Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Although his ultimate goal was the continuation of humanity.

"Stop the Holy Grail War? That coincides with some of my thoughts—"

Leo looked at Shirou Emiya with an approving gaze.

Because he could sense that Shirou Emiya thought the same way he did: if the Holy Grail continued to exist, then war would continue to break out on the ground.

Almost no one can resist the allure of the "omnipotent wish-granting machine".

He participated in the Holy Grail War in order to end all the fighting.

"If only I could have met you on Earth. It's such a pity that someone as outstanding as you died in the Holy Grail War—"

Leo's expression was filled with sadness; he truly regretted that Shirou Emiya had participated in the Holy Grail War.

Because there can only be one winner in this Holy Grail War, and there is only one winner: yourself.

Are you very confident that you will obtain the Holy Grail?

Emiya Shirou looked at Leo, who remained incredibly gentle, and asked a question.

"Naturally, I will become the light that illuminates everything on earth, the one and only king—"

Leo looked directly into Shirou Emiya's eyes through his armor, without any arrogance or change in expression, stating his facts as if he were presenting a truth to Shirou Emiya.

This wasn't due to his self-confidence, but rather because that's truly how he believed it.

"To bring complete equality to all people, to create an ideal society where there is no more war."

Leo, still with a gentle smile, explained his ideals to Shirou Emiya.

Even with such grand ambitions, his expression remained completely unchanged.

"An ideal society without war—"

Isn't this exactly what Emiya Shirou wanted to see?

only------

Because of desire, people fall into conflict; because of desire, people keep moving forward.

The great figures in human history made achievements that changed the course of history within a limited time.

Later generations also looked at these people's stories, pursued the same dreams as them, and strived to complete their own lives. This is probably the desire of an intelligent being to achieve self-identity and fulfillment within a limited time.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada saw war, greed, and disaster, and so he wanted to save humanity.

Create a world without desires, where everyone is equal, and where there is no war.

To grant all humankind the same immortality, allowing them to live peacefully in eternal life.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada loves and saves humans, but he never trusts them.

He believes that humanity is highly likely to self-destruct in the future.

In order to save the human race, he, who was once a member of the human race, chose to sacrifice the future and preserve the present.

Emiya Shirou also witnessed everything that Amakusa Shirou Tokisada had witnessed.

But he saw people risking their lives to save others in war, people fighting against greed even at the cost of their lives, and people giving up everything in disaster for that faint hope.

He understood Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, but made a completely different choice.

Even if the future might bring destruction, Shirou Emiya still believes in the potential of humanity and in everything related to humanity.

Chapter 604 How to Target Emiya Shirou

I will stop you—

Looking at Leo, who stood atop the tower like a monarch under the sunlight, Shirou Emiya spoke slowly with a firm tone.

He did not believe that everyone is equal or that an ideal society without war does not exist.

This is exactly what Shirou Emiya has been pursuing.

He simply didn't understand what the supposedly egalitarian society Leo described truly meant.

While talking with Rin Tohsaka, Shirou Emiya naturally learned what had happened in this world and what the situation was like on the ground.

He will also reflect on this.

Similarly, Shirou Emiya held the same answer as Rin Tohsaka.

"why?"

Leo's expression also became puzzled.

He could sense that Shirou Emiya made this choice precisely because he understood everything he said.

This is also why Leo was puzzled.

Shirou Emiya himself longed for such a society.

"You are the king, I am a man—"

Emiya Shirou slowly answered Leo.

There is no special meaning.

Leo views everything from the perspective of a king.

In his eyes, humanity is a unified whole.

What he saw and what he wanted to achieve was the survival of humanity.

Emiya Shirou views everything from a human perspective.

Every person is a completely different being.

What he saw and what he wanted to achieve was the potential of humanity.

"Do you share the same thoughts as Ms. Tohsaka?"

Leo shook his head as he listened to Shirou Emiya's words.

"Isn't this kind of thinking too narrow-minded?"

"If you want to save humanity, you must first abandon humanity."

Shirou Emiya did not refute Leo's statement; he was right.

Just as he did not believe that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's idea of ​​saving humanity was wrong.

This is simply a conflict of beliefs; there is no right or wrong.

No one can make arbitrary predictions about the future.

Seeing that Emiya Shirou remained silent, Leo did not press him further, trying to get him to agree with his point of view.

"However, even if Emiya-kun approves, conflict between us is inevitable—"

Leo, however, did not feel sad about it and continued to look at Shirou Emiya with that gentle smile.

However, the atmosphere slowly began to change.

"I look forward to meeting Emiya-kun in the upcoming battle!"

With these words of blessing, Leo and Gawain quickly left the place.

He had no intention of clashing with Shirou Emiya here.

Leo is not currently Shirou Emiya's opponent; he will not attack unless Shirou Emiya issues a declaration of battle.

Moreover, he was also looking forward to the moment when he would officially meet Shirou Emiya.

"It really is! Where did this monster come from?!"

Standing on the rooftop, Rin Tohsaka looked into the distance with a face full of anxiety.

She had thought that Shirou Emiya should possess the combat power of a Servant, but she never imagined that Shirou Emiya could do this much.

If Shirou Emiya weren't indeed a Master, Rin Tohsaka would subconsciously regard him as Archer.

That was an anti-military weapon, an anti-military weapon, and it was defeated just like that.

Emiya Shirou's strength was far greater than he had imagined.

"What to do? What to do? What to do?"

Rin Tohsaka hesitated on the rooftop, pondering how to deal with Shirou Emiya.

Unexpectedly, they found themselves at such a disadvantage in their very first encounter.

Once the Noble Phantasm is unleashed, Shirou Emiya will essentially know its true name.

Cú Chulainn is quite well-known. Even if you've never heard of him, you can find out everything about him just by looking up the names of his Noble Phantasms in the library.

They knew virtually nothing about Emiya Shirou.

It's impossible for Shinji Matou to tell Rin Tohsaka the details of his battle with Shirou Emiya.

She was too embarrassed to ask Shinji Matou to find out about Shirou Emiya's battle.

At this point, we can say that Rin Tohsaka only has information about this one conflict.

"Master, don't worry too much. Just treat him like Archer. He won't be able to draw his longbow at such close range during the final battle—"

Cú Chulainn, who had transformed into a spirit, stood to the side, completely unconcerned.

After all, at that time, Shirou Emiya held an absolute advantage.

And coincidentally, there is a way to deal with the explosion of the sword arrows caused by his own [Arrow Protection].

Otherwise, ordinary swords and arrows would hardly harm him in the slightest.

Cú Chulainn was extremely confident in his strength. If he were to be in the body of Shirou Konoe, he could pierce his heart in just a few seconds.

He didn't believe that a Master who was only high school age could not only be skilled in archery, but also be comparable to a Servant in close combat.
