Some things can only be understood from the inside out by seeing and hearing them in person, at least that's the case with Pandora.
Without meeting Pandora in person, the best outcome Shinji could think of was that the other party could firmly reject the mission that was imposed on him by who knows who.
With this determination, the world will inspire the contradictions of the myth itself, and finally let these contradictions and distortions bring the myth to a successful conclusion.
However, when facing Pandora and feeling the other party's deep despair, Shinji gave up this idea.
After all, the deep despair of the other party can only be eliminated by the operation of Illya in the original work by traveling through time and space and going back to the past to be friends with the other party.
Other than that, there is no way to eliminate it. Six thousand years have made the despair so deep that it cannot be eliminated.
Asking the other party to abandon that mission or something like that is just like a pipe dream and is impossible to achieve, so Shinji changed the script and started the performance on the spot with an on-site screenwriter.
When no one was causing trouble (Golden Flash, Young Golden Flash), the actors also cooperated very well and allowed the script to be performed smoothly.
Although there was an actor (Darius) who was not satisfied with the script from beginning to end and even had doubts about it, it did not prevent the scene from being completed smoothly.
"Speaking of which, are you... okay?"
Rin thought of something, pointed at Shinji, and turned away silently.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Shinji was confused.
"That's it. That woman said Life Force at that time."
"Oh, you're talking about that." Shinji suddenly realized it, then sighed bitterly and shook his head, "It's true, that really cost me a lot of life."
Hearing this, Rin's heart tightened, and the worried look on his face could no longer be hidden.
Rin originally thought that the Life Force that the woman was talking about might be the feeling of converting Life Force (vitality) into magic power like a Magecraft master. After consumption, it can be replenished by eating or sleeping.
Unexpectedly, the other party's Life Force turned out to be something like an overdraft lifespan!
"How much... wasted?" Rin asked pretending not to care.
"About fifty years or so."
"What?!"
Rin became excited instantly, and even got so excited that she subconsciously grabbed Shinji by the collar, and wanted to scold him, but in the end she swallowed her words again for not caring about her body.
In the end, Rin just shook his head and couldn't help but cursed, "You idiot...!"
"I didn't expect that one move would consume so much. I thought it would only last twenty years or something."
Hearing this, Rin couldn't bear it anymore and directly grabbed Shinji by the collar and cursed, "This has nothing to do with twenty years or fifty years! That's your lifespan!"
"I regret it too. Maybe I should have left it alone. As a result, I can only live to be over nine hundred years old now."
"It's not that you don't care, it's just that you find another way that doesn't consume your lifespan..."
Before he finished speaking, Rin suddenly noticed that a certain number in the sentence the other party had just said was a bit harsh, and he raised his head and looked blankly at Shinji with a regretful expression on his face.
A long while.
"Huh? What did you just say?"
"I said I regret it."
"No, I'm asking about the last sentence, what's the word for gulgnawmeivinevinegarniukefeng?"
"You are over nine hundred years old, what's wrong?"
"Okay! I've confirmed that I heard it correctly!"
Having said that, Rin held her forehead and fell into silence. After all, no matter how much she thought about it, Rin could not have imagined that the other party's lifespan would be so long! Is it a big deal that I can still live for more than nine hundred years?
"Tohsaka? What's wrong with you?"
"Stop talking and leave me alone!"
"By the way, were you worried about me just now?"
"I told you to stop talking and leave me alone! By the way, who is worried about you? I have never been worried at all! By the way, why do you live so long? What do you want to live for so long? You must have overgrown!"
Shinji folded his hands and said in a very natural tone that made people want to hit someone, "What do you mean by this, why do you live so long? Of course you live."
Rin:... Okay, I admit what you said makes sense!
Of course, in addition to some strange emotions in her heart, the careful Rin also thought of another level.
If the other party can live that long, then after a hundred years of acquaintance with the other party, the other party will live alone.
Thinking of this, Rin couldn't help but feel nervous and even panicked.
Living alone is also a very lonely and painful thing, but... it might be better if there is a rider.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
Rin, who was a bit annoyed, turned his face away again. He was a little angry when he thought that after he died, Shinji would live a two-person world with Rider who was still alive!
Shinji, who had seen through Rin's thoughts, also curled his lips, but he did not expose the other party's little thoughts, but changed the subject.
"Tohsaka, to be honest, I am a very selfish person."
"I've known this for a long time!"
"So, for me, if I don't want to lose people, I will force them to stay, unless they want to be freed from this world."
"Huh?"
Rin was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned his head and stared blankly at Shinji who said these words.
From Rin's perspective, the other party's words seemed to mean that he wanted the important people to stay by his side forever!
And, I don't know why.
Rin felt like this sentence sounded like a confession!
