As long as I could meet Lord Nameless in person...
No matter how steady and proper an adult he was—even if he already had a family—he would definitely be attracted to me...?
"Okay."
The girl took a deep breath, patted her burning cheeks, and looked at the screen.
"Nameless: Better not."
Kiyoko Sesshoin's smile froze.
"Nameless: I'm already very happy that you feel this way."
"Nameless: It's not that I dislike meeting Miss Yao Bikuni. It's just that it would be somewhat inconvenient."
"Nameless: Anyway! If you run into any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me anytime!"
"..."
Kiyoko Sesshoin suddenly understood.
This person had never thought of asking anything from others.
Everything Nameless did was for justice. He had never harbored any ulterior motives.
After all, he was the only "human" she acknowledged.
Compared to him, she had actually been thinking of seducing him. What a shameless idea.
Of course you would fail, Kiyoko!
Lord Nameless was a special existence—a "human" unlike any vulgar thing in this world.
If she wanted to win his heart, she had to become even, even, even more shameless, Kiyoko!!!
The girl clenched her fists.
"Yao Bikuni: I'm really, really sorry!"
"Yao Bikuni: I just said something strange. How embarrassing. Please hurry up and erase that memory. Orz"
"Yao Bikuni: And, um... please continue being my chat partner from now on too, Lord Nameless, okay? (*°▽°*)"
"Nameless: Leave it to me. ('?ω?`)b"
That night, the two of them chatted until late.
After that, they stayed in close contact as well.
Peaceful days passed quickly, and before they knew it, a month had gone by.
After three weekends of strenuous cleaning work, the Fujimura Group's mansion-cleaning commission finally came to an end.
Shirou said goodbye to the Matou Family and moved into a huge Japanese-style mansion with an "Amamiya" nameplate on the gate.
Volume One 022 Morgan: Add Me to the New Home Group ToT
Shirou's new home—provisionally named the Amamiya Residence—was located in the northern residential district of Miyama Town.
The residential district was roughly divided into Western- and Japanese-style areas by the shopping street. The Amamiya Residence was in the Japanese-style area, while the Matou and Tohsaka mansions were in the Western-style area.
The abandoned mansion, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, had been completely transformed through the joint efforts of Shirou, the Fujimura Group, and the Matou siblings.
The weeds and fallen leaves in the courtyard had been cleared away, and a neat, fresh lawn had been laid down.
The dilapidated mansion had undergone comprehensive repairs and reconstruction. It now exuded an elegant Japanese-style charm, which was mainly Fujimura Raika's preference.
Shirou had spent too long in Britain and was not very accustomed to Eastern styles, but since the old man had arranged everything, he had no complaints.
The main building was divided into two sections: the Japanese-style rooms and the annex.
Shirou's own room was in the main building. Apart from his room, there were three empty rooms there.
The annex had been specially renovated into guest rooms, with a full five empty rooms.
In other words, this huge mansion had nine vacant rooms with bedding already prepared. Nine people could live there, each with their own private space.
"It's a little too big, isn't it? It's practically an inn..."
Shirou wondered, Who were all these rooms prepared for? And who would ever use them?
Saturday noon.
In the spacious, brightly lit living room of the new mansion, Shirou, the Matou siblings, and the people from the Fujimura Group held a celebration party.
Fujimura Raika and the Yakuza Clones drank on one side, while Fujimura Yamato had Shirou and the other children sit at a nearby table.
Sakura Matou set down her teacup and seemingly asked offhandedly about the question that had been troubling her for several weeks.
"Come to think of it, how did Brother Shirou meet Sister Fujimura? You two seem really close."
The girl had clearly been dwelling on it. How could the two of them be so close?
She and Brother Shirou had lived under the same roof for several months, yet they had not grown that close...
Taiga Fujimura looked proud. "I'm Shirou's guardian, you know."
"Sister Fujiwara, yakitori sauce dripped onto your school uniform."
"What? Oh wow, it really did! Shirou, quick! Help me wipe it clean!"
"You're hopeless."
