"Why?" Shirou Emiya, who probably guessed something inside, asked patiently, "Do you want to leave home, is life at home boring you?"
"No, no, no! No!" Elysia hurried shakes her head, her crisp voice raised sharply,
"I have never felt that life at home is difficult! My mother is very nice! The food he cooks is also delicious! The bed I sleep on is also very comfortable, but...but ..." As she spoke, Elysia's voice suddenly became choked up, tears welled up in her eyes, and she fell to the ground.
She didn't want to leave Emiya Shirou's side at all, and she didn't want to leave this warm and beautiful home at all. If possible, even if she stayed here for the rest of her life, Elysia would not be bored.
She is grateful from the bottom of her heart for Emiya Shirou's care and upbringing, and also feels an attachment to this family from the bottom of her heart, so after deciding to leave, she was completely unable to hold back by the sadness and grief that surged into her chest.
To be honest, even Elysia herself didn't know why she wanted to leave her home so much. She was just a child less than seven years old. Although she was much smarter than other children of the same age, there are still many things that she doesn't understand and can't comprehend.
She didn't know why the town was blocked, and she couldn't figure out why she felt subconsciously afraid when she saw those soldiers, and even "I had to leave home" was just an almost instinctive judgment.
Can't continue to stay at home.
Those soldiers cannot be made aware of their true identities.
I can't stay with my "mother" any longer.
If she doesn't leave, "Mom"...and everyone in the town will...
But, they have clearly made up their minds.
Obviously, she is already mentally prepared to leave her "mother".
Why...why can't she stop crying?
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"
Elysia who was blurred by tears couldn't see something slowly approaching.
It was a palm that was the same as hers... even younger than her.
The warm palm gently touched the corner of her eyes, and with gentle movements, wiped away the tears on Elysia's cheeks.
"Speaking of which." After gently wiping away Elysia's tears, Emiya Shirou suddenly said, "There is one thing, I may have to apologize to Ellie about."
"..."
Elysia's nose twitched as she raised her palm, wiped her teary little face indiscriminately, and said out of breath, "Yes...is... what... is it?" "
"Actually Ah, I am your guardian angel." Emiya Shirou said with a smile.
The few words that were completely inconsistent with the current atmosphere made Elysia focus her attention immediately. She widened her eyes, blinked twice, and her wet eyelashes caught a light, it flickered: "Shou... a guardian angel?"
"Yes, look." Emiya Shirou smiled and took the initiative to cut off the magic power that formed the body.
Emiya Shirou's body suddenly disappeared under Elysia's eyes in a burst of fluorescent light-like mist.
"?"
Seeing Emiya Shirou disappearing without warning, indescribable panic exploded deep in Elysia's mind, but before she could make any panicked movements, Emiya Shirou's voice rang again in the depths of her mind,
"You see, your family members are not normal human beings. Even if my body disappears, I will become a spiritual boy and stay with you all the time. Beside."
As if confirming the correctness of this sentence, when the voice in her head stopped, Emiya Shirou's body appeared like a phantom in Elysia's eyes again.
Emiya Shirou, who had transformed from a spiritual body to a physical body again, raised his eyes, folded his arms around his chest, and looked directly at Elysia's stunned face with eyes full of teasing: "How is it? Are you surprised?"
"Okay..." Elysia opened her mouth, and the pink pupils that had been dimmed because of sadness and reluctance just now lit up, "Amazing!! Is my mother my guardian angel?!"
"Yes, I have never had the chance to confess to you." Emiya Shirou smiled, "Having said that, with your mind, you should have already noticed it."
Elysia's eyes flashed, and she put on an expression of sudden realization: "So, mom... no, the reason Emiya will never grow up is because you are not an ordinary person, but a guardian angel that belongs to me?"
"Uh..." Although he wanted to refute the words "belongs to me", Emiya Shirou thought about it, since the person who signed the contract with him at present was only Elysia.
'So at least in this simulated copy, I am indeed a Servant that only belongs to her.'
There is nothing to refute this description, so he nodded in approval, "Yes, didn't I teach you? Normally, the mother of a child will only be an adult woman, so... unfortunately, I am not an ordinary human being, nor can I be counted as your real 'mother'. Are you a little disappointed?"
"Disappointed?" Elysia chewed on the two words and shook her head violently, "How could I be disappointed? Rather, the person who has been taking care of me is actually an angel or something... ...Is there a more beautiful and dreamy story than this?"
"No! This is not a story that happened in a book!" Elysia's eyes became brighter and brighter with her words, "It's too wonderful! Such a romantic thing can still happen in reality!"
"Uh…" Seeing that Elysia completely washed away the depression she had not long ago, she regained her spirits in an instant.
Emiya Shirou couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
Although he guessed that if his identity was revealed, Elysia might temporarily forget her previous sadness, but... the actual effect was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.
"Wait! If Emiya is my guardian angel, does that mean..."
"Even if I leave here, Emiya will always follow me?" After saying these two sentences, Elysia brought her tear-stained face close to Emiya Shirou's eyes.
Her pink pupils unabashedly brimming with extremely strong anticipation.
