A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1238 1231. Angry Saber

reason……

“──────”

It was Saber who followed Emiya Shirou silently.

"........."

If I ignore her, she will definitely follow me all the way to school.

This needs to be said with certainty.

"Saber. Didn't I tell you to wait at home? You don't listen to your Master, do you?"

Emiya Shirou stopped and turned around.

Saber stared at him for a while, looking as if she wanted to say something.

"I don't know. A Servant would not follow the Master's instructions. I think maybe he didn't hear it?"

Saber turned away with an unhappy look.

He ignored Saber and walked down the ramp.

Behind him, of course, was Saber, who continued to release her stress silently.

"Don't go too far and go back quickly. If you follow me, it will cause me trouble. Do you really have to make it so clear?"

Emiya Shirou glared at the person who was standing exactly five meters behind him.

“──────”

It was unknown what she was dissatisfied with, Saber just protested silently.

...I can't stand it.

Emiya Shirou didn't know why he was so angry, but this guy was definitely mad at him.

“Is that so? It’s up to you then.”

This time he really ignored Saber and walked out.

Walked up the ramp leading to the school building.

Miyama Town is a town with many slopes, and this slope is particularly long among them.

From the school building located on a high ground, you can overlook the entire town.

It was about one o'clock in the afternoon.

Fortunately, no students were seen on the way to school.

On Sunday, people who are busy with club activities are probably still taking a lunch break.

"…It's good luck. But there's nothing we can do from here on, right?"

With a sigh, Shirou Emiya couldn't hold on any longer.

“──────”

Turned back.

Saber stopped walking, stared at him and walked up slowly.

...Is it because he has been ignoring her since then? Saber's displeasure has reached a new level.

“Saber.”

"Whatever. You said it's up to me, so I did it."

"...Hmm. You only listen to what you want to hear."

"Of course. Because I am a Servant, and I cannot watch my Master being exposed to danger."

"──────Really? I get it. I give up. Since you've given up, let's go to school together. That way you'll know that school is safe. Also, I'm sorry for scolding you just now."

“Eh———”

"Since we have decided on this, let's come up with a common excuse. Saber is my father's relative, and she is here to visit while sightseeing. Is that okay?"

Side by side with Saber, they went up the ramp together.

"Ah──────Okay. If it's convenient for Shirou, I have no problem with that."

"Okay, then it's decided... That's right, we'll meet sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter if I introduce myself now, right?"

That's right, that's right.

Since Saber lives at home, she will come face to face with Fuji-nee and Sakura.

"By the way, Saber. I forgot to ask you, what's with that outfit?"

"Rin gave me this. She said that since I can't become a spirit, I need clothes for everyday life, right?"

“──────”

This is quite surprising.

Rather than being so well prepared, it's more surprising to find that this dress that looked like something a rich girl would wear actually belonged to Toosaka.

"What about that suit of armor? Is it at home now?"

"No. That armor is made of my magic power. To dispel it means to make it disappear. When the battle comes, it can immediately protect my body."

"Hmph~ What? Does that mean that the weapon can be taken out and disappear at any time?"

"Yes. So please don't worry. Even if we are attacked by the enemy here, I will protect Shirou."

"I see. Well, that's reliable."

Was it a backlash that had remained silent until now, but now such a true word was spoken without realizing it?

Saber did not respond to his gaffe and slowly walked up the ramp.

Arrived at the school gate.

Now that we're here, we have no choice but to go in and just treat it as showing the transfer student around the campus.

"Saber. If someone calls you, don't say anything, just shake your head. It would be best if you can pretend that you don't know Japanese."

Emiya Shirou turned his head towards Saber.

"─────────"

"Saber? What's wrong? You look so horrified. Please don't scare me."

"Eh...? No, I wasn't looking at Shirou. It's just that the residual magic power is quite strong, and I was a little surprised."

"The remnants of magic? Really?"

Although Saber said this, he felt nothing.

...No, if it wasn't some powerful magic, he wouldn't be able to sense it.

