Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Only then can she create a labyrinth as complex as the arena so easily.

Only then can she create an EX-level door that can only be opened by the power of the mind.

She can even directly create a Servant with multiple myth essences.

White-haired Sakura naturally cannot achieve the level of BB, nor can she improve the inherent skills of Saint Jeanne d'Arc to make it carry three effects at the same time.

But through the authority, Jeanne d'Arc can reset the effects brought by the saint, which can still be done with difficulty.

That feather robe is naturally a magic costume developed by White-haired Sakura through the data of Lip compression space and Jeanne d'Arc to make [Sacred Shroud Cloth], which is also a countermeasure.

But this countermeasure, according to White-haired Sakura's calculation, should only be able to resist for a few seconds.

Her own strength is too much, if there are Toosaka Rin, Matou Shinji, Leo, Lani and other people who are extremely sensitive to such things and extremely talented, it is impossible to really create a magic costume that can resist Lip's compression ability.

But now, after a night of hard work, it can only do this.

Last night, everyone was fully prepared for today's battle.

Kiara Sesshōin locked Andersen in the study and a small dark room to urge him to type.

Shirou Emiya was constantly projecting and forging treasures to prepare for the next situation, and categorizing which treasures he could use now and which he could not use.

Sakura Shiraha first made feather clothes that could resist compression with Jeanne, and then used the Five Calming Contemplations with Kiara Sesshōin to try to get into the other person's heart as quickly as possible.

Jeanne then came to Shirou Emiya and accompanied him in projecting, forging, and getting familiar with the treasures provided by Shirou Emiya.

Many of Shirou Emiya's treasures that he could not use could only be handed over to Jeanne.

It was under such circumstances that they spent the whole night facing the battle that was about to come.

The reason why Shirou Emiya was able to eliminate Cu Chulainn and Drake so quickly was that, on the one hand, he had experience fighting against them and won, and the other party was only fighting him for the first time in his memory.

Another aspect was the full preparation one day in advance. With full intelligence, it was natural to make good preparations.

The appearance of the Infinite Sword System was the same. Its real purpose was not simply to deal with Cu Chulainn and Drake, but also to cut off BB's surveillance.

White-haired Sakura was able to use the surveillance of the maze to monitor every move of the surrounding environment. As a machine of the same type, with the same authority and using more powerful power, BB could not possibly not use the surrounding surveillance.

The existence form of the spirit world constructed by Mooncell is almost equivalent to the inherent barrier. The Infinite Sword System can even erode the real world, not to mention the existence of an inherent barrier.

The goal to be achieved is naturally to cut off BB's surveillance, so that it cannot intuitively know their conversation and understand their next plan.

Those surveillances are part of the inherent barrier constructed by Mooncell. They do not belong to the world of Infinite Blade Works and can only be observed from outside the world of Infinite Blade Works.

The feather robe began to twist the moment it hit the claw arms, and the reversed data burned on it, resisting the compression of space.

A few seconds were enough for the two people who were now flying towards Lip at an extremely terrifying speed.

Lip obviously did not expect that there would be something that could resist her compression, but even if she had reacted and wanted to attack the two people in front of her, it was too late now.

The tip of Jeanne's flag was pointing at Lip's forehead, and Shirou Emiya also quickly circled around her at this moment, with the cold blade in his hand against her neck.

"Is this my end?"

Lip looked at Jeanne, who would insert the flag into her forehead as long as she made any move, and cried out.

She put down her raised hand, as if she had completely given up struggling.

In the current situation, no matter how she struggled, it was useless. She was completely controlled.

"Go to the next step, Master——!"

Looking at the extremely sad expression of the girl, even Jeanne's heart was throbbing, but if she wanted to stop BB, she couldn't stay here. Both Jeanne and Shirou Emiya knew this very well.

Shirou Emiya looked at Lip, who had given up resistance, and pressed her neck with a cold reverse blade, and then looked straight at her.

"Senior——"

Looking at Shirou Emiya's eyes that did not waver at all, Lip's eyes became even sadder.

"Contact her deepest self——"

The words of Sesshōin Kiara rang in Shirou Emiya's mind at this moment. He looked into Lip's eyes, and then gently pressed his forehead against hers.

"Ah——Ah——Ah——"

Feeling that her deepest self was being invaded, Lip made a sound of pain and sorrow.

Lip's wailing continued to hit Emiya Shirou's body, just like facing the surging waves.

This was different from the place where he had land and even flowers in some places.

In this space, there is only the bottomless darkness, as if returning to the imaginary space where even the passage of time cannot be sensed.

The vague cry echoed here, and Lip, who fell in front of Shirou Emiya and kept crying, was the true self in the deepest part of his heart.

Chapter 721 Unable to Become an Ordinary Person

"Senior, are you going to bully me too?"

With a pitiful look, as if looking at those who bullied her in the past, Lip looked at Shirou Emiya who slowly stretched out his hand with some fear.

This is a kind of self-protection and distrust of others formed over a long period of time in a world where people are bullied by others.

Because even BB will be affected by her physique, and her attitude will be equally bad to her.

Shirou Emiya naturally cannot get rid of such an influence, and even said that before, it was only because he suddenly realized that he would do something that he hated so much that he would react from it.

Otherwise, facing Lip, Shirou Emiya would have the same attitude as those people.

Especially after receiving the Five Calming Contemplations, he could feel the urge to destroy Lip from deep inside his body.

Lip closed his eyes tightly, like a prisoner waiting to be executed, his body trembling with fear.

"Senior——"

The expected pain did not come from his body, Shirou Emiya just gently placed his hand on Lip's forehead.

