Chapter 417 Memories!

With that, Shiro slowly walked out of the camp. Shisui and the others looked at each other and followed Shiro.

As he walked, memories began to flood back to Shiro: memories of Ryoka and Suzune practicing magic, memories of Ryoka and Suzune clumsily learning common sense, and finally, memories of his conversations with Okisuke before the war.

"Tsk~ Shiro, I didn't expect you to really become an excellent ninja as you said before. Ha~, should I say it's worthy of you?"

Shiro, Okisuke and Aoame were sitting at a table in an izakaya. Okisuke was leaning on the windowsill with one hand and talking casually. Combined with his tone, he seemed quite handsome.

Unfortunately, slaps in the face always come quickly.

"Huh? I remember you saying before that Shiro's efforts were in vain? You also said that even a genius is working hard, but it's useless to work hard?" Qingyu tilted his head slightly and looked at Chongjie sideways.

There was a playful expression on his face.

"That's...that's..." Chongjie stammered, unable to explain the reason. He turned to Qingyu in shame and anger, "Damn it! Qingyu, we should be in the same group, okay?"

"Huh~ Who is in the same group with you?"

Shiro looked at the two noisy people and shook his head helplessly, "You two, stop making trouble and talk about business. This time your battlefield is in the Land of Earth."

"This organization has been decided long ago, and it's not easy for me to change it. In terms of the degree of danger, the Water Country is more dangerous, so it might be better for you to go to the Earth Country battlefield."

Hearing this, Okisuke and Qingyu stopped fighting, smiled at each other, and then turned to look at Shiro: "Don't worry, we have been prepared for the war. Don't underestimate us. After all, we are ninjas too!"

"Ha, I know. It's just a safer bet. By the way, I've already told Senior Orochimaru that if you have any difficulties, you can go to him and he will help you."

"Okay, okay, why are you nagging like Mr. Yamada? Don't worry, we will take care of ourselves. But you, you are the main force on the battlefield, you must be careful."

"Yeah, even though Chongjie is stupid, what he said is quite right. You are so famous now, you will definitely be targeted. You must be more careful."

Chong Jie was about to refute Qing Yu's description of him, but when he saw Qing Yu's sidelong glance, he immediately became timid and stopped talking. There was no other way. Special times require special treatment.

"Ha~ You guys~" Shiro shook his head again, "Don't worry, don't worry about me. By the way, what have you been busy with recently? Why do I feel like you have a lot on your plate?"

Looking at the confused Shiro, Okisuke and Qingyu looked at each other sweetly, then turned around to face Shiro. Qingyu took Okisuke's hand and put her head on his shoulder.

"I was originally planning to tell you all at once, but since you asked, I'll tell you first. Qingyu and I are getting married!"

"!!!" Shiro stopped the wine glass that was about to reach his mouth and looked at the two people leaning against each other in shock.

"No, if I remember correctly, you seem to be the same age as me? I haven't even found someone to pursue, and you are going to get married?" As he said this, Shilang put down the wine glass in his hand.

"That's your fault, and has nothing to do with me and Okisuke." Qing Yu rolled her eyes at Shiro, and the two looked at each other sweetly, "Besides, we have been together for a long time, it's almost time."

"Of course, most importantly, the war is coming!"

Listening to Okisuke's heavy topic, the smile on Shiro's face gradually disappeared.

He probably knows why Okisuke and the others are in a hurry to get married.

Looking at Shilang who seemed to be thinking about something, Chongjie smiled and said, "It seems that you have thought about it too. Although it is embarrassing, it is the truth. Qingyu and I are scared."

"We are just ordinary people, without any outstanding talents. We are well aware of this, so we originally just planned to muddle through life. After all, as you know, it is not easy for a ninja to retire."

"I do simple tasks every day to make ends meet. Since I don't have to spend money on spiritual practice, I have a very good quality of life. Although I can't become rich, at least I have enough food and clothing."

"And who knows, if luck strikes and we give birth to a genius, we'll be even better off!" Chongjie smiled, and then his expression changed as he lowered his head.

"But, Shiro, the war has begun again! It hasn't even been ten years, and the war has begun again! And it's even more brutal than the last time! Even if we are lucky enough to escape this war, we don't know when we will die. So..."

Having said this, Okisuke stopped and didn't continue. His twitching shoulders showed his mood at the moment. Qingyu patted Okisuke's back and gave Shiro an apologetic smile.

However, Shiro also saw the same bitterness as Okisuke in that smile.

Shiro took a sip of the wine glass on the table and looked around at the ninjas who were venting their anger in the izakaya. It seemed as if he had returned to his days in the logistics unit during World War II.

He understood Okisuke very well, because he had just arrived in the ninja world and had not yet activated the system when he was in the same situation. Transmigrating was not a pleasant experience, especially in a world ravaged by war. If it were not for the system, he would probably be no different from Okisuke now.

No hope for the future

Shiro sighed, "Do you need my help? It's a little troublesome, but if it's just the two of you, it's no problem."

Hearing this, Okisuke adjusted his mentality, wiped his tears, looked up at Shiro and shook his head, "No need, this is just one of our plans, there is no need to make such a fuss, and besides, we are not that fragile, let's talk about it after the battle."

Shiro looked at Okisuke deeply, knowing that they didn't want to trouble him and were worried that it would affect his future. Of course, they also had a little bit of self-esteem.

Although Shiro didn't care about the impact, he respected the decision of Okisuke and the others. As for safety, with Orochimaru around, there was no need to worry about it.

"But there's something you might be able to do, and you might be able to say it."

"Hmm? What's up?"

"If possible, I hope you can end the war as soon as possible while ensuring your own safety!" Okisuke relaxed his serious expression and said with a smile, "That way, we can be free as soon as possible, haha."

However, faced with this request, which Shiro could do now, he did not agree immediately, but just looked at Okisuke and the others quietly.

For the others, even if it meant for them to retire now, Shiro could do it, no matter how high the price was, Shiro could accept it, but this was the only thing.

“.I’ll do my best.”

"Hahaha, I believe you can do it! You're Emiya Shirou!"

The past scenes passed by my eyes, and finally, they were fixed on the smiling faces of Chongjie and Qingyu.

At this time, as the memories ended, Shiro also walked to the front line. At the same time, a golden ripple also unfolded behind Shiro.

"I'm sorry, Okisuke, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
