Being summoned to another world in the form of a Servant would probably be a rather wonderful experience for anyone, and Emiya Shirou is no exception.
Strictly speaking, as a spiritual being, a Servant who looks no different from a human being, and will be injured and bleed like ordinary humans. However, as long as there is no error in the energy being supplied to the servant, Servant can always maintain a state of high energy perpetually.
It is precisely because of this reason that even if the physical ability of the body has not been strengthened by becoming a Servant, Emiya Shirou can feel that there is a huge gap between himself and himself when he was still a normal human being, whether it is endurance or memory.
Sitting by the bed, he can clearly recall every minute and every second of his experience since he came to this world, which is the evidence.
"One thousand seven hundred and eighty days... There are forty-five days left, and it will be Elysia's fifth birthday." While muttering a slight admiration in his mouth, Emiya Shirou quietly stretched out his own hand, and carefully played with the hair on the side of Elysia's face with his fingertips, "Time flies so fast... Obviously, when I first met her, she was just such a small baby, but soon, she will almost catch up with me."
The voice of emotion stopped abruptly, and Emiya Shirou's movements also stopped.
He slowly withdrew his fingers arranging the broken pink hair, gently placed the storybook on the bedside table, and said in a low voice.
"Speaking of which, since the remaining simulation time is about six years, It means that the simulation time was unknowingly extended by the two of us... Is that right?"
[Correct.]
"..."
Emiya Shirou sighed silently, but no sound came out of his mouth.
From the bottom of his heart, after actually experiencing the simulated life of being a mother, Shirou Emiya does not actually recognize himself as a qualified "mother".
——Emiya Shirou's dream is to become a hero of justice.
After vowing to inherit his father's ideas, he is only twelve years old, but he still doesn't know the specific method to use to realize this dream.
He doesn't know what Emiya Kiritsugu has experienced in the past, and he doesn't know what specific things Emiya Kiritsugu has done, so Emiya Shirou takes it for granted—he doesn't know how to become the so-called [Hero of Justice, what kind of person should I become, and what kind of things should I do?
Because he doesn't understand this important part, all he can do, who is still completely immature, is to help others as much as possible within the scope of his ability.
Therefore, even though he has all kinds of dissatisfaction with the "Mother Simulator" that is full of a suspicious atmosphere, he really can't continue to trust it wholeheartedly after being pitted several times. But after knowing that the "Mother Simulator" can help him in helping others, Emiya Shirou did not hesitate to join the "Mother Simulator" and, he has never regretted his choice in the past few years of his life in the simulation game.
Five years, whether it is long or short, during the nearly five years of playing the simulation game, he watched the little Elysia grow up vigorously, and her height is almost catching up with himself. Emiya Shirou, who was going to work hard in the direction of [a hero of justice, fell into confusion after a bit of trouble.
Elysia is a very bright and lovable child.
All he could give Elysia was care in life and basic education.
As a parent, the most important responsibility is how to make your child an independent individual and a good [person].
It is also because in the process of raising Elysia that he started to think what he should do from the perspective of an "elder," Emiya Shirou turned his head and carefully examined his life.
After all, apart from "himself," Shirou Emiya doesn't understand the lives of other people at all, and he doesn't know what ordinary parents do to their children in order to give their children a human personality.
However, after looking back and examining "self" carefully, Emiya Shirou suddenly had a revelation. Not to mention teaching others how to become a real [person, even though he himself didn't know what to do or how to do it.
"...Dad's dream, it's up to me..."
After hearing his calm oath and saying "I'm at ease," the man named Emiya Kiritsugu passed away.
So, from that moment on, even if he didn't know what to do, even if he didn't know what Emiya Kiritsugu did in the past, Shirou Emiya still had to become a "hero of justice."
If... it wasn't for witnessing how Elysia grew up, probably even if Emiya Shirou exhausted his life, he wouldn't be able to realize this on his own.
——No, it's not impossible to comprehend.
Rather, as long as he is still on the path of becoming a "hero of justice," Emiya Shirou will never be able to comprehend this matter.
As a robot and a counterfeit, of course, he can't help Elysia become a real [human].
That's right...
Before taking Elysia outside, he originally thought otherwise.
However, Emiya Shirou was startled when Elysia started to come into contact with this world.
Even without his help, this child can still become a different person very smoothly.
Nothing like his botched forgery.
If we say that after Emiya Kiritsugu passed away, Emiya Shirou became a robot that executed the established program called "Hero of Justice" and mechanically imitated [Emiya Kiritsugu] in poor quality, then, ever since she came into contact with this world, Elysia, who loves everything in the world, is very interested in everything, and is completely open to everyone she meets, is undoubtedly [Human] named [Elysia].
It's not like him, although he has the name [Emiya Shirou, he has become a [machine] that blindly imitates [Emiya Kiritsugu].
...If it was Elysia, even if her false "mother" was not around, the frank and lively her should be the same as now, with the gorgeous and flawless brilliance and kindness, without any difference. Everyone.
Yes...
It's clearly just a five-year-old child, and she looks as lively and cute as other children, but Elysia is simply closer to [the path of justice] than himself...this immature [faker].
I don't know if my sudden appearance by her side is... a good thing for this child.
"If, one day in the near future, I, who was going to leave her side after all, was not there from the beginning..." A faint voice escaped from Emiya Shirou's mouth involuntarily.
...would it have been the better situation for this child?
