Fuyuki, 2004.
About 20 days remain until the Fifth Holy Grail War breaks out in February.
"Sigh... will rescue come?"
"The worldline is different, and time flows differently here too. Three days in the Fourth War's worldline would be about 30 minutes by Chaldea standards while Master was sleeping. The time it takes for the girls who just arrived to recognize this and come to rescue will probably be nearly a month here."
Not easy. About a month, huh. The currency Morgan made for me is actually plentiful. This status window stores not just mystic codes, but such items as well.
Since there are quite a few modern Japan background events, I have a lot of printed currency, so a month will be more than enough to live comfortably.
I see, a month. Me, Kama, Illya, and Sakura. The four of us will have to live together. Buying a house is a bit much, so I should secure lodging.
"Kama, can you use your charm for suggestion?"
"Yes. Ordinary humans and such, I can make them my slaves. Ufufu~"
Kama grins, pleased that her competence is recognized. Well, she is a goddess.
"Then let's solve lodging that way... But what's this."
Kama in adult mode clings to me, wrapping her arms around mine.
"Right now, here... The woman who can handle Master is just me, right...? Hehe♡ To monopolize Master like this... Fufufu."
Mischievous thoughts. But, she's right. I'm also a man with sexual desires. Living promiscuously for several days has made my libido vigorous, you see...
However.
"On the condition that you don't rape me."
"Meaning Master leads me? Hmm..."
"If you don't like it, forget it. I was going to love you as messily as you wanted, but if you're a stubborn goddess who prefers giving over receiving, I might as well go to a brothel."
"What...!"
"Don't like that?"
"That..."
"Kama is a good girl, right? I hope so... I also like Kama."
"... If you say that much, I can't exactly refuse."
"I'll hug you as sincerely as I did with Mashu."
"....."
Kama blushes and twirls her hair with her finger. Seems she doesn't dislike it. Easy, Kama.
That aspect is cute and I like it.
"I'm jealous..."
"Illya."
"If I use Mr. Hoglen's hammer, could I also...?"
"Please, let's not do that. Don't make me trash..."
"... I won't give up either~"
Illya says with a grin. Is it Kuro's influence, or because of Bond Level 10... Troublesome.
"Should we stay here?"
"Looks like it? Don't worry. It's different from the era you lived in, and I'm here, right?"
I stroke Sakura's head to reassure her... Then, shall I move as the mastermind?
Since I'm older, being a student is a bit much, so let's infiltrate as a teacher.
[Then, leave it to me~!]
And then, Illya's Ruby woke up.
========================
The usual commute to the academy.
It's the usual daily routine. Fuji-nee went ahead saying she had things to do, and I went to school with Sakura.
Before going to the classroom, I stopped by the student council room briefly at Issei's request.
"Hmm? Ah, Emiya-kun. Good morning."
"Dumpty-sensei?"
"Just stopped by, and you're fixing the heater? You're quite skilled?"
Dumpty, the student teacher who came about a month ago. Same age as Fuji-nee, a teacher we get along with.
"Yes. It's kind of a hobby..."
"I see. Then keep up the good work. I have things to do, so I'll be off~"
Dumpty leaves the student council room with a greeting. Somehow... He gives off a Fuji-nee-like atmosphere, but somehow reminds me of Kiritsugu.
After fixing the heater, the usual daily routine continues.
Shinji, as a former archery club member, asked me to do some cleaning, so I was about to do it...
"Emiya-kun."
"Tohsaka...?"
But Tohsaka was standing in front of the club room. What's going on?
"Nothing special... I just have some business with you for a moment."
"Business?"
"Yeah."
Somehow... For some reason, seeing Tohsaka makes my head feel a bit dazed. Why...
"Today, I want to go to your house... Is that okay?"
"... Uh, yeah, it's okay."
"Then let's go right away."
Tohsaka takes my hand and heads straight for the school gate. I need to clean the club room... It should be fine. Since Tohsaka wants to come to my house...
