He didn't waver at all from beginning to end.
"Why! Can't you see that you have become the enemy of all Orario adventurers? You are a human without even a gift, and you don't even have a god to rely on!"
The innocent-looking girl asked Emiya Shirou excitedly.
This was not only her question, but also the question of everyone present at the moment.
Isn’t this situation clear enough?
He needs to be punished no matter what. Even if he survives here, the guild will deal with Shirou Emiya.
A god, and a human who doesn't even have a gift. Even if he has that kind of talent, Shirou Emiya is just a human.
Everyone knows how to choose.
But Emiya Shirou seemed to not understand any of this at all.
"Bullying the weak, no matter how you whitewash it, no matter if hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people deny it, wrong things are still wrong, no matter how you distort it, it is still a sin!"
“Even if everyone turns a blind eye to this evil, even if this sin has become a part of the world!”
"As long as I am alive, I will stand up and do my best to do what I can! Become a [Partner of Justice]!"
This was the answer given by Emiya Shirou.
In this age of the survival of the fittest, almost everyone accepts this fact.
The weak deserve to be bullied. Being able to take care of yourself is already a great thing, not to mention helping others.
Even those who were bullied at LV1, after reaching LV2, become the person they once hated the most.
"[Companions of Justice]?"
The person who had been hiding in the corner and following behind Emiya Shirou muttered softly.
Magical power gathered in her body, and she was ready to provide assistance to Shirou Emiya when the battle came.
"How can there be such a childish person!"
The red-haired girl standing in the corridor and watching what was happening below couldn't help but mutter to herself. In such a twisted world, wanting to become a "partner of justice" was such a ridiculous thing.
You have to know that the last person who represented justice, to be more precise, was the God of Justice, but his entire clan died in the dungeon, and even the gods left Orario.
This is the result of upholding justice in this city.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!”
As if he had heard something funny, Apollo held his forehead and laughed up to the sky.
"I really like you more and more!"
His eyes were filled with greed. How long had it been since he had seen such an outstanding young man?
"Partners of justice, how old are children who would say this?"
"Let me, a god, tell you that only strength can bring you justice!"
The next second, the eyes of the people behind Apollo all became sharp.
A huge fighting spirit was gathered at this moment.
Countless adventurers emerged from the surrounding jungle.
The door of the Soma clan behind Emiya Shirou was pushed open heavily, and a large number of adventurers came out one after another.
These people were all the family members that Shirou Emiya had beaten in the past in order to help those who were being bullied.
All of them were rubbing their hands in anticipation, staring intently at Shirou Emiya who was standing in the middle of the courtyard.
The ones who surrounded Emiya Shirou were not like the previous adventurers who were only after the divine wine.
Among this group of people, almost half have reached the LV2 level, and there are even dozens of people with higher levels.
Compared to the previous adventurers, the pressure was incomparably greater.
You have to know that if there is a LV2 in the team, with proper coordination, it is possible to break directly from the first floor to the eighteenth security layer.
The relationship between them is not just a simple one plus one equals two.
For adventurers who venture into dungeons, the most important thing is naturally teamwork rather than personal strength.
Even if one is the highest level being in the entire Orario, if he is alone, he will be easily defeated in the dungeon.
“Charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
At this moment, the shouts resounded throughout the entire Soma clan.
Chapter 445: Everything You Need to Bear
"Why don't you stop the actions of those followers? Even if we have irrefutable evidence, it should be the guild that handles this matter!"
"How can you fight in the city so recklessly?!"
In the guild, Aina stood in front of the desk, supporting her hands on the surface, and spoke with great excitement.
"Do we have the ability to stop it? Moreover, do you know how many clansmen are involved in this battle?"
Sitting behind the desk, an old man with white hair and pointed ears like Aegina was looking at the documents in front of him nonchalantly, as if he was not worried at all about the emergency situation happening in Orario.
There is no thought of stopping it.
"Does that mean they can do whatever they want in Orario?"
Aegina continued to argue.
However, the old elf just slowly put down the magnifying glass in his hand.
Under Aegina's anxious gaze, he sorted out the documents in his hand and put them aside.
Then he looked up at Aegina and spoke slowly and calmly.
