Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Rin Tohsaka rubbed her aching nose, as if she had seen something shocking, and reflexively jumped away from Sakura Matou.

He looked at Emiya Shirou, who had suddenly appeared, with a surprised expression.

"Why are you here?!"

Rin Tohsaka rubbed her aching, red nose with one hand and pointed at Shirou Emiya, who had appeared in front of them, while loudly questioning him.

"Hmm, this should be my home, right? —"

Emiya Shirou scratched his head, unsure how to answer Rin Tohsaka's question.

"————————"

Rin Tohsaka seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle with extreme embarrassment.

She lived here for more than a month, and Shirou Emiya never showed up. She had forgotten that this was actually where Shirou Emiya lived.

In fact, she never intended to live here.

Being able to watch Sakura every day, eat and live with her, and talk about ideals and the future is something she has always longed for.

Aside from some necessary tasks such as receiving magicians from other places and training oneself in gem magic.

After all, the Tohsaka family holds many magic patents, and their income is quite substantial. Except in necessary circumstances, Rin Tohsaka rarely goes out to work.

Of course, if given the opportunity, she would still choose to go out and work, since even though her income is very high, the assets consumed by the Gem Magic are basically above her income.

As a result, Rin Tohsaka would go to the Emiya residence almost whenever she had time.

For reasons unknown, Taiga-sensei covered her mouth and chuckled as she made a copy of the key and handed it to Rin Tohsaka.

This allowed her free access to Emiya's residence.

After all, Sakura won't stay here forever; during her vacations, she'll also go out to work.

After Sakura left the Matou family that time, she never received any news from her grandfather again.

She dared not return to the Matou family again.

She was afraid, afraid that if she went in again, she would never come out again and would never see Shirou Emiya again.

And naturally, without the connection of Zouken Matou, Sakura now has to be self-sufficient for everything she needs in her life, whether it's living expenses or the tuition fees she'll need for school.

Unless she is really prepared to return to the Matou family again, she will have to bear these expenses herself.

Her uncle, Matou Tsuruno, who had always taken care of her, had also passed away, and she did not want to seek help from her brother.

Moreover, Shinji Matou is completely incapable of helping him.

Therefore, in most cases, Matou Sakura is working outside.

A month ago, Taiga suggested that Rin Tohsaka stay here for the time being, as Rin had to travel back and forth between her home and this place every day, which was quite troublesome.

Why not just stay here? It would be convenient for Rin Tohsaka to go to school.

Rin Tohsaka thought for a moment, since Shirou Emiya was nowhere to be found anyway, she asked Sakura, who also said she didn't know anything about it.

So they agreed to Taiga's proposal.

They settled down.

After that, she completely forgot about Shirou Emiya, and in her carefree manner, she seemed to have forgotten that this was actually Shirou Emiya's house.

Matou Sakura is only staying here temporarily.

"Your senior is always away for such a long time, and you don't even go to school. If it weren't for the Emiya sign on the door of this house, no one would know that this is where you live."

Sakura Matou glared resentfully at Shirou Emiya, while explaining things to Rin Tohsaka.

In almost half a year, Shirou Emiya entered and left his mansion very few times, if Taiga-sensei, himself, and Tohsaka-senpai didn't live here.

This house will likely become a notorious haunted house.

For half a year, there was no sign of life, and no one knew what the weeds in the courtyard would become.

Cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, preparing ingredients—these were all things that Emiya Shirou used to do himself, but now Sakura has taken care of them all.

Although she herself doesn't mind, and is even quite willing to do these things, she still harbors some resentment, particularly towards Shirou Emiya's long absence from home.

Stare~~~~~~~~~

"After all, I can't refuse these things—"

Emiya Shirou could only scratch the back of his head, feeling extremely embarrassed, and dared not look directly at Matou Sakura.

Indeed, because he was away from home, Sakura had been taking care of all the household affairs. It was very wrong of Shirou Emiya to leave things that should have been his own to someone else.

"sorry!"

Shirou Emiya could only sincerely apologize to Sakura. He hadn't lied; leaving wasn't his own choice. No matter how unwilling he was, he was forcibly taken away by that door.

"Senior, there's no need to apologize. More than us, I hope you can care more about yourself."

Sakura smiled slightly, but her eyes couldn't help but reveal her worry.

