"Eh?" Shinji, after hearing he would be punished, closed his eyes.
But no matter how much he waited, nothing happened.
'Scared me for nothing... Nothing happened.' He checked his body for something missing. His hair was still there, his little buddy was still there.
Breathing, knowing he lost nothing, at least he felt like he lost nothing, not knowing that if he got back inside the house, he would be stabbed to death, Rider wouldn't stop Sakura, as she was her master.
Deciding to get out of the city as fast as possible
*WARNING: Host can't get out of the city or else he will be punished*
'Another fake threat? won't work on me'
*Go to the academy, or else you will know I don't do false threats*
"Humph! That won't work on me," he said, believing the system couldn't punish him. He took a bike from the Matou residence and rode, believing it to be his safety.
*3*
'Trying to scare me?'
*2*
Shinji started to get mixed feelings, but his determination to stay safe was bigger than any threat.
*1*
'It's ok, nothing will happen...'
*Starting punishment*
Suddenly, feeling great pain in his heart, he stopped.
*If you keep running away even without punishment, you will die. I'm trying to give you a chance to stay alive and even more...*
'Ok! Ok, I won't run, make this pain stop!'
*Punishment stopping*
*Quest: Go to the Academy and kiss a girl. The original quest was for you to kiss Rin Tohsaka, but the difficulty for that has risen due to previous punishments. You will get an additional Reward if you do so*
*Time limit: Today*
'Can I at least know what I will get?'
*You don't have permission, but if you complete it, you will get permission to see low-level rewards*
Hearing someone running and feeling the pain disappearing, Shinji felt relieved.
"Eh? Shinji, are you ok?" Shinji could hear a male voice, he knew whose this voice was from which made him more tense.
Trying to get up to face the person trying to help him.
"Don't get up!" Coming closer to him, Shirou Emiya said with a voice showing concern.
"It's Ok, Emiya! I'm all good, sorry for worrying you," Said Shinji with a smile.
'...?'
Shirou felt uneasy about those words. He and Shinji were friends, but lately, he felt that Shinji had been distancing himself.
This made Shirou think they could be closer again.¹(note at the end of the chapter)
Seeing Shinji trying to get back up, Shirou extended his hand.
Seeing that Shinji accepted the hand, "Thanks".
"Are you going to school?" Said Shirou.
"...Yes!" Said Shinji after a few seconds of hesitation
"Where's your bag?" Said Shirou, looking concerned.
"Oh yes, I will go back to get it, you can go first will talk to you later." Said Shinji, getting his bike on the floor and going back on his way to the Matou Residence.
When he came back, the house was empty, or so he thought.
Opening his room door, he saw a Rider sitting on his bed.
"Forgot something?" She said while holding his bag with her right hand.
Freezing for a few moments, he then walked to get his.
'So she's already summoned... That's ok, I just need to not get involved...'
Getting close enough to touch, Rider Shinji extended his hand to get his bag.
Quickly, Rider moved the bag far from Shinji, making him rush to get it, but Rider moved just enough to make him trip over her.
One of his hands fell over her breast, and the other on her waist.
Thinking about what happened, Shinji said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Maybe I was wrong?" thought Rider. She knew how short-tempered Shinji was.
But she soon noticed he was fondling her breast. It was something Shinji would do, but his technique was better, as if he learned it overnight.
She almost moaned but suppressed it; she didn't want to appear weak in front of Shinji. She disliked him—just seeing his face brought back awful memories, both from her past life and her 'future.'
Shinji moved closer to her and said closer to her ear, "Can I?" Rider could sacrifice her body if it benefits Sakura.
After seeing Rider nod, Shinji kissed her lips, and the moment he did it a notification appeared.
After noticing what he was doing, Shinji stopped and took his bag back, walking to the door, feeling as if he kept doing it, he would end up dead.
Shinji felt like his body was being controlled, but not by the system, almost like the synchronization of both him and Shinji reached another level.
'What? He stopped? He's being weird... Did he also get memories like me and Sakura? But if he did, he would have run from the city... That's the kind of coward he is...' She couldn't believe, Shinji was controlling his lust and not attacking her or Sakura.
"You changed..." Said Rider
"Did I?" Shinji didn't look back and opened the door.
"Yes, you wouldn't refuse a woman lying on your bed..." Rider is trying her best to allure Shinji to know if he has truly changed. She wanted to kill him like Sakura wanted, it would help both of them, but she saw more than one fate for her, and seeing that Shinji, who changed earlier than her memories, regressed, she felt like he was responsible for it.
After a sigh, Shinji looked at Rider and said, "I am late, but if you really want me, I think you can wait for tonight, right?"
Saying so, he got out of the room.
*clap clap clap*
*Congratulations, I didn't expect you to get a kiss from one of the heroines, although she doesn't like you in the slightest, she wishes to know the reason for your changes... as promised, here's your reward, you still can get the extra reward if you kiss Rin*
*Rewards: Your permissions to the system were raised, and new things are enabled, an additional skill for taking a kiss from one of the heroines, choose between these options*
*Sexual skill will go from E to EX*²
*Riding skill will go from F to A+*
*Immunity to Mystic Eyes of petrification*
'By the rules of Rogue-like games, the option is obvious...'
¹(no homo, although there can be some gender swap dunno, I don't have a far thought about the future of this fanfic)
² Yup, that means Shinji's "skill" was F but with the new mind it was raised to E
