Chapter 101: It's time to eat!
Artoria is near-dead, but she is not dead.
Even if she gave up her participation in the Holy Grail War now and returned to the time when she was seriously injured, she would have enough time to give an account of what had happened, including having Bedwell return her sword to the Lake Elves before she died.
That's enough time to do a proper 'rescue' job to save her life, and then take the knights who still follow her to clean up the mess in the country - although Britain was already in chaos at that time, King Arthur's troops still had an absolute advantage in strength, and as long as she wanted, she could completely pacify Britain again.
Artoria didn't want to do this because she had doubts about herself, and she didn't think she was a worthy king, which led to the complete split of the Knights of the Round Table and the chaos of Britain.
Ethan, however, did not take care of Artoria's emotions, and he directly stated these situations in simple sentences.
It's like lifting your scar in front of you and then letting the people around you watch it - it's definitely not a good feeling, and if it weren't for Artoria's deep understanding that what the other party said was not wrong, and resisting the urge to make a move, I'm afraid she would have drawn her sword and slashed it like many people.
Perhaps seeing the embarrassment on Artoria's face, Emiya Shirou took the initiative to help Artoria change the subject, and no longer let everyone dwell too much on the question 'Why would you rather believe in a cup than believe in yourself, and the knights who still follow you?'.
"You just said Britain is good...... What does that mean?"
"Britain is a place, you don't know where they are, do you think they're terrible right now?"
"Forehead ......"
Emiya Shirou understood what Ethan meant, for that part of Britain, it didn't seem to make a difference who ruled, and the people who lived there were doing well now, and of course they didn't bother King Arthur to save them.
It is even possible to directly claim that no great king is irreplaceable.
"Not to mention the concept of parallel worlds. β
"You don't understand the parallel world, do you?"
Emiya Shirou nodded, the theory of parallel world often appears in various anime, film and television works, even if it is just an ordinary person, he has enough understanding of this theory, of course Emiya Shirou understands what parallel world is.
"Amya...... That is, the one who came from the future and became a guardian...... What is a Guardian? More on that later...... He is the future you, but not necessarily your future. β
Ethan finally stopped fiddling with the orange peel, and with a flick of his hands, a blue stickman appeared on the table around everyone.
"Let's say it's you, you're chatting with us right now, and later you may have a few choices: you want to make a good dinner, but some of the ingredients are not available at home, and you choose to go out and buy groceries or use other ingredients you have in place. β
With Ethan's movements, the villain turned into two, one staying still, and the other moving around, so that everyone understood what he meant.
"Maybe you want to buy a fish, maybe you want to buy a chicken, every time you make a choice, there is a possibility that a parallel world will appear. β
"You mean, Amya is the future I became after making some choices, but it's possible that I have other futures because of different choices?"
That's what it means...... In fact, you can't be Amya anymore. β
When Ethan appeared, this world line was equivalent to a new world line - not to mention that even in the original plot, although Emiya Shirou had countless choices in the plot, none of them would make him become Amya.
In other words, Emia herself is Emiya Shirou of another world line, and is not within the more future that this Emiya Shirou may derive from in front of her.
"I see. β
"So...... The future is still in your hands, what kind of person will you become in the future...... Or that existence is still up to you. β
Ethan's words are not simply to give Emiya Shirou what is called a parallel world, but also to Artoria and Illya by the way.
"It's the same with you. β
Artoria still didn't speak, her mind was a little confused, compared to Illya, who had already understood these truths, but for a moment she didn't know what her future should look like, and she fell into confusion.
"It doesn't matter if you don't think about it for a while, you still have a lot of time anyway. β
Seeing what Illya was struggling with, Ethan comforted him a little, and then continued to bow his head and tinker with the orange peel in his hand.
The table fell silent, and Artoria hesitated for a moment before finally speaking again.
"You said there are countless parallel worlds...... Isn't it...... There is also a ......"
"Is there a world where you didn't become king?"
"Hmm. β
Artoria's suspicions of herself had exploded, and she decided that she was not fit to be king, and that everything that happened to the Knights of the Round Table and Britain was simply because she was not qualified.
