Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 5: Daddy Illya (Newbies please read!)

5. Illya has a father
After confirming Gilgamesh's death with his own eyes, Shirou, who had been pushing himself to the limit, finally reached the limit of his physical body.

The 'three-phase projection' state, which had long been overloaded and was maintained by the belief of 'killing Gilgamesh and saving Miss Musashi', disappeared. Before the boy's body fell, Musashi took the first step to hold him in his arms.

Musashi glanced at Gilgamesh's body, finished him off with a blow to confirm that he was dead, then took the seriously injured Shirou and left this dangerous place.

From Musashi's perspective, this golden guy came with the purpose of killing Shirou, so he couldn't be sure whether there were other threats to Shirou around.

Saving Shirou's life has become Musashi's top priority now - not only because of the cliché reason of her own preference, but also because as a swordsman, she is eager to compete with Shirou who has truly grown up!

For a swordsman obsessed with martial arts, there is no opponent more 'delicious' than Shirou.

Musashi will definitely do his best to help the current Shirou survive - and become stronger and grow.

Shirou, who had fainted, was unable to see with his own eyes the new text flashing on his retina.

[Faced with this situation, what is Emiya Kiritsugu's choice? (A very critical point of disagreement)]

[1. Catch up with Musashi and Shirou (according to the baseline route, Shirou obtains Avalon)]

[2. After hesitating, he thought Shirou had been rescued (and felt that he was not an ordinary person who was simply dragged into it), so he left (returned to Einzbern to find Illyasviel)]

【1D2=2】

This is a major storyline change, so drastic that the book might need to be renamed "Shirou Miyamoto Is Challenging FGO".

According to the original plot, the story that happened in this place should be the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, when Emiya Kiritsugu ordered his servant Saber Altria to destroy the contaminated Holy Grail.
Because of this action, the sludge of "all the evil in this world" accumulated inside the Holy Grail overflowed, turning the center of Fuyuki City into a sea of fire. Later, Shirou was adopted by Emiya Kiritsugu as a survivor, so he was named "Emiya Shirou".

The name is actually secondary.

The sludge, which is called "all the evil in this world", can be regarded as super-dense magic to a certain extent, but the curse and malice contained in it make it impossible for most people to use it.

If an ordinary person comes into contact with it - or even just touches it - let alone utilizing this energy, even if he does not die on the spot, his lifespan will be greatly shortened and he will not live long.

Driven by a variety of accidental coincidences, Shirou unconsciously used the black mud as magic power and forcibly launched a super projection magic that far exceeded the upper limit of his physical body. He could still barely hold on while the projection state was maintained, but once the projection state ended, all the side effects would be returned double.

In the 'original plot development', Emiya Shirou would be rescued by Emiya Kiritsugu as an ordinary victim, and in order to save Shirou's body that was severely damaged by the mud, Emiya Kiritsugu buried the legendary treasure - 'King Arthur's Scabbard' in his body.

In other words, under normal circumstances, this 'scabbard' is the key to saving Shirou's life!
But now the world line has changed.

Because of Shirou's extraordinary performance, Kiritsugu, who was observing secretly, did not regard him as an "ordinary person who was involved", but regarded Shirou, who was able to use such powerful "magic", as a magician.

As everyone knows, most magicians in the Type-Moon world are crazy. Although there are few murderers, they are basically like online fiction characters who have no psychological burden to kill people if necessary. If you kill 100 out of 100, you may kill the wrong person, but if you kill 99 out of 100, you will almost certainly miss them.

As a result, due to a chain reaction, Emiya Kiritsugu did not contact Shirou, and had no reason to stay in Fuyuki City any longer.
Emiya Kiritsugu left Fuyuki and Japan with King Arthur's scabbard 'Avalon' and headed to Germany to look for his last bond in this world, his and Irisviel's daughter, Illyasviel von Einzbern.

Let’s not talk about Illya for now.

Without the Avalon scabbard provided by Emiya Kiritsugu, Shirou would be in trouble.

Although Gilgamesh was miraculously defeated, Shirou's own life-and-death crisis was not resolved, but even worsened.

Miss Musashi came to Shirou and picked up the boy before he fell to the ground. Although she herself was temporarily exhausted because of the power of 'Kurigara', she still tried her best to use the little remaining 'energy' to help Shirou regulate his chaotic physical condition as much as possible.

Musashi shot Gilgamesh twice more in the forehead, and stabbed Gilgamesh twice on both sides of his chest with his sword. After confirming that Gilgamesh was dead, he took Shirou away from this place of trouble, and left the city of Fuyuki which was still shrouded in the flames of all the evil in this world.

The most urgent task is to ensure the life safety of the boy in her arms!

Musashi: “.”

Musashi was well aware of this, but in the mind of the female swordsman who was carrying the boy quickly away from the dangerous environment, at this moment, the only scene that occurred to her was the scene just now.

He could still vividly remember Shirou pinning Gilgamesh in hand-to-hand combat.

