Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

A girl who cannot even lift her arms due to abuse often asks the other person in the elevator to "please press the button for me" - this is such a relationship between the two that is infinitely closer to strangers.

However, in the minds of young girls, this neighbor who is willing to press the elevator button for her may be a more trustworthy existence than her parents.

Because of this——

When the girl's mother wanted to pull her to commit suicide, the girl escaped in a bloody state and sought help from her neighbors.

The girl knocked on the neighbor's door again and again, eager to get help from the other party.

However——"Youth A", who thought that this time was the usual abusive behavior, was indifferent to it.

That's all other people's business.

It's something that has nothing to do with you.

No matter how many times he knocked on the door, he never paid attention.

Even so, the door kept getting knocked.

Because for the escaped girl, the only person she can rely on is "Youth A".

However, although "Youth A" heard the girl's cries of grief - he ignored the girl's life.

He even turned up the volume on the TV and closed himself in his own world.

No matter what, it is ultimately someone else’s business.

As a result, the young girl was betrayed by the person she trusted the most.

The couple's bodies were found the next day. But for some reason, only the girl disappeared.

While leaving traces of bleeding that were obviously lethal, she suddenly disappeared.

The sounds of abuse disappeared, but instead, "Youth A" was troubled by knocks on the door late every night.

Then one night, "Youth A" finally couldn't help but opened the door, and saw a girl wearing a red hood standing outside the door - raising her bloody face and saying:

"Brother, please press the button for me."

This is what happened to Young A.

In this regard, Emiya Shirou and Kallen did not make any comments. After all, there are only a few people like them who are willing to risk their lives to help others.

Here, the vast majority of people are like Young A, who do not want to be associated with troublesome things, and most of the time they treat these things with indifference.

This cannot be explained by right or wrong, and he will not point at the young man in front of him from a moral perspective. This is a social problem, not his personal problem.

"Actually, I have been disturbed by her for almost half a year. If it continues, I think I will try to leave here and see if I can escape."

As he said this, Young A's expression was obviously full of decadence. Anyone who experienced such a thing would not be in better spirits.

"Haven't you tried to find a church?"

Although the Church is indeed the same as the Magic Association, things in the other world are hidden, and normal people have no idea what the Church can do.

But under normal circumstances, when encountering such mysterious things, the first thing to do is to go to the clergy, even if it is just for peace of mind.

"I've been there, but Father Kotomine came here and said he didn't feel the devil's breath. Then he left. I went to find him again, but he didn't give any response."

Then, Emiya Shirou looked at Kallen who was standing aside.

"Father Kotomine is an excellent agent, and he is very good at fighting."

"But he is not a professional exorcist, and he cannot feel demons like me. Father Kotomine saw that he had no signs of being possessed by demons, and he did not see traces left by demons here, so naturally he would not Too much attention.”

Kallen shook her head. If anyone in the Holy Church could easily detect demons, then she would not become a demon detection machine.

"Of course, he should be grateful that he wasn't possessed by a demon at that time."

"Why?"

Emiya Shirou asked quietly.

"The Magic Association has never treated ordinary people as human beings. Don't think that the Holy Church will treat ordinary people as human beings."

"If you encounter someone possessed by a demon, most of the time you won't solve it as gently as I do. Most likely, you will directly deal with the demon along with the possessed ordinary person."

"The Holy Church only needs to clean up the demonic heretics. As for how many ordinary people died in the process, that's not what they care about."

Neither the Magic Association nor the Holy Church are kind organizations.

Therefore, at that time, young man A was judged by Father Kotomine to be possessed by a demon. It was very likely that he would use baptismal chants to rub him against the wall, directly destroying the demon both physically and spiritually.

"So is there a solution now?"

"I don't know. He is not possessed by a demon. My exorcism methods are of no use to him. What's more, I am only the exorcist's assistant. In this situation, you are the exorcist."

"I'll just be a demon detector."

Kallen waved her hand, then took a few steps back, came to the corridor, and made way for Shirou Emiya, indicating that there was nothing she could do.

Maybe the more powerful exorcists of the Holy Church would have the means to solve it, but it's impossible for them to take action for this young man A.

As for Emiya Shirou's current situation, he is similar to Kurosaki Ichigo who has obtained the power of death. He can exorcise demons, but he can only exorcise them by force.

Those who play with technology and strategy need professional guidance.

"Is there no way?"

Listening to their conversation, Young A's expression became even more decadent. Can he just escape? But is running away really useful?

"roar--!"

The cold wind howled, and a sharp stinging sound mixed with a monster-like roar came from the corridor.

I saw a dark-black creature with a starfish on its head and countless tentacles. Its body was covered with scales and its forelimbs had soft claw-like things. It was heading towards the corridor at an extremely terrifying speed. Karen jumped on top.

If there was any short word to describe this creature, it would be a sea devil.

"when!"

Several red strips of cloth emerged from the cloak behind Kallen, trying to tie up the monster in front of her, but it was too late, the roaring sea monster had already appeared in front of her.

