Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

There was a cry of surprise from the void, and it seemed that it had not expected such a development at all, and it controlled the tentacles on the ground to sweep towards Shirou Emiya's position at the fastest speed.

"Swish!"

The powerful force instantly penetrated the air and penetrated directly into Shirou Emiya's abdomen.

But just as Shirou Emiya said at the beginning, her attention was focused on the infinite sword system that Shirou Emiya was about to unfold.

It was too late to stop Shirou Emiya from rushing into the dark tide.

The dark purple-black substance was like a vine, whipping Shirou Emiya at the moment he was about to touch the dark tide.

The person in the void could only watch Shirou Emiya being hit by the purple-black substance, flying backwards and falling into the dark tide.

Shirou Emiya seemed to have never thought about what would happen if he entered the dark tide, and he jumped into the dark tide without any preparation.

Would his soul be torn into pieces, or would his life be devoured?

Shirou Emiya didn't know, but he believed in that voice, the figure who had fought side by side with him.

Falling --

Falling --

Falling --

As if falling into a bottomless pit, Shirou Emiya began to fall endlessly the moment he jumped into the dark tide.

His sense of direction was lost.

His self-concept also began to gradually disappear.

These darknesses took away more than just Shirou Emiya's vision.

They eroded everything of Shirou Emiya, whether it was his soul or his memory.

These darknesses were like wolves gnawing at Shirou Emiya, wanting to devour everything of him until there was nothing left, not even a bone.

His body was like mud, his heart was like a block of lead.

Time seemed to have passed for tens of thousands of years, and even his hands and feet had begun to decay and lose their strength.

Shirou Emiya could only watch helplessly as everything he had was stripped away.

Are you desperate?

Do you regret it?

If he hadn't believed in that voice, Shirou Emiya wouldn't have reached the end of the road like this without any resistance. Perhaps if he continued to experience a few more reincarnations in that world, he would be able to find other ways to leave there.

However, Shirou Emiya, who was constantly falling in this endless, hopeless dark space, slowly smiled.

He had never despaired.

He had never regretted it.

Even in such a hopeless world, Shirou Emiya still believed in his companions————

"I found you!"

"Zheng——!"

In the endless darkness, several holy lights like meteors passed through the sky, tearing the darkness apart.

A gentle and extremely firm voice sounded from the space in this darkness at this moment.

"Please hold my hand again————!"

The rotten limbs began to move under the extremely firm will.

The dry throat began to move under the tenacious heart.

The fingers began to tremble slightly.

Like an old man on his deathbed, Shirou Emiya stretched out his hand with difficulty.

"Crack!"

The space suddenly shattered.

The darkness began to dissipate.

The light shone.

Like a meteor shower, countless holy beams of light fell from the sky one after another, driving away all the darkness.

The soft light surrounded Shirou Emiya, and a gentle voice also sounded from his side at this moment.

"Finally, I found you--"

The endless fall had stopped, and the only girl who appeared in front of Shirou Emiya was the one favored by the holy light.

Her face was extremely delicate.

She wore a priest's costume and equipped light armor on various parts of her body.

In her other hand, she held a flag.

The flag was rolled up on a long steel handle, with sharp spikes on the top, like a spear-like flag.

Her long blond hair was braided into a pigtail, hanging behind her like a ponytail.

A pair of blue eyes revealed a gem-like brilliance, and also revealed a strong will and unyielding color.

"Ruler——!"

"It's so good to see you again!"

With an expression of excitement and worry, Jeanne held Shirou Emiya's hand tightly, fearing that he would disappear again.

"Thank you——!"

Shirou Emiya also looked directly at Jeanne, and also held Jeanne's hand tightly, thanking Jeanne from the bottom of his heart.

"No! No! No! If it weren't for me, maybe you wouldn't have to endure so much pain!"

Looking at Shirou Emiya's extremely sincere expression, Jeanne quickly denied it. If she hadn't wanted to try to save Shirou Emiya who had already entered the Holy Grail at that time, this would not have happened.

After Joan failed in Amakusa Shiro's time, Jeanne's state also returned to normal, and she separated from Leticia. It was because of this that Jeanne rushed into the Holy Grail with a resolute mentality.

She saw Shirou Emiya's past.

I saw everything that Shirou Emiya went through.

