The girl could only stare blankly at the boy who slaughtered everyone and returned to her. The fear made her unable to move.
"Are you okay—"
The boy squatted down and asked with a very concerned tone.
Chapter 793: Even what happened five minutes ago is a distant dream
"elder sister--!"
A weak cry came from a very dilapidated hut. It was from a young girl whose voice could only be heard as being extremely thin.
Its body did not seem to have become thinner due to hunger.
She had short pink hair and was lying on the bed very weakly.
But compared to yesterday, the pink short-haired girl's face became noticeably rosier after eating.
"Sister is here, sister is here——!"
As if she heard the pink-haired girl's call, a girl with long golden hair who was lying next to her and leaning against her quickly opened her eyes and put a glass of water that was carefully placed aside to the mouth of the girl who sounded extremely weak.
"Gudong——!"
As if it was an instinct for survival, the weak pink-haired girl drank up the little remaining water in one gulp.
But the woman with long golden hair did not blame her at all. Instead, she looked at the girl with a worried expression on her face, even though her face was still pale after drinking water.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault—!"
The girl who drank the water out of instinct immediately began to blame herself. If it weren't for her, her sister wouldn't always be subjected to such cruel abuse.
She kept thinking about when she would die so that she would no longer be a burden to her sister. However, her weak body did not give her the strength to commit suicide.
"Don't blame yourself like this, don't blame yourself like this--!"
The woman with long golden hair held her very gently, as if she was afraid that she would go away from her at any time. She did not dare to hug her tightly, nor did she dare to let go.
At this moment, the hazy sky outside gradually became brighter.
The sun had not yet risen from the east and floated into the sky, but a small curtain of light had already descended from the edge of the sky, telling people that dawn had arrived.
The chaos began to subside as the morning approached.
At this moment, facing the rising light curtain, a white-haired young man stood at the door of this dilapidated house, like a statue, standing there without moving.
It was even said that this white-haired boy had been standing here and protecting them since yesterday.
It should be said that it is protection.
“Emiya——!”
Looking at the white-haired boy standing at the door and gazing into the distance, the girl with long golden hair walked towards him while calling his name.
But Shirou Emiya seemed not to have heard it and still stood at the door without any movement.
It was not until the girl with long golden hair stood in front of him that his dull yet sharp eyes came back to their senses.
"Did you just say something?"
"Sorry, my head always feels dizzy after coming here."
"Everything in the past began to fade from my mind like a dream."
"Even what happened five minutes ago seems like a distant dream—"
Shirou Emiya looked at the girl with long golden hair standing in front of him and expressed his apology softly.
He felt his memory becoming confused and he could not remember many things. Only those things that were engraved in his soul could be recalled with difficulty.
The girl with long golden hair could also sense that something was wrong with Shirou Emiya, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal worry.
"We who have died will gradually lose our memories of our lives, but we won't have any dizziness symptoms. Are you okay?"
"have no idea--"
Shirou Emiya shook his head. He didn't know whether his situation was abnormal, but judging from the expression of the girl with long golden hair, it must be an abnormal situation.
As for the fact that he was dead, Shirou Emiya was not surprised and did not react excessively.
Because he vaguely remembered that he was already dead.
You should also come to this world after death.
In his fragmented memories, Emiya Shirou understood that he was already dead, and what stood up in the end was a corpse driven by will.
"I'm not sure either. I'm just a soul that could die at any time here—"
The girl with long golden hair sighed. She was struggling for survival every day. Even just staying alive had already exhausted all her strength. Apart from some basic knowledge, she could not do anything else.
If the soul that comes to this world has no spiritual power, it will not feel hungry. It only needs to absorb the spirit particles in the atmosphere and water to survive. Therefore, there is nothing to eat in most areas of Rukongai.
Starting from the 78th District, water shortage became a serious problem and became a target for theft and looting. Some people even sold water as a commodity for profit.
In the first district, the security and living environment are ideal, and there is plenty of food. In the 80th district, there is no grass growing, and famine is everywhere. Everyone's souls kill each other to determine who gets the right to live.
The Saraki District is the worst and cruelest of all the 80th Districts.
In an area where people have to fight for even water, the appearance of edible food, even just an ordinary pancake, is enough to cause a bloody storm.
This is also why the girl was cornered and tortured inhumanely.
If the street area where the girl was at the moment was not occupied by a local force in the Zanmu District, she would have been ruthlessly killed by the people here the moment they saw the food in her hand.
As for why those people killed the girl without saying a word when they saw the food in her hand.
That is naturally for sustainable development. In this way, all those who are not from their own forces will be killed. If they want to seize resources, they can only fight with those who occupy other bases.
Where did the food in the golden-haired girl's hand come from? Only she knew this.
The reason why she tried every possible means to get food, even at the cost of her own life, was very simple: it was for her sister.
For some reason, her sister's health condition deteriorated every day, and the drinking water did not show any improvement.
Therefore, the girl with long golden hair decided to take a risk and try whether food could make her sister's health condition better.
She didn't know that souls with higher spiritual powers sometimes still couldn't survive even if they absorbed enough spiritual particles in the atmosphere. They would become too hungry and become exhausted, and in more serious cases, they might even die.
The blonde girl is just a person who devotes everything to her loved ones.
She didn't know much about this world. She only knew that anyone who came here would lose their memories of their previous lives and would be separated from their loved ones, with almost no way for them to meet each other.
It should be normal for Shirou Emiya to have memory disorder, but as for the rest, she can't do anything about it.
"Maybe Lord Death can understand what happened to you."
At this moment, the pink short-haired girl lying on the straw bed slowly sat up and spoke to Emiya Shirou.
Chapter 794: An Unchangeable Situation
The chaos continues.
