[Gilgamesh: @Kotomine Kirei, no matter which world you're in, you still look so familiar! But the you in this world on the light screen seems to know how to pursue pleasure even better.]

[Kotomine Kirei: Hahahaha, I am feeling pleasure right now!]

[Illya: For Miyu, for his sister, he gave up on being a champion of justice... I never expected Shirou to have this side to him.]

[Waver Velvet: This time, he didn't choose to be a champion of justice for the world but chose to be Miyu's reliable older brother. Maybe that's what it feels like?]

[Rin Tohsaka: That's not quite right. Even though the Ainsworths spoke of humanity's future, it's hard to call their actions just.]

Simultaneously, Fuyuki City—Fifth Holy Grail War Timeline.

Emiya Shirou fell into deep thought as he watched the scene on the screen.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like to give up his ideal of becoming a champion of justice.

This was the conviction he had inherited from Kiritsugu and intended to uphold.

Yet, he never expected that another version of himself in a different world would change his creed just like that.

"But then again, different experiences inevitably breed different ideas."

Emiya Shirou didn't dwell on it too much. After all, even if it was another Emiya Shirou, it wasn't him.

With a light laugh, Emiya Shirou returned his gaze to the light screen.

[On the light screen, Matou Sakura and Emiya Shirou finished their meal. As Matou Sakura prepared to go home, Emiya Shirou offered to walk her back.]

[The two walked along the road, the white snow around them seeming a bit desolate. Matou Sakura softly said goodbye to Shirou Emiya, her voice tinged with reluctance and resolve: "If possible, I'd also like to spend more time with you, Senpai."]

[Her words were like a spring breeze, warming Emiya Shirou's heart. However, Matou Sakura's next words stunned him.]

["Going to school together, joining clubs together, walking home together, saying 'see you tomorrow' together... These seemingly insignificant little things are a great happiness to me."]

[Emiya Shirou stared blankly at Matou Sakura, momentarily at a loss for how to respond. He was about to speak when he saw Matou Sakura's bag and umbrella accidentally fall to the ground.]

[She bent down to pick up a card and looked tenderly at Emiya Shirou: "But all of this will end soon. Because the Holy Grail War has quietly begun."]

["Holy Grail War?" Hearing this, Emiya Shirou's face was full of shock and confusion, "How do you know about this?"]

[Matou Sakura gently stroked the card in her hand and slowly revealed the truth: "Because one of the families that created this ritual is our Matou family."]

[She forced a smile, as if to lighten the heavy atmosphere: "I thought you would be even more flustered, Senpai."]

[Emiya Shirou lowered his head, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes: "Maybe. Maybe I'm just used to losing."]

[Upon hearing this, Sakura Matou's smile grew more bitter: "Then am I also a part of what you're about to lose?"]

[Emiya Shirou didn't answer directly. Instead, he silently picked up the umbrella from the ground and looked firmly at Sakura Matou: "Sakura, are you going to attack me?"]

[Sakura Matou's expression turned serious as she explained earnestly: "The Holy Grail War is a cruel ritual where you transform yourself into a Servant using the Class Cards in your hand and then fight each other."]

["And the card in my hand is the card of the strongest King of Heroes, Gilgamesh. Now, I want to give it to you."]

[As she spoke, Sakura Matou handed the card to Emiya Shirou. However, he did not reach out to take it, his eyes filled with confusion.]

["Why?" He couldn't help but ask.]

["If you want to rescue Miyu, it's impossible without this card," Matou Sakura's tone revealed helplessness and determination.]

[Gilgamesh: How did my card end up in the hands of this mongrel? Are there multiple copies of the same card? Does that mean different people can use the same Servant's power to fight?]

[Lord El-Melloi II: Probably not. There must be some restrictions. Let's wait and see what is explained later.]

[Gilgamesh: No matter what, you dared to give my card to someone else, especially to a mongrel like Emiya Shirou! This is an unforgivable sin!]

The light screen continued to flicker.

[Matou Sakura suddenly hugged Emiya Shirou tightly, her voice choked with tears: "If you can, please run away. Forget magecraft, forget Miyu, and run as far away as possible. If you are willing to do this, I am willing to give up everything and run away with you."]

[Emiya Shirou felt Matou Sakura's warmth and resolve, his heart filled with conflicting emotions. He was about to say no when he saw an invisible force suddenly pierce Matou Sakura's shoulder, blood instantly staining the ground red.]

["Sakura!!!!!!" Emiya Shirou screamed, rushing over to hold the collapsing Matou Sakura.]

[At that moment, a man with seaweed-like hair walked out from the shadows, a twisted smile on his face: "Really... little sister... how can you just think about running off with a man so easily..."]

[He walked up to Shirou Emiya, his eyes filled with a strong threat: "It seems that as your brother, I need to discipline you properly!"]

[Rin Tohsaka: No matter which world he's in, Matou Shinji is an absolute scumbag!!!]

[Illya (Magical Girl): How can you treat your sister like this? Can you even be called a brother?]

[Waver Velvet: His look, his behavior... he doesn't seem normal, more like a lunatic.]

[Tokiomi Tohsaka: The Matou family... has it become like this? Sakura...]

[Kariya Matou: This is all Tokiomi Tohsaka's fault!]
