After Shirou reassured her for a while, Sakura finally agreed.

Next, Shirou ordered Karna to protect the house.

"Master, are you sure you're okay by yourself?"

Karna, in his spirit form, asked with some concern.

"No problem, you just need to protect the home."

Shirou replied.

Currently, Shirou's strength is completely overwhelming when facing a magician, and even when facing other Servants, he is able to escape unscathed.

Now is not the time to reveal "Unlimited Blade Works".

Furthermore, with Karna, a top-tier Heroic Spirit, as his Servant, there's no need to expose the power of "Unlimited Blade Works".

After leaving home, Shirou walked on the road to Yatsushirodai Elementary School.

The orange sunlight slanted across my face, bringing a gentle warmth.

After a vividly clear experience of death, facing the sunrise like this early in the morning, with my skin and eyes simultaneously enjoying the warmth of the sunlight, even familiar scenery seems different.

Shirou squinted, savoring the temporary peace.

This residential area east of the Miwon River was originally a new town built during a period of rapid growth, when the wilderness was developed.

Although it was not originally planned as a historically rich mountain town, Fuyuki City is facing a large-scale redevelopment project due to the government and the public's plan to build a modern commercial street using the site of the former state-owned railway.

Although 40% of the buildings that will soon become a commercial street are still unfinished, the park and shopping mall in front of the station are about to open.

The soon-to-be-completed new capital will appear with a clean yet pale, gorgeous yet impersonal appearance.

The municipal government gradually moved to the new city, and steel bars, glass, and paint were combined to form various modern buildings.

The urban functions of this remote mountain city are gradually being forced to change.

It wasn't until they arrived at the elementary school gate that Shirou realized even the school's name had changed.

"Yashirodai Elementary School?"

Although he had some doubts, Shirou was certain that he had taken the right route, so he calmly followed a group of elementary school students into the school.

Thump—clang—

A strange sound came from the loudspeaker, and the children who had come to school in groups quickened their pace when they heard the bell.

"Today I also have to deal with naive questions and learn from a group of elementary school students..."

Shirou took a deep breath.

I really hope this kind of time will pass quickly.

Suddenly, among the group of students who were about to be late, Shirou keenly noticed a girl who stood out from the crowd. She looked to be about his age.

She wore a school uniform that was no different from the girls', but her twin ponytails were like a trademark, making Shirou take notice.

"Rin Tohsaka...shouldn't she be living in Zenjo?"

Image: "Twin Ponytails", Location: "Images/1673154265-100352746-109772500.jpg"

Shirou frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"It seems that the restart of the world line has changed some things."

With this in mind, I stepped onto the stairs.

After making his way to the second floor, Shirou found his own classroom.

Before entering the classroom, Shirou saw Rin Tohsaka heading towards the fourth classroom, while Shirou's classroom was the first one after going up the stairs.

Gently opening the back door of the classroom, Shirou stepped inside. As soon as he entered, he saw a group of elementary school students chattering noisily.

In the lower right corner of the blackboard at the front of the classroom, today's number and the name of the student on duty were written in white chalk.

"Hmm, it doesn't look like it's me."

Shirou felt a little relieved and then went to his seat in the last row.

As Shirou sat casually in his chair, propping his cheek up and looking out the window at the bare cherry blossom tree.

"Hey, Orihara-kun, aren't you even bringing your backpack?"

A child sitting on the right suddenly noticed Shirou's relaxed appearance and looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Shirou reached into his desk, a strange light flashed by, and he pulled out his textbook.

"...Are you doing magic?!"

Chapter Nine Projection Experiments

Just as Shirou was giving the kids at the next table a little magical surprise, the math teacher who was giving the lesson walked into the classroom and started the class.

The elementary school math was too simple, and Shirou couldn't help but doze off halfway through the lesson.

The main problem is that the teacher was teaching knowledge that Shirou already knew by heart, so it went in one ear and out the other, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

"I wonder what the situation is back home. With Karna there, we should be safe..."

While Shirou was lost in thought, someone suddenly called his name.

"Alright, then please stand up and answer this question, Orihara-kun!"

Shirou, who was called upon, immediately sprang to attention and looked toward the podium.

It was only then that Shirou realized that all the students in the classroom were looking at him.

Some even wore gloating smiles, clearly having transformed into pure amusement seekers.

"..."

It seems I've been caught slacking off.

Shirou thought to himself.

However, a topic that is only for elementary school students is not difficult for me at all.

Shirou stood up abruptly, walked to the podium, and then, amidst the surprised gazes of the elementary school students and the math teacher beside him, casually wrote down the answer.

"Ah this..."

The female teacher, her mouth slightly agape in surprise, adjusted her glasses and stood there stunned for several seconds before she came to her senses.

"...You answered very well. You may leave now, Orihara-kun."

The original plan was to punish students who didn't pay attention in class, to make an example of them, but the situation has completely reversed.

The female teacher's eyes flashed with a strange light as she watched the red-haired boy walk toward her seat.

She had just deliberately given a question that hadn't been covered yet, and the child was actually able to answer it.

In short, after this little incident, the female teacher was no longer able to control Shirou.

Class time was so boring that school ended before 4 p.m.

When Shirou finished packing up and was about to leave after school, he was suddenly stopped by a few elementary school students.

Because of today's classroom incident, they seem to want to be friends with Shirou.

"Orihara-kun, we're going to the amusement park today, do you want to come with us?"

"I have something to do today, maybe next time."

Shirou politely declined.

"Uh... okay then."

The children left, somewhat disappointed by Shirou's rejection.

Shirou waited outside the school gate for a while, and only started walking after Rin Tohsaka left the school.

"I feel like a pervert."

Even so, I am only seven years old, so I shouldn't be viewed that way.

And so they followed Rin Tohsaka all the way to the train station.

Shirou, who was watching from the crowd, paused for a moment as Rin Tohsaka walked into the train.

"Did you take the tram home...?"

Admittedly, this was somewhat unexpected by Shirou.

Having followed them all this way, Shirou was reluctant to just return, so he boarded the train.

Even as the train arrived at the station, Shirou continued to follow the girl, mingling in the crowd.

After following for a while, Shirou stopped only after watching Rin Tohsaka enter Zenjo's house.

Stop.

"It seems that only the Yatsushirodai Elementary School has changed; there is no sign of the Zenjo family moving."

Having confirmed this, Shirou turned and left.

"In that case, let's take advantage of the early hour and find a place to test the power of the Heroic Spirit I've acquired."

……

After leaving his Zenjou home and returning to Shinto Ward, Shirou found an abandoned factory and began experimenting with his powers there.

"Let's try projecting the swords 'Gan Jiang' and 'Mo Xie' first."

It's a good opportunity to practice swordsmanship. Although Shirou received the power and instructions on how to use the projected weapons when Archer transferred his power in the future, Shirou still needs to confirm it.

Otherwise, if someone messes up at a crucial moment like Tokiomi Tohsaka, that would be really ridiculous!

Shirou found an abandoned factory and began to "project" various Noble Phantasms into it. He could easily "project" various sword-type weapons, and the amount of magic power consumed was not much.

"really not bad!"

However, while defensive weapons such as projection shields or armor can do this, they consume 2 to 3 times more magic power than a typical "projection".

Unfortunately, modern weapons are difficult to project; at best, only something that looks good can be created.

In addition, Shirou also enhanced the projected twin swords "Gan Jiang and Mo Xie", successfully lengthening the blades so that their appearance completely transformed into weapons that could be called longswords.

First of all, "Gan Jiang and Mo Xie" are a pair of famous swords with a heritage from the Great Foodie Kingdom.
