———— wakes up to find himself in the midst of a burning wilderness.

I guess there was a big fire. Accustomed streets are in ruins, like the war sites you see in movies.

———— and this scenario did not last long.

Around dawn, the fire began to weaken. The walls of fire that had been so high before gradually decreased, and most of the buildings collapsed.

…… In the midst of this, I felt quite unbelievable that only I was still intact.

Around here, only one is alive.

Was it my luck, or was the house built in a place with good feng shui? I don't know why, anyway, only I'm still alive. Now that I've survived, I think I have to keep living.

Because it would be dangerous to stay in this place all the time, I started walking aimlessly. It's not because I'm afraid I'll turn into black charcoal like the people who fell next to me. It must be that a stronger feeling dominates one's will than not wanting to be like that. Even so, I didn't hold out any hope.

Because it's incredible to be alive so far, I don't think I can be saved like this. Because there will be no one to save at all.

No matter what method is used, it is impossible to leave this fiery world. Even such a young child would think so, this scene is a veritable hell for the film.

Then I fell.

Is there no oxygen, or is it that the ability to receive oxygen has been lost? Anyway, I just fell down and looked at the sky that was starting to turn cloudy. There are a lot of people around who have shrunk into black charcoal.

Dark clouds covered the sky, letting me know that it was going to rain. That's fine, and the fire will end when it rains.

Finally, I took a deep breath and looked up at the rain clouds. I can't even breathe in any air, I just feel so sad.

On behalf of those who can no longer spit out such words, I have expressed my current feelings.

────That happened 10 years ago.

After that, I was miraculously saved. The body survived like this.

But I think the rest of it will probably turn into black charcoal, and all of it will be burned to ashes. Like parents or home, if all of them disappear, there is nothing left for a small child. So everything outside of the body is gone.

To put it simply, I think it's a very simple thing.

That is, as a price for keeping the body alive.

The part of the soul is dead.

────────── I had a dream.

"Hmm............"

When the first rays of light of the morning shone into the small warehouse, the dusty Emiya Shirou opened his eyes. With an angular body that maintains a perennial workout, his short orange hair makes him look very energetic......

Emiya Shirou, who was adopted by the magician Emiya Kiritsugu in the fire of Fuyuki City ten years ago, changed his name to Emiya Shirou, and has lived alone in this Emiya mansion since the death of his father Emiya Kiritsugu a few years ago.

"Strange? Why did you have this dream again? ”

Emiya Shirou sat up, apparently still in a hazy state that he had just woken up, and after a moment, he realized his current state.

"Uh...... Looks like I'm asleep in the warehouse again. ”

With a sigh, Emiya Shirou stood up, first sorted the repaired electrical appliances and parts into categories, and then opened the door of this warehouse and walked outside.

The late autumn morning is very cold, but it is also very good to expel drowsiness. With a few deep breaths, the cold air poured into his lungs, and Emiya Shirou felt completely awake.

"Good. I'm fully awake and I don't know what time it is. ”

Pat the dust off his work clothes, Emiya Shirou walked towards the bedroom, saw the alarm clock in the room, but found that it was already 6:15.

"Oops, didn't expect to sleep so late. I don't have time to exercise this morning, so let's hurry up and make breakfast. ”

After changing his clothes, Emiya Shirou, who came to the kitchen, had just fastened his apron, but he suddenly felt that he was not used to it at all, because, if it was a normal time, someone would definitely appear here.

Sakura...... She's okay. ”

Two days ago, Sakura and her brother Shinji were said to have left Fuyuki City on leave for a family trip, which also led to Shirou Emiya having to cook and handle household chores by himself these days. Although it is said that I have always lived like this since I started before, but since a year and a half ago, Sakura came to her house to help cook, it was like having an extra family, and she was missing all of a sudden, but I felt that I was not used to the whole life......

In the middle of his distraction, Emiya Shirou had already unconsciously made breakfast, and a tempting smell of food wafted from the kitchen, and then, Emiya Shirou heard a voice full of energy.

"Good morning~~~ Shirou!"

"Good morning, Sister Fuji."

Emiya Shirou didn't look back and said hello, the person who called Emiya Shirou was called Fujimura Taiga, for Emiya Shirou, it was a sister-like existence, as for other ...... No need for introduction.

"Ah, Sister Fuji, please go and set up the dishes and chopsticks first, and you will be ready to eat soon."

"Uh-huh......"

Hearing Fujimura Taihe's response, Emiya Shirou still didn't even look back, and continued to concentrate on making breakfast.

But—

"Hey-Shirou, you have to remember to make three people for breakfast, and so are the bento-"

"Sister Fuji, what are you talking about? I'm almost ready for breakfast, do you have a guest? And what do you want a bento for? Emiya Shirou replied suspiciously.

"Hmph............" Emiya Shirou heard the usual wicked laughter of Fujimura Taiga behind him.

"I said Sister Fuji......" Emiya Shirou turned around helplessly, but he was stunned.

I saw a purple-haired beautiful girl wearing a high school girl's uniform in Suiqunyuan School Park, looking at him with a smile on her face, while Fujimura Taiga was covering her mouth and snickering.

“sa…… Sakura (Sakura)! Emiya Shirou said dumbfoundedly.

Sakura replied with a smile: "Yes, senior, I'm back." ”

Emiya Shirou breathed a long sigh of relief, and a happy expression appeared on his face, but immediately he looked at Fujimura Taiga reproachfully and said, "Sister Fuji, you didn't tell me in advance when Sakura came back!" ”

Fujimura Taiga straightened his chest and said proudly, "What—didn't I tell you just now?" Make breakfast for three and a bento. ”

"You tell me that, too?" Emiya Shirou couldn't cry or laugh: "No, Sakura is back, Sakura, you and Sister Fuji will sit down for a while and rest, and I'll cook a little more food right away." ”

Seeing this, Sakura walked into the kitchen skillfully, took out a pink apron and tied it, and said, "Senior, I'll help you." ”

"No, Sakura, you're just back, aren't you? I must be very tired, so let's sit and rest with Sister Fuji. Emiya Shirou said.

"It's okay, senior, I'm just going on a family trip, and I'm not tired at all. It's better for two people to cook than one. Sakura said with the same smile as ever.

"That'...... Sakura, then I'm sorry to grill the saury. I'm going to make grilled chicken. ”

"Well, okay, senior."

Emiya Shirou and Sakura Maki began to get busy in the kitchen, while Fujimura Taiga sat in the dining room and read the newspaper as a matter of course.

Finally, when the fragrant breakfast was finally made and the three of them were ready to start, a doorbell rang but they remembered.

Bite... Boom...

"Who?" Emiya Shirou walked to the entrance and opened the door.

The door opened, and what Emiya Shirou saw was a strong man who was more than 1.9 meters tall.

Then, after the strong man saw Emiya Shirou, he laughed out loud and patted Emiya Shirou's shoulder, and the huge force made Emiya Shirou almost fall.

Then, Emiya Shirou heard the hearty voice of this strong man:

"You're Emiya Shirou, aren't you? First time we met, hello, I'm a friend of Kiritsugu. ”

Daddy's (Emiya Kiritsugu)'s ...... Friend?!
