A tingling sensation emerged from the wounds on Shirou Emiya's body.
Toosaka Rin is using her magic to treat Emiya Shirou.
I wasn't worried about Shirou Emiya, nor was I concerned about his injuries.
I was just worried that Shirou Emiya would return home with such injuries and be seen by Sakura, which would make her sad and it would be difficult to explain.
That's right, that's it.
While treating Shirou Emiya, Rin Toosaka asked Shirou Emiya in confusion.
"Indeed not. Why are you asking about missing persons?"
"I saw a dead child in the church—!"
Shirou Emiya looked full of regret. If he had been able to go to the church earlier, perhaps he could have saved the boy before Kotomine killed him.
But no matter how much you say now, it's too late, because the young man has already lost his life, and Shirou Emiya has no way to bring the dead back to life.
"Children! Wait!"
Toosaka Rin's pupils trembled violently and her body paused quickly, although she did not like Kotomine Kirei who raised her.
But when I heard about this, I was surprised, but then I calmed down.
Because for a magician, even a child's life can be easily sacrificed.
After all, almost all orthodox magicians are cold-blooded people, and to them, ordinary people are nothing more than insignificant costs on the road to pursuing the root.
This kind of thing is nothing to be surprised about in the magic world.
But understanding does not mean acceptance. At least even Toosaka Rin herself cannot convince herself to agree with this idea.
It was impossible for her to regard the lives of ordinary people as nothing in order to reach the source.
And then, Toosaka Rin seemed to remember something and slowly spoke to Emiya Shirou.
"I remember that Kotomine Kirei ran an orphanage in the name of the church—"
"Orphanage!"
Shirou Emiya also remembered that there has always been an orphanage in Fuyuki City that adopts homeless children.
Just like he only knew that there was a church in Fuyuki City but had never been there, Shirou Emiya only had a basic impression of the orphanage and did not pay much attention to it.
But when I think about it carefully, I have lived in Fuyuki City for so many years, but I have never seen any child coming out of that orphanage.
Perhaps because of this, there are no missing persons cases reported in the news.
Just like the homeless people on the street, these homeless and abandoned orphans, not many people care about their life or death, not to mention there will be news reports about the orphans.
In addition, Kotomine Kirei himself is a magician, so it is very easy for him to perform suggestion magic on ordinary people.
Apart from the magus, no one would know that Kotomine Kirei was doing such a thing.
But even if there really is a magician, he would not try to stop him, and might even help him.
"Wait! Emiya, where are you going? Isn't your home over there?"
After hearing what Toosaka Rin said, Emiya Shirou quickly turned around and headed towards the orphanage. Just because he had never been to the orphanage in Fuyuki City didn't mean that he didn't know where the orphanage was.
Fuyuki City is not very big, and having lived here for so many years, Shirou Emiya is already very familiar with the locations of various facilities in Fuyuki City.
"Go to the orphanage and rescue those children--!"
Emiya Shirou's tone was firm. Even though he had just faced off against such a powerful man, and there was a great possibility that he would die at that man's hands, there was no worry or fear in his eyes.
"Ha!? Are you kidding me? I finally rescued you. Do you know how many gems I used up? I just healed your injuries!"
"Do you know how worried Sakura will be if you do this?!"
Hearing what Shirou Emiya said, Toosaka Rin's expression quickly became excited. She really couldn't understand what Shirou Emiya was doing at this moment. Even if there were any benefits to be gained, Toosaka Rin would not stop Shirou Emiya so decisively.
Chapter 522: Toosaka Rin doesn't want to give up either
"It is precisely because I know this that I want to rescue those children as quickly as possible!!"
Shirou Emiya did not avoid the question at all. He stared straight at Toosaka Rin, his tone revealing incomparable determination and stubbornness.
Since he already knew that Kotomine Kirei would attack the people in the orphanage, he needed to rescue them no matter what.
Every day that passes, more children will fall into the hands of Kotomine Kirei.
Shirou Emiya didn't want more children to die because of his indecision.
"Then have you ever thought about what to do with those children after you rescue them?"
Looking at Shirou Emiya in front of her, Toosaka Rin also questioned him loudly.
What if he really rescued those orphans? Shirou Emiya could not really adopt those orphans like in an orphanage.
Shirou Emiya himself does not have the time or energy to raise them.
Just the fact that he has to disappear for two months every once in a while makes it impossible for Shirou Emiya to adopt those children.
It was also impossible for him to ignore the wishes of others and let Sakura, Fujimura Taiga, or Fujimura Raihua choose to accept these children.
"That's something we'll have to wait until we rescue them!"
Shirou Emiya indeed had not thought about how to place the orphans after rescuing them, but this was not a reason to stop Shirou Emiya from going to the orphanage now.
"Tousaka, you go back first!"
Emiya Shirou also spoke to Toosaka Rin, not with such a lowly idea as "since you don't want to come, then I will go alone."
But Shirou Emiya was really worried about the safety of Toosaka Rin.
Even though Toosaka Rin is a magician and even knows more about magic than himself, Emiya Shirou is still unwilling to let Toosaka Rin fall into such danger.
What's more, this matter itself is determined by one's own will, and one should never let others pay the price for one's decision.
The church in the orphanage is not far away. If we go there, we will most likely have to face the blond young man again.
