Chapter 732

He had a good relationship with his sister, so it didn't matter if he entered her room without knocking... as long as Sella didn't know.

The thought of Illya, now a high school student, possibly throwing things around and yelling, "Don't come into my room like that, you idiot big brother!" filled Shirou with immense heartache.

Let's cherish Illya while she's still a primary school student.

"Illya, it's dawn. Time to get up."

Shirou shook the silver-haired little girl lying on the bed.

Illya frowned slightly and muttered something.

"Hmm~ just five more minutes of sleep..."

"Alright, get up now."

"Hmm~ Just ten more minutes of sleep..."

"Why are there even more of them?!"

Shirou sighed helplessly.

"Really..."

What a troublesome little sister, Shirou thought to himself.

However, she is also my lovely younger sister.

Shirou is willing to risk everything to protect her.

The moment I thought that, a sharp pain suddenly shot through the depths of my head.

Hmm, what was that just now?

Unfamiliar images appeared in my mind.

A girl who wasn't Illya's sister lay in the center of a Magic Circle.

A Shirou who isn't mine is looking down at that little sister.

My sister was crying sadly; she looked like she had given up on everything, while Shirou (me)...

"I hope this world can stop my sister from suffering... I entrust my sister to you."

"Hmm... what is this?"

Shirou staggered and covered his confused head.

I'm acting so strangely today, should I ask the school for leave...?

"Good morning, brother--"

Illya opened her sleepy eyes.

"Huh? Oh, good morning."

Hearing his sister's voice, Shirou snapped out of his reverie.

Illya seemed to be still half asleep. She asked in confusion, "Huh? Why is my brother here?"

Shirou: "Seriously, go wash your face, Illya."

Illya: "Huh? Ah!? Brother? A real brother? Or just some fantasy I'm having?"

... Isn't it an illusion created by Ruby? It's my real brother!?

Shirou: "Calm down, I don't understand what you're saying."

Illya: "Ugh! Get out! Get out now! I don't want my brother to see me like this after I just woke up!"

And so, Shirou was kicked out of the room.

Despair gripped the boy's heart: Had his sister entered puberty earlier than expected...?

"I am Rin Tohsaka. Everyone, please take care of me from now on."

"I am Luvia Zelitt Edelfelt. Nice to meet you all."

Not long after Shirou arrived at the school, the teacher led two transfer students into the classroom.

The girl with black hair in twin tails is named Rin Tohsaka, and the girl with golden Rome curls is named Luvia Zelitt.

They seemed to be from London, and were incredibly beautiful girls from either side.

The boys in the class erupted in unprecedented cheers, except for Shirou and Issei.

Shirou is used to beautiful women because of Sella and the others, Issei is a monk at the temple.

He always kept his distance from girls, seemingly uninterested.

As Shirou was thinking about Issei, for some reason, the teacher and the two transfer students all looked over.

Oops, I was just spacing out.

What did they say?

Just as Shirou arrived at the scene of the disaster, the teacher said, dumbfounded:

"Are you listening, Amamiya? I asked you to show the two transfer students around the school."

"Ah, oh... I understand."

Shirou quickly agreed, and the atmosphere in the classroom instantly became tense.

The boys glared at Shirou with eyes that seemed to spit fire, and Moriyama, who was sitting next to Shirou, burst into tears for some reason.

"Nice to meet you, Amamiya."

Rin Tohsaka flashed a gentle smile that could charm any high school boy in the world as she shook hands with Shirou.

Please give me your guidance.

Luvia Zelitt coldly crossed her arms and uttered a single sentence, completely disregarding Shirou.

Shirou thought to himself with a sigh, "I'll have to ask for leave from the club activities this evening."

And so, after school, Shirou, as planned, took the two very individualistic and beautiful transfer students on a tour of the school.

"... And then, this is the music classroom."

Halfway through the tour, Shirou led them to another building within the teaching complex.

"Oh, it's quite pretty."

Rin Tohsaka looked around the classroom curiously, Luvia Zelitt said coldly.

"Yes. Although it looks shabby compared to my mansion, it's barely passable."

Rin: "Ugh, you're still the same as ever, always acting all high and mighty. That's what's annoying."

Luvia: "Oh dear, Miss Monkey, still being stubborn? That's so typical of you."

Rin: "Who are you calling a monkey?!"

"Okay, okay, you two calm down."

For the first half hour, the two transfer students pretended to be well-behaved and spoke very politely.

Shirou told Rin Tohsaka that there was no need to be so polite, and since they were in the same class, he wanted to talk to them in a more intimate way.

And so—their true nature was quickly revealed, and they began to argue and bicker with each other.

That's literally meaning "water and fire incompatible."

Like water and oil, this dangerous duo should never be mixed together.

Thanks to this, Shirou was able to mediate between the two of them.

Shirou began to resent the teacher who assigned him this job; the two had such a bad relationship that they would argue over just a few words.

"Okay, okay, next up is the last place..."

As Shirou said this, he led them to the final location—the playground.

During the day, the boys offered to take the tour in Shirou's place.

I should have let them take their place, so they would be completely disillusioned with the concept of beautiful girls.

As Shirou pondered this, he led Rin and Luvia on a tour of the playground.

It's finally over.

Rin: "Thank you so much, Amamiya- san."

Luvia: "I also want to thank you."

The transfer students gave Shirou their final thanks.

Shirou waved his hand. "It's nothing, it's just a small matter."

If you encounter any further difficulties, just let me know, and I will do my best to help you.

Hearing him say that, Rin Tohsaka gave a mischievous smile.

"Yes, I'll be doing you a lot of ordering around then. Get ready, okay?"

"Please, please show mercy..."

Shirou felt a chill run down his spine, but he still agreed to her request.

If anyone is in trouble, Shirou will do his best to help.

Miss Eiri taught him this way from a young age.

"... I can't sleep."

That night, Shirou inexplicably suffered from insomnia.

The idea that she was too excited to sleep because she met the beautiful transfer students from London seems to be an overstatement.

Suddenly, he heard faint footsteps.

"Who could it be so late?... Is that the sound of someone coming downstairs? Is it Illya?"

If you wake up in the middle of the night, should you get a drink of water or go to the bathroom?

For some reason, Shirou was a little bothered, so he decided to secretly follow Illya.

Shirou tiptoed down the stairs, afraid of being discovered by Illya.

He himself didn't know why he was doing it; it was just that some kind of "Instinct" was driving him.

Illya didn't go to the kitchen or the bathroom, but instead headed towards the entrance hall.

"Hey, hey, why are you going out so late?"

Shirou put on his shoes and quietly followed behind Illya.

Illya was very cautious, glancing back every now and then, but Shirou skillfully avoided her gaze.

Despite it being his first time tailing someone, Shirou felt as if he had a natural talent for stealth, as if his body knew exactly how to move.

We should have grabbed Illya and asked her where she was going, but curiosity got the better of us.

If Illya sneaked out at night to meet a boy, Shirou would probably be so upset that he'd ask for a year of sick leave from school.

"School?"

Shirou followed Illya to the school.

Homonculus comprises a high school, a junior high school, and an elementary school, so it's where both Shirou and Illya go to school every day.

Then, someone was waiting for her there.

Great, it's not a guy with dyed blonde hair...

"Uh, Tohsaka? Why are Tohsaka and Illya meeting here?"
