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

"Where...is this?"

Luvia's eyelids twitched wildly and she looked at her own yard in disbelief... No, now it should be said that they were the remains of a battlefield.

Overturned lawns, shattered buildings, and craters all over the ground...

"... Could it be that I've been too tired recently? I'm even hallucinating.

Unable to accept the reality, Luvia turned her head slightly and tried to ask her maid, but unfortunately, she was petrified the moment the door fell.

"..."

It seems that this is not her hallucination or dream.

"...What on earth did you do to me, Toosaka Rin!"

......

"Ah Qiu!"

"...Why do I feel like someone is saying something bad about me?"

"Rin, are you okay?"

"Hmm? Ah, I'm fine."

"...Is it because I didn't sleep well last night?"

No... this should have nothing to do with last night...

Toosaka Rin walked side by side with Sakura, looking a little tired, with Shirou and Shinji following not far behind.

After everyone gathered, they set off directly to their destination, so Shinji had just woken up and seemed unhappy.

"Really? Getting up so early in the morning and walking such a long distance, it really is good to be young..."

"Hahaha, you sound really old, and it's not that early in the morning...it's almost afternoon..."

Shirou followed Shinji, explaining things to him with a mixture of laughter and tears, though most of his comments were just complaints.

"...Why don't you tell me where your destination is? I can just fly you there."

"Ah... this thing can't fly, after all, we're just out for fun, and what if ordinary people see us?"

"Just see it, it doesn't matter anyway."

"How can it be indifferent? If someone sees your supernatural power, it will be very troublesome to deal with the aftermath, and it may even cause a big chaos!"

"Eh~ This is really troublesome. I used magic freely before, so I didn't have to worry about this or that. It's too restrictive..."

"That's because you were too free in the past!"

Shirou had cold sweat on his head as he looked at Shinji in front of him, whose appearance had not changed much but whose mental state was completely different from before.

It is really hard to imagine what kind of things he had experienced to make the person who used to be so cautious in everything he did become like he had been away from human society for a long time, and his casualness was a bit exaggerated...

Although in Shirou's opinion, this Shinji seems to be easier to get along with than before, which should be a good thing...

"Why don't you guys just walk slowly, I'll fly first."

"That's not the reason. I told you not to show off your abilities in front of so many people!"

This may not be a good thing...

Shinji was passing the intersection with Shirou when he saw the traffic light in front of him turn red in front of him, leaving a bright number "99".

A small "井" character appeared on the back of Shinji's head.

Are you kidding me?

Even Kami couldn't stop him from moving forward, and now he had to be controlled by such a small traffic light for such a long time! ? What a joke!

Shirou, who was standing next to him, was also troubled for a moment as he looked at the red light for so long, but when he turned his head and saw purple flames starting to float on Shinji's body, he was so scared that he instantly grabbed the other person.

Is this guy actually planning to transform right here?

There are obviously many ordinary people waiting for the traffic lights around! Even if you really want to fly, at least find a place where there is no one!

"...whispering sound!"

Shinji's actions were interrupted by Shirou, and he had no choice but to give up taking the shortcut and stand here honestly, waiting for the traffic light with ordinary people.

"..."

This guy...did he just say "tsk" in annoyance?

Shirou leaned against the pillar beside him, feeling a little tired. What on earth had Shinji done outside in the past two years? How did he become like this?

Fortunately, although the other party seemed very impatient, at least he did not really use magic or give up the journey directly, which made him feel relieved!

Wait... aren't they friends? Why does it feel like he's treating me like an ancestor now?

the other side

"...Nisan and the others are walking so slowly."

Sakura sat on a bench in a park, looking back at the way they had come... Shinji and the other man had been left far behind by them.

"It can't be helped. They didn't follow closely enough and ended up missing a traffic light. Of course, they had to wait for a long time!"

"Is this so..."

When Sakura heard Rin's explanation, her eyes brightened as she looked at Rin.

"Humph! I think it's what you deserve. Two grown men are walking so slowly... Why are you staring at me all of a sudden? Is there something on my face?"

"No, not really... I just suddenly realized that you've become so amazing, Rin! It seems like you're very familiar with the roads here.

"Besides, when you were at home before, you were very skilled in using those strange electrical appliances, even though you knew nothing about them before..."

"..."

Is this a compliment to her... I think so... Just take it as such.

"Of course this is easy. As long as you live here longer, you will be able to remember it... And before, I didn't need to deliberately learn those things, so I felt unfamiliar with them. Now... maybe because of the environment, I have to understand these things."

"Environmental factors?"

"That's right... After all, you and Shinji are just here for tourism, and you've already found a place to stay, so you haven't experienced the characteristics of this place."

"Specialties? What specialties? Delicious food?"

"No, it's wandering."

"!!?"

Sakura was stunned. She didn't expect to hear such a shocking word from the other person...

"Are you surprised? But there's nothing we can do about it... After all, the Clock Tower is built right next to it. If they knew someone was using magic to make money in society, or doing something else, I'm afraid someone would take him away immediately."

"So when I first came here to study, I could only live according to the standards of ordinary people. Getting lost, lack of money, unfamiliar things... were all common things."

"So slowly, I got used to it here, but the novelty has faded a lot now."

Sakura was shocked. Looking at Rin's vicissitudes of life, she didn't expect that the originally beautiful things would become so realistic...
