Adroson looked at Shirou Emiya and said with a smile.
"It's a good thing not to admit defeat...probably a good thing."
Annuo didn't know what to say either.
"But you said - that shield is the round table?"
Adroson glanced at Annuo.
"Yes, and that is also the weapon of my grandson, Galahad."
"I didn't expect that Shirou would actually project this thing at this time."
Annuo sighed softly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or some other emotion in his tone.
It wasn't actually a surprise to him that Shirou projected something related to the Knights of the Round Table. After all, in the past few days since he was summoned, Shirou Emiya would always ask something about the Knights of the Round Table - legends have always been attractive, especially
It’s when this legend appears around you.
Boys all like to listen to knight's stories, kingdoms, kings, dragons, knights, everything seems so old-fashioned and novel.
——Shirou, this child was influenced by himself after all.
This is...a good thing.
Anno was able to confirm this fact.
Kiritsugu adopted a good child, and this was a fact that he was sure of.
"I heard that you plan to go to Europe to look for traces of your parents?"
This time it was Annuo who asked Adrosson questions.
"Ah, ah hmm."
Adroson was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Annuo to ask this question, and nodded.
"Mr. Anno should know what happened to my father and mother... I want my mother to return to the Seat of Heroes."
"I want to resurrect my mother."
Adroson said bluntly.
"My mother is a great woman... She is not only an excellent daughter, wife, and mother, but also an artist whose talents are not inferior to those of my father. Many of my father's artworks were created under my mother's advice.
, even many works should be said to be the joint work of two people."
"She also studied anatomy with her father, and she also led the clothing innovation in Florence... Her name should not be lost in history."
"I understand where you're coming from...but it's never going to be easy."
Anno patted Adrosson on the shoulder.
"But, go ahead and do it."
"Your father will look forward to your success."
"Um."
Adroson nodded seriously.
...
The sun in the sky has begun to tilt.
"--Why?"
Emiya Shirou punched the holy sword in his hand on the ground, panting a little weakly.
But his eyes were still bright, looking at Archer standing opposite, but his body was also scarred.
"Why would I want to knock you down?"
He still asked this question.
"Why...why do you want to fight me?"
"Well--"
Supporting his body with the Holy Sword White, Emiya Shirou stood up.
Although weak...
Although the magic power in the body has been weakened to the extreme.
The exhaustion caused by yesterday's battle had not been fully rested and replenished, and such a battle broke out today. Shirou Emiya should have been so tired that he collapsed on the ground.
But he still stood, as if he wasn't going to give up.
"You obviously already know the answer."
Archer's body swayed slightly, and his face was smiling, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.
Emiya Shirou fell silent.
"Such justice, Emiya Shirou..."
"Are you really determined to practice it again?"
"Partner of justice - you guy, do you really understand the meaning of this word!"
Archer pointed a dagger at Shirou Emiya as if making trouble unreasonably, and asked loudly.
"Then, do we have to give up?"
Emiya Shirou forced a smile on his face.
A slightly sarcastic smile.
"The things I have experienced have made me who I am today. What kind of things have you experienced...to become like this?"
"...Archer, Emiya...Shirou."
Emiya Shirou and Emiya Shirou looked at each other.
"...justice, huh?"
A partner of justice——?
Maybe it's really just unreasonable - Archer just felt suffocated when he heard this word.
Not angry, just...
It's just a little bit unwilling and a little bit angry.
But since it’s my former self, if it’s my former self——
Then that answer should be given.
"Justice is hell..."
He raised his head.
There seemed to be something surging in his body, the sky around him began to change, and everything around him was changing.
This is - inherent barrier.
The unique barrier called [Unlimited Sword System] belongs to Emiya Shirou's unique barrier.
"Hell, so what."
"Even so, I will become...a partner of justice!"
--boom!!!
It was like a big bell roaring, and Emiya Shirou's expression became a little painful.
The magic power fluctuations belonging to the inherent barrier that came from Archer also surged in Emiya Shirou's body.
He gritted his teeth and looked at himself opposite.
"I will prove it to you, prove it to everyone...!"
"My justice, what on earth is it!"
Zheng——
boom!!!
"Well--"
The huge white lightsaber was blasted at Archer. Archer knew he was invincible and avoided it to the side, but he was still affected by the white holy light and was thrown away.
"Having gained... such power, you are indeed qualified to speak your own justice..."
"But, can you guarantee that your justice will not change no matter what circumstances you encounter, no matter what circumstances...?"
The scene behind Archer has completely changed.
Huge gears were scattered across the sky. Dragging his heavy body, he pulled out a sword from the sword mound, shaking it and looked at Shirou Emiya.
"I said it."
Behind Emiya Shirou, there was also another scene.
There are not so many gears in his sky, and the colors are brighter.
But just like Archer's inherent barrier, there are countless swords at his feet.
"As long as I am alive, I will practice my justice, even if I am dead, I will still do it."
"No one can shake me...not even myself."
Emiya Shirou looked at Archer with seriousness in his eyes.
Archer looked at Shirou Emiya with a hint of regret.
justice.
It is precisely because of justice...
But, if he hadn't said such words, he would still be Shirou Emiya - would I still be Shirou Emiya?
No matter what he has experienced, no matter how different his life has been until now, at the moment Emiya Shirou was rescued from the ruins by Emiya Kiritsugu——
