Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Several people were fighting and making a fuss, and the ordinary dinner just passed by.

As for what happens after dinner, everyone plays their own games...

It seemed that Rin was very angry and had not yet calmed down, so she locked herself in the room. Sakura originally wanted to comfort her, but was persuaded to come back by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the room.

That voice...how should I describe it...

It sounds a bit like the thump of dumbbells hitting the ground.

But why would there be dumbbells in a girl's room? She must be overthinking it... probably.

As for the other side, Shirou chose to go to the balcony after cleaning up the table. At this time, the sky outside was almost completely dark, but there was still a streak of white at the horizon.

From here, you can directly see the starry night sky. The wonderful and dreamy feeling is intoxicating. This is also Shirou's favorite place to stay when he has nothing to do.

But today, someone has already occupied this position...

"Shinji! Why are you here?"

"Well... I had nothing to do and was bored, so I came here to see the scenery."

Shinji put his hands behind his head, lying flat on the roof near the balcony, staring at the stars in the sky boredly.

He had looked at the starry sky like this many times before. He still remembered that the last time he looked at the starry sky in this world, he was excited about the infinite possibilities of the future and looked forward to exploring the unknown.

As for now... Of course there are, but this starry sky is no longer as mysterious as it was before. He even wondered if he could try to move the stars in the sky...

Still a pretty crazy idea.

"Really? Then it seems we are quite similar in this respect."

"Maybe."

"..."

"..."

One of them was lying on the roof, and the other was standing on the balcony below, both of them silently admiring the scenery in front of them...as if they would never see it again.

"I say... Shinji, you have been traveling outside for so long, you must have a wider range of experience... So I want to ask, in your opinion, where can my strength be ranked?"

"...Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, just a little curious."

Shinji's eyes wandered for a moment, somewhat surprised that Shirou would ask him this, but even if he didn't look at him now, he could probably guess the other person's expression.

But if we talk about knowledge, he definitely has a lot, it all depends on which team the other person is asking about...

"It's hard to say... If we only rank them by strength, there are too many uncertain individuals."

"Like a large-scale magic that can only be used under certain circumstances, a tyrant who controls a region with his strategies, or a familiar like a Heroic Spirit whose power far exceeds that of an ordinary magician..."

Shinji thought for a moment, then continued to name the dangerous existences one by one as if he was reading out the names of dishes.

After all, magicians are still human beings, and as long as their life form does not change, there will inevitably be various ways to kill them.

"So that's the way it is... Then let me ask it another way. If I were to face them alone now, what would my chances of winning be?"

"..."

Hearing this, Shinji silently opened his narrowed eyes. He seemed to know the purpose of this kid asking these questions...

"...half and half."

"Eh!? Half of it?"

Shirou was a little shocked when he heard this. Judging from what the other party had just said, this guy sounded like a difficult one to deal with. He was ready to take the hit.

I didn't expect it to be...

“Don’t get me wrong!”

"!?"

"What I mean is...if you run away after you encounter them, then you will have at least a 50% chance of surviving..."

"..."

"But if you choose to continue to be a 'partner of justice', then there is a 50% chance that you will die in agony."

"...Then the other half, doesn't it still have a 50% chance?"

"The other half probability... you can survive, but only you will survive."

When Shinji said these words again, the first person that came to his mind was Emiya Kiritsugu, the man who was extremely outstanding in both strength and brainpower.

Among all the people he has met, the magi who can give him the greatest sense of crisis are only Kotomine Kirei and that guy... He might even not have been able to get to this point if there had not been a gap in information.

But even so, without his interference, that guy's ending was quite miserable...

"...I see. I think I understand what you mean."

After hearing Shinji's explanation, Shirou did not make any rebuttal, or in fact he had already guessed the answer.

So now he lowered his eyes, clenched his fists slightly, and didn't know what he was thinking...

Seeing the atmosphere gradually become serious, Shirou suddenly realized and scratched his head apologetically:

"Sorry, I said something weird... So, Shinji, what do you think your chances are of winning against those powerful enemies now?"

"Ninety-nine percent."

"Ninety-nine percent!?"

"That's right... There's a 99% chance that I'll win, and the other 1% chance that the opponent is stronger than me... But at that time, I'll choose to flip the table."

At this point, Shinji suddenly sat up and glanced at Shirou calmly:

"...I will not lose."

"..."

"...Hahaha! Shinji, you are really confident. It seems that you have become stronger in the past two years!"

Shirou laughed as if he heard a joke, but this laughter did not sound relaxed, it could even be said to be... a little excited.

“Hahaha… Then, do you want to give it a try?”

The red-haired boy's laughter gradually died down, and was followed by an extremely serious statement.

"Heh! Don't disturb our neighbors."

Shinji raised the corner of his mouth and gladly accepted the challenge...it seemed that he was not the only one who felt confused.

......

"boom!!!"

"!?"

"What happened!"

Not long after it became completely dark, a huge explosion suddenly shook the mansion like an earthquake.

Toosaka Rin, who was still in the room, heard the explosion and rushed out immediately in a hurry. Because the incident happened suddenly, she was still wearing a training tights, but she still put on a coat on the outside.

"Hey! Sakura, did you hear that noise just now?"

"Hmm! It seems to be coming from the yard outside the door!"

Both girls were attracted by the sudden explosion, so they looked at each other tacitly and immediately ran out the door.

But when they rushed out of the door, they were stunned...
