There are many types of protection. Mere protection is not protection. Sometimes purging is also necessary.

He is the judge and the reaper.

The king only wants results.

He, who is above human beings, will not interfere in the "glorious process" that leads to this result.

With the bloodline of both humans and gods, he stood higher and saw farther. Even the gods could not understand what he saw.

He sincerely respected the gods, and he also loved humans from the bottom of his heart. Because of this, he chose to abandon the gods and choose to hate humans.

If Enkidu hadn't appeared and given him a "human" life, Gilgamesh might have remained an aloof king forever.

Because of this, when Saber said that the king should be aloof, Gilgamesh did not agree. Because of Enkidu, his best friend, he was no longer lonely or aloof.

After Enkidu passed away, his arrogance was mixed with loneliness.

……

After thinking about the past of the other two tyrants and the ways of the king, Shirou cast his eyes in vain on Artoria, who was secretly depressed.

"Saber, they haven't seen your glory yet. Your Noble Phantasm proves that your ideal is correct. If the Noble Phantasm of the King of Conqueror embodies the commander-in-chief qualities of the King of Conqueror, then your Noble Phantasm also embodies the qualities of the King of Conqueror. The embodiment of your faith, the brilliance of this pride cannot be denied by anyone. This glorious thorny road does not reach a glorious and happy end in this world, but it transcends the times and moves towards eternity."

Shirou's words stunned both Saber and Irisviel standing next to her.

"The ideal king..."

Combining Shirou's words, Saber recalls her past life

, eyes sparkling slightly.

Arturia Pendragon was not born in a normal way, but Uther Pendragon and Merlin combined to perfectly integrate the blood of the King of Britain, the ideology of the Red Dragon of Britain, and The noble female blood of the two mixed to create a new king created from the mother's womb, who was born to be transcendent above mortals.

Therefore, Artoria has had qualities beyond mortals since her birth.

And because Arturia has been endlessly educated by the king since she was a child, and was taught knowledge by Merlin even in her sleep, so until she was 15 years old, her understanding of the world was still "rich in theory" level.

On the day of the king's election, Arturia learned from Merlin that she and the kingdom were destined to be destroyed, but even so, she still resolutely drew the sword.

The little girl who worked hard to study and train to become a king in the past has since become a real king. In order to protect the people, her sword is stained with blood. Even if she is abandoned, betrayed, and reviled by her own people, she Don't plan to look back either.

She carried out her belief in becoming a king, dedicated herself to the country and the people, and made everyone happy even if she was the only one unfortunate.

She is simply an ideal saint, but it is precisely because such a king should only exist in ideals that the people of Britain cannot understand her at all, so they say "King Arthur does not understand people's hearts."

It is a pity that this lofty ideal was not only not praised by the people, but also became a bad criticism against the king.

Britain is like a person suffering from a terminal illness, and Artoria, the doctor, already knows that this terminal disease cannot be cured, but she can use various means to make this terminally ill patient comfortable.

Let the patient die in a sweet sleep with little or no pain, and she almost achieved it through various efforts.

But at this time, a naughty kid (Xiao Mo) who couldn't bear to see her work so hard took out the oxygen cylinder of the patient Britain, and Artoria naturally couldn't accept it.

Then there was the affair between Lancelot and the princess, which even reached the point of defecting. Coupled with the expedition to France at that time, Britain was finally destroyed in the war.

Cui's sad words "The king doesn't understand people's hearts" also caused Saber to fall into crazy self-blame, thinking that she was responsible for causing Britain to fall into war and destruction. In the end, she lingered on the Hill of Sword Fence, unable to ascend to the Seat of Heroes, and was suppressed by her power. Got a bargain.

"..."

The girl's green eyes flickered slightly, and the emotions in her heart were extremely complicated. She was touched that her ideals were finally understood by someone, but also mixed with helplessness that the people could not understand her.

"Once upon a time, a knight who left also said, "King Arthur does not understand people's hearts." Perhaps it is precisely because I have always been aloof that I failed to understand people."

Saber said as if talking to herself.

However, in fact, the knight who said "The king does not understand people's hearts" ended up regretting what he said at that time.

Shirou, who heard Saber's words, stared at the girl's fair and peaceful face and said to her.

"The crown will make the person who wears it taller than others and is a symbol of status. But the real meaning of the crown is: when disaster falls from the sky, I will resist everything for you and always let you see only golden hope."

At this moment, the confusion that originally arose in Saber's heart finally disappeared, replaced by a completely unshakable determination.

"I really wanted to become the ideal king. In order not to make mistakes, I never cared about personal affairs, never revealed my true feelings, and gave up myself in order to fulfill my obligations as a king."

But in the end, he got a tragic ending of betrayal and alienation. Therefore, he failed to gain the love of his courtiers like Iskandar, so the reputation of the Knight King was tarnished.

However, that invisible and most dazzling holy sword is the intertwining of despair and hope, the people's longing for the king, and the eternal oath of victory.

"Saber, even if fate is unavoidable, it does not mean that it is a given. The future is not determined. It is luck, chance, and many unexpected events that ultimately determine the shape of fate. .So, it’s not because you are the King of Knights that your demise is doomed.”

"Yeah...you're right."

Shirou's words made Saber nod.

Once upon a time, the magician Merlin also warned her that if she pulled out the sword in the stone, she would inevitably die.

But even so, she did not hesitate.

Even though she had known the prophecy for a long time, she still firmly embarked on the road to becoming a king, trying her best to reverse the established future.

