As soon as Sajo Aika finished her words, one picture after another flashed before Shirou Emiya’s eyes.

He saw the flames.

Everything in the picture was covered by the strong red light.

He saw the ruins.

There is no intact building as far as the naked eye can see.

He saw death.

The whole city exuded a dead atmosphere. Countless corpses lay on the ground, their pupils wide open in extreme pain.

He saw the destruction of everything.

There was no life left in the city of Fuyuki.

In an instant, Emiya Shirou covered his forehead as if he had a headache and stepped back step by step. He couldn’t believe that Fuyuki would become like this.

After all, now basically all the servants participating in the Holy Grail War have been confirmed, and no one of them has the power to directly destroy the entire Fuyuki City.

“Is this an illusion?”

“This is not an illusion, but the future—”

Looking at Sajo Aika’s confident expression, Emiya Shirou wanted to deny her words and scold her that such a scene was just an illusion.

but—-

“I see.”

Aika Sajo has shown Emiya Shirou her ability to protect the entire population of Fuyuki City. Even if the future will not be as she described, the battles between these servants will inevitably hurt innocent people.

If it was Aika Sajo who took action, she would be able to protect those innocent people in this Holy Grail War, in a place where she couldn’t see.

“Then, the date will be set for next weekend.”

“!?”

“Wait! Why is it next week!”

Seeing Sajo Aika turning around and leaving immediately, Emiya Shirou became a little excited and quickly stretched out his hand and called out to her.

“Because I’m going out with my sister this weekend! So you should spend the next week with Ayaka. I’m still worried that she will end up alone.”

As if she understood something, the smile on Sajo Aika’s face became even wider. She then waved her hand and returned to the living room.

At this time, Toosaka Rin, Fujimura Taiga and others have also returned.

Fujimura Taiga seemed very excited to see so many people coming to Emiya’s house. What she liked most was the hustle and bustle, even though all the people who came were girls.

As for Toosaka Rin, when she saw Rider, her whole expression became bad, and she directly pulled Matou Sakura aside and scolded her. This is why Matou Sakura did not secretly follow when Emiya Shirou was chatting privately with Sajo Aika.

When she saw Shirou Emiya appear, Toosaka Rin rushed up to him and scolded him as well.

It was said that Shirou Emiya did not think highly of his sister at all, and it turned out to be a wrong choice to hand Sakura over to him.

It was quite a commotion anyway.

“By the way, Toosaka, why didn’t you summon your servants in advance?”

Shirou Emiya expressed his doubts. Logically speaking, summoning servants in advance could allow for early running-in, and strategies for many things could also be discussed ahead of time.

Then Toosaka Rin stared at Shirou Emiyomiya with dead fish eyes in anger.

“I could have summoned a servant in advance, guess why I can’t now.”

Emiya Shirou fell into deep thought.

Matou Sakura, who was sitting next to him, reminded him quietly: “Senior, summoning servants in advance does not have the magic power provided by the Holy Grail.”

Uh.

After all, he is not the one who provides mana for Altria now, so Shirou Emiya completely forgot that before the Holy Grail War officially starts, all servants summoned in advance need the master to provide magic power himself.

Matou Sakura has no shortage of magic power.

Illya was able to offer it grudgingly.

Altria’s magic power is provided by BB and the others.

Caster might have his own way to provide himself with magic power. You know, Mr. Kuzuki is not a magician.

Assassin and Caster are obviously from the same camp.

As for Toosaka, she turned out to be a top wealthy person, with so many gems that she could afford to summon servants in advance.

But now, all the gems have exploded, the magic workshop has been completely destroyed, and even his own residence has been razed to the ground. Although Toosaka Rin is an excellent magician, it is obvious that she cannot provide magic power to the servants for a long time.

She has research projects to do every day, various gems to make, and now she has to rebuild the magic workshop. She simply does not have much extra magic power to support a servant without the support of the Holy Grail.

“You can’t even figure this out! Don’t tell anyone that I taught you this next time you go out!”

Toosaka Rin spoke in a disappointed tone, saying that Shirou Emiya was truly the dumbest student she had ever taught.

What? You said that Toosaka Rin’s current students are only Emiya Shirou and Matou Sakura. Does that mean Emiya Shirou is the dumbest student Toosaka Rin has ever taught?

Chapter 1177 The Man Standing at the Gate

The weekend finally arrived this week. The days at school were really torturous.

Suddenly, he went from being someone everyone kept their distance from to being someone everyone admired.

As soon as I entered the campus, a bunch of people I had never seen before kept greeting me, and some girls even leaned towards me deliberately.

Sakura Matou standing by gave Shirou Emiya a murderous look, making him feel as if a kitchen knife was hanging around his neck.

However, it’s not just girls who deliberately lean on me, there are boys as well.

Originally, after class every day, Liudong Issei was the only one who would talk to him. Most of the time, he would even sit alone in the back row by the window, looking at the people on the playground bored.

Now, as soon as the get out of class is over, a bunch of people come over to ask questions, and many people block the door, just to see what such a legend looks like.

Shirou Emiya felt very uncomfortable. He had never been treated so warmly before. He was not a talkative person, and facing so many people, Shirou Emiya felt very tired and exhausted.

As for physical fatigue, Shirou Emiya said that he didn’t know why, but recently he always had a dream at night that he couldn’t remember at all. When he woke up in the morning, his waist felt a little sore, as if he didn’t sleep well at all.

Rider: “Why haven’t you revealed your flaws yet?”

The physical and mental fatigue tortured Shirou Emiya madly.

Of course, what is even more torturous is what to do next week.

