Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Chapter 10 Return to daily life

"Nissan, welcome back!"

"Dinner is almost ready. Stop running around or we'll have to find you. Can't Nissan give us a break?"

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Sakura's voice. Shinji said "hmm" casually, changed his shoes and sat in the living room, calmly watching the latest news to see if he could find some clues.

As of now, Sakura has not been chosen by the Holy Grail to be the Master, and according to the information he has obtained, the oil king's son has not yet summoned a Heroic Spirit.

His left hand grasped his right arm, which was always covered with a black arm guard, on which were the three-stroke Command Seals he had obtained in the last Holy Grail War.

According to the principle of the Holy Grail choosing the one who desires to realize his wish as the Master, he is confident that he can be the chosen one, but he does not like to choose the Heroic Spirit by lottery. If he has to choose one, he prefers Caster Medea, because he is the mastermind, and he is highly compatible with Caster Medea. In addition, her unique treasure [Ten Thousand Symbols Will Break the Rules] is a magic weapon for poaching.

It just so happened that the oil king's son summoned C-mother but didn't know how to use it, and in the end it fell to that kid Ge Mu. Although I felt sorry for the ending of these two people on TV at the time, it was a different story when I really saw them in the scene. Only a fool would not want a servant that he picked up for free.

"Nisan, it's time to eat!"

"coming!"

The layout of the house was renovated at Sakura's suggestion, and now it really looks homely.

There were only Sakura and Shinji at the dinner table. Not counting the long-deceased Matou Kariya and the rarely seen Matou Zouken, Shinji's father Matou Tsuruno died three years ago. Now that only the brother and sister were left in the family, Sakura took the initiative to take on the responsibility of housewife.

Seeing Sakura eating in a silly manner and glancing at him from time to time, Shinji felt mixed emotions...

In the past few years, Sakura still had to go to the insect room, but she still joked with him as if nothing had happened. However, Shinji, who had studied the art of controlling insects, knew that the insects crawled in the blood vessels under the skin and sometimes even ate the host's flesh and blood for nutrients. Such torture was extremely cruel for a girl.

But then was before and now is now!

It was the east of the river ten years ago, and it is the west of the river now. I have worked diligently for the past ten years not to continue to act according to other people's wishes!

"cherry!"

"Huh? What's wrong, brother?" Sakura was shocked. Could it be that she was caught peeking?

"Have you ever thought about moving?"

"Moving? Why are we moving? Is it because my brother feels uncomfortable living here? Or..."

"No, I just want you to be mentally prepared. You don't have to think too much about it."

"So, if we move, can I still live with my brother?"

“…these two things are not in conflict.”

"That's okay!" Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. Since the things she cared about were fine, everything else didn't matter.

After dinner, Shinji didn't plan to go out again. He wanted to sort out his recent arrangements.

First of all, there are normally seven servants in the Holy Grail War, but because Gilgamesh was incarnated in the last Holy Grail War, there is one more opponent, and he is the most difficult to deal with. In addition, there are Uncle B and Red A, one with extremely high basic stats and twelve trials to extend his life, and the other with infinite swordplay and unstable factors;

Secondly, the gap in combat power between the two sides is too great, but this is just a situation where the Holy Grail War is fought in one night. Now Sakura's servant Rider and his target servant Caster are a total of two Heroic Spirits, plus the sub-servant Sasaki Kojiro summoned by Medea and himself, a total of four available combat forces. Red A and Shirou are not on good terms, so there is no need to tear their faces for the time being. Berserker is best dealt with by Gilgamesh. If he wants to be the final winner, he must collect more powerful pieces.

Finally, in this Holy Grail War, because the Holy Grail abnormally appeared fifty years earlier, most of the mage families had no time to prepare, which allowed Zouken Matou to participate by chance and summon Assassin... Unfortunately, because of Shinji's hatred for the old bug, he will unfortunately become the first Heroic Spirit to retire.

