Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

He is a human being, not a god, and his abilities are limited. Shirou Emiya is just using his limited power to do the best he can.

Moreover, happiness is not absolute, and sometimes happiness is relative. Two people's wishes for happiness are completely opposite.

If death is happiness for a person, Shirou Emiya will not kill the person who seeks death.

All these things have certain principles. Shirou Emiya wants everyone to be happy, not blind happiness.

Becoming a partner of justice is not for blind justice, but a justice with standards. If anything, this justice is more of Shirou Emiya's own inner justice.

Moreover, even if he really wants to stay here, the door will take him away by force, and he can't give Lip the happiness she wants.

"Lip, this is not true love--"

"True love is equal, it cannot be controlled by only one person, nor is it happiness pursued only for oneself."

There are many philosophical analyses of love, and even different philosophical factions have different interpretations of love, but most of the answers given have one point, that true love is equal.

And Lip's love for Shirou Emiya appears to be above his will, which is also love. It cannot be said that this is not love, it is just a part of love.

"It hurts, it hurts, my heart hurts, isn't this true love? I thought I finally understood--"

"I thought as long as the two of us were together, no one else would hurt me, we knew everything about each other, as long as the senior loved me, I wouldn't have to worry about anything."

"I was obviously thinking about the senior's things, but in fact I was thinking about myself and forgot about the senior himself--"

"This is not true love, right--"

"So, that's why you hate me, and that's why you want to leave me like this."

"I'm sorry for making you look like this"

"I'm sorry for making you say such excessive words"

"I'm sorry for crushing your hand"

"I'm even more sorry for making you gamble your life for me"

As her words finally fell, a burst of white light swept across the entire space.

"The wall is broken!"

And in the maze, in the infinite sword system, the white-haired Sakura watched the door blocking the road break, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.

Senior, it worked——

"I thought there would be some unexpected things, I can only say that it is worthy of Emiya."

On the side, Kiara Sesshōin also smiled, happy about the good news of success.

"Qi, didn't you know that he could do it?"

Andersen scolded Kiara Sesshōin with great disdain.

A person who can even bear [evil], can even defeat servants head-on, and can get the recognition of Leo, Tosaka Rin, Matou Shinji from the bottom of his heart, how could he be trapped here so easily.

At least, Kiara Sesshōin fully believed that Shirou Emiya could cross the maze, go to the center of Mooncell, and reach the location of BB.

"Master! Are you okay!"

Seeing that Shirou Emiya regained consciousness, Jeanne hurriedly helped him up, and was always alert to Lip who had also woken up beside him.

Once there is any sign of trouble, she will attack without mercy and pierce Lip's throat. On the battlefield, being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself. Jeanne, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, fully understands this truth.

The safety of Shirou Emiya is the most important thing.

"Contact Sakura, the matter should have been resolved. I have already felt the wall shattering inside--"

Shirou Emiya shook his head, sobered up, and replied to Jeanne.

"Senior, won't you get rid of me?"

Returning to the position in Lip's heart, she lowered her hands without any resistance. Lip has understood that it is not that the world is too fragile, but that her power is too strong.

She no longer extends her hands to others casually.

But she spoke to Shirou Emiya very nervously, because even if they have broken through the wall, even if Lip has understood her heart, if BB asks her to stop them, she will still attack Shirou Emiya.

The claw arm that can easily crush everything is still a great threat to them.

What's more, Lip has an A+ level aura to cover up. If they are fighting against an enemy like Sesshōin Kiara, White-haired Sakura has no way to resist.

"Live well and try to make more friends."

Shirou Emiya looked at Lip as if to encourage him. If he could truly understand the wishes of others, he might really be able to make friends who would open their hearts to him.

"Senior, you are really gentle. That's why I am————"

"I don't know why I am so happy——"

As Lip whispered, Shirou Emiya and Jeanne also turned into a red ball and left this space. Lip also returned to his real body.

"I'm out——!"

Seeing the red light flashing, Shirou Emiya and Jeanne descended on the barren land of Infinite Sword, White-haired Sakura's hanging heart was also put down.

Although she knew that she had succeeded, Matou Sakura was still very nervous about this technique that she had mastered and practiced countless times but had never actually used on Shirou Emiya.

Because this time, she did not have the assistance of Kiara Sesshōin.

She seemed to be afraid that something would happen to her at that time. If she was not there, there would be no way to break through the wall, so she prepared to let White Hair Sakura be like her, at least able to handle most things with her own strength.

"Your hand! Need to be treated immediately!"

At the moment when Shirou Emiya came out, White Hair Sakura immediately saw his right hand that was still dripping with blood and had been crushed and deformed.

At the same time, with strong hostility, she looked at Lip who had stood up on the side.

"I will no longer hinder you, please, senior, you also have to live well--"

After saying that, Lip left here quickly.

And in a place where no one noticed, Andersen's figure disappeared on the spot.

Chapter 723: The next level that cannot be invaded

On the broken earth, eroded by time, countless broken swords and knives are inserted into the rusty earth at will. The midday sun is extremely hot, burning everything around.

The endless sound of iron hammering constantly echoes in this space.

At the edge of this area, from time to time, there are shadows that appear and approach this side.

But before entering this space for a few steps, several sword arrows suddenly fly in the sky and instantly pierce those shadows.

"Roar-"

"Roar-"

In the distance, with faint roars, hostile programs continue to approach, and then they are torn apart by the sword arrows flying in this world.

And in such a desolate land, in a world filled with swords, a mansion stands in its center.

Isolating surveillance and providing defense is a rather crude defense method at this stage.

