The Nuclear Sword Fairy from a certain cartoon

Upon hearing Shirou's question, Karna immediately answered.

"I haven't detected the presence of other Servants or mages nearby, Master."

"Is that so..."

Shirou nodded.

It seems that except for now, only Emiya Kiritsugu has tested this side.

And now the death of Emiya Kiritsugu is enough to make other people who are still waiting and watching more cautious.

At present, Karna has not revealed the power of the Noble Phantasm. Even if others want to use it, they have to think about it.

With this in mind, Shirou took Karna and went directly to the school after confirming Sakura's condition.

Until he arrived at his seat in the classroom, Shirou was still thinking about things related to the Holy Grail War.

Last night, he faced off against Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei, and even Gilgamesh showed up. Fortunately, Shirou escaped quickly, otherwise he would have wasted a command spell to summon Karna.

With the strength of both Karna and Gilgamesh as top-notch heroic spirits, it’s hard to say who will win in a real fight.

And even if Shirou and Karna can win together, they will probably be severely damaged, and it will be difficult for other Servants to show up.

While Shirou was thinking, the teacher on the podium was giving a history-related course.

"In ancient Sakurajima, men called their younger sisters "me". This has nothing to do with age. It is a term for female relatives. It is also used to address lovers and wives."

"Because marriages between brothers and sisters were also common at that time, there was also a saying that wives, lovers and sisters were treated equally."

"The 19th emperor's biological son and biological daughter, the eldest prince Kirikan fell in love with his biological sister, the princess. The two had an affair. After learning about it, the emperor exiled his children. Who knew that the princess could not bear the exile? , committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea. After his brother, the Prince, found out, he also committed suicide by caesarean section and died in love."

"This period of history tells us that learning to swim must start from an early age..."

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, school is over.

Rin came to see Shirou immediately after school and went home with him.

At first, many students were making noises about this situation, but now everyone is used to it.

"Let's go, Shirou~"

This calling sound is so cute and tight that it makes people feel itchy.

Shirou suppressed the thought of reaching out and squeezing the girl's fat baby face, and nodded in reply.

"Well, let's go."

As they walked down the stairs, Shirou told her a story from a book he had read.

"There was a man named Kusunoki. When he was a child, he believed that the value of life was higher than others. He was a proud, unmodest and tactless person. At this time, he met Jiye, a girl who had the same idea as him, and they made an agreement with each other. I will definitely realize my ideals in the future.”

"However, until the age of 20, Kusunoki could not see the path to success at all. He could only see the end of a life of poverty and failure at a glance."

"Kusunoki, who was trapped in life, accidentally came across a store that could buy life spans, so he sold the rest of his life for [-] yen per year..."

What Shirou was telling was the story of a light novel he had read, but it was still more than ten years before the book was released.

If there was no Holy Grail War, Shirou originally thought that he could work part-time as a copywriter while he was in school.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

When Shirou told the story about the male protagonist Kusunoki returning to find his former childhood sweetheart Himeno, they had already arrived at the school gate, and Rin's mother Tohsaka Aoi happened to be waiting outside.

"Strange, why does Nanmu want to sell his life? No matter how poor he is, doesn't he still have a place to live? Can't he improve by going to work?"

Rin asked with some confusion.

"This is a matter of mentality. There are always some people who believe that pie will fall from the sky, and they will waste their lifespan, do ridiculous things without feeling any regret, and never work hard.

To face and treat, to defend oneself blindly, but sometimes the ignorant people receive the most precious things or people. Some are still unable to recover, but some people burst out with amazing power. It's really incredible. "

Just like Kusunoki, who originally believed that his life was worthless, soon after selling his lifespan, he discovered that after his death, his paintings during his lifetime were sold for sky-high prices.

"It seems that this story is a bit too long. Let me change it to a simple and pleasant joke next time. I will tell you the story of Luo Ji using his Gundam form to attack the Trisolarans with explosive water droplets."

Shirou finished speaking with a smile and glanced at the woman waiting outside the school gate.

It seems that what happened in the past few days and the tense atmosphere of the Holy Grail War really made the mother sleepy and uneasy, so she came to pick up Rin personally.

"Okay, I'll go now~ See you tomorrow, Shirou~"

In fact, Rin cared more about the sense of relaxation when staying with Shirou than the story.

Looking at her mother Aoi waving to her outside the school gate, Rin was actually a little reluctant to leave, but after saying goodbye to Shirou, she followed Aoi and left the school obediently.

After seeing Rin getting into the car, Shirou also left the school and gave Karna an outfit so that he could experience modern times in a physical form.

"Master, it doesn't matter if I stay in spirit form."

Karna was a little confused by Shirou's behavior.

Shirou smiled and said: "It's not easy to come to this world once, of course I have to experience it thoroughly."

After hearing this, Karna was silent for a few seconds, and then smiled heartily.

"Well, I understand."

Then, Shirou led Karna towards the commercial street.

After destroying Caster's magic workshop on the banks of the Miyon River, Shirou could no longer find any clues about Caster.

So, now he plans to go there to investigate again and make a counterattack.

Although the possibility is low, there might be some missing clues.

