Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"Sun Breathing, Form One: Waltz!"

A deep voice echoed at that moment.

"――――!"

Emiya Shirou's pupils suddenly contracted.

His reddish-brown eyes began to tremble.

Only at this moment did Shirou Emiya finally see it.

A crimson blade of light, as if traversing time and space, cleaved through the heavens and earth, hurtling towards him.

Cold.

sharp.

Hot.

The slash, resembling the sun, was swung up with terrifying force.

In an instant, he appeared in front of Emiya Shirou.

"Zheng—!"

Suddenly, an unprecedentedly intense crimson blade gleamed before Shirou Emiya.

“Puff——!”

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying flash of light tore apart Shirou Emiya's shoulder, and his arm, which was gripping the crimson spear, rose into the air under the night sky.

"I'm showing Mr. Fujimura around the school. What about you, Father Kotomine?"

When Shirou Emiya first saw it, he was quite surprised and automatically ignored Kirei Kotomine's question to him.

After regaining his senses, Shirou Emiya immediately replied.

"The boss had to leave temporarily and entrusted the shop to me, asking me to take care of it for a while. But, Mr. Fujimura, is this your first time at the school?"

"Ah, I'm the new teacher, the homeroom teacher of Class 2-A." [Fujimura Taiga] responded with a gentle expression.

"Really? No wonder I haven't seen him before. I won't bother you any longer. Emiya-kun, you can continue showing Fujimura-sensei around the campus."

"Well then, Father Kotomine, we'll be going now."

Emiya Shirou also bid farewell to Kotomine Kirei and headed upstairs.

"This is the infirmary. You can rest here if you experience any abnormalities. We also have some basic wound care medications and anti-inflammatory drugs."

After all, it's just a health room; it can only provide a place for injured or uncomfortable students to rest.

If a serious injury occurs, or if a person contracts a very serious disease, the infirmary is naturally not capable of treating it.

You still need to go to the hospital.

Therefore, Shirou Emiya's first thought was not to go to the school infirmary, but rather to go to the hospital.

But for some reason, he had a feeling that the infirmary could cure many difficult and complicated diseases.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Emiya Shirou knocked on the door, just like in a library. Although there was already enough space, it would be more convenient to get to know the person in charge later on.

"coming!"

A soft, gentle voice came from the infirmary.

Soon, the door to the infirmary was pushed open.

A woman with long, purple hair that reached past her knees, a red ribbon tied around the left side of her head, and a white coat over her school uniform that matched the atmosphere of the infirmary, opened the door with an extremely soothing smile.

"Senior!? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon seeing Shirou Emiya, her expression was initially calm, then turned somewhat joyful, and then returned to calm.

She was instantly filled with confusion.

Where does this joy come from?

It's as if the body reacts before the brain does.

Why did I feel joy when I saw him?

I am an AI, and Shirou Emiya is only connected to me in terms of the imported character. Although a high-level AI has a variety of emotions, it shouldn't behave like this.

Even if there is one, it should be a simulation based on the relationship between the characters.

But these emotions are directly reflected in the body.

In her own view, this was an extremely unusual situation.

Moreover, it's more like an emotion than a feeling.

But as an AI, it lacks emotions. If it did, Mooncell would delete it, something she was absolutely certain of.

She didn't know what was happening to her, but she, the fairy, didn't have time to examine her current condition.

"Sakura, isn't the nurse in the infirmary?"

Emiya Shirou seemed oblivious to Matou Sakura's change in expression, and instead stood at the doorway, looking inside while asking her a question.

At this moment, apart from the neat rows of hospital beds and the rows of medicine cabinets lined up against the walls, there was nothing else in the infirmary.

"Yes, the teacher has to go, so I'll stay here and watch over things for now."

This purple-haired girl is the infirmary teacher's assistant and basically spends all her time in the infirmary except when she is teaching. She is also Matou Shinji's younger sister, Matou Sakura.

"Who is this?"

"Hello, my name is Fujimura Taiga, you can just call me Fujimura-sensei."

As if he had discovered something, Fujimura Taiga squinted and extended his hand to Matou Sakura with an extremely kind smile.

"Hello, Fujimura-sensei!"

Sakura Matou politely shook hands with Taiga Fujimura.

At that moment, a faint pink and extremely weak magical energy emanated from Fujimura Taiga's hand, only to immediately dissipate.

Sakura Matou's body trembled slightly, as if some program had been activated at that moment.

Sure enough, I was right.

Feeling the traces of the computer magic he had once used on Matou Sakura, [Fujimura Taiga]'s smile widened.

"Mr. Fujimura is our new homeroom teacher. I will continue to show Mr. Fujimura around the campus."

Shirou Emiya didn't realize anything was wrong; he was completely unaware of the fleeting magical fluctuation.

Even if Shirou Emiya hadn't had his memories restricted due to the pre-selection, he wouldn't have noticed such subtle magical fluctuations.

Because he is not proficient in traditional magic tricks, not to mention that his memory is now restricted and he doesn't even know what magic is.

What Fujimura Taiga is doing at this moment is not casting her computer magic, but activating the computer magic that already exists on Matou Sakura.

"Okay, senior, I'll head back now—"

As soon as she finished speaking, Matou Sakura's steps became extremely unsteady, and she fell backward.

"cherry--!"

With a shout, Shirou Emiya strode forward, grabbed Sakura Matou's hand as she fell, pulled her towards him, and caught her securely in his arms.

"Well--!"

Looking at the scene before him, [Fujimura Taiga] gasped in surprise, covering his mouth.

But Shirou Emiya couldn't care less about that now, and looked up at Sakura Matou in his arms with extreme tension.

"Are you OK!"

"I, I just, I'm just a little dizzy—"

Feeling the warmth from his chest, Matou Sakura's face flushed crimson in that instant, and she made an extremely faint sound, like a mosquito buzzing.

She didn't know what had just happened to her; it was as if she had been hit on the head, and she suddenly lost her senses.

In Shirou Emiya's arms, she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if she had once lay on Shirou Emiya's chest.

This is the first day of the preliminary rounds, and as an AI, this should be the first time I've met Emiya Shirou.

Why, why does my body feel this familiar?

But the throbbing pain in her head forced her to stop thinking.

Why don't you go and rest for a bit first?

Looking at Matou Sakura, who had suddenly lost her footing and fallen, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but show worry in his eyes.

"No, it's alright, senior. Maybe I haven't been eating enough lately, and I'm a little hypoglycemic."

Chapter 853 The Right Hand is Actually a Nuclear Bomb

"Pfft—!"

With a tearing sound like ripping silk, Shirou Emiya's arm and shoulder were cleanly cut open, the precision of the cuts was astonishing, and blood splattered in mid-air.

Just as the slash was about to land, Shirou Emiya suddenly swerved to the side; otherwise, the blow would have severed more than just his arm.

It was his neck.

"Escaped?"

Shuten-dōji couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Yoriichi Tsugikuni's attack was obviously not just to save Shuten-dōji's life; he directly slashed at Shirō Emiya's arm.

He had no idea what ability the crimson spear Shirou Emiya had that he threw.

From the very beginning, Yoriichi Tsugikuni aimed his sword at Shirou Emiya's neck.
