Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

It's time for club activities now. Basically, except for a few classes, the classrooms are empty at this time, even the students on duty have finished cleaning.

"This is the multimedia classroom. If you need to watch a film, you will come to this classroom."

"This is the laboratory, and it has a lot of instruments. Teachers come to this classroom when they need to demonstrate some chemical experiments."

"This is the specimen room, which contains many animal and plant specimens. It is usually open most of the time to enhance students' interest in biological exploration."

"This is the reading room, or you could say the library. People usually borrow books or look up information here."

Emiya Shirou tirelessly led Fujimura Taiga to familiarize herself with all the locations within the teaching building.

Unless she has any questions, Shirou Emiya will not stop to explain; otherwise, he will pause briefly before leading her to the next location.

The efficiency was so high that Fujimura Taiga had almost no reason to stick close to Emiya Shirou.

All I could do was follow the tour guide's steps and explanations, just like tourists visiting the site for the first time.

However, the difference is that this is a school, not a tourist attraction, and there's not much to see here.

Emiya Shirou only needs to give Fujimura Taiga a general impression of the various locations at the school; there's no need for him to provide a detailed explanation of each location's features and historical origins like a tour guide.

That's what he's doing now.

"This is the school's warehouse, and also where some incompetent teacher lived."

Arriving at a corner on the first floor, Shirou Emiya sighed as he introduced Fujimura Taiga, glancing at the tightly closed door.

"An incompetent teacher?"

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Ignoring Fujimura Taiga's doubts, Emiya Shirou went straight to the door and knocked heavily on it.

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Bang!"

At that very moment, it was as if someone was frantically running around inside, and an incredibly shocking collision occurred within.

One after another, heavy objects crashed to the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"Is there some kind of monster inside?"

"No, there's only a lazy bum inside who does absolutely nothing—!"

"Aaaaaah!!!! I heard it! I heard it! Emiya-kun, you're talking bad about me at the door again!!!!"

A slightly chubby, yet girlish voice came from inside the door.

"Squeak—!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure darted out with lightning speed, like a slightly heavy ball of flesh rushing towards Shirou Emiya.

Then——

As if he had known this would happen, he turned to the side the instant the door was opened.

"boom--!"

The sound of flesh colliding with the wall made Fujimura Taiga, who was standing to the side, take two steps back.

"Teacher Gina, I remember I just tidied up the warehouse last week!"

Shirou Emiya did not turn to look at the figure rushing towards him, but instead looked into the warehouse with an extremely puzzled expression.

He then sighed and slowly spoke with a tone of utter bewilderment.

At this moment, [Fujimura Taiga], who was standing to the side, also saw the environment inside the warehouse.

That's terrible.

The ground was littered with all sorts of garbage, dirty mud crawled on the ground, and various odds and ends were scattered in different places.

The blanket in front of the computer was twisted and curled up in the corner like an indescribable lump, with piles of clothes and socks lying around it.

The whole room had a suffocating smell.

Fortunately, it only looked extremely dirty and messy; in reality, it didn't have a suffocating smell and even had a girlish fragrance.

In a way, this girl's fragrance can be considered a strange scent.

Why is this getting more and more bizarre?

At this moment, the owner of this warehouse was sitting up with difficulty next to the wall behind Shirou Emiya, rubbing his head in pain.

Chapter 674 Isn't it normal for a school to have a church?

"This is the warehouse, although in some ways it's already considered private property—!"

Seeing Gina bump into the wall and rub her forehead, Shirou Emiya let out a helpless sigh.

"Is she Ms. Gina?" [Fujimura Taiga] asked with interest, also eager to meet the teacher who was supposed to guide her around the school.

"Who...who is she?!"

Clearly, Gina hadn't expected that Shirou Emiya would bring a stranger this time, especially one whose beauty couldn't be hidden even when dressed as a nun.

For a moment, Gina seemed flustered and unsure of what expression to wear.

"Take a look at the message the school sent you on your phone."

