I'm Not A Master, I'm A Director (Creating Fate Movie In Nasuverse)

Despite barely being able to stand, despite being covered in wounds, and despite his mind being so muddled that he could hardly think, this time Shirou Emiya finally didn't lose to himself.

"Ha… ha… ha… huff…"

Shirou Emiya was panting heavily, desperately holding back a strong urge to vomit.

"Did I miscalculate?"

Archer finally noticed the change in Shirou, but his contemptuous attitude didn't change.

"I've heard that some magi can summon spirits and possess their past selves, allowing them to learn past skills and magic. It seems that while fighting me, your skills have also improved."

Shirou, gasping for breath, had no strength to respond. 

Just blocking Archer's attacks had drained all his energy.

Archer saw that his opponent wouldn't answer and let out a disdainful snort.

"Hmph—"

His red coat billowing, Archer kicked Shirou away.

The red-haired boy's back hit the rubble, leaving a trail of crimson.

"Ah—cough!"

Shirou coughed painfully. 

After the battle just now, his body was on the brink of death, both externally and internally.

He was like an old, worn-out car that had run out of fuel but was still trying to speed at 200 miles per hour, kept going only by the lubrication oil. 

It wouldn't be surprising if he stopped at any moment.

"It ends here, Shirou Emiya."

Archer's voice echoed in the vast, ruined hall.

"The foolishness of appearing here despite knowing you can't win. You've spent your whole life trapped by a meaningless ideal, never having your own thoughts—a Faker. Is this what you've come to understand about your true self?!"

Shirou didn't respond, but his eyes said it all.

However, this only made Archer more disgusted.

"Your desire to save others is fundamentally wrong! As a human, you are severely flawed!"

"Shirou Emiya, from the start, you were a Faker that should never have existed."

With each sentence, Archer took a step forward.

He wasn't in a hurry to finish off Shirou Emiya. 

Rather than physically destroying him, he preferred to crush his past self mentally.

"Projection complete…"

In response to Archer were the black and white twin swords.

Kanshou and Bakuya, the famous swords named after ancient swordsmiths.

"Aaaaaaahhh—!"

Shirou roared as he charged, swinging his attack at Archer.

Until his remaining magic and strength were completely burned out, at that moment, Shirou Emiya was betting everything he had!

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"This guy is really annoying," Aoko said unhappily. 

By now, her favorability toward EMIYA had dropped to almost zero.

The only reason it hadn't completely bottomed out was because UBW was currently her favorite TV show.

To Aoko, EMIYA was simply bullying. Shirou Emiya was already struggling to breathe, yet EMIYA wasn't even out of breath.

Watching him continue to deliver his cool lines with that calm face just made Aoko angry.

Actually, it wasn't just Aoko. 

Because Shinji deliberately put two characters in different states in the same shot to create contrast, many viewers started feeling sorry for Shirou Emiya.

Shirou's sister Illya was even crying as she watched.

"Onii-chan~ you're so pitiful," Illya complained, tears in her eyes. "Why don't you take better care of yourself?"

"I'd like to."

Shirou scratched his nose with his finger and replied helplessly, "I was exhausted during that scene, but that guy (Archer) wouldn't let me off, saying that filming in that state would make it feel more real."

"Huh?? Was it that tough for you while filming, Onii-chan?"

Illya was so surprised that even her tears retreated.

"Why can't you just rest whenever you want while filming?" Illya couldn't quite understand why Shirou had to go through so much hardship.

"Of course, who would dare not give our Illya a break?" Shirou affectionately patted his sister's head.

Setting aside the laws protecting minors and the regulations for child actors, if Shinji dared to mistreat Illya, Shirou figured his old man would be pointing a submachine gun at Shinji's forehead.

In fact, Shinji did bear some responsibility for allowing EMIYA's Spartan-style filming methods. 

However, because EMIYA was such an obvious target for mockery, Shirou had forgotten about Shinji altogether.

It wasn't just Shirou; even the Heroic Spirits had forgotten their Masters, placing all the blame squarely on EMIYA.

"Hey, kid."

Iskandar crossed his arms and teased, "I didn't think much of it on set, but looking back, you really crossed the line."

"Indeed," Enkidu agreed, rubbing his chin. "Shirou's gasps were all genuine. I think you should have been gentler."

"Let me explain," Cu Chulainn raised his hand, forcibly trying to excuse Archer. "It's not just this scene; every time this guy acts opposite that kid (Shirou), he focuses on tormenting him. If it's not verbal taunts, it's physical punishment. So, this dark-skinned guy exhausting the poor kid is just his usual operation."

