Aoi Tohsaka felt a sudden wave of heat wash over her.

Those eyes—

No. She mustn’t look into them any longer.

Her instincts as a mage warned her of the danger, yet she couldn’t look away from the golden Mystic Eyes shimmering with rainbow colors.

Shirou noticed that something was wrong and quickly sat up on the bench, deactivating the Mystic Eyes of Enchantment he had accidentally triggered.

But he was too late.

“Mrs. Tohsaka? What’s wrong? Are you all right?”

A moment later, Aoi lunged forward.

“W-wait! Mrs. Tohsaka? What are you doing? Stop!”

Volume Nine, Chapter 418

“Mm...”

Aoi Tohsaka gradually returned to consciousness.

When she opened her sleepy eyes, the first thing she saw was a boy’s face directly above her.

“Ah... Shi... rou...?”

“Mrs. Tohsaka? You’re awake. Just stay there and rest for now.”

“...All right.”

Aoi nodded obediently, though she was puzzled.

Wait. Why?

She was lying with her head in Shirou’s lap. Yet the last thing she remembered was letting him rest with his head in hers.

How had their positions been reversed?

Had she fallen asleep on his lap?

Strangely enough, although it should have been embarrassing, she didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Her head was foggy, and she felt too weak to move.

I think I just did something... terrible?

But she couldn’t remember. Not a thing.

Aoi looked down at herself. The outfit she had carefully chosen for their outing was neat, with nothing visibly out of place.

She trusted Shirou. He was a good boy, and she knew he wouldn’t do anything to harm her.

She stared at his face, as though she might find the answer there.

“Is... is something wrong, Mrs. Tohsaka?”
