Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 68

Chaos reigned at the Fuyuki City Administrative Office. Despite being in the Shinto district, the office was in a state of frenzy over the events unfolding in the Miyama district.

Mayor Himuro was frantically trying to keep up with the situation.

(P.S. Michiyuki Himuro is the mayor of Fuyuki City in Fate/School Life. He is the father of Kane Himuro)

"A giant!" someone cried out. "There's a giant in Fuyuki City!"

The mythical monster had become a reality.

"Does that mean Ultraman exists too?" someone else wondered. "Come quickly if you exist!"

As the mayor sat there, he couldn't help but recall the words of his mentor when he was appointed to serve in Fuyuki City. His teacher had told him, "In case of any strange events, reach out to the local priest of the Church first and then the head of the Tohsaka family.'

However, Himuro realized that Risei the priest was now a victim of assassination, lying unconscious in the hospital. And the head of the Tohsaka family, Tokiomi, was also similarly affected, with one of his hands being amputated and him on the brink of collapse, making it impossible to communicate with him.

At that moment, Himuro remembered his teacher's secondary advice. "In case you can't reach them, seek the assistance of the four exorcists."

This testimony dates back to a few decades ago when the mayor was a passionate young man. At the time, his teacher imparted a final lesson before passing away. The four exorcist families still held some influence then, but over the years, they had lost their prominence, with only the Ryougi family remaining.

Using his authority, Himuro easily reached out to the Ryougi family and entrusted them with the task at hand. The head of the family repeatedly assured him that they were ready to act.

Though somewhat relieved, the mayor took no chances and also alerted the Japan Self-Defense Force and the US military stationed in Okinawa for additional protection.

It remains uncertain whether this decision was wise or not, but in hindsight, contacting the Ryougi family proved to be a mistake.

After hanging up the phone, the head of the Ryougi family issued a strict order, "No one is allowed to go to Fuyuki City, under any circumstances!"

As an exorcist family, they were acutely aware of the dangers that Fuyuki City posed, and they knew that what lay ahead was not something a human body could endure. It was a suicide mission!

...

Waver contemplated to himself, acknowledging the daunting adversary before them. 'How can he remain so composed and level-headed?' he thought. 'If I were in his shoes, I would surely be trembling with fear and unable to think clearly.'

He voiced these concerns to Iskandar, who responded with a warm smile. "It matters not if he is but a child wielding the power of a Servant," he said. "In this moment, he is a hero, and that fact alone supersedes his age."

Irisviel interjected, "If Caster's words hold any truth, what sort of future lies ahead for this child possessing a Servant's Saint Graph?" Her curiosity was piqued by the prospect.

Iskandar responded with utmost conviction, "There is no doubt in my mind that he shall become the greatest hero of this era!"

Waver can't help but feel envious of such a high evaluation. 'Would I be able to handle it if I were in his shoes?' he wondered.

He yearned for a life with glory like that, but he didn't realize that was far from Shirou's true desire. The shining exterior could be seen by anyone, but who knew the bitterness he may have held in his heart? Everyone had their own story and no one was truly listening.
