Nuclear Sword Immortal Starting from Type-Moon

For a moment, silence fell over the tram.

Whether from the left or the right, the gazes cast by the two girls, whether angry or resentful, gave Shirou a headache.

Maintaining silence wasn't a solution either, mainly because their gazes seemed to be thorns, making Shirou feel uncomfortable.

To alleviate this dull and oppressive atmosphere.

This was also to distract the two girls from their terrifying experience.

Shirou decided to do something.

"Ahem, since you're a bit bored, let me tell you a story."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Rin and Kotone both turned to look at him curiously.

"You're not going to tell another ghost story, are you...?"

Rin shrank back in fear.

"Oh, so the young lady is afraid of ghosts?"

Shirou joked.

"Goo?!"

Rin noticed that Kotone was also looking over, and immediately stretched her neck out, feeling a bit self-conscious.

"Who, who's afraid!"

"Last time I was just caught off guard and you ambushed me!"

To put on a brave face to this extent, one can be so self-righteous.

Is that really the case?

"Just now at Weiyuanchuan, it seemed like some young lady was snuggling in my arms the whole time?"

"Don't, don't mention Wei Yuanchuan..."

Rin felt a wave of nausea as she recalled the scene she had witnessed in the sewers, her stomach churning as if it were about to burst.

Shirou glanced at Rin, who looked like she was about to vomit, and Kotone, who was standing there looking dazed, and decided it was best not to upset the two girls too much.

"Okay, okay, then I'll tell you a gentler story."

Shirou met the gazes of the two little girls and began to tell them his story.

"There was a man named Nanmu who, as a child, believed that his life was more valuable than others. He was an arrogant, unhumble, and unshrewd person."

"And at this time, he met a girl who shared the same thoughts as him—Himeno."

They made a pact with each other that they would definitely realize their dreams in the future.

"However, until he was twenty years old, Nanmu could not see the road to success at all, only a life of poverty and failure that could be seen from the beginning."

"Phoebe nanmu, struggling with life's hardships, accidentally came across a shop that could buy longevity items."

"So he sold the rest of his life for 10,000 yen a year..."

The story Shirou is telling is "Three Days of Happiness".

If it weren't for the Holy Grail War, Shirou was planning to work part-time as a plagiarist while in school.

Although he is too young, Mrs. Chihiro could have made the statement on his behalf.

That might just be the start of my career as a light novel author.

But now Shirou doesn't care about making such a small amount of money.

The treasures he keeps within his protective barrier are valuable enough to buy the Clock Tower.

"Strange, why would Nanmu sell her lifespan?"

"Even if he's poor, doesn't he still have a place to live? Wouldn't going to work improve his situation?"

Rin asked with some confusion, clearly unable to understand this decadent view of life.

"This is a matter of mindset."

Shirou shook his head and said with some emotion:

"There are always some people who believe that good things can fall from the sky, and they are willing to waste their lives and do absurd things without feeling a little regret."

"They never try to face and deal with life, but only try to justify themselves."

"But sometimes, it is precisely these foolish people who receive the most precious things or people."

"Some people remain despondent even after all this, while others unleash amazing power because of it. It's truly incredible."

Like the camphor tree that originally believed its life was worthless.

Shortly after selling his lifespan, he discovered that his paintings had sold for astronomical prices after his death.

That dark, ironic humor is the essence of this book.

The story is over.

After immersing themselves in Shirou's story, the two girls felt that the deep-seated fear they had felt in the sewers had actually dissipated considerably.

At this moment, the scenery outside the window began to freeze.

This means the tram has arrived at the station.

Shirou, who had been sitting for a while, immediately stood up.

"Phew... We're finally here. Let's get off the bus."

The three of them walked off the platform and came outside the station.

The night was quiet and the air was slightly cool.

The shadows of the streetlights, like thorns, are intricately intertwined on the ground.

In the dim night, occasionally a stray cat could be heard howling loudly in the heat of the night, and the sound of cars passing by could be heard in the distance.

As a town in the old town of Fuyuki City, the entire area is built on the mountainside, and slopes are naturally everywhere.

The Tohsaka residence and the Matou residence, which has now become ruins, are both located in the old capital of Fuyuki.

The residential area is roughly divided into two sections, one Western-style and the other Japanese-style, by the shopping street.

There is a commercial street nearby, and Ryudong Temple is located on Mount Enzang to the west.

"It's a bit cold..."

Shirou rubbed his arm.

Although this slight chill was nothing to him.

However, Rin and Kotone, who were standing beside him, were already shivering from the cold.

It's about a ten-minute walk to my home in Chancheng.

We have already reached the countryside.

The chirping of cicadas filled the air, creating a unique night scene with the occasional fireflies flitting about.

At that moment, a slender figure was running towards them.

That was Rin's mother, Aoi Tohsaka.

Her gentle and beautiful face had never looked so flustered. Even her long, smooth, emerald-green hair was now a mess, and the mother's face was full of worry.

"Ah, it's Mom...!"

Rin exclaimed in surprise when she saw that figure.

Shirou patted Rin on the back.

"Go, Rin."

Rin took a few steps forward, then suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to look at Shirou.

"that……"

Then, the girl gave Shirou the cutest and sweetest smile she had ever given him.

"Thank you for spending time with me today, Shirou~!"

In one's life, there are always a few moments when one feels as if they have seen the gates of heaven open.

In that instant, Shirou felt as if he were seeing holy light.

Was that an angel?

While Shirou was momentarily dazed by that smile, Rin had already reunited with her mother, Aoi Tohsaka.

"€€€€Rin!"

Upon seeing her daughter, Aoi Tohsaka cried out and rushed towards her.

Aoi Tohsaka picked up Rin, feeling her daughter's breath and warm body temperature. There were no external injuries, which was already a stroke of luck.

"That's great...really..."

Aoi Tohsaka, whose mind was filled with joy, calmed down a little and suddenly realized that someone was staring at her.

Looking to the side, Aoi Tohsaka noticed that the red-haired boy was standing not far away, looking at her with a normal expression.