"This is your house? Not bad."
"..... Huh?"
... Huh? But, why did I bring Tohsaka to my house...?
"Tohsaka...?"
"Well, since it's come to this..."
Then, her blue eyes turn red. A beautiful red like Ruby's. And, her school uniform attire changes... Huh?
"Wh-what's with that outfit!?"
"Haa?"
"What's with that pitiful virgin-like reaction. Really, completely different from that guy."
What's with that outfit...! Beyond bold, it's basically a swimsuit...!
"I said, what's with that outfit! It's swimsuit level!"
"Haa... This is why I say country bumpkins don't understand beauty. Really, such a yawn-inducing reaction. To begin with... Is now the time to discuss that?"
Instantly, Tohsaka's reaction changed. A figure that reminds me of Fuji-nee who once left somewhere resolutely, or who subdued yakuza on the streets.
"Looks like you're finally getting a sense of it. So you see? Emiya-kun..."
"...."
"Would you die for me?"
And then, Tohsaka kicks at me. The moment I hastily dodge sideways, the pillar beside me shatters. What kind of power...?
"Ahh, did I do it too weakly?"
"Ugh...!"
Quickly picking up a newspaper on the floor, I roll it up and apply reinforcement. Then I immediately point it at Tohsaka to keep distance, but...
"Not bad."
Whoosh!
A gem thrown by Tohsaka flies through the air, goes around my newspaper like a curveball, and flies back to me. Damn...!
Why is this happening!? Why is Tohsaka trying to kill me! If I escape outside, other people could be in danger. First to the warehouse with lots of tools...!
Thump!
"Khh!"
The moment I step into the warehouse, the distance to the gem closes, so I quickly turn around and unfold the newspaper to block the gem, then the newspaper gets utterly destroyed and I fall. The gem calmly flies back to Tohsaka.
"Tohsaka... why are you..."
"Because you're a new Master candidate, of course. That's all. So, I'll kill you just in case for the Holy Grail War victory. That's all."
She bounces the gem in the air, and the gem flies toward me with a glow. A magus... So, I should die like this...?
That kind of thing...
"I can't accept it...!"
Kiiiiing...!!
"Saber, is it."
Crash!!!
And then, a blonde knight appearing from one corner of the warehouse with a blue light. The invisible sword she swung completely destroyed Tohsaka's gem.
"I ask. Are you my──"
"Ahh──! That gem was expensive! How dare you break my gem!"
Thump!!!!
"....?"
And then, she instantly gets hit by Tohsaka's kick and is sent flying outside.
After tumbling on the ground, she quickly gets up and charges at Tohsaka with a storm-like wind.
The invisible something she swung sliced through the air, and a giant bow appears beside Tohsaka who flew upward.
"I won't──let you off!!!"
Kwa-gwagwagwagwagwagwa!!!!
"What's that..."
Then countless golden somethings are fired, and she quickly dodges while sending a wind storm toward the sky. The golden sword revealed in the process.
"With this level of speed, you think you can catch me!"
"!?"
Bang!!!!
Tohsaka dodges the storm strike at high speed and moves at an invisible speed to appear beside her. Then, she gets hit by Tohsaka's fist and flies away. That looks like Chinese martial arts...
"Phew... I got heated up without realizing it."
"Weaker than Chaldea's Saber, and I even used Deification Regression... Well, at least I vented some anger."
"Khh..."
Colliding with the wall, a large crack forms in the wall, and she staggers as she gets up.
"Why, a goddess..."
"... This should be enough. Then bye bye~"
And then Tohsaka quickly flies away into the sky. What the hell...
"I won't let you go!"
"Wait~! Explain what's going on!"
Following her as she runs outside, when I come out, there's a tanned silver-haired man and behind him, Tohsaka who had already changed back into her school uniform.
"Hey Tohsaka! What exactly do you want!? Now you're suddenly wearing a school uniform!"
"Haa...?"
What the hell is going on...!
"Ah, super fun."
Popcorn tastes good.
