No one knows what kept her alive until now, nor does anyone know what kept her going.
"Shirou! I've come to see you." As soon as Fujimura Taiga got off work, she rushed back to the Emiya residence to check on the injured Shirou. "How are you? How's your shoulder injury?"
She opened the sliding door and saw a purple-haired girl named Matou Sakura wearing a Shirou Emiya T-shirt, wiping her rain-soaked hair with a towel.
Emiya Shirou awkwardly turned his head to look at Fujimura Taiga, whose expression had turned angry. Oh no!
A scene radiating divine light flashed through Fujimura Taiga's mind: she tugged at Emiya Shirou's sleeve, gazing at him kindly, "..."
"No, no. It's not what you think!!" Shirou Emiya realized that Taiga might have misunderstood him!
This is not a scene from the story of the young prince.
Fujimura Taiga looked at Emiya Shirou suspiciously, recalling the magazine Shirou hid under the floorboards, but she didn't think too much about it, after all, Shirou wasn't that kind of boy.
"So, I've been living alone all this time. Besides, how could I trouble my friend's sister to help me?"
Emiya Shirou declined Matou Sakura's offer. He was a boy living alone, and having his friend's sister come over to help him with chores every day was something he couldn't accept.
Fujimura Taiga, sitting to the side, nodded in complete agreement.
Sakura Matou shook her head, determined to stay and help.
"As Shirou's guardian, I also disagree with doing that!" Fujimura Taiga patted his chest confidently, "I'll come and help with all the housework here! You don't need to worry!"
"..." Emiya Shirou looked at Fujimura Taiga speechlessly. Taiga-nee, all you do is come over for a free meal every day, 365 days a year without any change.
This wasn't the first time he'd been injured; he still had to rely entirely on himself for cooking and other chores.
He has mastered the amazing skill of cooking with his left hand all by himself, all thanks to Sister Dahe!
Sakura Matou continued to shake her head, her attitude resolute. If she went back like this, she knew her brother would definitely verbally abuse and beat her...
The next day, Matou Sakura continued to visit Emiya Shirou's house.
Even though Shirou Emiya refused, Sakura Matou continued to visit him on the third, fourth, and fifth days with unwavering determination.
"We just happened to come by the same time. Hahahaha..." Fujimura Taiga, who had just arrived at Shirou Emiya's house, intending to freeload a meal and check on Shirou's health, laughed awkwardly.
How enviable! To have such a lovely girl bothering him every day is a pity that Shirou Emiya is oblivious to romance! He doesn't like to bother others.
This time, Shirou Emiya did not refuse Sakura Matou. He took her into his house and showed her where the kitchen utensils were in the kitchen, while also teaching her how to cook. "The tableware is in the cupboard upstairs, and the rice storage box and kitchen knife are downstairs, etc."
Fujimura Taiga lay on the table, a fish-shaped biscuit dangling from her mouth, watching TV. She showed no intention of helping at all; she was only responsible for eating, not for doing anything.
What a thoughtful sister Dahe!
When Matou Sakura first arrived at Shirou Emiya's house to do housework, she was a little clumsy at first, but under Shirou Emiya's guidance, she quickly improved and her housekeeping skills continued to improve. Shirou Emiya, who was initially worried, gradually felt at ease, as the girl in front of him was much more capable than he had imagined.
Despite being the wealthy heiress of the Matou family, she is remarkably receptive to housework and cooking, and learns very quickly.
“First, start from the back of the garment and fold it flat at the shoulder,” Shirou Emiya said, sitting on the tatami mat and demonstrating to Sakura Matou how to properly fold the clothes with one hand. “Then fold the sleeves along the fold line, and that’s it. Do the same on the other side. Make sure to keep it flat while folding.”
Soon, she noticed a stark difference between the clothes she and Shirou Emiya had folded on the tatami mat. The clothes she had folded with both hands were messy, while the clothes Shirou had folded with one hand were neat and tidy.
