"There's no problem protecting yourself. The outside of Orario shouldn't be as dangerous as when I was exploring the dungeon."
"Really? You have to run outside as soon as your injury heals. You really can't stop for even a moment."
In the tavern of the rich hostess, Mia couldn't help but complain out loud.
She thought she could find a good chef.
Ryu pulled Shirou Emiya aside, asked him to be careful, and told Shirou Emiya that if possible, he could go to the Sword City to meet the goddess of justice Astralia.
Shirou Emiya could only smile bitterly and nodded. After all, after leaving this time, he didn't know when he would return to this world, or maybe he would never come back.
"Really? Just throw the forged stuff here!"
Hephaestus seemed to be scolding Emiya Shirou with a somewhat unhappy tone.
Shirou Emiya could only scratch the back of his head and look at Hephaestus somewhat embarrassedly.
After all, in the past two months, Shirou Emiya has forged hundreds of weapons in Hephaestus's workshop.
Most of them are still unsold in the shops of Hephaestus's family.
But Hephaestus didn't care about it very much.
Then, Hephaestus waved to Shirou Emiya.
"I will give you the profit from the sale of these weapons! When you come back, remember to prepare a delicious meal to repay me for the cost of managing your weapons."
Emiya Shirou also nodded.
After several attempts and spending several days, Hephaestus finally forged the shield made of the world without using any divine power.
Shirou Emiya also solemnly put the shield into his night hat.
It was as if he was able to project a replica of the Sword of Contracted Victory because of Avalon that had been buried inside his body.
After forging, even if this shield is a divine weapon, Shirou Emiya can easily project this shield forged with his own [Infinite Sword Works] as the material.
On the one hand, Shirou Emiya observed the forging from beginning to end.
On the other hand, this shield is now more closely connected to Shirou Emiya than Avalon is to himself.
However, being able to use the real thing directly is naturally better than using projection products.
Even if this shield is closely related to himself, projecting it would consume a large amount of magic power, not to mention the need to release the treasure.
This shield, forged based on [The Small World Surrounding the Sky], has basically the same functions.
Basically, it can only block, but it is not possible to store [Infinite Sword Works] and release it at a later time without chanting.
It is only used as a defensive measure. Of course, you can also use the shield as an offensive measure like Achilles.
According to Shirou Emiya's name, this shield, like the spiral sword, is called the [pseudo-small world surrounding the sky].
The magic power required to release this shield is only half of the magic power consumed by Shirou Emiya to cast his own inherent barrier.
It can be said that Shirou Emiya's defensive ability has been enhanced to a great extent.
Shirou Emiya also went to Loki's family to say goodbye to everyone.
Tiona looked at Shirou Emiya with reluctance.
Bert said that this uncle would definitely be able to surpass himself within this year.
Ais also expressed her gratitude to Shirou Emiya in a dull manner, and said that she would not let down the dragon-slaying sword given to her by Shirou Emiya.
Finn and Grace both welcomed Shirou Weimiya who had joined their expedition team again a year later with smiles on their faces.
No one stopped Shirou Emiya from leaving, just like he still stayed alone to protect Finn and the others even after Finn said that.
It was as if everyone knew the current situation of the lower-level adventurers in Orario, but Shirou Emiya still stood up.
He is a very stubborn person and it is difficult for him to change his decision.
"Hey! Emiya, if you leave Orario, then I won't be able to eat the food you cook anymore!!!"
Hestia's tears gushed out. When she thought that she would never be able to get something for free again, no, she would never be able to eat such delicious food, she felt an intense pain in her heart.
Bell on the side was too embarrassed to even watch any further and kept reminding Hestia softly.
Emiya Shirou then looked at the young man who faced his fear and stood up in such a desperate situation.
Bell also sat upright and looked directly at Shirou Emiya. Even now, he didn't know what to say to Shirou Emiya.
At this moment, a short sword was taken out from Shirou Emiya's night hat.
"This weapon was purchased for you by Hestia—!"
"Hey! Lord God!"
Bell was somewhat flattered and took the dagger handed to him by Shirou Emiya, and looked at Hestia with gratitude.
"Humph! Of course, don't you see who you belong to?"
Hestia pouted, her face full of pride.
"Was this weapon forged by Emiya-senpai?"
After taking the weapon, Bell's expression became a little excited. He naturally knew that in addition to being an adventurer, Shirou Emiya was also an excellent blacksmith.
"Not entirely. It was mainly Hephaestus who did the forging, and I provided assistance on the side—"
Although Shirou Emiya's forging level is still not comparable to Hephaestus', compared to the beginning, he can now barely keep up with Hephaestus' forging, or at least provide some insignificant help when Hephaestus is forging.
However, the design idea of this weapon was the result of discussions between Shirou Emiya and Hephaestus.
"Try this weapon. It should have many functions!"
Bell excitedly waved the dagger in his hand. The moment he held the weapon, he felt like it was his other arm, so smooth.
"You can try to imagine a long sword—"
As Emiya Shirou finished his words, Bell, who was wielding his weapon, started thinking quickly, and the short blade in his hand turned into a knight's sword in an instant.
Then, Bell seemed to have discovered a new world and imagined the reverse blade used by Shirou Emiya. However, the knight sword in his hand did not change into the shape of Shirou Emiya's reverse blade.
