Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

This behavior can be considered a violation to some extent.

If Mooncell weren't devoid of intelligence, it probably would have already taken action against Shirou Emiya.

When Shirou Emiya rescued her from that crimson, collapsing world, Rin Tohsaka felt gratitude towards him, but also worry.

She had been in that collapsing world for so long that only a part of her body was covered by that dark deletion program.

However, Shirou Emiya was only in this world for a few seconds when more than half of his body was instantly covered.

If it weren't for Cú Chulainn's help, and if Shirou Emiya had stayed in that collapsing world for even a few more seconds, he probably would have disappeared before Rin Tohsaka even vanished.

The speed at which he was covered was dozens of times faster than that of a normal Master, and Rin Tohsaka worried that Shirou Emiya did not die in a battle with someone else.

Instead, it was deleted by Mooncell while it was saving others.

When she was being saved, Rin Tohsaka could clearly sense that Shirou Emiya intended to push her away.

In the end, however, Cú Chulainn kicked Shirou Emiya hard, sending him flying.

"The one who defeats me shouldn't stop here—!"

After saying this, Cú Chulainn, deprived of his magic supply and with his spirit core shattered, could no longer resist the deletion process and disappeared into the collapsing world.

"Anyway, thank you!"

Rin Tohsaka expressed her gratitude to Shirou Emiya, saying, "Who would willingly accept death if they could live?"

"How do you feel physically now?"

"Aside from the weakness, there shouldn't be any major impact. With the restorative effects of that alchemical potion, you should recover in a few days. But what about you? What are you going to do in the next battle?"

Rin Tohsaka sighed. "Is it even necessary to say who has the most serious problem right now?"

She is already the loser of this Holy Grail War and has also left it behind. No matter what the final outcome of this Holy Grail War is, Rin Tohsaka will be able to return to Earth unharmed.

As for Shirou Emiya, he was in a similar situation to Rin Tohsaka, or even worse, with half of his body being devoured by the dark deletion program.

He still had the injuries he sustained during his last battle with Li Shuwen.

A faint golden light could be seen shimmering at the edges of the black deletion programs covering Shirou Emiya's body.

The golden light was constantly devouring the dark deletion program, continuously driving it out.

It probably won't be long before the black deletion program covering Shirou Emiya is completely dispelled by the golden light.

Looking at the silent Emiya Shirou, Rin Tohsaka could only let out a soft sigh.

"That healing artifact you possess should be almost completely depleted of its mana by now—"

As a top-tier magician, Rin Tohsaka could clearly see that the golden light that had been devouring the pitch-black deletion program was now incredibly dim, as if its power was about to be exhausted.

Moreover, when Emiya Shirou first rescued Matou Shinji, the black deletion program attached to him disappeared without a trace the very next day.

It's been three days since that battle, and the black deletion program is still hanging on Shirou Emiya.

Based on this alone, Rin Tohsaka could tell that Shirou Emiya could no longer completely ignore his injuries as before.

If it weren't for Shirou Emiya constantly rushing in to try and save her—

Thinking of this, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but sigh again.

She simply couldn't change Shirou Emiya's mind, and besides, these things had already happened, so there was no point in saying anything more.

"This is the only way for now; I don't have any better solutions—"

Shirou Emiya looked at Rin Tohsaka, who was staring at him with a reproachful expression, and could only wave his hand helplessly. Although Avalon had always been inside him, he had no idea how to use this Noble Phantasm.

In fact, he didn't even know when he had this treasure inside him.

The first time I learned of Avalon's existence was when Arthur told me about it himself.

Otherwise, he thought he was able to recover because of the contract with that blue orb of light.

But to some extent, the reason I've been able to escape from the brink of death so many times is indeed because of the contract.

Shirou Emiya himself has no way to provide magic to Avalon; the magic that exists within Avalon seems to have been sent over by that orb of light through some means.

"Is that so?"

Seeing Shirou Emiya's helpless smile, Rin Tohsaka nodded in distress, also pondering how Shirou should deal with the upcoming Holy Grail War.

Just then, the door to the infirmary was hurriedly pushed open.

Shinji Matou and Gina rushed in, then slammed the door shut behind them.

"You guys, when Fujimura-sensei comes over later, just say you've never seen us before!!"

Upon seeing Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya appear in the infirmary, Shinji Matou's panicked expression faltered slightly. He then nervously whispered a warning to Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka.

He crouched down and quickly hid under the hospital bed.

Gina, on the other hand, skillfully pushed open an empty cabinet and, like an eel, scurried into it.

Chapter 612 Just Like Real Classmates

"boom--!"