"Huh, information?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

As she spoke, Gina hurriedly pulled out the terminal from her pocket and skillfully operated it.

"Teacher Fujimura?"

"Yes, it's me—"

Seeing Gina's slightly puzzled expression after reading the message, [Fujimura Taiga] responded with extreme elegance and politeness, a stark contrast to the flustered Gina.

"sorry Sorry!"

Gina didn't try to refuse at all; with an apologetic look on her face, she kept bowing to [Fujimura Taiga].

"No, it's okay, it's okay. It's the same as having Emiya-kun lead me now."

With tolerance and generosity, [Fujimura Taiga] looked at Gina with an extremely kind smile, showing no sign of blame even after waiting for a whole day.

"So, is Ms. Gina ready to fulfill her duties?"

Shirou Emiya looked extremely serious, at least in Gina's eyes.

He didn't come to blame anyone; he just said that he happened to be introduced to the warehouse and wanted to find the culprit while he was there.

Although Shirou Emiya wasn't that bothered by it, it was Gina's own responsibility and what she should do. Now that he had found the person in charge, he planned to leave.

"Eh—! But, but, Emiya, I'm not familiar with the school either!!!"

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's words, Gina was taken aback at first, then looked at him with teary eyes, a sight that evoked pity in everyone.

"Teacher, it seems you've been at the school for over a year now—" Seeing that Gina didn't seem to be lying at all, Shirou Emiya covered his forehead in great distress.

Because what she said seemed to be true. In her memory, ever since she met Teacher Gina, she had never left the warehouse. In fact, she said that the warehouse had become Teacher Gina's private bedroom.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Ms. Gina has not been to most places in the school except for the warehouse.

"Does Emiya-kun hate me? Is he already planning to leave so soon?"

At this moment, Fujimura Taiga, who was standing to the side, seemed to have heard that Emiya Shirou was planning to leave her like this. With a slightly hoarse voice, she also looked at him with teary eyes.

"No! I—, never mind!"

Emiya Shirou wanted to say something, to explain something, but then gave up.

He didn't want others to worry about him, especially since he and [Fujimura Taiga] had only known each other for a short time.

"I'll continue to show you around the rest of the school, Mr. Fujimura."

Having learned about Gina's current situation, Shirou Emiya decided not to pursue the matter any further and responded to Taiga Fujimura before turning to leave.

"Ok!"

【Fujimura Taiga】 smiled gently and silently followed behind Emiya Shirou.

"Wait! Emiya, are you coming over to tidy up the warehouse after you've brought Fujimura-sensei?"

"No, I have other things to do later, so let's do it another time!"

Watching Shirou Emiya wave goodbye, Gina pouted and her cheeks puffed up, then deflated like a punctured balloon.

"Never mind, never mind, maybe next time!"

Gina waved her hand, closed the warehouse door, jumped onto her bed on the floor, and turned on her computer.

"Let's play games first!"

"Emiya-kun is really kind-hearted, isn't he?" On the other side, in the corridor, [Fujimura Taiga] opened her bright eyes and spoke to Emiya Shirou with a gentle voice.

"What's wrong?" Emiya Shirou looked at Fujimura Taiga with a puzzled expression as he suddenly praised him like this.

Although she had praised herself like this before when she was in the student council.

"The warehouse is so messy with Gina-sensei, it must be a lot of trouble to tidy it up."

"Fujimura-sensei, you've misunderstood."

"What's the misunderstanding?"

"Actually, in a way, that place can also be considered a place where I worked."

"what?"

“Every time I organize something, Ms. Gina has to pay me for my work.”

Emiya Shirou responded with a wry smile to Fujimura Taiga.

Although he was known as a nice guy at school, and people would come to him with almost any problem, he was also said to help others without expecting anything in return.

However, Shirou Emiya also has his own principles when it comes to extending a helping hand to others.

Otherwise, tasks that are originally within someone else's responsibilities and that they are capable of completing will all end up piling up on Shirou Emiya's shoulders.

Shirou Emiya neither thinks of the world as bad nor as good.