She was incredibly perceptive about everything concerning Shirou Emiya.

After only a short time together, Sakura noticed that Shirou Emiya had more white hair and his short, reddish-brown hair had become much lighter in color.

Sakura didn't know what had happened to Shirou Emiya, but she knew that the constant appearance of white hair was not a good thing.

"Tohsaka-senpai, did you call me because you needed something?"

Sakura hadn't forgotten Rin Tohsaka beside her. Rin had called her so urgently earlier, so it must have been something urgent.

"!"

"Don't look!!!!!"

Rin Tohsaka seemed to remember something, and her face turned bright red in an instant. She roared at Shirou Emiya like a shrew.

However, Shirou Emiya's gaze had now shifted to the ground, to the things that Rin Tohsaka had fallen into the courtyard because she had accidentally stepped on her right foot with her left.

That's a very classic women's underwear; the black color gives you an exceptionally strong sense of security.

"Snapped--!"

All that could be heard was a loud bang and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Chapter 378 Once Again, Accidentally Entering the Battlefield

Emiya Shirou returns to the school once again.

The second semester of my first year of high school is almost over.

Midterm exams are about to begin.

The only time I could be active in Fuyuki City for an extended period of time was during summer vacation, not during the school term.

Although Shirou Emiya no longer has much hope of going to school, he still really wants to experience events like the sports festival or school festival this semester.

Unfortunately, I have no chance to participate in any of these kinds of activities.

Moreover, I can no longer keep up with the pace. It would be better if it were humanities subjects like history.

In subjects like mathematics, Shirou Emiya found himself falling behind. He was completely bewildered during class and couldn't understand what the teacher was saying at all.

The students, as always, were unsurprised by it; whether Shirou Emiya was at school or not made no particular difference.

Aside from a certain student council president who frequently pulls Shirou Emiya into the student council.

The head of a certain archery club kept trying to persuade Shirou Emiya to join the archery club.

Emiya Shirou is also intentionally trying to reduce his presence.

The only thing the students in the school probably remember now is when Shirou Emiya was in the student council.

All the damaged appliances were working properly the next day.

This directly alleviated a large part of the student union's financial difficulties.

Hiring a repairman would inevitably cost a lot of money, but with Shirou Emiya's help, Ryudou Kazunari's life became much easier.

Whether it's the direct help from Shirou Emiya, or suggestions on activities, such as the upcoming school festival.

Unfortunately, he was probably no longer in Fuyuki City when the school festival was held.

Every day, Ryudou Kazunari would say, "If only you could stay at school forever, Emiya."

Shirou Emiya could only politely decline Kazunari Ryudou's offer to join the student council.

After dealing with Esdeath, her army was no longer a threat; without its leader, the army was almost incapable of launching an attack.

They had no idea how to attack so many Teigu users of the Revolutionary Army, and the army was in a very low mood because of Esdeath's death.

They were quickly defeated and captured by the revolutionary army in a very short time.

Afterwards, Shirou Emiya and Night Raid also returned to the Imperial Capital.

After consolidating their rule, the revolutionary army quickly issued a warrant for Night Raid's arrest.

They attributed everything that Night Raid did to the individual members of the assassin organization, claiming it had nothing to do with the Revolutionary Army.

Furthermore, they proclaimed that the revolutionary army had never trained assassins, nor had they ever sent assassins to assassinate ministers; their victory was achieved by directly defeating the empire.

Emiya Shirou found this very strange, but the members of the night raid didn't care about the wanted posters issued by the Revolutionary Army.

Brand changed his hairstyle and established a dojo in the capital.

After being constantly harassed by Chelsea and Mine, Tatsumi went into seclusion.

Najenda, along with Lubbock and Susanoo, continued to contribute to the new empire in secret.

Leone chose to stay in the Empire and keep Brand company, but she did not intend to join Brand's dojo.

Akame is also continuously eliminating restless local powerful figures for the sake of the stability of the new country.

After that, he set sail alone to an unknown place in the East.

Emiya Shirou had also lived in the Empire for a few days and, seeing the people's fervent expressions, offered his heartfelt blessings.

Their lives were also getting better, at least not as dark as before. With the help of the revolutionary army, many people were able to have a proper meal.

Shirou Emiya also saw some high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army, accompanied by guards, riding in carriages and patrolling the streets in a friendly manner.
