"Hmm---whew. So, have you finally done one more thing?"

Under the reflection of the setting sun, Emiya Shirou stretched his waist vigorously in the sky, and his relaxed tone and relaxed expression gave people the feeling of an office worker who had finally finished his work and put down the big stone in his heart.

However, few people could see it, and when his hand was lowered, there was a hint of loneliness in the corners of his eyes.

The situation is the same as when he sent Liangli back to Liangyi's house.

When he went out in the morning, he was still accompanied and came back, but he was the only one left.

Even if it is a decision made by oneself, this blank feeling alone is absolutely impossible to change.

"Well, I don't think I'll see them in the next two to three months, and I won't see them in half a year, right?"

As if to relieve the depression in his chest, Emiya Shirou exhaled a long breath, but at the same time, his eyes involuntarily glanced in the direction of the two girls' houses.

Didn't do him any wrong. This decision is arguably the most in the interests of both parties.

For him, the trip to the Tower to bring the two sisters to the Tower was undoubtedly a good thing, allowing him to reveal his identity more naturally, and in addition to eliminating the gap between him and Rin, it also shortened the gap between him and the two sisters.

In the case of Rin Tosaka and Sakura Makiri, entrusting them to Zelridge and Orange Aozaki in the Tower of Clocks is undoubtedly a good thing to have a better chance of meeting the real Magicians Association Academy, and to meet a famous teacher who is more suitable than Shirou Emiya himself.

However, even if it is an actual need, this feeling of emptiness will not be diminished by knowing this.

Man is such a wonderful creature.

When there are always too many things on your body, it is natural to yearn for a time off; But when the things on his body finally leave him, he will suddenly realize that he has nothing to do, and while remembering the past, he can only silently look for his next goal.

"Why don't you sit at the pawnshop in Yi Ai for a while from now on? It's good to stop by to visit Xiaoxue and Satsuki. Why don't you just take them out for afternoon tea every other day or two, no, no, if I do, the black-bellied sister may force me to do something I don't know in the name of harassing the staff, I was so lucky to be able to escape from the hell of the maid costume last time, this kind of luck is not possible. Let's take Saber out and get acquainted with the city, if it is now, within a considerable range, maybe she is more familiar with this place than I am, after all, I spend a lot of time outside of school teaching Tosaka them, showing her the shop, and studying magic on her own."

Although he is in the name of a god, Emiya Shirou has not detached himself from the concept of human beings after all. After releasing the time to teach Rin Tosaka and Sakura Makiri, in a moment, the free time in the future seems to be as endless as the white clouds on the horizon.

The mouth was like a nervous disorder and he was talking to himself, but the blueprint for the future couldn't spell out a clue, and for the first time, Emiya Shirou felt that killing time was such a troublesome thing!

No wonder Zhu Yue and Yi Ai felt so interested in him at the beginning

No wonder Zhu Yue and Yi Ai would find it so interesting to play tricks on others

In addition to being alone, he has to be very idle, even ten days and half a month Weigong Shirou may not be able to survive, but Zhu Yue and Yi Ai have spent an unknown number of thousands of years in the past.

As for their original mood, the current Emiya Shirou can be said to be more and more comprehensible

"Hmmm?!! Shirou?! Why are you here?"

Suddenly, a clear voice from the side interrupted Emiya Shirou's sorrowful contemplation.

"Is that voice Saber?"

Quickly looking up, Saber was greeted by Saber's rare, slightly panicked, delicate face.

Just as Emiya Shirou was wondering why she had such a reaction, the corner of his eyes unexpectedly swept over the bag containing Imagawa ware in her hand, and his mouth immediately smiled, and the dark clouds on his face disappeared without a trace, and suddenly joked, "Hehe, I see." Did you just meet the king's majesty on his patrol? I don't know what your majesty has gained from today's tour? Ah, except for the loot in your hand. ”

"What a faux pas! Shirou!" Poked in the soft underbelly by Emiya Shirou, Saber immediately retorted majestically like a lion who had been stepped on by the tail, "It is the duty of the king to inspect the people's livelihood and suffering!" I'm just doing my day job. As for this Imagawa burning, it's just a supplement to the body's military rations. I can't do my duty on an empty stomach, I said, Shirou, are you listening to me?!"

"Yes, of course I'm listening. How can our Saber not listen to his gleeful speech on the way of king?" As if intimidated by Saber's momentum, Emiya Shirou smiled and raised his hands and took a step back, but his gaze never took off the bag in Saber's hand, "Although, I think the fact that you unconsciously hugged the bag in your hand while talking seems to have a little effect on your persuasiveness." ”

"Hmm!! I'm just trying to keep it from falling to the ground. When Emiya Shirou pointed out his actions, Saber's face immediately added a touch of crimson, and he tried to change the subject and said, "Compare, compared to this!" Shirou, you are! Why the hell are you here now? I think you said you were going to do something at the Magicians Association today. ”

"Ahh

Looking at Saber in front of him, Emiya Shirou's heart unconsciously gave birth to a warm feeling, and even the expression on his face softened.

That's right, compared to Zhu Yue and Yi Ai at the beginning, he is much happier

"I'll tell you the details of that later, when I'm at dinner. Now the words "raised his head slightly, but the difference was that what appeared on the corner of Emiya Shirou's mouth this time was a sincere happy smile, "Why don't you go buy one or two meat buns to celebrate?"

P.S.1: Very good~ Well, after the end of this chapter, the laying of the Fifth Holy Grail War is basically complete (only one item is owed now), and the book is about to enter its final stage~.

Actually, if you really want to say it, this should be the fourth prequel, or the third point five, because after this chapter, there is actually a time lapse, but since the theme of laying the foundation for the Fifth Holy Grail War spans this time pass, it will be put together into one volume. Here's a psychological preparation for everyone, in addition to not deliberately writing the length of the Holy Grail War, the author Jun also shortens the length of the article because of the existing layout (such as establishing relationships, etc.), so in short, please don't expect it to be a whole volume in length~ To put it bluntly, it should be the same as the previous salvation Enqidu, assisting Zhu Yue, and so on, there should not be many main lines, at best, there are more than thirty chapters, and in terms of length, it may even be a little shorter than those.

So, to conclude with a small summary, progress seems slow due to all sorts of things, but as soon as the holidays come, the end of the book is immediately in sight. The preliminary budget has a good chance of being completed within the current academic year (i.e. before July 2015), and theoretically must be completed before the next academic year (i.e. before September 2015).

Regarding the new book, I will get a vote and a brief description later~ In fact, at this stage, the author already has several ideas in his head, and they all have a certain scale. Every author is very interested, but as for which one to write, it depends on the results of your subsequent voting~ Because no matter which author can write and want to write, the decision is left to those who have always supported the author~