Sakura Matou looked at the clothes she had folded with disappointment in her eyes. How could she not even know how to do something so simple? She was even worse than Shirou Emiya, who had an injured hand, even though he had been teaching her very carefully.
Seeing that Matou Sakura's expression was a little off, looking at the girl's dull eyes, and at her aloof yet endearing back, Shirou Emiya quickly said, "It's alright, it's already quite good for your first time folding it like this. It's fine."
"I'll fold it again!" Sakura Matou stubbornly and persistently unfolded the clothes and folded them again according to the method taught by Shirou Emiya.
"Let's start from the beginning." Emiya Shirou patiently explained to Matou Sakura all sorts of household chores.
Days passed by one after another, and Matou Sakura, who never did housework, gradually became a housework expert.
Emiya Shirou and Fujimura Taiga have also accepted this seemingly pitiful girl, Matou Sakura.
“That’s right… I remember now. A year and a half ago, I lost to a girl who was younger than me but incredibly stubborn.”
Emiya Shirou found the spare key to his house in the warehouse and prepared to give it to Matou Sakura. He had gotten used to doing housework, cooking, and eating together with Matou Sakura every day after school.
His originally lonely life was changed by the appearance of Matou Sakura.
“Then autumn came in the blink of an eye. By then, my shoulder had completely healed. But Sakura still came to help.” Shirou Emiya turned to look at Sakura Matou. Was it Sakura’s idea to do this, or did he hope that Sakura would continue to come?
"Perhaps none of that matters anymore. If there's anything that's changed for me, it's that I've left the club. I also want to use my time to work and earn more money. I originally joined the club just to exercise, so how should I put it? It's pretty good as it is now."
As Shinji Matou watched Shirou Emiya leave the archery club, his eyes gradually turned cold.
Shinji Matou, the most beastly and inhuman creature in Fuyuki City, is steadily progressing down the path of becoming a beast and a scumbag.
Even Beryl Gat was far superior to Ryunosuke Uryuu, and Shirou Emiya had no idea what Sakura Matou, who had appeared in his house, had gone through.
"There's another change. But this change might be a little insignificant."
Now, every time Shirou Emiya returns home, he sees the lights on, smiles, and opens the door, saying, "I'm home."
"Ah... Welcome home, senpai!" Hearing her senpai's voice, Matou Sakura smiled happily and ran quickly to the door, holding a dish towel in her hand, smiling like a wife welcoming her husband home.
"The change is that I almost never use my own key to open the door anymore." Shirou Emiya likes it very much. Now that his home is different, he guesses he can no longer get used to life without Sakura.
He really enjoys his daily life at home with Sakura now; he's completely used to it and is completely immersed in it.
What makes him happy is that Sakura, who used to rarely smile, now has a smile on her face all the time, which makes him very happy.
....................
....................
She was reincarnated into a world where only otome games have doom flags.
"Hehehehe... Sakura"
She was so cute as a child!! But, but when she first appeared at Shirou Emiya's house, her expression and eyes were exactly the same as Geese's when she first came to my house...! Why is that...?
Katarina Claires pondered with doubt, noting the stark contrast between this and the lively and adorable Matou Sakura who had become after living at Shirou Emiya's house for more than half a year.
"Oh, I know! It must be because Sakura's original home didn't have any good sweets or novels, right? Or maybe she had a lot of studying to do, and at Shirou Emiya's house she could get tutoring from him?"
She pondered painfully, but even with her brain overloaded, she couldn't come up with the right answer.
"...No, no, only my sister would feel pain because of these things...;#!!"
As Geese Clares stared at Matou Sakura, he seemed to see himself being bullied by his half-brothers since childhood. This look must have come from the despair of being bullied and suffering from domestic violence, and the despair of the future and the world around him.
