Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: You've Picked Up a Life to Take Back, Emiya Shirou

No. 7 ended. After it finished, everyone marveled at how difficult life was for the humans in that world, while also feeling that the people there were very united.

Also, how did that human-to-Titan transformation come about?

There were still many mysteries in that world, but despite that, the Titan world didn't show too many things that were truly astounding.

So, everyone turned their attention back to other matters.

In the Type-Moon/Fate World.

Tohsaka Rin had just finished watching No. 7, and Emiya Shirou nearby also saw No. 8—the projection video where he was the protagonist.

Several question marks appeared over his head, looking somewhat confused and unable to believe it.

"Eh?! Is this me?!"

Emiya Shirou looked at himself in the video, his expression exceptionally confused. How did he end up on TV?

By the way, who is Gilgamesh, and why was he cutting off his arm?

"Yeah, that's you. Speaking of which, what's going on? Why are you, an ordinary Magus, fighting with a Servant?"

Tohsaka Rin looked at Emiya Shirou with an exasperated expression, palm on her forehead. "And later you even fought..."

"Tohsaka-san!! Don't say it yet!!"

Emiya Shirou hurriedly interrupted Tohsaka Rin. When he watched the multiverse projection, he didn't like 'spoilers.'

When he came home from school to rest, he enjoyed watching the multiverse projection videos.

He didn't like leaving messages in the comment section because as soon as he entered, a large group of people would give spoilers, telling him what happened later.

This caused the usually good-natured Emiya Shirou's blood pressure to rise steadily. Because of this, he developed a habit.

That was, before watching a video, he would absolutely not go to the comment section to avoid spoilers affecting his viewing experience.

Now he wasn't looking at the comments, but Emiya Shirou never expected that a 'spoiler person' would be right beside him, even if she hadn't finished her sentence.

But Emiya Shirou had already guessed what she wanted to say next through her expression.

"..."

Tohsaka Rin reached out to cover her mouth, then looked at Emiya Shirou with a bit of a mischievous grin. "Not say it? Then you have to promise me one condition."

"Uh, this..." Emiya Shirou was seeing Tohsaka-san, who was like a noble young lady, show such an expression for the first time.

One must know that Tohsaka Rin had extremely high popularity at school.

And her usual behavior was of the cold and aloof type.

Suddenly, such a cold and aloof young lady was giving him a mischievous grin; anyone would probably feel a bit at a loss.

This was exactly the case for Emiya Shirou at this moment; he quietly took half a step back, feeling that things were not looking good.

Besides, he only wanted her to stop spoiling the video; why did he have to agree to one of her requests?

Although Emiya Shirou felt helpless, the video was indeed very good, so he nodded and said resignedly, "As long as it's not something too excessive."

"Hehe, it's simple. It's... well... I'll tell you after you finish the video."

Tohsaka Rin had just wanted to ask Emiya Shirou about 'Innate Territory,' but she had just promised him she wouldn't give any spoilers.

If she asked about 'Innate Territory,' it would pretty much count as a different kind of spoiler.

So she planned to wait until Emiya Shirou finished the video before discussing 'Innate Territory' with him.

Just as Emiya Shirou was about to continue watching the video, a man's voice rang out.

"Hmph! Found you, brat."

Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou were startled. They both looked toward the source of the voice and found a man wearing golden armor standing on a streetlamp, looking down at them.

"Gilgamesh?!"

"Goldie?"

Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou exclaimed.

Tohsaka Rin had finished watching the No. 8 ranking, so she knew what Gilgamesh's true name was.

Emiya Shirou didn't know; he hadn't checked the comments section either, so he only knew the other party as 'Goldie'.

"What 'Goldie'?! This King is not called that! Brat!" Gilgamesh was furious; he didn't like the nickname 'Goldie' at all.

Under normal circumstances, Gilgamesh might have felt that 'Goldie' was a compliment to him, because he was as dazzling as gold.

But because of the title 'No. 8: Emiya Shirou Slices Goldie's Arm,' Gilgamesh didn't like the name 'Goldie' one bit.

It was undoubtedly saying that he was that very 'Goldie' who had his Arm sliced off.

That wasn't him. He was Gilgamesh, the king of heroes! He would never do something so unsightly.

"By the way, weren't you wearing a suit? Why are you in golden armor?" Tohsaka Rin quietly shielded Emiya Shirou behind her, frowning as she looked at Gilgamesh. "And the Holy Grail War hasn't even started, why have you appeared?"

"Fool, this King has appeared before you in person, yet you ask these two questions?"

Gilgamesh looked at Tohsaka Rin. Through the multiverse projection video, he also knew she was Emiya Shirou's companion.

Later in the Holy Grail War, this woman would act together with Emiya Shirou to stop his plans.

Right now, the Holy Grail War had not yet begun, Saber had not appeared, and it seemed this woman had not obtained her own Servant either.

"These two questions are the most important ones, aren't they!" Emiya Shirou muttered slightly, although he didn't know what the Holy Grail War was.

But from Tohsaka's words, the other party shouldn't have appeared yet.

Moreover, Emiya Shirou was curious. In the video, the other party was clearly wearing a suit, so why was he wearing golden armor now?

Was it to protect himself? Or was it just for decoration?

"Hmph!" Gilgamesh didn't answer. He couldn't very well say that after seeing himself in a suit getting his Arm sliced off, he felt that his self in the video was indeed too arrogant.

So, before looking for Emiya Shirou, he had specifically put on the golden armor he wore during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

This golden armor had a certain level of defensive power; if he fought while wearing it, perhaps he wouldn't end up having his Arm sliced off.

"However..." Gilgamesh stared at Emiya Shirou and didn't sense any dangerous aura from him.

Furthermore, the boy looked just like an ordinary person right now, with nothing remarkable about him.

But it was the same in the video; he looked like an ordinary person with nothing remarkable, until he later activated Innate Territory and his strength increased significantly.

Buzz—!!

A golden ripple appeared behind Gilgamesh, and a Noble Phantasm shot out, flying toward the two of them.

"Danger!"

Emiya Shirou instinctively pushed Tohsaka Rin away, and then the Noble Phantasm was reflected in his pupils.

"Emiya-kun!!" Tohsaka Rin, who had been pushed away, was shocked, thinking that Emiya Shirou was surely dead.

Clang—!

However, in the next second, another golden ripple opened, and another Noble Phantasm flew out, knocking away the one that was attacking Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin.

Looking at the shaken Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin, Gilgamesh snorted and said disdainfully, "Emiya Shirou, you've kept your life for now."

"This King does not wish to kill you now. Once you have grown and attained the strength shown in the multiverse projection, this King will naturally come looking for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gilgamesh vanished from the spot, his whereabouts unknown.