Gilgamesh is indeed not a swordsman who pursues martial arts, but this does not mean that his ability in hand-to-hand combat is poor.

Musashi didn't know that Shirou had just used projection magic to obtain her own 'panel', but she knew that if she had been in Shirou's position just now - Miss Musashi herself would not have been able to achieve that kind of effect on Gilgamesh in hand-to-hand combat.

Especially, the 'seeing blow' that really opens up the situation and determines victory or defeat.

Musashi recognized the moves Shirou used, they were his own 'Niten Ichiryu' technique.

Therefore, Ms. Musashi would naturally come to the following conclusion:

This young man must be a descendant of the Nitenichi in this world, right? Maybe his last name is Miyamoto, and he might even be the descendant of Miyamoto Musashi in this world! If I check with him, maybe we can find out whether we are related?

Miss Musashi herself did not found any school of martial arts - in fact, although when mentioning Niten Ichiryu, most people would take it for granted because of the stereotype that this is the school founded and passed down by Miyamoto Musashi, the actual situation is not the case.

The person who actually founded the school and passed it down was actually Musashi's adopted daughter Miyamoto Iori.

However, Miss Musashi has been to many worlds and has encountered many situations where people exclaimed, "What? Miyamoto Musashi is a female? Isn't he a male?" She also knows that female Musashi like herself seems to be a very rare thing.

Miss Musashi finds it hard to imagine herself getting married, having children, or raising children, but it’s not strange that other male Musashis have offspring, right?
In this case, Miss Musashi must save this boy.

although
Every time the image of Shirou facing Gilgamesh in a fierce hand-to-hand fight, in which he used the "preemptive counterattack before the opponent made a move" - a magical "see-through" skill that even Musashi himself could not do, a strong dark emotion would surge in Musashi's heart:

I can't wait to fight, I want to fight with Shirou's sword
This is Miss Musashi's bad habit. When she meets a valuable warrior, she will have an irresistible urge to "kill the opponent". This urge does not even distinguish between good and evil, or between friends and foes.

Many people say that she is a born executioner and murderer.

But the difference between Musashi and some inhumane executioners who do not regard evil as evil is that she is able to understand her own shortcomings and exercise restraint and patience.

(At least wait until he grows up and reaches his prime)

".Speaking of"

Musashi suddenly remembered something. The scene was very anxious and chaotic so she didn't think much about it at the time, but.
"How does he know my name?"

Recognized me as Miyamoto Musashi? No, how could he recognize me? Besides, isn't Miyamoto Musashi usually a man?

Shaking his head, Musashi drove away the random thoughts in his mind: Maybe he had met him by chance during one of his previous time travels, and he knew his name?

Because of his rich experience in time travel, Musashi came up with the answer in his own mind.

Compared to all these trivial matters, the most urgent priority now is to save Shirou's life.

Where to go
[In order to heal Shirou's injuries, Miss Musashi took Shirou there.]

[1. Einzbern Castle in the suburbs]

[2. The Tosaka Family Residence]

[3. Matou Family Residence]

【4. Ryudong Temple】

5. Hospital

[6/8/9, Emiya's residence? (Maybe we'll run into him)][7, Church]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=2】

Although Miss Musashi's common sense is basically that of ancient people, due to her rich experience in time travel, she has some basic common sense from prehistoric times to the cosmic age.

In modern society, it is common sense to go to the hospital if you are injured or sick.

But
Musashi couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Can an ordinary hospital treat this kind of injury of the boy? Even if it can be treated, it would be even more troublesome if it attracted his enemies and a conflict broke out in the hospital.

Miss Musashi probably habitually and automatically imagined for Shirou a character like a "gangster who is being hunted down".

It seems that the misunderstanding cannot be resolved anytime soon.

However, Miss Musashi also knows that injuries caused by mysterious power are best treated with mysterious power.

Musashi is not a magician, but because of her rich experience in time travel, she once studied with an unknown Onmyoji boy (or maybe girl) named Abe Haruaki for a period of time.

Qingming once made a sharp comment on Musashi: "You are not a magician, but you can use most basic techniques by feeling. The sword in your hand can deal with most monsters, but you have no idea how a simple slash can be effective against ghosts. You are living in your own worldview, right?"

Musashi didn't quite understand what the young man (or girl) Qingming meant, nor did he learn any magic from him (because Musashi felt that he was just a samurai, not a magician), but Qingming was still kind enough to help her think of a way -

Seimei taught Musashi how to make some talismans
Although from a common sense point of view, people who are not magicians cannot make talismans even if they can use talismans, but Musashi did not know this. She felt that even if she did not understand talismans, as long as she could draw one by following the pattern, it would definitely have a certain effect - because she felt so, she was able to do it.

Of course, due to the limitations of her self-awareness, even if she could draw spells for spiritual beings or healing effects, their power would ultimately be limited.

