A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1216 1209. Morning Routine

Speaking of Mizue, she is the female captain of the Kyudo Club that Sakura belongs to, and Emiya Shirou has a good relationship with her.

"Hmm. That guy said bad things about me to Sakura again?"

"Yes. The senior said that she must show off her archery skills to the senior before he graduates. Now she practices hard every day."

"Ah. Now it's clear that Meizhui's rank is higher. That's just how it is. People in memories are always invincible. Although being beautified is not a bad thing, it depends on the person."

"Because Senior Mizue really doesn't like to lose. I think she thinks of me as a strong rival."

As she spoke, Sakura put the rice into the bowl.

It's almost half past six.

The Kyudo Club's morning exercises start at seven o'clock.

Although it is a free participation system, you can't be too relaxed.

"Teng-sister should be here soon. Never mind, it's her fault for not coming at this time. Sakura,

Let’s get started.”

"That's true. Come, senior, please have some."

Sakura smiled and handed the bowl to Emiya Shirou.

"Master Xuanhao, please too."

"Yeah." The man who had been silent and seemed to be thinking about something responded calmly.

“────────Hmm.”

Oh.

Although it is a normal thing every morning, I was inadvertently attracted by those white fingers.

“────────Hmm.”

How should I put it? It's terrible.

Maybe it's because she's in her puberty period, but Sakura has an inexplicable charm lately.

That natural movement was really beautiful, and I swallowed more often.

  Was this the retribution for not treating Sakura as a member of the opposite sex? Now he was more aware of her feminine side────

"Senior? What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. Don't worry about it."

"?"

Really, he lost.

Why are you so nervous about your friend's sister?

Sakura is just a good and sensible junior school girl who must be taken care of.

And originally, the relationship between Sakura Matou and myself was just that of a junior and a senior.

To be honest, Sakura is a beauty.

Sakura already stands out among the first-year students, so there must be a lot of people who want to date her.

Especially recently, the areas that should have grown have also grown longer, and his natural movements often fascinate him.

This is the subtle issue.

Worrying about whether I will fall in love with my friend’s sister.

  Normally, it's nothing, but sometimes, when something unexpected happens, like just now, it makes me blush.

Yes, as a senior, is this a problem?

There is breakfast on the table.

There was chicken breast and mitsuba salad, teriyaki salmon, blanched spinach, miso soup with red and white radish, and even yam soup. It was truly an impeccable dish.

"I'm gonna start now."

"I'm gonna start now."

"start."

After they sat up straight and said "Let's eat", they began to eat quietly.

The only sound was the clinking of chopsticks.

Basically, Sakura is not a talkative person, and the same goes for that man, and Shirou Emiya doesn't have the ability to speak while eating.

So naturally, meals are quiet.

Normally they would be a little noisier, but this morning, the noisy person might have watched a spy movie last night. She covered her face with a newspaper and secretly observed them.

"Teacher Fujimura, I think it would be better not to read the newspaper while eating."

"..."

Fuji-nee ignored Sakura who spoke a little politely.

Although this is indeed suspicious, Fuji-sister's strange behavior at the dinner table in the morning is also very common.

Sakura was probably used to it, so she continued eating without paying any particular attention.

If anything, Sakura cooks Chinese food.

I learned how to cook Japanese-style dishes after I came to help the Emiya family.

Shirou Emiya and Sister Fuji both prefer Japanese style, and the man seems to like Chinese food more. But Sakura also wanted to cooperate with them at least for breakfast, so she learned some Japanese cuisine.

Now Ying's ability has surpassed that of his master.

Especially the teriyaki salmon, the control of the fire seemed to have entered the realm of God.

The taste of miso soup is also first-rate, and I recently had plenty of ground yam to make yam soup.

By the way, it seems that the yam soup was not just served today.

"Sorry. Sakura, get me some soy sauce."

"Oh, no, Senior. You ran out of soy sauce yesterday."

"Then Sister Fuji's will also work. Bring it here."

"Teacher Fujimura, is this okay?"

With a hum, Sister Fuji nodded.

There was a sound of Kasha and the newspaper shook.

