However, Shirou Emiya did not notice that on the second floor, a girl with bright red hair saw all this and followed him quietly.
To be precise, it was not quietly, but just like the black-haired boy followed the blond-haired boy, the red-haired girl followed Emiya Shirou openly.
Just like the blond boy, Shirou Emiya didn't notice anything unusual behind him.
Ying looked at the four people lined up in the corridor in front of her with a puzzled look on her face, but no one noticed the abnormality behind them.
Chapter 534: The Abnormal Chestnut-Haired Girl
"This world is really well made. I don't know if it's the details, but even the air is so real."
"If I must say, this place is even more realistic than reality—"
The young man with short golden hair seemed to be talking to someone, speaking slowly in a gentle voice with a faint tone.
"Life here isn't bad. I've heard about it, but I've never been to a place like this school."
"In that sense I had a very interesting experience—"
Beside him, Emiya Shirou did not feel any of the weirdness that belonged to this world. Rather, it was from his gentle words and the emotions contained in them.
What Emiya Shirou got was that this young magician was truly enjoying the false school life that the world gave him.
It was as if he was sharing it with some people he knew. Even though his back was facing away from him, Shirou Emiya could feel that he had a faint smile on his face that could not arouse any hostility.
It is the kind of person whose soul's brilliance can be sensed just by meeting him once.
"But this is the end of it. This is not the place for me."
"A fork in the road is always a fork in the road, and the time to return to the original path will always come."
As if expressing regret or sighing, the boy with short golden hair just changed the subject and abandoned his school life to devote himself to a greater career.
However, before the short-haired boy could finish his words, Shirou Ebisu quickly looked behind him.
The red-haired girl obviously didn't react, and her steps continued to move slowly forward, approaching Emiya Shirou.
She wanted to know what was happening ahead so much that the nagging voice turned into an extremely strong noise in her field of vision.
An intense sense of disharmony continued to surround her.
But she didn't expect that because she was too close, she was easily discovered by Shirou Emiya.
This was her first time trying to stalk someone, and also her first time being discovered while stalking someone.
When the red-haired girl saw Emiya Shirou, her expression suddenly became panicked. She walked slowly forward but quickly tried to retreat.
His steps quickly became unstable and his body quickly fell to the side.
"!"
With his quick eyes and hands, Shirou Emiya held his breath, lowered his pace, and walked briskly towards the girl who was falling to the ground. He wanted to grab her hand and pull her up.
But seeing her extremely panicked face and quickly opened lips because of the sudden situation.
The movements of Shirou Emiya's hands changed rapidly in this short period of time. One hand tightly covered her mouth, and the other hand slid across her waist and caught it steadily.
"Goodbye—"
At this moment, the blond boy seemed to be saying goodbye as he slowly spoke to the wall in front of him.
Then, without any hesitation, he walked forward with extremely firm steps towards the road ahead where there was no longer any road.
The black-haired boy following behind him was startled and quickened his pace to catch up.
However, the blond boy's body, which was about to touch the wall, suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, and spoke slowly again.
"No, I made a mistake. I said the wrong goodbye."
"Although I don't understand the reason now, I feel that I will meet you again, so I should say see you next time here!"
"Well, I'll go first. I wish you good luck—"
After saying his final goodbye, the boy with short golden hair slowly sank into the wall and disappeared.
He seemed to notice, or he seemed not to notice, the two people following behind them.
The black-haired boy following closely behind him also took a few steps back in surprise, then put his hands on the wall and slowly disappeared.
“Wuwuwuwuwuwu!!!!!!!!!”
The girl struggled hard in Shirou Emiya's arms, her eyes filled with fear and she wanted to escape.
But how could her strength be comparable to that of Emiya Shirou, who had been training for who knows how long? She had almost no way to break free from Emiya Shirou's hands.
"sorry--!"
Seeing the two people disappear, Shirou Emiya breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly let go of his hand. Looking at the red-haired girl in front of him with an extremely panicked look, Shirou Emiya quickly apologized.
Although he was following her, he subconsciously asked her to keep quiet.
But no matter from which perspective, Shirou Emiya needs to apologize for treating a woman like this.
"No, I'm fine, and thank you--"
The red-haired girl covered her head, and when she saw that Shirou Emiya didn't seem to have any hostility and even apologized for what happened before, her expression softened.
After all, I was discovered while following them, and if Emiya Shirou hadn't supported me at that time, I would have fallen miserably to the ground and would have been discovered by the two people in front.
She also wanted to thank Shirou Emiya in her heart.
However, when she was held in Emiya Shirou's arms, she also saw the scene where her two classmates disappeared into the wall.
The noise in his field of vision, like snow on a TV, became increasingly intense. A voice deep in his heart, coming from nowhere, kept telling him to look for this extremely discordant truth.
"Are you a magician?"
Seeing that the girl didn't care about what happened before, Emiya Shirou slowly asked. After all, apart from the magus who found something strange, no one would do such a thing as following someone.
What's more, it seems that because I came to the moon through a special path and not through the earth's server like those magicians, I don't have a corresponding identity in this virtual world at all.
Most NPCs will not consider themselves as existing unless you speak up and address them.
