Before you made your decision, you must have already thought that I would fight you, right?
I certainly thought about it, but then I reconsidered and realized that a battle between us is completely meaningless.
You think you're guaranteed to win?
Esdeath questioned him and was about to make a move when she suddenly felt an intense pressure bearing down on her.
Shirou reached out, rubbed Esdeath's hair, and said with a smile:
Sorry, just this once, let me be a little willful.
From childhood to now, I've never acted arbitrarily in matters between the two of us; I've always discussed things seriously with you.
But for this single time, please let me act on my own.
Esdeath, become the Empress of the Empire, and then build the empire into the shape you desire.
The ice sword in Esdeath's hand had unknowingly vanished, and a sense of inexplicable bewilderment welled up in her heart.
Why can't I move at all?
Instead, there's a feeling of wanting this moment to last forever.
Alright, just this once.
Thank you.
Esdeath averted her gaze from Shirou, accidentally catching sight of the shivering little cat on his shoulder, and casually asked:
What's wrong with it? It's been trembling the whole time, was it scared by you?
Shirou scooped the little cat into his arms, rubbed it back and forth a few times, and said with a smile:
Maybe it needs to use the bathroom? After all, it's been several hours.
It's a cat, not a person.
Haha... From now on, this little cat will be an accessory on my body; wherever I go, it goes.
You really do like this cat.
It's my first time raising a pet after all, haha...
Can I pet it too?
No, it's mine.
Stingy!
