Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

Shirou underwent a tremendous transformation on a physical level, perfectly recreating himself ten years in the future.

Although he is far from his prime, and even his face is still the baby face that Morgan would laugh at, and his height is still less than 170cm.

But that's enough.

That's enough for him to draw the sword in front of him.

He grasped the sword buried in the burning earth.

Without hesitation.

If there is a sword stuck in the ground in front of you, then there is no reason not to pull it out.

Shirou drew his sword.

Finally, thinking that he should at least glance at "that" before turning away—

As expected, the man standing there was named Amamiya Shirou.

That was a past life that the boy had once abandoned, a past life he thought he had forgotten.

……

……

"——————————!!!"

That was an impact that every magician and servant who participated in this Holy Grail War could feel, an impact powerful enough to make one's soul tremble.

What was initially thought to be another gas leak in Fuyuki City turned out to be the birth of something very powerful.

The hero-king Gilgamesh was the first to sense this powerful aura.

He narrowed his bloodshot eyes with an unhappy expression, as if looking at something farther away than the end of the night sky.

A few seconds later, a smile appeared on the King of Gold's lips.

“…………Faker”

Gilgamesh turned to the magician standing to the side.

"Tokiomi, I forgive your previous rudeness."

“Ah, yes…?”

"Hmph, it seems there are a few rather interesting bastards in this Holy Grail War."

When Tokiomi Tohsaka saw the King of Heroes' expression, he was taken aback and a thought popped into his head.

The final Servant has finally appeared.

The mysterious Servant, who could not be observed by the "Spiritual Weapon Disk," has finally revealed himself.

Faker?

Is that his job rank?

Just like the Avanger summoned by the previous Einzbern, it doesn't belong to the Extra class of the Seven Knights.

Faker!

……

……

At the same time, Rider and his Master were riding on the Divine Bull Chariot, transforming into a streak of purple lightning speeding through the night sky towards the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

"Um……?"

Sensing a powerful aura, Rider suddenly pulled on the reins, the bull roared, and the supersonic chariot came to a forced stop hundreds of meters in the air.

"Uh? Uh ...

Webber Wilvet screamed as his slender frame was thrown off balance by the braking inertia. Just as he was about to hit the ground, a large, strong hand grabbed him.

"What are you doing, Rider! Why did you suddenly brake?! I almost fell to my death! Are you trying to kill me?!"

Weber was like a rabbit caught in an adult's hand, flailing his arms and legs and shouting loudly.

However, Rider did not refute this. He simply put the Master back in his seat, then pinched his chin and observed the direction in which the sea monster was moving.

"I originally thought that monster was already quite formidable..."

This is truly something extraordinary...

……

……

Saber and Lancer, who were engaged in fierce combat, jumped backward at the same time.

They remained wary of each other, then simultaneously turned their gaze to the distant place where "something" was born.

Irisviel bit her lip and silently prayed for the boy in her heart.

"You must be safe and sound, Shirou."

……

……

As Assassin, who was weaving through the skyscrapers, sensed a sudden shift in the city's atmosphere and stopped in his tracks.

She couldn't hide her astonishment and muttered to herself in a daze.

"This aura, could it be..."

The man lurking in the darkness moved the Walter sniper rifle mounted on the infrared night vision device and turned the scope to be near the Sea Demon.

His killer instincts told him that something earth-shattering was about to happen there.

……

……

Her fiery red hair swayed in the night wind.

The twilight-colored pupils were calm and gentle, yet revealed a kind of inhuman, inorganic texture.

They can't be categorized as attractive; in fact, they could be described as ordinary.

However, any woman would be deeply attracted to him—it was his boyish face that exuded such incredible magic.

At first glance, he appears somewhat slender and frail, but in reality, once he takes off his clothes, he reveals a well-trained, strong, and robust physique, which contains martial arts skills that have reached a state of perfection and an infinite number of swords.

"..."

Lady Avalon silently watched Shirou Amamiya retrieve the "future," then gave a dazed smile.

Welcome back, "My Arthur".

……

……

Okay, let's get ready.

After taking a few seconds to check the condition of his new body, Shirou took a deep breath.

A brilliant fluorescent green light illuminated the thick night fog.

"--Projection, start (Trace On)."

This sentence is not only the incantation of the projection magic, but also the awakening switch for Amamiya Shirou to switch personalities.

A body that exists only for fighting, and a mind that exists only for survival.

Shirou uses projection magic to switch the functions of his brain, not to switch his body for combat, but to change his brain and body for combat.

From then on, muscles no longer functioned in a biological way, blood vessels changed the direction of blood flow, and even breathing became unnecessary.

That's right. Shirou completely eliminated the "human" part that was useless in battle and replaced everything with parts and gears for battle.

Spread fear and slaughter demons.

Suppressing calamities and devouring cities.

That tyrant who ravaged and dominated Britain with overwhelming power—

The Nameless King has returned.

Volume 1, Chapter 60: The King Descends from the Sky and Kills Him in One Strike (5K)

Sorry, Saber.

Actually, I lied to you.

What kind of child is Shirou Amamiya in your eyes?

Gentle and composed.

They hate evil, are eager to help others, are full of a sense of justice, and cannot ignore the evil deeds happening before their eyes.

That's how you see me, and I'm sure Irisviel feels the same way.

Fujimura-nee, Sakura, Shinji, everyone in the Fujimura group, everyone who knows me thinks this way.

—I am not that kind of person.

I do believe that justice and order are important, and that morality and conscience are what make humans human.

I know it very well, I know it all too well, which is why I "performed" like this in front of everyone.

If I don't live like this, I'll never find my "home".

But... that was never the real me.

From that day on, when I should have suffered endless torment from the demons and died, but was accidentally saved by the witch—

After waking up, I lost the ability to perceive "happiness".

Shirou Amamiya became a dull machine who "couldn't laugh," and he found it difficult to understand human "happiness."

Even when we're all happily gathered around the table for a meal, I still don't really understand what's so interesting about it, or why everyone's laughing like that.

I have never felt happy doing good deeds.

The reason I abide by the law, peacefully enjoy my daily life, and gently help others is actually to better understand the people in this world.

Everything is done out of self-interest.

Once you understand what the other person cares about and how they think, you can easily use them to achieve your own goals—that's what I did in Britain.

Whether it's friends at school or older sisters at home.

A netizen you've never met, or perhaps it's you and Irisviel.

To me, you are all the same; you are objects to be "observed".

If you can attain "happiness", can I also attain "happiness" through the same method?

I want to know the truth, so I decided to use you all, and I will continue to use you to achieve "happiness"... Please continue to take care of "gentle me" in the future.

In the end, no one but Morgan saw through my true colors.

Before his death, Zouken Matou seemed to have sensed a trace of my true nature, and Lancer also seemed to have noticed something amiss. They had both deviated from humanity.

Oh, and on the day I moved into Amamiya Mansion, a stray cat that wandered into the house ran away as soon as I got close.

Shinji said, "Animals are very intelligent and can distinguish between good and evil in humans. They must have sensed malice."

No wonder animals have been my natural enemies ever since I was in the Fairy Kingdom, and even crows don't want to get close to me, because I'm not a normal creature.

That seems to have gone a bit off-topic.

Anyway, I'm sorry, Saber.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm definitely not the kind of person you imagine.

Then, naturally—

When I saw Caster die but the grimoire didn't disappear, I immediately knew what was going to happen next.
