Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Although Matou Sakura is a high-level AI, Tohsaka Rin still spoke up to explain to her for some reason.

"I see!"

Upon hearing Rin Tohsaka's words, Sakura Matou nodded solemnly.

"Alright, come here!"

After explaining things to Sakura, Rin Tohsaka pulled Shirou Emiya directly to the bedside in the infirmary.

"Tohsaka, is something the matter?"

Shirou Emiya is still confused and doesn't know what Rin Tohsaka wants to do.

"I don't know how you managed to log in. Your Magic A circuit has a very high load capacity, like a steel pipe."

Upon hearing Rin Tohsaka's words, Shirou Emiya immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

When Rin Tohsaka was at the Emiya residence, she described her magic circuits to herself in the same way when she first checked them.

"Any questions?"

Shirou Emiya, just like at the beginning, asked Rin Tohsaka a question.

"There's no problem. Although your magic circuits are exceptionally good for a normal magician, you probably won't be able to fight for long given how fast you consume your Noble Phantasms."

With Shirou Emiya's current magical power, he is already capable of handling most situations. Not everyone has the magical power to unleash the true name of two Noble Phantasms, nor can everyone have a magic circuit like Shirou Emiya's, which can withstand the release of large-scale magic.

Even if Shirou Emiya forcibly absorbed magic power, it would be difficult for him to burn his own magic circuits.

This is why Shirou Emiya is often able to project weapons and fight even when his magical energy is completely depleted.

All of this was made possible by Shirou Emiya's daily, risky training of his magic circuits.

If that spiral sword were handed to Rin Tohsaka, she could certainly unleash the true name of her Noble Phantasm like Shirou Emiya, but her magic circuits would probably be unable to withstand it and burn up completely first.

"Do you have a solution?"

Upon hearing this, Shirou Emiya's eyes lit up. Judging from Rin Tohsaka's tone, she did indeed have a solution to Shirou Emiya's current problem of having relatively scarce magical energy.

Although the magical power that can unleash the true name of a Noble Phantasm twice is not exactly rare.

However, if Shirou Emiya could be like he was in Fariagni, where he wouldn't have to worry about mana depletion, his strength would increase significantly.

Emiya Shirou also doesn't need to consider which weapons to project in each battle.

"Yes, but that still can't support you unleashing a large number of Noble Phantasms—"

Seemingly sensing what Shirou Emiya was planning to do, Rin Tohsaka immediately dissuaded him from his idea.

Rin Tohsaka would also like to have the ability to unleash a large amount of magic power from her Noble Phantasms.

"This is a method of connecting magicians with magical reserves to prepare magical energy."

"We communicate through a channel to exchange magical powers."

Rin Tohsaka sat on the hospital bed and slowly explained to Shirou Emiya how to provide magical energy.

"Is that so? But how do you intend to establish a connection between us?"

Shirou Emiya understood what Rin Tohsaka was saying. Back in Fuyuki, Shirou Emiya often tutored Rin Tohsaka on magic.

Although his current level of magic is limited to projection magic, Shirou Emiya can still understand some basic magic knowledge.

"That's it, that's it, that's the one, emmmm—!"

As she spoke, Rin Tohsaka blushed involuntarily.

"I'll transfer my magic mark to you!"

"what?"

Shirou Emiya was stunned. He had thought it would be like establishing contact with the homunculus back in the Black Faction days. He was suddenly at a loss for what to do.

"But isn't a magic crest proof that a magician has lived?"

"It used to be—"

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's words, it was Rin Tohsaka's turn to be surprised.

"Because of the depletion of the Great Source, it is now almost impossible to use magic on the ground, causing the decline of magicians. The Mage's Association is now reduced to only the Atlas Institute, which was not particularly reliant on magic to begin with."

"The only place where magic can be used and the magic mark can be displayed is in this spiritual world."

Hearing Rin Tohsaka's words, Shirou Emiya didn't know how to respond.

A magic crest is a mysterious mark that a magician spends a lifetime honing and solidifying. It can also be seen as a magical legacy that makes a magician's family lineage a magician's family line.

Magic has declined in this world, and naturally, the importance of magic imprints has also diminished.

