The Fifth Holy Grail War.
It's been ten years since Father died. The Tohsaka family's unfulfilled wish or whatever, honestly I'm not interested, but with this Holy Grail War, I'll prove my abilities.
That's all.
I tried to summon Saber, but I confused the time and ended up summoning Archer... Still, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Since he's the Servant I summoned.
I was absent yesterday because I overslept... but today I'm properly heading to the academy. Since Archer in spirit form can be seen by other Masters or Servants, I'll leave him in a place somewhat distant from the academy.
As soon as I entered the academy, I felt that some madman had set up a bounded field. Seriously...
So there's at least one Master in this academy.
"Hey there? Good morning, Tohsaka."
"Ah, hello."
Walking down the hallway to the classroom with troubled feelings, I encountered a teacher who newly arrived this term. In his 20s, about the same age as Taiga-sensei, I heard.
"The students in the academy seem particularly unwell today, but you look healthy. I was worried since you were absent yesterday. The academy's madonna?"
"Please stop teasing me..."
He seemed to have a sly, unpleasant personality, but also seemed like the type who genuinely worries about students. To begin with, even though he's a teacher, he's still a student teacher, so he didn't have a properly assigned subject.
"Then have a hardworking day~"
The teacher left after greeting me. Since he's a foreigner, his name was unusual...
Time passed during academy life... and it became lunchtime. Should I eat on the roof today...
Today I'm troubled, so I decided to make do with a simple bread from the school store and head to the roof... The science room door was slightly open. In the silent hallway, some sounds came from the science room.
"Haa, haa...♡ Sensei...♡"
...Wh-what's that...?
Sa, Sakura...?
"Really, you're the best, Sakura. You're truly the best woman..."
Wh-what are you doing... At school, a teacher and student... And, Sakura...?
Wasn't that Sakura supposed to like Emiya...? Now, with a student teacher...
I, I didn't see anything. Yeah... But, doing that at school... Yesterday she was with a blonde foreigner, and now doing that at school... How much have you changed, Sakura...
Even while eating, it swirls in my head. I didn't really want to see what others do... Especially since it's my sister's... Haa.
Is this reality? It's not some illusion, right? No, even if using illusions, what kind of madman would use such an illusion...
Let's forget it... What can I do now? As an older sister, scold her for her promiscuous private life? What am I doing after 10 years...
First, the important thing is the bounded field. There was one thing on the roof that seemed to be the source of the bounded field. If I do it now, the one who set it will notice, so I'll do it in the evening when there are no students.
"What, eating alone on the roof?"
"...."
That man, did he come after doing it with Sakura... This is getting out of hand. Is that kind of man going to become a teacher later? What does Sakura see in such a man...
"Really... There's so much paperwork to sort through lately, it's troublesome... I was in the staff room until just now, and thanks to Kuzuki-sensei, I came to catch my breath for a moment, see?"
"... Huh?"
"? What's wrong? Tohsaka."
"... No, it's nothing."
It's only been 5 minutes since I came up. First, I need to check the time frame with Kuzuki-sensei.
Later, the time frame I heard from Kuzuki-sensei before lunch ended matched. Then, what was that I saw in the science room at that time?
A Servant's doing? Did someone summon a succubus or incubus or something!?
Did I make an unnecessary misunderstanding... It must be a misunderstanding, right? Unless I saw the future or past for some reason...
Seeing Sakura walking in the hallway, my face turns red for no reason. Even if it were real, it's Sakura's private life... At least that appearance wasn't forced. But I hope it was fake...
Time passes, evening time after everyone has left school.
I go up to the roof and remove the source of the bounded field. Phew, now I can rest easy.
"What, removing it?"
"!!!"
Then, a man's voice comes from above the water tank. This voice...?
"Y-you..."
E, Emiya-kun...?
He's buff... No, wait!?
"Y-you, why are you here..."
"Well, this is also work, you see. No personal grudge."
Then a sword appears in Emiya's hand along with flames. Magecraft, no... Servant!?
Whoosh~!
"Khh!"
What, what!? Emiya-kun being a Servant... To begin with, such a thing shouldn't be possible, why am I panicking! Was it an illusion like earlier during the day!?
Quickly applying reinforcement magecraft, I jump down from the roof, and Archer catches me.
"...."
"Archer?"
Archer's expression isn't good. Does that mean the opponent is that strong...?
"Fast, aren't you? Brat. So? Is this guy my opponent?"
"..."
Archer glares at Emiya, and then white and black short swords are gripped in his hands.
"Kanshou and Bakuya. The completion looks good."
"... Who are you?"
"Hmm? Ahh~ That? Do I have to reveal my True Name? Then how about you go first? Brat. In that case, I'll tell you my True Name too. No, to begin with, someone like you should know, right?"
"..... I see. So this is also another possibility."
"Archer...?"
"Stay back, Rin."
I step back a little from behind Archer, and then the Servants' battle continues. A man manipulating flames, creating swords and swinging them... Maybe because it's Emiya-kun's appearance, I thought it was really cool... I shouldn't think that. If Archer sees him that way too, what level of Magic Resistance is being pierced?
Clang! Clangclangclangclang!!!
"Khh!"
"As always, pathetic durability! Come back after more training, brat!"
Kwa-gwagwagwagwa!!!
Then a sword strike that tears the ground. Archer is being pushed back... If it's Archer, use your bow! If you create distance, you can use it, right! Why do you keep insisting on close combat!?
"Ahh, my oh my. Did I ruin the schoolyard..."
He suddenly stepped on the ground and made a troubled expression. Then he shrugged and sighed.
"Well, I should go back for now."
"Running away..."
"We haven't even started yet? And, I haven't even used my trump card yet. I look forward to seeing how you'll handle it then."
He disappears with a chuckle along with spirit form. Emiya-kun's appearance... Perhaps there was a hero among Emiya-kun's ancestors?
"... I need to check."
"Rin?"
"That's definitely Emiya-kun. I need to check. Follow me, Archer!"
"Really..."
First, to the Emiya house! There must be answers there. This is the Holy Grail War, the side with more information has the advantage!
I quickly run to the Emiya house, when something quickly passed overhead in the sky. That just now, a person...?
"..... Rin?"
"? Why, Archer?"
"No, that just now... It's dangerous!"
Clang!
Archer showed a strange reaction, then jumped in front of me, protecting me from a mysterious Servant who suddenly attacked me. That's...
"An alliance, perhaps. A sword-wielding Servant, Rider?"
A blonde knight... Could it be, Saber? But an alliance...?
"Hey Tohsaka! What exactly do you want!? Now you're suddenly wearing a school uniform!"
"Haa...?"
The reaction of Emiya-kun who rushed out of the mansion afterward... What is this, am I dreaming? What's going on...? What's that reaction?
"Well, it's entertaining to watch you guys flustered as things go according to plan. By the way, Kama... Could you stop using my appearance to do things among yourselves?"
"You told me to cause confusion, didn't you? What could be better than this?"
"That's true but... I don't intend to show others what I do. And, you're getting special treatment now since I do it for you every day..."
"You said I turn you on~ Who was it that started first?"
"It's because of you guys that my libido has become vigorous... After a few days, I'm sexually frustrated... Anyway, good work everyone."
"Hmph, this much isn't even work. Tricking one man or so... It's easy work for a goddess."
