The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

If he knew in advance that the school girl who took care of her carelessly would end up like this, Shirou Emiya would say nothing——

... Well, with his personality, he must still come to help.

So, the outcome was doomed the moment he discovered what Sakura had lost.

This is an inevitable tragic ending.

Emiya Shirou didn't think of going to someone else's house on purpose at first.

The thing Sakura accidentally lost was picked up after school on Friday, after which there will be a two-day weekend vacation, if you wait until next Monday to find yourself and return in person, I don't know if it will be too late.

He didn't think too much about it, he just felt that if it was delayed for two days, Matou-senior who couldn't find the textbooks might be very anxious.

Just this morning, Shirou Emiya was planning to go out and go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables for dinner.

When he walked to the entrance, the note left by his busy elder brother last night hadn't been torn off yet, and it came into view again.

I saw that it said:

[Still working overtime today!The money is placed on the coffee table and pressed with a cup, Shirou, you can take it and buy something you like.By the way, if you have time, send back the book of the girl you mentioned, don't make people too anxious.I've heard people say that her home seems to be in xxxx. 】

From the fact that he didn't know anyone, was busy working overtime in the dark, and had time to help find out the address of Matou's house, it can be seen that Emiya Shirou's unrelated elder brother, like his younger brother, is an extremely warm-hearted and good person.

It can be said that Emiya Shiro has grown into the good boy who is willing to help others, and his brother has a lot of credit.

Okay, isn't it just a walk, of course no problem.

So the boy was reminded, turned back and took the school girl's textbook, and planned to drop by after shopping for groceries.

The relationship between him and Matou-senior can't be said to be very familiar, but it's not too estranged, so they should be regarded as friends.The club that Sakura joined after school was recommended by Emiya Shiro after listening to her preferences.

It really isn't good to have a hasty visit without prior notice given the relationship of friends who are a little closer than ordinary juniors and juniors.

That's why Emiya Shirou didn't think about going to the door, he just planned to ring the doorbell at the door, hand over the textbook to Sakura or to Sakura's family, and leave safely with the bag...

"——ho."

As soon as he pressed the "doorbell", the red-haired boy was suddenly startled by a sudden sound, and couldn't help but take half a step back.

It seems a little strange.

He felt that when he pressed the doorbell, the rusty iron gates in front of him should not be so far away from him.

How could it seem that in an instant, there was a wonderful change in front of him: the door and the surrounding dim environment moved back a little?

Emiya Shiro: "..."

Until this moment, he was still calm, telling himself that it was all right, probably an illusion.

Matou-senpai's house is like a castle hidden deep in the dense forest, with a rather large courtyard, but it feels a bit cold, as if nothing is happening... No, it's really a shame to have such thoughts in front of the host's house It's so rude.

"Sorry! Well, I'm Sakura's senior... and her friend. My name is Emiya Shirou, may I ask—"

He directly acquiesced that the inexplicable and somewhat yin and yang "hoo" came from a member of the Jiantong family. The voice was a bit sharp, and it might be an elderly grandma...

"Grandma has a leg!"

Emiya Shiro: "Huh!"

He didn't know how to let his heart out, and he was scolded bloody by that shrill voice in the next second.

"Are you a fool? Well, here comes another pig. If my uncle is not calm, he will be pissed to death by these fools sooner or later."

"Is it... grandpa!"

Emiya Shiro was shocked, and felt deeply sorry that he had wrongly and superficially judged the gender of the "old man" just because of his sharp voice.

"No, I'm very sorry! Grandpa, I didn't hear clearly..."

"Your grandpa is a hammer!"

Emiya Shiro: "?!"

How is this such a huge shock that hits the hearts of young people? Are there still old people who are not old grandmas or old grandpas?

oh.He seems to have realized that there are old people in this world who really don't mind being called "old". When he comes up, he calls it like this. It seems to be polite, but in fact it is very disrespectful to the elders.

Emiya Shirou once again felt ashamed of his superficiality and disrespect. After all, he was a good boy who didn't want to offend his elders at all.

Here, the third change came: "Grandpa, are you from Sakura's family? I'm here to pay back..."

"Grandpa" who has not shown his figure until now: "..."

"It's appeared! A stupid human being who is more annoying than a stupid priest and a stupid pharaoh combined! Your kid's face has been forced to look at my uncle countless times. Why did you come here? Do you want to die!"

Emiya Shiro: "!"

Wait, did he say the wrong thing again?But according to normal logic, he was not wrong.

And what's with this horrible attitude?Huh?He and this "grandfather" have met many times?

Death—this is not the first time I came to the door, but a terrible word appeared in front of me!