Their intimate interaction and conversation made Sakura Matou restless. Just then, Fujimura Raika walked over and spoke.
"Little girl, are you curious?"
"Ah... yes."
So Fujimura Raika gulped down his liquor while recounting the legend of Shirou from that day.
The red-haired boy had stormed into the yakuza's headquarters alone. With nothing but a wooden sword, he had beaten the ferocious adults into disarray. Even the invincible Tiger of Fuyuki had been no match for him—
This was exactly the kind of subject boys were interested in. Shinji's eyes widened with excitement as he listened.
"Shirou! You know kendo? You even defeated the yakuza? It's just like in a movie! That's amazing...!"
"Ah, yeah... Hey, old man, don't go spreading all that nonsense around."
Fujimura Raika paid no heed. "What's the harm? Don't be shy, hahaha!
"Shirou's swordsmanship was incredible! It was practically magic!
"The young men in my group and I were stunned. It was the first time we'd ever seen someone beat Taiga at kendo."
"Ohhh..."
Shinji looked at Shirou with admiration.
Recently, he had been "secretly" studying magecraft theory under his father.
It was incredibly, incredibly difficult, and he had made no progress at all, but he still kept at it.
Two things motivated him to continue. One was the thought, I have to become a brother worthy of respect. The other was Shirou.
To young Shinji Matou, Shirou was both his most important friend and the object of his admiration—his savior.
He had originally planned to show off to Shirou after learning even a little magecraft.
With that simple thought in mind, he had one day been told the following by his sister, who was studying magecraft alongside him.
"Brother, do you really think Brother Shirou doesn't know magecraft?"
"...Huh?"
Had Shirou always known magecraft?
Then why hadn't he told me? Why hadn't he come and shown off to me? Weren't we best friends?
Shinji Matou had been troubled by this for a long time.
Now, he finally understood—
Magecraft was merely one of the countless skills Shirou Amamiya possessed.
Not only magecraft, but swordsmanship too... He had no need to show off at all.
Shinji Matou was suddenly overwhelmed with shame.
Shirou is so capable, yet he's so modest and low-key. And I spend all day thinking about showing off... This is completely unacceptable.
The seaweed-haired boy decided to go home and reflect seriously on himself.
As for Sakura Matou, she let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. I thought Brother Shirou liked older women. It seems that isn't the case... Probably not, right?
Afterward, Shirou led everyone to see the dojo in the new mansion.
Fujimura Raika finally got his long-awaited match with Shirou.
Naturally, the winner was the boy who had celebrated his eighth birthday not long ago.
Facing a muscular, towering old man over six feet tall, he won without any real danger.
"S-so strong, Shirou! Are you a genius?"
"Brother Shirou, here's a towel... Let me wipe your sweat!"
The Matou siblings ran over and surrounded him, while the Yakuza Clones comforted their boss one after another.
"Boss! Don't be discouraged! There's no shame in losing to Shirou! We lost to him too!"
However—
Of everyone watching, only Taiga Fujimura saw the truth: the red-haired boy had actually held back enough to fill the entire Miyou River.
The girl smiled happily. "You really are such a kind and gentle child, Shirou."
"Ah~ That feels so refreshing~"
"Sister Fujiwara, have some dignity."
"What's the big deal? Since Shirou's a boy too, he should understand, right?"
"But Sister Fujiwara is a girl, so you can't say things like that."
"Yeah, yeah~"
Because the door to the new bathroom was locked, Shirou had come to unlock it for Taiga Fujimura. They were now walking back toward the living room along the corridor.
When they passed the inner courtyard, they found the Matou siblings crouching in the grass, apparently observing something.
"Hey, brats, what are you doing?"
Taiga Fujimura strode over carelessly.
"Ah, Brother Shirou! Sister Fujimura!"
Sakura Matou turned around and showed the two of them her great biological discovery.
"Meow~~~"
It turned out to be a calico cat.
It seemed to have accidentally wandered into the mansion. Now it was curled up on the grass, lazily basking in the sunlight.
"So cute, kitty~"
Shinji Matou lay on the ground and wiggled his butt with a lovestruck expression.
