Haruhime: "Shirou, may this humble one wish you invincible and eternally glorious -- [Water Heaven Sunlight, Eightfold Tranquilizing Stones]!"

Chapter 1: The Story Always Begins on a Rainy Night

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness."

"I've reached the end... Is this my end?"

"Ah... truly a journey like chasing an intangible moon beneath the long night..."

He closed his eyes, his departing soul beginning to fall, as if sinking into an endless ocean of nothingness.

·

The sky poured with heavy rain.

This rain was as cold as ice, this rain washed away everything.

This place was unlike any scene he remembered, a wooden hut he had never seen before.

The bright moonlight shone into the room from a nearby window, illuminating the boy's handsome features and fiery red hair.

He had clearly died, yet he had come back to life in this world, and his body had returned to the form of a child.

He seized an opportunity, snatched a weapon from the man guarding him, and decisively killed him.

Afterward, he tried to escape, but he was caught. The person was impossibly strong, completely beyond the limits of humans.

The person shouted, "I'm a Level 3 upper-level adventurer, you reckless brat!" while beating Emiya black and blue.

"This little bastard killed our man! I'm going to chop him into mincemeat and feed him to the monsters!"

Those people argued about what to do with the boy, but soon, they wouldn't need to struggle anymore.

A woman holding a katana, wearing a mask and hood, began to slaughter the members of the dark faction. Before this swordswoman, they seemed even more helpless than children. The amazing upper-level adventurer who kept saying "Level 3" and repeatedly showing off his level didn't even realize it before his head was chopped off.

He slowly propped himself up, then immediately lay back down.

Intense pain coursed through his body. He struggled to lift the blanket, confirming the bandages wrapped around his abdomen. It seemed he had received proper treatment.

His left hand must be broken, and he probably had a few broken ribs, with some other superficial wounds.

The aching and itching sensation in his left arm made him gasp softly. Instinct and experience told him that his bones were healing at an unreasonable speed.

"Ah, if you're getting up, take it slowly. Although your legs aren't seriously injured, you still need to be careful. Even with a 'Panacea,' such serious injuries can't be healed so quickly."

She wore what looked like a maid's uniform or shop assistant's outfit, smiling at the boy: "My name is Syr, Syr Flover."

"My name is Emiya, Shirou Emiya."

"Emiya? That sounds like a name from the Far East. Shirou-kun, may I call you that?"

Shirou Emiya's current appearance was at most twelve or thirteen years old. Syr's affectionate and cute way of addressing him wasn't a problem, but it felt a little embarrassing to him, whose soul was that of a young man.

Syr wet a towel with warm water and wiped Shirou's cheeks, while her pale silver eyes met Emiya's, and she began to explain the current situation.

"Village girl" or "girl next door" would probably describe her, giving a sense of everyday reassurance.

"Is she okay?" Emiya asked immediately.

"Ah, she's more seriously injured," Syr replied. "She hasn't woken up yet... Shirou, do you know her name?"

Syr nodded: "I see... Then, Shirou, do you remember where your home is?"

Syr was momentarily speechless.

In the Miyu world line, Emiya's father and son found the "omnipotent wish-granting machine" Child of God, Satsuki Miyu. Miyu became Shirou Emiya's sister, and in the end, Shirou Emiya chose to give up becoming an "ally of justice," refusing to sacrifice his sister for the sake of the world. To this end, he cut through the Holy Grail War overnight, wishing to send his sister to another timeline where she could find happiness.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned your sad past..." Syr said.

A heavy voice broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Has that child woken up yet?"

The person who came was a tall woman, not only tall but also very strong, exuding a strong sense of power.

Was she the tavern owner? For some reason, Emiya always felt a prickling sensation as if facing a strong person, as if he were facing a Heroic Spirit famous for their strength... Perhaps it was just his imagination.

