Chapter 753
Luvia said coldly, "What? Rin Tohsaka, are you Shirou risked his life to save me?"
Rin retorted angrily, "Amamiya-kun didn't save you alone; he saved me too!"
"Oh, is that so? You were just used as a side trip, right?"
"So you're the one who just happened to be there!"
As always, Rin and Luvia immediately started arguing.
Really at a loss with these two, Shirou gave a wry smile, "Haha... Luvia, I appreciate your kindness..."
"Mr. Shirou, are you moving in with us?"
The boy's thoughts were briefly interrupted by the clear, melodious voice of a young girl.
A delicate and dignified face, not quite befitting a primary school student, appeared before him—it was Miyu.
Speaking of which... Miyu also lives with Luvia...
If I move in there, wouldn't I be seeing Miyu every day!?
Shirou:"..."
Luvia's proposal suddenly became very appealing.
Miyu and Shirou stared at each other.
Although she didn't say anything despite her cool expression, her eyes shone with anticipation.
Shirou swallowed hard. "Miyu... I..."
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure surged from behind Miyu.
"----"
Looking over the girl's shoulder, Shirou saw his cute little sister staring intently at him without saying a word.
"N-Never mind..."
Shirou succumbed to Illya's invisible pressure and said guiltily.

Volume 10: Chapter 455 The Noisy and Lively Daily Life of a Harem
"..."
How embarrassing.
Very embarrassing.
Shirou looked away from the maid who was glaring at him and covered his mouth with the blanket.
It's been like this ever since, Sella's beautiful face is as cold and indifferent as if frozen, the reason is obvious -- the injury she suffered last night.
What happened to your injury?
"... Shall we fight?"
"Oh, what were you fighting with? A brown bear or something?"
"That's pretty much it..."
Shirou said in a low voice, sounding very unsure of himself.
Sella flew into a rage. "... Do you think I'd believe that!"
"Sorry!"
That's how it is.
Last night, Shirou was seriously injured in the battle against the Corrupted Heroic Spirit Saber.
Although Rin Tohsaka and Luvia helped with the treatment, it wasn't complete, since they themselves admitted they weren't skilled in healing Magecraft.
When I got home, my injuries were still quite serious, and there was no way to cover it up.
"You have absolutely no sense of responsibility as the eldest son of this family!"
Sella was truly enraged.
"Even if I believe you, how am I supposed to contact the school and tell them you went out on the street in the middle of the night without permission and got into a fight with a bear and were seriously injured?"
Hmm.
Shirou couldn't refute it; he understood perfectly what Sella was trying to say.
Rin and Luvia also indicated that they needed to rest for at least a few days, so Shirou had to ask the school for leave, while Sella had to be responsible for contacting the school.
"And Miss Illya also has a fever, so I have to ask for her to be off work today. Do you know how much of a headache this is for me!"
Ultimately, you actually took Miss Illya, who's still a primary school student, out in the middle of the night...
Sella muttered to herself, looking distressed.
"... terribly sorry."
Once Sella starts lecturing, she can go on and on for a long time.
Although she is usually very strict with Illya, her bottom line is actually very low; she will soften her heart as long as Illya acts cute.
Since Illya was unwell this time, Sella couldn't vent her anger on her, so she could only take it out on Shirou, the mastermind.
Because he couldn't reveal what happened late at night, Shirou took all the blame.
In other words, it's understandable that Sella would be angry because she believed Shirou had taken Illya out late at night.
"Is Illya alright?"
"It doesn't look like he has a cold; his fever should break after a good night's sleep."
"Yeah..."
Shirou was a little uneasy because Ruby's credibility was so low.
Thinking about it carefully, Sella couldn't possibly know anything about Magecraft, so there's no point in asking her.
However, since Sella had been the maid who had taken care of the two siblings since they were children, Shirou felt somewhat relieved to hear her say that.
Just as Shirou breathed a sigh of relief, Sella cast another sharp glance at him.
"So, Shirou doesn't intend to tell the truth?"
"... Well."
"Fine. I trust Shirou. Let's not ask anything for now."
Sella could, of course, see that Shirou was hiding something.
No, if she really believed that Shirou took his sister out in the middle of the night to fight a bear, Shirou would also be very troubled.
Sella wore a very complicated expression, sighed, and walked out of the room.
"Make sure you get plenty of rest. I'll do all the housework for the next few days."
"I see."
Sella stopped in her tracks at the doorway.
"Make sure you get plenty of rest! To be honest, it's wrong for Shirou, the eldest son, to want to do housework!"
That kind of work should have been my job as a maid, so I might as well take this opportunity to abolish this ridiculous shift system...
Shirou deliberately yawned.
"Ugh~ I'm so sleepy, so sleepy~ I can't sleep because Sella keeps talking in my ear~"
If you keep talking, I might not be able to sleep tonight~ Is Sella hoping I won't be able to get a proper rest?
Okay, then I'll get up and find something to do.
"Hmm! We'll talk about this another time!"
"Call..."
Shirou has heard similar complaints so many times he's practically sick of them.
Sella softened her tone. "... What would you like for lunch?"
Shirou said, "Anything Sella makes is delicious, so anything is fine."
"What...! You said those things so casually again... Never mind!"
Sella blushed, gave her a resentful look, and then slammed the door shut.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Shirou surrendered himself to the soft bed.
"A rest, please?"
Recalling the turmoil of the past few days, Shirou let out a long sigh.
Indeed, both my body and mind are nearing their limits.
I definitely pushed myself too hard last night.
He was first seriously injured by Saber's sneak attack, and then fought her to the very end despite those injuries.
A series of Projection Magic, coupled with Divine Constructs... and the replication of the Holy Sword.
Finally, he even unleashed the Holy Sword and clashed with Saber in a battle of firepower.
Although Projection Magic consumes very little energy, the True Name Release consumes a lot.
Because he had acted so recklessly, Shirou's Magic Circuits were no longer functioning properly, and his self-healing technique could not be activated.
Now might be the perfect time to rest.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, Shirou quickly fell asleep.
"... So idle."
Shirou was completely fed up with the idea of doing nothing but lying in bed.
He was able to take a nap in the morning, so it was alright, but after Sella woke him up for lunch, he was incredibly bored.
I can't sleep now, I can only lie in bed.
In this situation, Shirou would usually tidy up the room, since the cleaning job wasn't assigned to Sella.
Sella wanted to clean, but he resisted with all his might, and she was finally persuaded.
Shirou is, after all, a high school student in the prime of his adolescence.
Even though they're family, I really don't want a young woman cleaning my room.
Of course, it's not anything shameful...
"... call."
Just as Shirou was getting bored, he heard his sister's voice coming from Illya's room next door.
Illya seemed very excited, and I couldn't quite hear what she was saying... a maid or something?
"... A maid? You mean Sella? But it seems Illya has recovered her spirits..."
Shirou listened intently and, besides Illya's voice, heard another familiar voice.
... Miyu coming?
There seemed to be the sounds of Ruby and Sapphire.
"What if Sella hears this?" Shirou thought helplessly, pressing his ear against the wall.
"Miyu, let your brother see her too!"