In this sense, Artoria is indeed a little girlβa little girl who has not seen anything.
"From ancient times to the present, the knowledge of the rise and fall of countless dynasties, you should also know, right, this knowledge has not made you understand anything?"
Artoria did not answer, and Ethan found that this was still a very stubborn little girl, and she had serious doubts about herself, and it was useless to say anything at this time.
"The world you want to talk about also exists, and in many worlds there is no King Arthur, not even the Knights of the Round Table. β
Although King Arthur is a famous figure, it is impossible to determine whether he actually exists, and in some 'partial real' worlds, King Arthur is just a legendary figure.
"How's Britain?"
"Britain is fine, don't worry too much about you. β
Again, Artoria thought that he was really not a good king, and that the country under his rule was no different from the world without his own.
"You're thinking too negatively. β
At this time, some shocking scenes are needed to dispel her self-doubt.
In fact, King Arthur led Britain to a prosperous and powerful world. β
Originally, seeing Artoria's look of 'I'm really a useless king', Emiya Shirou was still very worried about whether she would do anything drastic, such as suicide, suicide, suicide or something.
Just as I was thinking about how to enlighten him, Ethan happened to mention such a world and immediately encouraged him.
"GREAT, THERE IS STILL SUCH A WORLD, AND SABER CAN ACTUALLY DO IT. β
"Of course, if she wants to do it. β
With the situation in Britain at the time, Artoria's personal force, and the support of the remaining Knights of the Round Table, it was not difficult to re-pacify Britain.
The question is whether Artoria is willing to do these things.
"Does such a world really exist?"
"Of course. β
If you only talk about this type of moon universe, Ethan really doesn't know if King Arthur has not fallen, but has gone to a higher peak world.
But he helped cultivate a more special King Arthur, and now the Britain under the rule of King Arthur is very powerful, definitely surpassing the Britain under the control of Artoria.
"If you don't believe me, I can show you there. β
"This ...... I'm afraid it can't be done, right?"
Artoria's situation was very special, she didn't know what her current body was, and she didn't know if she could follow Ethan to the parallel world.
"There's nothing that can't be done...... Well, I'm afraid you need to sort out whether this is an ontology or a doppelganger, and if it's an ontology, it depends on what mechanism created it. β
But whether it's the main body or the clone, there won't be any problems after giving Ethan a little time to figure out the situation.
Even if there were a few other Heroic Spirits whose bodies were on the Valhalla, Ethan could take them out to play - if he wanted to, he could have called them down from the Valhalla.
The reason is very simple, when he returned to this world, Madeleine threw something to him, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, and just now he found out that it was actually the ownership of this world.
When he sat there playing with orange peels with his head down, he was studying what this 'ownership' was.
In the end, it was found that these were the various 'rules' and permissions of the entire Moon World, but because he had just taken ownership of this world, his current authority was not large.
Since this world was not 'created' by him, and he did not have a deep understanding of the rules of this world, to put it simply, Ethan had nothing else special except for the name of 'owner'.
But he could do something like calling Valhalla down from Valhalla - in that sense, the whole Valhalla became his private collection.
This is the only benefit for now, and the rest may have to wait until he thoroughly understands the rule structure of this world and fully grasps all the permissions.
On the other hand, Amya, the guardian, seems to have become his little brother's little brother, but he has not completely controlled the world yet, and he doesn't know if the inhibitory force is willing to give this face and hand over Amya?
"Huh, the cook's problem solved?"
In a daze, Ethan found that the cook he had been talking about for a long time would not be solved, and even if Amya could not report for the time being, there was still a good chef in front of him.
Emiya Shirou didn't go out to buy vegetables, and CΓΊ Chulainn brought a lot when he came back, and at the same time, the classmate Makiri Sakura, who often came to help Emiya cook, also brought a lot of materials, and seemed to know that there were more people in Emiya's family recently, so he came to help.
"There have been a lot of guests in the senior's house lately!"
"yes, but it's a little more crowded...... There are so many people, why don't we eat hot pot!"
