The Lion King caught him by the arm.

“Shirou, do you have a fever?”

“Of course not!”

“Then why… why are you avoiding me? It really hurts…”

Come to think of it, there was another way the Lion King had changed: she had become more emotionally demanding.

Artoria had always had the potential. Since the last incident, that tendency had only grown stronger, until her intensely possessive side had fully awakened.

“Shirou, you’re hiding something from me.”

The Lion King held Shirou in place with strength no human could resist.

He turned his face away. “No, I’m not.”

“Have you been meeting with my sister again lately?”

“…Artoria, you idiot!”

“You’re the one keeping secrets from me… I really am going to get angry!”

Just as they reached an impasse…

“You’re having a married couple’s quarrel in broad daylight? Give me a break.”

“Rider!”

A second woman’s voice came from the doorway. It was Rider.

After the world had returned to normal, she too had come back to Fuyuki.

“Senpai, I’m here.”

Rider had apparently gone to pick Sakura up from school today. Sakura Matou stood beside her, looking at the Lion King with a mixture of apprehension and defiance.

“A m-married couple’s quarrel?”

A faint blush rose to the Lion King’s cheeks.

Was that so…?

To other people, did she look like Shirou’s wife? Hehe… how lovely.

The Lion King clenched her fists, her eyes brimming with determination.

“I’m borrowing Shirou.”

Leaving the goddess to her daydreams, Rider pulled him into the house.

A soft knock sounded in the quiet hospital room.

Miyu, sitting silently on the bed, looked toward the door. She could make out a figure through the white curtain.
