"Shiro Emiya, now do you understand the meaning of your decision?"

Kimura said in a cold voice, destroying my defense line word by word.()()()

"Your words can determine the life and death of everyone present. If you nod, you can save Tosaka who worked hard to save you, and Saber can live. The way to save everyone can be accomplished with a nod."

I hesitated to look at Tosaka, the girl who died in order to save me.

I agreed not to show mercy and decided that it would be an enemy in the future, but she still came to help me who was already an enemy.

Now she was looking at me with desperate eyes, waiting for my decision.

"And there is also saber. I have many ways to get her. At worst, I can summon you again. I will ask for your opinion just for the simplest way. If you object, it will only make me trouble. Do you understand?"

"Arrogant man-! Shut up immediately! I'm going to knock you down below!"

Saber clenched his fists angrily, standing weakly and firmly beside me.

Even though she was so angry that she wanted to rush out, she could no longer fight happily.

Even the goal she had always expected to protect me could not be achieved. The girl's angry eyes made me suffer. ()

If I shake my head, she will die in the next moment.

——Die for me.

I clenched my fists tightly, and my teeth were clenched to make me bleeding.

Why did I decide this?

If you choose to let everyone survive, you must give up saber and break your promise.

As per my own wishes, everyone will die, including myself.

In this case, isn't my decision very obvious?

Want to save people, want to save more people.

Haven’t I always had this wish since I survived the sea of ​​fire ten years ago?

As long as I nod, my wish will be fulfilled.

But an invisible force stopped me.

If that happens, saber will leave me.()

I decided to repay her ideas well, but I could never do it again. ()

The promises made to her were betrayed like this.

...There is no way.

In order to keep everyone alive, why can't we sacrifice our greedy idea?

But why sacrifice this?

Why do I sacrifice my will? Why is it not my life that I sacrificed?

In order to keep Saber alive, I would rather give my life.

But I just don't want to go against my will.

I once fantasized that through sacrifice, I could make everyone live happily.

In the past ten years, isn’t this the justice I long for the most?

But now, I can't do it.

“saber…”

I looked helplessly at the girl who was guarding me, and a murmuring sound came from my mouth.

When did it start? I became dependent on her little by little and could not make my own decisions with my back to her. ()

Saber stared at my eyes, his pale face with a blush of excitement.

"Shirou, you know my heart, and I swear to you, you are the master I guard. I'm sorry that my incompetence has put you in a dilemma. But I still ask you not to lose my last glory."

Is glory really more important than your life?

I noticed my thoughts when I was almost angry and roared.

Isn’t it because I found something more important than life?

Although it is selfish, I want to give everything to exchange it, including my life and other people's lives.

I-want saber.

I want to stay by Saber's side, it's better to be longer. Even if the ending is death, I don't want to give up.

"Saber, I'm sorry..."

Kimura's gloomy face finally showed a smile. Maybe he thought he had won.

"...I'm not a qualified master. I've been trying to save me again and again. Now because of my mistakes, I have to let you face this failed ending. () Sorry, I didn't help you get the Holy Grail."

Saber looked at me in surprise, then showed a happy smile, like a clear spring washing my guilty heart.

"Well, no - Shirou did a good job, I'm very happy to be Shirou's servant. As for the Holy Grail, if my honor is needed in exchange for it, I would rather not have such a thing!"

Although I'm sorry, please accept my apology.

Then use my life to protect you.

Looking at Saber's pure smile, I made a decision secretly.

"Shiro Emiya--You have ruined everyone's lives with your own hands! This time, I will never show mercy!"

Kimura, who was entangled by disappointment, took off his gentle shell, pointed at me and roared angryly, and his handsome face was distorted with ferocious anger.

"I will save you until the end and let you see with your own eyes that saber becomes my server!"

This time, saber ignored the other party's crazy words. With a voluntary waving, the magic wind wrapped her up.

After appearing from the wind that was much weaker than before, she had put on a war skirt and held the invisible sword in her hand.

She was too weak, and she didn't even show her silver-white heavy armor. She was so thin just wearing a war skirt.

However, her eyes still maintained a fearless fighting will.

"Shirou, Rin, I'll stop killer, you guys will seize the opportunity and leave."

Tosaka looked worried and stopped me before she nodded.

"No, this is not enough! I rushed over with Saber, Tosaka followed us immediately, and if you have the chance, use magic bullets. As long as we restrict the killer, you will run away immediately."

"Shirou—"

"If we don't have time to say it, we can create greater opportunities if we go together."

Although worried, Saber finally agreed to me.

"Emiya Shirou——"

This time, the one who called me was Archer. At some point, he had quietly retreated.

"I didn't expect you to make this decision to die. It seems that saber is more important than life in your eyes."

Archer directly expressed my selfishness in one sentence, which made me so panicked that I was at a loss.

"This is just that I promised to Saber..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Try to stay away from me later. As long as berserker and killer are by my side, it will be fine if I keep them all."

Archer said something more shocking than before.

"Then, you can all leave. Shirou Emiya--your wish can be fulfilled."

As if I had seen through the wish that I had hidden deepest in my heart, Archer said in his eyes.

The Servant, who has always disliked each other, seems to be the one who knows me the most.

Maybe it is because I also noticed this that I can't like him.

"Have you finished your last words? I didn't give you too much time. Berserker, kill them!"

Iriya's clear voice as bright as a silver bell said coldly.

"Don't worry about saber, I will save you."

As if he was singing the opposite, Kimura chuckled at Saber. At this time, he ignored me and Archer, as if we were dead.

Responding to Iriya's order, berserker rushed into the passage.

In order to deal with the killer who returned to us, there was no room for dodging in the narrow passage.

Compared to berserker, his thin body stood proudly and said without looking back:

"It's time to leave Shirou Emiya, you can take them away."

I ran to the killer at the door with Saber, Tosaka followed closely in our footsteps, and at this time, I seemed to hear another voice behind me.
