(Thanks for the reward and support for discovering one hundred ways men lie)
His parents are alive, he has no brothers and sisters, he has no pets, his family's financial situation is average, he is friends with the children in the neighborhood, he has no bad interests, and he has good academic performance - this is Shirou's past life. Everything can be described as "ordinary", but There is "happiness" in the ordinary.
However, a fire in Fuyuki City caused by a magician destroyed everything. Shirou was saved by Lauda who was passing by, but everyone he knew lost their lives.
Since there are no relatives willing to take over the burden, Shirou can only stay in the social welfare institution. But it just so happened that not only did Lauda suddenly remember his youthful dream and stay in Fuyuki City, but the two of them met again in the vast sea of people.
Shirou didn't think too much, or a child with a simple mind couldn't think too much. He just wanted to become a hero like his savior, a set of tactics of "thank you in person + follow him home + stalk him" This made Lauda, who was not good at driving away children forcefully, acquiesce to his existence.
It's a pity that since Lauda is not a social person, even if they live in the same house, they have almost no substantive communication. Without communication, there is no relationship. This is the fundamental reason why Lauda was driven away after Fedon arrived. .
If it is an ordinary child, he may cry for a while and accept the reality and face the rest of his life;
If it is a child with a bad temperament, he may forget the grace of saving his life and resent his efforts for not accepting him as a waste;
If it is a child with low intelligence, he may intentionally or unintentionally spread the information that "Lauda is a magician";
However, Shirou is a kind and stubborn child——
"..." Lauda looked down at Shirou, whom he hadn't seen for a while, and planned to close the door without saying a word.
Shirou quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Lauda! I'm very sorry for causing you trouble so easily!"
"..." Lauda was silent for a moment, opened the door again, and quietly watched Shirou waiting for the next step.
"The blond uncle at that time was right. What I did couldn't be called justice at all! It was just greed under the guise of justice!" Shirou straightened his body, his eyes showing a will that was incompatible with his age, "In After that, I thought about it for a long time. Since justice is only a kind of personal self-satisfaction, then it is about the heart and not things. My idea of gaining the power to help others through practice is wrong, as long as it is within the scope of my own ability. Trying your best to help others is just!"
"?" Lauda tilted his head. He always felt that this was not the intention of Fedon's words at that time...
Shirou clenched his fists and said, "Helping others can satisfy my desire for justice, but! If I don't even repay your kindness, Mr. Lauda, my heart will always be damaged!"
"..." Lauda stared at Shirou. This was probably the first time he had seriously observed the red-haired child, but his answer would not change. He did not want his life with Eve and Lei to be disturbed, " No need, as long as you have the intention."
"I won't stay shamelessly for something that Mr. Lauda doesn't need again!" Shirou quickly took out a few dirty old books from his schoolbag, which were all about mechanical principles and automobile design. " From that day on, I have been working hard to learn about car maintenance. If Mr. Lauda still needs it, I can teach you!"
"???" Lauda blinked, showing a rare clear expression, and questioned, "...are you sure?"
"Yes! I've already practiced in the scrapyard!" Shirou nodded heavily, but seemed to remember something and turned away his head in embarrassment, "But... I'm not strong enough. Even removing a tire will take a long time. Some things require help from others..."
Lauda looked at Shirou carefully for a while, making sure that he was not joking, and couldn't help but said: "You don't have to go to this extent... I am not the hero you imagined. I just did it casually to save people."
"It's not important." Shirou shook his head and closed his eyes, "What I... admire is not Mr. Lauda, but the [Hero] who saved me from despair."

"Boss, is there something interesting - huh?" Feton, who had kicked through the dimensional wall to find someone accurately, looked at the red-haired boy holding piston ring removal pliers and an oil can next to Lauda, pressed his knuckles and said, "You... Don’t you kid know what is enough? You just stare at an honest person and bully him!”
"!?" The vicious expression, combined with the turbulent scene of dimensions behind Feiton, made Shirou, who had grown a few years older, freeze with fear, and he forgot to explain for a moment.
Lauda put down a car part that was covered with dust and had an old look, and said, "It's okay, I asked him to keep it."
Feiton looked at Lauda with a strange expression: "Hey, you are not really captured, are you? Wake up, although your two wives usually exist in the sword spirit state, they can also have babies. , don’t show your paternal and maternal qualities to your adopted son or disciple!”
"It's me who can't have children... My children will be terrible." Lauda is a container of God-killing will, and his offspring will not be anything normal. "Moreover, I have never regarded him as an adopted son or an apprentice. I just Treat him as a human being."
"Mr. Lauda...!" Shirou's eyes widened. Although he was still young, he could hear Lauda's recognition of him.
Feiton came closer to Shirou and asked curiously: "Hmph~ Does this mean there is something special about this kid?"
Shirou quickly put down what he was holding, straightened his back and replied, "I'm good at science and engineering, and I help out at Mr. Lauda's car repair shop!"
"Science and engineering?" Although a kid in elementary school said, "Science and engineering are full of contradictions," Feiton has seen even a genius of Tony Stark's level and can understand what the situation is.
By the way, Shirou is about as good as Tony Stark's leg hair. He is a crippled genius with excellent learning ability and mediocre research and development capabilities. He is born to engage in reverse development.
Lauda ignored Shirou's high-EQ answer that took care of his face, and told the truth: "He taught me how to repair cars, and this car repair shop is also run by him."
"Hmph~" Feiton knew that Lauda's reason for taking in Shirou was not limited to this, but he did not delve into it further. Some information had to be obtained by himself.
Shirou straightened his clothes, bowed to Feiton and said, "What happened back then caused trouble to Mr. Feiton, and I would like to thank Mr. Feiton for his guidance!"
"Huh? When did I guide you?" Back then, Shirou was just a nobody in Feiton's eyes, and I really don't remember what he said. "Well, at least he was polite, and it won't affect his mood in front of his eyes." qδ.net
Lauda was noncommittal and asked, "So...what's the matter?"
Feiton grinned and said with a smile: "Have you heard of the [Parallel World] theory? When I was looking through the dimensional files organized by the Space and Time Administration, I found a dimension that is highly similar to this dimension. I am interested in jumping left and right together. Comparison?"