"What's wrong?" Mia asked, puzzled. Syr leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"...... Sigh," Mia sighed deeply, walked to Emiya's side, and pressed her large hand on his head.

"Since that's the case, you brat can stay here for now. We happen to be short-handed, so you can be a handyman. You'll have to work until you've paid off at least the cost of your room and board and the money for the Panacea."

"But, Mama Mia, didn't you agree to it in the first place?"

"This owner, Mia, although her words are harsh, is truly a good person," Emiya thought to himself.

"But Mama Mia, Shirou is still injured..."

"Yes ~"

Thus, Shirou Emiya took on the job of taking care of the fairy girl, and incidentally learned her name from the owner, Mia.

Ryu Lion.

"So, that's how it is..."

For two days, Emiya had been taking care of Miss Ryu by the bedside while subtly gathering information about this world through various means.

It's worth mentioning that the owner, Mia, was actually a dwarf! Although she was taller than many humans and elves, she was probably a special individual in her clan.

The profession of entering the dungeon to subjugate monsters was called an adventurer. Orario had many gods who had sealed their divine power and descended to the Lower World seeking "fun." Adventurers could sign contracts with gods through the power of divine blood, becoming the god's Familia, thereby unlocking their potential, obtaining extraordinary power, and even elevating their level of life.

In an ordinary country, a Level 3 adventurer would be enough to hold positions such as "Kingdom Knight Captain" or "Lord" in the labyrinth city.

So, what level of strength did Miss Ryu, who decapitated a Level 3 with a single sword, possess...?

"Shirou-kun, when it comes to waking up Sleeping Beauty, you'll definitely think of that, right? That one, the prince's kiss, meow."

"You should call Anya 'senior.' Anya is very powerful. Shirou should have more respect for Anya, meow ~" The catgirl puffed out her chest, speaking exaggeratedly.

"Shirou doesn't believe in fairy tales at such a young age. He's too uninspired ~"

When Shirou Emiya came to the world of DanMachi, holding a sword in one hand and a forging hammer in the other, the glory of the Heroic Spirit would bloom once more.

Ryu: "Shirou taught me what true justice is -- [Army of Justice]! Endless Justice War God, come forth!"

Tsubaki: "This sword transcends the realm of the gods, forged for you -- [Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi · Heavenly Genesis Sword Creation]!"

Shirou Emiya: "I have no intention of becoming a hero of justice, I only want to protect those I love... Here I come, Black Dragon, is my life force reserve enough?"

A broken soul dragged its weary steps, traversing the endless snowfield, reaching the final destination.

This road seemed to have been walked for far too long.

Having abandoned the former ideal of "Hero of Justice," choosing the "happiness of those around him," the man who had burned away his body and soul for this, reached his rightful end.

The journey of the man named Shirou Emiya seemed to have reached its end.

Shirou Emiya suddenly opened his eyes.

A solid wood ceiling came into view, the warm touch of blankets and bedding enveloped his body, and a tingling sensation came from the wounds all over his body, as if the injured areas were recovering at an extraordinary speed.

"Where is this...?"

He remembered everything that had happened before.

Moreover, from the moment he woke up, he was in a state of being imprisoned in a dungeon.

Those people seemed to be an organization called 【Dark Faction】, engaged in human trafficking activities everywhere.

Although his body had returned to the state of a child, and both his magic power and the strength he had trained were gone, the fighting skills and consciousness remained in his memory, and more importantly, the 【resolve】 was always deeply engraved in his soul.

But because of internal strife, the other party did not directly kill him.

"Wait, this kid doesn't have Divine Grace, but he successfully killed a Lv.1 adventurer. Such talent would be a waste to just kill him..."

A sharp gust of wind rushed in.

The female swordsman launched a fierce battle at the Dark Faction's stronghold. Although injured by the traps within, she still resolutely eliminated all the enemies. Until the end, she came to the front of the already unconscious boy, hesitated for a long time, and finally carried the seriously injured boy on her back.

