Chapter 15

Being summoned to another world in the form of a Servant is probably a rather wonderful experience for anyone, and Emiya Shiro is no exception.

Strictly speaking, as a Servant, there is no real physical body. Although a Servant who has obtained a physical body looks no different from a human being, and will be injured and bleed like ordinary humans, and will naturally feel tired. However, as long as there is no error in the magic source supplied to the entity, the entity of the Servant can always maintain a state of high energy.

It is precisely because of this reason that even if the physical ability of the body has not been strengthened by becoming a Servant, Emiya Shirou can feel that there is a huge gap between himself and the him when he was still a normal human being, whether it is endurance or memory.

Sitting by the bed, he can clearly recall every minute and every second of his experience since he came to this world.

"One thousand seven hundred and eighty days... There are forty-five days left, and it will be Elysia's fifth birthday." While muttering a slight admiration in his mouth, Emiya Shirou quietly stretched. He stretched out his hand, and carefully played with the hair on the side of Elysia's face with his fingertips, "Time flies so fast... Obviously, when I first met her, she was just such a small baby, as a result, if I don't pay attention, she will almost catch up with me."

The voice of emotion stopped abruptly, and Emiya Shirou's movements also stopped.

He slowly withdrew his fingers from arranging the broken pink hair, gently placed the storybook on the bedside table, and said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, since the remaining simulation time is about six years, It means that the simulation time has been unknowingly extended by the two of us... Is that right?"

[Correct]

"..."

Emiya Shirou sighed silently, but no sound came out of his mouth.

From the bottom of my heart, after actually experiencing the simulated life of being a mother, Shirou Emiya does not actually recognize himself as a qualified "mother".

—Emiya Shirou's dream is to become a hero of justice.

After vowing to inherit his father's ideas, he is only twelve years old, but he still doesn't know the specific method to use to realize this dream.

He doesn't know what Emiya Kiritsugu has experienced in the past, and he doesn't know what specific things Emiya Kiritsugu has done, so Emiya Shirou takes it for granted—He doesn't know what it means to be the so-called Hero of Justice, or what kind of person he should become, and what kind of things he should do.

Because he doesn't understand this important part, he who is still completely immature, wants to help others as much as possible within the scope of his own ability.

Therefore, even though I have all kinds of dissatisfaction with the "Old Mother Simulator" which is full of a suspicious atmosphere, I really can't continue to trust it wholeheartedly after being pitted several times, but after knowing that the "Old Mother Simulator" can use oneself to help others, Emiya Shiro did not hesitate to join the "Old Mother Simulator". Among the [simulation games] I have built, I have never regretted my choice in the past few years of my life in the simulation game.

Five years, whether it is long or short, during the nearly five years of playing the simulation game, I watched little Elysia grow up vigorously, and her current height is almost catching up with myself Emiya Shirou himself, who was going to work hard in the direction of [a partner of justice], fell into confusion after a bit of trouble.

Elysia is a very bright and lovable child.

All he could give Elysia was care in life and basic education.

As a parent, the more important responsibility is how to make your child an independent individual and a real [person].

It is also because in the process of raising Elysia that he clearly realized what he should do from the perspective of an "elder", Emiya Shirou turned his head and carefully examined his life.

After all, apart from "himself", Shirou Emiya doesn't understand the lives of other people at all, and he doesn't know what ordinary parents do to their children in order to give their children a normal human personality.

However, after looking back and examining "himself" carefully, Emiya Shiro suddenly had a revolution, how would he teach someone to be a normal person, even though he didn't know what to do or how to do it?

"...Dad's dream, it's up to me..."

After hearing his calm oath and saying "I'm at ease", the man named Emiya Kiritsugu passed away.

So, from that moment on, even if he didn't know what to do, even if he didn't know what Emiya Kiritsugu did in the past, Shirou Emiya still had to become a "hero of justice".

If... it wasn't for witnessing how Elysia grew up, even if Emiya Shirou exhausted his life, he wouldn't be able to realize this on his own.

—No, it's not impossible to comprehend.

Rather, as long as he is still on the path of becoming a "hero of justice", Emiya Shirou will never be able to comprehend this matter.

As a machine and a counterfeit, of course, he can't help Elysia become a real [human].

That's right...

Before taking Elysia outside, he originally thought so.

However, Emiya Shirou was startled when Elysia started to come into contact with this world.

Even without his help, this child can still become a different person very smoothly.

Nothing like his botched forgery.

If we say that after Emiya Kiritsugu passed away, Emiya Shirou became a machine that executed the established program called "Hero of Justice" and mechanically imitated [Emiya Kiritsugu] in poor quality, unlike, Elysia, who loves everything in the world, is very interested in everything, and is completely open to everyone she meets, is undoubtedly a [Human] named [Elysia].

It's not like him, although he has the name [Emiya Shirou], he has become a [machine] that blindly imitates [Emiya Kiritsugu].

...If it was Elysia, even if the higher false "mother" was not around, the frank and lively her should be the same as now, with the gorgeous and flawless brilliance and kindness, without any difference to anyone.

Yes...she's clearly just a five-year-old child, and she looks as lively and cute as other children, but Elysia is simply closer to [hero of justice] than himself...this machine is fake

I don't know if my sudden appearance by her side is... a good thing for this child.

"If, one day in the near future, I, who is going to leave her side after all, was not there from the beginning..." A faint voice escaped from Emiya Shirou's mouth involuntarily.

"Could it be a better situation for this child..."
