Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

He did not regard the Matou Shinji of this world as the Matou Shinji of his own world.

"Shinji, it's me."

"Emiya? Is there something you need?"

The door was slowly pushed open.

To Shirou Emiya's surprise, the person standing before him was not what he had imagined.

Shinji Matou was dressed very neatly from head to toe, and his mental state was also very good.

Emiya Shirou didn't even see any dark circles under Matou Shinji's eyes.

The seaweed-like hair swayed gently in the breeze outside the door.

"Tsk! I don't know why, but seeing that look in your eyes makes me feel a little uncomfortable!"

Seeing Shirou Emiya's somewhat surprised look, Shinji Matou made no attempt to hide his feelings.

He was an exceptionally talented person to begin with, and despite the setbacks he faced from Rin Tohsaka, Shirou Emiya, Leo, and Gina, he still maintained that he was an exceptionally outstanding individual.

The reason is that Shinji Matou is only eight years old now. When he reaches the same age as Shirou Emiya, Rin Tohsaka, and Leo, his achievements and strength will far surpass theirs.

They just have more time than I do, which is why they seem so outstanding.

"No, I was just a little worried because I hadn't seen you for a while."

Emiya Shirou shook his head somewhat embarrassedly; he had underestimated Matou Shinji's willpower.

"Hmph, do you need to worry about me? I'm a genius. Compared to me, the final battle is about to begin. That's what you should be worried about."

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's words, Shinji Matou's tone noticeably shifted upwards.

"Could it be that you've run out of options to deal with Kishinami and the others, so you're coming to me for help?"

"As long as you call me Matou-sama and ask me for help, I will definitely give you my assistance without hesitation."

Seeing the smug Matou Shinji, Emiya Shirou's forehead immediately broke out in imaginary sweat. As expected, it was still Shinji; he really hadn't changed at all.

"No, no need."

Seeing that Matou Shinji was in excellent mental and physical condition, Emiya Shirou had no intention of staying there. He simply smiled and refused Matou Shinji's offer before turning to leave.

"Huh!? Stop right there! Are you all looking down on me?"

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's refusal, Shinji Matou immediately became dissatisfied and grabbed Shirou Emiya's shoulder.

"Well--!"

Turning his head, Shirou Emiya saw Shinji Matou's ferocious face and stopped in his tracks.

"No, we have never looked down on you. Your talent is top-notch and is recognized by all of us."

Emiya Shirou looked directly into Matou Shinji's eyes without flinching.

Because this is indeed his true feeling.

"Without your help, I probably would have been eliminated in the fourth round."

Although Rin Tohsaka also possessed the ability to hack into the Mooncell lighting system, she was unable to keep track of Shirou Emiya's current battle situation at all times.

If Shirou Emiya had a Servant, he would naturally be able to transmit a message to Rin Tohsaka via a terminal while his Servant was fighting Gawain, instructing her to turn off the lighting system.

However, Shirou Emiya did not have his own servants and could only go into battle himself.

In the heat of battle, Shirou Emiya would have no time to use the terminal to send messages.

Therefore, in the fourth round, without the help of Shinji Matou, Gina, and Rin Tohsaka, he would have had no chance of defeating Leo and Gawain.

"I am very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I would probably have faced even more terrifying pressure during the final battle."

Because of Shinji Matou, the injured Shirou Emiya was under significantly less pressure during his battle with Gawain, allowing him time to unleash his Reality Marble when facing Gawain's Noble Phantasm.

Seeing Shirou Emiya's sincere eyes and expression, Shinji Matou couldn't help but fall silent. Sincerity is an absolute killer move.

Shinji Matou wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He slowly lowered his hand and then looked at Shirou Emiya.

"Then why are you unwilling to accept my help at this time? Even though you are fighting so hard, you have never come to me during this period. You should know that with your current physical condition, your chances of winning against Anbo and the others are very low."

Shinji Matou has completely cracked the multimedia classroom system.

This classroom can now observe not only the battles in the final arena, but also the battles in the arena.

In fact, with Shinji Matou's unparalleled talent, he was already able to interfere with the battles in the arena through his computer-generated techniques.

“Your feelings are genuine. Both Tohsaka and I understand that Kishinami Hakuno is your best friend. As your friends, how could we let you do something so painful?”

The reason why Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya didn't seek help from Shinji Matou is nothing more than this, even though, for a magician, the memories of the preliminary rounds are all false.

However, they could sense that Shinji Matou's feelings for Hakuno Kishinami were genuine; he truly considered her his best friend.

Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka would never be such a villain for the sake of victory. Although they often tease Shinji Matou, they have long regarded him as their friend.

Watching Shirou Emiya walk away into the distance, Shinji Matou stood there in a daze, then muttered to himself.

"You are also my dearest friends—"

Chapter 660 How far can you really go?

The conversation with Gina did not take Emiya Shirou too long.

In fact, from the time I came down from the rooftop until I met Gina, only a few tens of minutes had passed.

The sky outside the window had just begun to brighten completely.

Although the chirping of birds added a touch of life to the academy, there was basically no other sign of activity.

The other Masters may have just woken up and are still in their rooms.

Even if they do appear, they won't have much interaction with others.

The desolate atmosphere within the academy made people have absolutely no desire to speak.

Moreover, the Holy Grail War has progressed to this point, and the Masters who have survived have already experienced four life-or-death battles, so their mentality is no longer the same.

Anyone here could be his next opponent, so he was unwilling to talk to others or reveal his information.

Watching Gina leave, Shirou Emiya didn't linger and continued towards the infirmary.

Having grown accustomed to the bustling atmosphere of the academy, the sudden silence made Shirou Emiya feel somewhat uneasy.

"Squeak—!"

Just as Shirou Emiya was about to reach the door of the infirmary, the crisp sound of the door opening rang out.

Then, Shirou Emiya saw a young man with short blond hair, a noble air, and a perfect, otherworldly aura slowly emerge from the doorway in a wheelchair.

Why is it "drive out" instead of "push out"?

Firstly, Matou Sakura is merely a high-level AI responsible for the Master's health, and it's impossible for her to push Leo and take him wherever he wants to go.

Secondly, this wheelchair, after being magically modified by Leo, can move on its own under the infusion of magic.

Of course, it only involves moving forward.

Even with Leo's exceptional talent as a magician, he couldn't have modified the wheelchair to this extent in such a short time.

Moreover, even if Leo were to spend some time modifying the wheelchair, it would be difficult to reach the level of Fiore's Mystic Code, since Leo lacks the relevant knowledge.

He wouldn't put any effort into this; it was just something Leo did on a whim, and he wasn't really unable to walk.

"I heard your voice at the door earlier. It seems that Emiya-kun is planning to make the final adjustments."

With a warm smile, Leo, sitting in his wheelchair, slowly spoke to Shirou Emiya.

It was as if they had never been rivals.

"Well, after all, the decisive battle is just around the corner, so we still need to make the necessary preparations."

Emiya Shirou nodded slightly. There was nothing to hide; his opponent was not someone to be underestimated.

Of course, Shirou Emiya never underestimated anyone.

"But it's been so long, Leo, aren't you feeling better yet? Aren't you going to rest some more?"

But seeing Leo, who could only leave the infirmary in a wheelchair, Shirou Emiya felt a pang of worry. Although they were rivals before, that was before.

"There's nothing too serious. I can get out of bed and walk, but I'm very weak. It would be more convenient to just sit in a wheelchair."

Leo wasn't surprised. He knew very well what kind of person Shirou Emiya was. He simply shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't have any major problems.

Although these losers had no way of getting free recovery potions from Matou Sakura.

However, the academy shop still offers a wide variety of alchemical potions for purchase.

Shinji Matou handed over all the money and treasure he acquired to his servant.

After all, Drake's Noble Phantasm increases in power based on the treasures he acquires.

Rin Tohsaka, on the other hand, spent all her money on buying gems.

She needs the gem to unleash her full power.

Gina, needless to say, rarely goes to the arena and is the poorest of the poor in SE.RA.PH, barely able to afford basic food.

Therefore, after becoming losers, Shinji Matou and Rin Tohsaka were just as poor as Ginako, and their injuries were almost completely healed in just one week.

It mainly relies on Emiya Shirou, who doesn't spend much money.

Otherwise, given a normal person's recovery ability, how could Rin Tohsaka have gone to the arena with Shirou Emiya so quickly?

However, Shirou Emiya doesn't often fight in the arena. He only goes there when the key is activated. The theme of the Holy Grail War is fighting and conflict.

Despite helping the NPCs within the academy, Shirou Emiya doesn't have much money.

As they continued to treat the two patients, their finances rapidly dwindled.

Therefore, at this stage, Leo, who eliminates a large number of enemy programs every time he enters the arena, and who doesn't buy many potions, items, or costumes, is the richest of the rich among these people.
