Sakura smiled and looked at Emiya Shirou who still seemed to have doubts.
Suddenly, Emiya Shirou seemed to have thought of something and sighed slightly.
He also vaguely guessed why Sakura in this world kept resetting this day.
Just from her claiming that she was an AI and her abnormal physical condition when he first met Sakura, Shirou Emiya had some guesses in his mind.
I'm afraid that by the next day, Sakura will disappear for some special reason.
But he didn't expect her to make such a decision in such a short time.
I didn't expect that Sakura would leave so completely.
But even if he knew, Shirou Emiya had no way to help Sakura. He could only try his best to accompany Sakura and make Sakura feel happy in this repetitive day.
It is impossible for Shirou Emiya to really stay with Sakura in this world forever.
Whether it was the door that was bound to appear anyway, or Sakura who was waiting for him at home, he couldn't stay here.
He also couldn't think of any way to save her.
So, under so many factors, Emiya Shirou chose to accompany her to the best of his ability and give Sakura the happiness she wanted during these days.
Do you blame yourself?
He blamed himself for being so powerless.
Guilty?
He felt guilty. He felt guilty that he treated her like this because he mistook her for Sakura.
Regret?
Regret, he regretted that he did nothing even though he knew Sakura might disappear like this.
But now, no matter what was said, that Sakura was gone, and she would not come back no matter what Emiya Shirou did.
What's more, there was nothing Emiya Shirou could do.
Having understood what had happened, Shirou Emiya's eyes became filled with guilt and self-blame, but he quickly regained his determination because now was not the time for him to be so depressed.
He has to go back and find a way to rebuild his body.
The simplest and most direct way now is to participate in this Holy Grail War and obtain the Holy Grail.
What's more, Shirou Emiya had no right to refuse in this Holy Grail War.
Whether Shirou Emiya is participating voluntarily or forced to do so, he must participate in this Holy Grail War just to survive.
"Sakura, do you know where I can summon a Servant?"
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Sakura, Emiya Shirou asked slowly.
"At the end of the corridor on the first floor, if a magician has recovered his memory, he should be able to find something unusual. That is where the magician summons the Servants."
Sakura did not refuse Shirou Emiya's question and replied to him seriously.
"Thanks--!"
Shirou Emiya also quickly thanked him, then got off the bed and walked towards the exit of the health room.
At this moment——
"Senior, please wait a moment——!"
Sakura called out to Emiya Shirou.
"This is the special bento I made. I hope you can accept it!"
Even though her self-awareness had been suppressed again, the girl named Sakura still couldn't help but want to give him the lunch box she made herself.
"Thanks--!"
Shirou Emiya looked at Sakura, whose expression was calm and he thanked her once again. He then steadily took the lunch box that Sakura handed over and walked towards the end of the corridor on the first floor.
"You bastard! Who are you? Why are you in the infirmary?!"
A slightly arrogant voice came from in front of Shirou Emiya. It was from a man with seaweed-like hair and wearing a school uniform.
His eyes were full of disdain for Emiya Shirou who walked out of the infirmary.
No, it wasn't a look of disdain towards Shirou Emiya, but a look of extreme disdain towards everyone around him, a completely self-centered look.
"Shinji?"
The moment he saw this man appear, Shirou Emiya paused slightly. Even in another world, would a man named Matou Shinji have such a bad personality?
However, Shirou Emiya has gotten used to Shinji Matou's arrogant attitude. After all, this was Shinji Matou's personality when he was in middle school.
"Humph! If you know me, then just get out of the way! Also, I don't know you at all, don't call me like that! You make it sound like I know you very well!"
As if he had heard Shirou Emiya's mumbling, Shinji Matou proudly placed his hand on his forehead, revealing a smile that seemed to have won the hearts of thousands of girls, and then he yelled at Shirou Emiya with disgust.
At this moment, a shout came from behind Emiya Shirou.
"elder brother--!"
That was Sakura who came out to check after hearing some noise outside.
"Wait a minute, you bastard. I have something to tell Sakura—!"
Looking at Shirou Emiya who still didn't move, Shinji Matou put on a sour face, and then looked at Sakura who seemed to be hiding behind Shirou Emiya in fear.
“Get out of my way—!”
Looking at Sakura hiding behind Emiya Shirou, Shinji's anger instantly surged to his head. He walked towards Sakura in one step, as if he didn't take Emiya Shirou seriously at all, and stretched out his hand with great force.
"despair--!"
The sound of flapping was heard in the air at this moment.
Shinji Matou looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Shirou Emiya looked coldly and slapped away the hand that was stretched out towards Sakura.
Chapter 533: Tracking at the End of the Corridor
“You bastard—!”
Finally, at this moment Shinji couldn't suppress his anger and swung his sword fiercely towards Shirou Emiya's face.
Immediately——————
“It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!!!”
Just as Shinji's hand was about to be swung, it was grabbed from mid-air by Shirou Emiya, who then twisted it to the side with a slight force.
The intense pain forced Shinji to wail in agony, half-kneeling on the ground as he watched his arm being slightly twisted and pulling on his shoulder.
"elder brother--!"
