I don’t know why, but even though I’m afraid of getting along with others, I actually enjoy the process of getting along with them.
It's strange.
I am a 29-year-old adult woman, but I can get along with them so easily.
Although it was just a common occurrence in school, Gina stored it in her memory as if it were a treasure.
Its preciousness even far exceeds the various game records he has set.
If I had been their classmate in high school, school life would have been very interesting.
This was the emotion that emerged in Gina's heart at that moment.
All three of them are mavericks who will not change their behavior because of other people's opinions.
Toosaka Rin doesn't care about what outsiders think. She only does what she thinks is right. Otherwise, she wouldn't have decided to stand up against the rule of the Western European chaebols.
This is especially true for Shirou Emiya. His stubborn character will not change no matter how many times he is admonished. Even Toosaka Rin can only sigh and express her helplessness.
As for Shinji Matou, he claims to be a genius. Even after so many failures, he still maintains his pride and everything he does is based on his own ideas.
It is precisely because these three people possess such unique characteristics that they can see themselves without any color.
Gina was originally worried that her cowardice and her ridiculous reasons for participating in the Holy Grail War would be despised by them.
But except for the negligible Matou Shinji, neither Emiya Shirou nor Toosaka Rin showed any contempt.
However, he was still scolded by Toosaka Rin.
Even though she was much older than Toosaka Rin, she scolded herself as if she didn't care at all, scolding herself who was already an adult but not mature at all.
Of course, there was also Shirou Emiya's attempt to stop him and Shinji Matou's undisguised ridicule.
Afterwards, they formed a united front and their target immediately shifted from themselves to Shinji Matou.
Maybe Gina herself didn't realize it.
It is precisely because I have been a recluse at home for the past fifteen years and have had almost no communication with the outside world.
She longed to live with her living parents, be an ordinary nerdy high school student, go to school and go to college normally, have ordinary friends and a boyfriend (if she could get one), and live the life of an ordinary girl.
Deep down, Gina herself doesn't want to stay at home forever.
She wanted to change, but she didn't know how.
She wanted to take that step into society, but staying at home for a long time and having almost no communication with others made this step extremely difficult.
Therefore, when Gina heard that there was a holy grail that could fulfill any wish, she was inexplicably drawn into the process.
Of course, she also knew that she would not die.
Toosaka Rin explained to herself using a lot of professional terms and her own in-depth exploration of the rules of the Holy Grail War.
Although he fell asleep halfway through listening, he was woken up again by the furious Toosaka Rin and scolded.
But the general answer Gina could get from the explanations of Shirou Emiya and Rin Toosaka was that she would not die.
And all these were done for him by Karna, his servant who was like a father to him.
Gina looked at the setting sun, her eyes filled with gratitude and apology.
Although he is Karna's servant, he has to learn about everything he has done for him from others.
He was like a child and did not understand Karna who was trying to help him.
After understanding all this, she suddenly had a lot to say to Karna, but she no longer had the chance.
If she had the chance to meet Karna again in the future, she would definitely express her apologies and gratitude to him.
As for now, let’s play a game for a while————
Gina, who had calmed down, didn't have much else on her mind. She was a very simple person, if it weren't for this Holy Grail War.
Gina will probably stay at home until she dies.
And where did these devices in front of her come from?
Those were all carried over from the warehouse by Shinji Matou with great difficulty.
Gina was too embarrassed to say it out loud, because she wasn't sure whether these people could be considered her friends, and this matter didn't seem to be very important.
So Gina kept it to herself until Toosaka Rin asked.
Then, for some reason, everyone's eyes turned to Matou Shinji, who was lying on the hospital bed and laughing again.
"Why--?"
Although it was just a glance, it was as if they had been together for a long time, and Shinji Matou immediately understood what these people wanted to express.
"Huh? Emiya and I are both injured, and Gina is so weak right now, so of course this kind of thing has to happen to you!"
Toosaka Rin put her hands on her hips and explained the past to Matou Shinji as if it was a matter of course.
“I’m a patient too!”
Shinji Matou immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Don't think I don't know. Your injuries have long been healed. Those potions are equivalent to a simple healing magic. They are more than enough to treat your injuries in these few days. You can be said to be taking up public resources and staying in bed all the time—"
"you--!"
"What do you mean, is there anything wrong with what I said? Shinji, the world's second best student?"
“Ah ...
Shinji Matou scratched his head angrily, got up from the bed reluctantly, and walked out of the health room.
In fact, if Shinji Matou really refused, Toosaka Rin would naturally not be able to do anything to him.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Shinji Matou really did consider them his friends in his heart.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to help do such things.
Chapter 598: March Winter Tree
The sound of light breathing rose and fell, lingering in such a simple room.
