"It's a little late, I have to go back."

Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, the hour hand was already pointing to the Roman numeral 8. Matou Sakura lowered her head and said.

The dining room and kitchen had already been cleaned up. At this moment, the three people in the Emiya family, Matou Sakura, and Wei Shirou Miya and Artoria were both in the living room, watching TV.

Artoria was immersed in the animal world program on the TV, watching the lioness chasing a hyena, but

Shirou Emiya's mind was not at all. Above, he saw the purple-haired girl looking up at the wall clock and getting up. He also got up.

"Sakura, let me give it to you."Matou Sakura didn't speak, but just nodded.

Seeing both of them standing up, Artoria also stood up, and I should do the same.

Emiya Shirou understood Artoria's intention of protecting him, and nodded.

Change. After putting on their coats, the three of them left Emiya's house together.

The chill of the winter night made Emiya Shirou couldn't help but tighten the scarf around his neck.

"It's really cold. It's probably going to snow soon."

"Is it snowing? Is it snowing heavily here?"Artoria took over the conversation and asked

"It's quite heavy, and the first snow can cover the entire city overnight. No matter how big the situation is, the city government will organize sanitation to clear the roads before dawn."

"That's really troublesome...."

Matou Sakura did not participate in the conversation between the two beside her. She just lowered her head and walked silently holding her schoolbag with both hands.

"Speaking of which, during the winter vacation, we can go to the hot springs together. I haven’t been to a hot spring for a long time. The last time was probably three or four years ago."

They tried their best to liven up the atmosphere, but the atmosphere was still as cold as a winter night. Gradually, Emiya Shirou also closed his mouth and didn't know what to say.

The three of them passed by a park.

Suddenly there was a sound in the park. There was a groan.

The moan attracted the attention of the three people, and even Matou Sakura turned his attention to the place where the sound came from. He was curled up in tattered black clothes. It was not very thick.

Shirou was the first to stop in the cold wind of winter.

It was his ideal and wish to help others.

"How are you?"Shirou walked towards the huddled figure and asked tentatively.

"not too good...."

With a trembling and hoarse voice, the figure wailed

"Let me contact the police for you...."

Due to municipal policies, there are not many homeless people in Fuyuki City. The city has specialized agencies for rescue.

In winter, a homeless man without any belongings might freeze to death in the park.

"No need to contact the police...I was expelled and could only wander."The homeless man said humbly

"how come..."

Such words made Shirou Emiya take out his mobile phone and press the button.

"If this kind of thing really happens and the detention center treats you like this, I will help you report it."

"Speaking of which, kid, you might as well help me with some money"

"I'm very thirsty, I'm very hungry, and I want money to buy some food."

There was a strong pleading in that voice, which made Shirou Emiya take out his wallet after hesitation. He hesitated because he felt that just paying money to support could not solve the other party's predicament.

Although every month Kazama Yu would go to Fujimura Taiga transferred a large amount of living expenses to support Emiya Shirou and the Emiya family's matinee expenses.

However, Emiya Shirou would still use his free time to do some work, and he still had a small amount of savings in his hands.

"Is this enough?"

He went out just to see Sakura off. Shirou Emiya didn't bring his wallet. He took out a thousand-yen bill from his pocket.

The tramp immediately stretched out his hand and took the bill directly from Shirou Emiya's hand.

Like this The rude behavior made those who also felt sympathy for the homeless people widen their eyes, but that was not all.

"More, I want more"

"The clothes you are wearing are so nice and they look very warm. Can you give them to me?"

"But it seems that’s not enough, I want more!"

"I want to realize my ideal that I am never willing to give up...."

Emiya Shirou's eyes widened.

"I really want to have something like a regret medicine in the world. I want to go back to the past and change some of my past choices."

Artoria's body was startled.

"I want a place to return to, I want the extremely warm sun to warm only me."

Mato Sakura raised her head.

The homeless man opened his arms, and the five fingers that came out seemed to want to ask for everything in the world, and then he embraced them all in his arms.

"This is not too much, after all, it is everyone's nature to want something. Even to plunder. This is the only thing that even God cannot avoid"

"That was not because the ancestors ate the forbidden fruit, but when the ancestors heard the snake's words, it represented the original sin that was destined to exist."

While the tramp was dancing, the three of them saw the face of the tramp clearly.

Under the tattered hood was a pale face that had lost all its color. He had an unshaven beard and looked to be around thirty or forty years old. He was an Oriental. Face.

His eyes were sunken and he looked a little nervous, and now he was even more hysterical, as if he was crazy.

But those eyes were frightening, and they were filled with a kind of greed that could not be overcome. That kind of greed was already a choice. He wanted to take away everything from the person he saw, including his property and his life.

The moment they saw his true appearance, the three of them couldn't help feeling an instinctive disgust. The same was true for Emiya Shirou, who wanted to help others.

The homeless man's words and his characteristics made all three of them aware of something strange.

"Who are you?"

Artoria stopped in front of Emiya Shirou and Matou Sakura.

Her hands were holding it in vain, but she had actually grasped the holy sword.

"Good thing, this is the top treasure in the world."

The homeless man seemed to have seen the sword in Artoria's hand and recognized it at the same time.

This reaction almost confirmed the fact that the other party was related to the Holy Grail War, or in other words, he had not yet appeared. A homeless man who seemed to be a servant climbed up from the ground and walked towards Artoria.

But facing the approaching homeless man, Artoria took a step back. This guy gave her a very strange feeling, a feeling that she had never felt before.

It was obviously not 'dangerous', but her intuition told Artoria that she could not attack him. He could only retreat and defend himself, but this weird guy with evil intentions stopped.

"never mind..."

He said, and then left the park under the gaze of the three people.
