Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

For example, it allows Jack the Ripper, who was originally an evil spirit, to become flesh.

Normal Heroic Spirits cannot do this, yet the Ripper is considered an anomaly even among Servants.

The girl, who never had a physical body in her previous life and was never truly born, is now undergoing the act of "being reborn into this world".

The magic that constituted the temporary physical body quickly transformed into another life form, and the spirit core that housed the concept of heroic spirits changed into a throbbing heart.

"Waaaaaah...Mommy!"

Just when Shirou and Rokudo Reika thought the plan had succeeded, Jack the Ripper suddenly let out a painful scream.

"What's wrong, Jack?"

Liu Daolingxia hurriedly approached the fallen Assassin.

"It hurts! Mom! It hurts so much! What is this...it hurts so much!"

Jack the Ripper's slender, petite body writhed wildly on the floor, emitting piercing screams.

"Mommy...it hurts so much! No! I hate it! Aaaaaaah!"

"Shirou-kun! Please help me! Save Jack!"

Liu Daolingxia picked up the girl and brought her to the boy's side, but the latter calmly shook his head.

She bit her lip and hugged Jack the Ripper, stroking her back.

Now, neither he nor his daughter have any other way out but to believe in this boy.

After a while, Jack the Ripper gradually calmed down.

"It's okay now."

Shirou took the girl from the woman's hands, examined her, and then spoke.

"Are you really... alright?"

"Ah."

Hearing Shirou say that, Rokudou Reika finally felt relieved.

Her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.

“By the way…you should probably put your clothes on too,” Shirou said, turning his head.

It was only then that Liu Daolingxia realized that she was still dressed in the revealing clothes she wore when she seduced the young boy.

“No, sorry…”

The woman awkwardly put her coat back on.

Shirou carried the unconscious silver-haired girl back to the sofa, and then explained the precautions to Rokudou Reika.

Although Jack the Ripper gained a physical body, he could not be considered a true human being, but rather a "flesh-bearer servant".

She will still need to consume magic to maintain normal life functions.

"Eating can slightly replenish magic power, but it is still insufficient."

If this continues, the little devil will become increasingly weak. If only a magician could supply her with magic...

"I will learn! I will learn magic for Jack!"

"Being a magician isn't something you can become just by trying... No, wait a minute."

Shirou recalled the miraculous experience of Rokudou Reika summoning a Servant before her death, and how she had just successfully used a three-stroke Command Spell to make Jack the Ripper complete his act of flesh cutting—

That's something that absolutely not anyone can do.

In fact, Shirou believed that the success rate of the Flesh Project was only 30%, and he was prepared to eliminate the completely broken Jack the Ripper, regardless of Rokudou Reika's obstruction.

But she succeeded.

Although it cannot be confirmed, Liu Dao Lingxia might actually have the talent of a magician.

"Let me introduce you to a magic teacher," Shirou said after thinking for a moment.

"Thank you so much." Liu Daolingxia lowered her head gratefully.

Would you be willing to take the kid to live in London?

After Shirou explained to the woman that London, England, was the center of modern magic, she showed a slightly hesitant expression.

For Jack the Ripper, London was both his homeland and a hellish place.

"Well, although it's a bit unfair to say this, but if it's alright..."

"You don't want to go to London, right?"

Shirou nodded: "OK, then go back to Japan and go to Fuyuki to find someone named Rin Tohsaka..."

"Japan also..."

Liu Daolingxia said tremblingly, "If possible, I hope to take Jack to live in a new place."

Shirou was speechless: This woman... is even more willful than I imagined... no wonder she's a young lady from a once-prosperous family.

There's no other way but to help someone to the end.

Shirou instructed Rokudo Reika to bring him a piece of paper, and then wrote a long string of names on it.

"Luvia Zelita Edelfelt".

"Go to Finland and find this person."

Shirou handed the note to Rokudo Reika.

"Excuse me, is this lady Shirou-kun's...?"

"do not know."

"Hey?"

"To be precise, Luvia doesn't know this world... It's nothing, don't worry about it."

Shirou pictured the arrogant yet beautiful girl's face in his mind, and then said:

"In short, this woman is both rich and a busybody."

