When morning came, Saber put away her Excalibur with a bit of satisfaction on her face.

"I have made great progress. In just one night, that strange slash became so powerful, and the efficiency of using magic power has also improved a lot. Well done, Miyu!"

Lying on the ground, Miyu, who was dirty after a night of training, mustered up the energy to raise his head and say thank you.

"Thank you, Ms. Saber..."

"No need to thank you, I just helped you a little bit."

"Hehehe..."

For some reason, the panting Shirou, who was lying on the ground with the same dirty body, let out a helpless laugh, and then collapsed.

"Why did I also participate in Saber's training in the middle of the training?"

"Shirou, you are far from enough! Although Projection Magic is becoming more and more proficient in using it, the training is still far from enough!"

A few kilometers away, a certain archer who was sitting on the roof of a lonely bungalow on the hillside after watching the whole night's fun also chuckled softly.

"Just a brat..."

Then, the archer stood up and jumped from the roof.

It's almost time for your Master to get up and go to school, so it's time to go to the shopping street to buy groceries and prepare a nutritious breakfast and lunch lunch for your Master.

As for Magical Girl, which I watched all night, I have no interest at all!

On the way back, Shirou took Saber and Miyu to a shopping street, firstly to buy ingredients for today's three meals, and secondly to get familiar with Miyu.

As luck would have it, I happened to bump into Red A who was also shopping for groceries. However, Red A didn't want to communicate more with Shirou and his group. After sarcastic words as usual, he took out two of the Anko cookies he bought and gave them to the children (Miyu) with disdain and then left.

Seeing Saber eating the Anko cake passed by Miyu and Miyu passing the Anko cake to her, Shirou sighed softly and said, "I don't need it, Miyu. You and Saber eat it."

That guy didn't even think of himself as one of them. Shirou noticed it right away. That Archer just didn't feel good about himself!

"Okay, it's time to choose the ingredients. Your physical strength is a bit exhausted at night, so let's make a hearty breakfast."

"Oh! Wise decision, Shirou!" Saber's hair swayed and she praised from the bottom of her heart.

"I will also help." Miyu also quickly interjected.

The vegetable seller's eyes changed when she looked at Shirou when she heard this.

Are you physically exhausted at night? With two little girls who look like they are underage? One of them is still in elementary school, right?

The aunt didn't dare to think about it any further. It looked like a handsome young man with a sense of justice...

Hiss——! What a beast with a human face!

Matou Family Today's morning started when the water heater in Sakura's bathroom broke down.

"Sakura, don't worry, I'll find someone to repair it today."

Looking at Rider who was hurriedly flipping through the phone book, Shinji, who had just returned from morning exercise, also complained in his mind that the water heater in his sister's bathroom was an "old" problem and would break down every few days.

There is a feng shui problem in that bathroom. Any water heater will malfunction intermittently once it is entered. This is a metaphysical problem and there is no way to cure it for the time being. I can only wait for a while and wait for myself to figure it out before I can cure it.

"No, Rider, I'll just use my brother's bathroom first."

Looking at Sakura with her eyes bent and smiling as she spoke such words, Rider understood something instantly. However, out of his professional ethics (being a maid), he decided to find someone to repair the water heater after Sakura went to school.

"Hmm..."

"Huh?" Sakura, who was sitting at the dining table, looked at Rider who made a small sound in surprise, "What's wrong? Rider?"

"No, it's nothing." Rider quickly shook his head gently.

On the side, Shinji, who was addicted to playing tricks under the table, also ended his little prank in time. As the head of the family, Shinji can still see the atmosphere in this family.

Although Rider had been trained by Sakura to have the concept of master and servant, after spending time together, he subconsciously developed a strange and special emotion towards Sakura, similar to resistance.

Shinji saw all this in his eyes and did not point it out in front of either of them. He was even happy in his heart.

To be honest, Shinji doesn't like the silent submissive type, and besides, what is a queen without intrigues... Ahem!

After breakfast, Shinji once again discovered the "small" pantyhose accidentally left by Sakura in the bathroom. Before Shinji could take out the pantyhose that his sister had accidentally left behind, Rider appeared first.

"I'm very sorry, Master. This is a dereliction of duty on my part. I will wash all the dirty clothes today."

"Call Master."

Bah! Rider cursed in his heart a rogue and a bastard for actually bringing the same routine into reality during the sparring session, but in the end he still shouted with a red face.

"Master..."

Amid the intensifying noise of Luviya and Rin trying to undermine each other, today's student life also came to an end.