At this moment, Sakura Matou also screamed and grabbed Shirou Emiya's arm tightly, trying to make him put Shinji down.
The whole process only lasted a few seconds before Emiya Shirou let go of his hand.
Shinji, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was also breathing heavily, staring at Shirou Emiya with unwillingness and anger in his eyes.
Shirou Emiya could feel that he was ready to punch him again at any time. This kind of unwillingness and determination was something he had never felt from Shinji before.
"Who are you? I want to communicate with my sister. It has nothing to do with an outsider like you!"
Shinji Matou was extremely angry and puzzled. He just came here to remind Sakura Matou not to skip the Kyudo Club's morning practice again and not to embarrass himself. Who did he offend that he met such a person?
Although it was indeed his seemingly unfriendly attitude that started it all, this was normal for Matou Shinji. After all, he was a genius.
"How can someone talk to his sister in such an attitude?"
Shirou Emiya retorted without any hesitation. If he were to ask why, it was because he had seen Sakura coming to school with injuries more than once, and he had also seen Shinji attack Sakura in a very rude manner more than once.
Shinji has been using this excuse to prevent himself from getting involved, but how could he let Sakura endure such treatment?
So from then on, even if Shinji used such an excuse, Emiya Shirou would still stand up without hesitation to stop Shinji.
Of course, here it was Shirou Emiya who had preconceived ideas, even though Shirou Emiya reminded himself that this was just a parallel world and the people in this world were different from his own.
But when he sees someone with such a similar personality, Shirou Emiya will still prejudge the person he has met into the picture.
He still couldn't imagine why his good friend had become like this, a scumbag that made him feel so disgusted.
Although in this world, Shinji Matou really just wanted to remind Sakura Matou about the Kyudo Club and had no other thoughts.
"Huh? We are siblings. I don't want you to——"
Before Shinji Matou could finish his words, he seemed to remember something. He covered his face with one hand and put the other hand on the ground. With an extremely puzzled expression, he looked at Sakura Matou who was standing next to Shirou Emiya.
At this moment, Shirou Emiya felt that something seemed to have changed in Shinji Matou.
"No! No!"
Shinji Matou, who was half-kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up and shook his head while looking at Sakura Matou.
“Wait a minute—!”
Then, ignoring Shirou Emiya who was standing beside him, he looked at Sakura Matou again with a scrutinizing gaze, and scanned her from head to toe.
He covered his head with his hands, an extremely ugly expression on his face.
"Sister? Sister? I don't seem to have a sister, right? Although I have always wanted a sister, I don't think I have one—"
Shinji Matou, who was standing in the same place, no longer had the idea of attacking Shirou Emiya, but kept muttering to himself.
Emiya Shirou looked at Shinji with a puzzled look.
How come there is no sister?
Then he looked at Sakura beside him.
The worried look on Sakura's face disappeared completely, leaving only a robot-like coldness. It seemed as if she was prepared for Shinji's reaction and she didn't show any strange expression at all.
At this moment, Shirou Emiya remembered that Sakura in front of him was really just an AI with almost no self-awareness.
"Uh ...
At the same moment when Shirou Emiya looked at Sakura beside him, Shinji Matou howled in extreme pain. This howl felt even more intense than when Shirou Emiya twisted his arm.
He scratched his head anxiously, as if he had remembered something, but couldn't bring himself to recall it.
“How weird! So weird! This intense feeling of disharmony, and you——!!!!”
Shinji Matou's eyes were filled with bloodshot at this moment. He scratched his head frantically and ran towards the corridor behind him.
Behind him, beside the stairs, stood a young man with short black hair and wearing a school uniform.
The moment Emiya Shirou saw him, the boy retreated in fear and disappeared into the corridor.
Perhaps it was because he and Sakura had spent too much time on the same day, Shirou Emiya himself had actually begun to accept the sense of incongruity and emptiness coming from the academy.
He didn't immediately react to what Shinji felt.
That was the feeling I got when I first came to this school.
The end of this sense of disharmony is at the end of the corridor on the first floor.
He had already discovered where this sense of disharmony ended, but Shirou Emiya himself did not have the thinking mode of a magus, nor did he know the rules of the Holy Grail War here.
I never thought that the end of the corridor was where I could summon a Servant.
"Shinji, are you a magician too?"
Shirou Emiya looked in the direction where Shinji left with some understanding. Is this the preliminary selection method that Sakura mentioned?
If Shinji hadn't suddenly felt a sense of disharmony and behaved strangely, Shirou Emiya would never have thought that Shinji Matou was not an NPC but a magician.
"Him too?"
Emiya Shirou looked in the direction where the black-haired boy in school uniform left.
He was originally panicking, but now he was following a man openly. Just by looking at his back, one could feel his noble temperament and the perfect sense of otherness.
For some reason, when I saw the back of the young man with short golden hair, I felt a sense of familiarity coming from him, as if I had seen someone very similar to him before.
But Shirou Emiya didn't remember it for a moment.
The young man seemed not to notice the existence of the black-haired boy at all, and walked forward very gracefully.
The black-haired boy Pi also followed closely behind him.
Their destination seemed to be the end of the corridor. Seeing this, Emiya Shirou also slowed down his pace and followed the black-haired boy.
