[Comprehensive] The Bankruptcy Routine of a Retired Savior

This is a torrent extending from the darkness and surging into the darkness.

Except for the clear space where she stood, the surrounding area was covered with mist, filled with the shadows of all kinds of ghosts, and occasionally there was the cry of an unknown beast and an inexplicable sneer from afar.

She sat on the ground calmly, sitting on the bank of the roaring river, her long gray hair winding out like another river.

wow-

The sound of the water became louder, and then, the voices of people came from behind the mist.

"Look at her eyes..."

"It's a demon!"

"It must be a demon..."

"...Why is she with us?"

"Why didn't Master Onmyoji kill her?"

"It's horrible...it's disgusting..."

"...Help! Help!! She...she ruined our house again!!"

"Those eyes—"

The chaotic and chaotic voices stopped abruptly at a certain moment, and then broke out suddenly.

"Why don't you die?!"

"Why don't you die?!"

"Why don't you die?!"

In this layer upon layer of curses, a thin girl was pushed out of the mist in front of her and fell into this square inch.

"Don't...no...I'm not...not a monster...not..."

The young child was in tears, as if she was arguing with someone, but in the end, she could only be forced back by the invisible voice.

"No...no...I didn't mean to...I...I..."

Suddenly, a hand stretched out and pushed her heavily into the river.

"Pfft!"

At this moment, the sound of falling water was not loud enough, but it seemed to shake the entire space.

The fog subsided, only the sound of the river grew louder.

She looked down at the girl who fell into the water, but what emerged from the bottom of the river was her own face.

"Since... humans don't accept me..."

Amidst the sound of the torrent, a voice of resentment came faintly, shaking in the mist.

"Then I also...don't accept everything about humans!"

……

The turbulent river and the fog calmed down.

Qiyin stood up slowly, her fingertips pierced through the physical shell again, and pulled out a small scale from the heart.

This time, the balance that appeared in front of her was no longer balanced, but one end was sinking and the other was up.

"I've come to pay... my debt."

As she muttered, she simply gouged out her left eye and threw it at one end of the balance.

The scales are a little more balanced.

She snorted and said, "What a big appetite, you bastard. This is a distorted magic eye with both clairvoyance and clairvoyance. Isn't it enough?"

Balance did not answer.

Or maybe this is just a matter of course, after all, it was she who took advantage of being able to exchange a pair of magic eyes for the result she wanted.

So she stopped being wordy, simply gouged out her right eye, and continued to press it.

At this time, she has no vision.

But she knew that the debt had been repaid this time, because at this time the balance had turned into a streamer, returned to her body, and settled down.

At this moment, the weak voice sounded again, "Why... do such a thing... We still have a long time to pay back..."

Although it is a balance of equivalent exchange, as the owner of the balance, she can choose to overdraw and then spend the rest of her life to pay back slowly.

But Qiyin shook her head: "No, we don't have time."

They don't have time anymore, because what will appear in front of them next moment is the oath.

——Qiyin once swore: since human beings do not accept her, she will also abandon everything she once was as a human being!

However, many years later, for a wish that they wanted to achieve no matter what, the separated two joined together again and walked into their predestined destiny.

Now, fate has come to an end, so the power of the oath reappeared, reminding Qiyin to separate the two that should not overlap again.This is an agreement that must be fulfilled, and when this agreement is fulfilled again, Qiyin and Sawadayin will be separated again, and at that time, the debt of nearly three trillion yuan will be borne by the human being Sawadayin...

But human beings can hardly afford such a debt.Even if "Sawada Yin" is also herself, even if "Sawada Yin" doesn't mind, Qiyin is not willing.

So she gouged out her own eyes and paid the debt.

——It doesn't matter, it's just losing a pair of eyes, which is worth it for the result she wants to achieve.

Then, she has nothing to regret.

Thinking of this, she laughed and walked towards the river.

This time, there was no shoving or resentment from anyone.It was she who took the initiative to walk towards her own destiny.

