Except for white-haired Sakura, basically no one present was affected by BB's words.
Andersen has always kept himself out of things, and basically does not participate in most things. He has a neutral attitude, and BB's words have no effect on him at all.
Joan of Arc will not be affected by BB's words either. Her beliefs are stronger than anyone else's and will not waver in any way.
This is even more true for Shirou Emiya. Along the way, he met many people and things, and experienced life-and-death battles. Every time he won, he won under impossible circumstances. He himself is synonymous with miracle.
As for Kiara Sesshōin, she was looking forward to BB reaching the Mooncell core more than anyone else. It could be said that this was the most important part of her plan.
Therefore, only Sakura Matou fell into self-blame at this moment.
"Sakura, believe me, believe us—"
With these words, Emiya Shirou and the others returned to the mansion. Sesshōin Kiara took White-haired Sakura and Jeanne to the next room and began to install a technique called the [Five Contemplations of Calming the Mind].
This produced a lot of eye-popping words in various senses.
However, Shirou Emiya did not hear these words. He stayed in the living room with Andersen very honestly and had no intention of going out to peek.
"Caster, what did you mean by the price of power?"
Shirou Emiya naturally kept Andersen's words in mind, but he did not ask out loud at that time.
"Don't you feel anything unusual in your body now?"
"abnormal?"
Emiya Shirou waved his arms, feeling the flow of magic power in his body.
"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual?"
Shirou Emiya looked at Andersen and shook his head, as if Kiara Sesshōin had no major problems with the Five Contemplations Heart Stop he installed.
"Don't you have any negative thoughts in your mind? Like going to peep now or something?"
It was hard for Andersen to imagine that a mentally sound high school student like Emiya Shirou would not have any thoughts of peeping at those three people with proud figures and stunning faces.
Any normal high school student wouldn't have such thoughts, but now looking at Emiya Shirou, I don't feel that he has any intention at all.
"Peeping?"
"It seems like there is a little bit. I always feel like there is something in my heart calling me to do this."
Shirou Emiya didn't know if it was his illusion, but after hearing what Andersen said, he really wanted to go and see what Jeanne and the others were doing. He was very curious about the other way of installing the Five Contemplations, and he definitely didn't want to peek.
"Sure enough, it did affect you. I thought you wouldn't be affected at all—"
Chapter 706: Shirou Emiya's Regret (Edited)
Shirou Emiya is not a person who has erased all his emotions, but the current urgent situation makes him unable to think in other directions.
However, when was Shirou Emiya not in such a pressing situation?
It would be better to say that from the moment he entered that door until now, his life has been out of touch with that of a normal male high school student. On the one hand, he has not lived the life of a normal high school student at all.
He had only attended a few normal classes, and if it weren't for Sister Fuji, he would have dropped out of school due to lack of attendance.
On the other hand, each world has different crises.
Even if Shirou Emiya simply wants to survive, he needs to try his best to think, to train, and to make himself stronger. There are people who care about him in the mansion, and he cannot die easily.
Having said that, whenever Emiya Shirou sees someone in danger, he will jump out without hesitation.
He even thought about how to help people in other worlds in just two months.
Every battle is a dance with swords, constantly hovering between life and death.
Shirou Emiya has almost no time to enjoy himself, let alone time to consider his own selfish desires. It can even be said that his greatest selfish desire is to be able to help more people.
Perhaps it was because of Shirou Emiya's own short yet long experience, not only the life-and-death battle, but also the pain that always tormented him, which had tempered his spirit and made him extremely strong, far surpassing ordinary people.
Of course, being able to endure such inhuman torture and even behave like an ordinary person, making it impossible for others to see any abnormality in Shirou Emiya's body, shows that his willpower is beyond that of ordinary people.
The [evil] that continued to surge into his body was even suppressed unconsciously by Emiya Shirou.
But such suppression is only temporary.
Shirou Emiya's speed of absorbing "evil" was increased by Kiara Seshōin.
However, these established labyrinths themselves were endowed by BB with the ability to isolate [evil], and the [evil] that poured in was extremely rare. Even if the absorption was accelerated, there was not much [evil] in Shirou Emiya's body.
Of course, this only applies to Shirou Emiya. These [evil] cannot even resist his unconscious suppression.
For a normal person or even a magus, they would have been completely devoured by the evil long ago, losing the meaning of existence and then disappearing.
Only in a situation like the present one can these [evil] barely affect Shirou Emiya, and that is just an effect.
"Affect?"
Shirou Emiya touched his chin, caring too much. If installing the Five Concentrations of Calming the Mind only made his emotions a little more volatile, he felt that he could completely accept it.
After all, Sakura Matou had already told him at that time what the consequences would be if someone forcibly loaded someone else's computer spell, and Shirou Emiya just regarded it as a side effect of loading the Five Contemplations of the Mind.
And just as Shirou Emiya was thinking this, the evil thought was instantly suppressed by Shirou Emiya.
"I don't know what kind of experiences made you such a person with such a strong will that you are like a monster—"
Andersen looked at Shirou Emiya, who suppressed such evil thoughts in an instant, and his calm eyes began to tremble.
Even he himself could not suppress this [evil], not to mention that Shirou Emiya was only a human.
"As for the experience, this year's experience is truly unforgettable—"
"Really? Can you tell me how you embarked on this path? Although I write fairy tales, as an author, I am still interested in wonderful stories, which can of course provide me with creative material."
"Otherwise, I would be locked up by that woman every time, and forced to write without any inspiration or material. It would be better to use the Command Spell to make me commit suicide."
