Nuclear Sword Immortal Starting from Type-Moon

Upon hearing this, Rin suddenly felt embarrassed and unable to save face.

He could only suppress his nervousness about the upcoming nighttime operation and absentmindedly returned to the classroom.

During class.

The teacher's voice echoed in the classroom, like a lullaby.

Shirou was sleeping soundly.

Time always seems to fly by when you're getting a good night's sleep.

Finally, evening arrived.

……

After returning home and having dinner, Rin locked herself in her room under the pretext of studying.

Compared to the heavily fortified Tohsaka residence, sneaking out of the Zenjou family's room was far too easy.

Rin climbed out of the room's window, slid down the terrace pillars to the courtyard, and then slipped through the small door over the wall.

She managed to run out in less than five minutes.

But on the way back, you can't use the same route.

After all, it's easy to slide down the terrace pillars, but it's difficult to climb up.

The thought that he couldn't hide his secret outing tonight and that his parents would definitely criticize him severely afterwards made him realize that he was being difficult to hide.

Rin told herself that she hadn't sneaked out for anything shameful.

It was because he was a member of the Tohsaka family and a future magician that he had to do this.

When you go back, be sure to take Qinyin with you.

No matter how much your parents criticized you back then, you must still have felt proud of yourself.

Rin's house is not far from the tram stop.

When they arrived there, they saw the familiar red-haired boy who was already waiting.

Rin's tension immediately eased considerably.

"Are you ready?"

Upon seeing Rin's arrival, Shirou asked in a relaxed tone.

Rin couldn't understand why this boy was so relaxed.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: we're going to rescue people, so there's a high chance we'll encounter danger!"

As if to make Shirou understand how dangerous this operation was, Rin explained it to him again with a serious expression.

However, even with this explanation, he simply smiled and nodded.

"Well, in short, it's best to be cautious, right?"

Rin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Does this guy even understand what he's facing tonight?

……

The tram traveled smoothly through the tunnel.

Because of the recent curfew, there were very few people on the tram at this time.

The carriage was empty, with only a few drunkards fast asleep on their seats.

Rin sat nervously next to Shirou, clutching a strange compass tightly in her hand.

This was the first time she had gone out this late.

If Shirou hadn't been with me, I probably would have been even more nervous.

"Shirou...where do we exit the station?"

Rin looked up at Shirou as she glanced at the station schedule posted on the train.

In terms of height, Shirou is exactly one head taller than Rin.

Near the Miwon River Bridge.

Shirou leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped in front of his chest.

He had a very relaxed demeanor, and even yawned casually.

His lack of any sense of crisis made Rin feel somewhat annoyed.

But this also miraculously relieved her inner tension.

Even Rin couldn't help but wonder, "Is it really not that scary?"

He's still just a primary school student.

Even though young Rin could imagine the enemy to be as evil as possible, she could not comprehend just how cruel those truly wicked people were.

However, Rin is far braver than her peers in any case.

Even Shirou sincerely admired this.

For a close friend, they'd go to such lengths.

This is something that children from ordinary families cannot do.

Ding Dong

With a slight jolt, the tram slowly came to a stop.

Shirou's wandering thoughts came to an end.

"Let's go, we've arrived."

Without saying a word, Shirou grabbed Rin's hand and headed towards the platform.

"Huh?"

Feeling that unfamiliar warmth, I tightly wrapped my hands around it.

Rin was stunned, even her thoughts were slow to catch up.

It wasn't until Shirou led her outside the station and let go of her hand that she belatedly blushed with embarrassment.

"Waaah...!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Under the cover of night, Shirou did not notice Rin's unusual behavior.

I only heard her let out a sob, and then she asked in confusion.

"Ah...no...I'm alright!"

Rin changed the subject, looking slightly flustered.

"Um! Where do we go next?"

Shirou briefly recalled.

"Hmm... Let's walk along the banks of the Weiyuan River first; there should be some clues there."

As he said this, Shirou looked at the girl in the red coat who was cowering behind him.

For some reason, I thought of the image of her with tears streaming down her face that I saw in the last moments before she died.

"Shirou, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Rin asked somewhat nervously.

"No, it's nothing, let's go."

As Shirou spoke, he subconsciously reached out to hold Rin's hand.

However, this time it did not succeed.

The moment Rin felt Shirou touch her hand, she blushed as if she had been electrocuted and hid her hand behind her back.

"...Let's go."

Shirou reluctantly withdrew his hand and walked ahead to lead the way for Rin.

Rin followed closely behind Shirou.

Chapter Forty-Five: Stand Behind Me

Seeing Shirou walking ahead with an easy stride, Rin, who was following behind, blinked.

She felt that this boy exuded a sense of mystery from every angle.

Although Rin knew that as a magician, there were some unique aspects to their abilities.

But the feeling Shirou gave her was completely different from the traditional magician that Rin knew.

They were heading towards the center of Fuyuki City.