This strange development confused the red-haired boy who was just a normal person, almost thinking that he had found the wrong door.

……

By the way, the door?

Swish!

Emiya Shirou just blinked, and when his vision was clearer, the scene in front of him changed inexplicably.

The gloomy buildings that were covered by the greenery that hadn't been pruned for many years seemed to be lit with thousands of neon lights in an instant, almost blinding the eyes of the red-haired boy before he could move away.

It’s really——It’s so bright that it makes people blind!

The switch between darkness and bright light is instantaneous, and the same is true for other scenery that originally caught the eye.

The rusty iron fence around the periphery disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if it had been melted by the golden gravel that would drown the pitch-black land in the blink of an eye, and could no longer be dug out.

"...?!"

Emiya Shirou took the last half step back in astonishment, but there was a sudden void under his right foot, and he almost couldn't maintain his balance, so he fell down the steps embarrassingly...

Wait, steps? ? ?

The red-haired boy turned his head abruptly, his expression froze.

He didn't know when he ran to a long staircase that was at least a hundred steps high.

The texture of the stone ladder itself looks very expensive, coupled with the gold edge inlaid on the outside, there is a vague light flowing on the surface.

Emiya Shirou was stunned for a long time, mistakenly thinking that what he was stepping on was a road to the sky specially built for the most honorable master.

But no, although what I have seen so far is already very strange, but the strangest and most unbearable desire to complain is clearly——

"Gold, pyramid? Why is it a pyramid?!"

This is Japan, how could a golden pyramid suddenly appear!

In broad daylight, it is so flashing that people can't see the road clearly!

Emiya Shirou didn't know that there was another girl who had the same reaction as him and asked the same sonorous question not long after.

That's right, as long as people encounter such strange things that can be called psychedelic, they will not panic.

The situation of Emiya Shiro is a little more complicated.

The owner, who only heard his voice but not his own voice before, made a strange noise again when he almost fell down the steps:

"Although it's easier to drive this little devil away, but—hmph, hoh, my uncle won't let the little girl find out so easily."

This voice, of course, came from the mouth of She Zhang who just passed by the door.

After being forced to help solve the huge difficulty that Tahir almost disappeared completely, the Snake Staff didn't know what he had figured out, or he completely lost interest in trying to entrap fools. It has been very peaceful recently.

It has nothing to do all day, and is too lazy to pay attention to what the idiots are going to do. 90.00% of its energy is focused on Sakura.

First of all don't get me wrong.

From beginning to end, Snake Staff has no good impression of human beings, and it is naturally the same for human girls.

It (claims) it just uses the little girl as a new tool to pass the time, and uses all the thought and energy used to conspire in the past to instigate (cross out) educate human girls to grow up healthily (it's strange if they can be healthy).

The red-haired kid who looks like a passer-by is the key object of attention that Snake Zhang caught at the first time with his keen insight when he was engaged in conspiracy.

There is no other reason.

Just because She Zhang discovered that Sakura seemed to care a little more about the red-haired kid than other people.

The feeling is a bit ethereal, but certainly real.

It's not a casual way of teasing a little animal that you like, but you don't want to let it go without grasping it. It's just loosely covered—but it's a delicate place like the neck, which is extremely dangerous. .

The Snake Staff felt a bit unfit: "..."

This is not a question of whether some kind of relationship is dangerous or not, it is not a human being, and it is not an object to be harmed-what, has it been tacitly agreed so early that someone will be miserably harmed?

I also know that She Zhang will not show sympathy for that poor man.

Its sense of crisis just comes from the iron rule that "as long as it is a human being, it will definitely have certain emotions for human beings other than itself", even the little girl I watched growing up can't escape.

Regardless of what kind of so-called "certain emotion" belongs to.

There is a priest who has been entangled with a certain pharaoh for thousands of years—the key lies in the precedent of feelings that Snake Zhang will never understand.

It seems to be suffering from "neurasthenic anxiety disorder deeply persecuted by human emotions". When talking with a girl who is about to go on a road of no return, he is really nervous.

"Sakura! You can't imitate those two idiots!"

Snake Stick's teeth itch when he said it: "Human beings who are devoured by desire and selfishness, without exception, all end in misery. The two you saw are living examples!"

Why can't human beings learn from cold-blooded animals and only love "self" forever!

I don't understand, it's hard to empathize with Snake Stick.

And it always wants to see human beings repeat the same mistakes one by one. There are humans like Tahir who are extremely smart and stupid like this, and there are also humans like Sakura whose will has been fixed since a long time ago, and the decision is not easy. changed human beings.

