Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Upon hearing Rin Tohsaka's words, Shinji Matou's expression immediately became agitated, and he wanted to rush over and fight Rin Tohsaka to the death.

He was then quickly subdued by Matou Sakura, who was standing to the side.

"Brother, you're now violating the rules by appearing in the Holy Grail War. If you continue to engage in private battles within the academy, you'll likely be detected and removed immediately—"

With a worried expression, Matou Sakura tried to persuade Matou Shinji, who wanted to rush forward and fight Tohsaka Rin to the death.

“Damn it!!!!”

Shinji Matou, who was about to rush towards Rin Tohsaka, immediately stopped, his face contorted with rage.

"Take good care of yourself, then return to Earth to enjoy the halo of your genius. You, Shinji Matou, the Asian gaming champion who lost in the first round without even having the strength to resist a girl—!"

Rin Tohsaka looked at Shinji Matou, who was being forcefully pushed back onto the hospital bed by Sakura Matou, and uttered a merciless taunt.

The effect was remarkable! It dealt a fatal blow.

Shinji Matou could only groan and groan as he expressed his anger towards Rin Tohsaka.

Why would there be a woman like this in the world? Eight-year-old Shinji Matou is writing in a little notebook for Rin Tohsaka.

The moment I return to Earth, I will use my advanced hacking skills to completely delete all the data on her computer.

Although Shirou Emiya defeated him in the first round, Shinji Matou also desperately did not want Shirou Emiya to die in this Holy Grail War.

On one hand, no matter how unwilling Shinji Matou is to admit it, Shirou Emiya is his savior, the one who risked his life to pull him out of that crimson hell.

Although he didn't show it, Shinji Matou was filled with gratitude in his heart.

Secondly, if Shirou Emiya loses in the second round, wouldn't that show that his title as the Asian Games Champion is not very valuable?

He was eliminated by someone who was eliminated in the second round.

Shinji Matou felt ashamed just thinking about it.

If Shirou Emiya can overcome all obstacles and become the victor of the Holy Grail War, then losing to Shirou Emiya in the first round doesn't seem like a big deal.

Shinji Matou is more able to accept being defeated by the champion of the Holy Grail War.

After all, he is only an Asian gaming champion; there are still people who are stronger than him.

In other words, without any threat to his life, Shinji Matou wants to help Shirou Emiya obtain the Holy Grail.

"Hey! Hey! Tohsaka, let Shinji go!"

Looking at Matou Shinji lying on the hospital bed, his face flushed and his blood surging, Emiya Shirou also spoke softly to offer some advice.

He's only eight years old, don't worry about it so much.

"Humph!"

Rin Tohsaka glanced at Shirou Emiya, who was speaking up for Shinji Matou, and immediately turned her head away.

Shirou Emiya immediately understood the signal that Rin Tohsaka was conveying.

She's unhappy!

"Zheng——!"

Suddenly, a crimson beam of light reflected from somewhere and shone directly on the corner of the wall that Rin Tohsaka was looking at.

Then, Rin Tohsaka's body began to tremble, her head seemingly wavering between turning and stabilizing.

"Zheng——!"

A second turquoise light was reflected away.

Even though she didn't know what kind of beam of light it was, Rin Tohsaka's body trembled even more violently, as if she were fighting against a demon, her teeth clenched tightly together.

"Zheng——!"

The moment the third voice rang out, Rin Tohsaka revealed her gentle and refined smile, quickly turned around, and even looked at Shirou Emiya with an indescribable joy in her eyes.

The next second————

Her hands transformed into phantoms that even Shirou Emiya could not catch; in just an instant, the three gems in Shirou Emiya's hands vanished without a trace.

"How could I possibly accept this?"

With an uncontrollable smile on her face, Rin Tohsaka swiftly stuffed it into the empty space beneath her.

Shirou Emiya had no idea where she had put the gems.

"A snobbish woman!"

Shinji Matou, lying in his hospital bed, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement at the sight.

At the same time, a clicking sound seemed to appear in the air behind Rin Tohsaka.

Shinji Matou met the gaze of that air and once again clicked his tongue in strong agreement.

"Do you think I can't handle you here at school?!"

The tic-tac-toe symbol appeared on Rin Tohsaka's forehead, and her fists immediately clenched together.

Emiya Shirou felt very bad that he always consulted Rin Tohsaka and even took up her time analyzing his opponents, so he wanted to pay Rin Tohsaka a reward.