"Yes. That being said, it's not surprising to Shirou. Rin is in the same grade as Shirou, right? This is a place where magicians of her level stay for more than a year. There should be a studio, so no matter how hard you try to hide it, some of the magic will leak out."

The magic power Saber felt seemed to be the scent left by Tōsaka.

“Hmph~ She’s also quite confused. She actually let Saber sense the magic power before she went in… Wait, is she in there now!?”

"No, Rin herself doesn't seem to be in there. If she were, she would probably feel it more strongly. There's no one who looks like a magician in this land... Although there's a sense of something wrong that's worrying, it's not dangerous at all."

"So I told you there's no danger. Now, we're going in, so you better follow me closely."

"Hey, it's Emiya. What's the matter? Are you here to deliver the food?"

"─────────"

It’s really convenient to have a close friend at a time like this.

The leader of the Kyudo Club, Ayako Mizutsugi, seemed to have seen through Shirou Emiya's intentions just by looking at his face.

"Thank you for your hard work. Just as you expected, I'm here to deliver the food. Is Sister Fuji in there?"

"Yes, yes. Oh, I'm saved. It's really troublesome that Mr. Fujimura is so energetic on an empty stomach. The school cafeteria is not open either. I'm still wondering whether I should go out and buy something."

"Is it that serious? You said you were going out to buy something? You're not going to go down to Fengyue alone, are you?"

"Where else can we go except there? We've already spent a lot of money on supplies, so it's inevitable to go buy emergency food, right?"

As expected of a beautiful woman, she hates unnecessary spending.

By the way, Fengyue is the name of a supermarket located in the shopping district. In the Kyudo Club, people who are resting their wrist muscles are asked to go out for shopping in the name of running.

…It’s a paradoxical routine that one runs to give his wrists a rest, but when he comes back, he has to carry a bunch of things.

“…That’s really pitiful. Here, the lunch box. It’s a little late, but please help me bring it to Fuji-nee.”

Emiya Shirou handed over the paper bag.

"Oh, a luxurious three-tier set. Really nice, I haven't seen one in a while. Emiya is really good at this kind of meticulousness."

I don’t know what she was happy about, but Meizhui smiled with satisfaction.

…By the way, this guy is really good at mass production.

Meizhu was responsible for most of the dinners during the training camp, and every time she prepared dinner, she amazed everyone.

It seems like potato curry with only the skin peeled is surprisingly delicious. The world of cooking is truly unfathomable.

...Well, let’s not talk about that for now.

Meizhui just took a peek inside and didn't take the paper bag.

"Hey. Forget the sarcasm and take it away. Isn't Fuji-nee in there having a tantrum and making things very difficult?"

"Yeah. If you think so, you should go in quickly and hand it over to Mr. Fujimura in person. Besides, if I tell her that you went back at the door, she'll be even more upset. I don't want to be fucked by Mr. Fujimura. Well, now that you're here, just accept your fate and go in quickly."

Point your chin towards the dojo.

"……………………"

Indeed, if you don’t go in and show your face, you will be in trouble later.

He wasn't here to hold the bow, he just had to hand in his lunch box and leave quickly.

There was really no other choice but to walk towards the archery field with determination.

"But, Mizue. You've been here for so long, why don't you check Fuji-nee's lunch box in the morning? It's not a good image for a counselor to look around at students' lunch boxes."

"No, that's because I was also very tired this morning. I've been a bit busy lately and don't have much time. But there's no point complaining to you──────"

At this moment, Meizhui suddenly came close to me, as if to whisper something to me.

"…Emiya. Who is that? She's a beautiful lady. Do you know her?"

Say this sentence with tension.

"─────────"

  That's right... Normally, people would be surprised when they see Saber.

What was even more surprising was that she was silently planning to follow him into the dojo.

"What's going on, Emiya? Is that someone you know?"

"It's going to be complicated to explain, but if you can just treat her as my friend, that would be best... and by the way, in order for her to go in without causing a commotion, if you can help convince everyone, I will repay your kindness."

