Hearing Sakura's answer, Emiya Shirou breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put her down.
"Oh! Senior, can you please care about me? I am a beautiful young girl, and I fell down. Senior, you are so heartless!"
Seeing that Emiya Shirou was still concerned about Sakura, BB immediately put his hands on his hips, puffed up his cheeks, and looked angry.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The three people present looked at each other, as if they said something, but also as if they said nothing.
"BB, did you come here to say something?"
It was Emiya Shirou who spoke first. After all, looking at BB like this, it seemed that she could really ignore the gazes of the three of them and continue in this stalemate.
"Ah! What was I supposed to do here? I fell down just now, and my head is buzzing, so I seem to have forgotten—"
"Ouch! All I remember now is that I fell down—"
Looking at BB's somewhat naughty look, it seems completely different from his previous strategizing look, and seems to be more real.
Did she look like she was in control of the situation before?
However, it is an indisputable fact that everyone should be taken into account.
Even the people in the old school building are now troubled by BB.
To be honest, if it weren't for BB, not all of the 128 Masters selected to participate in the Holy Grail War would have survived.
But there are regrets. After all, there are a total of 999 people participating in the Holy Grail War, and only 128 people are left after the preliminaries.
After hearing BB's words, Emiya Shirou could only sigh helplessly and walked towards BB who was lying on the ground.
"Shirou——!"
Jeanne, who was standing in front of BB and pointing the flag at her, immediately looked at Shirou Emiya with a worried look on her face. She could feel the powerful force coming from BB's body. If BB suddenly attacked and hurt someone, with her ability, she would not be able to stop it even if she could react.
Rather, BB can even deal with them without any effort, which shows the absolute difference in their strength.
But this did not prevent Jeanne from cautiously reminding Shirou Emiya.
Shirou Emiya nodded to Jeanne, signaling her not to worry. If BB really intended to take action, they would not be alive today.
"So what happened to you?"
Shirou Emiya came in front of BB. He seemed to notice that BB was emotionally uneasy. He frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to BB like a gentleman, asking questions.
"Senior, are you caring about me?"
Listening to Shirou Emiya's words, BB felt a warm feeling in her heart for some reason. Even though she and Shirou Emiya were enemies now, she had also thought about what Shirou Emiya's attitude would be.
She even said that she had accepted a head-on confrontation with Shirou Emiya, possibly a life-and-death confrontation.
But I didn't expect that I would actually hear such caring words from Shirou Emiya's mouth.
However, the next second, words that made BB's heart stop came out of his mouth.
"Yes--"
Shirou Emiya did not hide his emotions at all, or rather, there was no need to hide them. Perhaps caring about enemies was a strange thing for others, but it was very normal for Shirou Emiya.
What's more, Shirou Emiya never felt any malice towards him from BB from beginning to end, and he didn't have a good impression of BB at the beginning.
She imprisoned everyone here, took away other people's Servants, and launched an attack directly towards the old school building.
But after several encounters, after calming down and thinking about it, Shirou Emiya found that what BB did was not something that was disgusting.
Although she imprisoned everyone here, forced them to join the game she created, and forced them to conquer the maze.
But compared to that brutal fight, it was much better. Moreover, she even saved all the masters who participated in the election.
This is something that Shirou Emiya has always wanted to do but has been unable to do. If he could obtain the Holy Grail, his wish might be to save all those who participated in the Holy Grail War.
Sakura also said that BB's purpose is to achieve the continuation of humanity through Mooncell. No matter what she does or her purpose, it is all for humanity and for everyone.
It's just that doing so may lead to worse consequences, and humans are not yet at the point where they must rely on Mooncells to survive.
Leo, Toosaka Rin and others went to the moon not to achieve the continuation of humanity through Mooncell. They all believed that humanity can continue.
Although BB's personality makes it difficult for Shirou Emiya to deal with him, he does not hate such an enemy, let alone detest him.
Shirou Emiya's straightforward answer made BB speechless for a moment, and she forgot all the words she had prepared. She suddenly didn't know how to face Shirou Emiya, and her little devil attitude disappeared uncharacteristically.
Sincerity is always a must-win.
But she was a baby after all, and she was only stunned for a moment, her face slightly reddened, and she immediately returned to her little devil attitude with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Then he grabbed Emiya Shirou's hand and exerted force.
"Oh! I feel dizzy!"
Shirou Emiya only felt the soft flesh suddenly hit his chest, and a very light fragrance wafted from in front of him.
BB actually hugged Shirou Emiya, who had no idea how to react, and rested her forehead on his shoulder.
Hard, hard.
Jeanne's fist hardened.
Then, gentle words rang in Emiya Shirou's ears.
"Please let me lean on you for a while—"
BB hugged Shirou Emiya, leaning against him in an extremely relaxed posture, with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was resting.
Chapter 756: The Little Devil is Still the Little Devil
She wasn't worried about not being able to reach Mooncell.
The back side of the moon belongs to the "recording universe". The flow of time is different from that of the "observation universe". The present, past and future exist at the same time.
"BB has reached the Mooncell core" is a fact that exists here, and it is because of this fact that she can possess such powerful power.
Only then can we build a place called [Sakura Maze].
This exists as a fact, not as a possible future.
At this moment, BB is in a superposition state of not arriving at the Mooncell and arriving at the Mooncell.
