Chapter 739

Actually, I've seen you in my dreams.

Then I heard your name in my dream. You must find it incredible, right? But it's true."

Miyu remained silent, while Illya wore a subtle expression, as if looking at her idiot brother.

"... What kind of dream was it?" the girl asked earnestly.

"Huh? Miyu is lying in the middle of a strange Magic Circle. And then..."

"!!!"

Miyu's eyes widened.

Shirou observed her reaction and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it really have happened?"

"No, how could that be? There isn't."

Miyu's expression vanished, and her voice suddenly turned somewhat cold.

As she opened her mouth slightly, as if about to say something, the door opened again.

"Excuse me, Amamiya- san."

"Looks fine, you're recovering really quickly."

Rin Tohsaka and Luvia Zelitt entered the room, Miyu shut her mouth.

Shirou decided to save that topic for when he was alone with Miyu, and turned to Rin Tohsaka.

"I've heard about your situation from Ruby, but I'd still like you to elaborate."

"Yes. And then, Amamiya- san will naturally tell us about your situation, right?"

"If it's within the scope of what I know."

Shirou nodded, but to be honest, he knew nothing; too many strange things had happened recently.

The "sense of something being different" that occasionally creeps in during daily life.

Magecraft and combat skills learned without a teacher.

There's also a mysterious woman who looks exactly like Irisviel.

Next, Shirou and Rin Tohsaka exchanged information about their situations and goals.

Rin Tohsaka and Luvia Zelitt are Magecraft who came to Fuyuki City to retrieve Class Card.

The Class Card are the kind of cards Shirou picked up after defeating Rider; Shirou already heard about them from Ruby yesterday.

The Class Card seem to be mysterious Magic Crest that suddenly appeared in Fuyuki City, and even the Mage's Association, to which Tohsaka and the others belong, cannot grasp their full extent.

Along with the Class Card, Corrupted Heroic Spirit also appeared.

They are heroes and powerful figures who actually existed in mythology or history.

Fighting them and retrieving their Class Card is the job of the Magical Girl who wield the Kaleidoscope Wand.

"Then that terrifying, Corrupted Heroic Spirit was defeated last night by Amamiya, an ordinary person who didn't even know Magecraft existed."

"Yeah?"

Rin frowned unhappily. "... I said, do you really understand the seriousness of the situation?"

"This is a very serious matter!" Luvia added.

Even if you say that...

Shirou adopted a matter-of-fact attitude, only to be glared at fiercely by them.

Shirou knew nothing; he was simply desperately trying to protect Illya, nothing more.

"That's why I said it's impossible! Last night's Rider, if I'm not mistaken, Medusa, the heroine and assassin from Greek Mythology!"

Although you lost your rationality due to your descent into darkness, you actually defeated her single-handedly! Do you think you're the reincarnation of Great Hero?

Don't be angry, don't be angry.

Rin Tohsaka rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on from Shirou's nonchalant attitude, and sighed helplessly.

"This is something that even the word 'miracle' is insufficient to describe; it's truly extraordinary."

"Furthermore, Shirou himself doesn't even know why he possesses that cheating power?"

Luvia started calling him by his own name sometime during the night... Shirou was more concerned about this than the inexplicable power.

There's a limit to jokes!

The duo's emotions gradually escalated, and they attacked Shirou from both sides.

Two beautiful faces drew ever closer, Shirou, overwhelmed by their presence, pressed his back against the wall.

"You two calm down."

"Y-yes, that's right, Miss Rin. Speaking of which, Miss Rin, you're standing too close. Get away from my brother right now!"

"Miss Luvia is standing way too close!"

Shirou was very pleased to see his sisters come to his defense.

Illya Miyu also exuded an aura that was no less impressive than that of their respective assistants.

"... In short, the power that Amamiya displayed last night was just unbelievable."

"I still can't believe it... that was Projection Magic, right? It actually Projection Noble Phantasm..."

Shirou blinked. "Projection?"

Seeing the red-haired boy's clueless expression, Rin and Luvia realized that pressing him further would be pointless.