"…………OK. It's a little worrying, but I like the exchange. Emiya, don't go back on your word later."

Open the door.

Saber wordlessly followed Emiya Shirou and Mizutsu.

Entered the dojo.

…After lunch break, the archery field was as chaotic as a battlefield.

"Teacher Fujimura! Misaki said his stomach hurt so much that he was about to die! What era was that dry bread from just now!?"

"It's just a normal stomachache! The teacher who ate with us is fine now, Misaki-kun, just let him drink some kelp!"

"Teacher Tiger! I want to practice shooting at straw targets. Can you please move the heater? It's so cold in the corner of the dojo—"

"Alright, you've got the guts to roll up your trouser legs and run three laps around the track. Change your bad habits for me."

"Teacher! There's blood. Kitako-san got her face cut by the bowstring!"

"Yeah, for a minor wound like that, you don't need to go to the health center. Just apply some aloe vera planted in the back hills."

"It hurts. Oh my god, why is this bow bent so much? Won't it make it hard to draw it?"

"Ah, over there! Don't grab it from the top and pull it hard. It's still new, so if you find it difficult, try with two people. If the bowstring falls off when you turn it over, I'll break your neck. Like this, with a snap. I'll do this to students who break an important bow!"

"Teacher! There is no anti-slip powder! My hands are slipping!"

"Eh, really? Who's going to the storage room to get the inventory--"

"Teacher, there is no stock! I think the reason is that the teacher forgot to declare it a few days ago!"

"Ah~ Then the first graders should go to the baseball club and grab their anti-slip powder!"

"Wow, this teacher is such a mess!"

The first-year students were in great distress.

"……………………"

Oh my goodness.

The scenery here really hasn't changed.

“──────Okay.”

We can't just keep looking at this Avici hell and crying out.

"Oh, just in time. Hey - Sakura!"

Emiya Shirou called to the female student who was putting on the finger guards.

“Eh, senpai…!?”

Sakura put down the bow in her hand and ran over with a surprised look on her face.

"Senior! Why are you here today? Um, could it be that..."

"Yes, I'm here to deliver lunch to Fuji-nee. Excuse me, please help take that teacher who's talking nonsense away."

"Ah────Okay, that's true... Now that you mention it, it seems like the teacher did make a phone call."

"?"

The smile from before was gone, and Ying hunched her shoulders dejectedly.

"That's what happened. Fuji-nee is probably just being too hungry. It's a little late, but I made a lunch box for her, so let her eat it. Also, I'm sorry I came home late yesterday. Thank you for making dinner for me."

"...Yes, I am happy to hear you say that, but..."

Sakura glanced behind me briefly.

Standing there was a blonde girl who looked out of place in this archery arena.

"…Um, Senior?"

"Hmm? What's wrong? Is it really too late? I also made Sakura's share, so this still won't work?"

"Ah, no, that's not the case. I'm hungry too... Um, I gave half of mine to the teacher."

"Yeah, I guessed that. I made Sakura's portion so it can be eaten right away, so it shouldn't have taken much time... In this way, no one will complain even if I continue to serve it, right?"

"That's right. Um, thank you so much, Senior... Will you stay in the dojo today?"

"That's true. It's a rare visit, so I'll stay in school until the club activities are over. Also, I skipped work yesterday, so I'll make dinner tonight. Sakura, come and eat too."

"────Okay, I'm happy to do that. Um, I'll go call the teacher right away. Senior, you can't just leave your lunch box there and run off somewhere else, okay?"

Sakura quickly went to call Sister Fuji.

Turning around, Mizue was explaining things to the members who had seen Saber causing a commotion.

────Okay.

In short, the original purpose has been achieved in this way.

"Ah! My stomach is full. The sugar has also reached my brain, so I can finally regain my energy!"

lounge.

Sister Fuji was drinking tea and eating some yokan as a dessert.

Maybe it's because Fuji-nee has become more obedient? The dojo is filled with the quiet sound of strings and arrows cutting through the wind.
