Aoi Tohsaka stood up and began clearing away the tea set.
"Rin, Shirou is my friend, so please don't be too rude to him."
After saying that, Mrs. Tohsaka disappeared into the kitchen.
The two of them moved to Rin's room.
Before Shirou had even had a chance to sit down, Miss Tohsaka began questioning him.
"When did you and my mother become so close?"
She planted her hands on her hips, looking extremely fierce.
Any female high school student would have found it hard to accept seeing her mother being so close to a male student from her school.
Shirou: "Um... half a year ago?"
Rin Tohsaka: "Half a year ago?"
The girl furrowed her brow, then seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Was that during the time I wasn't feeling well?"
Shirou nodded.
"I-I see... Then I suppose it can't be helped..."
Rin Tohsaka awkwardly smoothed the black hair over her shoulder.
She had indeed caused Shirou a great deal of trouble during that time, and owed him plenty of favors.
So Amamiya became friends with Mother while he was taking care of me.
It still felt strange, but since she was the reason it had happened, there was nothing she could do about it...
Come to think of it, the way Mother had looked at Shirou just now had been incredibly gentle... That had only been her imagination, right?
"So, is there some reason you came all the way to my house to see me today?"
Rin Tohsaka sat down beside the bed, folding her arms over her chest as her beautiful legs, clad in black thigh-high stockings, crossed over each other.
With her sharp mind, she had already guessed that what they were about to discuss was something they couldn't explain in the Amamiya Residence Living Room.