Advanced AI should also have its own behavioral magic like Sakura, and basically will not engage in behavior like following a magician.
After much thought, the only option is magician.
However, the girl seemed to not understand at all. She stared blankly at Emiya Shirou, frowning slightly, as if she was hearing these words for the first time.
"!"
However, before the girl could ask, noise points like snowflakes appeared crazily in her field of vision, filling half of her sight in just an instant.
An extremely strong sense of disharmony surrounded the girl crazily, as if the Emiya Shirou she had come into contact with was an even more abnormal existence in this world.
With her vision almost taken away, she staggered again. Emiya Shirou didn't know what was happening and hurried to support her.
The girl did not have any physical abnormalities. She simply staggered because her vision was affected by the noise and the extremely abnormal sense of incongruity. She was unable to react for a while.
However, Emiya Shirou's eyes were full of concern, because he didn't understand what was happening to this girl. She looked like she had heard the word magician for the first time.
Full of confusion and puzzlement, a red windbreaker was quickly projected onto the girl's body.
He is not a doctor, and this is not the real world, so Shirou Emiya doesn't know what is happening to the girl.
Shirou Emiya could only put the windbreaker, which had the ability to restore and resist some magic and curses, on the girl, hoping that she would feel better.
Chapter 535: Like a Dungeon Maze
"I want to go first--!"
Feeling the constant noise and strong sense of disharmony in her vision, the girl decided not to continue the stalemate with Emiya Shirou and wanted to touch the wall as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, the constant feeling of disharmony would be enough to drive me crazy.
She also didn't want to continue living this extremely fake daily life. Moreover, she could feel that this fake daily life did not seem to be a good thing for her. If she really immersed herself in it, she might face extremely tragic consequences.
Holding tightly the red cape draped over her body, the girl slowly touched the wall with her hand.
Just like those people who disappeared in front of Emiya Shirou before, the girl also seemed to be swallowed by the wall and disappeared on the spot.
"Is it my turn?"
Looking at the disappearing red-haired girl, Emiya Shirou sighed slightly and slowly walked forward.
Just as Emiya Shirou came into contact with the source of this so-called sense of disharmony, a door that seemed to not belong to this world at all appeared before his eyes.
It was as if it was connected to some completely unimaginable place. Just by standing in front of this door, Shirou Emiya could feel the strange atmosphere coming from it.
But Emiya Shirou did not hesitate, but gently pushed the door open.
This is what appears to be a utility room.
The surrounding area is filled with various decorations and tools that are rarely used in school or that may only be used in festivals.
Shirou Emiya did not see the red-haired girl who had just entered such a room.
Presumably, the moment they stepped through this door, they were all transported into different spaces.
At this time, Shirou Emiya didn't know what those people were facing.
At the end of the utility room, there was a pitch-black door that looked like the entrance to another world.
丨Standing motionless by the door are dolls with smooth skin.
It looked at Shirou Emiya who appeared here with a somewhat idiotic expression.
A faint voice also sounded from Emiya Shirou's mind at this moment.
"Become your sword and shield—"
This kind of Servant-like remarks quickly made Emiya Shirou realize that this puppet might be playing the role of a Servant.
It is not enough to realize that you are a magician.
They also need to prove themselves to Mooncell and be able to become a qualified Master.
Is that right?
Emiya nodded to the puppet, and the puppet responded to Emiya Shirou.
At this moment, the puppet and Shirou Emiya established an extremely weak connection, a connection that could be broken at any time.
This is like a training and test for a magician. I am afraid that after the Servant is truly summoned, this doll will be abandoned.
After taking a quick look at the surroundings, Emiya Shirou stepped into the door in front of him that seemed to lead to another world without hesitation.
He didn't need to hesitate at all, as he had always been doing this kind of stepping into the unknown world.
Because of this reason, my body was destroyed when I arrived in this world.
And the moment Shirou Emiya stepped into the door, a path of blue light appeared under his feet.
Countless darkness surrounded him and the puppet in just an instant, and only the road under their feet, glowing with light blue light, stretched infinitely ahead.
Shirou Emiya said nothing and walked silently towards the road ahead.
But I am full of vigilance towards such a world.
Shirou Emiya had no idea about this computer world made up of spirit particles.
Shirou Emiya himself doesn't know much about magic other than projection magic and strengthening magic.
What's more, this is another extremely advanced magic that is completely different from his own world.
He could only keep moving forward along the road ahead with the utmost vigilance.
The idol seemed to know nothing and followed behind Shirou Emiya silently.
"Shh-!"
It was like suddenly stepping into a future space made up of countless numbers. The darkness that originally swallowed everything turned into a crisp azure blue at this moment. Shirou Emiya could clearly see countless data constantly wandering on the side of the road.
The construction of the space here seems to be in real time. It seems to have started to be constructed as soon as Shirou Emiya stepped into this space.
And the fact was just as Emiya Shirou thought, with various data of different colors flashing around.
The environment around him changed again. The azure blue blocks filled all the surrounding space, leaving only a road leading forward.
A faint sense of threat emanated from the ground beneath my feet and the walls around me.
It was as if the legendary monsters might emerge from it at any time.
This feeling, coupled with the sudden appearance of a large space ahead and a different path.
