Matou Sakura blushed immediately: "No, no... that's not it."

 Kohei Imamura also reached out directly to Shirou Emiya and firmly grabbed his shoulder:

 "Such a cute and pretty junior, and you actually lived together in high school? Shirou, I really didn't expect you to be even more of a scoundrel than Iori!"

 Kitahara Iori tilts her head:

 "What does this have to do with me? I have nothing to do with Chisa."

 "Qian Sha?"

 Kazuma Sato instinctively became alert.

 Kitahara Iori realized she had been exposed, and in an attempt to shift the conversation to Emiya Shirou, she grabbed a beer, ran over, and strangled him.

 "No matter what, you have to have a drink with me today."

 Kazuma Sato and Kohei Iori also picked up beers:

 "That's it."

 After struggling for a moment, Shirou Emiya said seriously, "Sakura and I aren't in that kind of relationship."

 Sakura Matou looked a little disappointed, her gaze fixed on the ground, and whispered:

 "I... am not qualified to be your girlfriend."

 "Nonsense! They're clearly a perfect match!"

 Kazuma Sato immediately spoke up, and everyone else echoed his sentiments.

 "Exactly, exactly. If you ask me, Shirou's dazed look means he needs you to take care of him, Sakura."

 "It's so sour!"

 "Shirou, if you're not going to be a brother, fine, but don't let him down."

 No one gave Emiya Shirou another chance to speak.

 Kitahara Iori, Imamura Kohei, and Sato Kazuma, those "old rascals," took turns making him drink.

 Emiya Shirou didn't say a word from beginning to end. He was so drunk that he slumped onto the table and fell asleep immediately.

 "Whoosh..."

 【Fujimura Taiga】and 【Cú Chulainn】are arguing, blushing, and then Taiga turns around and gently pats 【Matou Sakura】on the shoulder.

 "Sakura, please take good care of Shirou."

 After eating and drinking enough.

 With a smile on her lips, Matou Sakura excitedly got up to clean the dishes.

 "Um, let's clean up."

 Kitahara Iori lifted the unconscious Emiya Shirou and placed him on her shoulder.

 "I'll trouble you to... take him back to his room, mistress."

 "Um... okay."

 [Matou Sakura] blushed even more as Shirou Emiya leaned closer to her, and whispered.

 "look,"

 [Fujimura Taiga] looked at her and hiccuped: "Sakura is so strong, and she's really good at housework. I really like her. You guys have great taste."

 "Absolutely."

 "Of course."

 Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei continue their drinking contest with Fujimura Taiga and Cú Chulainn.

 While chatting.

 Kazuma Sato, Shido Itsuka, Hachiman Hikigaya, and the others got up to clean up the mess.

 The kitchen and living room were cleaned up quickly.

 "Um... I've temporarily vacated two guest rooms."

 [Matou Sakura] first knocked gently on the door, then pushed it open and came in:

 "I'll go and make two more rooms. Please wait a moment."

 "No need, two rooms are enough for us."

 Kazuma Sato said that Makise Kurisu, whose true gender is female, Misaka Mikoto, and [Bazette] share a room.

 The other boys can squeeze in with Masahiro Oyama.

 In short, this is much better than sleeping in a stable in another world.

 "..."

 The lively atmosphere in the mansion quickly subsided, the lights gradually went out, and darkness descended.

 In Sakura's private bedroom.

 "Aren't we going to take action against them?"

 "Medusa" asked.

 "..."

 The girl shook her head, touched her slightly flushed cheeks, and revealed a slightly happy smile.

 Goodnight, Sakura.

 【Medusa】watching this scene, she smiled with a touch of relief, but also with a sense of heartache and helplessness.

 She closed the door and transformed into a spirit to arrive on the roof.

 "Do not talk."

 The voice of "Cú Chulainn" came, and he reached out to trace runes, creating a simple barrier on the roof that had both exorcising and soundproofing properties.

 "You... you noticed it all along?"

 Medusa summoned her weapon in the mortal realm, a hint of wariness in her expression.

 "Yes, it wasn't just me; the boys noticed it a long time ago, but they were just being considerate of the redhead and didn't want to say anything."

 Cú Chulainn appears, and at the same time, a green-clad youth behind him also breaks free from his concealment.

 "It really is you, Medusa."

 The boy in green spoke, unsurprisingly:

 "Let's make a deal."

 [Kyū: "Holy crap, they actually knew about this?"]