Shinji is a little disappointed that today's Luviya still hasn't carried out the next step of domineering strategy for himself. Should he find a way to hint to the other party?

Like Cinderella, exposing her weak side and deliberately seducing the other party?

"Hey, wait a minute!"

After school, after cleaning up for the day, Shinji was ready to go back and continue making game cards, but at this moment, Rin called out to Shinji.

Looking at the frowning Rin, Shinji's first reaction was that the other party must have noticed the distortion of the spiritual veins, so he wanted to question himself.

"It's been three days, and I can confirm that that woman (Luviya) is targeting you!"

Hearing Rin's whispered reminder, Shinji realized that he was overthinking it, but he was also surprised that as the manager of Fuyuki Leyline, he hadn't noticed such a thing yet. Rin was also a bit nervous.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Rin. After all, the distortion of the spiritual veins is related to Mirror World. It is difficult to detect without careful inspection. Even Rider, who claims to be the god of the earth and can feel the abnormal movements of the spiritual veins, needs to spend a lot of effort and careful sensing to feel it.

Not to mention, Rin hasn't been focusing on this kind of thing recently. As soon as he gets home, he goes into the basement to study the ring and the topic Second Magician left for his family - Jewel Sword.

Rin felt that this kind of self-contained space ring definitely used technology similar to Second Magic, so he buried himself in it in the hope of researching something.

As for the archer who took the initiative to take over the patrol mission, he has recently been busy just buying groceries to prepare three meals a day for his Master, and resting in the courtyard.

Not to mention Shirou, no one would take the initiative to notice this change.

"In other words, maybe Illyasviel will be the first among these people to discover the abnormality..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Rin, who was walking with Shinji, asked in confusion as he listened to the other person talking to himself.

"No, it's nothing."

Shinji shuddered, and then he spotted a silver-haired girl who was waiting for him on his way home from school, with his arms spread out, minding his own business and playing in circles on the road.

Following Shinji's gaze, Rin also spotted the silver-haired girl.

"Illyasviel, is she here... hey? Where is she?"

Before he finished speaking, Rin suddenly realized that Shinji beside him was missing. After looking around, he could not find Shinji.

At the same time, Illya, who was looking over, also found out that Shinji, who was with Rin just now, disappeared out of thin air, and was furious.

I've been waiting here all afternoon, but the other person ran away just after seeing me? I'm not a devil, why should I hide from myself? Or does the other party really know something...

Thinking of the comparison results between Miyu's hair and Shirou's hair that he secretly collected yesterday, as well as their DNA results, Illya felt helpless.

Judging from the DNA comparison results, the two people are really related by blood! It turns out it's not just the eye color that's the same!

"Illyasviel, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for classmate Emiya?" Rin, who was walking over, stopped and asked Illya, "But he seemed to have said today that he would go to work after finishing club activities..."

"What I'm looking for today is not Shirou..." Illya sighed softly, "What I'm looking for is Shinji Matou."

"Huh? Or is it for Third Magic? I advise you to forget it. I know that bastard best. When he said he has no interest, it means he really has no interest..."

"No, looking for him this time has nothing to do with Third Magic." Illya shook his head, his expression became serious, and he looked directly into Rin's eyes, "As the manager of Fuyuki, don't you think you haven't noticed it yet?"

Rin frowned, "What?"

"Well, forget it. Since you, the manager, haven't noticed it yet, I won't take the spotlight. After all, it's none of my business. Goodbye, Rin."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Illya did not continue to prompt, but left directly.

Rin returned home alone, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Finally, he came to the kitchen and asked about Red A, who was concentrating on releasing Unlimited Meal Works's skills.

"Archer, have you noticed anything unusual during your recent patrol?"

"Abnormal phenomena? No, very peaceful."

"I'm not talking about the street, I'm talking about Fuyuki's spiritual veins."

"Sorry, I'm not a god related to the earth like Rider, so I can't feel any abnormal changes. What's wrong?"

Rin held her forehead and sighed, "Forget it, it seems I have to go check it out myself and prepare myself, Archer, we are going out tonight."

"I understand." Red A nodded.

Originally, Rin planned to go out at night to explore the spiritual veins, but before going out, she received a call from the Mage's Association.

On the phone, Mage's Association informed Fuyuki Leyline about the distortion, and very kindly explained that Mage's Association would handle the matter secretly without Tohsaka Residence having to worry about it.

Listening to the other party's kind tone, Rin also scolded the other party several times in her heart. Why are you pretending to be kind?
