Chapter 11

[You never imagined that caring for a newborn would be such a difficult job.]

[You stayed by her side day and night, carefully observing her state all the time, and took care of her meticulously, fearing that you might do something wrong and make this delicate newborn even slightly uncomfortable.]

[You start to appreciate that you are a Servant, not a human being with a flesh and blood body. Even if you don't sleep for a minute for several months, it will not cause your exhausted body to uncontrollably collapse.]

[In just a few months, you have already fully mastered all the knowledge in the "Newborn Baby Nursing Encyclopedia." Due to your close care, you quickly noticed the difference in this unusual newborn.]

[She is intelligent and grows faster than normal newborns. While other children are still unable to actively control many things due to their underdeveloped physiological functions, she already understands how to perceive and distinguish everything in this world. She gradually begins to adapt and control her body.]

[By three months, she began to gradually reduce crying for no reason.]

[You have been confused by this, even feeling lost. You start to wonder if you are a competent caregiver and if you have done something to upset her, causing the little girl, so delicately crafted from flawless pink diamond, to force herself to mature quickly.]

[But soon, that little girl's attitude towards you dispels your self-doubt.]

[Even though she has taken the initiative to reduce crying, she is still very dependent on you and can even be described as quite clingy.]

[She yearns for your embrace, hopes to have your company, and quite enjoys the food you prepare for her. Although she still can't take care of many things by herself, she has started trying to express her desires to you through various ways, such as manipulating body language and making emotional sounds.]

[You realize that you are not alienated by this child; rather, she seems to be growing closer to you.]

[You can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but your confusion still lingers.]

[In the name of curiosity and the desire to learn new knowledge, you politely ask the adults in the town who have taken care of children or have newborns like you about their experiences in raising children.]

[Due to your maturity and sensibility, most people in the town genuinely like you, and the questions you ask easily reawaken the tenderness in the hearts of adults. As a result, almost everyone you ask patiently answers your questions.]

[From the mouths of those adults, you have confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the knowledge you have acquired, and you have done your best to nurture and care for that child all along.]

[You begin to realize that there might be something different about this child, but you quickly put that thought aside.]

[So what if she is different from ordinary people? She is just a little smarter than others. She is still a child who needs to be cared for.]

[You genuinely rejoice in this child's talent and continue to take care of her as always.]

[At six months, she begins to attempt standing with her immature and lovely body, staggering into your arms.]

[At the same time, the little girl, who is learning to speak for the first time, happily utters those two words that send chills down your spine.]

"Mom—"

Emiya Shirou instinctively catches the girl's soft and delicate body, his mouth slightly agape, a mix of confusion and disbelief on his face.

"Mom?"

Perhaps because Emiya Shirou remained silent for too long, the little girl pokes her head out from Emiya Shirou's chest. Her clear pink pupils seem to speak, showing a hint of unease and confusion. Her voice starts to falter.

"I..."

If someone else called him "mother," Emiya Shirou would have darkened his face and scolded them with anger. However, faced with this little girl who happily rushes towards him just by seeing him, Emiya Shirou cannot get angry at all.

Rather, no matter how stubborn he is, no matter how much he argues, it is difficult for him to accept being called "Mom" by someone else. However, Shirou Emiya has to admit that the moment he hears the soft pronunciation from the little girl's milky voice, the first emotion he feels is undoubtedly an overwhelming sense of joy and tenderness.

Today, he has no regrets about choosing to participate in this simulation instance. Six months of sleepless nights are not a burden on the Servant's body. He accepts it all without complaints.

After all, ever since he made up his mind to become a champion of justice and made an oath to his father, Emiya Shirou has been walking the path of bringing as much happiness as possible to everyone.

From the very beginning, he never expected to receive anything in return for his actions.

However, after witnessing the little girl's unwavering trust and hearing that simple word, "Mom," he feels a sense of satisfaction as if all his efforts have been rewarded. And yet, he also feels an immense surge of arrogance within himself.

But at the same time...

In that very moment of boundless satisfaction, Emiya Shirou's amber pupils suddenly reflect a nightmarish scene.

The grotesque nightmares awaken violently—the burning ruins, people turning to ashes and shrinking, cries for help, pain, the sensation of the brain sizzling within the skull... including the other [Shirou Emiya] witnessing his parents being repeatedly stabbed by an unknown person, blood spilling on the ground.

Memories flood his mind like a tidal wave, transcending time and space. Whispers full of resentment and hatred echo in his ears, like vengeful spirits relentlessly pursuing him.

Satisfaction? Happiness? Does he truly deserve such things?

His breathing becomes erratic.

Invisible fear, accompanied by a strong sense of nausea, surges into Emiya Shirou's chest.

But... no.

No matter how much he torments himself, this little girl is innocent.

She sincerely utters her first words in this world, not for any ulterior motive, but simply to express gratitude for his constant presence.

Even though he sincerely believes he is unworthy of satisfaction and reward, Emiya Shirou still prays from the depths of his heart that this child can have a happy and stable childhood like any other child.

"Yes, I'm right here."

He embraces the little girl and gently strokes her head over and over again, his voice filled with both joy and pain.

"Your loved ones have always been here..."

Feeling the warm embrace and comforting words, the girl's face once again blossoms with a happy and joyful smile.

[The simulated subject feels deeply satisfied and becomes even more attached to you.]

[The simulation time is extended by one year.]
