Shinji Matou At Your Service

Chapter 24: Justisa's confusion

Views:

The androids of the Einzbern family all possess beauty that could bring disaster. Although they try to dress as approachably as possible (compared to ceremonial attire, refer to Yustisa's Heavenly Clothes or the wife in FGO), such beauties are bound to be the center of attention wherever they go, no matter what they wear.

When such a beauty walks together with a peerless beautiful boy (girl) with the same extraordinary temperament, the lethality will increase exponentially.

Along the way, the two were treated just like celebrities walking on the street. People of all ages, genders, and genders all saluted them. If it weren't for the fact that the boy's temperament was too dignified and his eyes were too clear, giving off an aura that kept people at a distance, I'm afraid someone would have come up to chat with him or ask for his autograph.

Thanks to this situation, Justisa could observe the two people without fear of being discovered.

Before parting with Scathach, she had reminded him that the perception of a master-level expert was very sharp and could easily sense the gazes that were secretly watching. Therefore, one must be careful when observing, and unless the target is very conspicuous, try not to look directly at the target, and do not be hostile. Saber and Irisviel were very conspicuous.

The Einzbern family made very thoughtful arrangements. As soon as they walked out of the terminal, a special car was waiting for them to be taken directly to Fuyuki City. And Justisa also followed Shinji's suggestion and used suggestion magic to prepare the vehicle in advance, tracking the target in sections and levels.

Although spirits can ignore many physical limitations, they cannot ignore distance. Justisa is not a servant and cannot run as fast as a car, so using modern tools becomes the best option.

Shinji is not a traditional magician like Kenneth and Tohsaka Tokiomi, and he does not adhere to the supremacy of magic. Justisia is a cyborg, and she does not have the pride of a magician. In a sense, this pair of contractors are very similar to Emiya Kiritsugu.

When Justisa returned to Fuyuki City, the sun had begun to set and night was approaching.

She got off the bus at the square in front of the station, and a few dozen meters away was the Saber group that had gotten off the bus three minutes ago.

Saber was like a commander inspecting a battlefield, coldly observing every blade of grass and every tree around her.

The woman in pure white looked at everything around her with a curious, natural smile, a brightness that Justisa had never possessed.

"Are you too relaxed? Ai... Alice... Phil?" Irisviel's syllables are much more than Saber's, making it difficult to identify, but since Saber has called her so many times, Justissa can roughly judge the pronunciation.

From the first time they met, Justisa felt that she could not understand this "sister", this "junior" at all.

Justisa can see a lot of herself in Irisviel, for example, before she was "used", she had been staying in Einzbern City, isolated from the outside world, so she was curious about things in the outside world. Since androids don't have the same complex psychology as humans, they can be said to be ignorant of worldly affairs or naturally innocent.

However, what Justisa couldn't understand was whether Irisviel's emotions were too strong. In her impression, whether it was the other androids in the family or the most recent head of the family, Ahad, they were all cold and machine-like. Even if her personality was influenced by the Servants, it was not as strong as Irisviel's.

I feel happy and laugh out loud at the slightest thing.

Even the smallest thing would make him feel sad and his face would fall.

In contrast, Saber beside her looked more like a member of the Einzbern family. She had no expression on her face most of the time, was loyal to her duties, and looked like a medieval knight.

Strange, strange, strange.

Has Einzbern changed

No, less than 200 years have passed, Ahad's lifespan should not have ended yet, and Einzbern will not change.

So Irisviel is a special case

I don’t understand. I don’t understand. I don’t understand.

The more she observed, the more doubts Justisa had in her mind.

When she saw the two of them actually walking hand in hand in public, her doubts reached their peak.

Servants can sense each other's existence through their breath. Except for special classes like Assassin that have breath concealing skills, or Heroic Spirits that have special skills, otherwise the encounter between two Servants will be as clear as a candle in the dark night.

Exposing your Servant is a small matter, but what if you get dragged into a Servant War, get hurt yourself, and cause problems with the "Little Holy Grail"

"Shinji, I don't understand. She clearly knows her fate and her responsibilities, so why is she so careless? Why is she so... happy? Even I felt sorry for myself who was about to disappear."

Perhaps influenced by Irisviel, Justisa's mood swings became more obvious.

"I think she should have made the corresponding preparations."

Unlike the confused Justisia, Shinji could understand some of Irisviel's feelings.

"She knew that she would soon turn into the 'Little Holy Grail'; and soon her personality would disappear, so she focused on the present. While her body was still able to move, she would go out and see the world; while her personality was still there, she would experience more things she had never done, so that when her personality disappeared, she would have no regrets."

"Justisa, you wanted to witness the birth of the Greater Holy Grail and didn't want to leave any regrets, so you kept your personality. It's the same for Miss Irisviel, but she doesn't have your ability, so she chose this way."

"Is... that so?" Shinji's voice echoed in her ears. As she looked at the black and white combination wandering aimlessly, Justisa seemed to have grasped something, yet seemed to have grasped nothing.

Saber and Irisviel walked along the street, occasionally stopping to look at the windows glittering in the setting sun with a smile, or to look at the exhibits in the windows with curiosity. But they only looked, and never entered any store.

"Is this all right?" Justisa seemed to be asking Shinji, or asking herself, or more like asking Irisviel who was destined not to hear.

"I... can't answer your question, and neither can they. The only one who can answer it is you."

Shinji's voice changed from hesitant to firm, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Justissa Rizleich von Einzbern, just do what you want and seek your answers. The Master and I will handle the Holy Grail War."

"Is it okay?" Justisa trembled.

"Nothing can be done. Don't you want to save humanity? How can you save humanity if you don't even understand human hearts?"

Shinji smiled. Although Justisia couldn't see it, she was sure that this smile was as pure as Irisviel's.

"Thank you, Shinji." Justisa's voice was soft, but it was the first time that Shinji felt at peace.

"You're welcome. I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Shinji said as he opened the window of his room and watched the afterglow of the setting sun being swallowed by the horizon.