The reason why everyone fell to the back side of the moon was not because BB pulled them all in, but because BB gained control of the Mooncell.
If BB didn't gain control of the Mooncell, she wouldn't be able to pull people like Emiya Shirou into the back of the moon.
What BB does is to let the future influence the present.
Since Shirou Emiya and the others have already arrived at the back of the moon, it must be true that BB has gained control of the Mooncell as a prerequisite for this matter.
Realistically speaking, no matter what Emiya Shirou does, he can't stop BB from reaching the Mooncell.
But it doesn't mean that BB will be lazy just because of this fact.
She even didn't realize that in addition to her feelings for Emiya Shirou, she was also driven by the desire to gain control of Mooncell.
Shirou Emiya's pace was so fast that BB had to go all out to move towards the Mooncell.
According to BB's original plan, maintaining adequate rest, designing new mazes, adding new puzzle elements and new enemies, and occasionally interacting with Shirou Emiya, it is estimated that it will take at least ten days to half a month to reach the Mooncell.
The actual time may even be longer.
But now she had to abandon all these plans and devote herself to going to Mooncell, trying to reach Mooncell within a few days.
BB, who had spent a lot of energy on it, really felt tired, both physically and mentally.
During the brief break, BB thought of Shirou Emiya.
Looking at the baby leaning on Shirou Emiya, Sakura wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end.
Just looking at this unbelievable scene in the old school building.
If Leo were here, he would most likely suggest using a beauty trap or something like that.
After all, Leo, who is now the president of the student union, is even more out of touch than when he was on the surface of the moon. There is a contrast that is simply unbelievable.
Perhaps it was because the relationship between them was not that of enemies but of companions, or perhaps it was because he, who had never experienced campus life, was enjoying being the president of the student union and leading everyone.
"Thanks--!"
"But, Senior, aren't you too unguarded?"
It seemed that her anxiety was soothed and her fatigue was wiped out, and BB returned to her previous role as a slightly naughty yet tough little devil-like school girl.
A wave of magical power emerged from BB's body.
Shirou Emiya did not let his guard down. Even though he knew that the hug from BB in front of him was a genuine emotion, he was still not defenseless against her.
As BB opened her second sentence, a reverse blade was projected on Emiya Shirou's hand.
But in the face of BB's absolute strength, everything he did was in vain.
He only felt that his head was hit by an extremely heavy blow, just like when he was kidnapped by BB. He lost consciousness instantly, and the double blades that were swinging towards BB also made a metallic sound and fell to the ground.
"Shirou——!"
"call out--!"
With a cry of surprise, the silver tip of the gun suddenly turned into a phantom and pierced BB's neck cunningly and viciously, heading straight for his throat.
The speed was like lightning.
However------
“Kara, Kara——!”
The tip of the gun stopped less than an inch in front of BB's neck, but it was unable to advance and pierce into it.
Countless black substances clamped Joan of Arc in all directions like chains, making her unable to move at all.
All he could do was watch as Emiya Shirou was held in BB's arms.
Sakura, who was far away, tried to use her authority to remove BB's control over Jeanne, but she didn't know where to start.
The permissions that BB possesses are almost equal to those of Mooncell itself. Sakura is just an advanced AI. The permissions set by Lilith can still be cracked, but the permissions set by BB can only be cracked if she deliberately left loopholes.
Otherwise, Sakura would have no way to crack it.
"Don't look at me so warily. I won't do anything to you, senior. It's just that your pace is too fast. I plan to delay you for a while."
"Senior hasn't had a peaceful rest in a long time. All I'm doing now is to let him rest peacefully for a whole day. There won't be too many problems."
"It can even be said that the senior's physical injuries will be slightly healed by this——"
Looking at the two people who looked extremely nervous, BB sighed and explained aloud why she would attack her beloved senior.
She just wanted the senior to have a good rest, she didn't have any bad intentions.
At most, it can only delay Shirou Emiya's progress.
"What on earth do you want!?"
Jeanne's magic power surged, and she stared at BB with a serious face, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from the restraints of these things.
"I told you not to worry. I just came to check on the senior's condition. Who told you to always disconnect the surveillance, so I have no idea what the senior's physical condition is-"
BB made a helpless sound. Most of the area on the 17th floor was covered by the Infinite Sword System. She could indeed use her own power to devour the Infinite Sword System and bring it back under her management.
But this kind of thing is completely unnecessary for BB. After all, Shirou Emiya and the others will eventually explore further down. She only needs to observe through the surveillance on the 18th floor.
As a result, they directly hacked the entire 18th floor's surveillance. If she hadn't been too tired from heading towards Mooncell day and night and wanted to take a break and check on the situation over at Emiya Shirou's, she wouldn't have noticed that the 18th floor had become like this.
“Gulp gurgle gurgle!!!!!!”
As she finished her words, countless pitch-black substances emerged from around her and poured into Emiya Shirou's body.
"!!!!!!!!!"
Chapter 757: It’s better to change homes than to steal them
When Shirou Emiya regained consciousness, he found himself lying on the bed, and everything around him was so familiar.
This was his room after all, the one place in the entire mansion that had not been destroyed.
There was no pain, no dreams. For Emiya Shirou, he just closed his eyes and opened them again and he was back in his room.
