Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

However, after Shirou Emiya agreed without hesitation, Shinji Matou's face darkened again, and he turned and left.

[Emiya Shirou went to organize the archery club all by himself, and didn't finish until dark.]

Just then, something seemed to happen outside. Shirou Emiya instinctively ran out to check, and his pupils immediately contracted.

Kurogiri Senka: "This Emiya Shirou, are you an idiot? You just go because someone tells you to!"

Househusband: "It's nothing, we're all friends, and it seems like I have some free time."

That's Shirou Emiya for you. Even if someone makes a capricious request, he'll do his best to fulfill it.

Kurogiri Senka: "Are you an idiot! That guy clearly doesn't consider you a friend."

It's infuriating; this kid must have something wrong with his head.

Stay-at-home husband: "No, Shinji is just a little arrogant."

Harmless: "Shut up!!!"

Shinji Matou was furious. What he hated most about Shirou Emiya was that he acted like he could do anything.

Red A: "...Idiot."

Fuyuki no Tora: "Sigh, this is both your weakness and your strength, Shirou."

[Let's rewind to the evening a few days ago.]

"I once had some expectations regarding my father's dying words..."

[At the Tohsaka residence, Rin Tohsaka stared at the crimson gemstone pendant in her hand, dark circles appearing beneath her beautiful eyes.]

"Last night, we found a tricky puzzle in the basement, as well as my father's belongings..."

The locked, high-tech-looking box placed in front of her was an unbearable torment for Rin Tohsaka.

"It took me a lot of effort to open it. Once opened, what appeared to be a broken catalyst and this pendant were what I found."

Inside the box were tattered snakeskin and the ruby ​​pendant.

Kenneth: "This is the King of Heroes' relic. It's unusable now? What a pity."

Weber: "Even if it were usable, it wouldn't be of any use, because Gilgamesh is still in the mortal world."

Conqueror King: "Besides, given this girl's personality, she probably won't get along with Gilgamesh."

King of Heroes: "Hmph, no, this little girl is quite interesting. She might bring me even more pleasure."

Rin Tohsaka: "I'd summon anyone but you! I'm not your entertainment!"

"While this tactic is impressive, it's completely ineffective for summoning Saber. According to the imposter priest's intelligence, there are only two Masters left, so there's no time to worry about it."

She decided to summon the Heroic Spirit tonight; she needed to summon it as soon as possible!

She believed that with her strength and luck, she was absolutely capable of summoning Saber!

[So, Rin Tohsaka went to the basement of the mansion and moved a stone platform weighing several hundred kilograms against the wall.]

She moved the stone platform all by herself, a task that required tools from four porters.

[After placing the stone platform against the wall, not a single drop of sweat dripped from Rin Tohsaka's forehead.]

Weber: "Holy crap..."

The Conqueror King: "Kid, your training isn't up to par. You can't even beat a girl."

Zabiko: "As expected of Rin, that strength—"

Sharpshooter Li: "Hmm, very good. He truly lives up to his reputation as a promising disciple."

Luvia: "Hmph, what good is strength alone?"

Despite saying that, Luvia still felt a competitive urge.

This woman possesses such power without relying on magic—

Damn it, if she can do it, so can I.

"..."

Everyone in the group admired Rin Tohsaka's strength, but Rin herself blushed with embarrassment.

That's it, my ladylike image is completely ruined.

"Ready."

Rin Tohsaka glanced at the time on the clock, her right hand gripping her left wrist.

"The magic wavelength is ideal; I just need to summon at 2 AM when my magic is at its peak!"

A summoning magic circle had already been drawn beneath her feet, and she held a seven-figure gemstone in her hand.

"Even without a catalyst, I'll summon Saber for you to see!"

The chanting echoed in the room, and the gem in her palm transformed into magical droplets that fell onto the magic circle.

"The basis of the terms is silver and iron, and the foundation is stone and the great covenant of contracts."

[“His ancestor was my teacher, who practiced the ancient Bain. The gates opened on all four sides, but were all closed.”]

"From the crown comes the path leading to the kingdom, a cycle that repeats itself endlessly."

The magic circle beneath their feet glowed with a green light, and the incantation of the Command Seal had reached its crucial moment.

"Be full, be full, be full, be full, be full!"

"The cycle repeats itself, then five times. However, the moment of fullness is the moment of abandonment."

"I declare! You shall obey my commands; my life is entrusted to your sword."

"If you follow the destiny of the Holy Grail, and abide by this will and this reason, then respond."

"I swear once more, I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world, and I am the one who eradicates all evil deeds in the world."

"You are the Seven Heavens, bound by the three great incantations, descending here upon the Wheel of Restraint."

"The Guardian of Libra!"

The magic circle extinguished in the next moment, the surging magic stirring up dust in the basement, and the heroic spirit summoning ritual ended.

Rin Tohsaka sat on the ground, panting, staring at the Command Seal that had appeared on the back of her hand, then excitedly looked around.

However, looking at the messy basement, it seems like I'm all alone?

Where is my Heroic Spirit? Where is my huge Heroic Spirit?

Toosaka Rin: “???”

Luvia: "Hehehe, as expected of people from a small town, even summoning a Heroic Spirit can fail."

Rin Tohsaka: "What did you say?!"

Luvia: "What, with the stark reality right in front of you, are you still afraid of what people say?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Are you an idiot? Didn't I already say in the last question that I have a Servant!"

Luvia: "#￥##%￥#￥#"

The two rivals started arguing again.

"..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned. The summoning steps for Rin in the video were correct, so how could the summoning fail?

Could it be because there are no artifacts?

【"Thump—"

[A loud bang was heard overhead, as if a meteorite had fallen into the house; the whole house shook.]

"Why?!"

Rin Tohsaka hurriedly ran upstairs, confused as to why the Heroic Spirit hadn't appeared in front of her, but instead appeared above her, seemingly even smashing through her ceiling.

"Damn it, damn it, the door is broken!"

The top-floor room hadn't been used for a long time, and the recent vibration had broken the door lock; it wouldn't budge no matter how hard I tried.

Enraged, Rin Tohsaka kicked the door open.

Her servant was waiting here with his legs crossed; it was none other than Red Archer.

Red A: "..."

Rin Tohsaka: "...Ming, you look like you deserve a beating."

Wuming: "...That's not me."

Toosaka Rin: "Huh?"

Blonde Rin: "Hmm—upon closer inspection, it really does look a bit different from Wuming."

Rin Tohsaka: "Then what's this?"

Red A: "Ahem, it's me."

Rin Tohsaka: "So you're also Shirou Emiya?"

Red A: "..."
