Anyway, he first reported the matter to Irisviel and Illya.
Then, just as expected—he got thoroughly chewed out.
The reason was simple enough. The Acting Priest's work was extremely dangerous, and they didn't want Shirou taking risks.
Their faces went pale, especially when they heard that using magic was forbidden while he was working as an Acting Priest.
"Why!?"
"Well, I'm carrying out justice in the name of the Lord. Of course I can't use magic that's considered taboo."
"That's way too reckless..."
In the end, he still failed to win their support.
The next day during lunch break, Shirou called Sakura and Rin Tohsaka out again.
"It isn't too late yet. Hurry up and turn down that dangerous job, Senior!"
The purple-haired girl looked worried.
After all, when people heard "Acting Priest," they imagined fighting monsters like vampires in dark alleyways. It was only natural for her to feel that the work was dangerous.
"If you're embarrassed to say no, I'll explain it to Miss Karen!"
Sakura clenched her fists with a resolute expression.
Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou had apparently greeted Karen when she had first taken office.
Rin was Fuyuki City's Land Manager, while Sakura was the representative of the Matou Family.
Rin Tohsaka propped up her chin and said, "Amamiya, you didn't get bewitched just because she was cute, did you?"
"Is that true, Senior?" Sakura Matou asked nervously.
Shirou hurriedly shook his head. "Huh? H-How could that be!?"
Rin Tohsaka flashed a little devil's smile. "Hmm? Do you dare say you don't find Miss Karen cute at all?"
"..."
Shirou paused for a moment, then immediately defended himself. "Cute is cute, I guess...
"But I only agreed to do this to protect Miss Justiça!"
"So Senior does think she's cute after all..."
Sakura Matou muttered
