Nuclear Sword Immortal Starting from Type-Moon

"Senior, I broke our promise yesterday."

Artoria puffed out her cheeks, her eyes filled with resentment.

"I'm sorry, Lily, I had something to do yesterday..."

Shirou explained with a hint of apology.

"It's okay... I wasn't really expecting you to come looking for me anyway."

The girl turned her head away, leaving Shirou with only a ponytail.

Although he said that, his deep resentment was almost overflowing.

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Witch's Favor Can Never Be Repaid

The girl's eyes were filled with resentment.

But Shirou didn't care at all at that moment.

Because he had prepared for this in advance.

A magical glow appeared in his hand, and a bag of chocolates materialized.

"Consider this an apology."

"What...what is this...?"

The exquisite wrapping paper is adorned with alluring colors.

This made Artoria's heart flutter.

"It's chocolate, a dessert."

"Although I've forgotten whether this existed in this era, what I'm giving you is something that no one in this era could possibly make."

Shirou explained.

After all, this is a modern dessert that has undergone countless iterations and improvements and is widely loved.

Artoria, intrigued, opened the packaging upon hearing this.

Then I broke off a small piece of chocolate and put it in my mouth to try it out.

In an instant.

The emerald green eyes widened instantly, flashing with an astonishing light.

"So delicious...!"

It has a hard and crunchy texture, with a slightly bitter taste when you first put it in your mouth.

But as you chew, a rich sweetness quickly fills the air, instantly captivating your taste buds.

Fortunately, Artoria is an understanding girl and easy to coax.

She forgave Shirou with just a bag of chocolates.

Next, it was time for a friendly sparring session.

Artoria's growth rate is astonishing, so today's sparring is undoubtedly more intense than before.

Shirou was more serious than usual before he managed to suppress the girl's attack.

When they got tired of their sparring, the two lay down on the pile of wheat and chatted while gazing at the sky.

Shirou took the girl's soft hand in his.

The girl's hands were soft, delicate, and small, and felt wonderful to hold.

Clear sky.

White clouds drift lazily by.

A gentle breeze swept across the open fields, carrying the sweet scent of wheat.

In such a leisurely and pleasant environment, Shirou felt drowsiness gradually creeping into his mind.

He slowly closed his eyes.

My body felt like it was falling.

At that moment, my consciousness seemed to sink into another realm.

A pure halo appeared before him.

Warm, gentle...

It was as if a little angel was embracing him.

The next instant, a unique scene appeared before Shirou's eyes.

In the center of the spiraling, gray clouds, a vortex-like void formed.

It looked down at him like a cold, indifferent pupil.

An indescribable emotion welled up in my heart in an instant.

Anxiety, worry, doubt...

Wrath, sloth, pride...

As human beings, from human beings

A surge of malice and desire rose in my mind.

I want to eat.

He wanted to kill.

I want to laugh.

I want to yell angrily.

I want... more.

……

"Senior...Senior...?"

The sound came from afar and approached.

Like floating up from the water, you regain the feeling of breathing.

Warm sunshine, gentle breeze.

Birds are singing, and flowers are swaying.

Everything was so peaceful.

Shirou's mood calmed down a little.

"Senior, how did you suddenly fall asleep, and why..."

Artoria's voice trailed off as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Shirou looked down and realized that the hand he had been holding with the girl's had somehow become intertwined with hers.

Looking at the shy, blushing girl, Shirou felt a little hot.

"Don't you feel a little hot, Lily... Shall we go swimming in the river?"

"Swimming...?"

The girl paused for a moment, then shook her head vigorously as if she had just realized something.

"No, no, that won't do!"

"Why? Are you afraid of being seen?"

"Don't worry, I'll use 'Dispel Idlers' to keep everyone else away."

Shirou said reassuringly.

Magic tricks like "dispersing idlers" were far too simple for Morgan.

She taught Shirou in less than two minutes.

To date, he has learned dozens of magic tricks from Morgan.

Even without using physical strength or Noble Phantasms, Shirou could hold his own against a "color-rank" magician using only magic when facing a modern magician.

With further study, even facing a "Grand" magician of Aozaki Touko's caliber would likely be a piece of cake.

Every magician in the Clock Tower is given a rank corresponding to their strength.

Although this rank was only 'self-proclaimed' by the Mage's Association.

From highest to lowest, they are:

Crown, color, ceremony, sacrifice, opening, long, end.

For example, Kenneth, who has already arrived in Fuyuki City, is a magician of the "Brand".

The highest rank, "Grand," is extremely rare and does not appear easily.

But if we're talking about the "Grand" magician that left a deep impression on Shirou, it would have to be Aozaki Touko.
