Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

"Phew..." I breathed a sigh of relief.

Going out with Rin Tohsaka felt like eloping, and Shirou was a little nervous.

Now that he has met someone he knows, he feels much more relaxed.

Shirou thought to himself: I feel like Rin and Luvia could become good friends.

--------------

Volume 6, Chapter 279: Shirou, by building a harem, became a legend of the Clock Tower!

"Shirou! Long time no see~!"

Luvia Zelita ran towards Shirou, waving her arms, her full breasts swaying violently with her running, creating a very erotic scene.

"Long time no see, Luvia..."

"Shirou~~~~!!"

As she made the sound, Luvia smiled and opened her arms.

Rin Tohsaka's mouth dropped open.

The blonde girl with Roman curls seemed to fly into Shirou's arms, instantly closing the distance by more than ten meters and embracing the red-haired boy.

"Wow! It's Shirou! It really is Shirou! To reunite with him in a place like this... Ah, ah, ah, ah! Shirou and I are indeed connected by the red thread of fate!"

Luvia, who was hugging Shirou tightly, had a blissful expression on her face, an expression that could only be described as "dreaming of being a princess."

Her blonde hair exuded a sweet aura as she pressed her well-developed body against Shirou's chest without a care in the world.

"Ah... um... Luvia... it's been so long."

Shirou: "Um... isn't that good enough?"

Luvia: "Excuse me, please wait a moment."

Rin Tohsaka peeked at Shirou and noticed that his hands were awkwardly raised in the air, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.

Hmph... What's wrong with that? I'm enjoying it.

After Shirou's repeated urging, Luvia finally left his body.

After satisfying herself, she regained her usual noble demeanor, elegantly tidying her disheveled clothes and hair as she spoke:

"Because it's a touching reunion, I'm so happy to be able to hug and greet Shirou."

If Shirou doesn't mind, I'd like to snuggle in your arms for a few more hours, okay?

"Well... please spare me." Shirou gave a wry smile.

— Luvia Zelita Edfield.

She is a girl Shirou met during his trip to Europe several years ago.

While traveling in London, Shirou got separated from Irisviel and the others and got lost. He happened to run into Luvia, who had also gotten separated from the butler.

She was fighting a group of sworn enemies, and was outnumbered and at a disadvantage.

Shirou, who witnessed this scene, assumed that a young girl had been attacked by a thug with malicious intent, so he went to help and repel the enemy.

In return, Luvia showed Shirou around London and took him to a shopping mall she had recently purchased.

There, they encountered a new incident and were trapped inside the mall's barrier. In the end, Shirou stepped in and resolved the situation...

Although my acquaintance with Luvia lasted only a short day, it was a thrilling dozen or so hours.

When they parted, Luvia asked Shirou for his contact information and address, and also gave him her own address.

In the parallel world's Romanian Holy Grail War, Shirou gave this address to Rokudou Reika and Jack the Ripper, instructing them to seek refuge with Luvia Zelita in the parallel world.

Unlike most of the magicians Shirou has encountered so far, Luvia Zelita is someone he can entrust with his life to.

"Is Shirou also here for the auction on the 'Mystic Eyes Collection Train'?"

"Ah, yes, that's because I received an invitation."

"Hehe, this must be fate between us~"

Luvia clasped her hands together, her white silk gloves folded, and then focused her gaze on Shirou's face.

"Shirou, are those glasses you're wearing...?"

"Yes, this is the 'Mystic Eye Killer,' borrowed from someone I know."

Shirou pushed up his glasses and said.

"I see. As expected of Shirou, he is very thoughtful in his preparations."

This wasn't something he specifically prepared for this auction; he simply kept it at home as a precaution.

Ever since Illya learned to use the Mystic Eyes, Shirou has been frequently attacked—

Illya will use her "Binding Mystic Eyes" to keep Shirou locked in the room and play with him all night long.

The reason Shirou brought "Mystic Eyes" this time was that even if he didn't need it, he could lend it to Rin.

"Wouldn't that seem a bit strange?"

Because Luvia had been watching him closely, Shirou asked.

The blonde girl shook her head: "How is that strange? Shirou looks great with glasses on too! Glasses suit you perfectly!"

"what…………"

Rin Tohsaka, mouth slightly open: Those were the lines I was going to say...

It was only then that Luvia Zelita finally shifted her gaze from Shirou and noticed the black-haired girl beside him.

She looked Rin Tohsaka up and down, then frowned slightly and asked, "Are you Shirou's attendant...?"

"No. Well, actually I am..."