"So, I was saved by her." Returning to the present, Shirou looked at his slender arms, a child's body was still too weak, and more importantly, he now had no magic power in his body, nor could he sense the existence of magic circuits, so he could not use his specialty 【Projection Magic】.

"The injuries I suffered should have been more serious, and... hiss..."

"Ah, you're awake, that's great."

Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, a young girl walked in.

"You are...?"

The girl was holding a wooden bucket filled with warm water, she had pale silver hair and the same color eyes, and a soft voice revealed an ethereal quality that was inconsistent with her appearance.

Was it her who saved him...? No, it shouldn't be the same person. Shirou recalled that the female swordsman should be someone else. However, the girl in front of him should be the one who helped him with the treatment.

"Ah, uh, it's okay."

"You've been asleep all day."

"A day... huh?"

Not surprised by this, Shirou's only thought was: "I survived."

And, the female swordsman who saved him, how is she now?

Shirou didn't avoid her eyes. The lovely girl in front of him, with her gentle and kind smile, reminded him somewhat of that junior named "Sakura."

"This is the tavern where I work. I found Shirou and another elf girl collapsed in the alley, so I brought you here --"

"I don't know, I was just rescued by her..." the boy replied.

The boy was silent for a moment: "She should be far away... No, there probably isn't a home for me here."

The protagonist is Shirou Emiya from the 《Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya》 Miyuverse. This world is a dying, apocalyptic world. Shirou Emiya received better magic education in his early years and traveled the world with Kiritsugu Emiya, carrying out salvation activities. He is not only proficient in archery, swordsmanship, and martial arts, but also proficient in firearms.

Chapter 2 Ryu Lion

"No, this..." Realizing that his words had caused a misunderstanding, but not knowing how to explain it, Shirou was speechless for a moment.

She has earthy brown hair, and both her facial features and figure give people a hearty feeling.

"Yes, Mama, his name is Shirou Emiya. Shirou, this is Mama Mia, the owner of the shop where I work."

"Really, you're just giving me trouble when we're short-handed these days, picking up all kinds of messy people like stray cats and dogs..." Mia sighed and complained, while Syr quickly walked to the other party's side and gently tugged at the female boss's apron.

Hmm, what great strength... Shirou was momentarily confused.

"Okay, okay." Shirou replied.

"Really, it's fine with this kid, but the point is, don't pick up that kind of elf who looks like a hot potato." Mia complained while rubbing Shirou's head.

Mia just kept sighing, but Syr responded with a smile.

"By the way, since you and that elf are together, you can take care of her starting tomorrow."

"Now, just send him to the medical familia and apply a healing spell, right? Syr, you've already wasted a day on this kid and that elf, go back to the store starting tomorrow!"

This seems to be a fantasy-style other world. In addition to humans, there are races such as elves, beast-people, dwarves, Amazons, and Lilliputians. For example, Miss Ryu, the sleeping beauty who has not yet woken up in front of him, is an elf with delicate features and long pointed ears.

In addition to the various races, there are also "monsters" in this world that threaten human life. The monsters come from the Dungeon. Above the Dungeon is the labyrinth city Orario, known as the center of the world, which is also where he is currently located, and also where the gods of the heavens gather after descending.

The man from the Dark Faction proudly said, "I am a Lv.3 upper-level adventurer," because in this world, Lv.3 is indeed a considerable level. More than half of the adventurers in the labyrinth city Orario are the lowest Lv.1, and the proportion is even greater when viewed from the whole world.

Walking silently like a cat, she is actually a cat-person, the orange-haired girl suddenly appeared.

"No, that's just a fairy tale, Miss Anya..."

Wearing a shop assistant's uniform similar to Miss Syr's, the wind-like cat-person girl, Miss Anya, the idiot cat in Boss Mia's mouth, is also full of energy today, randomly refreshing in various parts of the tavern from time to time.
