Chapter 9 The Returning Sakura

"Let me do it."

I stretched out my right hand to Saber, and the swaying Saber did not hold it tightly, allowing me to easily remove her killing weapon.

"When cutting vegetables, using a knife only requires the strength of your wrist..."

--hey-hey

I was about to explain to Saber with a smile, but suddenly a voice stopped me.

A malicious laughter filled with hatred, penetrated my brain.

Who is it?

I shook my heavy head and looked around at the world that had become gloomy for a moment.

There was only Saber swaying with me as she swayed. She turned around in confusion and noticed my loss of composure.

——I actually forgot my sins and cannot be forgiven!

The kitchen knife in my hand oozed out of the blade, and the rich black blood flowed along the handle of the knife to my arm. I held the knife blankly, and I couldn't put my hand down.

——Die, die, die, die!

More blood poured out of the corner of the kitchen. ()

At a loss, I turned around suddenly and saw the exit of the kitchen. The bright color at the door firmly attracted my sight.

——Ignorance and death, pain, crime, hatred, anger, jealousy, disgust, selfishness, pride, greed, greed, harsh, blame, regret, death, death.

Countless negative feelings turned into curse of death with the sound that took away my hearing, forming a black vortex of despair in the small space. I stood in the center of the vortex and struggled towards the outlet of hope, my mouth opened and closed but could not make any sound.

I only had one thought: I had to leave.

I couldn't move my left hand because I was so mixed up with something. I suddenly waved the knife of my right hand and slashed it. The power of my left hand was loosened. I took the opportunity to pounce forward, trying to get through this vortex of despair.

——Lonely and die of loneliness and die of sorrow and die of laughter and die of joy and die of joy and die of joy and die of death.

The black shadow blocked the small light in front of me, and it was overwhelming to me in an instant. The boundless darkness took away my vision. I, who was about to be swallowed, used all my strength to exhale, and even the power that my internal organs were about to spit out turned into a hissing sound and spit out from my mouth. ()

ah------

The bondage force wrapped around my hands and feet, and I twisted my joints hard to break free. ()

Bang—

The skull was knocked heavily, and my head shook and escaped from the dark vision.

In front of me was a familiar beautiful face, with purple long hair hanging down from the side of my face. At this moment, the face was filled with panic expressions.

The junior girl named Sakura almost held me in a hug, and she called me anxiously.

"Senior! Senior! How are you doing? - Saber, you are too hard!"

"Shirou, are you okay?"

Saber was holding my shoulder from one side at this time, and I noticed that the knife in my right hand was removed by her at some point.

I took a deep breath and then slowly spit out the smell of blood hitting my brain from my nose, but my throat had recovered its ability to make sounds.

"What happened just now?"

"Shirou, as you were talking just now, you suddenly seemed to see something terrifying and wanted to escape. No matter how I called you, you didn't answer."

It was because Sakura was by her side, and Saber seemed to have a lot to say, and finally she was silent and turned into a reproachful look.

"Senior, you go and rest first, I'll prepare breakfast for you."

Sakura's gentle tone was unshakable and firm, and she helped me up and sent me back to the room.

"Then I'll trouble Sakura."

Just like when I was injured before, Sakura took care of me, I expressed my gratitude to Sakura, and then I fell asleep peacefully as soon as I touched my pillow.

~~~~~~~ World~~ Need~~ Divide~~ Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is rare that I did not dream of anything evil, and I woke up in a happy sleep.

It seems that it has been a long time since the last deep sleep.

Since I participated in the Holy Grail War, I seemed to have fallen into other people's dreams. The endless dream journey made me unable to understand that sleeping is a kind of rest.

There is something that does not belong to me that squeezes into my body, conveying all his memories and world to me.

——I have already had this enlightenment in my heart.

But I never worried that I would lose myself. () instead vaguely thanked the power he brought to me, allowing me to see the sword of saber and allow me to help saber.

This gratitude has remained until today, and I discovered the price I paid for it.

When I accepted his power, I also accepted his sins.

While gaining power beyond ordinary people, I also experience sins beyond ordinary people.

No matter what reason he was killing, the killing journey he experienced was something that I could never imagine or bear when I was young.

The morning nightmare is a sign that I cannot bear under the weight of that sin.

I really want to expel that painful experience, and the feelings of self-loath that I gradually cannot bear due to my own crime.

Otherwise, I will definitely become unbearable.

——But at least I passed this level before me first.

I turned my head with emotion and gently called out the name of the girl who had been sitting in a corner of the room with her head buried.

"cherry--"

The long purple hair quickly responded and shaking, revealing Sakura's delicate oriental face, and the blush on her forehead was still printed on her arms for a long time.

"Senior is awake, wait, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Before he finished speaking, Sakura had already gotten up and ran out, and in less than a minute, he brought me some steaming food.

"Sakura, I'm starting to move-"

"By the way, there is water. Senior, I'll leave first."

Sakura's hand habitually stroked the purple hair on the side of her neck, and suddenly stood up and left with a hurried look. After a while this time, when she brought a glass of water, there were traces of washing on her face, and her long hair was softly draped backwards on her shoulders.

Speaking of which, even when she is at home, Sakura has always paid great attention to her appearance. I have rarely seen her lose her composure.

Let go of this rude idea and I quickly resolve the breakfast or lunch in front of me.

"Sakura, how long have I slept?"

"It's 10:30 now. The senior just now had a very strong fever, why didn't he take good care of himself?"

"Oh, because it's not serious, so I don't care."

In fact, there was no such symptoms in the morning, and the attack was only a moment, but this is the reason for the magic, and it must be kept secret from Sakura.

The profession of a magician cannot be promoted to the world, so I lied to Sakura.

"Senior must protect himself. Saber said she can protect you, but some places were not taken care of."

Sakura looked angry and looked angry.

"It's not about Saber's business, I accidentally got a fever..."

“But Isn’t it too hard to make breakfast when I have a fever?”

"Saber also helps, and it's a very simple thing. Don't care too much."

"No matter what, seniors still need people to take care of. So now we have to rely on me."

Ignoring my defense, Sakura expressed her determination firmly in a deep voice.

“Huh—?”

"I decided that in order to take care of my senior, I needed to live here for a while, so I disturbed my senior."

The purple-haired girl lowered her head and bowed to me.

"But……"

...My home is now the combat base of the Holy Grail War, and maybe it will be invaded by the Servant at any time.

How can I explain this reason?

"There are also quilts I use in the guest room. Seniors don't have to worry about this. I will pack up after using it."
