Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

With a slight commotion, the train whistle sounded, and the carriage carrying everyone began to slowly accelerate.

"I am Rodin, the conductor of this train. I apologize for interrupting your pleasant conversation."

The man lowered his head and began his explanation:

He gave the same name as the famous sculptor.

"This train is scheduled to travel around the Fog Country in four days and three nights before returning to London."

During this period, please take your time to appreciate the Magic Eye collectibles. The auction that everyone is eagerly anticipating will be held on the third day.

It's fine to transplant the obtained Magic Eye immediately or keep it by your side. The transplant won't take much time, so please don't worry.

Conversely, guests who wish to display their Demon Eyes should come to me, Rodin, between the evening of the day after tomorrow and the evening of the third day.

"—You can also come to me, Leandra, who works as an auctioneer."

"It was the short-haired woman who appeared next to the conductor."

She was wearing a fur coat and had her eyes covered with a belt, but she had no difficulty moving around.

"Next, I will introduce the guest rooms to you. Please come this way."

After saying this, the conductor, who claimed to be Rodin, nodded again in acknowledgment.

……

……

The guest rooms assigned to Shirou and Rin were incredibly luxurious, yet still comfortable.

Although the train itself is narrow, the simple furnishings make it feel less cramped, and the gas lamps cast a soft glow inside.

The rule is that one invitation letter is assigned to one room, so each room is furnished with three beds.

On the way to the room, Luvia acted coyly, which was out of character for her dignified demeanor.

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka tentatively asked, "Um, Ms. Luvia... do you mean you want to share a room with Amamiya-san?"

Luvia nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Ah... um, I wish it could be like that..."

"I'm fine, okay?"

Luvia: "Is it okay? But Shirou..."

Rin Tohsaka: "Anyway, there are three beds, right? Even if Amamiya-san disagrees, it's not up to him."

"Thank you so much! We really are good friends!"

Luvia excitedly grasped Rin Tohsaka's hand, and their friendship deepened further.

"I have no objection," Shirou thought to himself as he listened to the conversation silently.

The three entered the guest room.

"By the way, there are only three beds in this room."

Rin Tohsaka put her hands on her hips and looked at the uninvited guest in the room—Yvette L. Lehman.

"Oh, please don't mind me~"

Wearing a single eyepatch, Lolita wrapped her arms around the red-haired boy's arm: "As Lord Shirou's mistress, all I have to do is sleep in his bed."

Shirou said speechlessly, "Miss Yvette, when did you become my mistress?"

"Right now, of course! From my petite and adorable chest!"

"Ah... Shirou-sama, would you like to touch it? Of course you can, you Lolicon! Feel free to rub it to your heart's content!"

The blindfolded girl smugly rubbed her slender breasts against Shirou's arm, while Luvia's eyes seemed to spit fire.

First, peel the girl who's stuck to you off.

"Ah~ All I need to do is sleep in Shirou-sama's arms."

"I'm sorry, there are no extra beds available in this room."

Shirou escorted Yvette to her room, sensing that Rin and Luvia's anger was about to explode.

The girl shrugged with a regretful expression: "Well... never mind! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway."

Well then, Shirou-sama, I'll take my leave now. If you get lonely tonight, you can call me anytime, okay?

No need for you to come in person, I'll strip myself naked and deliver myself to your door~ That's how convenient I am~

"Okay okay."

Shirou closed the door, and the guest room returned to silence.

Because we might need to use that girl's intelligence network, we can't afford to offend her too much.

Shirou felt extremely tired shortly after boarding the train.

Ah... finally I can take a break.

He walked to the table and brewed some black tea.

"Speaking of which, my self-introduction was interrupted."

Luvia looked at Rin's face, who had just become her friend, and realized that she didn't even know Rin's name yet.

She rose from the bedside, gracefully straightened her clothes, and then extended her hand.

“I am Luvia Zelita Edelfelt.”

Rin Tohsaka smiled and shook her hand back: "I'm from Japan, and my name is Rin Tohsaka."

"Toosaka...?"

Luvia's expression gradually froze.

"Please wait a moment, this family name, I do remember it—"

"!?"

