Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

I got home early today. As soon as Shirou stepped into the garden, Irisviel ran out to greet him.

"Alice... are you alright now?"

Shirou struggled to pull his head out of the embrace of pleasure.

Irisviel blinked, puzzled. "What is it?"

It seems she has completely forgotten what happened last night, Shirou thought.

"Instead of that, Ilya went out with Sera and the others."

"Oh, I see. No wonder it's so quiet."

Shirou was led into the entrance hall by Irisviel's arm.

Sakura and Fujii are still in the archery club, and it's a bit strange how quiet the room is.

"Yes, by the way... it's just the two of us at home today."

Irisviel gave the frantic hints and pressed herself tightly against him.

Since Ilya's birth, Irisviel's demands in certain areas have become increasingly intense.

The red-haired boy sighed helplessly: it seemed that she wasn't going to let him into the living room unless he paid the "toll".

Although he could feel the warmth and love emanating from the silver-haired android, Shirou still asked the question coldly, even though he already knew the answer.

"What's wrong? It's so hot."

"Shirou is so annoying, he knows perfectly well what's going on..."

"I really can't help you."

Shirou slapped his hand down, saying, "You must be tired after a long day of classes."

"I'm sorry, but..."

"I just can't do anything with you, Alice... Okay, but you know what to do, right?"

"Ugh...yes~"

Irisviel nodded and obediently knelt down in the entryway.

She raised her head and looked up at the boy, her beautiful face filled with admiration.

Although she usually treats Shirou as a child to whom she pours her love, only at this moment... is he her master in control.

"?"

Hearing the commotion, Yustisa left the room.

Upon entering the living room, he leaned against the wall and peeked out—

"!"

Although she was somewhat prepared, the shocking scene still left Yustissa's mind blank for a moment.

My noble and dignified daughter, Irisviel, is actually with a human boy...

"Shirou...I love you~ I love you the most~"

That intoxicated look in her eyes and her fawning expression were completely at odds with Irisviel's usual image.

The "Winter Saintess" covered her mouth tightly and collapsed to the ground.

Although I desperately wanted to escape from the scene, I couldn't take my eyes off the two people.

Yustisa couldn't help but squeeze her legs together.

Volume 6, Chapter 265: Tohsaka Aoi's affection level is even higher than her daughter's! The classmate's mother's secret?

Friday night arrived quickly, and Shirou had arranged to visit Rin Tohsaka's house.

Come to think of it, Shirou has lived in Fuyuki for so long, but this is his first time visiting the Tohsaka family.

If the Matou Residence, exuding a sinister and eerie atmosphere, is like a medieval vampire castle, then the Western-style mansion located at the highest point of Fukayama Town is like a lord's residence.

Even though they are the biggest landowner in Fuyuki.

"Senior, do you want to go shopping together at the shopping street tomorrow?"

At the Amamiya family's dining table, Matou Sakura casually asked a question.

"I'm sorry, Sakura, I have to go out tomorrow and I probably won't be back until the evening."

"I see... um."

The purple-haired girl nodded somewhat dejectedly, then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Although he felt a little bad for Sakura, Shirou had already made a promise to her.

First, let's check with Rin Tohsaka to see what tomorrow will bring.

After confirming that everyone else in the house had left the living room, Shirou made a phone call.

"Hello, this is Tohsaka."

"Ah, Tohsaka? It's me."

"Amamiya-san, what brings you here so late?"

"Um...hey, Tohsaka, are you free tomorrow?"

"Hmm...maybe, maybe."

"Well, the day before yesterday at noon we agreed to visit your house... to repay a previous favor."

"Yes, sure."

After exchanging a few words, Shirou hung up the phone.

She noticed that Tosaka's speech was a bit slurred and halting on the other end of the phone. She wondered if Tosaka was alright.

Are we going to Tohsaka-san's house tomorrow?

"Eee ...

Shirou screamed—Irisviel suddenly appeared behind him with a smile.

"Did you...did you hear that?"

"Hmm, a little bit. Since Shirou looks very happy, I think the person opposite him is Tohsaka-san."

The silver-haired android squinted, covered its mouth, and chuckled, "So youthful...hehe~"

"Alice, stop teasing me. It's not what you think."

Shirou muttered something, while Irisviel playfully squinted one eye.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret from Sakura... Have fun tomorrow, and remember to say hello to the Tohsaka family for me."

"I already told you it's not what you think," Shirou retorted unhappily.

"I see. Then it's okay if I go and tell Sakura?"

"Please keep this a secret."

Shirou bowed his head deeply.

Irisviel stroked his hair affectionately: "Hehe, that's a good boy~?"

……

……

The Tohsaka residence looked luxurious and grand even from afar, and its imposing presence was even more striking when you got to the front door.

As Shirou calculated how long it would take to clean the house, he went over and rang the doorbell.

"------"

A long time passed and no one came to open the door, but Rin's voice came through the intercom.

"Who are you looking for?"

"?"

Shirou just confirmed it last night, has he already forgotten?

"Am I Emiya... Tohsaka?"

"..."

I heard a slight gasp.

"Oh, I'm sorry... I forgot you were supposed to come today, oh dear."

"This, this is it."

Shirou never expected that even the perfectionist Rin Tohsaka would be so reckless. Wait... something feels off.

Was her breathing a little disordered?

Shirou immediately recalled the time she fainted at school the day before yesterday.

"Hey, are you alright, Tohsaka? Something's wrong with you, what happened?"

"Something's not right? No, I—ah…!"

A thud was heard as something heavy fell to the ground.

"Hey, Tohsaka!? Are you alright!?"

'I'm fine... I accidentally tripped and fell... Ouch...'

The voice of Tohsaka on the other end of the phone disappeared, followed by a crashing sound.

Shirou realized that the microphone had fallen from her hand.

“…………Tsk.”

The doubt in my heart turned into a certainty.

Without thinking, Shirou reached for the doorknob, and then—

"Snap!" I was struck by a sensation like an electric shock.

The door itself wasn't locked, but was it protected by a spell that monitored outsiders?

So engrossed in his student life, Shirou almost forgot that this place was actually a magician's workshop.

"Sorry, Tohsaka, I'm going to have to be a little rougher."

In short, I destroyed the spell on the door. Although I'll probably be scolded by Rin afterward, saving lives is the priority, so I can't worry about that now.

"Tohsaka! I'm coming in!"

Push open the door.

What are they arguing about? The top student who speaks such sarcastic remarks is nowhere to be found.

Walking through the elegantly decorated corridor—finally found it.

A girl in red casual clothes lay back on the sofa in the center of the room.

"Hey, Tohsaka, cheer up."

Shirou shook her shoulders while checking for signs of magical overdrive.

"...Hmm...Ah...Huh?"

Rin Tohsaka shook her head and woke up in Shirou's arms.

"Why would Amamiya-san be...?"

"I made plans to visit your house today, do you remember?"

"Ah...right, I was planning to prepare some lunch before Amamiya-kun arrived...but..."

Rin Tohsaka looked bewildered, but her expression revealed apology, and she was still thinking about getting back on her feet.
