I Will Eventually Become a Partner of Justice

At around six o'clock in the evening, at this time, it was almost completely dark.

There are many people who go out for a walk.

Shirou also met many acquaintances.

There is Merlin who is being hunted down by Kai, because Merlin pretended to be him to catch a woman, and as a result, he was murdered.

There was also the Kiritsugu family out for a walk, saw him and greeted him.

There are also teacher Skaha, classmate Guinevere, sister-in-law Morgan Le Fay, friend Gilgamesh, netizen Solomon... Even in the temple, there are enlightened beings who are turned into hosts, and they are talking with Liu Dong Yicheng. With incense money.

This made the fist under Shirou's sleeve clenched tighter and tighter.

Not angry, but...

"Dad, Dad." Mordred suddenly pulled Rashirou's hand, and Shirou came back to his senses.

She pointed to the cart toy dealer not far ahead, and asked eagerly, "I want to play with that... can I?"

Shirou knelt down, touched her little head, and said softly, "Of course."

"Thank you dad, I like dad the most."

Mordred smiled happily, and kissed Shirou's right cheek.

Shirou was stunned on the spot.

After regaining consciousness, he closed his eyes for a long, long time before paying the toy dealer and renting a toy cart.

Mordred was sitting on the cart, while Shirou and Arturia were pushing the cart while holding on to the armrest.

"Let's go!" Mordred said with a smile.

Shirou and Artoria pushed her forward.

They walked through the road after another, and passed the empty subway station.

Shirou stopped on the spot, there was no one there, only the radio was playing: "The next train, train L-33147, will arrive at seven o'clock."

"What's the matter, dear?" Arturia turned her head and looked at Shirou with concern.

Shirou pursed his lips, raised his palm, pointed to the empty subway station, and asked, "Why is there no one in this subway station?"

Artoria said softly: "Because no one wants to leave this city."

Hearing this, Shirou's breath sank.

"You won't leave either. You won't leave me, Mordred, Erquite, Sakura, Tachika, and everyone else, right?" Artoria asked aloud.

She looked at Shirou almost beggingly, hoping for an answer.

However……

Shirou turned his head away and didn't answer.

Artoria lowered her head.

"Father, mother?" Mordred turned to look at Shirou and Arturia with a strange expression on his face.

"It's nothing." Arturia showed a gentle smile again.

She pushed the cart, farther and farther away, Shirou stopped on the spot.

"Where's Dad?" Mordred asked.

"Papa will follow." Artoria said softly.

Shirou stood there, trembling all over.

He turned his head, looked at the empty subway station, and looked at the display screen of that shift.

The last bus is at eleven o'clock in the evening.

He turned his head, pursed his lips, and quickly followed Mordred and Artoria.

Back in the house.

It was late at night, and Alquette stayed at home.

Several people played a few board games happily, and then returned to their rooms after good night.

Mordred couldn't sleep, and asked Shirou to tell her a story.

A child's waywardness, but Shirou did not refuse.

He sat on Mordred's bedside, holding a storybook, and told the story of the ugly duckling.

"No. I don't want stories about the ugly duckling," Mordred cried.

"Why?" Shirou asked.

Mordred cried, "The ugly duckling is a child abandoned by swan parents. I don't want to hear that story. Because, because, neither father nor mother will abandon me. I don't want to hear that story, papa, papa, you Let's change the story."

Shirou's hand holding the storybook was trembling.

He opened the storybook, looking for a rather warm story, and told Mordred.

Gradually, Mordred fell asleep.

Shirou closed the storybook and got up to leave, only to find that Mordred's small palm was holding on to his sleeve, as if he was holding on to someone who would never come back, holding it very tightly. very tight.

Shirou spent a lot of strength, and then carefully pulled her palm off, and stuffed it into the bed.

"Dad...Dad..." Mordred muttered.

Shirou glanced at Mordred's sleeping face, turned his back, and left.

He walked towards the door.

Someone asked softly behind him, "Are you leaving?"

Shirou turned his head and glanced, it was Arturia.

She was wearing white pajamas, looking at Shirou gently.

Shirou was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Why did you leave? Don't you like it here? Can't you... stay here, dear?" asked Arturia.
