Going Out with BB

"Um, is it okay now, Mashiro?" Shirou asked.

"Let me touch it a little longer. Shirou's muscle structure always feels so incredible. I'm almost there." Mashiro was really feeling it, savoring the sensations her fingers were making. Her heart was racing, and her face was getting warm.

To get a clear look at the muscle distribution, the girl bent down, getting closer and closer until her nose was almost touching the boy's body. Finally Mashiro simply knelt on one knee, squatted down, slightly swayed her head, placed her hands on the boy's waist, and shifted her body and head weight onto him, meticulously examining every detail of the boy's abdominal muscles.

At that moment, the door to the room was opened.

"Wait? Shirou? Mashiro? What are you doing?" Jeanne d'Arc asked, looking inside in confusion. She really couldn't figure out what Shirou was half-naked, and Mashiro, who was squatting on the ground, were doing so close together.

After their outdoor special training (fighting) ended, the two of them went to the bathroom for a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, and returned to the living room.

But they couldn't find Shirou anywhere, so they went upstairs to check, and unexpectedly witnessed this scene.

"Huh? What's going on? Cold-blooded woman? Why are you squatting on the ground? Did you eat too much and get a stomachache?" Jeanne d'Arc asked, still looking puzzled.

"Mashiro? You've grown up already?" Artoria clutched her chest, and for some reason, the memory of learning from the knight about Guinevere and Lancelot's affair flashed through her mind, even though she had hoped to support them at the time.

However, this time, for some reason, my heart felt incredibly painful and cold, like a Magecraft being stabbed in the back by his student.

"Ah, are you alright, Artoria?" Shirou asked, puzzled.

"It's done! I know how to draw it now!" Mashiro left Shirou's side, walked back to her seat in front of the easel, added a few more strokes to Shirou's V-line in the drawing, making the muscles more dynamic and imposing, and then put away her brush. The composition was complete.

Even this sketch before coloring exudes extraordinary vitality, as if the man in the painting would jump out of the finished work.

The mermaid line inside is full of vitality, with a profound charm that drives human instincts. It is as hot as an inextinguishable flame, igniting a torch in people's hearts, especially in women's hearts.

"What? You're just drawing." Jeanne d'Arc leaned over to look at Mashiro's painting and sighed in exasperation. At first, she thought she was doing something strange. But judging from the cold-blooded woman's reaction, it seemed like she knew something. Only she had been kept in the dark, and she felt a little embarrassed.

'So she was just drawing. Luckily I didn't ask any questions. I'm so glad I didn't expose her,' the silver-haired girl thought to herself with relief.

Regardless of the fact that Alter-Ego was initially created based on the image of Saint Joan of Arc, which was the hope and aspiration of the Caster Marshal, and with the help of the Holy Grail, she was actually just a little girl who wasn't much older than Jeanne d'Arc Christmas Lily.

In fact, even the original Orléans girl grew up in the countryside, helping with farm work and devoutly attending church to pray, determined to dedicate her life to God like nun. Upon receiving divine revelation, she joined the army and became busy with one war after another.

She remained a pure and holy virgin until she was burned at the stake.

Even if the Holy Grail bestowed upon her common knowledge in this area, it couldn't possibly demonstrate it step by step like when Teacher Sora. Aoi (a famous Taiwanese singer) educates the public. Therefore, these were completely unfamiliar areas for the pure Jeanne d'Arc, and she couldn't connect them to anything else.

The saying "different strokes for different folks" perfectly illustrates this point.

"Huh? Ah? Just drawing?" Artoria was squatting on the ground, looked up and asked in surprise.

"It really is just drawing," BB-chan said with a laugh, sitting on the bed.

"Is that so... I see." Artoria stood up and looked at the sketch that Mashiro had drawn, finally calming down. She looked carefully at the boy in the drawing; his appearance was outlined, and more importantly, the boy's temperament was also expressed.

Artoria exclaimed to Mashiro, "It's drawn so well!"

"Well, actually, it would be even better if you were completely naked," Mashiro said with some regret.

"Hey! Mashiro, so you were planning to draw Shirou?!" Jeanne d'Arc d'Arc blushed and let out a strange cry.

