The next day, a ramen shop.
While Shinji was taking a big sip of ramen, which he asked not to add Mapo Tofu, but the store added a large spoonful of ramen without permission, he was also stunned when he saw Shirou pushing in the door with a serious look on his face.
Especially the first thing the other party said after pushing the door open, it almost made Shinji spit out the ramen.
"Shinji! Today we have agreed to go to the temple together to pray for this world and the people of this world. Do you want to go together?"
Looking at Shirou who was standing at the door and saying this with a serious expression, Shinji's eyes twitched, and several black lines slowly fell on his forehead uncontrollably.
Brother, I was really just joking yesterday!
"Are you serious?"
After a long while, Shinji asked silently.
At this time, Shirou also took a step forward, clenched his fists and said extremely seriously, "Of course I am serious! If I can only pray, then I will seriously pray for this world and everyone!"
"Uh..."
The noodle stall owner was shocked and speechless by Shirou's operation. After a moment of silence, he pointed at Shirou and asked Shinji.
"Did your friend hit his head with something?"
"Uh..."
Shinji thought for a while, and then replied silently, "If I insist on saying it, it is probably because I was hit by justice, and the result was the root cause of the disease for ten years."
There is indeed something wrong with this friend's head. After all, ordinary people would not take it to heart after hearing such joking remarks, but with him... he has changed!
"But then again, Emiya."
Shinji, who thought of something, looked at Shirou again, and at the same time reached out and pointed with his thumb at the noodle stall owner who was wiping the dishes, "Actually, this guy happens to be a priest or something. Can't you just come to him and pray directly? He will also say a few words, "Don't worry, the Lord has heard your voice" or something."
Hearing this, Shirou also looked at the very familiar ramen shop owner with a paralyzed face, and shook his head seriously after a few seconds.
"No, you have to go to the temple! And you have to be sincere!"
I feel like this familiar-looking priest will fool me!
This is the subtext of Shirou.
"That's enough! I said we were just going to visit the temple here! Shirou You are too serious!"
Illya finally couldn't help it. He pouted and pushed Shirou away and walked in. Then he started pushing Shirou outside the store.
"Okay, okay, he's not the type to go to that kind of place, we can just go by ourselves! Ha Yaku——"
"Wait Illya, Shinji haven't said not to go yet, and if you have decided to pray, it would be better if we all go together, okay?"
After Shirou was pushed out of the door by Illya, Shinji also clearly noticed that Saber's expression behind him was a little subtle.
Based on the analysis of the opponent's gaze trajectory at the last moment, Shinji finally found the destination of the opponent's original gaze - ramen.
This kind of thing... the other party also likes it?
"Saber, want to..."
Before Shinji, who was pointing at the ramen, could finish his words, Saber suddenly became excited and said incoherently, "You... you... what are you talking about! Shinji Matou! How could I want to eat that kind of devilish food! I don't like that kind of thing at all! It's strange that someone can eat that kind of food!"
You ate two bowls the day you first arrived!
Shinji complained in his heart, and then waved his hand nonchalantly. "Ah, if you don't like it, forget it. I originally wanted to treat everyone to a bowl of noodles."
!
The stupid hair stood up and fell down again. This performance also fully reflected Saber's mood gap in this second - it was like falling off a cliff!
At this time, a blue-haired young man wearing a shirt and trousers walked in carelessly across Saber. As soon as he entered, he looked at the noodle stall owner and exclaimed.
"Oh! Ahahaha! Just like Bazett and the others said, it's really Kotomine! The owner of the ramen shop is really suitable for you Kotomine, ahahaha..."
Kirei Kotomine frowned. "Who is this man who looks physically uncomfortable? Is he also your companion?"
"No, I don't know him."
"Hey! I don't know what you mean, kid!"
"A bowl of signature Mapo ramen, guest." The noodle stall owner said as he handed a bowl of red ramen to the table.
"I didn't order anything like this!"
"Sorry, any customer who comes into our store must order a bowl of signature ramen. This is our store's rule."
"Forced buying and selling?! Which store in this world has such a rule!" Lancer also argued with reason.
"My shop in this world."
Kirei Kotomine, who was holding a large brush, also erected the long wooden sign that had just written this rule before it was dry, and faced the lancer directly without fear!
