Chapter 778 Rejected Love

As the black mud receded, the figures of Joan of Arc and Archer emerged.

Archer gripped the round shield in his hand with extreme weakness. He had unleashed his Noble Phantasm three times in a row during the battle, as well as so many spiral swords. He was indeed struggling to keep up.

The student council members also quickly came over and looked at everything around them.

"finished?"

Leo looked at Mooncell, which was silently floating in the air, and had a bad feeling.

However, at this moment everyone's attention was focused on BB in Shirou Emiya's arms.

"But isn't everything you do aimed at moving towards a better future?"

Emiya Shirou knelt on the ground, his body soaked in blood, and answered the baby in his arms with a slight smile on his face.

She accomplished what Shirou Emiya wanted to do but couldn't—she saved everyone involved in the Holy Grail War.

There is no perfect solution to this situation. When Shirou Emiya participated in this Holy Grail War, he already had the thought that he might not be able to leave alive, nor could he save all the people who participated in the Holy Grail War.

He could only do his best to save others.

"Besides, we prevented the harm you caused, didn't we?"

Emiya Shirou answered BB without any hint of blame.

What was her purpose in taking Mooncell? Did she want to become evil?

Even though BB's goal was to gain immense power, for everything he wanted, Shirou Emiya had no reason to reprimand BB.

Ultimately, the Holy Grail War was a battle fought by various mages for their own interests. BB obtained the Holy Grail from another direction through his own power and fulfilled his wish, something that Shirou Emiya would not condemn in any way.

Moreover, BB's wish was for the continuation of humanity, it's just that the final result was not satisfactory.

There are only two reasons for this confrontation with BB.

The first reason is that BB imprisoned them on the far side of the moon, preventing them from returning to the surface or leaving. They cannot live in this fictional world created by the spirit particles forever.

The second point is what Sakura said: if BB gains control of the Mooncell, it will not be able to continue humanity, but will instead cause the destruction of humanity.

It was for these two reasons that Shirou Emiya chose to stop BB; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have stopped her.

Because everything BB does is aimed at moving towards a better future.

She also saved herself without hesitation, didn't she?

If it weren't for BB, I would have died in the fifth battle when I fought Archer.

"Thanks--!"

Looking at the face she had longed for day and night, BB felt a sense of relief for some reason.

She clearly wanted to become the senior's enemy, but he understood her in this way.

He truly lives up to his senior's reputation.

BB could only feel this way in his heart.

Then——

"Senior, may I ask you some questions?"

Just as Shirou Emiya was about to speak again, he heard a faint sound from the baby in his arms.

"Go ahead and say it—"

He did not refuse. At that moment, Sakura also ran up from behind and hurriedly came to Shirou Emiya's side, wanting to treat him.

"Senior, do you like me?"

BB's heart suddenly tightened. What was the answer? She already knew, but like Lip and Lilith, she hoped and looked forward to it as they were about to perish, even if Shirou Emiya was just telling a white lie.

"No, the time we've spent together has been too short; there's no way we can talk about liking each other."

Listening to BB's words and feeling her burning emotions, Shirou Emiya shook his head in denial.

"Senior, you really are cruel—"

Even though she already knew the outcome, hearing it from Shirou Emiya's own mouth still made BB feel sad, as if it was a love she could never have.

"And what about her?"

But seemingly unwilling, BB trembled as she reached out and pointed at Sakura, who was behind Emiya Shirou and was about to use her authority to create a healing potion.

"Eh--!"

Hearing BB point at her, Sakura's heart tightened. She looked at Shirou Emiya with the same expectation, though she also knew that the person Shirou Emiya loved was not her.

Emiya Shirou glanced briefly at Sakura, who was standing there stunned, then shook his head slightly.

"It seems it was just wishful thinking on our part—"

BB smiled bitterly. She understood that Emiya Shirou's memories—the memories of his time with Sakura, and the memories she possessed as a backup—had not disappeared.

He was simply a gentle person who happened to meet them.

"However, if I could get along with you normally, would you accept me?"

Suddenly, BB changed her perspective and asked Shirou Emiya a question.

Because she wanted to know if things were really as hopeless as they seemed.

"meeting"

Emiya Shirou nodded affirmatively. He was not a saint without desires; love was something he would inevitably encounter sooner or later.

If a person is unsure of their own feelings and BB can interact with them normally, they might actually be won over by BB.

The reason he was "captured" is because he knew in his heart that he wouldn't accept a relationship so easily.

But having confirmed his feelings, there was only one person in his heart: the purple-haired girl who had been waiting for him to return to the mansion.

"Is that so? I understand!"

Hearing Shirou Emiya's words, BB's eyes lost their previous dejection and were once again filled with a bright and energetic light.

Sakura, standing to the side, clenched her fists tightly, seemingly making a decision in her heart.

As for Joan of Arc, she seemed lost in thought, her face slightly flushed.

BB suggests that they shouldn't shatter Joan of Arc's fantasy for now.

After all, Jeanne was the only one present who didn't know about Emiya Shirou's past; she had no idea about the existence of the other Sakura.

"However, there's still one thing I don't understand—"

After answering BB's question, Shirou Emiya also raised his own long-standing question since arriving here.

"Since Sakura was able to simulate the outcome if Mooncell had gained intelligence, you, with your higher authority, shouldn't have failed to simulate that future."

"Why are you so determined to control Mooncell, without even taking precautions against or countering its control?"

This is the question that Emiya Shirou had in BB's mind after seeing him controlled by Mooncell.

It's impossible for BB not to know that such a situation would occur after obtaining Mooncell. At first, Shirou Emiya thought that BB had a way to counter it. If BB controlled it herself, then Sakura's analysis could be completely overturned.

But the truth is that BB, knowing full well what the outcome would be, rushed forward without hesitation as if he knew nothing, and was subsequently taken over by Mooncell.

It seems like they didn't even make any preparations.

However, before BB could speak, another voice that was very familiar to everyone present came from the front.

Let me explain this.

Chapter 779 Sesshouin Kihara (Refresh)

Chapter 780 The Truth

"How could this be—!"

Sakura, with her white hair, stared at Sesshouin Kiara in disbelief. Her pupils trembled violently as if an earthquake had struck, and her shoulders began to shake uncontrollably. She seemed to have completely collapsed, half-sitting on the ground.

Her awakening of self-awareness was not due to overwork causing her body to overheat.

As a high-level AI of Mooncell, Sakura with white hair is unable to even make the choice of actions like overworking.

They simply don't have that kind of freedom; Mooncell forbids them from overusing themselves.

It was Sesshouin Kiara who liberated Sakura's freedom but destroyed the extent to which she suppressed her self-awareness.

The backup machine BB, which should have been asleep and would only be activated when Sakura remembered it again, was also awakened by Sesshouin Kiara.

And it was Sesshouin Kiara who implanted the desire to liberate humanity—a wish that no normal person would have—into BB.

BB never understood why he insisted on making Mooncell a human-managed and operated device.

Because, to be honest, her initial goal was to save Shirou Emiya, not to save the world.

After obtaining Mooncell, stop the Holy Grail War, send all the mages back, construct a new body for Shirou Emiya, and try to heal his hidden injuries.

Logically speaking, one would never think of it involving all of humanity.

This is the thing that Sesshouin Kiara blessed on BB, making her unable to realize why she was so obsessed with something that was not her goal at all.

"Lancer—!"