Shirou Emiya himself did not expect that he, who was once only able to cause harm with difficulty or even only by relying on the opponent's carelessness, could grow to this point.
"Immortal Ghost"
"Empire of Sin"
"Battle for the Holy Grail"
"The World Made of Existence"
“Never-ending Challenge”
"The Bullet That Keeps Order"
"Hero's Dungeon"
"Do you think it is this magnificent experience that has made you who you are today?"
Listening to Shirou Emiya describing his experiences, even the writer Andersen couldn't help but be fascinated. This was something that ordinary people could not experience at all.
It is even said that ordinary people would have already died when they encountered the immortal ghost who knew blood magic.
"You are capable of growing to this point, but those experiences accelerated your growth. Haven't you seen your own future if you hadn't experienced those things?"
Just at the moment when Andersen and Emiya Shirou finished, a voice of praise came from the side.
“Wow, that’s amazing—!”
At some point, Kiara Sesshōuin and the others had completed the Five Takatsunokan technique and came to the living room, listening to Shirou Emiya telling his story.
Jeanne and White-haired Sakura were also deeply attracted by this experience, and felt heartbroken for Shirou Emiya who was getting deeper and deeper into the vortex.
"When did you come?"
Shirou Emiya really didn't notice the appearance of Jeanne and the others. He was truly immersed in the memories of his past life and death, and constantly regretted the things he had not completed.
There is no evil spirit that can be destroyed.
There is no solution to the Red World Devil.
A world-class criminal organization that has not been dealt with.
There is no entry into the deepest dungeon.
These are the regrets that Shirou Emiya has, but even now, Shirou Emiya is not sure that he can solve these problems.
However, this storytelling session seemed to have attracted someone unexpectedly.
"Master, there are other people upstairs--!" Jeanne whispered in Shirou Emiya's ear.
Shirou Emiya also nodded immediately, then secretly projected a dagger with a chain from under his body and handed it to Jeanne.
He had some guesses in his mind about the person who appeared above his head.
The only one who could be peeping here now is Lip, who had been peeping here before.
Given BB's personality, it is impossible for him to hide in the dark and peek like this. He will definitely show up here unexpectedly and even make fun of himself.
BB, who was digging a road to Mooncell and spying on Shirou Emiya through surveillance, sneezed.
But why am I so familiar with BB, who I have only met a few times?
Emiya Shirou shook his head, then stood up and walked towards the courtyard outside.
Chapter 707: Blitzkrieg (Edited)
At this moment, the sun had set outside and the surrounding ground was all red.
The day was finally approaching night, and Shirou Emiya was actually planning to make plans during the day tomorrow, as night was not a good time for any activities.
Even though Joan of Arc possessed extremely perverted revelations, it was extremely unsafe for her to wander around at night.
After all, Joan of Arc's revelation can only protect herself, others will still be threatened.
Although this is a temporary base, the defense that all Masters feel is unshakable is just a piece of fragile paper in front of Lip and BB, making it unsafe for Sesshōin Kiara, Shiraga Sakura and the others to stay here.
At this time, Lip was still lying on the roof, watching Emiya Shirou, unaware of their intentions.
Jeanne was able to determine Lip's location directly through revelation, and while he was staring at Shirou Emiya, she came to the other side of the courtyard.
As an archer, Shirou Emiya is naturally very sensitive to gazes, let alone such a long period of staring, and Lip has no ability to conceal his breath.
He had also determined Lip's location at this time.
Now Lip is the key for them to leave here. Since she is alone now, they will of course catch her without hesitation.
"call--!"
At this moment, the breeze blew slowly from afar, gently wiping Emiya Shirou's face. The grass in the courtyard also swayed in the wind. Everything seemed so comfortable and beautiful.
“Senior——!”
At this moment, white-haired Sakura in the living room did not dare to speak. She also found Lip's location through external surveillance, and understood the intentions of Shirou Emiya and Jeanne.
After all, if we talk about combat power now, it seems that only Shirou Emiya and Jeanne can fight, and Shirou Emiya is unable to engage in head-on combat due to physical reasons.
"boom--!"
"boom--!"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly arose from the courtyard, and immediately a strong wind was raised.
Two figures tore through the air and rushed away at lightning speed before Lip could even react.
In just a blink of an eye, Jeanne, wearing [Haunted by Evil Spirit], appeared above Lip, tightly grasping her shoulders with both hands, and pressing her arms forward at this moment, making it impossible for Lip to easily resist the terrifying giant claws.
Everyone knew that they couldn't collide with her claws that could easily compress anything into a cube, and they had to suppress it at the first opportunity.
"No, ha-! No, ha-! Don't touch me like that!"
The moment Lip was caught by Joan of Arc, she let out a gasp that sounded extremely shy and her body was struggling frantically.
It seemed that because of the physical contact, Lip was unable to use his cheating strength to push him away.
And then Emiya Shirou also jumped onto the roof.
"Senior! I have locked it now through the Five Contemplations, but I need to get Lip's three secrets to open the door to the wall of the heart."
At this moment, the voice of white-haired Sakura also came from Emiya Shirou's ears.
She communicates with Shirou Emiya over a long distance using her authority as a high-level AI.
Although in the current situation if White-haired Sakura roared, Emiya Shirou would be able to hear it clearly, it was obvious that White-haired Sakura was a lady and would not do such a thing as roaring.
“No! Ha—! No! Ha—!”
Lip was still resisting, breathing hot air from her mouth and sweating profusely from her body, as if Joan of Arc had given her an extremely strong stimulation just by grabbing her.