"Who... who wants to live with you for so long! And it's too domineering! I don't like this feeling!"
"Really? If you don't like it, forget it."
As he said that, Shinji also looked at the small bottle in his hand with regret on his face. "I originally wanted to give you one of this Youthful Visage Pill."
"Huh?" Rin narrowed his eyes, "What is that?"
"Literally, it's a medicine that can keep a person's appearance at the most youthful and energetic moment for life. It was a by-product that I accidentally came up with some time ago when I was studying the best way to fry melon seeds."
"It's just two different kinds of research, okay?"
Rin also complained instantly, and at the same time snatched the small bottle from the opponent's hand with lightning speed. After all, no woman in any world can refuse this temptation of eternal youth.
"You are really a weirdo. First there was Third Magic, then there was a ring with a similar application to Second Magic, and then there was this drug that has the power of a god."
At this time, Shinji suddenly fell silent, raised his head and stared straight at the ceiling calmly, and spoke again after a long time.
"Yes, sometimes I feel that I am a bit incredible. As long as you study hard, you can understand the origin of everything."
Rin, who didn't hear the other side of Shinji's meaning, curled his lips and muttered in a low voice bitterly.
"This kind of arrogance is what makes me most uncomfortable. If you are really that powerful, you can help Jewel Sword complete it for me if you have the ability!"
"If I help you, wouldn't you feel that life has lost its goal and meaning? Is this Tohsaka Rin?"
Shinji spoke. Over the years, Shinji was very clear about the pride of the other party.
Just like Jewel Sword, there are obviously ways to get Red A to help Projection come out, but for so long, they haven't mentioned it at all, and they just want to do it on their own!
"Hmph! That's of course! It's not me to rely on other people's strength! I will rely on my own strength to complete the tasks assigned to Tohsaka Residence by Grandmaster and bring Tohsaka Residence to a successful conclusion!"
"In that case, let me give you a little suggestion."
Rin's ears twitched.
"What advice?"
"Then stop thinking about perfecting Jewel Sword by studying that ring. Although the theory of that ring is similar to Second Magic, they are fundamentally two different things. To be precise, that one does not belong to the category of True Magic or even this world."
"Not of this world?" Rin looked directly at Shinji, thoughtfully.
"Okay, okay, it's time to go back. I feel a little uncomfortable after staying here for so long."
"Wait a minute!"
Rin once again grabbed Shinji, who was about to stand up, and then with a serious expression again, he pointed at the light curtain full of snowflakes that was about to disappear.
Question: "Miyu What was the last wish she made? Why did the screen disappear after she made the wish?"
"Do you still need to ask this kind of question?" Shinji glanced at Rin strangely, "Children, of course, will make the simplest wish to make everyone happy."
"Make everyone happy?" Rin didn't quite understand and asked doubtfully, "That kind of wish is impossible to fulfill, right? After all, the world is about to be completely destroyed, and Holy Grail's abilities are limited, so..."
"Why do you feel connected to the world when it comes to happiness? Isn't personal happiness happiness?"
"Can't you make it clearer? Do you have to just say half of it?"
"It's very clear, Haofa! Her wish is that she doesn't want to be separated from her brother, but also wants to continue to be with Illya and you! Personal happiness! Happiness! Do you understand?"
"Uh..." Rin originally wanted to shake his head, but under Shinji's somewhat subtle gaze, he had no choice but to agree.
"... I seem to understand."
"Anyway, children's wishes are pure, so I think..."
As he said that, Shinji also looked at the light curtain that was gradually disappearing. "Holy Grail should also respond to her. Okay, it's time to go, hurry up..."
"Wait! There's one last question!"
"You have too many questions, don't you?"
"The last one! Is that the stunt you told Luviya about predicting the opponent's movements by observing the opponent's breathing through the ups and downs of his chest? Is that true?"
Looking at Rin with a slightly subtle expression, Shinji also lied without thinking, "Of course it's true!"
Snap!
"Ugh!"
"Liar!"
Rin instantly pushed his hand upwards and pushed hard on Shinji's chin, sending him flying more than one meter high.
"Because you never look at my chest when you talk to me!"
Thump!
After landing, UU Reading
Shinji also subconsciously defended himself. "That's because you didn't... ahem! That's because you are not my enemy! Believe me! That's true!"
"You bastard! Pervert! Bastard! Idiot! Go to hell!"
Rin, who heard the first half of the sentence clearly, rushed over instantly, rode on Shinji and started a set of Whimpering Combo dedicated to Shinji!
But at this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Then what... do you still need a long time?"
Hearing the voice of Young Golden Flash, Rin also stopped what he was doing in an instant.
Young Golden Flash scratched his head and said, "I'm just here to collect my castle, but if you still need some time, I can lend it to you for a few more hours."
Rin: "No need!!"
