Chapter 668
"They're being taken away; they'll never be allowed to appear before you again."
"Hey, this isn't what we agreed on!"
The people of Mijin's family looked at each other and began to discuss.
About five minutes later, the man who looked to be of high status waved to Shirou.
"Then take them with you, but... never come back!"
"Even if you don't say it, that's what I think too."
Shirou muttered to himself as he walked toward the Kohaku and Hisui in the corner.
As soon as he approached, Kohaku immediately hugged her sister.
The boy slowly squatted down, aligning his gaze with the twins', and spoke in a calm tone.
"It's alright, I'm not your enemy."
Are you going to... get rid of us?
Kohaku asked, trembling.
She must have heard this from an adult; a six- or seven-year-old child could certainly understand its meaning.
Shirou smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
"Real?"
"Yes, really."
Shirou subtly hinted at something in his words, which eased the fear in the young girls' hearts.
Can we talk?
They both nodded at the same time.
What are your names?
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Kohaku."
"Hisui."
"Mijin?"
They both nodded at the same time.
"Oh, I see. Kohaku and Hisui."
"What a good name," the boy murmured to himself.
He glanced at Fujino, who stood behind him looking tense, and gave a wry smile.
"My name is Shirou, although you might be confused by this sudden announcement... Would you like to come with the older brothers and sisters?"
"... Um."
The girl, Kohaku, nodded even faster than expected.
"I'm willing to go anywhere as long as I can get out of here."
Her answer did not elicit a pleasant reaction from the Mijin family.
From a young age, Kohaku was taught by her mother to protect her younger sister, which made her more mature and clever than her peers.
She realized that if she and her sister continued to stay in the village, they would one day meet with misfortune.
Although there was no conclusive evidence, she believed that Shirou was someone who would treat her kindly.
"That's great, but with Kohaku and Hisui in their current state... it'll probably be a long and tiring drive back."
As he said this, Shirou touched Hisui's arm with his fingers.
Suddenly, something warm and comforting flowed into the boy's fingertips.
In the blink of an eye, the pain in my arm, which was covered in scars, disappeared, and the bruises also vanished.
Shirou touched her face and feet, healing the marks of the unprovoked violence, and then used the same healing Magecraft on Kohaku.
That's fine.
Kohaku and Hisui looked at their arms and legs in surprise.
In just a moment, those long-standing scars disappeared.
Faced with this miraculous phenomenon that seemed to appear in a picture book, the twin girls looked at each other in surprise, Shirou stood up, supporting himself on his thighs.
Kohaku and Hisui, with a light, dreamlike quality, looked up at the boy again.
"... True Magic?"
"Whew, correct answer."
Shirou, hands on his hips, smugly uttered a line he'd wanted to say for a long time.
"Brother, I'm True Magic User."
Volume 9: Chapter 414 The Night of Three, abbreviated as 3...
We won!
Asagami Fujino, having draped a yukata over her naked body, walked to the window and gazed at the battle in the bamboo forest.
Thanks to her "Clairvoyance," she can see the entire battle without going to the scene.
There are many types of "Clairvoyance," but Fujino's eyes are the most traditional, literally meaning "the ability to see far away."
However, unlike ordinary farsightedness, Fujino can look down at the scenery below from high above like a god, and it is unknown whether this is related to her "Asagami" bloodline.
Mystic Eyes is the fastest Single Action technique, but Mystic Eyes has a fatal flaw: it can only be used within the field of vision. Fujino, however, does not have this problem.
The combination of "Clairvoyance" and "Twisted Mage's Eye" allows Fujino's attack range to extend beyond the enemy in front of her, even reaching more macroscopic targets such as streets.
Fujino originally thought that her "Clairvoyance" was already very powerful.
However, according to Miss Touko, Shirou's teacher can even see the entire surface of the earth and know what is happening on the planet every moment.
To think he's the disciple of such an amazing Magecraft! Shirou is truly incredible; he's from a completely different world than me.
Any suspicious individuals who approached the mansion were instantly sent flying by his attack.
The thought of Shirou coming back to hug her and continue the "ritual" they hadn't finished made Fujino's lower abdomen itch and feel hot.
"Could you please come back soon, Shirou?"