With BB's power, if she really wants to break in, this desolate land can't stop her at all.

"Roar——"

"Roar——"

As if testing the defense capability of this area, or consuming Shirou Emiya's strength, more and more hostile programs gathered towards this area, making the roars more and more lively.

This is not a long-term solution, and those flying swords will sooner or later be consumed by those hostile programs.

However, Shirou Emiya did not rush to the next level, but chose to rest for a while, replenish his consumed magic power, and recover from his injuries.

Shirou Emiya had no idea what the next level of the maze would look like, what kind of situation he would encounter, and what kind of enemy he would encounter.

If they went to such a strange place without any preparation, they would be wiped out, and that would be their final outcome.

"Sakura, did you get the surveillance of the next level?"

In the mansion, with the help of Sakura and Kiara Sesshōin, Shirou Emiya's consumed magic power was quickly restored, and the crushed and deformed palm was restored to its original state under the healing magic.

The reason they didn't choose to set off now was that Sakura had not obtained the authority to enter the next level of the maze.

It seemed that there was a very strict defense program that had been hindering the white-haired Sakura.

If the white-haired Sakura obtained the authority to enter the next level, then they would be able to know the situation without entering the next level of the maze.

Even like BB had been able to know their location before, they could also know the location of those Servants in the maze.

They also knew the terrain in advance and found a geographical location that was advantageous to them.

If she had not been able to obtain the authority to enter the next level, Shirou Emiya would not have waited all the time, and would have chosen to explore it with Jeanne to understand what the next level of the maze was like.

They would choose to make further attempts the next day. Now they had no information and urgently needed to explore the next level of the maze.

As for dangers and traps, even if there were these things on the next level, Shirou Emiya would not have stopped there. Any attempt would be risky.

Moreover, White-haired Sakura has a certain degree of protection - she can directly teleport Emiya Shirou and Jeanne back through the functions of the mansion in case of crisis.

I don't know what BB's intention is. No one present can figure out what BB is going to do.

This mansion has almost the same functions as the old school building. Everything that can be done in the old school building can also be done in this mansion.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to face the golden deer that can directly break Jeanne's treasure defense and be unscathed. There was no red wall outside at that time.

Its defense is also top-notch. Unless it reaches the level of Lip and BB, it is almost indestructible.

So this is why the old school building's strong defense was broken by BB.

Because with BB's strength, it is easy to wipe out everyone.

But she is like a game designer, creating a maze, placing enemy programs, and blocking Emiya Shirou one level at a time.

BB did not show up immediately when Lip was defeated. It is very likely that he was concentrating on digging into the core of Mooncell and had no time to manage their affairs for the time being.

Needless to say, they knew that the speed at which they broke through this maze was far beyond BB's expectations, otherwise there would not have been two servants suddenly providing support to Lip at night.

But even so, Emiya Shirou still opened the door to the next floor at an unimaginable speed.

And BB also knew very well that she could not change Emiya Shirou.

Even if all of Emiya Shirou's memories were deleted, refilled with new memories, or even almost completely reset, he would still be able to recall them.

That kind of ideal is no longer simply engraved in the depths of his memory, but is deeply engraved in the depths of his soul. Only when his soul is annihilated will such ideals dissipate together.

"The other party's authority seems to be more powerful. I can't break through her defense. I even said that if I hadn't retreated early, she might have counterattacked. I'm sorry -"

White-haired Sakura looked at Emiya Shirou sitting in front of her, tears bursting from the corners of her eyes, and she expressed her apology with an expression of extreme remorse.

"No need to apologize, Sakura, you have done enough. Next, when we go to the next level, if we encounter any crisis situation, we still need to rely on you to bring us out."

Emiya Shirou looked at Sakura and shook his head. If it weren't for Sakura, he would still be trapped in this mansion, how could he have the idea of ​​blaming her.

"Rul—Lancer and I will go to the next level to explore the way first."

"Okay, although there is no way to use surveillance directly, I will record all the places you pass by, so that the second exploration will not waste time on the places you have passed."

White-haired Sakura quickly replied to Emiya Shirou. These were things they had discussed in advance. She had also considered this situation. It would be better to say that it was an abnormal situation for BB that she still had such high authority.

"Neither Caster nor I have any fighting ability, so we will just stay here to provide support to Mr. Emiya. I can only make some suggestions about the five-stop mentality."

Sesshōin Kiara looked at Emiya Shirou with an extremely ladylike smile that made people feel full of beauty, bowed slightly, and expressed her apology for not being able to fight with him.

"Don't belittle yourself. If it weren't for Ms. Sesshōin, we wouldn't be able to go to the next level. Everyone here is indispensable. Without one person, we wouldn't be able to survive such a difficult situation."

Looking at Sesshōin Kiara expressing his apology, Jeanne waved her hands quickly. They were now a team, and everyone played an extremely important role in it.

"Thanks--"

Sesshōin Kiara looked at Jeanne with a very grateful expression, as if he was moved by his words.

"Please come back safely——"

Looking at Shirou De Emiya who was about to go out, the white-haired Sakura also clasped her hands, just like Jeanne, and began to pray.

Chapter 724 Johannesburg [First update]

Just like in a dungeon, after the door shattered, a blue staircase full of science fiction appeared in front of Shirou Emiya and Jeanne.

That is the staircase leading to the next level. Although you can still see the reef in the distance that looks like the bottom of the sea, it is not a place that Emiya Shirou needs to explore.

After all, outside the maze is the imaginary space where humans cannot survive at all. Even if they reach the edge of the maze, it is impossible to return to the surface of the moon through the imaginary space.
