Shirou's Grand Heroic Saga Chapter 48

Cards are essentially vessels containing Heroic Spirits. As long as one possesses a card, Ryuudou Temple will forcibly repatriate the cardholder.

This made Shirou abandon the idea of infiltrating and ambushing.

"Senpai, did you sense anything?" Sakura asked, frowning and looking unhappily in the direction of Ryuudou Temple.

"No. Sakura, are you feeling unwell?" Shirou took Sakura's hand and then felt her forehead. Her temperature was normal.

"N-no, I'm fine. I just felt like someone in Ryuudou Temple was watching us," Sakura shook her head, but her hand gripped tightly. "I feel like something bad is going to happen."

"Is it Caster's surveillance? If that's the case, let's hurry. Shall I give you a ride back?"

"It's fine, I just feel a bit uneasy. My Rider card has a Riding Skill of A+!"

Is she really fine?

Shirou looked at Sakura, feeling uneasy in his heart. She must have said that to avoid worrying him, right?

What exactly was in Ryuudou Temple?

Chapter 23: Confrontation with Lancer

As the dishes were brought out from the kitchen, an irresistible aroma filled the air.

Chinese cuisine, Japanese cuisine, everything was there.

"Is this the legendary Manchu-Han Imperial Feast? Archer, you should just be a cooker from now on, okay?" Lancer picked up his chopsticks, about to reach for the food, but the meal hadn't started yet.

"Even though my English isn't good, I know that 'cook' is the chef. Stop your chopsticks!"

Lancer was an excellent Magician before participating in the war, how could he not know the difference between such simple English words?

"So, that means you agree to be a chef?"

Checkmate! Lancer smiled, took his hands off the keyboard... and typed GG!

"Yeah."

"Huh?" Lancer was shocked. He actually went along with his words?

Shirou smiled. Who was he, Shirou Emiya? Would he fall for such a trap?

In just a few seconds, the masters had exchanged their blows, their gazes having completed a round...

"Shall we eat once everyone is here? Senpai?" Sakura sat down with a smile, tucking the hair that had fallen in front of her behind her ear.

"Hm?" Seeing that Shirou wasn't reacting, Sakura turned her head, only to find Shirou staring at her the whole time.

Sakura blushed again instantly.

"Se-Senpai?"

"Ah, sorry. I zoned out for a moment." Shirou turned his head, lamenting his lack of endurance. It was just a matter of enduring one or two more days! He would end the Holy Grail War today, and then he could...

His complexion was about to turn grim!
