He could only feel at ease if Sakura stayed here; he didn't want what happened to Ayako to happen to Sakura.
"No... well, I'll be staying here!" Matou Sakura smiled at Emiya Shirou, holding a soup spoon in her hand.
The next day at school.
"Yo, Emiya!" Shinji Matou sat in a chair, a disgusting smile on his face as he looked at Shirou Emiya and said smugly, "Have you heard about Ayako Mitsuri?"
"I heard about it at the temple this morning. Apparently, she was found in Xindu. And in a small alley. When she was found, she was in a daze, and her clothes were tattered. I don't know what happened. But how was that woman, who usually has such an arrogant face, abandoned? As her friend, I'm very interested."
The students around him looked at Shinji Matou with disdain. His arrogant and smug appearance was truly disgusting.
In the real world, it's impossible for anyone to have contact with Shinji Matou.
The students in the classroom stared at Shinji Matou with the kind of look one would give a scumbag. Their gloating over someone else's misfortune was utterly disgusting.
"Shinji!" Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth and took a step forward angrily, glaring at Matou Shinji.
"That's scary." Shinji Matou laughed mockingly. "Just kidding. It's just a rumor. It's been circulating among the first-year students since yesterday."
Seeing Shirou Emiya's angry expression, he decisively backed down, realizing he couldn't beat Shirou Emiya.
Emiya Shirou suspects that the murderer is Matou Shinji; he has a gut feeling, but he has no evidence.
After school, Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka continued searching for evil magic circles on campus, determined to eliminate them all.
Let's see if we can catch the demon behind it.
The sorcerer's subtle clues.
Rin Tohsaka was surprised by Shirou Emiya's intuition, or rather, his sense of anything superfluous about objects.
Even she failed to notice that a magic circle had been set up inside the bookshelf.
"Most of these incantations that were in operation have probably disappeared." Rin Tohsaka erased the last incantation.
"Then the barrier won't work?" Shirou Emiya asked.
"The barrier was already set up. Now it's just been weakened [from turning students into tomato juice to making them only weak and losing some of their essence]. The fact that the company has such a barrier means that this guy won't give up easily if he's obstructed. Based on my judgment, the other side will show a weakness tomorrow."
Rin Tohsaka stood up confidently and looked at Shirou Emiya.
She was going to punch the head off that third-rate magician who was causing trouble at school.
“I see…” Emiya Shirou nodded. Since it was Tohsaka who said it, it must be right.
"Well, I'll head home now! I need to buy a lot of things for tomorrow's battle. Emiya-kun, you should head home early too," Rin Tohsaka said, looking at Shirou Emiya in the classroom.
She has Archer protecting her, but Shirou Emiya doesn't. She plans to return home first and then have Archer protect Shirou Emiya.
Asking her to go home with Shirou Emiya is something she would never do, even if you killed her!
Emiya Shirou looked calmly at Tohsaka Rin and said, "Yes, are you worried about me, Tohsaka?"
"N-no, that's not it!!" Rin Tohsaka explained hastily, her fair face turning slightly red. "We're allies! If you leave the group without permission, you'll disrupt my plans."
"I just wanted to confirm the precautions with you again! Hmph!" Rin Tohsaka quickly explained her meaning, not wanting Shirou Emiya to misunderstand anything.
Walking down the classroom corridor, Shirou Emiya felt heavy-hearted. Who was it? What bastard dragged these complete strangers into this mess?
"Destroying the inscription, you've been doing this boring stuff the whole time." Shinji Matou leaned confidently against the wall, arms crossed, looking at Shirou Emiya, already convinced that Shirou was also a Master. "Going home at this hour?"
He wore an incredibly confident smile as he looked at Shirou Emiya. With Rider around, and knowing Shirou Emiya's foolishly kind nature all too well, he was absolutely certain he could pull Shirou Emiya into his camp.
He turns Emiya into a tool, intending to discard or kill him once he has achieved victory.
"What did you say?" Emiya Shirou stared at Matou Shinji, quite surprised. Shinji knew about the curse mark, and considering what had happened before, it was indeed Matou Shinji who was behind it.
"The barriers you meticulously dealt with were actually safety measures I set up," Shinji Matou admitted, acknowledging that he had done it all himself.
"Shinji, it really was you." Shirou Emiya was furious, but didn't know what to do.
"Don't be so aggressive, Emiya. Me too, I'm forced to become a Master even though I have no magic power." Shinji Matou laughed heartlessly, completely unconcerned about Shirou Emiya's angry expression.
What's with that barrier?
"I already said, it's just insurance."
"Were you the one who attacked the female student yesterday?" Shirou Emiya asked Shinji Matou, suppressing his anger.
"That was something my servant did without permission, and I was quite helpless about it. [The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.]"
Unfortunately, the foolish but philanthropic Emiya Shirou would believe it, after all, they were once friends.