At this time, Lancer also thought of something and couldn't help but smile easily, "Hey, Kotomine, it seems that your brain has really become difficult to use. Don't forget that in this modern society, there is such a thing as a consumer association!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lancer suddenly saw Kirei Kotomine silently picking up another sign that said "After the Disaster? Fuyuki City Consumers' Association General Office".
lancer:...
At this time, Saber, who couldn't tolerate this unfair behavior and couldn't stand it, stepped into the ramen shop without thinking.
I... I have to fight against this evil force that buys and sells by force!
With Saber thinking like this, she was also ready to speak up for Lancer, but before she could open her mouth, a bowl full of red Mapo Tofu ramen was placed in front of Saber by the paralyzed store manager.
"Guest, your special Mapo ramen."
"Hey? What's going on? Why are everyone crowded here..."
Before Luvia opened the curtain, another bowl of special Mapo ramen was prepared by Mapo at lightning speed and placed in front of the counter.
"Please use! Signature Mapo ramen!"
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Giant Hero, who had not seen many people going out for a long time, also followed Luviya and opened the curtain...
In the end, everyone was involved.
"Lancer is dead!"
Watching Scylla, who was eating a bowl of ramen with his head buried on the table and making no sound, Shinji was also surprised.
"No... no humanity..."
Miyu Jiang, who was clutching her belly and still had red chili oil residue at the corner of her mouth with dull eyes, turned her face sideways and answered such a joke angrily, and then she also made no sound at all.
Looking at the bowl of ramen lying on the table, it was obvious that one or two had already gone away... Countless people, Shinji, also had a little curiosity about whether the authentic Mapo ramen was really that spicy.
Of course, it's just a little bit of curiosity. Shinji himself has no intention of trying it at all.
Looking at Mapo who was lamenting today's business, Shinji couldn't help but sigh.
Having completed double-digit kills in one go, Mapo is so difficult to deal with in any world and is a boss-like character!
"Since you are the thousandth customer to enter the store, this special double spicy signature Mapo ramen belongs to you!"
Looking at the red Mapo ocean that was placed in front of him, Shinji couldn't help but be stunned.
After being stunned for two seconds, Shinji also raised his head and silently looked at Mapo, who was looking at him expressionlessly from above...
Scylla, saber, three Emiya Shirou, Lin, Luviya, Bazett, Illya, Miyu...
Plus Shinji Matou.
Eleven kills!
Clang! The game is over!
The winner is-Kirei Kotomine!
"Ah, this is serious, this is True Magic damage."
In front of the vending machine, Shinji, who had downed two bottles of dairy products, still felt a little burned in his stomach.
As for Shirou and others on the side, except for Red A, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, and Scylla, who was thrown upside down in the snow to prevent the body from deteriorating and producing body odor, all of them were squatting on the ground against the wall, shrouded in the shadow of Mapo!
One day, perhaps everyone will remember again the horror of being dominated by Mapo Tofu!
"Okay, things in this world are over, it's time to go back."
Shinji threw the bottle in his hand to the trash can aside and said this very normally.
"Eh?!"xn
"Eh what? Aren't you ready to go back?"
"No, this world hasn't yet..."
Shirou just spoke, but then he remembered the fact that Shinji had declared that this world could not be saved, and his words stopped.
"Well, it was a little troublesome when I went back. Hey, can you do it with that wand?"
"Hey~!" A certain unruly wand emerged from a girl's chest in an instant, and then said, "It can't be done~"
"Well, if you can do it, please..."
Shinji spoke subconsciously, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly reacted, half-lidded his eyes, looking at this unscrupulous wand with a speechless expression.
"Although Ruby-chan, I am the product of Second Magic. In theory, it can be used to travel freely through Parallel World. In fact, it can only allow me to travel through Parallel World by myself. It is not possible to take people through it!"
Shinji:...
"Hey! What do you mean we can't go back?"
Luviya stood up, put his hands on his hips and raised his eyebrows in an imposing manner, and asked a ladylike question!
And from the towering mountain peak, Shinji, who felt the pride of the other party's nobles, couldn't help but feel frightened!
"You..."
Feeling Shinji's gaze, Luviya couldn't help but frown again, thinking that this Shinji Matou, who is full of fans, could be a deceiver or something, right?
