Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Fujimura Taiga didn't get anything out of Emiya Shirou, so when asked by Ryudou Kazunari, she could only say she didn't know, only that Emiya Shirou said he was working away from home and couldn't come back to school.

At least that's Shirou Emiya's official reason for speaking out.

Ryudou Kazunari naturally wanted to help Shirou Emiya, a poor student who could only go out to work and could not come to school.

After all, from what he had heard, Emiya Shirou was a very cheerful and helpful person, but he had been living alone since he was very young.

In his view, Shirou Emiya might be living in extreme poverty, perhaps having offended some powerful figure he shouldn't have, and thus had no choice but to leave Fuyuki to seek refuge.

Ryudou Kazunari naturally knew that if even Fujii-nee couldn't help Emiya Shirou, he would still have no choice but to go to work like this.

It was virtually impossible for the student council to help Shirou Emiya, but he still wanted to do his part, however small.

After all, from the moment he saw Shirou Emiya, Kazunari Ryudou knew that he would definitely become his best friend.

This is a man's intuition!

Chapter 293 Enthusiastic Citizen

"Is it so late?"

Looking at the sky, which was turning yellowish, Shirou Emiya knew that he had been in the student council for quite some time.

Because of the various club activities at the school, school usually ends early, and now it's dusk.

Basically, most club activities have ended, with only a few sports-related clubs continuing.

For example, clubs like archery, kendo, track and field, and tennis have relatively long activity periods.

However, it's almost over now, and there aren't many students walking around the school.

As for why he stayed in the student council so late...

"Um, Kazunari, what are these appliances for?"

"Those are broken water heaters and some heating cylinders from various classes. Because they are always needed, they are not stored in the warehouse. They will be taken to the repairman for repair when a certain number are collected."

"Can I try?"

"Of course, if you can fix it, the student council won't have to spend money on repairing these appliances."

Afterwards, Shirou Emiya repaired all the damaged electrical appliances within a few hours and discussed some plans for the student council with Kazunari.

And regarding Ryu-dong Kazunari, there was a discussion about reforming the unfair allocation of funds to the student department of Sui-gun.

"Emiya, have you ever thought about joining the student council? If you could join, it would make my life much easier."

Ryudou Kazunari was somewhat tempted and suggested to Emiya Shirou that the electrical appliances that Emiya Shirou handled were generally without problems.

If Shirou Emiya could stay in the student council, it would save a lot of expenses, not to mention that Shirou Emiya is one of the few people who can keep up with his thinking, give him advice, and support him.

"No, I probably won't be at school for a long time. Even if I join the student council, I won't be able to do much. It's better to leave this opportunity to someone else."

Shirou Emiya politely declined Kazunari Ryudou's invitation, because he already anticipated that he might not have many opportunities to stay at the school.

"indeed!"

Ryudou Kazunari patted Emiya Shirou on the shoulder, feeling quite regretful. However, this was due to physical limitations, and even if Ryudou Kazunari wanted to force Emiya Shirou to stay, there was nothing he could do, although he wouldn't do that anyway.

So Shirou Emiya didn't come out of the student council until this late.

However, he had texted Sakura a long time ago telling her not to wait for him, so she must have already returned to the mansion.

Emiya Shirou returned to the classroom and picked up his schoolbag.

Although only four months have passed, he feels like it has been a very long time since he has walked home carrying his bag like this.

The sky darkened quickly; by the time Shirou Emiya finished packing his things and was preparing to go back, the sky had already gradually darkened.

Surely it won't be long before the sun, as dazzling as an egg yolk, sets completely.

Shirou Emiya awkwardly carried his bag as he walked out of the school.

Almost a week has passed, and the exams are even over, but Shirou Emiya still hasn't sensed any sign of the gate appearing.

It seems that I can finally relax and take a good rest, and review my studies properly.

Although the holidays are coming soon, given his grades, there's no doubt that Shirou Emiya will need to catch up on his studies during the holidays.

However, for Shirou Emiya, who hadn't attended classes in a long time, this could be considered a break.

Compared to fighting to the death, studying is definitely a form of rest.

Sakura at home should have already started cooking.

