Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Emiya knelt on the ground in great discomfort, panting heavily and coughing, with blood constantly flowing from his mouth and dripping onto the ground.

He had no idea what was happening. Just a second ago he had put on the [Evil Spirit Possession] item, and the next second he felt as if he had been hit by countless cars.

His entire body was covered in patches of blue and red.

But Shirou Emiya doesn't understand when he was attacked or when his armor was destroyed.

I have absolutely no recollection of these things.

Even if the attack occurs from the shadows, you should be able to sense it, just like if you suddenly sense something is wrong, you should quickly use [Evil Spirit Possession].

However, before Shirou Emiya could finish thinking, a voice came from beside him.

"save----!"

He was a black-haired boy wearing a school uniform who looked as ordinary as could be.

He lay on the ground, utterly weak, and stretched out his right hand, pleading for help from Emiya Shirou.

On his abdomen, a blazing blue flame burned.

Chapter 224 No Way to Deal With It

"What...is this?"

Yuji Sakai groggily opened his eyes, feeling the pain emanating from his body, as if trying to recall what had happened to him.

He exuded an aura of weakness.

Instead of the white sheet on a hospital bed, a red cloak covered Yuji Sakai.

This confusion didn't last long. Before Shirou Emiya could even speak, Yuji Sakai clutched his abdomen in extreme panic, enduring endless pain, and kept backing away from the hospital bed.

It seemed that the horrific scene was replaying in his mind, and he screamed in extreme trembling.

"Shh!"

Emiya Shirou quickly covered Sakai Yuuji's mouth. Now was not the time to shout. He himself was alright, just an unregistered resident.

But if ordinary people were to discover the burning wounds on Yuji Sakai's body, his days ahead would be far from easy.

"It's all right now."

Emiya Shirou covered Sakai Yuuji's mouth and whispered something.

Yuji Sakai seemed to know that he had come out of that hellish world, and he looked at the unfamiliar man in front of him and nodded quickly.

Facing the man in front of him, who had reddish-white hair, wore a red and white striped shirt, and was about his age, Yuji Sakai no longer looked as nervous as before.

If an adult were sitting in front of him, Yuji Sakai probably wouldn't have calmed down so quickly.

Of course, if Shirou Emiya were a beautiful girl, he would probably be able to calm down much faster.

Unfortunately, it was a man.

However, Yuji Sakai didn't think too much about it. After all, he was already extremely lucky to have survived from that kind of world, and he didn't intend to ask for anything more.

"Thank you!"

Emiya Shirou slowly lowered his hand, and Sakai Yuji, sitting on the hospital bed, thanked Emiya Shirou.

He knew that he had been saved by this man, so Yuji Sakai was naturally extremely grateful to him.

"Squeak—! Squeak—! Squeak—! Squeak—!"

The chirping of cicadas came from outside the window. A considerable amount of time had passed between when Shirou Emiya brought Yuji Sakai to the infirmary and when he woke up.

It was already late at night, and the full moon hung in the sky, illuminating the dark infirmary with its dazzling light.

After all, Shirou Emiya had sneaked in, so it was impossible for him to choose to turn on the lights. There are usually people on duty at school at night, and turning on the lights would undoubtedly tell those on duty that there are still people in the infirmary.

"Is it so late?"

Looking at the crescent moon hanging outside, Yuji Sakai knew that his mother must be very worried, but the pain all over his body told him that he couldn't move at all.

He was just an ordinary high school student, and it was impossible for him to be as agile as Shirou Emiya, even when he was in excruciating pain all over his body.

"Did something happen to you?"

Seeing Sakai Yuuji looking out the window, Emiya Shirou asked a question.

Thanks to his superior physical abilities, Shirou Emiya managed to bring Yuji Sakai to the infirmary without being discovered by the school.

Of course, the most important thing is to use [Demon Possession] to make yourself invisible, so that you can more easily bring the injured Sakai Yuuji to the infirmary.

Fortunately, the school didn't have any surveillance facilities; otherwise, Shirou Emiya would never have been able to reach the infirmary so easily.

The surveillance cameras only emitted extremely terrified sounds at Yuji Sakai, who was suspended in mid-air.

The gatekeeper at the school entrance did notice Shirou Emiya and Yuji Sakai, but the puppets that devoured the power of human existence did not spare the innocent boy.

The dolls had already devoured the gatekeeper's existence power before they even started beating Shirou Emiya.

The gatekeeper at the school gate is just a torch; he won't care about Shirou Emiya suddenly barging in.

After bandaging Yuuji Sakai, Shirou Emiya had done everything he could. Shirou Emiya didn't know how to treat Yuuji Sakai, who was the Torch, so he could only do his best to help him.

