He was able to redirect all those people's malice toward himself, and at least during the time he was there, those adventurers would not be bullied like that.
"Now, there's one more thing!"
Shirou Emiya raised his head and looked at Soma who was standing by the window.
He seemed to be completely out of the picture, and stayed in his room, concentrating on brewing wine until Shirou Emiya finished his battle.
Soma naturally met Emiya Shirou's gaze, but he did not retreat at all.
The man with gray hair and glasses had cold sweat on his forehead. He had given up trying to escape.
You can escape the monk but you cannot escape the temple. He is always a member of the Soma clan and has to rely on the Soma clan to achieve his ambitions.
“If you don’t plan to manage it, why set it up?”
Shirou Emiya did not treat Soma like a member of Apollo.
He could clearly tell the difference between the two clans.
The Apollo family itself acts this way because of Apollo.
Even most of Apollo's followers were directly robbed by him.
Even if he has to use all kinds of dishonorable means, he will pull the people he loves into his own family.
It can be said that the arrogance of God is perfectly embodied in him.
As for Soma's family, Aegina also told herself that it was because Soma did not manage his own family at all. No matter what happened, he simply made the divine wine.
"If you want to know the answer, then drink this glass of wine—"
Soma did not respond to Shirou Emiya. Just as the rumors said, Soma only had the divine wine in his heart and didn't care about anything else.
Even though his own clan became known to everyone as an extremely hated clan, he was not moved at all.
Even though he knew that the captain named Sunnis had done many unknown bad things behind the scenes, he didn't care at all.
"why?"
Shirou Emiya did not take the sacred wine that Soma handed over.
It wasn't because Emiya Shirou was afraid that his will would be shaken by the divine wine.
But he didn't understand why Soma treated his own family like this.
Shirou Emiya saw that hidden under the messy hair, Soma's eyes were extremely calm.
He had no enthusiasm at all for the God in his hands.
This is not at all the attitude of a god obsessed with making divine wine.
There was only calmness in his eyes.
The voice came out faintly again.
"Drink this glass of wine. After drinking it, you will get all the answers!"
Chapter 451: Divine Wine
"I don't need to know the answers!"
Looking at Soma who handed over the sacred wine, Shirou Emiya shook his head.
No matter what the reason is, what does it matter if Shirou Emiya knows it? Can knowing the reason change the current situation of the Soma clan?
After hearing Shirou Emiya's answer, Soma's eyes showed an extremely disappointed look, and he slowly withdrew the hand that was holding the wine glass.
"Snapped--!"
Shirou Emiya firmly grasped the hand that had taken back the wine glass Soma.
Under the gaze of the three people, Emiya Shirou looked at Soma without any retreat.
"After I drink this cup of wine, can you manage your family well?"
"Can!"
The faint words showed Su Mo's attitude.
Hearing Soma's answer, Emiya Shirou stretched out his other hand and picked up the wine glass.
"Don't drink!"
The girl next to Emiya Shirou saw him raise his glass and tried to stop him with an extremely excited look.
As a member of the Soma clan, she knew exactly what would happen after drinking this cup of divine wine.
She had also drunk the magic wine made by Soma.
That feeling made her miss it immensely but also filled her with deep fear.
If he had not been constantly bullied by other adventurers in the Soma clan and forced to go out to earn Valis to provide for them, he would probably have been like those people kneeling at the door of the Soma clan, and his will would have been eroded by this divine wine.
Even now, she felt a desire in her heart when she saw it.
But she pinched her arm tightly, using the pain to keep her will clear, and grabbed the corner of Shirou Emiya's clothes desperately, trying to stop him from drinking the divine wine.
"Why? This is not your clan. The deal you proposed has no meaning to you at all! Even if you don't drink this cup of divine wine, it will not have any effect on you!"
The girl didn't understand why Shirou Emiya would do such a thing. Why would a Familiar whom she didn't even know do such a thing for a Familiar that had even attacked her before?
Why do some people always think of others first instead of themselves?
Even if he had to fight against those clans, it was all because he wanted to save those bullied LV1 adventurers.
Even when the person he saved bit him back, he still insisted on his choice.