"Please help. Senior, would you like some yam soup?"

"Yeah. Usually yam soup is served with soy sauce."

Shizu——Emiya Shirou added soy sauce to the yam soup.

After mixing it, I added it to the rice and took a bite.

Well, the stickiness of the sweet potato paste and the overly strong spicy taste of the soy sauce did not appear.

"Ouch! This is disgusting! This is the seasoning! And it's oyster sauce!"

Emiya Shirou couldn't help but spit out the food.

And at this time...

“Gugu, ahahahahahaha!”

With a snap, Sister Teng threw the newspaper away.

"So, this is the campaign to swap the labels of seasonings and soy sauce early in the morning!"

“Wow~”, the female spy excitedly raised her hands.

  "What are you thinking about so early in the morning? You are already 25 years old, Sister Fuji, and you are still...

Such a character!"

"Hehe, now you know how much I hated you yesterday. You joined forces with everyone to bully my sister. This is the natural punishment from heaven, right?"

"Heaven's punishment isn't man-made, is it? I was wondering why you were so quiet, but it turns out you've been planning this since yesterday, you idler!"

"Yeah - so now I have to hurry up and get my test scores. Yeah, so if I don't act quickly, it will be bad!"

With a whoosh, Sister Fuji sat back in her seat and finished her breakfast with great vigor.

"Okay, I'm full. Today's breakfast is delicious too, Sakura."

"Ah yes. Just a simple meal, sir."

"Then I'll be leaving first. If you two are late, I'll be angry—"

Dadadada—Sister Teng just ran away like that.

When I thought that the person was a teacher in their school, I felt that the world was really wrong.

"Um, senior?"

"I'm sorry. I couldn't enjoy my rare breakfast because Fuji-nee ruined it."

"No, I'm not talking about that. Did you do something to Teacher Fujimura yesterday? You tampered with the food. It was a bit too much for Teacher Fujimura." "No, that's because I accidentally called her by her nickname yesterday."

"That's no wonder. Didn't you apologize to Mr. Fujimura?"

"I'm sorry. I forgot about it because it was such a common thing."

"That won't work. Because the only thing that Fujimura-sensei doesn't like is for the senior to call her by a nickname. The senior must have made the teacher cry again."

"She ran away crying like a rabbit. Thanks to her, I was able to accept the Student Honor Award made by everyone using the papers in their notebooks after the English class yesterday. But of course, I threw that thing into the trash can."

"Really? Then it was Senior who was wrong this morning."

To Sakura, Fuji-nee is like her own sister, so she basically stands on Fuji-nee's side.

Of course this is a good thing, but I also hope that she can think about him, who is with Sister Fuji all day long.

Originally, Sister Fuji was my father's friend. After Emiya Shirou became my father's adopted son, she often came in and out of this house.

He has often shown up since his dad passed away, and now eats breakfast and dinner at my house, making it clear that he wants to eat for free.

───That’s not right.

Maybe it was because of Sister Fuji that he was able to come here alone even after his father's death.

Now he, Fuji-nee, Sakura, and the man who doesn't have a strong presence but seems to be everywhere, these four are the residents of the Emiya family.

Having said that, I'm the only one who knows that my dad is a magician.

He said that magicians have to hide their true identities.

So he became his father's apprentice, but he kept the fact that he was learning magic a secret.

However, even though he is learning, he is still a novice magician who cannot perform a satisfactory magic trick.

For someone like him, it probably wouldn't make any difference whether he hid it or not, but his will left instructions, so he continued to exercise every day while hiding it.

After breakfast, I started getting ready for school.

While listening to the news on TV, I cleaned up the dishes with Sakura.

“───”

Sakura stared at the TV blankly.

The screen displayed the sensational subtitle "Gas leak accidents occur continuously."

It seems that a major accident happened in Xindu, the next town.

The incident occurred in a building on a commercial street, and everyone inside was in a critical condition of hypoxia and unconsciousness.

Although it was treated as an accident caused by a gas leak, the same thing has happened frequently recently.

"Are you concerned about the news just now, Sakura?"

