"That's right. It's you."
Ignoring the restless reactions around him, Shirou Emiya continued calmly.
"Don't underestimate yourself, Godou Kusanagi. You are a man with the potential to beco a Campione."
"? A Campione?"
Godou Kusanagi, who already knew what a Campione was from earlier explanations, pointed at himself reflexively. His face was filled with disbelief.
The people around Shirou Emiya were no better.
Shock spread through the room.
"Please forgive my presumption, Your Majesty."
Erica stepped forward, her voice tight but respectful.
"Are you saying that this man before us truly has the potential to beco a Campione?"
"That's right."
Shirou Emiya glanced around, taking in their expressions one by one.
"In fact, based on the clues that already exist, I've seen the future."
The room grew quieter.
"If I hadn't intervened," he continued evenly, "a certain knight would have co to this island."
"She would have t Godou Kusanagi."
"At that ti, he would have beco acquainted with Verethragna."
"Centered around the Protheus Stone Slabs he carried, the two would have been drawn together."
He paused briefly, letting the image settle.
"After returning the stone slab, the mischievous Lucrezia would have handed it back to Godou Kusanagi."
"Not out of malice," Shirou Emiya said, tone flat. "But to prevent that knight-too proud for her own good-from going off to slay a god and getting herself killed."
"The result?"
"Godou Kusanagi, already familiar with Verethragna, would use the Protheus Stone Slabs to steal a portion of his power."
"And finally..."
Shirou Emiya's gaze sharpened.
"During the battle between Verethragna and kal, he would deliver the finishing blow."
"And thus, a new Campione would be born."
Silence.
Absolute silence filled the living room.
Everyone present was digesting Shirou Emiya's deduction.
"This is too far-fetched, Your Majesty!"
Erica finally broke the stillness, her voice heated.
Forgetting herself, she even dropped the honorific.
"There are too many coincidences! The logic simply doesn't hold!"
"That's right," Shirou Emiya replied calmly. "It is far-fetched."
Erica froze.
"...It is?"
"But."
The single word halted all movent.
Shirou Emiya looked around slowly.
"Turning the impossible into the possible."
"Overcoming unreasonable odds."
"Reaching the most rational outco despite everything."
"That," he said evenly, "is the fortune of a Campione."
Campiones were not simply strong.
They were lucky.
So lucky that their fortune could only be called destiny.
That was why such a saying existed in this world.
It was not that ordinary people slew gods and beca Campiones.
It was that only those who were destined to beco Campiones could slay gods.
The gap between humans and Heretic Gods was too vast.
Without overwhelming fortune, it was impossible to cross.
"Unfortunately," Shirou Emiya continued, "this ti, the Campione was ."
"But," he added lightly, "I believe you may still have other opportunities in the future."
With that, he casually tossed the Protheus Stone Slabs back.
Godou Kusanagi instinctively caught them.
"T-This is...?"
He stared at the stone slab in his hands, completely confused.
Shirou Emiya had spoken of futures and miracles, but none of it felt real to him. He wasn't soone who sought conflict. He had only just begun to grasp this strange world.
The weight in his hands felt unreal.
"It's yours."
Shirou Emiya waved his hand dismissively, a faint smile on his face.
"In soone else's hands, this thing might be aningless."
"But in your hands..."
"Who knows? It might cause a miracle."
"I'm curious about that miracle."
Godou Kusanagi fell silent.
He gently traced the surface of the stone slab.
Accept it?
Refuse it?
He didn't know.
After a long pause, he finally asked earnestly, "Then... did you bring here because you wanted to talk to about sothing?"
"Of course."
Shirou Emiya rested his hands behind his head, completely unguarded.
"Your potential interferes with my plan."
"As you interact with Verethragna, under the influence of your absurd fortune, you might use the Protheus Stone Slabs to steal part of his authority."
"If that happens," he said plainly, "even if I kill him, I won't obtain his authority."
"That would an everything I've done was pointless."
"So I brought you here instead."
Shirou Emiya turned his gaze toward Lucrezia.
"This child is a friend of your friend."
"You'll take care of him for now."
"Until Verethragna is dealt with, this island is extrely dangerous."
"He'll be safest here."
"Yes," Lucrezia replied instantly. "Your subordinate understands."
She stepped forward, wrapped an arm around Godou Kusanagi's neck, and grinned.
"If you're Ichiro's descendant, then let Grandma take good care of you!"
"Eh-?!"
"Miss Lucrezia, what are you doing?!"
Ignoring his panicked protests, Lucrezia dragged him upstairs by the neck without hesitation.
Their voices quickly disappeared.
Watching their retreating figures, Shirou Emiya curled his lips slightly.
Then he turned toward the two won still kneeling.
"Now," he said, "it's your turn."
"Erica!"
Liliana tugged on Erica's sleeve, snapping her out of her thoughts.
The two imdiately knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty," they said in unison. "Please give your command."
"I recall," Shirou Emiya said casually, "that you are both geniuses of the local magical societies."
"Young ladies from prestigious magic families, correct?"
"Before Your Majesty," Erica replied honestly, "those titles an nothing."
They didn't know what Shirou Emiya wanted.
But neither of them dared to take it lightly.
"In that case."
Shirou Emiya smiled gently.
"You will represent your respective magical societies."
"And pledge your allegiance to ."
"...What?"
Their hearts skipped.
Fear crept in instantly.
Although their societies were nominally under the King of Swords, changing allegiance so casually could provoke punishnt. Even if they believed the King of Swords likely wouldn't act, they couldn't make that decision on their own.
"I know you can't decide this yourselves," Shirou Emiya said calmly.
"But you can convey my request to your leaders."
He paused.
"This is not an invitation."
"It is a command."
His tone remained gentle.
But the weight of a Campione pressed down unmistakably.
Shirou Emiya didn't enjoy forcing others.
But ti was limited.
And when it ca to brute force-
His was harder.
