Chapter 251 - Darkness Poisoning

"So Gu Fei and Kaede were training with Kotarou-kun," Setsuna said who was currently in her child form along with Asuna and Chisame. "To the extent that their combat training became a bit chaotic and overdone and the three of them is fainted?"

"Well, Kotarou is trying to use Magia Erebea so he can fight equally with Kaede and Gu Fei," Asuna said who was sitting next to Setsuna. "But because he can't control Magia Erebea really well, that's why when he uses Magia Erebea Kotarou loses control and the dark magic energy that he infused his body overflows and causes enough explosions to knock Kaede and Gu Fei unconscious."

"Fortunately that stupid brat didn't put a large amount of darkness magic energy into his body so he, Kaede and Gu Fei didn't suffer any serious injuries," Chisame said as she patted her face. "Sigh and because of those three idiots with all muscle brains, we have to go shopping at the market. Even though today's shopping task should be the responsibility of the three of them."

"You don't have to protest like that, Chisame-chan," Asuna said as she drank the juice she ordered. "Thanks to this shopping assignment, we were able to get out of Emiya's residence and go for a walk to see Ostia. Look at the bright side please!"

"I'm a Hikikomori who doesn't like going out of the house you know!" Chisame shouted. "Don't compare me to a wild girl from the prairie like you! Kagurazaka Asuna!"

Chisame's words did not make Asuna feel hurt or offended, because Chisame's words accurately described her character and behavior. The thing that made Asuna angry was the laughter from Setsuna who was currently amused by Chisame's words.

But the anger disappeared. When Asuna accidentally saw Negi who was in the crowd dealing with a very dangerous enemy. The enemy that caused the members of Ala Alba to scatter.

"Setsuna-san, Chiu-chan," Asuna said with a pale face. "We must immediately help Negi, because right now Negi is in a very serious situation."

"What do you mean Asuna-san?" Asked Setsuna. "I don't understand at all?"

"Negi-Sensei is in danger? Is there really anyone in this city who can harm him except, Shirou-kun, Negi-Sensei's father, the muscular daruma Rakan and Evangeline?" Chisame asked.

"Yes," Asuna replied with the index finger of her right hand pointing at Negi and Fate. "Take a look over there."

Chisame and Setsuna's hearts skipped a beat when they both saw Negi facing Fate Averruncus. A Level S enemy whose strength was far above Negi's.

"Why is that living doll able to exist in this city and is currently facing off against Negi-Sensei," Chisame said whose face had turned as pale as Asuna's.

"This is really bad," Setsuna said. "Even if Asuna-san and I try to help Negi-sensei though, it won't change anything because Fate Averruncus is too tough."

"I think only Shirou-kun can match or defeat that monster," Asuna said. "Because as someone who's been a victim of the Fate Averruncus, I know for sure how strong that monster really is."

"So what do we need to do now?" Chisame asked.

"Hmm, since Negi-Sensei is currently in danger I think Shirou-Sama will soon appear as usual," Setsuna replied. "So for now we don't have to do anything."

"If you don't want to come with me that's fine, because I have no malicious intent to kill you or kidnap you. Because I just want to talk peacefully with you," Fate said. "So we can just stand here and have a conversation without going anywhere."

"How can I trust a monster like you who always does evil!" Negi shouted with an angry face.

"The kid who always feels hopeless like you doesn't know who I am and my group is and what the goals of my group are, it's easy to get carried away and get burned by the hatred you have. Like a brainless stupid child," Fate said. "Why don't you listen to the words and stories I want to tell you."

"You want to have a conversation with my little bro without involving me?" Asked Shirou who was no longer wearing Alucard's form and appeared from Negi's shadow. "I won't allow it."

"Emiya Shirou, I expected that it would appear as soon as I approached your stupid brother," Fate said. "But I didn't expect you to show up so soon."

"Teleportation using shadows is one of the fastest transportation techniques," Shirou said who was completely out of Negi's shadow. "Besides, if I let you be with Negi, you might end up directing his easily carried away thoughts in a negative direction. That's why I had to come quickly to prevent that."

"You can even guess what I want to do, huh?" Fate said. "Pretty impressive."

"Impressive? I don't think so," Shirou said. "Considering Cosmo Entelecheia is a terrorist group that is very cliché and predictable. Like the crime organizations in anime and manga."

***

"It's a cliche," Fate said. "I don't think there's anything wrong with that word, because Cosmo Elentecheia imitates a lot of evil plots from novels, anime, movies, or manga."

"You're not ashamed to admit that!?" Negi shouted.

"Why should I feel ashamed because what I said is the truth," Fate said. "Because even though Cosmo Entelecheia's and our plans are predictable, so far you guys haven't been able to stop our plans at all."

"Oh, we can definitely stop the remnants of my father's old enemy from trying to destroy the world," Shirou said with a smile. "With all the power I have I can definitely stop you and Cosmo Entelecheia from destroying the world."

"You do have power on my level, Emiya Shirou," Fate said. "But you alone won't be enough to stop my plans, you're not strong enough to do that."

"I alone am not enough to stop Cosmo Entelecheia's plans," Shirou said with a face that looked very confident. "But by my side there are some Level S fighters, who are strong enough to help me, so like I said before your group the Cosmo Entelecheia, I will definitely destroy it."

"Such overconfidence will only bring trouble to you in the future Emiya Shirou," Fate said. "Your nature is really similar to the Thousand Master, your father. Do you want to be a hero who defends justice like your father?"

"No, unfortunately such childish ideals have been out of my mind for such a long time," Shirou said. "The most important thing for me right now is to stop Cosmo Entelecheia and go home with everyone precious to me to Japan, I don't want to worry about anything else."

"You want to take a different path from your father, huh, this is quite surprising. Even though I thought you would take the same path as the Thousand Masters," Fate said with a cold smile appearing on his face. "You are only similar to your father in your face but you are very different in nature."

"The one who aspires to be like my father is my little brother Negi," Shirou said. "And I respect and support his ideals. Even though I myself did not take the same path as my father and my little brother."
