until now.

Listening to Emiya Shirou talk about Cú Chulainn's half-month work, he has already worked three short-term jobs, and he also found a relatively long-term temporary job when the short-term job is not over, and he seems to be very adaptable to the life of this world.

Medea lives with Jongjun, who is working hard to learn swordsmanship with Kojiro Sasaki in addition to work.

Amya, that is, her future self, lives in Rin Tosaka's house, Rin, who was already a classmate with the temperament of a big lady, is now followed by a tall housekeeper-like existence, and the breath of the eldest lady is even more sufficient.

In addition, everyone's magic circuit has also recovered, although there is still no way to release any magic, but the magic can already be felt, and it seems that the rules distorted by Ethan are about to be fully recovered.

Even so, the servants have no idea of resuming the war, and continue to live a peaceful daily life.

"That's pretty good, isn't it good to 'come out' once and enjoy a different kind of pure life?" are you right? Artoria?" Ethan looked at Artoria, who was originally very calm and closed his eyes, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at himself: "Or should I call you Arthur Pendragon?"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

THERE WERE TWO VOICES THAT SQUIRTED OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS BECAUSE OF SABER'S IDENTITY.

One is the lord of SABER, who is the master of this place, Emiya Shirou.

The other is Diana, who is used as a backrest by Ethan - spraying Ethan with an orange on her head, Ethan suspects that she did it on purpose, how could such a little fright make her react so much.

However, Emiya Shirou was really taken aback, and even Skaha next to him was a little surprised-did she really not expect the legendary King Arthur to be such a little girl?

"You know who I am. ”

"Of course. ”

Wiping his hair with the towel handed over by Shirou Emiya, Ethan sat up straight - I don't know if it was an illusion, but when he sat down again, it seemed that some kind of dissatisfaction with himself had become less?

"I'm sure you know my actual situation. ”

"Yes. ”

Ethan's answer made Artoria's hands suddenly clench on her lap, she was not nervous because her identity was exposed, but she wanted to ask Ethan a few questions - she did not break the contract with Shirou, in addition to the above reasons, the biggest reason was to wait for Ethan to return.

"So what do you think...... Is it possible for my wish to come true?"

"It depends on what your wish is?" Ethan fiddled with the orange slices piled up in front of him, as if he was playing with a puzzle, as if he was not at all interested in the topic mentioned by Artoria, but his answer still attracted everyone's attention, so no one cared about his 'desertion': "You want to save the British that you once controlled...... Or save Britain. ”

"Does it make a difference?" Artoria didn't quite understand what Ethan meant.

"If only British...... Suffice it to say that Britain is fine and doesn't need you to worry about it. ”

Without waiting for Artoria to ask, Ethan continued.

"If it's your Britannia...... The kingdom was in chaos, but you weren't dead...... Although you are dying, it is not very difficult to cure it, so you can solve those problems on your own, and when you solve all the problems and the country is back on track, isn't it equivalent to saving Britain?"

"No...... I think......" Artoria seemed to lose all her strength at once, and sat there with her head down: "I think...... I can't. ”

"So you're willing to believe in a cup rather than believe in yourself?"

Artoria was silent, and the others were concerned about something else than saving Britain or something.

"Not dead?"