"Hmm!" Artoria shuddered instantly, thinking that Mashiro still dangerous!

"Hmm?" Mashiro tilted her head in confusion, but not understanding, she gave up and turned to the boy, saying, "Shirou, I'm hungry. I want Baumkuchen and a pineapple bun."

"Yes, yes, it's all prepared for you, but please wash your hands before eating," Shirou replied.

So this matter finally came to an end. As for Mashiro would continue drawing that half-naked picture of himself in his room afterward, Shirou didn't dare to think too much about it. He just treated it as a ridiculous dream and forgot about it.

What he didn't know was that this painting would be sent to England for an exhibition a few months later, and as the new work of the talented young female painter who had gone to England, it was highly anticipated by people in the art world.

When I saw the painting in person, I was completely captivated. It is considered a new breakthrough for Shiina Mashiro since her debut and an outstanding work that can be called her representative work.

It is said that this painting, titled 'Young Warrior,' was so captivating because it showcased the most perfect abdominal muscles of a male that it became the subject of a bidding war among wealthy women. It eventually fetched a staggering price at auction and was ultimately acquired by a prominent Finnish aristocratic family, a double win for both fame and fortune.

After that, even Mashiro's parents and teachers, who had opposed her pursuing her dream of becoming a manga artist in Japan, were speechless.

That's wonderful news, Coca-Cola!

At this very moment, Mashiro was still in her room, holding a paintbrush and painting on the canvas, making subtle adjustments. Recalling the feeling at that moment, she was truly captivated and silently made a vow in her heart.

"One day, I will make Shirou promise me himself that I can draw his naked body to my heart's content!"

Chapter 293 Going Out with BB

Around 9 a. m., the Higashiya family parents had already left for work and were probably busy with their daily routine. Meanwhile, Artoria and Jeanne d'Arc were sweating in the courtyard, sparring with their bamboo swords.

Mashiro was still drawing that picture. Because she also had to draw manga in her spare time, it would take her at least another week to finish it. Komachi was also giving her advice, saying things like she should try to show off her brother's strengths as much as possible, which made people blush.

Shirou, who tried to ignore these things, went back to the kitchen to get busy after finishing breakfast and resting for a while.

Meanwhile, lotus root slices were being fried in the pan. The lotus root was divided into two pieces, with a meat filling mixed with various scallions and spices inside. They were then coated with some batter and fried in the pan until golden brown.

On the other side were pan-fried chive boxes and stuffed eggplants strung together in a single dish.

I put it in an insulated box, closed the lid, and attached a note on top indicating that it should be microwaved for 2 minutes.

Inside a large cylindrical pot on one side, Japanese curry was simmering. The golden liquid simmered and steamed, with apples, potatoes, beef, and chicken added, along with spices such as chili peppers, cloves, and cinnamon.

After simmering, let it sit for several hours to allow the curry and spices to fully infuse and absorb the flavors. Then, reheat it in the microwave. As the curry sauce loses moisture, the flavor will become even richer and more delicious than if you eat it now.

A soup was simmering in a large clay pot, with chunks of beef bones soaking in the boiling broth, slowly releasing their aroma. The heat was turned down to a simmer, and it would take at least two more hours for the soup to be ready.

He now prepares all the main dishes for lunch and dinner at once, leaving the rest to Komachi without any further instructions. With the unspoken understanding between the siblings, Komachi knows what to do.

If there's anything else needed, she'll just stir-fry some vegetables or make a salad herself.

After everything was finished, Shirou nodded, cleaned the kitchen utensils he had used, put them away, took off his apron, and went into the room to change into casual clothes for going out.

The previous online Holy Grail War competition has come to an end, but of the four Holy Grails that should have existed, Chaldea has only recovered two.

One of them has already been used by Wu Zetian. Now, with her being brought to China, in exchange for her maintaining stability in the China region, she will contact Chaldea whenever she finds someone who secretly performs possession summons, bypassing Chaldea.

But the remaining one is still missing; the missing man with the glasses who was most likely to possess it remains at large.

However, these are no longer his concerns. Now, to keep his promise, he is going to meet up with Yuihama and hold a celebration party for the previous battle.

The time is set for 2 PM, at the station entrance in the nearby commercial street, so there's still some time to spare.

