Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Shinji Matou stopped the other party, saying without any respect, "What does it matter? Since they're willing to give it away for free, we'll accept it. Anyway, Archer doesn't have a Master, and no Master would be willing to make a contract with someone who has betrayed their master multiple times. We don't need to pay attention to them; they'll disappear sooner or later. We can just take over Tohsaka later."

"You're quite clever, Shinji Matou."

[Red Archer crossed his arms, looking at Matou Shinji with a cold smile, and said, "Your judgment is quite accurate. In a sense, you are more suitable to be a Master than anyone else."]

"Hahaha! What? You really have good taste, man!"

Shinji Matou thought Archer was praising him, and became even more smug.

"What a waste. If you had come to me sooner, I would have signed a contract with you. But I'm sorry, I don't need any other Servants anymore. It's a pity, but you'd better just disappear."

[Red A: "I don't need you to tell me. And have you decided? Do you want to fight me, or wait for me to disappear?"]

"Of course we'll wait. We'll keep an eye on Tohsaka until we take care of Emiya."

Shinji Matou said with a burning gaze, "But she's mine now, isn't she? Don't you think it doesn't matter what I do?"

[Red Archer said expressionlessly, "Although I promised Shirou Emiya I wouldn't hurt her, the deadline is dawn. Once that time is up, you can do whatever you want with her."]

"Hahahahahahaha—"

Shinji Matou looked at Rin Tohsaka with pleasure and said, "Did you hear that, Rin? Your Servant has already been sold out to me."

Red A completely ignored Blackheart Flash, who was staring intently at him, and headed downstairs.

Waver: "...This really is the King of Heroes."

How could he turn a blind eye to Shinji Matou's extremely rude behavior? Is this still the same arrogant Gilgamesh?

Even Tokiomi Tohsaka would criticize this as a double standard.

I treated you with utmost respect, only to be betrayed in return. Shinji Matou, a bully who abused his power, was utterly rude and even addressed me by my first name, yet you ignored him completely.

So Gilgamesh was a masochist?

At this moment, Jin Shanshan was so angry that he wanted to rush into the video and kill Hei Xin Shan. His good reputation had been ruined by this guy!

Even if you want to have fun, you should be selective! Why choose a maggot like Shinji Matou?! Have you reached such a point where you have no moral compass whatsoever?!

Chapter 556 King Arthur Doesn't Understand People's Hearts

(This was from yesterday; I forgot to upload it, sorry.)

Morning arrived quickly, and Shirou Emiya arrived on time with Artoria for their appointment.

"You're here, Shirou Emiya? You're so slow."

Standing amidst the ruins, Red A spoke with a flippant tone.

Gazing at the man before him who had honed his rudimentary magic to its pinnacle, achieving his own ideals, Shirou Emiya remained silent for a moment before asking, "Archer, how is Tohsaka?"

[Red A: "Her? I've got her somewhere in the city. If you're worried, act fast. Because you were too slow, I gave her to Matou Shinji, who arrived first."]

【"What!"】

[Shirou Emiya, who was already feeling conflicted and conflicted, instantly became furious upon hearing these words.]

Shinji Matou knew his true colors all too well now; Archer had actually said he was handing Rin Tohsaka over to him!

[Red A: "I kept my promise. I didn't lay a hand on her. So whatever others do to her is none of my business. But, well, the result is predictable."]

His meaning was clear—if you want to save Rin Tohsaka, you'd better finish me off quickly, or she might be completely taken advantage of.

However, this time, Red A's plans again fell short of expectations.

Rin Tohsaka: "Crack crack (sound of cracking knuckles) —"

If Red A were in front of her right now, she would definitely smash every bone in his body.

Tora of Fuyuki: "Shirou, you've really gone too far this time. I can't stand it anymore."

She could see right through Shinji Matou; handing Rin Tohsaka over to him would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

Red A: "Hmm (completely unconcerned)..."

Red A really doesn't care about this kind of thing at all.

During his lifetime, his relationship with Rin Tohsaka was merely that of friends; after countless years of killing, his heart had long since turned cold.

As long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter if Rin Tohsaka is sacrificed.

The reason he initially chose to help Rin Tohsaka win the Holy Grail in the video was because he had no other choice.

Of all the Masters in the Fifth Holy War, only Rin Tohsaka was somewhat acceptable to him.

Unfortunately, Rin Tohsaka disappointed him time and time again.

