Making Delta of Fate at the Start, the Group Chat Goes Wild

"There's hope now."

Shirou Emiya quickly took out his "Yu Ji Tu" (Yu's Footprints Map), enlarged it, and began to carefully observe its structure.

He had no formal training in engineering, mechanics, or structural engineering, but he possessed the most fundamental experience and understanding.

No civil engineer can compare to him; he's a human being who can directly sense the strength of materials.

He's the only one who can analyze and repair things using Magecraft.

After spending some time analyzing the situation, Shirou Emiya turned to Kazuma Satou and said:

"Could you help me gather some things to support me?"

"It's ready."

Kazuma Satou pointed to the pile of supports of different lengths and thicknesses on the ground.

Shirou Emiya examined it and found it unbelievable:

"Most of them are what I wanted. Is this your luck, Kazuma?"

"I work on construction sites every day, brother."

Kazuma Satou picked up a sturdy piece of wood and explained to Shirou Emiya:

"Whether it can be used for support depends mainly on four indicators: the bottom must be solid, the tip must be tight, the angle must be correct, and the connection must be stable."

"While you were analyzing, I searched the surrounding area and found everything usable nearby. If that's not enough, we'll have to go further afield."

"That's enough."

Shirou Emiya checked again, and from his perspective, everything was perfectly met.

He finally understood... why Hachiman Hikigaya always wanted to play with Kazuma.

Any normal person would want teammates like that.

He was now genuinely curious about Aqua, the person Kazuma Satou Aqua always talked about. Who was she that could confine someone of his caliber to a stable?

Shirou Emiya thought about it and realized that perhaps it was someone like Gilgamesh, who was inherently abnormal, who would truly suffer.

These thoughts only occurred in a fleeting moment.

He quickly put these distracting thoughts aside and waited for Kazuma Satou to rest for a while and regain some strength before the two of them began the rescue operation.

There were several near-accidents along the way.

Because it was also the first time that Shirou Emiya was analyzing the complex structure of such buried ruins, they almost got caught several times before anyone else was saved.

Fortunately, Kazuma Satou reacted quickly, and the two worked together seamlessly, ultimately managing to build a narrow passage without any major incident.

To confirm whether any part of the child inside was still trapped.

Shirou Emiya slowly moved his upper body inside, making sure that no part of the child was being pressed, before carefully holding the child and moving him out little by little.

"Um?"

Kazuma Satou stared, stunned, at the somewhat familiar red-haired child being carried out by Shirou Emiya in his arms.

"Brother... isn't this you?"

"?"

Shirou Emiya crawled out of the ruins, sat up, and looked at the lifeless child in his arms.

Two pairs of almost identical amber eyes stared at each other.

The child slowly raised his little hand and stretched it out towards himself ten years later.

He watched this scene unfold.

I don't know why.

I suddenly feel like crying.

Shirou Emiya reached out and gently grasped his past self's hand, tears streaming down his cheeks, but a smile identical to the one the man who had once saved him appeared on his face, and he uttered the same words:

"Thank you... for being alive, thank you, thank you so much."

The child's lifeless eyes gradually brightened, and he looked at him with longing.

Such a happy look on her face.

A thought arose in his heart, filled with longing.

If I grow up.

He will become an adult just like him.

[Shinra Kusakabe: "To think... it's my present self rescuing my past self, that's wonderful!"]

Merlin: "To save yourself is true redemption."

[Kiritsugu Emiya: "That's great"]

[Artoria: "That's nice"]

Araragi Koyomi: "Everything we do is to redeem our past selves."

[Archer: "Idea, Shirou Emiya, you son of a bitch! This time it should have been my turn. I should have just not saved him, let him fend for himself, and made him give up this childish idea."]

[Gintoki Sakata: "Are you even human?"]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Then you are truly the scum of the earth, the ultimate degenerate, Archer."]

[Archer: "Hmph, there's no way I can save a brat."]

