''Do you have any idea what exactly happened?'' I asked as confused as earlier not understand what he meant.
''Well...you see Shirou-kun, what you saw were the lives of parallel versions of you, when you touched the jewel it made a link between you and other versions of yourself, but that's not all.''
''What do you mean?'' I thought what he's saying sounds kind of crazy, but considering what I saw in my life I'm ready to believe anything.
''You see while you were passed out I examined you and reached a conclusion, the memories you saw merged with you own.''
''Merged?'' I ask confused.
''Yes the memories, experiences and emotions of the other Emiya Shirou's became your own.''
''I think I understand, but these memories confuse me, I feel like not myself anymore.'' I said as I was looking in a mirror in the room, even though I look the same something just feels very different.
''Then answer this, who do you love?'' he asked with a mischievous smile.
''Huh it's simple, it's Sabe-'' I stopped myself out of embarrassment... even though at my age it shouldn't affect me anymore.
''See your still the same, while you gained their memories, experiences and emotion's they didn't change you, otherwise you might have said you loved Rin Totsaka or Sakura Mato which some of your counter parts did.''
''But let's see if the event caused what I believed it did.'' he replied as the childish smirk disappeared.
''Shirou try projecting something.''
I don't understand why but simply nodded and started projecting.
''Trace on.''
I decided to trace Kansho and Bakuya but I was speechless.
''Ho ho so I was right it did happen.'' he said while holding his chin with his hand.
''What going on?! The quality of my projections increased and the level of stress on my magic circuits was reduced drastically!'' I said with awe.
''You already know the answer just remember.''
It was then that I remembered the fight with Archer as I learned the secrets about projection, the battle with Gilgamesh and my path to become a hero of justice.
''You understand know, what you might think of an inconvenience is actually gift of the other Emiya Shirou's that took a different path than you.''
I actually found it interesting but it all was gone when I began digging deeper into those memories... a tragedy was about to take place... my bright face suddenly turned dark as I learned the truth.
''How long was I out?'' I ask emotionless.
''2 days.'' he said with a serious tone.
''So the day after tomorrow I will be executed huh?'' I ask emotionless.
''So you saw that one's memories huh.''
''It already started. Before you gave me this mission I was confronted by a calamity which had the potential of killing one hundred people before me, I decided to "make a contract" with the World to become a hero capable of producing miracles and become a Heroic Spirit after my death. I believed I could save both the lives of the dying people before me and save even more people as a hero after my death. Although I desperately fought to end a war, tomorrow I will be branded as the mastermind behind that war and subsequently executed because of the betrayal of my own allies.''
''And then you will become the counter guardian Emiya and exist to eliminate the possible threats of the world.''
''How did he know? I can't seem to grasp his level of information gathering.''
''Or at least that is what is supposed to happen, but I thought what if we can cheat fate.'' he said with a devilish smirk on his face. I was beginning to get scarred.
''Well Shirou that's why I sent you for that jewel, to give you a chance for a new life.'' he said while he was showing the jewel I secured.
''Huh?'' I blinked in a funny manner to this.
''Here's my offer: tomorrow night before you will be captured and executed for a crime you never committed I will send you to a world that is cut off by our world's grasps.'' he said while taking a dramatic pose.
''So you would just let me go to God knows where?'' I ask with a stupefied face.
''As ridiculous as it sounds it's not a joke, while I travelled to different worlds I came across a world that would be called a paradise for a mage overflowing with prana and without the existence of the WORLD or the existence of the counter force.'' he said while I was in pure shock.
''The counter force is a linked existence throughout worlds, even if you escape to a different world if that world has a counter force it will strike you the moment you enter... but this world is your salvation.''
''... I just can't believe what his saying, he is telling me that the only way for to not die and become a soulless killing machine was to in exile into an uncharted world.''
''Why? Why would you risk so much just to help me, a third rate magus like me, there must be more to it isn't it? '' I couldn't help not believing him, even if he knew about my destiny and had a means to stop it why would he do it, we weren't exactly friends, the only reason he would do it would be if he had something to gain from it.
''Dang you sure are paranoid one but your right, I'm not doing it just to help you, even thought that world doesn't have a counter force somehow I can't maintain myself there for too long because otherwise I will be transporter to a random world and believe me it's a real pain in the butt to find my way back here. '' He released an annoyed sigh as he seemed too remembered past experiences.
''So you want to send me there as a spy?'' I ask in serious tone considering it could be dangerous.
''Mmmmm not quite, more like an observer, just live an everyday life and observe how their world works, I will craft you an item similar to my sword but with a surveillance function so I can study that world.''
''It's not a bad deal you know, I get to have my curiosity satisfied and you will get to live a normal life.''
''I'm not sure what to say, you're telling me to defy my destiny and go in to an unknown world.'' although the thought of living a possible quiet and peaceful life seems very tempting it would be meaningless without her.
