After hearing Shinji's explanation, Shirou's brows furrowed deeply. Something so absurd was not something a person like Shirou, who lacked even the most basic knowledge of magi, could accept in such a short time.
Several minutes later...
"Shinji... what is the Matou Family's long-cherished wish?"
"Huh?" Shinji was somewhat surprised by the question Shirou threw out after hearing all that. "Why ask something like that?"
"Is it something that can't be said?" Shirou wore an apologetic expression, as though he had asked something he should not have.
"Well, it's not something that can't be said. After all, it's already been completely abandoned by this unfilial descendant."
