A certain worldline

The boy wanted to become Hero of Justice.

It sounds like a ridiculous ideal, something most people stop mentioning once they get past a certain age—but for a teenager, it's their entire pursuit.

We want to achieve a happy ending for everyone, and we're willing to make any effort just to see everyone smile.

The youth's will was more resolute than his.

Ironically, the ideal that the boy regarded as a belief was not actually generated from the boy's original consciousness.

That was someone the boy respected more than anyone else. On that hellish night when they first met, the expression on that face, as if the boy had received a great salvation, touched him and even made him feel happy.

"If I could become that kind of person, I would protect everyone's happy smiles," the boy thought.

It sounds grand, but it's not actually that simple. To the world, the individual is far too insignificant... Even if a great person achieves extraordinary feats, how vast is the "world" they actually encounter? How many individuals can truly be included within each other's worlds?

For the somewhat aloof boy, since that man passed away and his long-time caregiver left, the people around him were nothing more than his nominal sister, the boss who freeloaded meals, the junior who often helped out, the trustworthy student council president, the shop owner and his family who took care of him when he worked part-time, his classmates who could be considered classmates, and the people who lived next door.

A teenager's world isn't big—not that he ignores other people's difficulties, but as long as he doesn't deliberately meddle, there aren't many things a teenager needs to protect.

I wish I could live such a peaceful life every day.

The boy sincerely hoped for this.

His younger sister was fighting with a strangely dressed man wielding a dangerous weapon—realizing this took Shirou Emiya a little while.

It was just a spear, but in that guy's hands, he could actually create wind pressure. Is that something a human could do? Even Fuji-nee couldn't do that.

Shirou had some confidence in Jizi's swordsmanship. Although she looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, there shouldn't be many people who could defeat her in a one-on-one situation—that is, within the human realm.

Having witnessed the gun's destructive power, Shirou wasn't foolish enough to believe that the person in the blue bodysuit was "human."

In just one or two rounds, Jizi was pushed to her limit. The crimson spear tip slammed down from above, while she gripped the iron bar, assuming a counterattack stance.

No! We can't force it!

However, both of them had already launched their attacks and couldn't retract them.

The iron rod, which had only been slightly Reinforcement Magecraft, was split in two by its sharp tip. It continued to fall until it reached Jizi's heart, at which point it suddenly stopped and then thrust hard.

"Ugh!"

"Jizi-- "

Shirou hadn't dared to make a sound for fear of distracting Jizi. His instinctive scream after seeing her severely injured by the man was abruptly cut short by the killer's next move—teleporting next to Shirou and piercing his chest.

Am I going to die?

Shirou's consciousness gradually faded... He hadn't even accomplished what he was supposed to do, and he was dying without knowing why. He had sworn to protect those around him, but he could only watch helplessly as his family died before his eyes.

This is permissible!

With unwavering willpower, Shirou stubbornly kept his eyes open, but his bloodshot vision blurred his senses. Before losing consciousness, he seemed to see black mist rising faintly around Jizi's corpse not far away.

However, the boy did not die.

His sister's friend, a descendant of a prominent family living in the mountains, arrived at the last moment and saved his life with a very precious treasure.

Why save one person and not the other? Aren't they clearly closer?

Only when the boy questioned him did the shock on his savior's face appear.

After exchanging information, the boy learned that when the woman arrived, all she found was a "corpse." His sister, who should have been lying nearby, was nowhere to be seen. She also assumed that only the boy had been attacked, so she chose to save him.

The two later conducted various searches, but their family members, with whom they had lived, seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Driven by deep regret, the boy embarks on an extreme path to prevent similar incidents from ever happening again. First, he teams up with a sword girl he unexpectedly summons to resolve an anomaly in his hometown—a process that comes at a heavy price, including the loss of his father's biological daughter and his kind and supportive junior schoolmate. Afterward, he travels the world as a freelance Magecraft, saving every life he can.

However, the boy was still just a human being—and human strength has its limits.

The boy, who finally fell into a desperate situation during an operation, made a contract with the world to save other lives and achieved a "miracle". However, he ended up with a tragic and ironic death due to the betrayal of his companions.

Even so, the boy did not hate humanity, and after his death, he became Heroic Spirit and continued his work of protecting. However, as time went on, he repeatedly had to kill a few people in order to save the majority.

"Is this really what I dreamed of?" he questioned.

He had already realized that his immature sense of justice had led to this situation.

When exactly did things begin to change? When did the originally pure will become distorted?

If we could start over from that point, would we have made better choices?

-------------------------------------Notes------------------------------------------

1. Srvant's body disappears immediately after he dies—that's why Jizi can't be found.

2. Red Archer's information before his death is very vague, probably intentionally by Nasu, so don't delve too deeply into it. This is just a general explanation that Red Archer will reappear. Anyway, there are many parallel storylines in the Moon World, so it's not surprising that there is one, right?

3. The relationship between the Shirou and Jizi is just like that between family members; don't overthink it!

4. Here, Red Archer's wish is still to erase himself, but the methods won't be as extreme as in the original story. It's similar to how if he could protect everyone during the Fifth Holy Grail War, Shirou Emiya wouldn't have gone to that extreme and could have continued his peaceful life, and the tragedy wouldn't have happened. However, the possibility of him taking drastic actions cannot be ruled out, as he is still very angry with Nobunaga.
