blow your face

-----After waking up, I found myself in the burning wilderness.

There must have been a big fire.

The familiar streets turned into ruins, just like the battlefield ruins seen in movies.

---And this situation did not last long.

Around dawn, the fire gradually died down.

The wall of fire that was so high before was gradually lowered, and most of the buildings collapsed.

...Among these, I feel quite incredible that I am the only one who is still intact.

Around here, only myself is alive...

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Emiya Shirou opened his closed eyes, and what he saw was the twilight light slanting in from the window.Emiya Shirou looked at the blood-red sunset in his eyes outside the window in a daze.

Did you fall asleep during class because you were too tired from practicing at night...

He looked down at the watch on his wrist, the time was 30:30 pm, [-] minutes left before the closing time of the school.I have to get out quickly, so I can't trouble my friend who is the student council president.

There are a lot of people on the street today.The relentless temperature of the north wind is like the indifference among people.Emiya Shirou looked inconspicuous in such a crowd, submerged in the crowd like a transparent existence.

It's rare that I don't have to work today, and I didn't get caught up in other things. I might as well go back and cook dinner by myself. I can't always bother my school girl Matou Sakura who often comes to help at home, Emiya Shirou thought so, turned into A department store down the street.When he came out, he was already carrying paper bags containing fresh vegetables and freshly bought meat in his hands.

On the way home from the department store, I passed a park. The park in the center of the commercial street looked like a large square covered by forests and grasslands. , The children playing football in the park showed a faint smile.

Then he noticed that there was a small white ball curled up on a bench in the park beside him.

It's... people...

Emiya Shiro approached the bench in the park, and looked at the children curled up into a small round ball with a little surprise. They looked about three or four years old, some of them had light golden soft short hair, and long eyelashes like The clipped feathers of the butterfly trembled slightly, and the delicate eyebrows looked like a doll-like child, wearing a beautifully crafted white hunting suit, with a pair of small black wings on his back.Curled up obediently on the bench.

How could he sleep here... Shirou Emiya was a little puzzled.However, he still gently sat next to the child. After putting down the things at hand, Emiya Shirou took off his uniform coat and covered the sleeping child.

There seems to be a major accident in Xindu in the neighboring town.

The scene of the incident was in a building on a commercial street, and all the people inside were in a critical state of hypoxia and unconsciousness.

Because he was worried about such a small child sleeping alone on a park bench, Emiya Shirou decided to sit beside the child and wait for his family to come and pick him up before going home.

however……

Until the sun went down completely and all the children playing football in the park left with the adults who came to pick them up, Emiya Shiro still did not wait for the family members of the children sleeping on the park benches.

"...Anyway, let's call the police first..." Emiya Shiro gently pulled the corner of the clothes covering the child, wanting to take out his mobile phone without waking the child, but he didn't want his actions to still be noisy Wake up the sleeping child.

The moment his figure was imprinted into those blue eyes as clear as the sky, Emiya Shirou couldn't help holding his breath.By coincidence, Emiya Shiro did not continue what he wanted to call the police just now, but took the child back to his home.

It was already around 8:00 in the evening, Emiya Shiro returned to Emiya House with the things he bought from the department store in one hand, and the child who was rubbing his dim eyes with his soft arms all the way in the other. At that time, I only saw a dinner for one person wrapped in plastic wrap on the table in the restaurant. I thought Matou Sakura and Yoto-san had already eaten it.

But it's also convenient for me to accommodate the child who just came back from the park.Although Sakura helped prepare his own dinner, obviously, he had to cook a hot dinner for this child.

He put the incredibly well-behaved child in his arms on the tatami mat.After exhorting softly, Emiya Shiro turned around and wrapped up the apron placed on the stone table next to the sink in the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, took out the ingredients he needed from the ingredients he had just returned, and made it himself. A hamburger.It was placed in front of the child who was already lying on the tatami mat and was about to fall asleep.

"Eat and sleep first."

"...Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."Then he looked at the boy with reddish-brown hair who was sitting next to him with a helpless smile, picked up the knife and fork beside him, cut a small piece of the exquisite hamburger meat on the plate, and fed it to his mouth, opening his mouth Bite the hamburger meat fed by the boy into his mouth, and then opened his mouth vaguely. "……tasty……"

"Thank you for the compliment." Hearing the child's praise for his cooking, Emiya Shiro smiled sincerely, then continued to cut the hamburger meat on the plate, and fed it to the child who was lying on the tatami mat that he had just picked up.While asking the question in his heart. "I'm Shirou Emiya, what's your name?"

"Hmm--? My name is Zhijiu." Zhijiu enjoyed the delicious food fed by the boy one by one, and then thought about answering the boy's question.

"So Chiku, where do you live?" Emiya Shirou asked with a smile.

"In the house." Chihisa turned his head and thought for a while, then answered Emiya Shirou's words with a serious face.

Emiya Shiro's forehead involuntarily slid a few black lines. The question was where he lived, and the answer was in the house. There was nothing wrong with him.But there was no useful information at all... In desperation, Shirou Emiya continued to ask. "where is your family?"

"Family?" Chihisa repeated the question Emiya Shirou asked just now in doubt, he couldn't understand what Emiya Shirou said.

He is the big tengu, the big tengu of Mount Atago, the youkai family incarnated by Emperor Sutoku's resentment, does such a thing exist?

So Chihisa simply showed a bright smile to Emiya Shirou. "No."

Emiya Shirou, it was the first time in his life that he encountered such a difficult child.

The author has something to say:

Please pay attention to the presence of milk dogs!

At this time, Gouzi is in a state of flying, walking, stumbling, and slurring his teeth.

Someone may have guessed that the effect of the talisman drawn by Hei Seimei would make Chihisa smaller! (laughs) And Zhiku doesn’t have any memory beyond that age group.

A big dog who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside is a normal child when he was young. Don't think that people's personalities are innate, and they may develop various habits the day after tomorrow.

Zhijiu's current situation is similar to that of an ordinary child.The current situation is: being picked up by the good old Shiro Emiya.