"If you just ask her for help, she will have the mercy to take you in; I can assure you."

"Okay... okay."

Liu Daolingxia gratefully put the note away.

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. It's about time you set off."

"Huh? So fast?"

"Okay, let's leave tonight. Staying here will only cause me trouble."

Shirou, his earlier enthusiasm gone, said coldly, "If Ruler finds out what happened tonight, I'm dead."

"I understand. Thank you again."

Liu Dao Lingxia bowed deeply, while Shirou sank into the sofa and waved his hand impatiently.

"Um... may I ask one last question, Shirou-kun?"

"No, get out of here with the brat right now!"

Why did you help us to this extent? You could have just ignored us.

Liu Dao Lingxia stared intently at Shirou.

It seems they won't give up until they answer her question.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Looking at Jack, who was sleeping peacefully, Shirou said, "You knew this was a bad thing, yet you were still determined to bear the sin. Not for anything else, but for this brat."

If it were to fulfill Jack's wish, Rokudou Reika wouldn't hesitate to become a demon.

Shirou believed that this was by no means the "correct" way of being a person.

If there were "partners of justice" in this world, she and her daughter would undoubtedly be judged as the villains.

Everyone would say that.

Even so─────

Even if all of humanity condemns me for being wrong, I will still risk my life without hesitation for the only thing I hold dear in my heart.

I admire you very much, Miss Lingxia.

As Shirou stroked Jack's head, he heard the woman gasp.

She smiled, a genuine smile of pleasure on her face: "Shirou-kun, you're such a strange person... Hehe."

Now that things have come to this, Shirou seems to understand why he was summoned by Ayaka Sajou.

My Master and Rokudou Reika—they are really similar in some ways.

Lacking a strong sense of morality, they are capable of committing any heinous act (evil deed) for the sake of someone they cherish.

Shirou sighed and slapped the girl's cheek: "Hey, brat, get up! Get up now!"

Jack the Ripper opened his eyes and then clung to Shirou again, but was pushed away with a look of disgust.

"thank you very much."

Liu Dao Lingxia took Jack's hand, ready to follow Shirou's orders and leave this place of trouble tonight.

"Alright, alright, let's go."

“I will never forget this kindness, and I will repay you one day.”

"I think you probably don't have a chance."

Liu Daolingxia shook her head and said firmly, "No, this child and I will definitely repay you... Come on, Jack, say it too."

"Thank you so much, big brother! You made Mom smile! Goodbye~~!"

And so, Liu Daolingxia left happily with her daughter.

"My daughter..."

Shirou stood at the third-floor window, watching the figures of the mother and daughter disappear into the night, and suddenly felt a pang of melancholy.

In fact, when Rokudo Reika asked her why she wanted to help, Shirou didn't give her the full reason.

Besides admiring her unwavering determination to protect Jack, there's actually another reason.

Shirou felt he simply couldn't abandon this pitiful and pathetic mother and daughter.

"I wonder if it's because of the influence of this spirit origin."

"Speaking of which, I remember King Arthur (Artoria) also had a child, that was..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door behind me.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock," came the very urgent knocking on the door.

Shirou closed the window, walked to the entrance, and reached for the doorknob—

The next second, the door suddenly exploded and shattered into countless fragments.

A wooden shard, like a Claymore mine, shot towards Shirou, but he was prepared and casually stepped back, dodging the ambush.

When Shirou heard that Jack the Ripper had escaped after fighting a Servant, he realized that this place might be the target of his wrath.

That's why he was so impatient to urge Liu Daolingxia to leave quickly.

According to the kid, she was fighting a "Red" swordsman tonight.

"Alright! I finally caught you! Die, Assassin!"

Mordred laughed loudly and swung his magic sword at the target behind the door.

At this distance, the Rebellious Knight was confident he could take down the mere assassin in one strike.

I failed to completely kill Archer before, but I won't repeat that mistake this time...

"!?"

When Mordred saw the enemy's face clearly, her eyes widened, and the magic sword she was swinging froze in mid-air.

Father...King...!?!?