The icy river water and the suffocating and hopeless feeling of being submerged surged up again.

First the toes, then the calves, and then the waist.

When the frightening feeling of being oppressed by the water flow came again, no matter how many years she could never forget, she heard that voice... no, it was the weak cry of "myself".

"Stop...stop! Can't we keep going? Do we have to separate again?!"

"Yes, definitely. Because this is the agreement." She said.

"But, but if we want to talk about an agreement, we also have an agreement!" The voice trembled, "We have an agreement to protect Mom, Dad and Xiaogang. If you leave, I can't do it! You are my All the courage and strength, what would I do if you were gone?!"

If the seventh tone is courage, strength, anger, and hatred; then Sawada tone is fear, weakness, gentleness, and forgiveness.

When they were separated again, how could Sawada Yin, who had taken away all her strength and courage, be able to protect others?How to achieve the wish?

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Qiyin comforted, "I will be back."

Although, it may take a long, long time, a long, long way to go, and many, many things to go through... But as long as the body of the oath is always in harmony, as long as their agreement is still being fulfilled, then She will definitely come back with fate.

--must!

The voice finally cried, and said: "But I can't bear you...Why do you have to do such a thing? Why do you have to take this road?"

At this time, the cold river water had reached her neck, but she laughed.

"Because...important people are worthy of us...worthy of me, doing anything for them!"

Whether it's the parents and Kozuna she foresaw when she was Sawada On, or the... Shirou she met when she was Seven Sound.

However, if parents and Kotsuna are her important family members, then who is Shirou to her?

friend?

Yes.

family?

of course.

— but not only that.

Shirou... is an important person.It is the person she likes, the person she cares about the most, the person she has always wanted to see, and even the person she is willing to break the oath for him.

So, such a person... who is it?

To her, who is Emiya Shirou?

The water flowed through the mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation and being stripped from the body surged, but Qiyin became more and more enthralled.

——You, who exactly do you want to see from me?

——The day you wake up, you will usher in your end.

——Because, this is your love!

At this moment, Kuroro's sarcasm sounded in her ears inappropriately.

She was a little confused, but also a little enlightened.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

For, to a demon who is used to separation—whether from others or from himself—many things need not be understood too well.

So be it.

The river ran overhead.

A bone-chilling cold enveloped her.

But at the moment when she completely sank into the water, she heard someone sigh like this.

"Fool."

It was a familiar voice, a familiar tone.

Then a hand reached into the icy torrent and caught her.

"Shi...Shirou?!"

In that river of mist and fate, someone who shouldn't be here broke in and pulled her out.

"Have I already said that? The most important thing is yourself. No matter what, you have to take care of yourself first... Can't you listen to others a little bit?"

Amid the familiar complaints, she left the bone-chilling cold, left the river, and interrupted the process of separating herself.

She didn't understand why, let alone why he was standing here.

The warm cloak fell on her shoulders, wrapping her like a drowned chicken.

Her mind was blank, only instinct was left, and she immediately covered her eyes to prevent the hollow depression from being exposed.

"You...you...how do you—" She stammered a little.

She couldn't see the man's face, couldn't see his current appearance, but she could still feel the familiar sight falling on her body, which made her tremble and shrink back.

"You... how... are you here, Shirou?!" She said weakly.

"Sure enough." The person on the opposite side sighed, "I was wondering if I might have made a mistake, but you really didn't intend to come to me, nor did you intend to let me come to you, did you? "

Seventh tone, Sawada tone, was speechless.

After a long time, she finally spoke and said softly, "No..."

"It's not... I don't want to see Shirou... It's just that I... can't..."

Even though the demon named Qiyin can go to various worlds, she can't stay in his world, and can't search for his world... Looking back now after the end of fate, she finally found that every time she and him In fact, the meeting with each other came to him under the influence of the power of the oath.

But in the final encounter, she handed over the ability to sever the contract to the young Emiya.

