7. Shirou Emiya Part I

Requested by: Animan10

Current Client: Shirou Emiya Part I

Shirou: Mom! I –

Irisviel: Wait, wait. You're Shirou, right? Shirou Emiya?

Shirou: Um, yes.

Irisviel: Good. Just making sure. It's been an interesting day... Anyway, how can I help you?

Shirou: Well, I want to be a hero –

Irisviel: Ah, doesn't every young boy?

Shirou: – but Archer says I'll never be one, and all Grail-kun did was give me a knife and tell me to kill a million people! I don't want to kill everyone, I want to save them! All of them!

Irisviel: Grail-kun?

Shirou: The Holy Grail.

Irisviel: The Holy Grail gave you advice?

Shirou: Yeah.

Irisviel: And you listened to it?

Shirou: Er –

Irisviel: This is truly sad. Look, you don't have to listen to Archer, and you definitely don't have to listen to Grail-kun or whatever you said. Who cares what they think? You can become a hero if you only believe in yourself!

Shirou: That's... incredibly cheesy.

Irisviel: I know, I know. I couldn't think of anything else to say.