 [Ruri Gokou: "After all, with such a large Command Seal in his hand, it's bound to be noticeable."]

 [Kong: "Could a former enemy become a friend in the next round, and a former friend become an enemy in the next round? Interesting. The strategic depth of this game is more interesting than I imagined."]

 Rin Tohsaka: "Can... we succeed?"

 [Aozaki Touko: "That girl's body has become dependent on the Crest Worms. The nerves in her body, including part of her brain, have been replaced by the Crest Worms. Even using the doll I made might not be able to save her."]

 [Kirei Kotomine: "If we want to save her, the only option is to continue living in symbiosis with the Crest Worms. Of course, there might be another way, but that method... they probably won't choose."]

 Peter Parker: "Like Eddie?"

 [Venom: "Don't compare me to these bugs, Spider-Man."]

 [Rin Tohsaka: "@Kirei Kotomine, what exactly is this method you're talking about?"]

 [Kirei Kotomine: "It had already appeared before this."]

 Gilgamesh: "Shadows, huh? Such things can indeed be used to fill the void left by devoured flesh. But they fill not only the body, but also the spirit, and this level of mental pollution is beyond what humans can withstand."

 Asclepius: "Rather than saying she is still alive, it's more accurate to say she is... a hive-like thing."

 [Asclepius: "Patients of this caliber are incurable in the current environment of great decline, unless a miracle occurs."]

 [Rin Tohsaka: "A miracle... the Holy Grail?! The Holy Grail can definitely do it, right?"]

 Gilgamesh: "The power of the shadow comes from the corrupted Holy Grail. As I have already said, this is not a good thing."

 [Kyū: "But they are [game players]. Go talk to my item if you have anything to say!"]

 [Sora: "The problem isn't the tools, but whether Kazuma and his team can obtain information. The most critical question is, can Medusa really communicate effectively?"]

 [Empty: "If they can communicate, then they can receive targeted treatment, but if they avoid it... then they probably can't be saved."]

 Weber: "Is this that Eastern idiom, 'avoiding treatment for fear of illness'?"

 Aizen: "Most people who have become accustomed to hell at most yearn for the light from heaven, but they will not take a single step out. Because their spirits have adapted to hell, they have become a part of hell."

 [Rin Tohsaka: "This is driving me crazy! @Medusa, can't you just communicate properly and say something?!"]

 [R-sister: "..."]

 [R: "Unless a mature treatment plan is provided, I will absolutely not agree."]

 [Ah Xu: "No, sis, in such a special situation, how can we provide a mature treatment plan without giving us some information?"]

 [Ruri Gokou: "Isn't this a vicious cycle... To heal, we need to gather information, but to gather information, we need to come up with a perfect treatment plan."]

 [Blackjack: "These are the most difficult patients to treat; neither the patient nor their family wants treatment, so no one can treat them."]

 Tsunade: "Indeed."

 [Gabriel: "A mission with such a bizarre requirement... is this even an achievable goal?!"]

Chapter 0095 [Day 2]

 Inside the Emiya family's guest room.

 Seven boys were lying on the ground, plus Mahiro-chan, who was huddled in a circle whispering to each other, while Shirou Emiya was in his own room.

 Looking at these "cowardly advisors" in front of him, and thinking of Kotori and the others, Itsuka Shido's slightly angry expression finally softened completely, replaced by a gentle smile.

 "Drink, drink, drink."

 "Go one!"

 The group claimed they were helping with intelligence analysis, but the conversation quickly veered off course, with them drinking the remaining beer, eating cold food, and gossiping.

 While they were drinking and chatting, negotiations had already begun on the rooftop.

 However, the most important information has already been released by Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei, who are on the same team as Sato Kazuma.

 These people seem unreliable.

 But in reality, they won't be ambiguous on important points.

 As for negotiations, just leave it to Kazuma; the most important thing between comrades is trust.

 It's definitely not because I want to be lazy.

 ……

 On the roof.

 Kazuma Sato quickly scanned the team chat and got a general idea. He looked at Medusa in front of him and asked:

 "Are you a Servant from the Matou family... or just a Servant of Matou Sakura?"

 "Is there any difference?"

 [Medusa] asked rhetorically.

 "Of course there is a difference."

 Kazuma Sato reached out, palm open, facing off without the slightest fear:

 "If it's the latter, then there's still a possibility for us to continue communicating."

 But if it's the former, then we'll have to ask you to leave.

 【Medusa】A strange smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

 "Kid, you—you're really arrogant."