Therefore, Shirou Emiya died countless times in other timelines because he was too kind-hearted.
Shirou Emiya refused the invitation extended by Shinji Matou without hesitation.
Shinji Matou threatened Shirou Emiya again, saying that if he didn't become his ally, he would have to send his sister home. He couldn't let his sister stay in the enemy's house.
However, Shirou Emiya rejected the suggestion without hesitation.
Emiya Shirou simply couldn't believe that a magician who would hit his own sister and create such a barrier was now Matou Shinji.
Only a stupid idiot would send Sakura back to the Matou family.

The Kyushu Lostbelt: Chen Gong and Red Hare Timeline.
"...How stupid! How could Shirou Emiya be so stupid?" Mordred was stunned. The Shirou Emiya in this world was incredibly stupid, so stupid that she was dumbfounded.
"Rin Tohsaka has taken you to the Holy Church and told you how to give up your Master status. You also know that Shinji Matou comes from a family of mages. Do you think Shinji Matou wouldn't know the rules of the Holy Grail War?"
"Anyone with a modicum of sense could tell from what he said that he was lying, right?" Mordred was exasperated, watching her father transform into the ultimate idiot's servant...
"You, someone who isn't even a magician, know that using a Command Seal three times can cause you to lose your Master status and gain protection within the Holy Church. Have you forgotten? Have you lost your memory?"
"Furthermore, Shinji Matou set up this kind of magic circle that could kill people, and then solemnly claimed it was for insurance, that he was forced into it? If you were forced into it, why didn't you go to the Holy Church? You have Command Seals, how could you not command your own followers?"
"The one? Medusa, she's not a Heroic Spirit with a divine spirit origin." Da Vinci stared at the screen speechlessly, unable to find a better way to express his disbelief.
"Now I know why Emiya-mama hates the younger version of herself in this world," Nezha sighed, feeling quite troubled.
"If you're going to replenish your magical power by absorbing blood, then you don't need to drain a person dry, do you? That student would have died if Rin Tohsaka hadn't saved him. If someone had a sense of justice, they would have used a Command Spell to command Medusa, but Shinji Matou didn't."
Sherlock Holmes said, "Shinji Matou is an evil man, beyond redemption. That look in his eyes is that of an executioner, a murderer, a look of contempt for life. Such a man does not deserve to live and does not need to be judged."
What he hates most is this kind of crime, where people make excuses for themselves, hurt innocent people, and think they are the most innocent and that they have done nothing wrong.
Shinji Matou perfectly embodies the characteristics of a villain.
“This is a lackey who follows the oppressor. Matou Shinji doesn’t even deserve to be an oppressor.” Spartacus shook his head. “Power amplifies the evil that is naturally present in people like Matou Shinji. The Heroic Spirit Medusa does not have this power.”
One Piece, the Fifth Emperor timeline.
Sengoku said, "The boy who wants to become a champion of justice is too naive. This ideal of justice is beautiful, but now it seems like a joke. Letting a murderer go unpunished, doing nothing, and instead believing that the other party is harmless and innocent—that's not much different from being an accomplice to a murderer."
"Since you've chosen to stand on the side of justice, you shouldn't tolerate evil wreaking havoc right under your nose. You don't want your family and innocent people to be killed by Matou Shinji if you can't use the power of the law enforcement agencies to deal with him now. What you should do is obvious, isn't it?"
Akainu frowned, looking at Emiya Shirou, who, though kind, was hesitant and unable to make a decision. "Is this all you want to be, an ally of justice?"
They want to stop the evil magician from harming innocent people, but instead of sending the evil magician directly to hell?
"I thought you'd been enlightened after experiencing hellish conditions. But it seems you're just all talk, like those other people."
“Disgusting hypocrite…” Inside Impel Down, Doflamingo looked at Shirou Emiya with considerable disdain.
"What's the use of having ideals? Who have your ideals saved? You'll definitely regret your naivety today."
Type-Moon Zero timeline.
Kiritsugu frowned, staring at Matou Shinji in the image. Given his style of doing things, Matou Shinji's arm had already been cut off.
He would simply cut off Shinji Matou's arm and take away the Command Seals.
Or just kill Shinji Matou with a headshot.
Magicians who set up evil magical barriers within schools are no longer human, just like Dead Apostles.
People who disregard the lives of ordinary people are no beasts.
"Huh...? The exchange between third-rate magicians is truly laughable. Setting up such a low-grade magical barrier, is this what they call insurance?" Director Ken couldn't help but smile slightly, shaking his head. It was truly foolish and shameful.
“It’s a disgrace that three families of magicians were born in this remote and impoverished place. No wonder the Clock Tower considers you magicians to be nouveau riche.”
"Your ancestors might have been magicians. But you are definitely not magicians."