The so-called ability to sever a contract cuts off all the contracts on the user—that is, the heroic spirit Emiya—whether it is a contract that should not exist, or an agreement made on his own initiative... When this ability is activated , they were cut off together.

In other words, from now on, without the promise as a fetter, she will no longer be able to enter his world, and it is impossible for him to find her.

Their fate, after going through their fate, has finally come to an end...

"I like Shirou very much!" The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, "But I can't help it! If I could, how could I not want to be with Shirou! Shirou is an idiot! Idiot!!"

The owner who was beaten up by Mizi was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, let's not discuss the matter of you buying me and throwing me away—"

"What, what?! What did you buy?! What did you throw away?! Shirou, what nonsense!" She raised her voice, "I never did such a thing!!"

She just saw the contract that shouldn't exist in him and cut it off for him. This... what is this "buying it"? !

It makes people feel blushed when they hear it, okay? !

"Anyway, it's not important anymore." The owner said calmly.

"This is very important!!"

"No, the important thing now is, Yin, what are you doing?" He said in a deep voice, "What happened to your eyes?"

Sawada was speechless.

So he too fell silent.

In the boundless darkness, Sawada Yin, who covered her eyes with her hand, felt a warm hand land on the back of her hand, carefully, as if touching a snowflake.

The tip of her nose was sour, and she suddenly felt sad and wronged that she didn't have before.

"Don't look..." She said in a muffled voice, complaining coquettishly, "It's so ugly!"

She thought that the guy in front of her would mock her, tell her something like "you shouldn't do such a reckless thing since you know it", or blame her for always being so incapable of taking care of herself... But in the end, the guy in front of her She didn't say anything, only a warm hand fell on her cheek and brushed gently.

"Yin." He came closer again, his voice was rare and gentle, "Why did you do such a thing?"

His voice was gentle, completely different from his usual seriousness and indifference, which made her flustered.

He was very close, not only exceeding the usual distance between heroic spirits and demons, but even closer than when he was Emiya Shirou.

"You... Shirou, what are you talking about..." She whispered.

"You know."

"..."

She was silent, not daring to think deeply about the answer to this question.

So he sighed again, "You——do you like me that much?"

At this moment, she felt her heartbeat speed up suddenly.

——Obviously she has said so many times "I like Shirou the most", and she never felt anything wrong when she said "like", but when this "like" is said from the other party's mouth, the meaning seems to change very different.

She bit her lower lip, and her face was inexplicably hot.

So he paused, "Okay." He said, "I see."

——What did this guy understand?

She was still confused, but he had already stepped forward again, and then, the warm touch on the back of her hand covering her eyes was about to leave.

???

!!!

wait wait wait? !

This guy... just...

just--? ! !

Her mind was so confused that she could almost cook porridge.

But the guy on the other side who seemed to have done something very disrespectful was still calm and serious.

"bring it on."

There was a gentle smile in his voice that she couldn't refuse.

"I'll take you away."

"...but...but..." Even though his head was in a mess, Sawada Yin still couldn't help turning his head and "looking" in the direction of the river, hesitating in his heart.

But this time, this good-natured guy who had always been bullied in front of her appeared extraordinarily tough.

"No but—just follow me!"

He could not refuse to pull Sawada Yin out of the dark torrent and out of the fog.

Sawada Yin was at a loss, followed him a little staggeringly, and came to the world.

She felt a slight sting when the first rays of sunlight hit her.Then, the river-like long hair broke off, the sharp horns faded, and the features belonging to monsters disappeared in her body one by one, and even the originally empty eye sockets grew human eyes.

At this moment, there is no difference between the demon Qiyin and the human Sawada Yin.

In the blurred vision of the newborn, Sawada Yin opened his eyes, looked at the back of the front against the light, and suddenly laughed.

……

A long time ago, the young Qiyin swore that since humans did not accept her, she would also abandon everything she had been a human being.

After a long, long time, a human grabbed her, who was about to make the same mistakes again, and brought her back to the world.

……

"Shirou..."

"Ok?"

"I like Shirou the most!"

"……Fool."