Giuseppe Claes clenched his fists and said in an icy tone, "It must be Matou Shinji. That beast bullied Sakura. This heartless, depraved beast hasn't changed at all, even in different worlds."
"So, his decision to have Sakura come to Emiya Shirou's house to help out probably wasn't out of any friendly intentions. It might not even be Shinji Matou's subjective idea."
Having also experienced domestic violence and been bullied by her sisters, Mary Hunter immediately recognized that Matou Sakura must have been bullied again!
Moreover, this was definitely not ordinary domestic violence; the Matou family was truly a place where a bunch of animals lived.
She thought about going over there and strangling the Matou family to save Matou Sakura, but she decided to go live with her older sister, Tohsaka Rin!
Mary Hunter and Geese Clares are magicians with exceptional magical talent, easily killing the old bug. They are considered to be at the level of god-level magicians in this world, possessing extraordinary power.
"Whoa...! No way, is Shinji Matou from another world this evil too???" Katarina Clares, trusting Geese and Melly's judgment, glared angrily at Shinji Matou. No wonder she felt nauseous and disgusted whenever she saw Shinji Matou's face!
Even caterpillars, or those worms that like to steal vegetables from your own garden, are more pleasing to the eye than Shinji Matou.
"Thank goodness... thank goodness Matou Sakura met Emiya Shirou, met Taiga-sensei. It's so wonderful... that she met someone who would save her from her unfortunate and painful life." Maria Campbell's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Matou Sakura with heartache, but she was also happy that Matou Sakura had met Emiya Shirou.
"The Shirou Emiya in this world is completely different from the Shirou Emiya before. He is very gentle, a kind and considerate boy. That's why Sakura is opening her heart to Shirou Emiya now."
2. Good times fly by.
In Matou Sakura's life now, Emiya Shirou is like Katharina, an angel who brings her the future and hope.
"I hope that Matou Sakura can continue to live in Emiya Shirou's house and never go back to that painful and disgusting Matou family!"
Giordo Styatt and Alan Styatt watched this scene with disdain.
Despite being princes, the two brothers utterly despise bullying girls. At such a young age, they bullied their own sister; Shinji Matou is truly a piece of trash.
Deep Sea Cyber Paradise, Second Playthrough Timeline.
"Ah... Shirou Emiya was so cute when he was young in this world. He's completely different from the sharp-tongued Shirou Emiya in Chaldea. Shirou Emiya is about the same age as Master now, right?"
Tamamo Neko smiled as she looked at the young Emiya Shirou, and asked in confusion, "How did the honest, cute, and kind Emiya Shirou of yesteryear grow up to become the sharp-tongued Shirou?"
She leaned closer to Shirou Emiya and suspiciously rubbed his eight-pack abs. "Are you really the same person? Or are you twins???"
Veins bulged on Shirou Emiya's forehead as he barely suppressed the urge to shoot Tamamo-no-Mae on the head. "I know this guy. Don't ask me! I have no memories of the past."
"Hehehehe! I have to witness the whole thing, including my evil nemesis's younger self!! I'm really curious to see how Shirou Emiya, Taiga Fujimura, and Sakura Matou will react when they see me turned into a dark version of myself, a sharp-tongued mother."
Ishtar, with her long, fair legs wrapped around her, lay on the Sky Boat Maana, watching the scene unfold.
"No wonder Emiya's mother is such a good cook... She's lived in such a big house all by herself at such a young age. She doesn't order takeout and cooks for herself every day. It would be strange if her cooking skills didn't improve after all these years!! But, living in such a big mansion in Japan, why does Emiya Shirou still have to go out to work?"
Elizabeth looked at Emiya Shirou with curiosity, who was very dedicated to his part-time job. Such a big mansion, the people living here must be very rich.
Heaven's Feel, Part 1.
"Hehehehe... It feels so good to see Sakura gradually becoming cuter and more lively.
In the bathroom, Fujimura Taiga was holding Matou Sakura in his arms, and they were washing each other's backs.
