Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

At this time, Shirou Emiya also remembered that he did not see her last night.

What happened?

"What? Senior, are you planning to go and comfort the lonely girl when you see her?"

BB's teasing words came into Emiya Shirou's ears.

"It's not to this extent. Do I look like someone who would comfort a stranger?"

Shirou Emiya immediately gave a negative answer. Although it was true that people in his school called him a good guy when he was in junior high school, he would not help everyone and would not approach a girl just because she was feeling lonely.

Rather, unless it is someone he is familiar with, such as Sakura, even if he sees her, Shirou Emiya will choose to ignore it most of the time.

Of course you have to do your own things!

Of course, if the reason why the other person looks so depressed is because he is being bullied, that would be another matter and Shirou Emiya would take action without hesitation.

It was just that the other party used that class card, the girl of that man, which made Emiya Shirou take a second look.

Chapter 961 Call Me Muramasa

"That is, brother?"

Under the light, looking at Shirou Emiya who suddenly appeared at the park gate, Illya couldn't help but tilt her head, her heart full of doubts.

I should have said hello before going out, so as not to make my brother worry so much that he would go out to look for me.

"No, Illya, that's not your brother. Have you forgotten what Longzi and the others said about the man they met on the road who looked very much like your brother?"

Ruby floated beside her, and quickly realized that the [Shirou Emiya] in front of her was not Illya's brother.

"Hey! Is that the person Miyu ran off to find earlier?"

"Illya, your reaction is really slow, but you seem to be worried right now, so it's understandable!"

Ruby, floating beside Illya, nodded, as if she had found a reason for Illya's lack of reaction.

While they were talking, Emiya Shirou walked forward on his own.

It should be said that he was just like a passerby, who just took a quick look out of interest, stayed for a while, and then left quickly.

He and the silver-haired girl in front of him were just strangers who met by chance.

"Follow me, Illya!"

When Ruby saw Shirou Emiya walking away, she immediately spoke to Illya, who had a very gloomy expression.

"Eh! Eh? Why!?"

"Illya, aren't you interested in this guy who suddenly appeared in Fuyuki City and looks exactly like your brother?"

"Yes, there is! But now——"

Illya's tone was very low. If it were in the past, she would naturally follow Emiya Shirou without hesitation, and would not even need Ruby's guidance.

But now, all she could think about was what Miyu had said to her earlier, and she had no reason to fight at all.

Even though I had already left such a dangerous place, I felt extremely lost for some reason.

"If we don't follow them, they'll leave! Illya! Please satisfy my curiosity!"

Ruby flew quietly to the park entrance, looked at Shirou Emiya who was getting farther and farther away, and spoke anxiously to Illya behind her.

"I know, I know. Just follow him! But if we do that, it will make us feel like stalkers!"

Even if she gave up looking for Class Cards for Sister Rin, Miyu and the others, Ruby was still willing to stay by her side. What reason did she have to refuse?

Having said this, Illya jumped down from the wooden chair and came to the entrance of the park.

"Go! Go! Go! Go!"

Even though the other person looked a lot like Illya's brother, it was Ruby who was excited!

However, Illya still caught up with Ruby and followed behind Shirou Emiya secretly.

"Don't let the other party find out! Tracking is not a good thing!"

Seeing that the moment when Emiya Shirou turned the corner, Ruby sped away on the street as if no one was around, and Illya couldn't help but remind him.

How embarrassing it would be if we were discovered!

"Snapped--!"

The sound of something being caught was heard on the deserted street.

Before Illya reached the corner, an extremely oppressive figure emerged from the shadows, holding the struggling ruby ​​tightly in its hand.

"Illya, save me!!!"

"Since you all know that stalking others is not a good thing, why do you still do it?"

As the words fell, Emiya Shirou grabbed Ruby who was twisting her body to break free, and looked at Illya who was trembling in front of him.

"sorry!!!!!"

Illya apologized loudly, after all, they were the ones who were wrong in the first place.

"Tell me, what are you two planning to do by following me like this?"

Shirou Emiya let go of the struggling ruby ​​in his hand and stared at Illya.

"Eh? You're not surprised to see me. Are you a magician?"

Ruby, who had finally broken free from its restraints, flew back to Illya's side and looked at Shirou Emiya with surprise.

After all, logically speaking, she can be considered a decoration, a dead object. A dead object acts like a living thing and can even talk. Normal people will be surprised when they see it for the first time.

Shirou Emiya said that his prototype of the demon-possessed creature was still alive even after being made into armor, which was nothing to be surprised about.

"Yes, there shouldn't be any problem. Fuyuki City doesn't prohibit other magicians from entering."

"That's the truth, but I really didn't think of it."

Emiya Shirou was not surprised that Ruby could speak, but Ruby was surprised that Emiya Shirou was a magician.

"So can you answer the question of why you are following me?"

Shirou Emiya couldn't think of any reason why the other person was following him. Could it be that he discovered that he was the one wearing the armor?