So Shirou Emiya placed the red "Holy Remains" that Jeanne d'Arc had given him on Yuuji Sakai's body.

He had no way to entrust the contents of his body to the person in front of him for treatment, so he could only drape the [Holy Remains] he was wearing over him.

As a [Holy Relic], it still has some healing effects, although it cannot compare to [Avalon] inside the body, but this is the greatest effort that Shirou Emiya can make.

He doesn't know how to use healing magic, and whether healing magic will be effective on Yuji Sakai is still a question.

Of course, Shirou Emiya wasn't sure if the [Holy Remains] would have any effect on Yuuji Sakai, but doing it was better than doing nothing.

After seeing that Yuji Sakai's breathing gradually became steady, Shirou Emiya used [Demon Possession] to conceal himself and left the infirmary.

However, his abdomen was still burning with blue-green flames, so the [Holy Remains] did indeed have no effect on Yuji Sakai.

However, instead of taking back the [Holy Remains], he thoughtfully locked the infirmary door from the inside and put a sign on it saying that the teacher was busy.

Although Shirou Emiya didn't know why the infirmary had been without a teacher for so many years.

Having done all that, Shirou Emiya went inside the school and began to investigate.

At this time, Yuji Sakai's class also began to worry because of his disappearance.

The disappearance of a person out of thin air is no small matter.

With that huge crater in the background, it was impossible for the school to hide this matter. Shirou Emiya quickly arrived at Yuji Sakai's classroom.

Aside from some of the torches inside the school, Shirou Emiya found no other information about what had happened before.

Of course, while Shirou Emiya was invisible, he also helped clean various parts of the school, and even secretly offered assistance when delinquents bullied their classmates...

This can only mean that Shirou Emiya simply lost his composure and did these unnecessary things.

Although these things were not superfluous for Shirou Emiya.

Now, Shirou Emiya can only ask Yuuji Sakai, who asked him for help, what exactly happened earlier.

Emiya Shirou himself has a somewhat approachable aura, and he is also Sakai Yuuji's savior. In addition, Sakai Yuuji also needs an outlet to vent the horrifying things he has witnessed.

Therefore, Yuji Sakai told Shirou Emiya everything about his experiences without any reservations.

"Doll?"

Emiya Shirou fell into deep thought; he believed Sakai Yuji's explanation.

Because according to his explanation, it makes sense why he was attacked by countless cars.

But the biggest problem now is, what if such a space appears again?

Those puppets weren't particularly powerful, but he was powerless to resist and would die at their hands sooner or later.

If I hadn't been able to break free from Esdeath's "Mahavatama" back then, I would probably have been the one who died.

He could only be thankful that these dolls did not have the same fighting power as Esdeath.

"call--!"

There was a sound as if something had reignited, and Shirou Emiya felt that Yuuji Sakai's presence in front of him seemed to have become even stronger than before.

Chapter 225 The Lost Child at Midnight (Revised)

"Eh?"

Yuji Sakai lifted the red cloak he was wearing and began to touch his left hand, his left leg, and his abdomen.

At the last moment before the doll was about to strike, Yuji Sakai used all his strength to dodge to the side, thus avoiding having his abdomen pierced.

However, with his disabled body, it was impossible for him to completely dodge the doll's attack. As a result, Yuji Sakai was punched in the abdomen and could only be said to have survived.

But now, all of Yuuji Sakai's injuries have been completely healed in an instant, which seems even more abnormal than the [Avalon] inside Shirou Emiya.

After all, unless it's a fatal wound, Avalon won't heal instantly, but will slowly treat the wounds caused by the trauma.

When Kiritsugu Emiya's heart shattered during his duel with Kirei Kotomine, Avalon was able to heal him instantly. However, when Shirou Emiya fought Archer, he suffered various injuries all over his body but did not receive immediate healing. This proves that Avalon can actually assess the severity of injuries.

Perhaps this is to conserve the magic power contained within; a momentary healing might result in a greater waste of magic power, after all, no one can say for sure.

Emiya Shirou was staring intently at Sakai Yuuji.

"Projection started (Trace on)"

A device resembling a sophisticated contraption appeared in Shirou Emiya's hands.

A sliver of light immediately emanated from it, illuminating all around.

"what is that?"

Yuji Sakai was slightly surprised to see Shirou Emiya suddenly produce such an accessory as if by magic.

"do not know."

Emiya Shirou shook his head with absolute certainty. Although he could project it, he truly did not know what it was.

His ability to analyze the projection is not because Shirou Emiya understands what the power of existence is. After all, the things that Shirou Emiya projects do not contain what they should have, but can only perform the abilities that they should have.