There was no pause at all because of yesterday's killing.
It seems that people in this area have become accustomed to this kind of thing.
It can even be said that this kind of large-scale death is a common thing for these people.
They have seen and experienced too much killing and death.
This is also why the girl with long golden hair can face Shirou Emiya without any burden.
Here, either you kill others or you will be killed by others. There is no other way to survive.
The girl has become accustomed to this world where the strong prey on the weak, even though in this world, she will be preyed upon and is the weak one.
At this moment, the girl with long golden hair stood beside Shirou Emiya, and was walking behind Shirou Emiya, holding the hand of the girl with short pink hair who had recovered a little and was able to move on her own.
In the chaotic streets, it seemed that someone recognized Shirou Emiya as a killing god, and immediately stopped their abusive actions. They hid in the dark, waiting for Shirou Emiya to leave.
That was a force that at least had some reputation in this street, and they were all killed by Shirou Emiya. Fear was in everyone's eyes.
They were afraid of being targeted by Shirou Emiya, and were deeply wary of the fact that he could easily kill those who occupied this place.
Shirou Emiya did not do anything to educate these people. He just walked silently in front of the two girls, looking at everything here with an extremely sad expression.
He wanted to change this place, but he had no power to do so.
This is not Fuyuki City, nor is it the labyrinth city of Orario. It is more like the Imperial Capital, and it cannot be stopped simply by fighting violence with violence.
The evil people and those who bully others in Fuyuki City and the labyrinth city of Orario are all because of the evil and desire in their hearts. For their own pleasure and interests, they cause misfortune to others, and even take pleasure in the misfortune of others.
The Imperial Capital is rotten because the entire existence responsible for leading the people is rotten, and no matter how much Shirou Emiya does, he cannot change the current situation of the civilians, they will only be ruthlessly exploited.
As for the Saraki District, is it just because of the security? It is more because of the lack of resources.
Even if Shirou Emiya took action and really suppressed such an area, what would happen? He would not be able to let these people continue to live, because Shirou Emiya simply did not have the resources to allow people to survive.
There will only be more people resisting, and more people will die as a result.
All he could do was to solve the oppression he saw, but he had no way to fundamentally change it.
This place, like the Empire, is something that Shirou Emiya cannot change by his own power.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Mr. Emiya is our savior, but we are using him like this—"
Just as Emiya Shirou was looking around, the two sisters were talking behind him.
What my sister said was indeed true. Even though they had lived in this world for so long, they were still not familiar with many things and most of them they heard from other people on the street.
As for what kind of changes happened to Shirou Emiya's body after his death, and why he had such a headache, perhaps only the person in charge of managing this world would know.
I just said this to my sister with a little selfish motive.
She heard from her sister about Shirou Emiya's fighting ability. He could easily deal with those people, and naturally he could also take them away from here.
That's right, just leave here.
Leave this place which is like hell, or maybe even more cruel than hell.
They were able to learn from the people on the street that the closer to Seireitei, the better the living conditions and the more abundant the resources.
But with their strength, it is impossible for them to leave here alive. They will only die on the way to the area near Seireitei.
What's more, it is almost impossible for people of their status to enter closer areas, as they will be stopped by the Grim Reaper in charge.
Everyone knows that the closer you are to Seireitei, the richer the resources are. So why would anyone be willing to stay in such a desolate, hellish place where you can't even fill your stomach?
That's because the God of Death who is in charge of them has restricted people like them. If they want to pass, they have to ask the knife in their hand whether it agrees.
"It's cooperation, not exploitation. I'm not lying. Mr. Emiya has such strength that he will go to a more central area no matter what! What's more, we can lead the way for Emiya!"
Seeing her elder sister seeming to feel guilty and afraid of being blamed by Emiya Shirou, the younger sister pouted and tried to persuade and refute her.
How can this be said to be exploitable? It can only be said to be mutually beneficial. Without them, how would Emiya Shirou know the way to Soul Society.
"But we don't know how to get there--!"
The girl with long golden hair spoke a little uneasily, glancing slightly at Emiya Shirou's broad back, her face couldn't help but turn red.
"Of course we don't know. It's enough to know the direction. You see, Emiya is always in a daze from time to time. Without us, he would probably get lost on the road!"
The girl with short pink hair retorted that compared to the gentle and graceful girl with long golden hair, she seemed more eccentric.
"But if we leave here, we will inevitably face the God of Death. Wouldn't that harm Emiya?"
But she was still very worried. In her eyes, Emiya Shirou was indeed very strong, but the power of the God of Death was something that commoners like them could not shake at all.
"Just wait and see, and then give up if it doesn't work--!"
At this point, the pink-haired girl's arrogance also dissipated. Indeed, no matter how strong Emiya Shirou was, he was just a young boy who had just arrived in this world, while the God of Death had lived for hundreds or thousands of years and even had a professional systematic training.
She would not be so stubborn as to believe that Shirou Emiya could defeat the God of Death.
What's more, the pink-haired girl has never seen Shirou Emiya's battle scenes with her own eyes. Since her sister thinks that Shirou Emiya is no match for the Grim Reaper, she will not blindly believe that Shirou Emiya can deal with him.
"But, sister, you are so worried about Emiya. Are you in love with him because he saved the beauty?"
Suddenly, the pink-haired girl changed the subject and looked at her sister, whose face had completely turned red, with a naughty smile.
“Don’t, don’t say that. I, I didn’t mean that. It would be bad if Mr. Emiya heard it—!!!!!!”
The blonde girl secretly glanced at Shirou Emiya's back again, and her face became even redder.
"Although he is very dull, I don't know why, after just such a short time together, I also have a good impression of him, and I really want to stay by his side. If you don't catch him, then I will take action!"