He felt that it was the execution platform, and as time passed, he was moving towards it step by step.

“So why did you follow us, Kallen?”

“Can’t I just come with you? It turns out you’re just playing with me, Mr. Scumbag.”

“No, there aren’t that many hidden meanings in my words.”

Hearing Kallen calling him a scumbag again, Shirou Emiya’s forehead was filled with black lines.

“It’s just that Kallen, you have no reason to go with us to test Caster and the others.”

Although Kallen is supposed to be the referee of this Holy Grail War, it is obvious that Kallen does not have the ability to be the referee of the Holy Grail War.

The Holy Church and the Magic Association did not expect Kallen to be able to preside over the Holy Grail War.

“Sure enough, Mr. Scumbag is worthy of being Mr. Scumbag.”

Kallen looked at Shirou Emiya and spoke very coldly.

“Do you really want to treat me like a plaything and seal me inside the Holy Church forever?”

Having said this, Jeanne and Altria immediately turned around and looked at Emiya Shirou with scrutiny.

Others walked away with horrified looks on their faces, and some passers-by were even ready to call the police, saying that Shirou Emiya was imprisoning the girl.

“I think I understand what you mean, but could you please not express it in such a distorted way?”

Shirou Emiya gave a bitter smile. He understood. In fact, Kallen was just bored staying in the Cathedral Church and planned to go out for a walk. They happened to be looking for Illya, so they came together.

“Play? Toys? What are you going to play?” Although Illya, who was standing next to Kallen, didn’t understand what they were talking about, she spoke out excitedly. After all, she could meet other participants of the Holy Grail War and maybe even beat them up.

Thinking of how Berserker could hammer them into pulp, Illya’s smile turned cruel.

“Uh, Illya, we’re here to negotiate, not to kill.”

Seeing Illya’s somewhat cruel expression, Shirou Emiya couldn’t help but warn him, telling him not to let Hercules rush up and go berserk before he could even finish his words.

“Hey! You can’t just kill people like that. That’s really boring. I’d rather see rivers of blood.”

Black lines appeared on Shirou Emiya’s forehead again. It turned out that Illya had been away from normal life for too long.

We should find a way to let Illya move in when the time comes. Illya, Sera, and Lijelite are all becoming mentally unstable living in such a big castle.

“Anyway, let’s go up first.”

At the foot of Mount Enzo, Shirou Emiya and his group walked up the mountain as if they were completely unprepared.

Although I can’t say that I was completely unprepared, I was certainly not that nervous.

On the one hand, it is daytime, and their coming here at this time is a manifestation of goodwill. If they come at night, there will inevitably be a fight.

On the other hand, now is not the time when the Holy Grail War begins. If a battle is to be fought, the consumption of magic power will be extremely intense. Unless there is a lot of magic power, no one would be willing to start a war at this time, or in broad daylight.

Thus, Emiya Shirou and the others arrived at Ryudo Temple easily.

And in front of the mountain gate, there was a person.

A man with a very straight figure, a long dark blue ponytail, a lavender headband, and hair hanging down to the collarbone, a handsome face, a dark purple sleeveless vest, a purple kimono underneath, purple wrist guards on his wrists, and straw sandals on his feet appeared in front of them.

He held a branch in the corner of his mouth, stood with his hands on his shoulders, holding a five-foot-long samurai sword with a purple scabbard. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and he looked at Shirou Emiya and his group below with an elegant smile.

Jeanne, Altria, and Illya were all stunned, because the man standing at the gate of the mountain was a Servant.

“As expected, it’s Sasaki Kojiro.”

Looking at the man in front of him, Emiya Shirou stared at him and said his real name without hesitation.

“Oh?”

Hearing what Emiya Shirou said, Sasaki Kojiro’s expression became obviously surprised.

“You know me? But I’m not some Sasaki Kojiro, just an ordinary farmer who doesn’t know much.”

“It just so happens that he has the same skills as the legendary Kojiro, so he took over the name.”

Sasaki Kojiro spoke very modestly. Since the other party already knew his real name, there was no need for him to hide it.

What’s more, he had no intention of hiding his true identity. If there was a fight, he would immediately give his real name.

“So, everyone, are you willing to fight?”

As he said these words, Sasaki Koji’s aura suddenly shook, his hand tightly grasped the extremely long samurai sword, and he stared at Emiya Shirou with a fighting spirit.

He could feel that Shirou Emiya, who looked the most ordinary among them, was also a swordsman.

Kojiro Sasaki can’t wait to fight with Shirou Emiya.

At this time, Artoria and Jeanne also took up fighting postures. It was impossible for Shirou Emiya to fight with them around.

However—-

“Assassin, let them in.” A very cold female voice came from behind the mountain gate. Sasaki Kojiro, who had originally planned to confront Emiya Shirou and others head-on, suddenly retracted his momentum.

It was as if he had never had the murderous intent. He gave way with a smile on his face.

He is truly able to control his power freely; this is the realm of a sword saint.

Chapter 1178 I Just Want to Be by Soichiro-sama’s Side

“Zheng——!”

As a flashing sound rang out around Liudong Temple, one light curtain after another continued to retreat.

That should be the barrier that Caster set up in Ryuudou Temple. If Toosaka Rin had come with her, she might have been able to discover it, but Emiya Shirou and the others were completely unaware of the existence of the barrier in Ryuudou Temple.

Although Illya is knowledgeable and may even know more magic than Toosaka Rin, that is all knowledge that was instilled into her at birth, and she is not as flexible in using it as Toosaka Rin.

“Please—”

Kojiro Sasaki put away his aura, and like a doorman, he opened the door and stood aside, with no intention of leading the way.