Finally, as someone who has experienced the Fourth Holy Grail War, this time the Holy Grail War is too simple, just like a group of young masters and young ladies playing house, full of weird numbers.

In simple terms, the fourth war is about mind and vision, and all the masters are not simple, while the fifth war is about connections. It’s ok for a little high school student to become a master by chance, but the school girl and the elder sister are also masters, the girlfriend is the master, the younger sister’s grandfather is the master, the girlfriend’s guardian is the master, and the teacher is also the master...

The only two people who are somewhat scheming, Matou Zouken and Kotomine Kirei, are those who stayed over from the Fourth War. There's no point in fighting them. Just hold a family meeting to discuss who wants the Holy Grail.

As the information in his mind gradually became clear, Shinji fell asleep peacefully.

……

"!"

Sensing someone approaching, Shinji suddenly sat up from the bed, staring at the door, and subconsciously prepared to seal his hands...

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

"Nisan, it's time to get up!"

Hearing Sakura's voice, Shinji still didn't move. He gradually relaxed when he felt that the person at the door had gone far away.

"As expected... I'm still not used to it."

After having dinner with Sakura, the two went to school together. On the way, Sakura held Shinji's arm. Although Shinji was not very comfortable, he also enjoyed the closeness of the girl, especially the soft touch on his arm...

"Hey! Xiao...why are you the bastard again?"

When they arrived at the school gate, a girl with a high golden ponytail and exuding youthfulness stared fiercely at Shinji's face and the arm that Sakura was holding.

"Who told you to touch my Sakura? Let me go now!"

Shinji didn't take it seriously. After all, he was too familiar with the other person's personality. He just raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Where did this yellow-haired vicious dog come from? Is it the school's new guard?"

Not surprisingly, the girl got furious when she heard this and pounced over with her teeth bared. If Sakura hadn't pulled her back in time, someone would have been in trouble.

As for who that someone is? I won’t tell you, you guess!

When he entered the classroom, he saw the iconic red hair and smiling face at first glance, and he also saw Shinji.

"Hey, good morning!"

"Um"

"You're still so cold. By the way, thank you for what you did last time! How can I repay you?"

What happened last time? Thinking back to the information sent by the clone, it turned out that the night before yesterday, Shirou Emiya and his teacher Fujimura Taiga met some hooligans on their way back. Shirou Emiya's skills were not too bad, but because he was worried about Fujimura Taiga, he did not dare to use magic, and was at a disadvantage for a while.

At this time, the clone Shinji happened to pass by and helped him casually, which made Emiya Shirou realize that this friend who could still be talked to was actually so powerful. But in fact, even if he ignored it, it would be okay, because he found that Toosaka Rin was watching in the dark, and it was time to show some presence in front of the key chess piece.

"…It's okay. You don't need to thank me for something that's easy for you."

"How about that?"

Shinji looked a little strange when he heard Emiya's slightly shrill voice.

"If you really want to repay me, you can do me a favor."

"Whatever it is, just say it!"

"You try to lower your voice and say affectionately 'Naruto, I love you!'"

"Ah... ah?"

"Shinji, so you are that kind of person!"

Seeing Emiya blushing suddenly, and obviously thinking wrongly, Shinji didn't try to maintain his image, but continued, "You can't even do such a small thing? What a pity!"

"Well, it's not impossible, but who is this Naruto?"

"…An old acquaintance of mine. It doesn't matter if you don't know him."

"Well, then can you at least tell me if he is a man or a woman?"

“…Well, she’s a woman, I guess.”

"Oh, all right…"

After that, Shirou Emiya tried to do as Shinji said.

"Naruto-san, I…I love you! Is that right?"

"No! Don't add Miss, or Sauce or Sang, just call it 'Na Lu Tuo'!"

“Oh, that’s a lot to ask…”

After complaining casually, Shirou Emiya began to become serious and said affectionately: "What a drag, Oliwa, I love to wash the railway!"

"Yeah! It feels good. Well done."

"Okay! Stop talking, and let the class begin!