I also saw the future that belonged to Shirou Emiya, and the end of him becoming a Heroic Spirit.

“No one can predict the future, but if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be standing in front of you alive now.”

Emiya Shirou had no intention of blaming Jeanne, because no one knew what the future would be like. Perhaps if he did not have a contract with Jeanne at that time, Mooncell would directly delete him on the grounds that he did not have a command seal.

"Let's not talk too much for now, Jeanne, do you know how to leave here?"

Emiya Shirou did not dwell on that question for too long, and even said that he had never dwelled on such a thing before. The only one who was really dwelling on it was Jeanne.

"This is an imaginary space. Now the curse on you, Emiya, has been released. Now as long as you think about it, you can return to reality in the next moment - emmmm, it should be somewhere in this virtual world."

Jeanne nodded as if she was a little uncertain.

This world actually happened to hit Jeanne's busy point.

It was a bit too high-tech, so that even if Jeanne had the knowledge of this world, there were still many things that she could not understand.

Just like the difficult math problems she had solved back then.

Jeanne still remembers those textbooks that made her anxious.

"Where will I appear then?"

"School building, an old school building, it seems to be an old school building."

Jeanne nodded very affirmatively this time.

"I know, although I still have many questions, let's leave here first!"

"May God bless you"

Then, Shirou Emiya and Jeanne disappeared in this space together.

Chapter 681 Old Health Room

Data flowed in front of Shirou Emiya.

Just like when he first came to this world, he was wrapped in countless flowing data at this time.

The only difference is that Shirou Emiya still had a body at that time, but now Shirou Emiya only has a soul.

-Start, confirmed, welcome back.

The electronic female voice sounded in Shirou Emiya's ears. Is this the scene when those spirit hackers entered?

But I broke in irregularly like this, and I am more like a hacker than those spirit hackers.

-As usual, I have kept you waiting for a long time, Master.

-This is the fictional world of spirits.

——The virtual space created, SE.RA.PH for short, Tsukiumihara Academy.

——Although it is very rude, according to the rules, your value needs to be scanned.

As the electronic sound disappeared, a beam of emerald green light enveloped Emiya Shirou's body, and a sizzling sound was emitted.

Label: ordinary student

Type: Unable to detect its data due to the influence of unknown objects inside

Rating: A

Rating?

Emiya Shirou remembered that Rin Tousaka had talked to him about this matter.

Among all the masters, Leo was the master with the highest rating determined by Mooncell, and the master who was most likely to obtain the Holy Grail.

It can even be said that because of Leo's existence, the possibility of other masters obtaining the Holy Grail has been basically reduced to the extreme.

In Mooncell's judgment, although he was inferior to Rin Tousaka in offensive Code Cast and inferior to Rani VIII in pure calculation ability, Leo's winning rate was still higher when the two of them challenged Leo together.

But now, he seemed to be at the same level as Leo.

But as a Master, he has the power to fight against Servants head-on, and even to defeat Servants, so his rating cannot be too low.

If Shirou Emiya had his own Servants, then his opponent would actually be besieged by two Servants, which is terrifying just to think about.

However, if he had not experienced those things, and even his understanding of projection magic was still the same as before.

I am afraid that his rating would be even lower than that of Hakuno Kishinami.

Shirou Emiya just thought about it for a while and gave a bitter smile.

Hakuno Kishinami had no concept of the Holy Grail War at all, and because of his little experience, he could not provide support to the Servants during the battle, or make good judgments.

What about me? At that time, I also had no concept of the Holy Grail War. If Hakuno Kishinami faced the opponent's Servants, he could only stand there.

At that time, my magic circuits were not fully opened, and I could not provide too much magic power to the Servants.

When facing the enemy, I might even use the Command Spell to stop.

It is even possible that he will step forward when his opponent or his own Servant is in danger.

All of this is a complete hindrance to the Servant in the Holy Grail War.

For this, Shirou Emiya can only be thankful that he has gone through so much.

——Confirmed, sorry to have kept you waiting, Lord Shirou Emiya.

——Wish you a safe journey.

"Normal brain wave activity has been confirmed——!"

"Alpha and beta waves are normal, in an awakened state."

"Senior, can you hear me?"

"Please calm down and open your eyes slowly."

At some point, a nostalgic voice came to his ears.