Although she failed in the end, the girl's determination to try her best to reverse everything despite knowing the future is very admirable.

That's why Shirou decided to say these words to her.

If it is just ordinary comforting words, not only will it not be effective, but it will be annoying.

But Shirou knows everything about her even better than Saber himself, so he can naturally tell her

These words touched the other person's heart.

But in the final analysis, Shirou is just a prophetic master of theory. To truly understand Saber's state of mind, he will probably become a "king" one day.

After looking at Saber who had regained her fighting spirit, Shirou withdrew his gaze and stayed on Irisviel for a few seconds.

He had already guessed who had Emiya Kiritsugu's command spell after his death.

If it weren't for Illya from Germany as a spiritual support, Irisviel would have collapsed long ago.

However, Kuu Maiya is even more miserable. She is the equivalent of Emiya Kiritsugu's tool. Now she is living like a zombie. She just stands next to Irisviel with an expressionless face, as if she doesn't care about anything. The look of concern.

Shirou withdrew his gaze and left Einzbern Castle with Karna.

Looks like that's it for tonight.

----

"D4C, traveling through different worlds"

Chapter 40 How can you eat soft rice?

Even though Shirou's current combat power ranks among the top among heroic spirits, he still has to go to school honestly.

Yesterday he was teaching the King of Heroes to play video games, and today he will be in school.

If Shirou had summoned Gilgamesh, he might have said, "What class are you going to take, you bastard! Why don't you take me to the arcade quickly?"

Although using "suggestion" magic can make him do nothing for a day, there are too many people involved, so it is really troublesome, and it is not necessary.

Yatsdaitai Elementary School.

in math class.

The cute female teacher on the podium was facing away from everyone, holding chalk in her hand and writing math problems on the blackboard.

Da da da……

The sound of chalk touching the blackboard echoed in the slightly quiet classroom.

Shirou was looking at the blackboard intently, but his eyes were focused too close.

In front of his eyes, a light blue light curtain invisible to others quietly unfolded.

[Name: Orihara Shirou]

【Sex: Male】

【Age: 7 years old】

[Height: 134cm→135cm]

【Race: Human】

[Bloodline: None]

[Special ability: "Unlimited sword control"]

【肉体强度:240(10)神经反射:361(10)生命力:334(10)精神力:137(10)】

Apart from growing 1cm taller, there seems to be no change.

A few seconds after the light curtain popped up, Shirou closed it directly after finishing reading.

Then, he lowered his head and looked at the notebook placed on the desk with concentration. He held a pencil in his right hand and recorded the method of solving the problem on it.

patter——

The refill suddenly broke, leaving blackened marks on the white notebook.

Shirou pressed the end of the pencil, and a new refill came out of the tip. Then he held the pen and wrote quickly, pinching the pencil and began to stain the white notebook with dense black.

After a moment.

Shirou looked at his masterpiece, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in satisfaction.

"Caster and Assassin have been dealt with, and there are only four enemies left."

Next, there are four opponents: Archer, Rider, Berserker, and Saber.

One step closer to completing that main quest.

When Shirou was holding his cheek and looking down at his notebook, the math teacher on the podium suddenly looked at him.

"Then, please ask the classmate over there to answer this question."

Shirou was stunned for a moment when he heard these words. He didn't expect that a question would suddenly be asked of him.

Then he looked at the figure drawn on the blackboard.

The math teacher adjusted his glasses and asked Shirou.

"Excuse me, between the two lines A and B, which side is longer?"

Fortunately, we are still in elementary school. If we reach high school, some intellectuals may not be able to answer the questions.

After all, some knowledge is disposable...

"Both sides are the same length."

Shirou replied without hesitation.

"...Well, the answer is correct."

The math teacher was stunned for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, this is a false vision. Some people can see it, and some people can't. It's really interesting that everyone is looking at the same thing, but they get completely different results."

It wasn't until the end of get out of class that Shirou suddenly remembered that the question didn't seem to be from elementary school.

During recess, we could already find that although we were still in elementary school, the prototype of small groups had already appeared at this time.

The upper class and the lower class, brilliant clubs and boring clubs, appearances and grades, students manipulate various 'weapons' to test each other's relationship with each other.

However, Shirou knew that in the seemingly distant future, all these relationships would be reshuffled. As the students experienced three separations and reorganizations, they would be completely separated.

Blended into the big dye vat of society.

Although he knew this, Shirou did not feel any sense of superiority. Perhaps the events he was experiencing now could no longer make his heart feel any fluctuations in this ordinary world.

Rather than joining in and experiencing the immature yet dazzling youth campus life in the season of being chased by changes and uneasiness while rushing forward in a panic, Shirou wanted to see the scenery.

Interpersonal interactions, life experiences, and visions of the future have already been experienced. After losing everything and starting over again, Shirou began to pay attention to things that he had never paid attention to before. Perhaps because of this, he saw more scenery.

The blue sky, the orange-red morning glow, the peaceful dusk, and the starry sky scenery that you can see just by raising your head, Shirou cherishes every second now.

Only these can make Shirou, who has countless memory fragments crammed into his mind, never get tired of it no matter how many times he watches it.

"Orihara, what are you doing? Why are you looking at a bare tree in a daze?"

The child at the next table disturbed Shirou's enjoyment very inappropriately.

"..."

Shirou turned to look at the other man for a few seconds, and then spoke to the latter's confused expression.

"You've been secretly going to the arcade to play The King of Fighters without telling your family these days, right?"

"How did you know--!?"