Rin: "Can it Projection other weapons as well?"

Shirou: "Uh, I don't know..."

Luvia: "I want to see it in person."

Shirou swallowed hard and nodded.

Give it a try.

He recalled the events of the previous night, and then—

"Projection, begin (Trace On)."

Amidst the girls' astonished expressions, the emerald green light of the Projection Magic illuminated the entire room.

After the light faded, an elegantly designed Japan sword appeared in Shirou's hand.

"What... is this?"

Rin and Luvia stared wide-eyed.

"I don't know." Shirou shook his head.

I sensed an overwhelming amount of magical power from within the scabbard; it was undoubtedly Noble Phantasm.

Japan swords are generally difficult to be recognized as Noble Phantasm, even those famous swords with hundreds of years of history.

But this is different.

Even they, who were laymen, understood that the demonic power contained within this knife was absolutely no less than any demonic sword in the world.

After that, Shirou Projection all sorts of strange weapons.

A two-handed greatsword with a near-future sci-fi feel and a built-in transformation mechanism; its design is reminiscent of the gauntlets of the head of a red dragon, and so on.

They were all weapons whose true names were completely unclear to Rin and Luvia.

"I completely don't understand, Amamiya- san, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm tired..."

Rin and Luvia collapsed to the ground.

"I'm the one who's exhausted, aren't I?"

Shirou was covered in sweat.

He was exhausted after Projection image more than a dozen times.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"Mr. Shirou, please have some tea."

Illya Miyu took turns looking after Shirou, one on each side.

Rin and Luvia originally wanted to uncover Shirou's secrets, but instead of figuring them out, they ended up uncovering even more secrets.

Projection Magic is a replication of the original, but the Noble Phantasm he created seem to have no original form at all.

Shirou didn't care; as long as he could protect Illya, that was enough for him.

The topic then returns to Rin Tohsaka and Luvia Zelitt.

They came to Fuyuki City to retrieve their Class Card, but they seem to have been abandoned by the Kaleidoscope Wand, although the two vehemently deny it.

"Mr. Shirou, please listen to me. Rin and the others are really going too far!"

The transformed appearance, no matter how you look at it, is just an older person trying to look young, and it makes us engage in pointless arguments over and over again.

"Shut up! Who are you calling old?!"

"Haha..." Shirou scratched his cheek.

"Amamiya- san, what kind of expression is that?!"

"No, it's nothing..."

After listening to Ruby's explanation, Shirou could roughly imagine the scene.

Sapphire did not deny it, and Luvia turned away, trying to bluff her way out of it.

If these two team up, they'll likely start fighting over an argument before they can even defeat the enemy.

At that moment, Shirou suddenly remembered Illya Miyu's adorable transformed forms.

The thought of Tohsaka and the others becoming like that made Shirou's lips twitch uncontrollably.

Pfft, hehehe... No, no! Don't imagine it, absolutely don't laugh!

"Miss Rin is even wearing cat ears..."

"Pfft! Hahahaha...!"

"Cat, cat ears...? Pfft, ahahahahaha!"

Shirou and Illya finally couldn't take it anymore and burst into laughter.

"Wow--Wow--! Shut up Ruby! That was your doing! And no laughing! Forget about it!"

Rin, her face flushed, angrily rebuked the brother and sister.

Luvia: "Oh--hehehe! Rin Tohsaka! You look absolutely ridiculous!"

Rin: "What did you say?! Aren't you the same?!"

Luvia: "Shut up, Rin Tohsaka!"

"Yes, Lady Luvia is also wearing cat ears."

"What!? Sapphire! Why did you have to say that?!"

Luvia blushed.

Shirou and Illya laughed even louder, and Miyu looked at them happily as well.

"... Ahem! Can we continue, Amamiya? You've already forgotten what happened earlier, haven't you?"

"Yes."

Rin and Luvia stared at the brother and sister with terrifying expressions, while Shirou and Illya nodded silently.

Let's get back to the main topic.

After learning about each other's situations and current circumstances, they began to discuss their futures.