"Eh────No, I didn't. I just thought that if the accident happened in Xindu, it would be quite close. Senior, are you working in Xindu?"

"Yeah, but it's not that big of a store. I don't think there will be any accidents like the ones reported in the news just now."

Having said that, this kind of accident cannot be ignored.

If there was a gas leak, it could happen in every household. More importantly, hundreds of people were killed, which made Shirou Emiya feel a little heartbroken.

Similar accidents occurred one after another, and there was also a rumor that they were caused by cutting corners during the rapid development of the new capital.

  Regardless of whether it was true or not, he really didn't want any more victims to appear────

"It's really dangerous. We have to be careful too."

"Ah, please don't worry about that, Senior. I always check the gas tap twice, so don't worry."

Sakura puffed out her chest proudly.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Yeah. He had thought about it before, and Ying seemed to be a little off the track for some reason.

"Senior, is the door inside locked?"

"It's locked. I bolted it. Any problem?"

"No. Then I'll lock the door. When will you be back today, Senior?"

"I think it'll be later. Where's Sakura?"

"I'm the same as usual. I think I might arrive early, so leave the dinner preparations to me."

"Well, thank you. I'll be back as soon as possible."

With a click, the door was locked.

As usual, the man disappeared after dinner. Sakura and Fuji-nee both had the key to the house, so the door was locked by the last person to leave.

"Let's go. If we don't hurry up, we'll miss our morning exercise."

"Okay. Let's walk a little faster then, Senior."

Emiya Shirou and Sakura walked towards the town together.

After passing through the long wall and walking down the slope, there is a residential area with a lot of people in front of you.

The Emiya residence was located on a slope, some distance away from the center of the town.

If you walk down the slope like this and exit the residential area, and then walk further down, you will reach the intersection of the central area.

There are various forks in the road from here, including the bridge leading to the next town, the slope leading to Ryudo Temple, the residential area to the front and back of his house, the shopping street that Sakura and I often go to, and finally the school we are going to now.

Go straight to school without wandering around.

Without saying much, he went up the slope with Sakura.

Because it was just seven o'clock, the way to school was quite deserted.

Apart from them, the only people walking leisurely on the road were students participating in morning club activities.

"See you later then. Good luck to the club."

Saying goodbye to Sakura at the school gate was the same as usual.

Because Sakura joined the Kyudo Club, they separated here in the morning.

"it is good."

That being said.

But this morning Sakura did not go in the direction of the Kyudo Club.

"Sakura? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, that's not the case, Senior. Would you like to visit the dojo once in a while?"

"No, I have nothing to do at the dojo. Besides, I have something to ask of me today, so I have to go to the student council as soon as possible."

"That's true. I'm sorry for saying some unnecessary words."

Sakura lowered her head and bowed.

"?"

"Well, I'll be leaving now. Please look forward to dinner, Senior."

Sakura ran off in the direction of the dojo with an apologetic look on her face.

"?"

  Eh. Is there any meaning behind what I just said?

"Issei, are you there?"

"Yes. It's a little late this morning, Emiya."

  Are you rehearsing? The boy raised his head while looking at something that looked like a report.

"Only 10%? What happened to the others? It shouldn't be strange for them to arrive at school at this time."

"No, unfortunately our employees are very professional. They make very clear decisions about their working hours and don't seem to plan to arrive early or work overtime."

"So the student council president is doing all the chores himself? It seems like it's very hard work."

"How could that be? I volunteered. It wouldn't be reasonable to ask Emiya for sympathy."

“? No, I don’t sympathize with Kazue.”

"Yeah, that's a pity, but let's just forget about it. We're both being too suspicious."

Dongdong, Yicheng, who was organizing the report, was the boss of this student union room.

Issei is a guy who is trying to radically change the idle student union and has been my friend since first grade.

His full name is Ryudo Kazunari.

Contrary to his ancient name, he has an elegant face and is actually very popular among female students.

And he is also the student council president, which is like adding wings to a tiger.

"Hmm, after all, hot tea that numbs the tongue is the best in the morning."

But even as he sipped his sencha while saying this, Emiya Shirou still didn't understand.