"Why? Why treat me so gently, am I not your enemy?"

Lip's expression at this time was completely like she was about to cry, not that she had already cried. She didn't understand why she had been rejected and still had such expectations for herself.

But even if Shirou Emiya really treated her roughly, she would still love him.

"Are you afraid of my approach?"

Shirou Emiya did not answer Lip's question. Facing such an enemy, he could not use heavy hands on her. If she did not have those special powers, she would just be a rather cowardly and pitiful girl.

"No, no, because, because if I get touched, my body will become very painful and hot-"

"So, I'm very scared, afraid of being bullied. It's not my fault. It must be that everyone is too mean. It must be that everyone hates me-"

"But I'm more afraid of being alone, afraid of loneliness, so, so, senior, can you stay with me forever-"

Lip looked extremely aggrieved, like a child who didn't understand what he had done wrong. At the same time, he stretched out his hands, his eyes full of expectation.

However, Shirou Emiya quickly retreated behind him. At such a close distance, if he was hugged by Lip's hands, he would be crushed into pieces without exception.

This was different from before. At this moment, even if Lip had lost her fighting spirit and would not attack Shirou Emiya, she might still hug him, because in her eyes, her hands seemed to be no different from those of normal people.

At the moment when Shirou Emiya retreated, Lip's eyes became dim again.

"Why are you afraid of me? Why are you looking at me like a monster? I'm just an ordinary girl, I'm ordinary!"

"It's really too much! Too much! I thought you would definitely become my prince."

"I thought you wouldn't hate me! You wouldn't abandon me!"

She began to feel heartbroken. Everyone avoided her, everyone was afraid of her, everyone bullied her. She didn't understand what she had done wrong and why she had to be treated like this.

She was afraid of being bullied and lonely.

"Is that so?"

Shirou Emiya suddenly understood why Lip had become so paranoid.

The impact of this [masochistic constitution] was not absolute. To be precise, if Shirou Emiya could react, others could also react.

Because of this change in attitude, she might not have felt it at the time, but looking back afterwards, she could find that her attitude towards Lip was different from her normal attitude.

It's just that because of Lip's sensitive constitution and the sharp claws that reject the kindness of others, all this has become impossible.

Lip wants to contact others because she is afraid of loneliness and being alone, but others who want to express their kindness to her will be pushed away by her hands that can destroy everything.

On the other hand, because of her special constitution, she can't feel the other person's true feelings at all, which turns into pain, and finally because of her masochistic constitution, the communication becomes uncontrollable.

Shirou Emiya can't get so close to her at the risk of being crushed at any time, because she doesn't crush people actively, and it may even be unconscious behavior.

But if she really wants to communicate with others, Lip must realize that she is not an ordinary person, and her arms can easily destroy everything.

"Are you still ignoring your hands?"

Even if she really recognized her hands as normal people's hands, when releasing the treasure, her hands could fly out and easily tear apart anything in this world.

She could not deny that she had a power completely different from others. In fact, she should have noticed this a long time ago.

"What are you talking about? My hands are obviously a pair of ordinary girls'--"

Before she finished speaking, a very gorgeous looking sword appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand and was thrown towards Lip's position.

She subconsciously reached out to catch it, and then--

"Crack--!"

The very gorgeous looking sword was easily crushed by her and turned into magic power and dissipated in the air.

"Normal people don't have such terrifying power. You always know in your heart why those people don't want to get too close to you. You understand why everyone looks at you like a monster, but you don't want to accept it. You blame everything on others-"

"No, no, hate it, I don't want to hear such things!"

"I am very ordinary, just like an ordinary girl. I don't have monster arms. My arms are not strange!"

Lip stretched out her hands tremblingly and put them on her face as if she was hypnotizing herself.

"I am not a monster-!"

"Those people are just bad-hearted-"

Lip trembled and said the last sentence, but she could no longer deceive herself at this time. Shirou Emiya had given her a straightforward answer.

"Only after accepting your own shortcomings can you face others correctly-"

Looking at Lip half-sitting on the ground, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but speak.

Chapter 722 Please Live Well

"Senior, you like me, so you treat me so gently, tell me my problems, and teach me like this."

"No, I don't like you."

The burning love and burning emotions came towards Shirou Emiya like a flame.

But Shirou Emiya answered her with a decisive tone.

"Why, why can senior be so cruel!"

"Do you hate me?"

"I am willing to change myself, I will face my own strength, and I will try to accept all this, as long as I can make you like me-"

"So, so, please, please, senior, don't leave me, don't abandon me, don't hate me, don't, leave me!"

Lip's words were full of pleading. She begged Shirou Emiya to stay and begged Shirou Emiya not to leave her.

But, this is an impossible thing.

Whether it is the purpose they want to achieve or the door that will take Shirou Emiya away in a few days, it is destined that Shirou Emiya will not stay here.

"I will not stay here, stop BB, and rescue those who are trapped on the back of the moon by BB. These are what I and they will do next."

"I, I don't understand. I don't understand what the senior said at all. It is clear that if I don't go out from here, I will be safe. It is clear that I will be happy if I stay with you all the time-"

"Why do you say such willful words, senior? Don't you want everyone to be happy? Why can't I be happy-"

"Why would the senior do such a contradictory behavior? I, I don't understand! I love you so much-"

Looking at Shirou Emiya who did not waver in the face of him, Lip's tone became more flustered.

"Happiness is not blind, and I can't make everyone happy. I just do my best to do this."

This is Shirou Emiya's pursuit, and this is what Shirou Emiya wants to do.

It was as if he wanted to save everyone, but in reality, even if Shirou Emiya gave everything he had, he was unable to save everyone.
