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

…In a dense forest, two girls in different clothes were attacking a young boy. Their flickering figures regrouped and finally two figures, one black and one purple, rushed towards the boy in the middle.

The young man raised his mouth corners in response, and without looking at the two people who attacked him, he raised his slightly lowered head instantly, and the blood-red pupil with complicated evil patterns in his right eye suddenly opened, and purple flames surrounded his body.

"Susanoh!"

The purple skeleton was put on the boy's body, and two giant purple hands grabbed the two people who attacked him. Then the dark purple body gradually became fuller, and it grew until it covered the sky and the sun...

"Hey! That's too foul!"

In the huge purple-black palm, Altria, with a white-gold hair, shouted in dissatisfaction.

Right now, she is not even as big as this guy's palm, but the upper body alone is over 50 meters tall. Unless you use your treasure, you can't hit that guy...

Medusa in the other hand struggled for a while, but when she realized that she couldn't get free with her own strength, she simply gave up and lay limply in the palm of his hand. Shinji naturally wouldn't kill her.

The giant body gradually turned into magical fragments and scattered. The two heroes were also freed from their restraints. Shinji smiled and walked out from the center where the giant was just now...

"It seems that the Red Dragon Knight's training is not yet up to par!"

"You bastard, I just didn't use my treasure because of its great destructive power, otherwise I would kill you in a second!"

"Okay...Okay, whatever you say, King."

Saber felt like she had punched cotton. She knew she couldn't win the argument with Shinji, so she could only sulk alone. She puffed up her cheeks and turned her head to the side, which made Shinji laugh.

Now it has been a year since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War. The biggest change is that the pair of Sharingan in the black mud were finally stimulated to Mangekyō a month ago. After the anticipated recovery period, Shinji removed the gauze on his eyes and welcomed the new power!

So recently he has been happily training with the Heroic Spirits, and he has almost never lost. However, that is when they do not use their Noble Phantasms. After all, the finally settled Fuyuki City cannot withstand a fight...

Shinji's hair grew longer this year. His originally semi-long hair had turned into really long hair, with his bangs parted in the middle. However, the left side was longer, covering his left eye which had not yet recovered.

The long purple hair on the back of his head has covered his neck and is almost level with his shoulders. I don't know if it's because he uses the Sharingan too much or the Uchiha genes can't suppress it, but his hair always sticks out at corners... Although it looks a bit messy, it can't be permed back.

"I'm hungry...I want to eat dinner!"

Shinji looked at the sky and it was indeed getting late...

"Then let's go back. Sakura seems to be hiding a surprise for me today... This silly girl doesn't even know how to hide it well..."

Medusa was not surprised to hear this. Although Sakura asked her to hold Shinji back, it was obvious that Shinji already knew about it, so there was nothing to say. Fortunately, Shinji would not ruin this "surprise".

The three of them went back home, with Shinji walking in front and pushing open the door of the Matou residence...

"Snapped!"

Several colorful fireworks exploded in the air, and all the lights turned on instantly. People in the room were looking at him with different expressions...

"Happy birthday, Shinji (Nissan)!!!"

“Ahhh…”

Shinji smiled and reached out to pat away the bouquet of fireworks that fell on him. Although he had expected this, it was impossible for him to remain calm.

After all, today is his eighteenth birthday. Looking around, the room is full of people including the Heroic Masters of the last Holy Grail War, Yumiko and a few of Sakura's best friends, the gangster teacher Ohga... The android Hassan is also here, and he even brought his wife with him, which surprised Shinji.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Come inside and eat!"

"Eat, eat! I'm almost starving!"

"I want to eat cake!"

"..."

Two tables were put together in the restaurant, and the originally empty room was instantly packed. The tables were filled with various delicacies, and there was a big cake in the middle. People took their seats one after another. Since most of them were young people, although they didn't know some of them, they didn't feel too unfamiliar.

After a hearty meal and drinks, Shinji was forced to drink by several adults, especially Fujimura Taiga, with their arms around each other and they started drinking together.

Red A sat aside, picked up the red wine glass and clinked it with Hassan beside him, then drank it all in one gulp. The former enemies had already made peace, and all this was just the kid's trick...

Red A looked at Shinji, who looked a little tipsy, and suddenly felt that his restraint might not be enough to control this restless guy. Thinking that his black-hearted boss might suffer a setback, he suddenly felt better!

The lively atmosphere continued until late at night, and then everyone slowly dispersed. Shinji returned to his room with a frown...

He was drunk a lot of alcohol tonight, and although the black mud could absorb it in an instant, he didn't hate the feeling of being tipsy.

Sitting on the bed, Shinji felt something soft by his hand, and his body was shocked. He turned his head and saw Sakura lying delicately in the bed, with an expression on her face that was self-evident... So Shinji had to fight with Sakura until late at night, and finally Sakura, who was overwhelmed, fell asleep after a whimper...

Holding the soft body in his arms, Shinji, who had entered the sage time, was gentle with her for a while, then got up and put on his clothes.

When he was about to walk out of the room, he stopped, turned around and kissed Sakura on her lips, then went to the basement laboratory alone.

"We have almost finished preparing, it's time to set off..."

Pushing the second method he had been studying to its limit, Shinji's figure became hazy in a flurry of phantom overlaps, and then disappeared in an instant...

In the chaos of darkness

A few stars slowly illuminated the surroundings... Shinji looked around and finally set his sights on the larger star in front of him.

Logically, he should have been pulled into another world by the black mud, but suddenly he encountered a barrier, so he was bounced back and fell into this area.

Shinji also had some guesses about this...

[You shouldn’t be here...]

An emotionless mechanical voice came from the surroundings.

[But you will definitely appear here...]

Another voice different from the previous one sounded, as if to add to the previous sentence.

Are you trying to fool me here?

"You stopped me just to say something meaningless to me?"

[…You have touched the authority that you should not have touched. That barrier is a boundary.]

"Heh~ I learned the Second Law by my own ability, and I snatched away the evils of this world by my own power. What right do you have to say that I shouldn't have such power?"

[You have no right to resist... But you can make a deal with us...]