"Aina, if the person being attacked was not the familiar Emiya Shirou, but a stranger, you probably wouldn't care about this matter at all—"
"Isn't this a fact that is deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone in Orario?"
"!"
Aegina's expression changed drastically at this moment.
What if I had never had any contact with Shirou Emiya!
What if I don’t know Shirou Emiya at all!
What if the person being attacked is just a stranger you have never met before!
She didn't care about this kind of thing at all. Even if someone asked her about it, she would just give a formulaic answer that the guild would make a fair judgment.
In this city, who has the extra kindness to care about a stranger who has nothing to do with them?
Didn’t I see those adventurers being bullied in the past?
Don't you realize that it is wrong and a sinful thing?
But she chose to ignore them. Even though those people looked at her with pleading eyes, she made the same choice that most people would make in this situation.
leave--
Standing up for what is right and becoming someone's hero, this kind of thing only exists in novels.
Because she knew in her heart what the fate of those who really did this would be.
Aina stretched out her hand, grasped the collar at her chest, and pulled it tightly together.
She suddenly realized what Emiya Shirou wanted to face, what he needed to face.
But, is this really something that can be changed by one person's power?
"Hahaha--!"
Deep breaths came out of Aina's mouth and sweat kept oozing out from her forehead.
Several wet marks appeared on the floor.
Those are traces of sweat dripping down.
Just imagine it from Shirou Emiya's perspective, the terrifying pressure was like a mountain, and there was no chance to breathe at all.
It is impossible to change the minds of adventurers who bully others.
If I were to encounter those people being bullied again, I would probably make the same choice.
However, it does not mean that there is no way to save those bullied adventurers.
That is to bear the malice from adventurers and gods.
This is what Shirou Emiya did.
The last person to do this in Orario was Astraea, the goddess of justice.
In addition to exploring the maze, her family is also responsible for cracking down on those who disrupt the peace of the city.
However, the final outcome was that almost all members of the clan were destroyed in the dungeon.
Only Astraea was left alone in the labyrinth city of Orario.
Even gods cannot change this situation, let alone a human who does not even have the gift of grace.
"Do you understand? If you do, then go back to your job. We have no way of interfering in this matter!"
"No clan will lend him a helping hand. Since this is the path he has chosen, he should understand what he is facing!"
The old man's voice suddenly rose and scolded Aegina, trying to drive her away.
"knew--!!"
Aegina's composure gradually recovered. She bowed deeply to the white-haired old man in front of her and immediately retreated.
At this time, the entire guild was in chaos, and countless injured people were brought into the guild.
Because the hospital can no longer accommodate such a number of adventurers.
Shirou Emiya made his way to the Soma clan, where hundreds of people had already been knocked down by him.
Although they are all minor injuries.
But precisely because their injuries were not serious and they could recover after a few days of rest, unless they were some wealthy adventurers, they would basically not choose to take the healing potion that might save their lives during dungeon exploration.
But the severe pain also made it impossible for them to act normally.
"Really! That kid really dared to do it!"
In the office, after Aina left, he picked up the documents in his hand with admiration.
"There are so many things to do next!"
Aina pushed open the door, and the whole of Orario was discussing this matter.
Whether it is a street vendor or an adventurer who just returned from the dungeon.
Even those who were already drunk and chatting in the pub were discussing what had happened today.
The actions of those clansmen were so big that even non-adventurers knew what was happening over there.
If you were to ask why, the adventurers who attacked Emiya Shirou didn't care about the vendors' stalls.
As Shirou Emiya passed by, he saw many stalls that had suffered varying degrees of damage.
Although the guild said that they would compensate for these losses, it was impossible for them not to feel resentful after watching their own property destroyed before their eyes.
Aina stood at the door and shook her head in self-mockery.
Even if it was the guild that adjudicated those clans, how could it possibly adjudicate the actions of more than a dozen clans united together?
With so many gods involved, it is impossible for the guild to punish them too harshly.
Those people are already in a situation where "the law cannot hold everyone responsible", not to mention that there are gods involved who are difficult to judge.
And their target is just a human being who doesn't even have any gifts.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that those followers dared to take such a big action and attack Shirou Emiya so openly.
Because there is no one standing behind Shirou Emiya, no god will give Shirou Emiya protection.
He can only face it all alone.