"Cu Chulainn, are you trying to provoke me?" EMIYA's eyes grew dangerous.

"What, you want to fight?" Cu Chulainn retorted, not backing down. "You'll have to wait until I finish watching TV."

"Don't worry, I'll let you finish," EMIYA sneered.

At that moment, the battle between Shirou Emiya and Heroic Spirit Emiya was reaching its climax.

"It's not wrong! My ideals are not wrong!"

Shirou Emiya shouted with all his might. 

Even if he was a faker, this much was certain.

He wished for everyone's happiness.

This feeling was undeniably genuine, so Shirou Emiya would never back down.

With a determination so fierce it was as if he was coughing up blood, he thrust his sword directly into Archer's chest.

Crack

The sound of a chest being pierced by a blade.

Shirou Emiya had pierced Archer's chest.

Thud!

The sound of something heavy breaking through the television.

EMIYA had used the projected Gáe Bolg to stab through the TV.

"Hey! Archer!!! Do you realize what you've done?! It was getting to the best part!!"

Cu Chulainn clutched his head, letting out a scream.

"Archer, why did you destroy the TV? Were you that desperate to avoid letting us see you get owned?" Enkidu was also baffled by EMIYA's actions.

Gilgamesh's eyes gleamed with fury: "Hey, Faker! How do you plan to compensate me? I've been waiting for this episode for a long time!"

He was particularly looking forward to the scene where he places Illya's heart into Shinji's body.

Gilgamesh, who had a strong grudge against Shinji, had been eagerly waiting to see him suffer for a long time.

And now, after finally waiting for this moment, this was the outcome?!

How could he possibly be satisfied with that?

However, faced with the outraged Heroic Spirits, EMIYA calmly pulled out his phone.

On the screen was an email, displaying a picture and a message.

The photo was of the now-destroyed TV in the company, and the message read: [Shinji, Cu Chulainn destroyed the TV out of frustration over his limited screen time, using his spear to stab it.]

"Archer!! Wasn't it you who wrecked the TV?!" Cu Chulainn roared in anger, to which EMIYA simply shrugged and responded with a dismissive snort.

"Hmph, the TV was destroyed by Gáe Bolg. Who do you think is the prime suspect?"

Serves you right for mocking me earlier.

Seeing Cu Chulainn's agitation made EMIYA secretly thrilled.

In truth, EMIYA had already decided to destroy the TV before the most embarrassing scenes (at least in his opinion) aired.

It didn't really matter if others saw it, but there was no way he'd let these Heroic Spirits see it.

In EMIYA's tsundere mind, the upcoming scenes were just too humiliating, and if these guys saw them, they might mock him about it forever.

Of course, the other Heroic Spirits would catch up on the episode later, but by then, they wouldn't be gathered like they were now.

This way, their memories of those scenes wouldn't be as vivid.

EMIYA had even prepared himself for a scolding from Shinji, but when Cu Chulainn had taunted him face-to-face, EMIYA had to stir up some trouble.

Whether Shinji believed it or not was one thing, but whether EMIYA would cause trouble was another matter.

However, with all the Heroic Spirits there wanting to keep watching TV, EMIYA's actions had clearly incited their wrath.

"Hey, Faker. Either you project a new TV for me right now, or you go out and get one!" Gilgamesh demanded.

"As if I could project a TV?"

"You managed to project the latest fishing rod to compete with the pup in a fishing contest, didn't you?" Gilgamesh was clearly unconvinced. "Either project it or go buy a new TV!"

"I'm not going. Besides, even if I went to buy one now, it'd be too late, wouldn't it?"

"In that case, you die!"

Gilgamesh angrily drew a long sword from his treasury.

Seeing this, Enkidu quickly intervened: "Gil, you can't use Noble Phantasms! You'll wreck the room."

"Tch."

Unhappy, Gilgamesh resorted to swinging his fists instead.

The battle on the TV had ended, but the battle outside the TV had just begun.

Gilgamesh was the first to strike, followed by Cu Chulainn. 

Then Enkidu and Iskandar joined in, and eventually, even Diarmuid, usually the well-behaved Heroic Spirit, got involved.

Only Yan Qing didn't participate in this "Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail War." Instead, he quietly took photos and secretly sent an email.

[Master, these guys got drunk and rowdy, and they smashed the TV. —Yan Qing]

[PS: Gilgamesh destroyed the TV with his Gáe Bolg, but Archer is blaming Cu Chulainn.]

As a professional troublemaker, Yan Qing knew he was the real expert at stirring things up.
