Type-Moon, I will rewrite Lostbelts!

He is the typical type of person who sees little, experiences little, and thinks little.

"Dreams are what you want to do, what kind of person you want to become, and what goals you want to achieve."

"···"

The girl was thinking. She recalled the scene on the way there: knights and commoners working together, chatting and laughing, cooperating and helping each other.

The knight who clears away monsters, the knight with great strength who cultivates the land, she thought of her brother Gawain, cheerful, always being greeted by people on the road, always smiling, this kind of knight... is like a knight that only exists in dreams.

Gareth, a young girl, was experiencing dreams for the first time. She didn't even know that dreams were such a thing, but she knew that she wanted to become a knight, a qualified knight!

"I...I want to become a knight! A knight like Gawain!"

After saying this, the girl blushed; she was a little shy as it was the first time she had said this.

"Oh~ You want to become a knight like me? That's not so simple, it's a long process."

Gawain coolly adjusted his armor, then, finding it impossible to adjust, started adjusting his gloves instead, striking a pose in the process.

"Tsk, look at you, all you think you are, just to become a knight."

Emiya Shirou rolled his eyes at the arrogant guy who was being worshipped by his sister. Come to think of it, he did have a plan, which seemed to come in handy.

"That's a great dream, but do you know what a knight is?"

Emiya Shirou retorted, and Gareth tilted his head: "Isn't a knight a knight?"

[As expected, this guy knows nothing; he can be kidnapped!]

"No, no, no~" Emiya Shirou said, gently shaking his index finger.

"A knight is someone who follows the virtues of chivalry, which include humility, honesty, compassion, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, and spirit."

"In my opinion, only those who perfectly practice these eight virtues can be called knights."

With that, Shirou Emiya stood up from his seat, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the window: "Unfortunately, knights who can fulfill these virtues are very rare."

The eight virtues of chivalry are a long-standing concept and have served as a benchmark for many knights.

but!

Not all knights knew or were able to abide by it; in knightly orders centered around nobles, this virtue was more of a public declaration.

Coincidentally, the core noble knights make up 80% of the members of the knightly order, which results in even fewer people fully practicing chivalry.

During this period, the study was implemented, and chivalry was naturally incorporated into it.

Learning isn't just for children; there are so many adult knights out there too—young people, middle-aged people, and elderly people. No matter their age, they're all at the perfect age to venture out into the world.

For the sake of Britain's future, and to ensure that these knights do not become out of touch with the times or mislead children, Shirou Emiya is now preparing to fully promote chivalrous virtues.

Promoting something like this requires a benchmark, which is definitely not easy to find. We need both a perfect foundation and a strong will and belief in pursuing it.

It's not easy to find!

Emiya Shirou circled Gareth again and again, his smile widening with each turn, before suddenly uttering a strange remark: "Isn't this a promising talent coming along?"

Gareth: "?"

Gawain: "?"

Emiya Shirou: "Hehe, the country has a mission now, a very important mission that requires your help~"

The brother and sister: "???"

Very quickly, Gareth announced the selection of moral exemplar knights, and the knightly virtue assessment began, requiring assessments for all ages.

Those who pass the performance review receive a raise and a promotion; those who fail remain in their current positions. There are no other forms of punishment.

It appears casual, but it is by no means casual.

The title of a moral exemplar knight is quite prestigious, and many people are interested in it, including Lancelot.

but···

"Do you even know who Galahad's mother is? Are you trying to muddy the waters? Get out of here!"

Shirou Emiya originally intended to use Gareth as a starting point to inspire the other knights, but to his surprise, Gareth actually lived in accordance with the eight virtues of a knight.

And this was something that lasted for several years, which even surprised Shirou Emiya.

A conman is someone who can deceive people for a lifetime, and that takes skill, let alone the fact that Secretary Gareth did not deceive anyone.

Over the years, the south was also completely subdued, the bandit strongholds were wiped out, and the nobles who had cooperated with them were tried one after another.

Only then was Britain truly stable.

Emiya Shirou followed closely behind, and the various talents and perfect laborers (judgment nobles) he had cultivated over the years began to enter the scene. With a large number of people and resources, he planned the southern land, built ports, and started fishing and other tasks.

Everything was moving in a positive direction, but reality is not always so smooth.

"Once the port is built, the fishing program can begin. It just so happens that the salting and salt production programs have been successfully tested in recent years, which should increase the grain production significantly."

"Something's been wrong lately; the harvests have been getting worse year after year..."

Looking at the report showing that production was decreasing year by year, Shirou Emiya felt that things were not simple, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"Let's ask Meryl about it and see if she knows anything."

Emiya Shirou went to find Merry with the report, but as soon as he stepped out the door, he was spotted by two little tails.

Mordred: "Heh heh, where are you headed, Lord Wei?"

Gareth: "Emiya-senpai!"

The two little ones are like younger siblings, following Shirou Emiya around whenever they have time.

"I need to discuss something with Merlin. Would you like to come along?"

Emiya Shirou didn't have any other thoughts about the two of them. He was just a little surprised to find out they were siblings. Besides, the two were very honest, so it was fine for him to follow them.

“I’m not going!” Mordred raised his hand.

"I...I'm not going either!"

Gareth isn't good at communicating with Merry, who enjoys teasing her. Although it's nice to be with Emiya-senpai, this looks like they're handling official business, so it's probably best not to follow along.

Emiya Shirou nodded: "Then I'll be going now."

Merry is very hard to find. As a very powerful magician, and the kind who can teleport, she is very difficult to find.

However, Shirou Emiya had no such concerns; he could always find Merry in various places by relying on his intuition.