"Senior? You prepared lunch and dinner so early in the morning. Are you going somewhere?" At this moment, the purple-haired girl, who was lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV, turned her head and asked with her chin resting on the back of the sofa.

"Yes, I'll be meeting up with some friends outside today," Shirou replied.

"Huh? Which girl was it from a few nights ago?" BB-chan asked curiously.

"Why? Are you so sure it's the girl from before?" Shirou looked at the purple-haired girl strangely. Aside from being mischievous, this girl had been staying home watching TV and playing on her phone these past few days, adopting a very sedentary, indoor lifestyle. Could she actually possess detective skills?

"Because you don't seem like the type to go shopping with male friends, do you?" the purple-haired girl said.

"So what kind of girl am I? But you guessed right, I'm Yui Yuigahama, the girl I met in the online world before." Shirou retorted, telling the girl exactly what happened.

"Ah, that girl with horns, her name is Yuihama, right? Is that so? Well then, have a safe trip." BB-chan waved and lay back down on the sofa.

"What are you saying? You come here too!" Shirou said.

"Eh? BB-chan is going too?" The purple-haired girl stretched out her hand and pointed to herself with a blank expression.

Shirou looked at the girl helplessly and said, "You haven't bought anything since you came here, have you? I've given you the towels, toothbrushes, and other daily necessities I have at home. But you don't have any of the essentials for a girl's life. That's why I prepared lunch in advance."

"Huh? But BB-chan's sweat smells like Chanel, she doesn't have periods, and she doesn't need to go to the toilet. It's like she automatically purifies all her waste within her body, so of course she can still get pregnant. BB is a cute junior now, and I want to be a virtuous wife in the future," the purple-haired girl said shyly, cupping her face in her hands.

"Why? Haven't you always longed to become human?" Shirou asked, puzzled.

BB looked at the boy and said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Yeah, of course, Shirou-senpai, but even humans, if given the chance to improve themselves, would yearn to become more beautiful, smarter, and more perfect, right?"

"... I can't argue with that." Shirou was speechless. Thinking about it that way, BB really was cunning, just like a human.

The purple-haired girl patted her chest proudly and said, "That's exactly right. Besides, BB-chan is everyone's favorite super idol! It's only natural that she's different. There's a saying these days: idols are angels! They don't even poop! They don't need anything that hurts, gets dirty, or smells."

"No... even idols need to use the restroom... Never mind, if you don't want to go, I'll go for a walk by myself. There's a newly opened restaurant over there, it seems really popular, maybe they have some new dishes, I was just thinking of going to learn how to make them." Shirou said sadly, covering his face, and simply turned and walked towards the door.

Integrating this child into human society seems more difficult than imagined. First of all, her habit of cheating is something she'll never break, even until she dies. It's a long and arduous road ahead.

"I'm going! BB-chan wants to come too!" The purple-haired girl quickly ran out of the living room, catching up with the boy in the entryway and saying repeatedly.

"Shirou-senpai, where should we go on our date?" BB asked with a grin.

Shirou scrutinized the girl. After spending these past few days together, he noticed she still only had one set of clothes. As expected of an AI, even with a physical body, she was still quite different from Servant like Artoria. She was truly a child he couldn't trust.

"Yes, how about I buy you some clothes first?" Shirou said.

"Huh? BB-chan has enough clothes. Her spirit dress has an automatic cleaning function, so there's no need to change it at all," the purple-haired girl said.

"Even if they don't get dirty, you still need to change your clothes. Most girls would want to dress up a bit more, right?" Shirou said, looking at the purple-haired girl.

The purple-haired girl blinked and asked, "What about nurse outfits or something?"

It seems this child needs a surprisingly large number of clothes.

I walked straight out of the residential area and arrived at the subway station ten minutes later. I boarded the subway and arrived at the shopping street where I had arranged to meet Yuihama ten minutes later.

It's one of the most bustling areas in the neighborhood, but since it was a weekday and office workers were still at work, and given the aging and declining birth rate in society, it was rare to see elderly people bringing their children here, so it didn't feel crowded, and teenagers could stroll leisurely along the street.

