Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice II

Chapter 369

"Solomon, how long are you planning to stay in London?" Shirou asked.

King Solomon pondered before responding, "It depends on Marisbury's intentions. As his Servant, my stay here aligns with his plans."

Shirou turned his head slightly, his gaze shifting to Marisbury, who chimed in, "I'll be staying until the materials and funding applications are approved."

Understanding the circumstances, Shirou nodded and turned his attention back to Solomon, "If you're going to stick around in London, it would be great if you could lend a hand in protecting the British Isles."

King Solomon looked at him but remained silent.

Shirou continued, "There are quite a few divine spirits who have made their way to the British Isles. They're not exactly gods native to our world but rather invaders from another world. I was hoping you could keep an eye on them."

He paused briefly before adding, "Besides, it could be beneficial for you. It might help you understand human emotions."

"Is there any correlation between these matters?"

"Don't be too quick to dismiss the idea," Shirou advised, his tone gentle yet persuasive. "There are some things that can only be truly understood through interaction and personal experience. Even with your vast knowledge and power, you will encounter the same limitations. Engaging with others and immersing yourself in their world might provide you with a fresh perspective."

King Solomon considered Shirou's words and nodded, acknowledging the wisdom in his suggestion.

"Alright then, I'll leave you to it."

As Shirou made his way out, his eyes briefly grazed over Lev Lainur before he finally took his leave.

Observing his departure, Lev Lainur couldn't help but scratch the back of his head in a gesture of unease. "It seems like His Majesty holds some sort of animosity against me."

Marisbury directed his gaze towards his Servant and asked, "King Solomon, don't you have any intention to explain the concept of Humanity Incineration?"

King Solomon calmly shook his head, his expression serene and almost detached.

"I see. So, there's no need then? Well, I suppose it's a matter between you and the Eternal King."

Marisbury was unaware of the concept of Human Order Correction and the Human Order Incineration.

It was only natural for him to be in the dark about these matters. After all, King Solomon had become aware of Human Order Correction only after Shirou had informed him about FGO. The same could be said about Human Order Incineration.

Now, thanks to Shirou's information, it was revealed that King Solomon had destroyed the Human Order Correction before his death, and completely obliterating his own corpse. This led to the logical conclusion that the Human Order Incineration scenario couldn't possibly have occurred, making any further explanation unnecessary.

Of course, King Solomon's temperament played a significant role as well.

His temperament was just like that—calm and composed, rarely showing any emotional reaction. It seemed that the only thing capable of stirring significant waves of emotion within him was his desire to meet the Eternal King. Other than that, he displayed no interest in anything else.

It's indeed ironic that as the ruler of humans, a species known for their abundant desires and emotions, King Solomon himself seemed void of such emotions. Perhaps this very irony is what drove him to seek the presence of the Eternal King.

In his eyes, among the four individuals in the Clairvoyance Chat Group, it was the emotions of the Eternal King that appeared the most abundant and intense.

...

Shirou didn't take action at the hospital. As for whether the Human Order Incineration would actually occur, that remains uncertain.

His cautious temperament led him to make a decision in order to protect his sister from suffering the same fate as Gudako. As a precautionary measure, he considered killing Lev Lainur and destroying Chaldea. This was not an unusual decision.

However, the presence of King Solomon prevented him from acting upon his plans.

As the Grand Caster, King Solomon's power remained formidable, even if he was currently summoned with a regular Spiritual Core.

In order to confront and counter a Grand Caster of King Solomon's caliber, Shirou would have to use the Class Card and face him as the Eternal King.

However, there was no immediate necessity for such a course of action. The pressing concern at the moment lay in the invasion from parallel worlds.

Taking this perspective into account, King Solomon, possessing incredible combat capabilities, had the potential to be convinced to join forces instead of being pushed into opposition. With this in mind, Shirou chose to suppress his enmity and adopt a more gentle approach.

Shirou and Miyu boarded the car and set off towards Gray's residence.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Miyu felt a sense of confusion swirling in her mind.

King Solomon? In her world, he was renowned and regarded as all-knowing.

But now, King Solomon had made an appearance in this world? And Miyu's brother counterpart from the parallel world was referred to as the Eternal King?

She couldn't help but feel perplexed. What exactly was this Eternal King? In her world, there was no legend or mention of such a figure.

And based on King Solomon's behaviors so far, it appears that he and her brother have a longstanding friendship. This raises the question of why her brother would be acquainted with King Solomon.

The notion of parallel counterparts suggests that they are born simultaneously but undergo different experiences in separate worlds.

Also, those uncles seem to have great respect for her brother.

The stark contrast between this world and her brother Emiya Shirou's circumstances was undeniable. Everything seemed unfamiliar to her, unlike what she was accustomed to.

Shirou took the wheel, his eyes focused on the road ahead. Out of the blue, he interrupted her thoughts, saying, "There's no use dwelling on things that are beyond your control."

"Huh?" she was caught off guard by his remark.

He continued, "Children should just act like children. You don't need to concern yourself with the adults' matters."

Miyu found herself at a loss for words. This world and its people felt incredibly unfamiliar to her. She couldn't shake off the sense of being a stranger in a foreign land. Even in the hospital, she remained silent, carefully observing everyone around her. Her mind raced as she tried to remember each person and analyze their relationships, hoping to grasp a better understanding and find her place in this new world.

But her brother was telling her not to worry about it.

Did that mean she shouldn't be so anxious about this world?

Miyu looked at his profile, trying to decipher the true intent behind his words. However, she quickly gave up.

Compared to her brother, Emiya Shirou, this brother's expression was very calm. It was difficult to observe any emotional fluctuations from him.

He resembled King Solomon in terms of his neutral expression. However, unlike King Solomon, this brother's heart seemed to be brimming with emotions even more intense than the hottest flames, despite never openly expressing them.
