Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Chapter 274 Next stop: Clock Tower

"What? You actually dared to sneak up behind me. You never learn your lesson!"

Rin glanced at Emiya, who had a horrified expression on his face, and nonchalantly retracted her legs that were stuck in the wall. The skirt that had fluttered up with the violent movement also dropped down due to gravity.

Anyway, she was wearing safety pants, so it wouldn't matter if the other party happened to see under her skirt.

"…Hey, hey, you didn't even say sorry after doing something like this…"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you tell that I'm someone who can say sorry?"

Toosaka Rin crossed her arms and looked at the other person indifferently. She was not surprised that the other person appeared here, but she was too anxious just now and didn't pay attention to her surroundings, so when she felt a hand attacking her quickly, her first reaction was to fight back.

"…As expected, I knew that I would never have a good life following you…"

"Did you just say something?"

"No! No!"

"Ah That's good."

"..."

Shirou Emiya felt ashamed. He shouldn't have taken this young lady seriously...

"…By the way, what were you doing there just now? You looked very excited. I thought something good happened to you."

"What good thing... I just got mad at a bastard..."

"Eh? There are still people who dare to mess with you now. Does he want to die?"

“…Here!”

Seeing Shirou's incredulous look, Rin didn't bother to explain. She opened her phone and showed Shirou the series of birdsong and flowers she had sent to Shinji.

The other party was first shocked by the astonishing number of unread messages, and then noticed the person's name.

"Is it Shinji!? Is he back?!"

When Shirou saw that there was news about Shinji, his first reaction was happiness. After all, Sakura had always been worried about him, and they had always cared about each other's whereabouts when they were in high school.

At the same time, he really admired the other party's strength and wisdom. Although the process of the Holy Grail War was very complicated, it was thanks to him that Fuyuki City was not completely destroyed in the end...

Although it didn't make much difference in the end.

However, Rin was quite dissatisfied with Shirou's happiness. After all, she was still angry... But since she had just accidentally kicked the other party, it was not appropriate for her to say anything more at this moment.

"Okay... let's not talk about this for now. Where's my lunch? Did you bring it?"

After putting away the annoying phone, Rin immediately put on a cute face and moved closer to Shirou. As expected, she immediately found her lunch box in the other's backpack.

This woman…

Shirou looked at this crazy woman with no sense of boundaries and just wanted to run away quickly... It turned out that he shouldn't have been curious about the world of magic in the first place, and he shouldn't have chosen to follow Rin to the Clock Tower.

This woman is using him as a long-term meal ticket...

……

"Sakura? Aren't you ready yet?"

Shinji was sitting in the living room drinking tea, feeling a bit bored. Sakura was still busy sorting things out in the room...

After he said that they wanted to go traveling together, the girl never stopped working. Looking at the three large suitcases that had been vacated on the side, Shinji even felt that the girl wanted to move the entire house away.

Especially after he personally stopped the other party from stuffing a whole pot into the suitcase, Shinji became more certain of his idea.

"We are just going out for fun... there is no need to bring so much luggage..."

"Eh? But I feel like these will all be useful."

Sakura hugged two pillows and stared at Shinji blankly...

"…Look, this is actually unnecessary. We can do it whether it's a hotel or buying a house directly. Why do we need all that?"

"But... things outside would be uncomfortable to use, so things at home would be better..."

"You don't need to bring so much, do you?"

Shinji spread his hands helplessly.

He washed his face and changed his clothes, then sat here drinking tea and watching Sakura dismantle the items in the house bit by bit.

"Well, then...then I'll take out some more..."

In this way, under Shinji's suggestion, Sakura successfully compressed the original large pile of luggage into two suitcases.

Now they can finally set off...

He closed the door, said goodbye to his neighbors, and finally locked the gate of the Matou family's house.

Sakura was wearing a sun hat and light blue casual clothes. She looked up and realized that her brother had gone to the roof again without her noticing. He had been urging her just now, but now he was procrastinating again.

Shinji just stood quietly on the roof of his house, looking out at Fuyuki City in the sunshine.

Ryudo Temple, Fuyuki Bridge, Civic Hall...those iconic places all evoked his past memories, but after two years of renovation, there are basically no dilapidated buildings left.

At most, some terrain has changed, and the construction team is probably too lazy to fill it up, so it may bring many magical sights to future generations.

Oh ~ when the time comes, they will have to appreciate the wonders of nature...

But then again, he had only just arrived in Fuyuki, and he didn't expect to have to leave again so soon.

“…Although I miss it, now that I have completed the Fuyuki dungeon, it is time to explore new maps.”

A breeze blew up Shinji's hair, revealing his left eye that was not like that of a human. Although there was no need to hide the Rinnegan deliberately, he still covered it slightly to avoid causing more unnecessary trouble.

After taking a final look at Fuyuki City, Shinji took a deep breath and jumped off the roof right in front of a child holding a lollipop in his mouth in the opposite window.

"Blatter...Wow! Mom! Someone jumped off the building!"

"…Sakura, let's go!"

"Next stop...Clock Tower!"

"..."

The taxi driver looked back at Shinji in confusion, and for a moment the place called "Clock Tower" didn't come to his mind.

Sakura on the side smiled awkwardly, pushed her brother's head away, and said to the driver:

"Fuyuki Airport, we're in trouble..."

……

"…[He] seems to have already set out to leave Fuyuki City."

"…Has the Holy Grail carrier of the Einzbern family come into contact with the other party?"

"Yes, but it seems to be just a meeting."

"Um…"

"Send someone to keep an eye on [his] actions. The changes in the Fifth Holy Grail War are closely related to [him]... and the chaos in the Middle East, although there is no evidence, it should also be related to [him]..."

"So...should we go and give it a try?"

"...I think it's inappropriate. The other party's ability is too unknown. It's best not to make an enemy with it lightly."

"It's okay. He just bought a ticket to England, so the Clock Tower will welcome him..."
