Fujimura Taiga, Tohsaka Rin, Emiya Shirou, Illya, and Wu Yue sat at the dining table eating.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Moreover, Wu Yue kept feeling like someone was secretly watching him, but when he looked up, he found everyone was quietly eating, and he couldn't tell who it was.

As was their habit, Wu Yue washed the dishes and chopsticks together with Emiya Shirou.

During this time, Wu Yue tried to be alone with Matou Sakura, but he couldn't find an opportunity.

"It was much more enjoyable for the two of us to clean up the dishes. Thank you, Wu Yue."

Emiya Shirou, who was washing dishes nearby, spoke up.

Wu Yue was washing chopsticks, but her eyes were fixed on the television.

—Today's Fuyuki City news: A large area of ​​the forest surrounding the city was completely destroyed overnight. Was it an explosion caused by a gas leak? A terrorist attack?—

"Oh? Ah... It's nothing, it's nothing. After all, I live here, so it's only right that I help out."

"Um...and thank you so much for what just happened. I was a bit out of it after being hypnotized, and I just took someone home without thinking. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened next."

"It's okay, I'll help you if I know the answer, don't worry."

"Um……"

Emiya Shirou answered softly, his face slightly flushed. He didn't know why, but he felt a great sense of security whenever he was with Wu Yue.

But something felt off. He was the man, and Wu Yue, the woman, was the one who should be protected.

"By the way, isn't Rin Tohsaka coming today? Weren't we supposed to discuss the Holy Grail War together?"

"Rin Tohsaka? I don't know much about Rin Tohsaka. She also took the day off from school today."

Emiya Shirou replied.

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Emiya Shirou nodded, then suddenly remembered something.

　(bfca) "By the way, Fujii-nee! Could you please take Sakura there?!"

Sister Teng seemed to be engrossed in watching TV and didn't hear anything.

"Sister Teng?!"

Sister Teng swayed slightly and turned to look at Wu Yue.

Wu Yue subconsciously looked left and right, and when he realized that they were looking at him, he smiled politely.

Sister Teng turned around and looked at the TV again.

"I'm sorry, we can't take Sakura back for the time being."

"Huh? Why?"

"Since I'm moving in here starting today, how about Sakura moves in too? I'll contact your family, don't worry~"

Sakura, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment.

"Eh? Okay... okay! Please! Fujimura-sensei is so reliable!"

"Hey? Wait a minute! I haven't..."

Emiya Shirou was about to say something, but Fujimura Taiga immediately interrupted him.

"Okay! Then let's sit in the inner room. There are plenty of blankets. Wu Yue will be fine with that, right?"

As Fujimura Taiga spoke, he looked at Wu Yue.

"Huh? Ah... of course."

Wu Yue replied with a smile, thinking to himself that he finally had a chance.

Celestial Empire

"Guys, why does this feel like watching a lighthearted slice-of-life anime?"

"Nonsense, I've said it countless times. This war of national destiny will last longer than any other. It's not about defeating anyone, but about making Emiya Shirou fall in love with me."

"Fight! Fight! Damn it! It's getting dark! I want to see Wu Yue fight in a sexy bodysuit!"

"Oh my god... Is my wife really planning to make Shirou Emiya fall in love with me? I'm the rightful wife..."

"Isn't anyone paying attention to Ilya? She's quietly changing channels and watching TV all by herself, so cute!"

"Holy crap! The screen went black!"

In the evening, Fujimura Taiga chose a room and stayed there with Matou Sakura.

Emiya's residence is actually quite large; five people live together in four rooms, making it quite lively.

—It has been detected that the representative from China will be taking a break. To protect their privacy, live broadcasts of the representative from China will be temporarily suspended.—

Lying in bed, with the voice of the National Destiny System echoing in his mind, Wu Yue hesitated before changing his clothes.

It was a gray kimono-style nightgown borrowed from Shirou Emiya.

Ilya changed into her pajamas, lay in bed, and quietly stared at the ceiling without saying a word.

late at night.

Wu Yue felt it was time, so he got up, pushed open the shoji door, and prepared to go out.

"Where to go?"

The voice suddenly rang out, and Wu Yue turned around to see that it was Ilya, who had already sat up and was rubbing her glasses.

"I'm going to see someone. You go to sleep first."

Ilya shook her head.

"I'll go as well."

As Ilya spoke, she began to pull back the covers.

"You'll catch a cold like this... Oh well, let's set up the conversation here then. I'll be right back."

"Uh-huh."

Wu Yue gave a wry smile, then walked out and closed the shoji door.

As the footsteps grew fainter, Ilya glanced at the teapot on the table on the other side.

When the lights were turned off, Wu Yue made a point of observing the room that Matou Sakura had chosen to stay in.

Standing at the door, I patted the shoji gate.

Who is this?

Matou Sakura's soft voice.

"It's me, Wu Yue. Can we talk? About the marking worms inside you."

"Eh?"

Soon, the shoji door was pulled open, and Matou Sakura looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with surprise and wariness.

In the quiet Emiya residence, only one room was lit, where four women sat, one of whom was on the ceiling.

Black Widow lay prostrate on the upper level, quietly looking down at the three women below.

Wu Yue, Matou Sakura, and Illya sat around a small table, each with a cup of tea in front of them.

It was just brewed by Ilya.

"What brings you here? Who are you? And how do you know about my Crest Worms?"

Matou Sakura didn't drink the tea; instead, she looked at Wu Yue with a wary expression.

"I've killed Zouken Matou, and I've purified all the Crest Worms in the Matou family. Sakura Matou, do you want to go back to the life of a normal girl?"

Sakura Matou stared blankly at Wu Yue, still not understanding the meaning of his words.

long time

"Huh? What...what are you saying..."

Wu Yue extended his hand to Matou Sakura, and at the same time, a blue magic circle appeared in his palm.

"Divine dispel of the curse."
