Shirou hadn't been coming to my office to help lately, and during the day he was always hanging out with young girls...
Waaah, everyone's been looking at Shirou with such passionate eyes lately."
Hearing this, Shirou said with an amused smile, "What are you talking about?
Wasn't it you, Eiri, who told me to keep my distance from you during the day so no one would notice our relationship?"