Seeing this, Emiya Shirou also explained.
"It doesn't change into what you imagine, it just has a variety of different weapon forms--"
Seeing this, Bell sighed a little disappointed. It was not that he was not satisfied with the weapon in his hand. On the contrary, he was very satisfied. He just felt disappointed that he could not use the weapon used by Shirou Emiya.
Afterwards, Shirou Emiya briefly described this weapon to Bell. This was a variation of the [Devil's Haunting] that Hephaestus had provided previously.
Hephaestus is the goddess of forging. She is not like Shirou Emiya who simply copies weapons and then ignores them. She not only learns from them, but also optimizes them to a high degree.
Since this weapon can be transformed into armor, it can naturally change into other forms.
So during the discussion with Shirou Emiya, Bell's weapon was born.
As for how many forms there are, Shirou Emiya is not sure, because he is only an assistant and the main forger is still Hephaestus.
But this weapon can be continuously improved as Bell improves, and the weapon forms that can be changed will become more numerous.
It can transform into the most basic weapons like swords, spears, swords and halberds, but now it seems that Bell can only transform into these.
However, according to Shirou Emiya's judgment, it can definitely be transformed into armor covering the entire body like [Devil's Haunting]. After all, this is originally a variation of Devil's Haunting.
As for firearms, Shirou Emiya speculated that it should be possible. After all, Hephaestus had previously forged a firearm that could constantly change its shape.
When Shirou Emiya asked Hephaestus whether this short blade could release light cannons, Hephaestus said mysteriously, "Guess."
Of course, Emiya Shirou thought it could be done.
Unfortunately, Shirou Emiya was unable to project the weapon, and could only project its empty shell.
Although he was assisting, Shirou Emiya was only able to keep up with Hephaestus' forging speed and provide her with materials.
After Emiya Shirou said goodbye to everyone and reported his next itinerary to the guild, he quickly left Orario.
Shirou Emiya rarely has the opportunity to say goodbye to the people in this world.
In most cases, they leave suddenly without even having time to say goodbye.
Most of the time, it’s when their lives are in danger.
Also somewhere in the forest, Emiya Shirou pushed open the door that appeared in front of him.
Volume 10: Fate/EXTRA
Chapter 516: Sakura waits for Shirou Emiya's return as usual
"Senior, welcome back!"
Just like usual, Sakura looked at Emiya Shirou who walked out of the room with a smile and tenderness on her face.
"Are you here to clean my room again? Sakura--"
Emiya Shirou looked at Sakura with gentle eyes and couldn't help but look apologetic.
Every time I come back, the room is tidy. No matter how long I've been away, Sakura still tidies up her bedroom every day.
"No, it's nothing. It's Senior, your hair——"
Sakura looked at Emiya Shirou's head. The brown-red color that was originally full of life had completely turned into a deathly pale color.
Even though Shirou Emiya looked so healthy, Sakura could still feel his weakness.
She reached out her hand with great concern and touched Emiya Shirou's pale hair.
Shirou Emiya also stood in front of her, looking at her quietly.
He didn't know how to tell Sakura about his experience.
I also don't want to tell Sakura what I've been through.
It's not that Emiya Shirou simply wants to keep it a secret.
But even if you say it out loud, it won't change anything.
It would only make Sakura more worried for no reason.
He wanted to endure it all silently, but there was no way to cover it up so easily.
Tears flowed from the corners of Sakura's eyes.
It wasn't that she was angry at Shirou Emiya for hiding something from her, it was simply that she was extremely heartbroken for Shirou Emiya.
What kind of experience had he gone through to become like this?
"cherry--"
Shirou Emiya also stared at the tearful Sakura in a daze, not knowing what to say, and could only clench his fists tightly.
"It's okay, senior. I will wait until you tell me everything."
Sakura gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and then smiled again.
"But, Senior, I hope you can promise me that you won't work so hard in the future, okay?"
Sakura stretched out her hand and placed it tightly on her chest. Her heart was in great pain at this moment. Looking at Shirou Emiya who had aged prematurely, Sakura wanted him to stay here well.
“Yes, I’m sorry—!”
Emiya Shirou looked straight into Sakura's eyes. He wanted to speak, wanted to agree to Sakura's request, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't do it.
If he were to go through the past again, he would probably make the same choice.
"drink--!"
Accompanied by Fujimura Taiga's light shout, the training wooden sword cut through the air and hit Emiya Shirou's head heavily.
"it hurts--!"
Perhaps it was because Shirou Emiya's heart was now hanging on Sakura, or perhaps it was because Fujimura Taiga had some special abilities, the battle-hardened Shirou Emiya was unable to react at all to the attack of Fujimura Taiga who was holding a wooden sword in his hand.
"You made Sakura cry again, didn't you——!!!"
Fujimura Taiga's angry voice sounded from behind Emiya Shirou. Although it hit Emiya Shirou's head hard, she held back her strength and only felt the pain.
"sorry--!"
Shirou Emiya did not make any explanation. He covered the place where he was hit and apologized to Fujimura Taiga.
"Ha! Do you think that an apology will do you any good? Not only did you not go to school, you didn't even go to the final exam. Are you trying to piss me off to death? And you come back every time the holidays come! I see that you don't want to go to school at all!!!"
