Chapter 164: Emiya Kiritsuji and Faith

"Really? I see! ”

After handing the cup full of water to Kurotsu Kazuki, Emiya Shirou, who had listened to Kurotetsu Kazuki's story, suddenly remembered Kiritsu.

It's really alike, these two men!

Whether it is Emiya Shirou's father, Emiya Kiritsugu, or Kuritsu Ikki's father, Heitetsu Yan.

They are the kind of men who have their own beliefs.

And for the sake of their own beliefs, they can treat any feelings indifferently.

Recalling the man who made it his mission to save the world, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but laugh.

If he knew that he would be the trigger for the destruction of the world, would he kill himself?

I think so!

After all, that man is so persistent!

Remembering the ending of Fate/zero that he had seen in his previous life, Emiya Shirou did not hesitate about this result.

If he really hindered him, he would definitely kill himself with his own hands!

Even if his heart is in great pain!

So what's the difference between himself and Kurotetsu Kazuki?

The difference is that Kiritsugu died too early and didn't see his current self.

After all, Kiritsugu in his world is not the Kiritsugu Emiya who has completely realized in the Holy Grail after participating in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

He was the man who was still looking for a childish way to save the world until he died.

"What a coincidence!"

Looking at the decadent black iron Yihui in front of him, Emiya Shirou said lightly: "Yihui, are you in pain?" Because of your own conflict with your father's beliefs, so that he never took you to heart? ”

"Ahh It's painful! ”

Stroking his chest, Heitie Yihui said painfully.

"It's true, it's unacceptable, but that's about it!"

“?”

Looking blankly at Emiya Shirou, Heitetsu Kazuki didn't know why he said that.

"If my father, who once revived me and adopted me as an adopted son, knew my current beliefs, he would have killed me with his own hands!"

“?”

Hearing Emiya Shirou's narration, Kurotetsu Kazuki's eyes widened, he never imagined that there would be such a father in the world.

"Why?"

Heitie Yihui's voice gradually became louder.

"Why would he do that?"

"Why?"

Repeating Kurotetsu Kazuki's inquiry, Emiya Shirou gradually fell into his memories.

"Because he wants to be a partner of righteousness! His dream is world peace! ”

"But isn't that a beautiful and lofty ideal?"

Kurotetsu Kazuki was puzzled, becoming a partner in justice, or wishing for world peace or something.

Everyone has had this wish since childhood.

In Heitie Yihui's view, this is a beautiful and noble wish.

"Indeed, everyone has had this dream, but no one can stick to it like him and be able to realize it!"

Sitting on the couch, Emiya Shirou crossed his hands and rested on his chin.

"For this wish, he has been saving all kinds of people in deep disasters all over the world, and I have been saved by him because of this, so I look forward to him!"

"But in the process of saving, there are always various choices, such as two groups of hostages held by terrorists, and he can only save one of them."

"If you save this gang, then the other gang will never have a chance to save it, and the only thing waiting for them is death, so how will you save it? Ikki. ”

"Me?"

Hearing Emiya Shirou's example, Kurotetsu Kazuki instantly fell into the choice.

Two groups of people, but only one group can be saved.

How does this make him choose?

Without too much embarrassment, Emiya Shirou continued: "He will save the group with more people and give up the group with fewer people, this is his way of saving!" ”

"Save more and kill less!"

"In order to save more people, he will take the initiative to kill fewer people. Even among these fewer people, there will be his relatives! ”

"What?"

"Don't you even care about your own relatives?"

Kurotetsu Kazuki was shocked, shocked by the way the man named Emiya Kiritsugu lived.

"That's right!"

Glancing faintly at the shocked Black Iron Ichiki, Emiya Shirou continued: "Once, there was a dangerous knife cutter who used his ability to research a virus that could infect people around him into ghouls. ”

"Kiritsugu and his adoptive mother, who is also his master, have been chasing after this guy since they learned of his existence, and finally caught his tail."

"Kiritsugu's adoptive mother killed the knife cutter on the plane, but the virus spread, and the entire plane passengers became ghouls except for Kiritsugu's adoptive mother."

"In the end, in order to prevent the virus from spreading to the ground and causing more casualties, Kiritsugu directly smashed the plane with a missile, ending the life of his adoptive mother."

Looking at the shocked Black Iron Yihui, Emiya Shirou said lightly: "He is such a person. He was a dreamer who wanted world peace, but in practice he was a ruthless realist. ”

"If he hadn't died early, he would have ended my life with his own hands!"

After sighing again, Emiya Shirou said to Heitie Yihui: "Yihui, I don't mean anything else to say this, I just want you to recognize the reality. ”

"Recognize reality?"

"That's right! Our fathers are the future of us, and their beliefs are unshakable. Just like the beliefs of you and me today, will they be shaken with the passage of time? ”

"No, it won't!"

"Maybe there are many parents in the world who will give up their ideals for their children after they are born, and such parents are indeed great!"

"But it can only be their own choice, not the choice we force them to choose. We're not qualified to do that either! ”

"Children are the continuation of their parents' lives, not their beliefs, and we are different individuals with different beliefs."

"Maybe our beliefs are conflicting, but it's not a big deal."

"Respect their beliefs, affirm your beliefs, and then deny their beliefs!"

"That's exactly what we're going to do!"

Standing up from the sofa and patting Kurotetsu Kazuki's shoulder, Emiya Shirou said seriously, "Or is your faith vulnerable in the face of your father's faith?" ”

"How so!"

Recalling his beliefs, recalling the setbacks and tribulations he has suffered so far, Hei Tie Yihui gritted his teeth and said: "How can my faith be vulnerable!" ”

"Then what are you hesitating about?"

Emiya Shirou's voice also became louder: "I think you have come to this day not just to prove it to your father!" Since he ignores you because of his beliefs, crush his ignorance. ”

"Isn't that how you got all the way?"

"Besides, without your father's support, are you alone?"

As Emiya Shirou's words fell, the doorbell of the dormitory rang.

Opening the door and looking at the people outside the door, Heitie Yihui asked in surprise: "You guys are!" ”

I saw that there were many other people outside the door, except for Black Iron Bead Shizuku, Stella, and Nagi Arisuin.

Among them is Origi-sensei, there are classmates in the class, and there is Kagami Kusakabe, who often interviews him.

There is his apprentice Ayatsuji Ayase, and there is his previous subordinate Rabbit Pill Love.

There are others.

Now, these people appeared together in front of Heitie Yihui's eyes.

"Everyone!"

Without waiting for Heitie Yihui to say more, the voice on the other side had already come.

"Heitie-san, although I don't know what kind of setbacks you have encountered, you will always be the pride of the teacher!"

"That's right, Heitie is the pride of our first-year class."

"Master's kindness. Ayase will not forget. ”

"Since we have won us, let's rush forward with our expectations, but don't lose halfway because of confusion!"

Hearing everyone's support, Heitie Yihui's heart became hot.

And at this moment, Black Iron Zhuzuku walked up to him and said seriously: "Brother, you are not alone now, you still have us!" ”
