Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[We've built up the atmosphere so much, you two are making us lose face.]

[Ruby: "Seriously, I don't want to talk to you guys anymore."]

[Sapphire: "Ignoring the mission and acting on your own. We regret to inform you that we have determined you are no longer qualified to be our masters."]

[Ruby: "That's it."]

Sapphire: "Please forgive us for taking the liberty of making this decision."

[Ruby/Sapphire: "I need to take some time off."]

[Thus, the two, whose transformations were forcibly reverted, fell from mid-air into the Fuyuki River, where they were swept away by the icy waters.]

[And the wands, freed from the two expired magical girls, separated to find new masters.]

Kurogiri Senka: "Pfft—I was actually abandoned by my own wand?"

Aozaki Aoko: "But the two of you really acted too immaturely. No wonder even the wands disliked you."

Rin Tohsaka: "..."

Luvia: "..."

This is so embarrassing; today is practically their social death day.

Webber: "But these two wands are really intelligent, almost like they're alive."

Kenneth: "Ahem, after all, this is the work of the esteemed Gemstone Master."

[As we can see from what we just saw, Ruby has a lively and unruly personality and likes to make sarcastic remarks, while Sapphire is more normal, calm, and composed.]

Suddenly, Ruby, who hadn't been gone long, seemed to catch a whiff of the girl's lily-scented fragrance and instantly accelerated forward.

Her target was the Emiya family mansion.

[Let's rewind to a few minutes earlier, at the Emiya residence.]

[Having finally finished watching the magical girl DVD, the usually gluttonous and emotionless maid was now sprawled out on the sofa like a lazy kitten, fast asleep. Meanwhile, Illya yawned and went to take a shower, preparing for bed.]

"Watching an entire season in one go feels a bit overwhelming."

Ilya lay in the bathtub reserved for wealthy families, soaking in the emerald green water, basking in the holy light as she swam and basked.

[She was accompanied by an adorable lion plush toy, the Lion King.]

Ilya: "Ah!!!"

Although the Q&A group thoughtfully activated the "Holy Light of Sin," the scene still made Ilya blush with embarrassment.

They even saw me taking a shower.

"Kaka——"

Kiritsugu Emiya's face darkened, and he instinctively chambered a bullet.

Irisviel smiled, surrounded by black mist, and silver threads swirled in her hands.

Shirou Emiya, watching from the side, trembled with fear, regretting that he hadn't called Taiga over today.

Rin Tohsaka/Luvia: "..."

For some reason, they felt much better when they saw that the target of the social death had changed.

Indeed, one's own happiness is built upon the suffering of others.

Chapter 399: Emiya Shirou, the Man with a Fragmented Personality

"..."

Seeing the light in Artoria's eyes, Feng Xi immediately understood what she meant.

This person was drawn to the Lion King character in the video.

Feng Xi: "When we get to Dongmu, we'll see if we can find one for sale. If not, I'll make one for you."

"Really!"

Artoria looked on with the expectant expression of a little girl.

Feng Xi laughed and said, "Of course, why would I lie to you about something like this?"

Artoria: "Mmm."

"Oh my, is Artoria experiencing a second spring in her life?"

The Foolish Spirit standing to the side thought with a smile, "But this should only be the first spring."

"...Ugh."

Kai watched this scene, sighed, and said nothing.

That's good, my king can finally escape that damned fate and enjoy his own life.

"Magic... I wish it existed. Like magic to fly, magic to do homework, and magic to fall in love..."

Ilya cradled the floating Lion King in her hands, her face flushed, whether from the fumes or from something she was thinking about, it was hard to tell.

"No, no, no, no, forget I said anything—"

Just then, Ilya noticed two twinkling stars in the night sky outside the window, and was somewhat surprised.

Was it a shooting star? But shooting stars shouldn't travel like that.

The girl stood up from the bathtub, opened the window to try and get a better look, but to no avail.

Ilya: "Ah!!!"

Despite the protection of the holy light, the scene in the video was still incredibly impactful.

If Blackbeard, that freak, were in the group, he'd be absolutely ecstatic.

Weber: "Ahem..."

Koles: "Is this really something we can see?!"

Zabizi: "Why did the content of this video suddenly become so explicit?"

Mrs.: "Oh, everyone, could you please close your eyes?"

"Om-"

Everyone in the group felt a chill run down their spines, and their hair stood on end. They quickly looked away.

At that moment, Ilya suddenly had a brilliant idea and said, "Oh my, if we turn off the bathroom light, we can see better, right?"

[No sooner said than done, Ilya actually ran to turn off the light and then returned to the window.]

She seemed to have forgotten that she hadn't flipped the "No One Here" sign on the door when she came in.

When Ilya returned, the two twinkling stars in the sky had disappeared, replaced by a shooting star that was getting closer and closer in her line of sight.

"Huh? Is it flying this way...?"

Ilya froze on the spot, watching the shooting star (ruby) get closer and closer to her.

Just at the critical moment, the bathroom door behind them opened.

[Shirou Emiya was seen entering, already naked, with the light on, intending to take his usual bath.]

The brother and sister were both stunned in the next moment.

Emiya Kiritsugu: "..."

Mrs:"..."

Stay-at-home husband: "..."

Seeing the gazes directed at him by his family, Shirou Emiya broke out in a cold sweat.

"Wait a minute, this has nothing to do with me, and it's clearly a misunderstanding in the video!"

Sensing the atmosphere growing increasingly cold, Shirou Emiya hurriedly offered an explanation.

"Oh, so Shirou really wants to take a bath with me? Why didn't you just say so?"

The mischievous Illya, always eager for drama, wrapped her arms around Shirou Emiya's neck from behind, adding fuel to the fire, "Next time, let's go soak in an open-air hot spring together."

Emiya Shirou: "..."

Looking at Kiritsugu Emiya and his wife, who both looked gloomy, Shirou Emiya suddenly felt that he would never see the sun rise again.

Red A, indicating that he had nothing to do with it, leisurely drank tea and watched the show.

"Ah, I saw the lights were off and thought you were already asleep, Ilya..."

Shirou Emiya hurriedly explained, "Ah, I know, please forgive me, I didn't see anything—"

【"ah!!!"】

[Ilya, almost in tears, screamed and sat back in the bathtub. The instant she sat down, Ruby burst in with a gust of wind, hitting her right in the bullseye.]

[Clang! Bang—]

[A certain older brother who openly built a harem in a yuri anime, slumped!]

Shakespeare: "Hmm, the way he fell down was quite beautiful."

Hans Christian Andersen: "You idiot, you actually like this kind of thing."
