Chapter 61: The People Have No Return(1/2)
"That servant is just a shell, with something even more terrifying in his body. The heroic spirit without a body is nothing but delicious food for him."
"Varied--"
Tosaka's face turned pale.
"Only a magician who pursues the mystery of life and death will hear something about the thing that originates from the side of death. It is a death that has been decided before it has been obtained. It will never be able to get it. It pursues the desire for life in its heart and devours the soul that reaches the side of death. In other words, all our souls are its food."
Does caster mean a life that has died before it is born?
If you have not even experienced this world of life, you cannot describe it as life.
That thing has exceeded the scope in language that can correctly describe it.
It needs to feed on the soul, thinking that this will allow it to be alive.
So, even my saber was eaten by such a guy—!
Even the eaten server may include a lancer.
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists.
"But as you describe it, it just appeared in this world, what will happen, can it get life?"
"It is impossible. Its will is a collection of all deaths, including the entire world of death. Even if it absorbs a certain body, only its will may be able to obtain will. If the will on the side of death is to obtain a complete life, unless the will on the side of life is completely destroyed."
"Caster, you mean that even if it eats all our servers, it will continue to go—eat people. Until it disappears from this world, or destroys this world, right?"
The red knight's expression became serious.
"archer, do you want to exert your righteous heart again? A servant without a body does not even have the will to resist it. What can you do?"
"Hmph, weak woman. Even if we can't find a positive solution to it, we can take other measures."
Speaking of this, Archer turned his head inadvertently and looked at the boy who had not spoken beside him.
Caster's face changed, and just as he was about to speak, Tosaka quickly stopped the witch.
"Anyway, let's contact the pseudo-priest first and find a way to deal with the black server. I think no one will be willing to be someone else's food, right?!"
Tosaka's last sentence was too powerful to kill the caster. The witch's face changed again and again. She actually forced herself to let go of the tone in her heart and agreed to Tosaka's arrangement.
"So, can I go back and get my equipment first?"
Although it was originally his home, Tosaka still politely requested the caster.
"I can teleport you back too. If the priest in your mouth has no solution, I will send you both into its mouth."
When he agreed to Tosaka's proposal, the caster also put down his harsh words.
After solving the next solution, Tosaka was about to leave with the caster, suddenly, she turned around and walked to the silent boy.
"Shirou..."
The red girl called the boy's name and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
In order to save her, Saber participated in the battle without hesitation.
In order to block berserker, Saber rushed to the forefront of the battle alone.
However, the three major Servant teams did not win the battle, but were all seriously injured and sacrificed Saber to return safely.
Now facing Saber's master, she really doesn't know what to say.
"Shirou, I'm sorry."
Hearing the girl's apology, the boy raised his head and squeezed a smile on his face, a reluctant smile.
"This is her choice, don't apologize to me, she is for me..."
The boy can no longer say the following words.
"Come on, let's fight together and avenge saber, okay?"
The girl wanted to hold the boy's hand, but was avoided quietly.
"I'm very tired and want to take a break first."
A disappointed look flashed through the girl's face. She paused for a moment and said expectantly.
"I will wait for you."

A farce is taking place in front of me.
A crucial farce that concerns life and death.
The red girl is tenaciously mediating the conflicts between everyone, cheering down those who are depressed, and planning the next action.
——But, Saber is dead.
They discussed the identity of the murderer, the truth was the big devil who could destroy the world.
Even the men who had been staring at me tightly in front of me were attracted by their discussion.
——But, Saber is dead.
For victory, for justice, and for the world, we will destroy the great devil together.
Everyone was discussing the battle, did they forget it?
——Saber is dead.
Want to yell, want to attack, want to destroy.
However, I did nothing after all.
I am the one who has done nothing by simply immersing in the loss of saber.
What should I do?
I have no idea.
People with different moods go their separate ways.
In the lonely streets, there will be no more saber's shadow.
The body that lost its target and wandered in the dark, and didn't know where to go.
The girl in silver armor no longer guards me.
No longer blocking me from going anywhere, no longer walking with me, no longer protecting me.
Only this lonely body was left, moving forward like a walking corpse.
Walking through the street where saber and archer confrontation.
Walk past the intersection where Saber blocks berserker.
Walking across the bridge where Saber protected me home.
Walking through the supermarkets and parks that Saber has visited with me.
Walk through the school playground where Saber Game passed.
Looking at the empty lawn, a huge sadness suddenly overwhelmed me.
I knelt on the ground and cried silently.
Open your mouth wide and try to exhale all the sadness without making any sound.
It's good for a while, it's good for a while.
A girl who appears like a dream is destined to leave like a dream.
Now is the time when my dreams are broken.
Just stick to it, just stick to it.
I can return to my original life and a normal life.
No longer fight desperately and sacrifice your life blindly.
I can continue my ordinary life, no longer have wars, no more sacrifices.
I have not met a dreamlike girl, and I have not fallen in love with a dreamlike girl.
I will not sacrifice myself for strangers at will, and will no longer do things I cannot do.
Just as Saber expected, live an ordinary and happy life.
Saber—
But you have never had such a life.
In my memory, the place you have only run for yourself is the playground in front of you.
How despicable I am to let myself forget you who is so unfortunate.
Lying alone in the empty playground, I finally let my heart feel excited and let my tears flow freely.
For the first time in ten years, I cried so happily.