Asagami Fujino stroked the spot where the boy had gently bitten her a few minutes earlier, and caressed her tightly closed legs.
Just then--
"Huh..."
A new figure came into Fujino's field Clairvoyance vision.
Why... were you there?
"Seeing is believing".
Shirou had dismissed this idea for a time, but now he wholeheartedly agrees.
Indeed, there are many things that cannot be grasped by feeling alone; one must see them with one's own eyes to truly understand them.
For example, the "Style: Nine Lives" skill.
Shirou previously learned the Martial Arts of the Great Greek Hero by reading the echoes on the Mythical Artifact Marmiadoise, tracing the history of the weapon and its combat experience.
However, since what Shirou Projection is not a real Noble Phantasm, its mystery and level will be reduced.
Therefore, even though Shirou mastered the original owner's technique, he could only be considered a beginner and could not bring the Martial Arts to the level of the original.
In Tohsaka's words, he's a half-baked amateur.
Taking "Nine Lives" as an example, Shirou's ability to Nine Lives is limited to situations involving greatsword and archery.
The latter was a result of the strong impression and legend of Heracles as an archer, coupled with Shirou's own expertise in archery.
However, not long ago...
In another world's Holy Grail War, Shirou witnessed firsthand the Great Hero Alcides using "Nine Lives".
After watching it once, he was able to perfectly integrate "Nine Lives" into various combat styles, just like Heracles.
Aside from limiting the combo count to eight due to the size difference between himself and Heracles, the technique is virtually identical to the original.
Shirou marveled at the power of "seeing is believing," yet even he himself didn't realize—
To be able to master the Martial Arts of the Divine Realm after only witnessing the original author use it once is itself an exceptionally genius.
Following "Projection of a Copying Noble Phantasm" and "Mystic Eyes of a Copying Mystic Eyes" --
Now, Shirou can also replicate the martial arts techniques he has seen.
If Morgan were still alive, she would definitely feel a strong sense of crisis and say, "I will never use Magecraft in front of you again in my life! What will happen to my position as a witch if Shirou copies me!"
However, it was a long time before Shirou himself became aware of this new ability of his.
Instead of Projection weapons, Shirou used his fists and feet to unleash "Nine Lives," sending the approaching Kishima Kouma flying more than ten meters away.
Kishima Kouma lost consciousness for only a moment, and when she came to her senses, the starry sky unfolded before her eyes.
"What...?"
Kishima Kouma, who had fallen backward, got up as if waking from a nightmare, only to find that she couldn't move at all.
This is...
His arms and legs were all broken.
The "Red Crimson Vermilion" hands and feet, stronger than any metal in the world, broke easily.
Not only his hands and Kishima Kouma, but also his abdomen was ripped open, damaging his spine.
In addition, one of the lungs was also damaged.
An ordinary person would have died on the spot from such injuries, but Kishima Kouma is still alive.
The main reason why I was able to survive--
Shirou avoided the vital organs of the heart and brain.
In that critical moment, Shirou unleashed an eight-hit combo with precision down to the centimeter, completely disrupting Kishima Kouma's mobility while saving his life.
That was an amazing skill.
Kishima Kouma knew many madmen who had dedicated their lives to martial arts training, but none of them could compare to the seemingly casual strike from the red-haired youth just now.
Ultimately, apart from losing an eye when he was young due to being blinded in one eye by the head of the Nanaya Sect, he had never been injured in his entire life.
In this mysterious and elusive era, nothing could harm his indestructible body.
Kishima Kouma quickly understood--
What defeated him head-on was an ancient technique, just like himself, that did not belong to this era.
"What was that move...?"
Kishima Kouma looked at Shirou was walking towards her and asked him a question.
"This is a technique used by a hero in the ancient Mythological Era to slay an immortal serpent."
Upon hearing this, Kishima Kouma showed a relieved expression.
"Phew... To be defeated by such an exaggerated move, what an honor."
"Thanks to you, my hand is ruined too."
Shirou took his hand out of his pocket and showed it.
Because of the direct physical confrontation with Kishima Kouma, his hands were covered in blood and damaged to the point that even the bones were exposed. His Magic Circuits were operating at full power to perform a healing spell.
"Your body..."