The girl didn't understand.
The long-term bullying by those adventurers made the girl hate adventurers very much.
But she could not harbor any ill will towards the adventurer in front of her, who did everything for others.
She wanted to help him and wanted to lend a helping hand to the best of her ability when he was in trouble.
乭Because she understood that such a road was definitely not easy, and the thorns on it might be something she could never imagine in her lifetime.
And she understood even more clearly how terrifying the divine wine was.
When she was with the Soma clan, she had never seen anyone who could resist the temptation of the divine wine.
including yourself.
Emiya Shirou simply turned around to look at the girl whose eyes were full of confusion, and answered slowly.
"How can it be meaningless? This is meaningful to the entire Soma clan! It is also meaningful to the real adventurers in the Soma clan! It is even more meaningful to those who have been bullied by the Soma clan!"
But don't you think about yourself?
The girl thought so in her heart.
From beginning to end, Shirou Emiya did not do anything for his own sake.
"Aren't you afraid that this cup of wine might contain poison, or some drug that could corrode your soul and turn you into a puppet?"
He drank the wine provided by the other party without any precautions. If there were really some drugs in it, Shirou Emiya would not be able to react.
The girl found it incredible that someone could trust others so much, even if the person was a god.
You have to know that Apollo would do anything to bring the person he likes to his family, and drugging is also his usual technique.
Because the gods who bestow gifts on humans are more trustworthy than humans.
Many people also don’t believe that a being who is crowned as the sun god would do such a thing.
"I believe him, that's all!"
To completely trust a stranger, an unfamiliar god, perhaps only Shirou Emiya would do this.
When Shirou Emiya held the wine glass, the girl in the cloak hiding in the dark was about to rush out.
But he was caught by a man with yellow-orange hair and orange eyes, wearing casual clothes and a hat with a feather.
The girl who had been hiding in the dark and following Emiya Shirou's pupils suddenly shrank when she saw the man with the refreshing smile.
"Sh-!"
"Let's keep watching. I also want to know what this young man can do!"
"What if he can't resist?"
"That was his choice, wasn't it?"
After hearing what the man said, the girl in the cloak calmed down and watched what was happening on the field very nervously.
Without any hesitation, after answering the girl, Emiya Shirou put the sacred wine to his lips and drank it all.
"————————"
At this moment, everyone held their breath and looked at Emiya Shirou intently.
At the moment when Shirou Emiya drank the sacred wine, three emotions spread around him.
The chestnut-haired girl's anxiety.
Sonnis's contempt.
And Soma's expectations.
The next second——————
“It tastes great!”
No struggle, no addiction, no resistance, not even a smile.
Emiya Shirou responded to the people present in an extremely calm manner.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Emiya Shirou's answer.
He just drank a glass of ordinary wine, and there was not even much expression on his face.
"Is the magic wine not working on you?"
Soma looked at Emiya Shirou's empty cup and touched his chin in confusion.
"You! You! You didn't feel the happiness that was like going to heaven!"
The girl didn't know how many times she had been shocked today. She looked at Emiya Shirou with great surprise, as if nothing had happened.
"have--"
However, what she got really shocked her again, and it was an answer that Su Mo could not understand at all.
"Then why——"
Before the girl could even ask, Emiya Shirou gave the answer.
"Is it like being embraced by some kind of embrace, with warmth covering my whole body, and an indescribable sense of happiness permeating everything? It feels like my body and mind have been greatly relaxed after I lay down. Everything is like a dream, even better than a dream, and I don't want to come out of it at all?"
The girl was stunned when she heard Emiya Shirou's description.
"Yes, that's right, that's the feeling, do you feel it?"
"Correct!"
Emiya Shirou nodded.
"but--"
"Maybe it's because I don't deserve it!"
Chapter 452: Changes in the Underground City
"Not worthy?"
The girl muttered to herself in confusion.
Just at the moment he felt that happiness, Emiya Shirou came to his senses.
This kind of happiness should not be possessed by oneself.
It was just a slight contact, but while he felt happiness, an unimaginable sense of guilt also lingered over Emiya Shirou.
How can I be happy when I am like this?