Rin Tohsaka initially refused, but Shirou Emiya offered her just too much.

When she saw the gems shimmering with various colors, her legs immediately went weak, and she couldn't move anymore.

At that moment, the door to the infirmary was gently pushed open.

Chapter 583 The Third Battle Begins!

"Shirano! You piece of trash actually survived the Second World War?!"

As the chestnut-haired girl pushed open the door, Shinji Matou's expression became extremely excited.

Nothing is more exciting than seeing your best friend survive.

However, Shinji Matou still couldn't change his speaking habits; the words that were about to come out of his mouth immediately turned into sarcasm.

"Kishinami-kun, I didn't expect you to win the second round without regaining your memories. Congratulations!"

Rin Tohsaka seemed to recognize the chestnut-haired girl named Hakuno Kishinami who had barged in.

"You were back then—?"

Emiya Shirou also recalled his first meeting with this chestnut-haired girl.

He was the one who secretly followed Leo during the preliminaries.

That's not entirely true.

Emiya Shirou was following the short-haired black man who was with Leo, while Kishinami Hakuno was following Emiya Shirou, who was also following the short-haired black man who was with Leo.

Although Shirou Emiya discovered it later.

"Hello there!"

The chestnut-haired girl didn't seem to have any hostility. When she saw Shirou Emiya in the infirmary, she reached out her hand to him.

After all, the strange thing he felt at the beginning was when Shirou Emiya picked up Sakura Matou, who was not noticed by anyone else, at the school gate.

That's why she noticed the various anomalies at the school, and it wasn't until Leo specifically guided her that she was able to summon a Servant and participate in the Holy Grail War.

Emiya Shirou was also slightly taken aback, then extended his hand to introduce himself.

It wasn't that he was puzzled by the girl's sudden outstretched hand; it was simply because he sensed the disgust emanating from behind Kishinami Hakuno.

Or perhaps it's some kind of strange hostility.

It is clear that Hakuno Kishinami's servants, like Rin Tohsaka's servants, harbor a slight hostility towards him.

Although Shirou Emiya didn't understand why he felt a sense of disgust.

"Are you ok?"

Kishinami Hakuno looked at Matou Shinji, who was lying on the hospital bed and could hardly move, and couldn't help but speak.

Having no memories of her own, the only person she knew was a close friend named Shinji Matou.

So when the second round ended and he didn't know what to do, Kishinami Hakuno decided to visit Matou Shinji, who had been eliminated in the first round.

Although his personality is indeed terrible, he is still her best friend, and she is used to Shinji Matou's self-centered personality.

"Ha! You want to care about me? You'd better think about how you're going to survive the third battle!!"

Shinji Matou seemed completely oblivious to Hakuno Kishinami's concern, looking at him with extreme disgust.

Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but want to speak up and mock Shinji Matou, trying to deflate his irritating personality.

However, considering the three gems, Rin Tohsaka decided to let him off the hook for the time being.

"The third round of battles will begin soon!"

Hearing the conversation between Shinji Matou and Hakuno Kishinami, Shirou Emiya also spoke up to Rin Tohsaka, who was standing nearby.

After all, several days have passed since the end of the second round, and most magicians have already finished their second rounds. It seems that the third round will begin soon.

"Hmm, we need to be prepared. I wonder who our next opponent will be?"

Rin Tohsaka answered Shirou Emiya with an indifferent expression, as if she could easily defeat any enemy.

However, at this moment, what she was thinking was that it must not be Emiya Shirou.

"By the way, Kishinami, have you not regained your memories yet?"

Seeing Kishinami Hakuno leaning over as if wanting to join the group chat, Tohsaka Rin also asked with concern.

Although she claims to be a magician who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals, she can't help but lend a helping hand to people like Hakuno Kishinami and Shirou Emiya who are in need.

If Shinji Matou were to suffer such hardship, it would be incredibly merciful for her to pretend she didn't see it. If it weren't for the school's prohibition against private fights, Rin Tohsaka would have been ready to go up and kick him a couple more times.

No, I still can't remember who I am.

Kishinami Hakuno shook her head in response to Tohsaka Rin's question. Even after experiencing two battles, she had not regained any of her memories.

"What is the ultimate reason I continue to fight—?"

Even now, she remains confused, unsure of her reason for fighting.

She discovered that she wasn't participating in the Holy Grail War to prove herself, unlike Shinji Matou.