But this is impossible. His aura is basically completely concealed by the armor, leaving only a beast-like aura. Moreover, he has only met the silver-haired girl in front of him once. Could it be that the other party has the same terrifying revelation as Joan of Arc?

While Emiya Shirou was brainstorming, Illya spoke up in an embarrassed tone.

"I, I just thought you looked like my brother, so I followed you."

This was indeed the reason why she followed.

"elder brother?"

Shirou Emiya stood there and pondered for a while, as if he understood something.

"Are you Emiya's sister?"

He always felt that it was weird to call his own name directly to other people. In fact, it was very weird, but he couldn't use the name Emiya Shirou in this world.

At least it can't be used now.

"Well, brother, do you know my brother?"

Seeing Shirou Emiya's look of sudden enlightenment, Illya was also a little confused. Did he know her brother? Why had she never heard her brother mention him?

"No, it's just that the neighbors have been saying that I look a lot like him these days, so I have a deep impression of him."

"Senior, you are much better at lying now than before--" BB complained in the channel. Thinking back to the past, lying was what Shirou Emiya was worst at.

Now I can really speak without hesitation.

“Sometimes there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Shirou Emiya replied softly to BB. He didn't want to lie, but he couldn't just tell the other party that he was Shirou Emiya from a parallel world.

"Then what should I call you?" Ruby also spoke up. If they were magicians of the Clock Tower, it would know a few of them. Even if they were just students like Toosaka Rin, as long as the subject was known, it could still ask Toosaka to check, although Ruby felt that the other party should not be a magician of the Clock Tower.

"My name is Senko Muramasa, just call me Muramasa—"

Since I can’t use my real name, I can only continue the tradition and use a pseudonym.

Chapter 962: Just a Coincidence

"Oh! Sengo Muramasa, isn't that the swordsmith from Kuwana, Ise Province during the Edo period? You're not using a fake name to fool us!"

Illya didn't know, but Ruby knew a lot. After all, it was originally meant to assist Toosaka Rin in recycling the class cards, and the class cards represented the heroic spirits in history.

Therefore, Ruby still has a lot of knowledge about history. Knowing the real name of the other party's servant will enable her to make better countermeasures.

Many servants cannot avoid the constraints of legends. For example, those who possess the terrifying inherent skill of the Number of Saints, which triples their power, are bound by legends.

"Would you tell your real name to a magician of unknown origin?"

Shirou Emiya had nothing to refute about this, as Sengo Muramasa was originally a name he borrowed from someone else.

“What about trust between people?”

"You guys followed me silently and secretly like this, and you still have the nerve to talk about trust between people."

Shirou Emiya complained aloud. In this situation, it wouldn't really matter whether he said his name or not, as there were many reasons for it.

"Well, well! You know, there are reasons for everything."

As she spoke, Ruby turned her head and looked at Illya who was standing beside her.

But Illya seemed to have no reaction. She still lowered her head, with a look of desolation on her face.

After all, her whole attention is now on Miyu, and her mind has no room for other things.

"Take care of your own affairs first. Your worries are written all over your face."

Seeing Illya's expression that showed her worries clearly on her face, Emiya Shirou didn't know what to say.

"Hey! I'm sorry!!"

“There’s no need to apologize.”

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. It's already very late. By the time I finish processing these ingredients, dinner will become a midnight snack."

Shirou Emiya picked up the food in his hand and reminded the other party that he did have something to do now. If he continued to argue, it would be very late before dinner.

only--

"Tick!"

“Tick-tock!!”

"Tick tock!!!"

Drop after drop of water fell from the sky. The air was filled with a moist smell at this moment. Rain began to fall from the edge of the sky.

If it weren't for Illya and Ruby's tracking, Shirou Emiya would have been able to return to the Emiya residence before the rain fell.

If Shirou Emiya hadn't passed by here, Illya and Ruby wouldn't have spent so much time tracking him, and would have returned home long ago, and might even have taken a bath.

"where is your house?"

Feeling the sudden wetness, Shirou Emiya immediately asked Illya who was still in a daze in front of him.

"My home is over there, maybe a little far—"

Everyone was in a residential area, so it wasn't far at all. It was just that since I had been sneaking behind Shirou Emiya, the distance from my home had become farther.

"Really? My home is not far from here. How about following me there to take shelter from the rain?"

Feeling the raindrops falling harder and harder, Emiya Shirou decided to ask for the other party's opinion first. If it was not necessary, Emiya Shirou would not force it.

After all, if anything, the other party has a way to ignore the rain and go home directly.

He used the magic ruby ​​to transform himself into the magical girl he had seen before and flew back directly.

The A-level magic barrier is obviously able to block raindrops.

There is no need for Emiya Shirou to worry.

On the one hand, Emiya Shirou spoke like this out of habit, and on the other hand, he should not be unaware of the function of ruby ​​as a magic gift.

Of course, Shirou Emiya didn't think too much about it. He just asked Illya out of habit.