BB-chan looked around with great interest. For her, born in 2030, this modern commercial street might actually have a more nostalgic feel to it.

This shop is one of the most famous women's clothing stores in the area, loved by cross-dressers and women of all ages.

"Senior, how about this one?" BB-chan picked up a sheer purple lace nightgown, held it up in front of her, and asked with a mischievous grin.

"If you like it, that's all that matters," Shirou said, turning his head away.

"So it really is this one?" BB-chan picked up another black pajama set of the same style, testing the boy's reaction.

"Someone else said this one looks pretty good too! Ah! There's a seam in the chest area! Senior, hey~! Look over here~!"

After picking out several pajamas, the purple-haired girl went to the casual wear section and picked up Western-style dresses or shirts.

'But... why are all the outfits so designed to accentuate her breasts? Sakura would choose simpler loungewear... Is this intentional? But since I don't know anything about fashion, I'll refrain from saying more; that's the specialty of the dress shop manager who's currently recovering in the hospital.'

"Are these clothes really okay?" Shirou asked in surprise.

"Senior? Is there a problem?" BB-chan asked, turning around in front of the mirror.

"Won't it feel too cramped?" Shirou asked hesitantly, turning his head away.

"Huh? BB-chan isn't fat at all!" BB-chan looked at the boy very seriously.

"It's not a matter of being fat or not. Never mind, whatever makes you happy," Shirou said.

BB-chan chooses clothes that are all very tight. Her petite figure can easily fit into small-sized clothes, but her chest area looks very prominent.

The fabric of her upper body clung tightly to her bulging flesh, so taut that it wouldn't be surprising if the buttons on top seemed about to pop off at any moment. But as long as she liked it, it didn't matter.

The kids in the computer world dressed very aggressively; BB was actually quite good. When she went to school, she wore the same uniform as everyone else, so it didn't really matter.

BB-chan looked down at her chest, then smiled knowingly, seemingly quite happy. She then leaned closer to the boy, hugged his hand, and deliberately leaned forward, pointing a finger at his cheek and teasingly saying...

"Ahhh~! Senior, you're such a little pervert~!"

BB pretended not to hear, then snapped her fingers at the shop assistant and said, "I'll take them all!"

Shirou reluctantly took out his wallet and pulled out his bank card.

"What a considerate boyfriend!" The sales assistant smiled as she handed the wrapped clothes to BB with both hands.

"Senior! Senior! She said we're a couple! Hehehe, BB-chan, why don't you just buy this shop and give it to her?" BB-chan laughed heartily, squinting her eyes and showing her upper teeth, looking as cute as a silly squirrel.

"No! I already told you not to use your hacking skills." Shirou dragged the purple-haired girl away from the store quickly.

The female shop assistant had excellent professional skills; even though she was surprised, she maintained her well-practiced sales smile, perhaps because she didn't yet understand what she had missed.

After that, Shirou took the girl to lunch.

The cafe they chose had recently opened and had excellent online reviews. It also had new dishes that weren't available in the area, which piqued Shirou's curiosity as a chef.

There were white Round Table under parasols on the side of the shop, right next to the green belt. The surroundings were very quiet, with only the crisp chirping of birds among the trees. The view was also quite good, so I chose to sit there.

The waiter quickly came over upon seeing the customer.

BB-chan seemed to think it was best to leave it to her senior, so Shirou decided to order the chef's recommendation and the special set meal first.

"Please enjoy your meal." The waitress in her uniform served the food and then quietly and politely withdrew.

The lunch served consisted of sandwiches, signature roasted lamb chops, almond tofu, and surprisingly, the pasta was made with konjac flour, which was quite innovative. The drink was black tea with herbs.

It seems the chef here is truly skilled. Unlike themed restaurants and museum cafes in places like Kabukicho and Ginza, this place doesn't rely on novelty to win over customers; instead, it offers genuinely delicious food.

"How are you feeling?" Shirou asked the purple-haired girl.

"Mmm, this tonkatsu sandwich is really delicious, and the vanilla tea tastes great too. As expected of Shirou-senpai, you've got the food covered." BB-chan agreed with satisfaction.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, it was already 12:30.

"Well then... BB-chan will head back now," the purple-haired girl said, standing up.