Neither Shirou Emiya nor Shinji Matou are magicians, so Director Ken was not surprised by the actions of these two oddballs. It was to be expected that they would be so foolish without any magical training.
But Rin Tohsaka, knowing that Shinji Matou's actions violated the rules set by the Clock Tower, actually did nothing about it, didn't tell the Overseer Kirei Kotomine, and didn't even contact the Clock Tower's Legal Affairs Department...!?
Do you even deserve to be called a magician? The rules that magicians follow to maintain the mystery of magic, have you completely forgotten?
This disappointed Director Ken, as the little girl's intelligence was about the same as that of Shinji Matou and Shirou Emiya.
"This Holy Grail War is like a child's game."
The Clock Tower Law and Politics Department, along with other departments of the Holy Church, have dispatched executors to Fuyuki City to wipe out the city's magicians.
These foolish magic families that expose their secrets to the world cannot be allowed to continue existing.
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War timeline.
"...How can there be such a hypocrite? Matou Shinji was your friend in the past, so you can't bring yourself to do it? So you can watch Matou Shinji kill other people and do nothing? A partner of justice...? A laughable clown." Ishigami Yu said disdainfully, instantly losing all affection for Emiya Shirou.
Especially the Shirou Emiya in this world, the difference between him and the Heroic Spirit Shirou, and the Black Shirou Emiya.
"Or are you going to wait for Matou Shinji to activate this so-called insurance and watch the students at the school get killed before you go after him? You're so righteous, Emiya Shirou."
"You only care about Rin Tohsaka, don't you? You were quite decisive in saving Rin Tohsaka, but if Shinji Matou were to hurt Rin Tohsaka, you would definitely kill Shinji Matou directly, right?"
Ishigami Yu is going all out; he'll definitely send Matou Shinji to the hospital, no, he'll kill Matou Shinji outright.
There are people I cherish at school, how could I let such a beast do whatever he wants? Who do you think you can convince with such a flimsy excuse?
"It seems that Shinji Matou has a history with..."
"Shirou Emiya must have built a very deep friendship. It's like a modern person discovering their best friend has gone astray and not knowing what to do... It's truly a complicated interpersonal relationship," Kaguya Shinomiya said.
"Thinking about it carefully, considering the family and upbringing of Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka, it's understandable that Shirou Emiya would develop a morbid kindness and Rin Tohsaka would become like this. They've already done very well, considering they received their education in such a remote and impoverished place," said Maki Shijou haughtily.
"Hmph, Shinji Matou, what a disgusting man. He has absolutely nothing outstanding about him, yet he maintains such confidence. He doesn't even have Command Seals, so Shinji Matou isn't the Rider's Master, is he?"
"I still prefer the grown-up version. The other world's Emiya Shirou is so mature and handsome... He can do everything! It's amazing." Hayasaka Ai's eyes sparkled with countless little stars as she eagerly awaited the appearance of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.
....................

Night falls.
Emiya Shirou spends his days training in the warehouse, wasting his precious magical talent.
He was performing enhancement magic by holding stones or iron blocks.
He found that he had a much higher success rate when enhancing utility knives, scissors, or kitchen knives than when enhancing other items.
A few hours passed quickly, and Shirou Emiya lay down on the floor and fell asleep.
Although he is immature as a magician, his physical abilities far surpass those of his peers, except for the devilish muscles of Rin Tohsaka and the wrestling demon Luvia.
Suddenly, countless transparent threads appeared through the window and reached Shirou Emiya's body. The transparent threads pierced into Shirou Emiya's neck and instantly took control of his body.
Medea swiftly manipulated Shirou Emiya's body, pulling him backward along the transparent threads that stretched from Ryudouji Temple. The surrounding scenery flashed by, and within seconds, Shirou Emiya was captured by Medea and brought inside Ryudouji Temple.
At this moment, Artoria finally noticed something was wrong; the master's magical energy had disappeared from the surrounding area!
She vanished from the room in an instant, rushing towards her master.
She was too careless, carelessly thinking that with her around, the enemy wouldn't dare to come over openly.
While regretting her carelessness, she chased after the transparent thread and sprinted towards Ryudong Temple. Her legs pounded the ground as she ran, creating a whirlwind around her and blowing up dust and sand.
Unfortunately, Taiga's little motorcycle isn't here today, and her magic power isn't enough to modify Fujimura Taiga's little motorcycle with magic.
Artoria, riding a small motorcycle and wielding the Excalibur, seems to be Irisviel's exclusive persona.
Medea, dressed in a black cloak and with dark purple lipstick on her lips, watched with pleasure as Shirou Emiya fell into her trap.
She didn't cut off Shirou Emiya's arm directly; that's something a third-rate magician would do, something only a barbarian would do.
She intends to use a magician's method to steal Shirou Emiya's Command Seals.
Medea would do anything to return to her homeland and be with the person she loves.