Her hands
He embraced Sakura Matou's slender, petite body and teased, "Sakura, you don't need to go back to the Matou family. It's alright, whether it's a legal issue or something else, I've taken care of it!"
Ever since she learned that Sakura was being subjected to domestic violence and abuse at the Matou family's house, she has never allowed Sakura to return to the Matou family.
The Fujimura Taiga family is a powerful yakuza family in Fuyuki City. Even the Matou family, who are magicians, dare not offend them, because offending Fujimura Taiga's power of destiny would only hasten their own demise.
Medea probably died so tragically because capturing Fujimura Taiga further reduced her already low luck stat.
"Um... I understand, thank you Taiga-nee..." Matou Sakura hugged Fujimura Taiga with emotion. She didn't want to go back to the Matou family at all. It was so wonderful to be able to get away from there, not have to go back, and be able to live with the person she loved.
Stheno, Euryale, and young Medusa appeared at Shirou Emiya's doorstep. "Hey... stay here for a while. I'd like to try some of Shirou Emiya's cooking too."
"Hehe! Alright, alright, let me taste how delicious a human's cooking can be," Steno said with a smile.
Young Medusa nodded cutely, following her sister wherever she went.
Type-Moon Zero timeline.
Aoi Tohsaka gritted her teeth, glaring angrily at Sakura, who stood in front of Shirou Emiya's house in the pouring rain, wearing that expression.
She has only one thought right now, which is what all normal parents would want to do.
It means eliminating the entire Matou family, tearing them to pieces, and crushing them.
Hatred surged across Rin Tohsaka's young face—hatred for Shinji Matou, hatred for the Matou family—for bullying her own sister like this!?
Unless you're an idiot, anyone can see that Matou Sakura, who lives in a wealthy family, has lifeless eyes and is listless all day long. She must have been abused, bullied, and suffered some kind of painful torment.
The Great Labyrinth, Parvati, and the Kama Timeline.
Kama finally understood why the human girl he relied on, Matou Sakura, had such a dark side.
She could almost see Matou Sakura's unfortunate life unfold before her.
"Hehehe! It's alright. Since I've taken over your body, I'll help you get revenge. Those who have hurt or bullied you will pay the price."
....................
....................
The Emiya family.
Christmas.
Emiya Shirou sat with Matou Sakura, studying together while waiting at home for the takeout delivered by Fujimura Taiga.
"Merry Christmas!" Fujimura Taiga, dressed as Santa Claus and carrying two large bags of takeout, hopped in with a smile and spun around before placing the takeout on the table.
Italian meatballs, pizza, baked vegetables with cheese, roast beef and fries, ham and lettuce salad, Japanese fried chicken, and non-alcoholic red wine are placed on the table.
Holding a glass of champagne, Fujimura Taiga shared stories about Emiya Shirou's past with Sakura, saying, "Well, Shirou has always been trying to emulate Kiritsugu. He said he wanted to become a champion of justice and things like that."
She spoke nostalgically, looking at the delicious food on the table and the grown-up Shirou Emiya, lamenting that Kiritsugu was no longer there.
Otherwise, Sakura could be introduced to Shirou Emiya's real parents.
Inside the kitchen, Shirou Emiya, who was washing dishes, turned around shyly and said, "What nonsense are you spouting! You drunkard..."
“Kiritsugu-san, you’re my father, right?” Matou Sakura asked.
"Hmm... For Shirou, Kiritsugu is his hero. So Shirou wants to be like him. Sakura also has a role model she wants to emulate, right?"
Fujimura Taiga smiled and said, "I wonder who Sakura's role model is? Could it be me?"
Sakura Matou was silent for a moment, her right hand clutching the hairband that her older sister, Rin Tohsaka, had given her. "My... my hero."
She pondered the question seriously, while Shirou Emiya sat beside her, munching on a roasted chicken leg—Sakura's hero...