"I understand what Mr. Snake Zhang means. You're thinking too far. At least for now, my senior... um."

Sakura thought about it seriously, and confirmed that she really thought so.

"I just think, from a certain level - the senior is really powerful. In that field, he is the most powerful man I have ever seen."

"What—could it be stronger than that pharaoh in your family?"

"Well, although I'm a little sorry for my father, I must admit that at least in the field I mentioned, the senior is better than anyone I have met."

Snake Staff: "Damn!"

What are you doing, what a terrific thing Sakura said!

If it hadn't been able to get along with the idiot duo, it would have been so shocked that it rushed into the temple and yelled at those two guys:

——Look, I will know it! ! !

Thinking that a certain man is the strongest, especially stronger than the father he admires.

This is a more dangerous signal, idiots!

Even Snake Zhang knows that if Sakura is determined to complete the first thing among the ten things that adolescent girls must do, then it will be over, it will be terrible!

What?Oh, don't ask how it can also produce a sense of collapse, it doesn't!One.dot.nor.none!It has been said that human beings are not as troublesome as human beings, okay?

It was just predicted in advance, if Sakura was allowed to continue to follow her own steps, some two idiot old fathers would definitely collapse.

Not only would it break down, but something very, very, very scary might happen along with it.

I have to report the news, bah, I should discuss the plan with those two guys in advance.

Even the Serpent Staff, which has survived for thousands of years in the true sense, is the first time it has faced such a miracle that has touched the terrifying realm.

It wants to temporarily put aside the barrier between Tahir and the two of them again, and reach an unprecedented first joint effort to jointly fight against foreign enemies——

shit!

Snake stick: "Harhahahahahahahahaha is too naive, do you think the uncle would say so! I didn't have to see the two fools that finally found the expression of the daughter running away from other fools, hahahahahahahaha! "

Again.

This is unsurprisingly routine.

The security of the snake stick is only compared with the past, and it is barely set off.

It doesn't matter even if I feel slightly uncomfortable because of this, Snake Zhang doesn't admit that I will be unhappy at all-it just stubbornly wants to drag the idiot duo to die together... Bah!I said it all, it was the one watching those two idiots collapse on the spot, it was just watching the excitement!

...that's it anyway after skipping the unimportant details.

The barrier surrounding the pharaoh's new palace touched a small corner, and Emiya Shirou was able to break in in a daze, all because of the deliberate manipulation of the snake stick.

"Aren't you looking for Sakura? Go in, don't worry about finding the way, there will be a sphinx to pick you up. Hey, it's useless to run away, the moment you step here, this palace The master will know that your kid is coming!"

Emiya Shiro (panic): "Well, I really just came to pay back..."

"Roar--"

In the next second, the panic sublimated into panic that penetrated the soul.

The red-haired boy turned his head back urgently, and this time, he met the awe-inspiring copper bell with big eyes.

From the sky above the pyramids that are close at hand, several giant sphinxes swooped down miraculously.

The giant beast opened its sharp fangs, and its already worrying countenance suddenly became twice as ferocious. It seemed that the bloody mouth was rushing to swallow Shirou Emiya in one gulp.

"—Wow!"

Emiya Shirou flew up.

But still, instead of flying backwards from a place as high as a hundred steps, it first made a high throw, and then fell, drawing an extremely beautiful arc.

That is, the dizziness of the slamming slam on the back of the Sphinx queen is not perfect.

This is, the Matou family's hospitality etiquette——?

The dizzy teenager pondered over this question dully.

Xuemei’s family is really rich, not only can they afford to live in a pyramid, but they can also afford to raise such big sphinxes...

Ah, it seems that even the super rich can't keep a Sphinx.

Because there is no Sphinx in this world at all.

"...Am I dreaming?"

Emiya Shiro began to wonder if he didn't sleep well last night, which caused the dream to be too long, which has continued until now.

Otherwise, how could he see the gloomy mansion transforming into a pyramid in seconds, flying on top of the winged sphinx at this very moment.

Emiya Shiro (in a trance): "Haha, hahaha."

"According to this order, the next step is not to go directly to the pyramid, see the mummy of the Egyptian pharaoh..."

He really didn't expect that he had the talent of crow's mouth.

Because it didn't take long for this random speculation to become a prophecy.

"—Bow down and bow down."

In a trance, at some point, the red-haired boy who was sent to the flat ground by the Sphinx queen with all the sphinxes heard a solemn voice that seemed to come from the sky.

So majestic, so noble, with a sense of oppression that makes people subconsciously bow their heads, as if they really came to the feet of a god.