As Shirou Emiya pondered this, he walked toward the Emiya residence.

"Oh! A magician?"

It was a voice that, just by hearing it, conveyed an overwhelming sense of arrogance, coming from behind him.

"!"

Emiya Shirou's eyes immediately sharpened, and he turned around abruptly to look behind him.

A tall, blond-haired young man with red eyes and a slender build, wearing a white shirt underneath a black coat, emerged from a nearby alley.

In his hand, he was spinning a coin—

With his exceptional eyesight, Shirou Emiya was able to clearly see the object that was moving up and down between the young man's fingers.

It appears to be game currency.

"who are you?"

The moment I saw this young man, an indescribable sense of oppression swept over me, as if I were being stared at by someone sitting high on a throne.

"Ha! A lowly magician is not worthy to hear my name."

The young man looked down at Shirou Emiya from his elevated position, seemingly unconcerned about the slight hostility he exuded.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with a ill-mannered scoundrel like you. As a magician, you should conceal your aura, or you might attract the attention of the Fuyuki City authorities."

The blond man, completely unconcerned, turned away arrogantly from Shirou Emiya and left.

"Thank you!"

Emiya Shirou thanked him loudly.

Watching his departing figure, Shirou Emiya, though unsure of his reasons, reminded himself that he should thank him regardless.

However, no response was received.

"The magic emanating from me?"

Emiya Shirou scratched the back of his head, unsure of what to do. After all, as a novice in magic, he only knew projection magic and one enhancement magic that he hadn't used in a long time.

As for how to conceal his magical energy fluctuations, he really didn't know how.

We can only take it one step at a time.

Emiya Shirou thought to himself with some distress.

Although I don't know who the administrator of Fuyuki City that the man mentioned is, I should be able to explain it if I just give a little explanation.

After all, I've lived in Fuyuki for so many years, and I used to know some magic tricks, but the Fuyuki City authorities never came knocking on my door.

He probably already knew he was a magician.

Emiya Shirou was lost in thought.

Sure enough, the place I was in wasn't exactly peaceful either.

Emiya Shirou sighed, suddenly remembering the Holy Grail War he had participated in in Romania.

"The Holy Church, I remember, it's over there."

Emiya Shirou arrived at his front door. Based on his years of experience living in Fuyuki City, he could see a church in the distance called the Church of the Holy Church.

I don't think I've ever visited before.

If it really is a parallel world, then the Holy Church must also be a place related to magic.

Emiya Shirou pondered his upcoming vacation, thinking he would like to take some time to visit the Church of Christ.

In that parallel world, Shirou Emiya also saw a lot of information about the magic world in the Yggdrasilia clan.

He also has a certain understanding of the magic world, such as the Mage's Association, the Clock Tower, and the Church of the Holy See. Shirou Emiya still has some impression of the basic knowledge that magicians should know.

That's all that's left of Shirou Emiya's impressions of the magic world.

Chapter 294 The Church

"Is this the Holy Church?"

Shirou Emiya stood in front of the church, looking somewhat nervous, as this was likely his first encounter with an official organization in his own world.

Although he had never been here before, he had some knowledge of it as the only church in Fuyuki City.

Just like Ryudouji Temple, Shirou Emiya, as a resident of Fuyuki City, has never been there, but he still knows a bit about it.

Fuyuki City isn't very big, and even though his life revolves around the school and Emiya's residence, it's impossible for him to be completely unaware of some of Fuyuki City's unique attractions or buildings.

Therefore, Shirou Emiya also knew that the priest of the Fuyuki City Church was named Kotomine.

As for his full name, Shirou Emiya didn't pay much attention to it, as he figured he would probably never have the chance to come to the church.

However, the surname Kotomine gave Emiya Shirou a long pause to think.

Standing in front of the church, Shirou Emiya's mind was filled with images of Shirou Kotomine.

On the one hand, the church does have a sense of déjà vu, and on the other hand, the ideal of "saving all mankind" is just too grand.

Just as Shirou Emiya was lost in thought, a figure silently appeared at the church entrance.

"Young man! Is there anything troubling you?"

It was a mature and magnetic voice that Shirou Emiya recognized but couldn't quite place, coming from the church.