"Ah, it's alright, kid. Leave the girl to us."

Just then, a blue figure appeared on the second floor; it was Dog Brother.

"Just wait and see, we'll be there to rescue her right away."

[Shirou Emiya: "???"]

Seeing that Dog Bro had actually come to his aid, Shirou Emiya's brain went completely blank.

Although the two sides had cooperated before, it was temporary. They should have returned to a state of hostility now.

"Ahem, this is an order from Master."

Dog Bro, without batting an eye, said, "Originally, I came to help to prevent the little girl from dying."

"Speak," he said, then walked past Red A and headed into the castle, completely ignoring the other person.

"Wow, I didn't expect it to feel so smooth and comfortable to carry out. Yesterday's battle was absolutely exhilarating. It's rare for me to actually enjoy my job."

"Saber, leave this to that kid."

"Lancer...thank you."

[Shirou Emiya thanked him sincerely, then said to Saber, "Saber, I'm entrusting Tohsaka to you. Please rescue her as soon as possible."]

[Artoria: "No, Shirou, I will stay here to protect you. I will witness your battle."]

She was worried about leaving Shirou Emiya alone there, but she didn't want to do nothing either, so she immediately came up with a new plan.

The next moment, the Wind King's barrier enveloped Dog Brother.

That's right, this thing can actually be used as a buff to others.

"Alright, Saber can stay here to prevent any troublemakers from breaking in."

Dog Bro chuckled, "Don't worry about it. This is purely out of interest. The previous orders were all tedious chores, but I'll follow this one to the end. You too, just take care of yourself."

He noticed that the priest seemed to have become more normal.

[That's really interesting, how did you suddenly have an epiphany?]

[Dog Bro doesn't know that this is just his imagination.]

Fuyuki no Tora: "Oh! Cú Chulainn really is a good person, coming to help!"

Dog Bro: "Hahaha, let's forget about calling me a good person. I was clearly just following orders in the video."

Rin Tohsaka: "What is that priest up to now?"

Blonde Rin: "How come you have the illusion that the priest has become a better person?"

Dog Bro: "Haha (awkward laugh)..."

I really embarrassed myself in this video, actually thinking that Kirei Kotomine had become a better person because of a mission.

You're so naive!

Lion's Robbery Realm: "But I really didn't expect that the Wind King's Barrier could actually be applied to others!"

Zabi: "Is this considered providing a shield for someone else?"

Artoria: "Actually, it's always been possible, but the human body can't withstand the pressure of the Wind King's barrier; only Heroic Spirits can. And in the Holy Grail War, I've always fought alone, without any reliable teammates, so..."

Gina: "So I never had a chance to use it - which is very common. When I play games, some skills and items are never used until I finish the game."

After Cú Chulainn left, Artoria looked at Archer (Red Archer) and asked a question.

She can choose not to get involved in the fight, but there's one thing she needs to clarify.

"Archer, why do you want to kill Shirou? To kill another version of yourself?"

[Red A: "...There's no reason why. Just like he doesn't agree with me, I can't agree with him either. Simply put, I just don't like Emiya Shirou."]

[Artoria: "How is this possible? You can't accept it? You are Shirou, Emiya Shirou's own ideal, the one who became a Heroic Spirit to uphold that ideal, so why would you do something so foolish as to try to kill yourself?"]

[Red Archer: "Why do you think that the immature Shirou Emiya and I, known as Hero Shirou, are different individuals? Otherwise, they couldn't both exist here at the same time."]

[Artoria: "So you became a Servant? Because you heard that if you become a guardian outside the timeline, you might be summoned to your own era..."]

"You are Shirou. The image that Shirou has always envisioned in his heart, the image he has strived to achieve, is you. But why—"

"You mean the Guardians?"

[Red A chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "You're wrong, Saber. Guardians aren't protectors of humanity, but rather cleaners, tidying up the messes and disasters caused by humans. That's completely different from the hero I envision!"]

[Artoria: "Shirou..."]

[Red Archer: "I have indeed become a hero. Just as Shirou Emiya himself hoped, I have become a messenger of justice. But the messenger of justice that Shirou Emiya believes in is someone who 'would not harm anyone.' Someone who appears in various disasters to save those who are harmed. This is Shirou Emiya's ideal. But—"]

"The duty of justice in reality is to eradicate calamities that affect human order and organizations that destroy humanity. In other words, it's the work of eliminating evil."