And the unattainable god looked down at him from an unattainable position, and said, "It's lucky for you to make an exception and get the chance to meet the god king."

Before Emiya Shirou could react, he was again dazzled by the radiance that shone a hundred times brighter than the surface of the pyramid outside.

In the real temple, you can see the steps that reach the sky similar to the steps outside the pyramid, and the real god king sitting on the throne at the end of the sky.

Next to the God King and his throne, there seemed to be a person standing.

But it happened to be that place where the light was the brightest, and the boy below was affected by it, and was forced to look away before he could see clearly, and had to squint his eyes.

Luckily the sound was still audible.

In addition to the solemn echo that rang out in the temple at the beginning, another voice belonged to another person sounded immediately: "Red-haired boy, because you are indeed ignorant and ignorant, I forgive you for not bowing your head before the throne as a special case. However, Tell me the real purpose of your coming here."

Compared with the former, this person's voice is much softer.

But the feeling is completely different. The former is full of majesty in every word, while the latter is extremely indifferent in tone and voice. With such indifference that seems to be able to clear people's hearts, the listeners dare not make mistakes.

"..."

Emiya Shirou was shocked again.

The boy could not help but follow the cold voice's inquiry again, and began a deep self-examination, thinking about what he was here for.

Yes.

What is he here for?

Wasn't he...wasn't he just dropping by to return the things?

That's right.

Although saying that might spoil the solemn and majestic atmosphere of the scene, the truth is——

In the bag that Emiya Shirou held tightly in his hand, there were still vegetables he bought from the supermarket.

After a series of shocking ups and downs, the vegetable leaves that were poking out from the edge of the bag in high spirits have now shriveled back, and Wei Gong's family's dinner today was almost ruined.

If you want to blame it, you can blame those two incredible big men who are still looking at him from a high place at this time.

The innocent boy's stray train of thought managed to return to the right track under his calm thinking, and then he was forced to stray again immediately.

"You, your name—that's all, the name of a mortal is not important to Yu. How you came from—forget it, such insignificant details are not important, under the brilliance of the sun, whether the light of rice grains is brighter or weaker, There is no real difference.”

"Uh, that, I'm here to pay back..."

"A lightless man who dares to look Pharaoh in the eye!"

Emiya Shiro: "C-Call me!"

"You are not allowed to say a single word of unnecessary words, you just need to answer Yu's questions honestly!"

Emiya Shirou: "Yes, yes?!"

"What an arrogant mortal who tried to trespass on Yu's temple without Yu being informed at all! If necessary, this guy could be bombarded by the solar ship right now, right, Yu's High Priest?"

"That is true, but it is not necessary. We only need to ask one question, my lord."

Innocent boy: "Ah..."

Although he didn't understand what was going on at all, he probably understood that the master of the majestic voice was very angry, but the master of the cold voice seemed to be defending him who was still in a daze.

Emiya Shirou was very moved in his heart, and felt a little good for this life...

"Who allowed you to have a good impression of Princess Yu that shouldn't exist?"

Emiya Shiro: "..."

What priest and what princess?

Well, though, this man with a changing face is really annoying.

The indifferent person who was mentioned twice in a row: "Cough."

He coughed calmly next to the throne, signaling to someone who was once again possessive, not to forget the topic.

Facts have proved that this cough is really effective.

Emiya Shirou was no longer embarrassed by tricks, and finally heard the most serious questioning.

Moreover, it is so straightforward that even an emotionally insensitive teenager can understand:

"What is your relationship with Yu's beloved daughter!"

Emiya Shiro: "...Huh?"

"Wait, Father!"

At a critical moment, a key person appeared, turning the situation around abruptly.

Sakura came in with her sister and the heroic spirit attached to her: "Senior is also my guest, because I just met on the road, and I haven't had time to tell you."

"Really—"

For the first time in ten years, the beloved daughter of the pharaoh showed a slight complaint to her respectful and beloved father: "Don't make such jokes on seniors, fathers and lords!"

"........."

--really.

- Burn/bury this kid before he 'grows'.

The old fathers thought in unison.

I couldn't see it at all, when I suddenly found out that a boy who seemed to have a good relationship with his beloved daughter came to the door ten minutes ago.

One of them lost their bold laughter on the spot, and the other suddenly missed, and after many years, they blew up the kitchen hidden in the palace.

The author has something to say: Here, Shirou’s brother is the protagonist of the series next door. Readers who have never read Saisia ​​can ignore him

After moving, the cold actually got worse. I can’t do it anymore. After finishing writing, I quickly sent it and lay down... Do you want to comment tomorrow!