Actually, that's not entirely true. The idea that Merry would wait for Shirou Emiya in various places is also plausible.

"Hey~ Isn't this my apprentice? Looking for me?"

Before long, Merry fell from the ceiling into Shirou Emiya's arms.

"Um, I have some questions I'd like to ask, is that a convenient time?"

Carrying her in a princess carry, Merry swung her slender legs and nodded, saying, "Of course it's convenient~"

"Let's go to Lia's office. Lia's there too. Let's go!"

Merry pointed in a direction, and Shirou Emiya tried to put her down, but Merry instead used a cockroach to climb onto her back.

"Hehehe, let's go!"

Forget it, if we can't catch it, so be it.

Not wanting to waste time on the road, Shirou Emiya chose to walk quickly, knowing that the other person would come down at the gate anyway.

They arrived at a room without encountering anyone along the way, knocked on the door, and pushed it open. Artoria was sitting in a chair, handling official business.

"Lord Emiya and Merlin? What brings you here?"

Upon seeing the two of them, Artoria asked.

“I don’t know about Merlin, but I do know one thing: grain production has been declining in recent years.”

Emiya Shirou handed the report to the two men: "You see, I've been using various methods to cultivate the land, planning reasonable crop planting, building irrigation canals, and so on, and the number of productive fields I've developed each year has been increasing, but the yield is decreasing."

It's so strange. We've clearly planned suitable crops to plant, cleared more productive fields, bought higher-yielding seedlings, and used various methods to fertilize and nourish the soil. If we can't increase the yield, at least we should be able to keep it the same.

How could it possibly decrease year by year? That doesn't make sense.

"Indeed, it has been decreasing year by year... Strange, I can't see any problem."

Artoria frowned. Food was a matter of national importance; any problems with it would be major issues.

"I do know what's going on~"

Seeing the two serious-minded people, Meryl suddenly spoke up.

Emiya Shirou: "Hmm? What is it?"

Merry: "The reason is simple. Have you forgotten what era we live in? We're at the end of the Age of Gods!"

Upon hearing this, the two realized that it was indeed true.

"Actually, it's not that obvious yet. It will take at least a few more years before the changes are visible to the naked eye. It's just that you like to record and compare, so you've been able to notice the changes."

Mary was unhappy that the two had forgotten about the era, so as their master, she gave each of them a staff to tap on the head.

"You guys can forget something so important, you're really thick-skinned."

"Is there any way to stop this change?"

Shirou Emiya asked, unaware that Artoria's gaze suddenly turned serious beside him.

She remembered that the demise of the Age of Gods would lead to the destruction of Britain; it was inevitable.

At this moment, all the memories that had been covered by Shirou Emiya's gentleness and sense of security surged up and transformed into fear.

Fearing that everything Emiya had done would vanish with the demise of the Age of Gods, fearing that they would witness the fall of Britain together before they had even had a long time together, Artoria's heart raced with tension and fear.

"No, the demise of the Age of Gods was an inevitable historical outcome."

Mary shook her head helplessly. If possible, she would love to stop everything, but there was nothing she could do.

The demise of the divine era is a predetermined change in this world, and no one can stop it.

"Is it unstoppable? Then the change should be gradual. What about time? How much longer until it ends?"

Upon hearing the bad news, Shirou Emiya ignored it and calmly stroked his chin, asking a question.

"I don't know, how many years? More than ten years? Several decades? I don't know, I can't be sure."

Merry shook her head. Ever since Shirou Emiya appeared, everything had gone wrong. The only thing she was certain of was that the Age of Gods was still dying out, and that was the only thing she dared to be sure of.

"Is the timing uncertain? What exactly happened after the Age of Gods perished? Was the world destroyed? Did the fields cease to produce food? Did all the rivers and such disappear?"

Emiya Shirou, wanting to obtain more information, kept throwing out questions.

While Meryl pondered this, she gave a definite answer: "These problems won't happen, but there will be an even more terrible consequence: the mystery will completely disappear from this world!"

The disappearance of a god means the disappearance of magic—this is a huge deal! A super huge deal!

But upon hearing the result, Shirou Emiya breathed a sigh of relief: "What? So that's all there is to it."

Merry vs. Artoria, who suddenly looks up: Hmm? Why does it seem like it's nothing?

Volume 1: Chapter 62: The Holy Grail - Searching for the Holy Grail (4k)

"Hey, hey, hey, this is the demise of the Age of Gods, do you know what that means? It means that those of us who use magic can no longer use magic, which is a huge problem!"

"The inability to use magic means that magic circles cannot be used, that powerful attacks cannot be used, and that many magical items will disappear. We will enter an era without magic!"

Merry assumed that Shirou Emiya was unaware of the danger and kept explaining.

Emiya Shirou simply tilted his head: "So what? As long as the land can still grow crops and people can still live normal lives, what is there to worry about?"

Mary: "Sigh..."

Artoria: "Sigh..."

Emiya Shirou: "Without magic, food production will be slower, and it will play a supporting role in many situations, but these things cannot affect the normal life of humans. It's not like we will face a great disaster just because the Age of Gods has ended."

"Besides, why worry too much about things whose timing is uncertain? If we can't stop it, we should live our lives normally and try to leave something for future generations. Isn't that more in line with our identity?"

Emiya Shirou's cheerfulness was surprising. Merry and Artoria were speechless for a long time. Finally, Merry thought for a moment and chose to change the subject.

"Actually, there is still a way. Although the mysterious demise of the world is inevitable, there is a way to temporarily maintain the mystery of Britain."

Emiya Shirou, who had just spoken so coolly but now felt like an idiot: Hmm?