Lying on the bed, Shirou Emiya, who had been lying there since returning from the infirmary, suddenly regained his composure and his breathing also became steady, not as bad as before.
Under such circumstances, Shirou Emiya's eyelids suddenly trembled and slowly opened.
"Well--!"
As soon as he woke up, Shirou Emiya felt the still intense pain in his body.
The body did not recover as easily as before.
"Is the magic power inside almost exhausted?"
Emiya Shirou couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
For a long time, it can be said that without Avalon, he didn't know how many times he had died.
No matter how strong one's will is, one cannot resist the death of the body.
This is something irresistible.
Shirou Emiya also often pays attention to the condition of Avalon in his body.
Even after learning a lot of magic knowledge from Toosaka Rin, Emiya Shirou discovered that every time he recovered, Avalon's magic fluctuations would become weak.
Until I returned to my own world, it seemed as if it had been replenished in some way, and the magic power contained in it began to continuously increase.
But now, when he entered the spirit world before, he had already consumed a lot of magic power in the spirit storm to maintain the integrity of Shirou Emiya.
After that, they experienced a series of fierce battles, and Shirou Emiya continued to suffer various forms of injuries. They even rescued Shirou Emiya from the hands of death.
The magic power contained in Avalon was rapidly consumed without any replenishment.
"We can only take one step at a time--"
Emiya Shirou could only mutter to himself.
He never fought for his life just because he could be healed by Avalon.
A battle in which one's life is at stake is a battle in itself worthy of being fought.
Whether for himself or to save others, Shirou Emiya will never be stingy with his life.
Rather, it is because his life has always been treated as the cheapest by Emiya Shirou, which is why he fights so desperately.
“Ding ding ding——!”
Soon, a sound came from Emiya Shirou's terminal.
[The second code key has been generated in the arena.]
Looking at the message above, Shirou Emiya remembered that there were only two days left until the final battle.
These days, Shirou Emiya did not go to the arena. He basically stayed in the academy to recuperate with the help of recovery potions.
Shirou Emiya did not intend to wait until his injuries were fully recovered, he just wanted to reduce the impact on the battle.
Moreover, he did not waste his time. He practiced his projection techniques every day and gained a deeper understanding of the treasures he projected, striving to use them more skillfully.
Live up to the heroic reputation of these weapons and be able to unleash their full power.
"It's time to set off——"
Shirou Emiya let out a long breath and came to the entrance of the arena again.
After all, the person he has to face this time is his very familiar good friend - Toosaka Rin.
This was his first time stepping into this arena.
But the familiar feeling that came over him made Shirou Emiya stop in his tracks.
Dense woods surround the stone steps.
The joyful calls of birds could be heard one after another.
A gentle breeze blew from the front, and under the sunlight, a mountain gate appeared at the end of the stone steps.
"Ryudo Temple——"
Emiya Shirou's brows furrowed.
You should know that in order to take tutoring classes, Shirou Emiya came to Ryudo Temple almost every day during the holidays to visit Mr. Kuzuki and Kazunari Ryudo.
He was very familiar with the gate of Ryudo Temple. Almost the moment he saw it, Shirou Emiya realized that this was Ryudo Temple.
“Squeak, creak—!”
But before Emiya Shirou could confirm his position in the arena, strange cries were heard all around him.
The monster has discovered Shirou Emiya's presence and begins to attack him.
The flying monster suddenly rolled up its wings, clenched them into a fist shape, and swung them heavily towards Emiya Shirou.
"call----!"
The heavy blow caused the strong wind to be blown to both sides, making a whistling sound.
With the end of each round, the strength of the monsters in the arena continues to increase.
The monster that appeared now was far from being comparable to the monster that first appeared on the island.
"laugh----!"
With a faint sound of breaking through the air, the figure of Shirou Emiya, who was already wearing the evil spirit's cloak, disappeared completely.
The monster that had originally launched the attack suddenly froze in place, looking around for Emiya Shirou.
"Destroying these monsters will take both energy and time. We should find the code key as quickly as possible!"
Shirou Emiya had no intention of fighting at all. He instantly left the battlefield and entered an invisible state under the effect of the evil spirit.
Although Shirou Emiya is participating in this Holy Grail War as a Master, in reality, Shirou Emiya's current strength is at the Servant level.
Acting alone, Shirou Emiya does not need to consider protecting others. He can completely ignore these monsters and search for the code key as quickly as possible.
Many times, Shirou Emiya did not think so comprehensively. It was not until he met Li Shuwen, who was able to hide his aura, that Shirou Emiya realized that he could completely ignore these monsters and save a lot of time.
"As expected, this is Fuyuki City—!"
With his wings spread and flying in the air in stealth mode, Emiya Shirou could easily perceive that this urban maze constructed by Mooncell was modified from Fuyuki City.