In addition, since they are here, Shirou also plans to bring some gifts back to Sakura.

"What do girls of this age like..."

While Shirou was walking and thinking, he suddenly saw two familiar figures in the endless crowd and stopped immediately.

"That is……?"

Gilgamesh, who has blond hair and a handsome face and wears casual clothes, should have the appearance of a noble prince, but his unabashed arrogance when facing the ordinary people around him makes him look like a delinquent.

Picture: "EA Warning", location: "Images/1673151650-100352746-109794783.jpg"

And even at this level, the reason why no one expressed dissatisfaction with him was Kotomine Kirei, who was wearing a priest's robe and had an expressionless face following Gilgamesh.

Kotomine Kirei's tall and strong figure, even the black priest's clothes were a little tight on his body, allowing even ordinary people around him to notice how terrifying his inner explosive power was.

Kotomine Kirei, who stood behind Gilgamesh like a bodyguard, made those who were unhappy with Gilgamesh's contemptuous gaze obediently look away.

What these people didn't know was that their fear of Kotomine Kirei actually allowed them to avoid a disaster.

When Shirou was observing the two of them, they had also noticed Shirou.

"That child seems to be from that night..."

Kotomine Kirei narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Shirou.

He was deeply impressed by this Lancer's Master.

The mental trauma caused by Lancer's shot that day is still a bit frightening to this day.

Chapter 34 Teach the King of Heroes to play video games

"I didn't expect to meet him here. Do you want to take action to deal with him?"

Kotomine Kirei looked at Gilgamesh next to him.

They had reached a consensus on "pleasure" and had already begun to establish a 'friendship' without Tokiomi Tohsaka knowing.

Gilgamesh smiled disdainfully after hearing Kotomine Kirei's inquiry.

"I have no interest in taking action against such a weak child."

Gilgamesh paid no attention to Karna who was following Shirou.

After all, although they are both top-level heroic spirits, they only know it from Shirou's perspective. Now, except for seeing Karna's martial arts display that night, Gilgamesh didn't feel that Karna was powerful enough to threaten him. strength, so naturally he still maintained his indifferent attitude.

"What a coincidence that we meet here."

Shirou showed no fear at all and went straight to meet him.

"By the way, what are you two planning to do in the shopping street?"

Hearing Shirou's question, Kotomine Kirei opened his mouth slightly, hesitating whether to say it or not.

Kotomine

Kirei is emotionally deficient, not brainstem deficient, so naturally he will not just answer whatever is asked.

Although it was still quite some time before evening, and it was still in public, Kotomine Kirei didn't know if the two people in front of him would suddenly attack.

The rule that the Holy Grail War can only be conducted at night is something that only those from magic families are willing to abide by. It is hard to say whether the rest of the people will abide by it.

Even if there is a Holy Church serving as a supervisor, it is difficult to say that everyone will obey obediently.

While Kotomine Kirei was thinking, Gilgamesh spoke first.

"I plan to go inside that building and have a look."

Gilgamesh said this and turned his attention to a video game arcade not far ahead.

Seeing the interested look in Gilgamesh's eyes, the corner of Shirou's mouth twitched.

This hero king seems to have a strong interest in modern games.

But this is understandable. There was indeed no such rich entertainment in that era, and it was only normal for the King of Heroes to be so interested in it.

Anyway, the matter is not in a hurry. Shirou wants to see the King of Heroes playing video games. Just thinking about it makes him think it will be interesting.

At this time, Gilgamesh seemed to sense Shirou's somewhat moved emotions and spoke to him.

"Hey, you should know these things, right?"

When they come to the human world, the heroic spirits will obtain some basic information about modern times from the Holy Grail, but this may not include these unimportant entertainments.

Mine Kirei is not the type to play games at all, so naturally he knows nothing about these things.

That's why Gilgamesh asked Shirou.

"It's okay, I know a little bit."

Shirou shrugged.

It's 1994 now. Shirou, who knows a lot about entertainment in later generations, naturally doesn't know how to play games.

"Well, why don't you come and accompany me to learn about these things?"

After Gilgamesh said this, he took out a gold-plated bronze vessel and threw it to Shirou.

"Of course, I won't let you work in vain."

"..."

Shirou looked at the golden disk in his hand dumbfounded.

This thing is like a clock. The clock face is inlaid with metal flames and rays of light. The top is inlaid with white stone as decoration, and the bottom is inlaid with a thick piece of yellow-green stone as the edge of the clock.

Wouldn't it be unlucky to give this thing as a gift?

Shirou was speechless.

However, in Gilgamesh's time, there would not be such a taboo.

The "King's Treasure" is full of genuine items, and Gilgamesh will not put anything of insufficient value into his treasury, so the value of this clock is absolutely immeasurable.

"Then let's go."

Shirou accepted the treasure unceremoniously, and then walked into the arcade with Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei.

Karna followed Shirou, always keeping an eye on the two of them.

After arriving at the arcade, Shirou glanced around and saw that there was a PS1 section in the arcade.

It was a coincidence that the PS1994 happened to be released in 1.

"This seems quite interesting."

As soon as Gilgamesh walked in here, he immediately became interested in the game "King of Fighters 94".