Qingming was kind enough to make up another lie. He was to teach Musashi a method to strengthen the effect of the talisman: find the nearby spiritual vein node and use the power of the spiritual vein to strengthen the effect of the talisman.

What? You're asking how to use the spirit veins to strengthen the spell effect? What are the specific casting operations of this process?

Qingming felt that he could not teach Musashi, so he might as well not teach her. He fooled her and said that as long as she reached the spiritual vein node and used the talisman as usual, the talisman he taught Musashi would automatically absorb the spiritual vein energy to enhance the effect. As for the specific situation, it would all depend on Miss Musashi's feeling.

To sum up Miss Musashi's words with Harumi's words: "It would be a waste of the eyes that God gave me to not become a Onmyoji (magician) because I 'feel' like I'm just a ronin and therefore can't be a big shot in the Onmyoji Ryo."

Musashi held the unconscious Shirou in his arms and sensed the flow of nearby spiritual veins. After determining several nodes where the spiritual veins converged, he randomly selected one from them based on his sense.

——The Tousaka Family Residence
Generally speaking, there will be a magician's mansion on an excellent magic node, which serves as a symbol of "holding the management rights of the local spirit vein."

When he first entered the Tohsaka mansion, Musashi thought about whether he should catch a magician to help.

But the Tousaka mansion was large and empty. Although there were some signs that people had lived here recently, it was eerily quiet at this moment.

Since he couldn't kidnap anyone to help, Musashi had no choice but to do it himself.

Taking off Shirou's shirt and biting her fingertips, Musashi skillfully drew the spell that Seimei taught her on Shirou's body with blood, activated it by feeling, and used the power of the underground spiritual veins of the Tohsaka family to heal Shirou's injuries.

[Ms. Musashi tries to use the simple healing talisman she knows to heal Shirou's injuries at this time]

[However, the simple spells that Musashi knows are specifically used to treat external injuries. Shirou's current injuries are not simply external injuries. Theoretically, the probability of Shirou surviving this disaster by relying solely on this level of spells is non-existent.]

[But because of Musashi's "Sky Eye" effect, as long as she thinks it is possible to do something, no matter how low the probability is, there will always be a certain probability of success.]

[Difficulty: 90]

[The effect of Musashi's 'Healing Charm by Feeling': 1D100=48]

【48＜90】

Failed.

Should we say that this is not unexpected? After all, the probability is very low.

But Musashi will not give up just like that. No matter whether Shirou is his "descendant" or not, Musashi will try his best to keep him alive, even if it is just to be able to duel with him when he grows up!

[No matter what, Musashi wants Shirou to survive]

[1. There may be something useful in the Tosaka family's mansion (additional judgment on whether Musashi can find it)]

[2. Musashi found a useful magic gift set at Tohsaka's house]

[3. Musashi takes Shirou to other spiritual vein nodes to seek (kidnap) the help of the magician (go to Einzbern Castle)]

[4. Go to the Matou family residence]

[5. "Do you need help?" A girl's voice pretending to be calm came (Tousaka Rin is in the Tousaka family mansion at this time)]

[6/7, "It looks like you need my help." Kotomine Kirei appears]

[8. Go to the Emiya Residence]

[9. Miss Musashi and Shirou triggered the ability to travel through time and space, and they just ran to Chaldea? ]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=5】

Just when Musashi was worried—

".Do you need help?"

The voice of a girl who was timid but whose owner was obviously pretending to be calm suddenly emerged.

Musashi herself was shocked: She didn't even notice that there was someone here before?

Subconsciously reaching for the hilt of the sword at his waist, Musashi looked towards the source of the sound vigilantly.

It was a girl, who looked about the same age as Shirou, with black hair, blue eyes, and delicate features. She seemed to be mixed-race, and her twin ponytails made this girl particularly adorable.

At this moment, Musashi was completely focused on "saving Shirou". She did not show her joy when she saw the beautiful girl or boy as usual: "Magician?" She asked the girl cautiously, ready to take action at any time.

"magician?"

Unexpectedly, the girl, Toosaka Rin, actually replied with a question at first, but when she found that Musashi in front of her treated her as a 'magician', she suddenly became confident and repeated emphatically:

"Magician! That's right! I'm a magician! I'm the head magician of the Tousaka family! How can a magician be afraid in his own territory? Get out of the way! This man seems to need help. Since he is in the Tousaka family's territory, I, the head of the Tousaka family, cannot just stand by and watch him die - that would be too shameful!"

Musashi: “.” Although she didn’t quite understand, Musashi silently put away her hostility. Her intuition told her that the little girl in front of her seemed to be a good person.

He's an old tsundere as soon as he opens his mouth.

(PS: This part about Musashi and Seimei is my own creation, not the original content, please don’t take it as popular science
In the original work, Musashi only mentioned that she knew some simple techniques, but she didn't say who taught her, or how she learned it. There was not even a plot where Musashi used techniques directly, but she did mention it once. My secondary creation here is a secondary creation plot added for the sake of plot completeness)