She doesn't have the terrifying combat reaction speed of Shirou Emiya. Rather, apart from her special physique, she is just a normal girl.

But at this moment, no matter how fast Emiya Shirou was in the room, there was no way to stop it from devouring Kallen.

but----

"Bang--!"

"roar--!"

The sea demon's head was penetrated instantly, and in just a blink of an eye, the sea demon turned into nothingness and disappeared into the air.

The sound of gunpowder smoke rang out in the room, and a pitch-black pistol with a blade on the tip appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand, pointing in front of Kallen with great accuracy.

"It's really interesting, but it's a pity that I can't leave this child to you for the time being!"

At this moment, from the window of this room, a clear voice like a pechoin came.

It was a woman with long purple hair and purple pupils, with a crazy-looking smile on her lips.

"magician?"

Although there was confusion in his tone, the dark muzzle was already pointed at the girl with long silver hair.

On his shoulders was Young A, who had fallen into a coma at some point. It was probably that Shirou Emiya was abducted at the moment when the sea demon attracted his attention.

"Correct answer, but no reward!"

The next moment, the girl fell back without any hesitation, and she fell directly downwards with the young man A in tow.

"What is her purpose in kidnapping such an ordinary person?"

Kallen, who rushed to the window with Shirou Emiya, looked at the two people who had fallen to the ground intact, and couldn't help but make a sound.

Apart from the fact that young man A is entangled by the evil spirit, there is nothing special about him. If a magician needs experimental materials, any ordinary person can do it.

Why would it be him, and risk fighting another magician and member of the Templar Church.

"Hold me tight!"

But while Kallen was still thinking, Shirou Emiya's words had reached her ears.

And subconsciously, Kallen, who was standing next to Emiya Shirou, put her hands around his neck.

"Wait, what are you going to do?!!!!!!"

"call--!"

Mixed with the whistling wind and Kallen's wailing, Emiya Shirou's figure flashed through the air and jumped down.

"The magician is already prepared. Even if you can withstand such a jump, I can't bear the impact!!"

If it weren't for Emiya Shirou's treatment, her physical fitness would probably be inferior to that of an ordinary person, but even if she recovered, she would not be able to withstand the impact of falling from the building.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Amidst the powerful sound of kicking the ground, Shirou Emiya suddenly stepped on the wall under his feet. His body turned into an afterimage. He ducked and stepped hard. His whole body turned into bullets and appeared on the roof of a certain house. .

"So why are you taking me? Can't you just catch up by yourself?"

Looking at her slightly messy silver hair, Kallen knew that she had now boarded this pirate ship and there was no way she could get off.

"You should be able to feel the approximate position of the other party——"

Emiya Shirou did not answer Kallen's question immediately, but first asked her about the location of the magician.

"I have the constitution of a tortured psychic, not a tortured magician. How can I detect the magician's location!"

Kallen hung in front of Shirou Emiya and retorted, how could she know the location of the magician who left.

"Wait! What do you mean? But hasn't the spiritual barrier reaction on him disappeared-"

As soon as he finished speaking, Karen seemed to feel something and pointed in the direction to his left.

"The evil spirit is still following him, why?"

He ran so fast before, and now he chases after him immediately. If it is a pure evil spirit, it will not linger on a person. It is what an evil spirit should do to harm more people and absorb more people's life force.

At this point, there is another doubt. This evil spirit has been pestering him for almost half a year. Apart from his mental breakdown, his body is still in a very healthy state, and it doesn't look like he was possessed at all. The appearance of being haunted by evil spirits.

But these questions can only be explored in detail after stopping the magician.

"It's up to you to guide the way from now on!"

"Wait a minute! I can only sense the general direction. If I can know the exact location, then I'm not just a demon detection machine, but a search machine!"

"That's enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emiya Shirou's figure turned into a phantom again, speeding towards the forest on the right.

In just an instant, the figure of the other party walking through the woods had already caught the eyes of Emiya Shirou and Kallen.

With his current heroic speed, it would be difficult for a normal magician to outrun him.

"Tsk——! Are you catching up? It looks really tricky!"

But there was no hint of anxiety in his tone.

"Where?"

"Isn't it just in front of my eyes——"

Before she finished speaking, Karen immediately realized something.

"right!"

"call out--!"

Several swords with light green handles instantly cut through the atmosphere, turned into sword arrows, produced extremely terrifying sonic booms, and shot away violently.

"Are you being held hostage by an abused psychic? I really underestimate you!"

The original running figure turned into an illusion and disappeared. In the originally deserted forest on the right, the figures of the silver-haired girl and the young man A gradually appeared.

"Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water——"

Emiya Shirou ignored the other party's words, but whispered softly, and the scattered swords around him suddenly shattered like glass.

The silver-haired girl was frowning, sensing the magic power fluctuations around her, and being wary of the impact of these swords, but nothing happened.

It seems that these swords are just disposable items. After the shooting is completed, these swords will break into pieces and disappear.
