I am the protagonist

Chapter Seventy: Kid, you have to make clothes with me!

"Kid, is this really your first time making magic props?"

From our discussion about the concepts of magic props, Medea discovered that this kid had a wealth of professional knowledge, including many things that only she knew.

This is the second time.

"The first time was yesterday when I made some gems and gave them to Rin and the others."

"The second time... just having one experience was enough to gain so much understanding of how to make magic props."

At this moment, Medea's interest in this little devil grew stronger and stronger.

It's incredible that I had this understanding on my second attempt at making magic props.

"Oh, kid, your figurine-making skills are pretty good."

Saber's image gradually appeared on the template.

Medea frequently creates these kinds of figurines, so it's clear that the quality is already quite high.

Although the technique is still a bit raw, it's already quite skilled for someone making this kind of thing for the second time.

"Hmm, it's still a little short of capturing Saber's adorable charm."

"...Caster, just how much do you like Saber?"

Shirou knew that he had done a slightly subpar job.

But this little bit of meaning is really very small, yet Caster was able to see it.

"Of course I like it very much."

"Little Saber is both strong and cute."

"How could anyone not love such a cute Saber?"

Shirou could hear Caster's almost obsessive love between the lines.

【Saber, I know why you hate Caster so much now.】

[It must be really frustrating to have someone so obsessed with you.]

[…Saber will make something delicious today to comfort your soul.]

At this moment, Shirou also felt sympathy for Saber.

Being loved by someone like Caster, who is filled with obsessive love, is definitely not a good thing.

Shirou had heard in the past that some fans would do some crazy things for their idols, and who knows if Caster had done the same thing.

Regardless, Shirou decided that he would still treat Saber to something good tonight.

"Caster, since you're so good at magic, why don't you use magic to do it?"

"This kind of toy would probably be much simpler to make using magic."

"You...you really are a person without love."

"Every Saber cutie needs to do it themselves to make it more meaningful."

"Anyway, my little Saber will never be born through the hands of others, and she absolutely cannot be created using magic. That's my belief."

Medea naturally knew that magic could create Saber's figurine.

However, these figurines created using magic are completely meaningless.

Only things made by hand truly embody love.

That was merely a manifestation of lust for Saber's body, created using magic.

The kind of love that only values ​​appearance and ignores inner qualities is not what Medea wants at all.

This must be the one.

[The thoughts of a fan who is crazy about their idol.]

Shirou just felt that Saber would definitely be in a lot of pain.

Especially knowing how deep Caster's love for her was.

"Kid, your carving skills need some improvement."

"Many things in magic props require the magician to operate them by hand. If the quality of the props cannot be improved, it is impossible to make powerful magic props."

"I've actually noticed this problem myself."

Shirou had already noticed this when he made his first magic prop.

Magic props are not so easy to make.

The quality of the materials used to make magic props also affects the overall quality of the magic props.

Shirou had already experienced the bitterness of poor material quality during his previous experience.

"I already realized that when I made gifts for Rin and the others last time."

"Just because the material quality was slightly inferior, one of the most important additional capabilities was missing."

"This situation is unavoidable."

"Preparing materials is also a required course for magicians, and how to prepare excellent materials is a headache for magicians."

"However, in order to create better magic props, every magician will prepare the necessary materials themselves."

For magic props, the quality of the materials is the most crucial factor.

The quality of the materials is crucial to the success of creating magic props.

Whether more auxiliary capabilities can be attached, the quality of the materials is also a key factor.

Medea herself, as a magician in the mythological era, understood this principle very well.

In other words, Medea understands this principle very well, and she usually prepares the materials herself when making magic props.

【Huh? 】

【its not right! 】

[I should have some kind of grudge against Shirou Emiya, so why am I discussing academic matters with him in the room?]

"Caster, it seems I'll be coming over to bother you quite often from now on."

"...Fine, I'll just set up a barrier around my room from now on."

Although Medea still felt a bit awkward, she thought the kid's magic theory wasn't bad, and she could eventually figure out who was behind him.

Besides, even if she tried to stop it now, would it still make a difference?

Medea believed that even if she disagreed, the brat would still come over for a visit.

She will still hear the noise of weapons clashing outside.

"However, in return, you also need to give me some help."

"...I'll help you?"

“Caster, I think you’re much better at making these toys than I am.”

Shirou looked at the Saber-type toy he had made; his work was far inferior to Caster's.

Even if Shirou has the idea of ​​improving his skills, it's impossible to improve them much in a short period of time.

"And didn't you yourself say that this toy is meaningless if you didn't make it yourself?"

"...I didn't ask you to help me with this."

"I will make the Saber figurine myself. All you have to do is give the finished product to Saber and let her wear it."

Medea's first thought was to ask this brat for help.

Of course, the only reason for helping was to let the adorable Saber wear the clothes she made.

Medea had always wanted to give Saber a gift, but she never actually did it.

Medea knew that Saber would most likely reject what she made.

It could even be said that it is handled directly.

"...To avoid some trouble, kid, you'll have to help me with this from now on."

"Should I do it too?"

“If it were just clothes I made, Saber definitely wouldn’t want to wear them.”

“But if the clothes were made with you, Saber would be much less likely to refuse.”

Chapter 71 Saber's Bad Premonition

Four p.m.

The girls from the Emiya family all sat together.

"Saber, what's the matter this time?"

Rin actually wanted to tell Saber that she didn't have that much free time, and that there was no need to go into detail about unimportant things.

"Rin, Shirou hasn't come home yet."

"……so what?"

"Caster is keeping a close eye on Shirou right now."

"I don't know why, but I have a very bad feeling."

From the moment she started, Saber had been feeling a chill constantly stimulating her nerves.

Rin sighed helplessly.

“Saber, you should remember that Shirou also came back very late yesterday.”

"Shirou is definitely fighting with Assassin right now, so he's definitely not going home this early."

"If we consider the time Shirou got home yesterday, it will take at least another hour."

Yesterday, Shirou's fight with Assassin was no longer a secret in the Emiya household.

Although Rin strongly opposes Shirou seeking out Heroic Spirits as his rivals, can Shirou's current personality really stop him?

Moreover, Shirou also possesses considerable strength.

Caster and Assassin also won't make some bad decisions.

With the conditions laid out, Rin naturally wouldn't continue to oppose Shirou's decision.

Of them, Shirou is the one who most needs to improve his strength right now, and Rin strongly supports Shirou's decision.

And she's not the only one who thinks this way.

“Saber, didn’t you also agree yesterday that Shirou should increase his strength?”

"Didn't you also approve of sending him to fight Assassin?"

"Yes."

"I did agree with Shirou's decision yesterday, but just now I had a really bad feeling."

As a Heroic Spirit, Saber has a certain awareness of the crisis she faces.

The inexplicable chill she felt just now was definitely a sign that Shirou was in great danger.

“Saber, you’re definitely overthinking things this time.”

Rin doesn't think Saber's feeling this time is correct.

Caster isn't an idiot; he wouldn't do something so stupid.

"Moreover, Shirou's strength is not bad."

“Saber, you shouldn’t have forgotten that Shirou beat Archer to a pulp back then.”

"Do you think Shirou is helpless against Caster and Assassin right now?"

Even if the opponent is two Heroic Spirits, is Shirou a normal, reasonable magician?

If Shirou were a normal magician, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Archer.

Rin has a high opinion of Shirou's strength.