"Don't get me wrong, I just have the habit of predicting the enemy's movements by observing their breathing and the rise and fall of their chest. It has become something like instinct, so I do it subconsciously..."
Seeing Shinji who said nothing more and could not feel any intention of lying, Luviya finally did not continue to struggle with this issue.
After all, this person... is his hope to become a disciple!
Saber stood up at this time and said with a serious expression.
"I've heard of this secret skill. It's an extremely advanced secret skill that only those who have reached a certain level of martial arts can predict the enemy's actions through breathing."
Everyone who saw Saber testified for Shinji, and Luviya's remaining doubts were instantly thrown away.
"No! Wait! Didn't we just talk about going back?" Illya reminded him at this time.
"Are we saying that we can't go back?" Bazett asked with a raised eyebrow, feeling the urge to go back quickly to check Shinji's body!
"Sword Comes"
After all, yesterday I heard that strange Servant (Empress) say that the one who supports Servant is Shinji's Life Force, so there might be some sequelae in his body!
"No, you can go back."
Shinji shrugged his shoulders, and then looked at a figure that was walking slowly not far away, like a lone wolf on the snowfield.
――Julian? Enzworth!
In fact, Shinji sometimes doesn't understand some things in this world that are similar to family love.
Just like Giant Hero and Miyu, Giant Hero hopes that Miyu will go to another world to live a carefree life, and Miyu will really be obedient and go to another world.
Because of your brother's wish, you don't want your brother anymore?
Of course, Giant Hero is unwilling to go there. Well, the reason is probably because of a good gay friend who sensed the similarity.
Directly above Great Void, looking at the people standing in the pit who were reluctant to say goodbye to Giant Hero, Shinji always felt as if he had forgotten something.
Even the appearance of a certain Golden Flash who had been wandering outside all day could not remind Shinji of what he had forgotten.
Until——
"Hey, Shadow Clone should be released, right?"
Looking at Rin who asked him this question with one hand on his hip, Shinji then thought of something.
Gan! I forgot about the real Rin!
No wonder I always have a lot of heads no matter how many I count!
You can imagine Shinji's expression on Rin's face at this time, and his expression is also a little subtle.
It is certain that he will get angry, but how can he be coaxed?
Just when Shinji was secretly distressed, Miyu on the side was holding Giant Hero's hand with tears in his eyes and spoke reluctantly.
"Brother..."
"Don't worry, Miyu, I'm fine. As long as you can live a happy life."
Giant Hero smiled and comforted Miyu, and then glanced at Julian who always had his trouser pockets inserted and had a cold face.
My good friend has changed back, so how can I ignore him?
And there won't be any enemies in this world for the time being. The world with only you and your gay friends is complete!
Julian, who noticed Giant Hero's gaze, curled his lips in displeasure and made a tut, UU Reading
Emiya Shirou This is what makes this good person so unhappy!
I don't need friends at all! Not at all!
I don't feel lonely at all, not at all!
"Brother, I want to stay with you..."
Miyu burst into tears, full of love for his brother, while Giant Hero said the same sentence, "You are happy is my biggest wish."
Looking at the two people who were still refusing to let go, Julian hadn't started scolding yet, but Shinji had started first.
"Ah! It's so annoying! Aren't you Holy Grail? Can't you just make a wish for such a small thing? Why do you have to make it so troublesome!"
"Huh?"xn
Everyone looked at Shinji at the same time, and then everyone discovered that the card in the opponent's hand was the rider's card that had been taken down by the opponent from the beginning!
"Give me the rest of the cards."
Looking at Shinji who stretched out his hand, Bazett thought for two seconds.
"This is what Mage's Association asked to take back..."
"Is this card Mage's Association's?" Shinji asked.
"No." Bazett shook his head.
"So why do you have to hand it over to the Mage's Association? It's not theirs. They want to take everything for themselves. Are they bandits?"
Bazett thought about it and felt that what Shinji said was reasonable!
Shinji, who got the remaining cards from Bazett and Illya except for the destroyed caster card, also took a full six cards in his hands.
An eye-popping scene happened. Shinji crushed all the cards at the same time with one hand!
"Okay, let's make a wish, girl."