Gilgamesh: "So you're ultimately a fake, Faker. A self-proclaimed righteous guy who doesn't even love himself, yet wants to protect the world? It's laughable!"

[Archer: "I am indeed not justice. But King of Heroes who wants to destroy the world and kill seven billion people has no right to judge me."]

Gilgamesh: "So what? Even so, I still love humanity."

[Archer: "Haha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard since I became a Guardian."]

[Hachiman Hikigaya: "Both of you CS, go eat shit!"]

[Mahiro Oyama: "Exactly! One's blocking the bridge, the other's blocking the evacuation point, and you two are still arguing about it."]

[Ryuguuin Seiya: "They must all be killed"]

[Kurisu Makise: "Miss Kato has already sent the screenshots to the group. There are... the remains of children after they were used by Servant, right below the church."]

[Garou: "?"]

[Rintarou: "?"]

[Archer: "Haha, did you notice?"]

Gilgamesh: "It is their greatest honor to be enjoyed by me."

Enkidu: "..."

Daigo: "This... is even worse than monsters and aliens."

Dan Moroboshi: "Only killing is possible."

"Him... me? How do I call him here? Never mind, this child is in very poor condition."

Shirou Emiya looked at the slightly squinting [Little Shirou], whose body already had multiple necrotic areas:

"If no emergency treatment is given... he might die."

"Is there really no other way?"

Kazuma Satou gritted his teeth and turned to frantically search through the ruins.

"What are you up to."

Shirou Emiya didn't think the other person was going crazy for no reason, so he found something to cushion and put [Little Shirou] down.

Kazuma Satou began:

"This is a game, and also Fuyuki City, so there should be Searchable Container here as well."

Shirou Emiya finally realized:

"Are you trying to steal gold?!"

This game... has truly been figured out.

He sighed with emotion while also joining the search.

The two searched through the ruins, hoping to find a bird egg, even if it was just in a trash can.

But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the light-emitting container.

Even though they had taken precautions with their hands, Kazuma Satou and Shirou Emiya still got cuts and scratches from various sharp objects, but the two of them no longer cared about such things.

They had only one thought in their minds: to save lives.

"In this situation, as long as there is a container to explore, my luck will definitely turn around, and I will definitely be able to find medical equipment or related Noble Phantasm."

Kazuma Satou gritted his teeth:

"Is there any other way?"

Shirou Emiya suddenly put his hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, Kazuma, you look just like those guys who get really worked up at gambling in the arcade... Didn't you say you weren't going to gamble?"

"I don't gamble, except when it comes to saving lives."

"Since there's no other way, let's save one more."

Shirou Emiya looked at the other person and said calmly:

"Save everyone here before this child loses his life."

Kazuma Satou looked up.

Is it possible?

No, it's not about whether it can be done.

It is something that must be done.

Whether it's ten survivors, a hundred survivors, or a thousand survivors.

There is a chance as long as you try to save them.

I dare not try it.

That would mean direct failure.

"Go! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The two resumed their rescue operation, located a survivor, and proceeded with the same steps as before.

They quickly rescued the other party.

She was a girl with long black hair, a slender and beautiful face, and a very capable appearance.

"Store manager?"

Emiya Shirou looked up and explained to the somewhat puzzled Sato Kazuma:

"She is Yuzuka Otonko, the daughter of the store manager of the shop where I work part-time. She is a very good friend of Sister Fuji, and it is because of this relationship that I work part-time here."

"No."

Kazuma Satou lowered his head and said:

"Look at her body."

Shirou Emiya glanced at it and said seriously:

"Although Sister Yin has a great figure, don't get any funny ideas. Besides, you probably won't be able to handle her personality."

Kazuma Satou looked up at him speechlessly, with an expression that seemed to say, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"No, why are you still paying attention to this? Take a closer look."

Shirou Emiya looked down and took a closer look, discovering that the other person's black clothes concealed the faint purple light around them.

"It's all... her body is glowing, is that a sign of an explorable container?!"

"Um."