Rin Tohsaka suddenly felt as if her right hand, which was holding her hand, was about to be crushed.

The next instant, she was sent flying into the air and slammed hard into the ground with a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.

"........."

Shirou stared in disbelief at the horrific scene before him, spilling the red tea he was about to drink all over the floor.

Volume 6, Chapter 281, "He Changed the Clock Tower"—Shirou

"Shirou-sama~~~???"

The next morning, just as he stepped into the restaurant carriage, a pink figure rushed towards Shirou with astonishing force.

He instinctively dodged to the side, and just then, the star-shaped eye patch of the Lolita girl faintly glowed.

As if she had anticipated Shirou's prediction, Yvette held his arm tightly in her arms.

Is this her demonic eye...?

Shirou blinked his sleepy eyes; he was feeling very listless.

"Oh dear, Lord Shirou, what happened to you? You have such dark circles under your eyes."

Yvette frowned, then covered her mouth as if suddenly realizing something: "Could it be that you had a very enjoyable night with those two girls last night?"

"You actually had a threesome all night long, Shirou-sama, you're amazing!"

The girl puffed out her cheeks cutely: "Waaah! Why didn't you invite me for a 4P?"

"Stop talking about 3P and 4P so early in the morning..."

Shirou protested listlessly, then sat down at a dining table.

There's a reason why he has such prominent dark circles under his eyes.

Let's rewind to last night—

"I'm from Japan, and my name is Rin Tohsaka."

Rin Tohsaka grasped Luvia's hand, smiled, and introduced herself, after which Luvia's expression froze.

"Toosaka...?"

"Wait a minute, this family name, I do remember it—uh?"

"From Japan... Shirou's classmate... Toosaka from Fuyuki...?"

The next instant, the Edelfelt family's daughter grabbed Rin Tohsaka's hand and slammed her hard to the ground with a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.

"…………ah?"

Shirou stared in disbelief at the scene, completely dumbfounded.

Of course, even more dumbfounded than him was Rin Tohsaka, who was thrown upside down.

"Ugh...!"

She pressed her head down and struggled to sit up.

Luvia narrowed her eyes: "Wow... she actually neutralized the impact of the throw at that critical moment?"

Her mind didn't react in time, but her body reacted instinctively, and Rin Tohsaka absorbed most of the force when her back hit the ground.

"What...what are you doing all of a sudden!?"

"Shut up----!"

Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth, not expecting the other person to be even angrier than she was.

"You, you, you, you, you're really good at calculating! I never imagined you were Tohsaka—"

"The despicable, vile, and filthy Tohsaka woman, who used the Holy Grail as bait to lure magicians into ambush...!"

　"........."

Rin Tohsaka recovered from the shock.

"Wait... what did you just say? How do you know so much about Fuyuki?"

Luvia crossed her arms and looked down at him, saying, "Hey, of course I know about Fuyuki... I've even investigated your ancestors."

Listen carefully, you—Rin-saka's bloodline cannot possibly contain a single drop of noble blood.

Although I don't know what went wrong that led you to start learning magic, please be realistic about your abilities.

"…………"

Rin Tohsaka stood up silently.

From being completely bewildered to dumbfounded and then enraged, she gradually regained her composure.

"You said you were Edfield, huh... I finally remember."

"Yes, that name sounds familiar. Oh, it's Edfield!"

"You two, wait a minute... what's going on here?"

Shirou stepped between the two to prevent them from clashing again.

Rin Tohsaka revealed a sly smile: "Edfield of the Third Holy Grail War—"

Isn't that the same incompetent Finnish noblewoman who turned against her sisters and hastily withdrew from the ceremony?

Because of his resentment, after fleeing back with his tail between his legs, he kept instilling in his descendants the idea that "Tohsaka is terrifying and Tohsaka is hateful"...

"See? I was right!"

"Uh……!"

Luvia's face stiffened: "Only lame jokes work, huh... You can't take back what you just said, you know?"

Rin sneered dismissively, "Those are my lines."

You probably can't even manage a proper dogeza (prostration) to beg for mercy, can you? A pampered aristocratic lady raised in a greenhouse?

Shirou understood: "Do you two know each other?"