"Really?! Now that I've said this, how could I possibly back down?!"
Toosaka Rin also looked unhappy. How could she just watch Emiya Shirou step into such a difficult situation alone again?
Although they have not been together for a long time, Toosaka Rin cherishes a friend like Emiya Shirou, just as she cherishes her friendship with Mizutsu Ayako.
It was also because of Emiya Shirou that she was able to put aside her grudges and get along so harmoniously with Sakura. She was extremely grateful to Emiya Shirou, and was also curious about Emiya Shirou, a man who always disappeared inexplicably but was highly regarded by everyone he knew.
Although as for herself, she also has a very high opinion of Shirou Emiya.
She never thought that she would make a decision that she should not have made, just like she did when she was a child.
All of this is Emiya Shirou's fault!!!
Toosaka Rin viciously stabbed Shirou Emiya with a needle in her heart.
"but--!"
Shirou Emiya wanted to persuade her, but was interrupted by Rin Toosaka.
“Ha! Who do you think I am? I am the manager of the ley lines in Fuyuki City. How can I just sit there and watch something like this happen in the place under my jurisdiction? If you are in danger again, I will definitely abandon you and run away!”
She yelled at Emiya Shirou loudly in the deserted street, completely losing her usual ladylike image at school.
Of course, this is a lie. After all, these things are completely recognized in the magic world, and no matter what, it is not Toosaka Rin's turn to intervene.
She would not abandon Shirou Emiya and run away alone just because he was in danger.
Otherwise, Toosaka Rin wouldn't have rushed over from home without stopping just because she immediately judged that Emiya Shirou was in trouble.
He would not have rescued Shirou Emiya when he knew that he was no match for the blond young man and might even be killed by him at any time.
"I see--!"
Emiya Shirou also nodded solemnly. He felt Toosaka Rin's determination.
Now is definitely not the time to pull each other over or persuade each other.
Since it is impossible to stop Toosaka Rin's assistance, Emiya Shirou will do his best to protect her safety.
Then——
"Hey! What are you doing! Put me down! I can run by myself! Aa ...
Like a ripe apple, Toosaka Rin's face turned extremely rosy at that moment.
My thoughts came to a standstill at this moment.
She even forgot to resist and didn't know what to say.
She watched helplessly as she was picked up by Shirou Emiya and curled up in his arms.
The hot breath coming from his chest made Toosaka Rin's heart start beating faster.
At this moment, Emiya Shirou's face was extremely close to hers, almost face to face.
But Emiya Shirou seemed not to notice Toosaka Rin's expression at all.
After all, the most important thing for him now is to get to the orphanage as quickly as possible.
So instead of asking Toosaka Rin to perform strengthening magic and run towards the orphanage together, it would naturally be faster and more efficient for me to carry Toosaka Rin towards the orphanage.
He can even protect Toosaka Rin's safety to the greatest extent possible on his way to the orphanage.
The next second————
Before Toosaka Rin could finish being shy, her face quickly turned from rosy to pale.
"Zi la——!"
A thunderous breathing sound came from Shirou Emiya's mouth. While hugging Toosaka Rin tightly, Shirou Emiya lowered his body slightly and stared at the empty street with sharp eyes.
"boom--!"
The ground exploded in an instant.
"laugh!"
At this moment, a slight sound of breaking air was also transmitted through the air.
Shirou Emiya held Toosaka Rin in his arms, jumped onto the roof, and turned into a silver lightning, bursting out at an extremely powerful speed and constantly shuttled between houses.
Although Emiya Shirou did not know what Kotomine Kirei and the blond young man would think.
But if it were me, I would never imagine that they would come back and attack me again.
Because the blond young man could not be dealt with simply by a sudden attack.
This is an absolute gap in strength. Unless he completely lets down his guard, Shirou Emiya will have no chance of defeating him.
But it was precisely because the blond young man didn't care about what Emiya Shirou did that he wanted to quickly reach the orphanage and rescue the orphans before Kotomine Kirei and the blond young man could react.
Chapter 523: Sakura's Accusation
"Senior——! And, Toosaka-senpai——!"
A gentle voice came from in front of Emiya Shirou and Toosaka Rin, who had just returned to the Emiya residence.
Before they could quietly push the door open, Sakura was already standing at the door, squinting her eyes slightly and looking at Emiya and Toosaka Rin who had just returned in the early hours of the morning with a smile on her face.
Just hearing Sakura's name, Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou felt a chill down their spines.
A black aura visible to the naked eye emanated from behind Sakura.
Indeed, it is very late now, and it will be dawn in a few hours.
"Sakura--! Let me explain--! That--!"
Toosaka Rin took a quick step forward and came in front of Sakura, but she hesitated and didn't know what to say.
She didn't want to let Sakura enter the cruel world of magicians, and in a moment of panic, Toosaka Rin didn't know how to explain to Sakura what happened tonight.
Then Toosaka Rin turned around suddenly and looked at Shirou Emiya behind her, and made a face to signal Shirou Emiya to explain out loud.
But at this time, Shirou Emiya was scratching the back of his head with a headache. Toosaka Rin didn't know where to start, and he didn't know how to explain it to Sakura.
"Eh!"
Sakura couldn't help but sigh when she saw the two people so flustered.
"Come in first and talk. It's so late, you'll catch a cold if you stand outside."
