Riding in the man's police car, Emiya Shirou returned to his [home] in Nagazora City.
Emiya Kiritsugu in this world was a policeman who had been fighting crime for years. Before adopting Emiya Shirou, the house he lived in was a small building with two floors. The location of the house is in the East District, Nagazora City. It takes about fifteen minutes to get back here from St. Luke International Hospital.
On the way home, the man driving the police car kept talking to Emiya Shirou about Emiya Kiritsugu.
Judging from the respectful tone of the man when he described Emiya Kiritsugu, the Emiya Kiritsugu of this world seems to have fulfilled his ideal unexpectedly, although he has not been able to truly become the so-called "Hero of Justice", But at least for Emiya Kiritsugu himself, until he died under the gun of a criminal, he seemed to have no regrets at all about choosing his career as a policeman.
"Is it really okay for you to live alone, Shirou?" After arriving at the door, Emiya Shirou got out of the police car. The man rolled down the window of the police car and said in a worried tone, "Although the Emiya-san police had been bragging about how sensible his child is to the whole precinct. I also know that you spent most of the time when he was out on duty by yourself, but Nagazora City is not safe during this time, if you don't mind, why don't you live with me first?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but it's okay for me to be alone." Emiya Shirou turned his head and shook his head, "But... you said that Nagazora City is not safe during this time? What's going on?"
"...Speaking of this matter may rub salt on your wounds, but I still think you, Shirou, are qualified to know about this matter." The man sighed faintly, "After all, your father... died because of this incident."
"..." Emiya Shirou was silent for a moment, then he clenched his fingers into fists, "Can you tell me more about it?"
"To put it simply, there have been several disappearance cases in Nagazora City recently." The man said, "We found some clues at the disappearance scene where those people disappeared mysteriously. The criminal gang your father..., was unfortunately shot when he was chasing the lead."
"...shot?" Emiya Shiro couldn't help but frown slightly, "In Japan ... No, in our country with such strict gun control, are there still active gunmen?"
"It seems that Emiya-san seems to have told you a lot about his work." The man couldn't help showing a somewhat surprised expression. To be honest, watching a boy who is still in primary school discuss crimes with him in such a serious and mature tone made the man feel unrealistic and absurd. He could only sigh in his mind and thought so this is the adopted son of Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Indeed, although our country has not completely banned guns, the policy on gun management has always been very strict, except for special cases, there is no legal channel to obtain any form of firearms, so during the pursuit, we... did not expect that there would be snipers lurking in the dark."
"Before Dad was shot, the criminal didn't use any firearm?" Emiya Shirou asked in a deep voice.
"No, the case in which Emiya-San was shot to death is also the first shooting incident in Japan of this year." The man let out a long breath as if he wanted to completely vomit out the stagnation accumulated in his chest, "... ...Of course, this is also the first time we have encountered that criminal group."
" Although it is a bit embarrassing to say this, we will not... and it is impossible to publicize the information about the Police officer's family members to the outside world, but since we are already on the other side the existence of a sniper rifle was discovered in the criminal group, and the sniper was able to ambush in advance on the pursuit route, which means that we have no way to ensure that no fish slips through the net of the police department. And you are also the only descendant of Emiya Kiritsugu who has no heirs left in this world. Even if you don't want to see us and live with us, I suggest that you better report to us regularly until the criminal group is caught. The Police Department has applied for 24-hour personal safety protection."
After hearing the man's heartfelt words, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but fell into silence.
To be honest, from the moment he woke up until now, his mind has been in a state of chaos where
he can't sort out the situation at all.
His Sudden appearance in this world; becoming one with the boy named [Emiya Shirou] inexplicable when the [Emiya Shirou] in this world lost consciousness because he was suddenly informed of his father's death last night... plus, those thin black threads attached to the surface of everything, which made him feel dizzy and want to vomit.
All things are strange and important, and there is nothing that Shirou Emiya can ignore now. However, it was precisely because too many abnormal situations were pressing on him all at once, Emiya Shirou couldn't grasp the key points accurately in a short time.
No matter what, let's find a way to solve the physical problem first.
These strange black lines that filled his field of vision... If they are dealt with soon, let alone taking action, even calming down and thinking about problems will become an unattainable luxury.
No matter how inexperienced he is, Emiya Shirou can still be regarded as a mage who is outside common sense.
Learning many mysteries, going deep into the structure of the world, performing miracles that are difficult for ordinary people... Although he did not inherit the proper knowledge of magic from his father, and his father always said that he did not have much magic talent, even so, Emiya Shirou, still has basic knowledge about the mysteries.
Ever since he was able to see those dark thin lines, Emiya Shiro could feel that his brain was in a state of boiling all the time. His eyesight also seemed to be weakening a little bit.
Everything in the field of vision began to become blurred. His eyesight is already quite good. If he uses magic power to further enhance his eyesight, he can even see things hundreds of meters away quite clearly.
Although the picture where everything is covered by cracks filled with the smell of death does look quite dazzling, but logically speaking, it is just seeing something that he has never seen before, and it should not affect his brain. It is only right that such a severe load is caused by vision.
Of course... compared to the [exercise] that has been carried out continuously at night for about four years, this level of load is far from reaching the limit of Emiya Shirou.
After all, from the day he made up his mind to learn magic, death has always been by his side.
Compared with the risk of complete necrosis of internal organs at any time when practicing magic, the dizziness of the brain and blurred vision can probably be regarded as quite gentle loads.
The most important question is how long this strange mutation will last. And, how will these dark thin lines disappear? How long he who is still living in this world must smell the presence [death] at close range.