Just as Rin Tohsaka was about to explain, Luvia, who was resting her chin on her hand, shook her head.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, you’re not Shirou’s attendant… You’re definitely not, I can tell.”

Hearing her say that, Rin Tohsaka showed a curious expression.

Luvia puffed out her chest triumphantly and said, "I can feel it."

Although it was just a sixth sense, the moment I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person.

Even if it's just a first impression or intuition, for someone who practices magic, it's a well-founded prediction.

Rin Tohsaka smiled and said, "How could that be? It's not a prediction, it's a premonition. Your intuition is amazing."

And... I can sense that your intuition has never been wrong so far, right?

Luvia: "Oh my... is this... your intuition?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Eh, if we admit that we all feel the same way, then it's not surprising."

Because I also—”

"You have accurate intuition, right?"

Luvia and Rin Tohsaka looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Shirou saw this and felt a sense of relief.

Just as I thought, Rin and Luvia will become good friends.

It looks like it's going to be a pleasant train journey.

Luvia: "Excuse my intrusion, are you Chinese?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Why would you think that? Ah...did you figure it out?"

Luvia: "That's right. Just from your posture and breathing, I can tell that you have a very solid foundation in martial arts."

Rin Tohsaka: "You're quite remarkable to be able to see all this just by looking at yourself... You must have studied martial arts."

"But you guessed wrong. I am a Japanese who has studied Chinese martial arts, but I am not purely Japanese; I have one-quarter foreign ancestry."

"So that's how it is. This is quite an adventure... It's a rare opportunity, let's take this chance to deepen our friendship."

Luvia extended her hand to Rin Tohsaka: "Nice to meet you. My name is Luvia Zelita Edelfelt, and I am from Finland."

May I ask your name?

Rin Tohsaka grasped her hand and said, "Of course, my name is—"

Just then, a long, drawn-out whistle echoed from the abandoned platform, interrupting the girls' conversation.

When they came to their senses, they found that they were surrounded by thick fog.

Although London is known as the Fog City, what enveloped them at this moment was not a gray fog, but a white fog with a mysterious quality.

Moreover, the platform, which originally only had three people, now has more than a dozen people gathered.

Those figures must also be invited guests, standing there in various sizes.

"coming……!"

Accompanied by the sound of an ancient steam whistle, light pierced through the fog.

A graceful wheel appeared on the track.

The locomotive, emitting a faint smoke, then appeared, and soon after, its magnificent structure was revealed.

The dark gray body looked like a warship sailing on a foggy sea, traveling on land where there were no tracks.

"——————"

The train slowly came to a stop, and its elegantly decorated doors opened to the outside, like a line of knights bowing.

Shirou was the first to take a step, and Rin Tohsaka and Luvia quickly followed.

The carriage the three entered appeared to be a carriage used for entertaining guests.

The air was filled with the refreshing aroma of fruit. In the center of the luxuriously decorated carriage, there was a large table with colorful fruits on it.

Shirou and his companions found a seat in the corner and sat down, while observing the passengers boarding the bus behind them.

Now that we know that the guests are all magicians, this is a great opportunity to observe the ecosystem.

The result was that the passengers who boarded the bus were all sorts of oddities, including all kinds of people.

A gentleman with a lizard's head, an elephant in a kimono, and a young girl with a crow being addressed as "teacher" by another young girl...

The carriage quickly filled up.

Everyone remained silent when Luvia suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Shirou, how many times have you attended an auction?"

"What about your first time?"

"This is my first time too, wow...we really are destined to meet!"

Rin Tohsaka thought to herself: This has nothing to do with fate...

But then again, Miss Luvia is really enthusiastic. Is it a difference between Eastern and Western cultures?

It's unbelievable that Finnish girls can pursue boys so openly; such a thing would be absolutely impossible in Japan.

But then again, given how outstanding Luvia is, what exactly did she see in him?

Well, Shirou is indeed outstanding in every way, I admit that... but do you all have to be so obsessed?

Confused, Rin Tohsaka took a big bite of the apple, peel and all.

"Wow! Wow! You must be Amamiya Shirou-kun? The legend of the Clock Tower has graced us with his presence, I'm so grateful!"

When everyone turned around, an overly flashy star-shaped eye mask came into view.

The girl who suddenly appeared was about the same age as Shirou and the others. She had what appeared to be dyed pink hair and was dressed in Lolita fashion that seemed out of place on the steam train.

Her snow-white dress, adorned with ruffles, made her look more like an online idol than a magician.

The most striking feature on her innocent and adorable face is the single eye patch decorated with ribbons.

"Is it another girl you know?"

Rin Tohsaka asked in a low voice, "This guy seems even more exaggerated than Luvia..."