The powerful force suddenly slammed the door against the wall, kicking up a cloud of dust that wasn't even there.

The noise that followed caused the entire infirmary to shake violently.

A violent, orange-yellow figure appeared at the door of the infirmary.

In her hand, she tightly gripped a bamboo knife with tiger stripes.

"Sister Teng—?"

"I told you to call me teacher!!"

Standing beside the hospital bed, Shirou Emiya uttered a question, which was quickly caught by Taiga Fujimura.

She then noticed the three people in the infirmary, and her furious expression subsided slightly.

Did you see two figures walk in?

Rin Tohsaka glanced briefly at Shinji Matou, who was hiding under the hospital bed and desperately putting his finger to his lips, before calmly looking at Taiga Fujimura as he walked in.

"From the time we've been in the infirmary until now, you're the only one who's ever opened the door to the infirmary."

"Really? Or must I have misread it?"

Seeing Rin Tohsaka's calm and collected expression, Taiga Fujimura, who had just entered, nodded thoughtfully, as if he really felt he had misjudged her.

As Shirou Emiya looked at Taiga Fujimura, who seemed to be really thinking, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Taiga Fujimura is probably the only one who would think he was seeing things when he actually saw them run into the infirmary."

"Sakura, you've been in the infirmary the whole time, did you see—"

As expected, such a lie was still unconvincing, and Rin Tohsaka was also shocked when she saw Fujimura Taiga asking Matou Sakura a question.

Having spent so much time together, Rin Tohsaka had almost forgotten that Sakura Matou was a high-level AI, not a contestant, and she wouldn't keep Shinji Matou's secret.

If Fujimura Taiga asks Matou Sakura, he can find Gina and Matou Shinji, who have done something he doesn't know.

The atmosphere immediately became tense.

Sakura Matou, who was sitting in her seat, was startled when she suddenly heard Taiga Fujimura call her name and abruptly stood up from her seat.

"A figure, a figure, a figure, a figure—"

Sakura Matou glanced at Taiga Fujimura, then turned to look at Shirou Emiya not far away, muttering to herself, unsure how to reply to Taiga Fujimura.

"Sister Fujii, Sakura was taking a nap and just woke up!"

Seeing Matou Sakura in an awkward situation, Emiya Shirou quickly went over and lied to Fujimura Taiga.

"I've already told you, don't call me 'Sister Teng,' I'm a teacher! Not some mafia boss!"

Fujimura Taiga, seeing that Emiya Shirou still hadn't changed his way of addressing her, brandished her bamboo sword, indicating that if she heard Emiya Shirou call her "Fuji-nee" again, she wouldn't be polite.

"Did I push the door open too hard? Sakura, I'm sorry!"

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's explanation, Taiga Fujimura quickly apologized to Sakura Matou, assuming that it was her forceful pushing of the door that had woken Sakura from her sleep.

"No, no, it's alright, Fujimura-sensei. It's time for me to get up now—"

Upon hearing Fujimura Taiga's apology, Matou Sakura quickly waved her hand, unable to accept such an apology from him.

Because she hadn't taken a nap at all.

"Really? Sakura, I'm glad you're not mad at me. I'll head out now—"

Looking at Matou Sakura, who seemed to have really been taking a nap, Fujimura Taiga also put his bamboo sword on his shoulder, muttering to himself as he walked out of the infirmary.

"I clearly remember them running this way!"

Listening to the sounds gradually fading away, Shirou Emiya arrived at the door of the infirmary. After confirming that Fujiwara had left, he slowly closed the door.

“Phew! I was scared to death!”

The door of the metal cabinet was suddenly pushed open, and Gina patted her chest, breathing heavily, with an expression of relief.

This seems to be equivalent to her total amount of exercise over the past year.

"Damn it, that woman, all she took was a key!"

Meanwhile, Shinji Matou crawled out from under the bed, cursing and swearing, showing no trace of the panic he had displayed when he ran to the infirmary.

"Alright, I've covered for you all. Now tell me, how did you offend Fujimura-sensei—"

Rin Tohsaka took a small sip of her red tea, then slowly placed it on the bedside table next to the hospital bed. Her gaze was piercing, as if she were interrogating criminals, as she stared at Gina and Shinji Matou.

Meanwhile, Shirou Emiya, who had gone to comfort Sakura, sat down and looked at the two who had rushed in.

"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! You'll never guess what we got!"

Upon hearing Rin Tohsaka's question, Shinji Matou's face was filled with immense pride.

"The key to the multimedia classroom?"

"!?"

"how do you know!"