"It's alright. My goal was to stop Leo, and now that I'm eliminated, I can only place my hopes of stopping Leo on you—"

Seeing Shirou Emiya's somewhat downcast expression, Rin Tohsaka casually offered words of comfort, saying that it was already a new era, and who would care about those old traditions?

Anyway, Rin Tohsaka herself doesn't really care.

"So, how exactly do we do it?"

Emiya Shirou rested his chin on his hand in thought. Transplanting a magic crest was probably the first time he had ever heard of this term.

--------

"?"

After waiting for a while, Shirou Emiya, who had not received a reply from Rin Tohsaka, looked puzzled.

"Anyway, let's take off our clothes first!"

Rin Tohsaka looked at Shirou Emiya with a slightly flushed face.

"Eh?"

"Don't misunderstand, I will take my clothes off too!"

Wouldn't that make things more easily misunderstood?

Seeing Rin Tohsaka looking somewhat at a loss, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Taking off their clothes was simply to make it easier to ask questions; there was no deeper meaning behind it!!!"

Seeing Rin Tohsaka quickly step forward to explain, Shirou Emiya shut his mouth, intending to retort. Actually, he wanted to explain too, but he hadn't really grasped the deeper meaning himself.

"That's good. The transplantation of a magic mark requires both parties to enter a state of high resonance!"

"I see--"

Emiya Shirou nodded in understanding, then prepared to take off his clothes.

Seeing that Shirou Emiya seemed to understand her meaning, Rin Tohsaka smiled slightly.

However, just as Shirou Emiya was about to take off his shirt, he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Rin Tohsaka sitting on the hospital bed.

"Um, is it just taking off your top?"

The scene fell silent instantly.

Rin Tohsaka's face instantly turned bright red, just like a kettle boiling over.

"Of course!!!!!!!!!!"

Chapter 615 In order to change that only answer

Emiya Shirou quickly took off his shirt.

It's not something to be ashamed of, at least Shirou Emiya wouldn't act coy just because he took off his shirt.

What's wrong with your body?

Seeing Shirou Emiya, who had already taken off his shirt, Rin Tohsaka's pupils suddenly contracted.

It wasn't that Shirou Emiya's seemingly frail body possessed such substantial muscles; when he was able to confront Cú Chulainn head-on, Rin Tohsaka naturally understood that Shirou Emiya's physical abilities were far beyond those of ordinary people.

It's not that Shirou Emiya's body is covered in all sorts of scars; rather, there are no signs of injury on Shirou Emiya's body. Under the healing power of some force, those injuries are gradually healing.

At least on the surface, no injuries were visible.

only------

On his body, which was full of explosive muscles, golden stripes were intricately arranged like porcelain that had been smashed to the ground and cracked.

Like the fiery patterns left after a volcanic eruption, they were densely distributed all over Shirou Emiya's body, even covering his arms.

The clothes Shirou Emiya was wearing earlier had completely concealed the patterns on his body. If Rin Tohsaka hadn't made Shirou take off his clothes, she would never have imagined that such a damaged body was hidden under those clothes.

Shirou Emiya then realized that his body, or rather his soul, was already utterly broken.

The long battles had made him forget even what his current situation was like.

Emiya Shirou had long since grown accustomed to the excruciating pain that tormented his body constantly.

He wasn't unaware of his own physical condition, but compared to those who needed saving, Shirou Emiya chose to ignore his own.

It wasn't until Rin Tohsaka asked him that Shirou Emiya remembered this matter.

"Perhaps this is just the price I have to pay—"

Faced with Rin Tohsaka's questioning, Shirou Emiya could only respond with a forced laugh.

"Do you even realize how serious your situation is right now?!"

Rin Tohsaka gently placed her hand on Shirou Emiya's chest, her eyes revealing unconcealed worry.

Emiya Shirou's current situation is even worse than she imagined.

She could sense that Shirou Emiya's body was already on the verge of collapse; if it weren't for that unknown force, Shirou Emiya's body would have already collapsed.

In fact, the vast majority of that power was used to maintain Shirou Emiya's stability.

What exactly did you go through?

Rin Tohsaka's eyes trembled slightly as she looked into Shirou Emiya's eyes and couldn't help but ask a question.

But all he received was Shirou Emiya's silence.

"Never mind, everyone has their own secrets —"
